FLEET NEEDED ON COAST Especially Vulnerable Point Says Naval Constructor Evans. SAN FRANCISCO, March 27. Naval Constructor Holden A. Evans, of Mare Island, speaking at a. banquet given by the Rotary Club in this city, de clared it was absolutely necessary to maintain a powerful fleet In Pacific Waters. He said: v "The Pacific Coast is especially vul nerable and can only be defended by a powerful fleet. Without such a fleet :an enemy can raid the coast, destroy commerce and effect landings at many places. The acquisition of the Philip pines and the Hawaiian.. Islands has hrmueit- t f r.

(Special.) Of ficials of the Harriman lines declare that the colonist movement into the Northwest during March and April bids fair to break all records. The estimate is 70,000 as against 38,000 for the Harriman lines last year during these two months. The record movement over the Harri man roads for these two months was in 1907, when 68.300 colonists traveled over the system's lines. Last year's poor show ing was due not only to the financial de pression, but to the fact that there had been a slight Increase in the colonist rate. This year the rates have- been put back to $33. William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Harriman lines in Oregon, said last night that this report was rapidly being verified by local reports made to the general office here. He said for the last three weeks about 1500 more colonists arrived In Oregon than for the corresponding three weeks of last year. In figuring colonist travel, the companies do not take Into consideration round-trip business, such as will be largely aug mented when the Seattle fair opens. Mr; McMurray gave it as his opinion that the great increase In colonist travel this month so far, and which is certain to continue through April, and be taken up in the Fall, when the low rates again will be in force, namely J33 from Chicago and $25 from Missouri River points, can be credited to the admirable system of com munity advertising that has been done by the towns and cities of Oregon. He said that on his recent trip East ho looked Into the matter carefully and Is convinced that Oregon was never so well known in that part of the country as now. He added that agents of the com panies reported to him a better class of colonists have" come to this state or are arranging to come than during any pre vious year. These have received printed matter from the various commercial bodies of the state and promotion associations, to gether with the information furnished by the railroad 'companies, the result being that they are thoroughly posted on the resources of the state and come fully In formed about what to expect. . He said colonists have improved in another re spect. Where, for the past few years, numbers of colonists arrived in the state with hardly enough money to keep them going until they found employment, the rule now is that these people are pos sessed of sufficient means either to buy lands or a business for themselves and are much more well-to-do than formerly was the - case. Mr. MoMurray said the estimate made from Chicago, In comparison with the travel in 1897, was quite under the mark, from every indication, and he confidently asserts that this year will greatly exceed that of any preceding year.
