A marvelous rechristening was given the famous old river boat T. J. Potter yesterday, when It glided away from the Ash-street dock as the good ship Happiness. No champagne was broken over its bows at the rechrlstenlng, but It was splashed all over with undiluted Joy and fairly radiant from bow to etern with the genial sunshine of chil iron's smiles. For this was the annual excursion on the river given to the children who are vi ards of various institutions of Port land by the O.-W. R. & N, and the good Bhlp Happiness was freighted with nearly 600 boys and girls to say noth Ing of scores of happy mothers and more than a wagonload of round-eyed gurgling babies, whose vocabulary for expressing delight had not progressed ceyond the rudimentary "Da-da" and "Ooo." Officials Bask In Sunshine C. G. Sutherlln was supposed to be the grand vizier of all the faithful genii of the O.-W. R. & N., who had provided the ship of "Happiness" for the day's delight. But when the boat was receiving its cargo of youngsters and making ready for the trip, the whole dock was per vaded by the benevolent presence of Innumerable of the company's genii, who were not to go on the trip at all, but who simply couldn't bear to miss the opportunity of getting all they could of the sunburst of Joy that they had conjured up. Harrlntan Club Tarns Oat. There was William McMurray, gen eral passenger agent, and there was R. H. Atkinson, city passenger agent, who took the party of children out on last year's excursion; and there was E. li. Budd, the benevolent superintendent of the water lines of the company; and there was a big proportion of the men of the Harrlman Club, assembled at the dock to see that the children got off in proper style. And to the clairvoy ant eye, it appeared indeed that the chest of everyone of them bulged per ceptibly over the fine enlargement that crept into their hearts as they smiled on the Joyful crowds of children. There was no distinction as to race or color in the assembly on board the boat. They were simply the Incarna tion of ail that is happy in childhood, and in the broadness of their smiles there was little to choose between a platoon of shining pickaninnies, or a group of bright eyed little Japanese, or yet the khaki dressed Sons of the Indian War Veterans who were there) mo urum- corps to iurnisn their bare of the excitement of the day. Chaperonage Is Provided. Nearly a dozen different organiza tions were represented by the children who had been sent to enjoy the excur sion. A large committee of young women from the Harrlman Club were on board to help the nurses or chap erones that had been sent along with the various groups of children and the company sent also its nurse, Mrs. Jennie Dahl and a member of its staff of physicians to look out for the wel fare of the little ones. Amid the uproar of voices of chil dren racing and whooping all over the big craft. Captain George F. Campbell finally gave the signal: "All aboard!" Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Don't go until all your passengers are on board." shouted Mr. Budd. Flying to the head of the gang plank came half a dozen nurses from the Albertina Kerr Nursery Home, each lugging two round-eyed and in tensely interested looking babies. Inevitable Photographer Preseat. "Hi! Just a minute!" yelled a news paper photographer who had. been snapping around the boat preliminary to the departure. The nurses stopped on the gang plank. The men ail about grinned de lightedly: the nurses grinned over the heads of the babies proudly; the moth ers and children on board the boat grinned sympathetically; the babies grinned comprehensively, and in a mo ment they were impressed on a plate as one of the eternal records of the events of the great trip. Then the good ship Happiness sailed elowly away down the river, its rails fringed with a veritable flower garden of smiling faces, and the boys' drum corps clustered on the upper deck drumming away with a brave uproar that added volume to the joyful noise which accompanied the good ship's departure. Ship Trembles With Joyons Clamor. Away down the Willamette and Into the Columbia for a short distance sailed the boat before it turned to retrace its course to Portland. And going and com ing there was never a moment that h was not fairly trembling in every tim ber wun tne ceieoratlon of the chil dren. Great tables were spread below, piled up with sandwiches and oranges and lemonade-filled glasses and other dain ties. The steward and his committee pilot ed the 600 children through this hail of sweets quick as shelling peas, and every youngster emerged loaded down with edible plunder. On the way tip there was popcorn for everybody popcorn with fans attached to the pack ages, and tin horns that made a de lightful racket. Qneea Thelma Attends. Thelma Hollingsworth, former queen of the Rose Festival, headed the com mittee from the Harrlman Club. Other members of the committee were Mr Sutherland, chairman; Miss a Z. Rllea, Miss Grace Baird, Miss Margaret Casey, Mrs. Jennie Dahl, Mrs. Theresa Depue, Mi S3 Katherlne Driscoll, Miss Frances .Howard. Miss Amy Klum, Miss Lena Kreiger, Miss Marie Landry, Miss Blanche Luckey, Miss Marjorie McKin non, Miss Gertrude Thronson, Mrs. Nora White. J. C. Albright, G. E. Moore, Miss M. Cameron and Miss H Koppe. At the end of the day the children were taken to the Star Theater to wit ness the motion picture show, as guests of Sol Baum.

