Hugh Mel.aln arrived home today from Washington after having stop ped a few rtnys in Portland. Ho is elated over tho passage of tho Mill Slough bill and Is also optimis tic over tho outlook for a Jetty ap propriation for Coos Bay nt the com ing session of Congress. "It Is certainly most gratifying to know that the Mill Slough bill went through," snld Mr. McLain today. "The matter was ready for action for several days boforo I left Wash lng8ton, but thoy were unable to get a quorum so that the matter could be called up for a vote. "I think that the principal thing now about getting the reconstruc tion of the Jetty started Is for ub to got busy on this end. 1 wired tho Port Commission from Washington about 'tho statuB of it there and If they will hurry and get the dntn of tlio special survey before tlio olll elals at Washington I bollove that an appropriation of at least a mil lion can bo obtained to start the Jetty.

Mr. McLain says that there is a marked Improvement In business conditions in the East but Hint mon ey Is still a little slow on account of tho uncertainty over tho curren cy bill. Ho looks fo.r tho bill to bo passed and says thnt President Wilson is gaining a world of strength by his stand on the big public questions. 5lvcs McLain Credit. In concluding a lengthy Interview with Hugh McLain, praising Senators Lano nnd Chnmbeiialn, a Portland paper says: "Mr. McLain was in Washington to argue the pnssago of a hill per mitting tlio authorities of Marsh llold to close Mill slough In that city.

KEPT SECRET OF ONE LEG Chamberlain Did Not Tell Marshfield Girl About Hav ing Two False Legs. P. D. Cliamborlnln, tho typowiiter salesmnn who Is well known through out this section, did not tell Miss Eva Selmor, tho wnltress at tho Chandlor, who left hero a fow days ago, that ho had two falsa limbs, Ho admitted Inning ono but tho other ho kept secret, alio says. A Portland pnpor glvos the following particulars: Miss Eva Selmor did not know P. D. Chamberlain hnd lost both legs when slio married lilin. This Is one of tho reasons given by tho young woman for readily consenting to ap pear as a witness against tho man, who is chnrged with bigamy. In addition to the Portland wifo ho has a wife and child in Portland. Mnlno. It appears Chamberlain told Miss Selmor he had one cork leg, but did not say anything about tho other. When she learned that both legs wore cork, the first quarrel occurred. Howover, this matter wna passed ov er until Sunday evening, when the two officers went to their apartments at 338 Eleventh street to arrest Chamberlain. WILL BUILD EMBASSY.
