ON BOARD U. S. S. ST. LOUIS. June
15. (Special.) Filled, with expecta
tions of what the morrow may bring
forth in the way of new experiences
on a man-o'-war, 140 officers and men
of the Oregon Naval Militia passed out
of the Columbia Into the broad, expan
sive Pacific tonight, less than 12 hours
after the cruiser St. Louis had hauled
its ancbor aboard at Portland. The
course tonight Is toward the north, as,
the ship is to pick up the submarine
F-4 tomorrow, for the trip to San Fran
cisco. The meeting place is not known
definitely, but it is supposed that the
F-4 will be waiting in the vicinity of
Tatoosh, in which event the militiamen
will not get much of a view of Puget
bound.
The stay of the St. Loius at Port
land has served to impress another
delegation of navy officers with the
importance of the city and as a unit
they are expressing the opinion that
the Columbia River will become one
of the most popular calling places on
the Pacific Coast for ships of the
service.
Officers and Crew Made Happy.
Every detail for the mooring of the
cruiser and reception of her crew was
executed with such pleasant results
that the navy men had little to do save
be happy. One of the big items among
helpful things tendered was the deliv
ery of 14,000 gallons of Bull Run water
into the tanks of the St. Louis, which,
through an arrangement between Har-
bormaster Speier and the Fire Depart
ment, was poured into the big recep
tlcles without the ship's crew being
called on to labor.
The departure this morning was at
tended by several striking, pleasantries,
and one of them that impressed the of.
fleers came from Cajtain Mason, of the
steamer Beaver. As the St. Louis be
gan to swirjg, to head down stream,
the Beaver's trumpeter played "Aloha,"
the. Hawaiian melody, and the two
ships exchanged courtesies.
Through the hanbor the Oregon
Naval Militia band played and the dem
onstration of whistle farewells grew
until the city limits were reached. On
the lower river much attention was
given the cruiser.
No sooner did reveille sound this
morning than the Militiamen were
astir with the regulars of the crew and
in every part of the preparations for
embarking were they represented. It
was militiamen who hauled in the
gangways, helped with the lines to the
stern anchor and were conspicuous on
the forecastle head when the forward
"mud hook" was raised and they
"turned to" with a vim to help clean
ship. Below decks, in the engineroom.
where Chief Engineer J. A. Ward was
sweating with his bullies, Oregon men
also were on the Job.
MrKatta Not to Get Cruiser.
It has been learned officially that
ine tot. Louis will not be available for
the 1913 regatta at Astoria, as, the
Navy Department had previously prom
ised the vessel would be at Taeoma.
It probably will be possible for As-
torians to have the St. Louis for a day
or two immediately following the
cruise, wmcn ends June 25.
In summing up the number of visi
' tors received at Portland last week it
is estimated that 30,000 persons were
aDoara ouring the Rose Festival.
Besides officers of the Naval Militia

Flnzer, of the Oregon National Guard,

BOURNE HAS ROAD PLAN
I'ederal Aid Is Suggested to Provide
$3,000,000,000.
WASHINGTON. June IT.. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.. chairman of the joint com
mittee on Federal aid, in the construe-
tion of post roads, today gave to the
press the following statement:
"With city population increasing
three times as fast as rural population
and production of food stuffs not near
ly keeping pace with increase In popu
lation, there is surely need to make
farm life more pleasant and farm ope
ration more profitable. The problem
Is one of National importance, for con
gestion of population in cities is a Na
tional evil. Upon country life we de
pend chiefly for the strength and vigor
of body, mind and moral character that
make a nation great.
"In the effort to halt the drift of men
and women toward the city, no public
undertaking will aid more than im
provement of highways, for good roads
destroy the isolation of country life,
improve market opportunities and de
crease the cost of hauling arm prod
ucts to town.
"To meet the situation, I have sug
gested a plan of Federal aid to good
roads, designed to unite the nation and
the several states in an expenditure of
$3,000,000,000 in 50 years for road con
struction and maintenance.
"This plan, if adopted, will make
American highways the . best roads in
the world, bring remote agricultural
lands within practical hauling distance
from railroads, materially raise the
value of farm property, enhance the
margin of profit on farm products,
vastly increase the average daily at
tendance at rural schools, make the
motor truck an economical vehicle for
American farmers, lighten the labors
of American horses, save wear and
tear on harness and wagons, and add
to the comfort and happiness of all
rural residents."
Copies of the suggested plan can be
secured by addressing Mr. Bourne at
the Senate Office building Washing
ton, D. C.

