SECRETARY TALKS
TO HOQUIAM MEN
w. 3. D. Dodson, Secretary Of Port.
land Commercial Club,
Gives Views.

HOQUIAM, May 4.-Development
of shipping, the port and es
pecially of return cargoes as a
means of bringing more shipping
and securing regular lines of steam
ers, was the advice of w. B. D. Dod
son, secretary of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, in an address Wed
nesday at the weekly luncheon of the
Commercial club at the Rex Cafe in
this city. His address was one OF
the most interesting presented before
the Commercial club in several
months.
Mr. Dodson laid particular stress
on the Importance of return cargoes
for ships. His topic was THE Indus
trial Problems of the Community" He
told of conditions which Portland had
faced, and how that city had neglect
ed to provide for shipping lines and es
pecially for industrial development
which would bring return cargoes for
vessels carrying lumber and other pro
ducts from Portlandd overseas. When
the war broke out and the demand for
ships took steamers to other trade
Portland suddenly found it had little
or no shipping. Now Portland is al
work attempting to remedy conditions
and is making good progress, Mr.. bod
son stated.
