the Panama Canal on the battleship
Oregon, at the head of the battle fleet
of-the Nation."
" The speaker. Josephus Daniels, Sec
retary of the Navy, stood beneath the
American flag on the .summit, of Tele
graph Hill, 400 feet above, and afford
ing a majestic panoramic view of the
harbor of Astoria, yesterday afternoon.
His words were greeted with cheers
by several hundred citizens of Astoria
and Portland, as a. guest of whom he
was shown the Lower Columbia and
the great harbor at its mouth.
Pacific to Share Nnj. -
"The whole world has its eyes on
the Pacific Coast, and it is nyr duty as
the Secretary of the Navy and my
pleasure as an American citizen to
look forward to the day when the
American Navy will have its home
equally In Pacific and Atlantic waters,"
said Mr. Daniels, and the cheers broke
forth again.
"The Panama Canal will be com
pleted in a few months," continued
Secretary Daniels, "and I do hot be
lieve that you people of Oregon, for all
your high hopes of what" it will mean
to you, realize its tremendous sig
nificance. I rejoice that I am an
optimist, and I believe that you are
aall- optimists, but for all your optimism,
perhaps you scarcely comprehend the
benefits that will be brought to your
country by the canal."
CoayreMmra May Follow.
Secretary Daniels said that on his
return to Washington, which will be
about August 4. he will ask the joint
Congressional committee on - naval af
fairs to send a committee to make the
same tour of the Pacific Coast that he
has made, and make the same observa-
. tlons.
"I talked the matter over with
Chairman Padgett before I started
West, and I consider it desirable that
the committee see the ports of the
Coast before the canal opens," he said.
Secretary Daniels paid a reverend
tribute to Thomas Jefferson, declaring
that in his opinion the greatest thing
that Jefferson did was the sending of
the Lewis and Clark exposition to the
Pacific Northwest.
"That was the test and proof of Jef
ferson's statemanshlp and the day
when Lewis and Clark made their camp
on Tongue's Point was one of the great
days of American history," he said.
Harbor View Impress.
Turning and taking in the view of
the harbor with a sweep of his arm.
Secretary Daniels declared that he was
glad to have been shown "this mag
nificent sight of a great harbor which
God Almighty made for our Navy and
for the commerce of the world."
Brief talks were made by the Rev.
W. 3. Gilbert, of Astoria, "fighting
chaplain" of the Third Oregon, who
introduced the speakers; Governor
West, who received an ovation when
he mounted the box that served as a
platform; Mayor Gray, of Astoria, who
expressed his pleasure at being able
to show Columbia harbor to the Sec
retary of the Navy; C. S. Jackson, per
sonal host to Secretary and Mrs. Dan
iels, who criticised the people of Ore
gon for using their opportunities as
a couch on which they "He down to
pleasant dreams," and Edgar B. Piper,
who declared that he had a new defi
nition of a pessimist.
Party Experience Recalled.
Mr. Piper referred to the oft-quoted
definition of an optimist as a man who
sees the doughnut and the. pessimist
the hole, and to the experience of Sec
retary and Mrs. Daniels in clamber
lng across a canyon by the light of
a burning bridge and the flare of a
wrecking train's headlight Sunday
night.
"Secretary Daniels saj's he is an
optimist. I say that the wife of an
optimist Is a pessimist, or has a right
to be. in view of that experience," said
Mr. Piper.
The speaking followed a salmon
barbecue on the summit of the hill, at
the Marconi wireless station, whose
powerful instrument desisted from its
raucous scratch-clacking during the
talks.
Salmon Feast Enjoyed.
Secretary Daniels declared that he
had never tasted anything so good as
the salmon, which was deliclously
roasted and smoking hot. This feature
of the entertainment was provided by
O. W. Taylor, who had just built
road to the summit of Telegraph Hill,
so that the automobiles climbed it
without difficulty.
Several of the speakers expressed
pleasure at the co-operation which had
arrived between Portland and Astoria,

known tramp saved the southbound
Shasta Limited from probable disaster
today by flagging it. just before it
reached a burning bridge near Oak

at high speed when the engineer saw
a fire on the track some distance ahead.
Alongside the track stood a man wav
ing a firebrand.
The train stopped and the man by
the track told the trainmen that a
bridge some distance ahead was on
fire. Proceeding slowly, the train ap
proached the bridge, which was at the
end of a long curve. It was badly dam
aged by the fire. Had the train struck
the bridge at the usual rate of speed,
the structure would have collapsed.
The train proceeded on its way after
some hours' delay.