SUNDAY SPEAKING XOT AT
TEMPTED BY SOCIALISTS.
Imprisoned Rioters No Longer Cause
Trouble Leaders' Trial to
Be Held Today.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 15. (Spe
cial.) Contrary to expectations of local
officers, there was no attempt Sunday
on the part of Portland Socialists to
hold meetings or show other activity
in this city. Deputies and special police
were on hand in large numbers, but no
speakers appeared.
The 15 rioters held in the county Jail,
following the.r indictment by the
grand jury, for trial at the July term
of the Superior Court, have ceased
their disturbances and are now quiet
and peaceable. They have given Sheriff
Mass and his deputies no further
trouble since their attempt to burn the
prison. While the men are kept locked
in the cell-rooms constantly, they do
not seem to resent this treatment, and
courteously thank the deputies for lit
tle favors shown them.
Thomas Burns, J. D. Ransley, Albert
Jules and John Culver, Socialist street
speakers arrested here Wednesday
night, will be due to appear for trial
before City Recorder Stipp on Monday.
They are charged with disturbing the
peace and disorderly conduct.
Burns, who is a prominent Socialist
leader and who was the only one of
the quartet who actually mounted a
soapbox and spoke Wednesday night,
will plead that he was reciting the
Constitution of the United States when
he was dragged down by officers. The
city, on the other hand, will submit that
before the disturbance the four men
had been warned not to speak at all.
having been told that, while there was
no city ordinance against street speak
ing, that in view of the excitement in

WE INSURE AGAINST FUTURE REGRET
It is not for today only that you buy your piano. It is for
this year and next and the many years to follow. The
cheap, commercial piano, beautiful when new and highly
polished," may endure for this year, perhaps for another
year or two, but the moment it is bought your door is
open to future regret and disappointment.
It is by selling the pianos of manufacturers who have established reputations for high-class instruments,
by giving the best values possible at the price paid and guaranteeing your complete satisfaction in every
particular that we insure you against future regret.
Ours is a High-Class, not a High-Priced house, and investigation will prove that you safeguard your
own best interests, buy better and more economically here than elsewhere and on ' more reasonable
terms. ' V .
YOUR MONEY'S WORTH OR YOUR MONEY BACK

MORRISON STREET AT BROADWAY
organization similar to "The Rosar
ians," of Portland, has been formed. It
is composed of progressive men of tne
city, and they will see that no stone
is unturned to bring people to this city
from all parts of the state.
That the cherry carnival is second in
importance only to the Rose Festival
of Portland, has been proved by the
success of the exhibitions of the past,
and the prospect for a greater one this
year than ever before has aroused the
residents of this city and county to a
sense of public duty as never before.
Many carnival attractions will be in
evidence and the streets of the city dur
ing the fair will be suggestive of a
great exposition, with the usual side
features.

Something New
Called
Instant Postum
A delicious drink absolutely free from
the coffee drug, caffeine.
A level teaspoonful of Iustant Postum in an ordinary cup cf hot

A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things
put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate

COLUMBIA DROPS 2 INCHES
Mosquitoes on llayden Island Prom
ise to Bo Worse This Tear.
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 15. (Spe.
cial.) The cold weather has at last,
apparently, had its effect on the Co
lumbia River, which has dropped about
two inches, leaving it at about 24.1
feet. This drop is not rapid, but it is
preferable to a rise, as great damage
has been done to the lowlands in this
county below Vancouver. Crops on
many farms have been destroyed, dairy
cattle have been driven to higher
ground and people have been com
pelled o find new homes.
The mosquitoes on llayden Island
this year promise to be larger and in
greater number than ever before, as
the whole island is under water prac
tically, and when this goes down the
best mosquito-breedins: ground in tho
Pacific Northwest will be turning the
insects out by the billions.