DIPLOMAT TOLD TO REST
Conference Between Envoy, Presi
dent and Bryan Brings Out No
Statement of Policy as to
' Action by United States.
WASHINGTON, July 28. Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, summoned from
Mexico City to inform the Washington
Administration of conditions in the re
Demon-torn republic, talked for an
hour with President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan today, submitting chiefly
recommendation that the United
States use its influence to establish
the Huerta regime.
No policy was evolved, at least none
was announced, but it became known
that the President's ideas and those
of Ambassador Wilson as to the course
to be pursued are so radically different
that the Administration officials in
terpreted the day s developments as
forecasting the acceptance of Ambas
sador Wilson's resignation.
President Concerned as to Morality.
President Wilson and th- Ambassa
dor looked on the future Mexican sit
uation, it was learned, from opposite
viewpoints. The President is con
cerned over the morality of any policy
adopted by the United States and the
effect on other Latin-American coun
tries and is disinclined to strengthen
government that came into power
through the questionable events inci
dent to Madero's assassination.--, :.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa
tion, not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future. He
believes it 'is the business of gov
ernments to look to th future and
his suggestions have been in the di
rection -of extending recognition of the
Huerta government if it did certain
things to conserve American interests
The . inadvisabillty from a diplomatic
standpoint of maintaining In Mexico
City a representative who would not
be sympathetic with the purposes of
the Wilson Administration In Wash
ington is said practically to have, con-.
vlnced the President that the embassy
In Mexico City had better be conducted
for the present by Nelson O'Shaugh-

Both, are about 20 years old. Ewing's

SPURT COMES AS SURPRISE

Nearly All Crops Offered Figures
Attract Few Growers and
Majority Hold Supply.
The Oregon hop market has just
passed through, one of the most excit
ing periods it has ever known. Since
Saturday the price has made a sheer
jump of 2 cents a pound, accom
panied at what was at times furious
buying. New crop values have been
placed firmly at the 20-cent mark by
the operations Just closed.
There was much guess work as to the
quantity of hops that changed hands",
but local dealers estimate it at from
2500 to 3000 bales. Later in the sea
son this amount would not seem so
large. The market recently has been
quiet, however, and the sudden . spurt
has taken most of the traders una
wares. Washington Grower Sell.
The buying operations were, chiefly in
the Independence, Aurora, Salem and
Silverton districts, but offers were made
for the coming crop as far south as
Eugene. There was also some buy
ing in Washington at the prices estab
lished in this state.
At least six prominent hop-buying
firms were concerned in the purchases,
buying being done by Catlin & Linn.
Joseph Harris. E. C. Kirknatrlek.
Henry Conoyer, Dorcas Bros, and Browi.1

larger part of the purchases, probably
90 per cent, were for the account of
one firm, T. A. Livesley & Co., of Sa
lem. '
Saturday the market stood at 17fi
17 cents, several hundred bales hav
ing been signed up on contract at these
prices. Then, without warning, Mr.
Llvesley's agents appeared in the coun
try and began bidding up the price.
Price Take Bis; Jump.
A few crops were secured at 18 and
184 cents and then the price was
jumped to 20 cents flat, outright bids
being made to a number of growers in
different districts. Even this price
did not appear tempting to the major
ity of growers, as not to exceed 3000
could be obtained. Of the total probably
1000 bales were sold to the Salem firm by
other dealers, who considered it the
time to take a handsome profit.
The market for new crop hops has
been firm for several months, as there
has been a possibility of a partial crop
failure in Europe, which, witt the de
pleted state of reserves in this coun
try, would mean a high market,
Kuropean Crops Good.
The cables received yesterday, how
ever, offered no warrant for the bulge
that has taken place in this state. All
the news from England and Germany
was of better weather conditions, al
though the markets there were strong.
One London cable estimated the Eng
lish hop crop at last year's figures and
a German cable placed the Continental
yield at 30 per cent less than the
bumper crop of 1912. Without support
from foreign sources, it was presumed
that the buying In this state was solely
fn the nature of covering sales pre
viously made to Eastern brewers. Tha
Bales are understood to have been made
at lower prices than the current quo

Large Crop Contracted.
The largest sale reported to have
been made by a grower at 20 cents was
that of Frank Matoma, of Indepen
dence, who contracted to deliver 100,000
pounds of the new crop. Tull, of Au