MINIMUM OF $1.06 IS SET Railroad TTrges Deal Because of Fire Danger and Depreciation Gov ernment Accedes Over Mr. Lafferty's Protest. The timber on 4000 acres of Oregon & California grant land in Columbia County, amounting to 181,000.000 feet, will be offered at public sale, after six weeks' advertising, but will not be sold for less than $1.06 a thousand feet, according to the terms of a decision rendered yesterday in the United States District Court by Judge Wol verton. Terms for bids are to be set forth by a later order of the court, but Judge Wolverton yesterday stipulated that not less than $30,000 cash should be paid by the successful bidder. The price of the timber, at the minimum would be $191,880. The buyer is to as sume all fire risks and is to pay 6 per cent interest on deferred payments after 1916. The money is to be placed in a Government depository and Is to draw interest until the Government's suit to recover the entire land grant from the Oregon & California Railroad Company is settled by the United States Supreme Court, which will de termine whether the Government or the railroad company is to receive the money. Judge Wolverton's decision and or der came as the result of the petition of the railroad company to sell to the Nehalem Timber & Logging Company the timber in question, which is locat ed on quarter-sections alternating with those from which the timber .las been cut already by the same company. It was urged that the timber was matured, that it was in danger of fire by reason of being checkered with quarter-sections of cut-over land, and that with the withdrawal of spurs built into it by the logging company its value would be depreciated.

Although corn at first rose sharply, owing to reports of damage from drouth and hest. the market later underwent a decided set back. Oats tumbled with corn.

SCOTT WATER AMPLE With Better Facilities, Xovr, MII- wankie Appeal May Be Heeded. That the water pressure of the Mount Scott district is ample since the completion of a 24-Inch trunk main and that the supplying of the town of Mllwaukle can be taken care of at a cost of about $1800 Is the opinion of Water Engineer Clarke, expressed In a communication sent to Commissioner Daly yesterday. Mllwaukle has been desirous of getting Bull Run water for some time but because of the low pressure In parts of Portland near Mllwaukle the city has been unable to meet the de mand. The new 24-Inch main has aug mented the supply to such a point that there is now a large surplus. Rockpile Escape Trial Today. The trial of F. A. McCoy, charged with the larceny of a motorcycle, will be heard this morning in Circuit Judge Morrow's court.

"e' "ii'i iwo in in ofttce PfDttrtm.nt nvi that If aaron-l ' lass mall shall be required to pay tha cost ot transportation, not only will 1-ient letter postage be mad possible thereby, but that the entire postal serv ice will be Improved. Has any voter been told anything about this situation by a dally news liaper? Ha has not. On page :. the editorial pax. ef the Saturday Evening Post for March t, 1914. appears this statement: "It is pretty definitely settled that we shall grant no more ship subsidies The notion of taxing the public for the benefit of ANY special interest no longer appeals." Yet the Curtis Publishing Companv. which owns the Saturday Evening Post, receives a mall subsidy amounting to more than $4,000,000 a year. These are the figures of the Postofflce Depart ment. That sura represents twice the amount Involved In the question of "free tolls" at Panama, over which the entire Nation has been stirred for months. The total amount of tolls on coastwise vessels at Panama will he less than $2,000,000 annually, while we are donating each year to tha Curtis Publishing Company alone mora than $4,000,000 In mall subsidy. Half your letter postage Is a tax to pay for carrying at less than cost the merchandise of corporations publish ing magazines and dally newspapers. I favor requiring all mall to pay cost of transportation, and no more, when we do that we shall havo 1-cent letter postage. Now as to the "Congressional Frank." I have used that frank more than most Congressmen, and I have sent out less than four tons of mail a year. The "Journal" and the "Oregonlan" send out by mall over a ton each per day. The "Journal" admitted editorially August 28. 1912. that It malls BO ton. a month Those two papers will average 600 tons eacn by mall per year. They pay the Government onlv 1 cant a nnunri or $20 per ton. The Government loses on the 1200 tons It transports annually for the "Oregonlan" and the "Journal" at least $4 per ton, or $4S,0u0. The Oregonlan n making- a uuaiter of u million clear a year and tha Journal la making almost as much. Yet thesa papers yelp because I send out four tons or tne people s mall per year which Is carried free, while they sand out K'nii tons per year of their urlvatc merchan dise, which la carried four-fifths free. ine garden seeds which I sent nut were the property of the people them selves. Each Congressman Is allotted 22.000 packages. I have sent nut 6" .nun packages annually, because I paid for the addressing or 30,000 extra franks each year, and had them on deposit with the Agricultural department on ixyiii i, me unv me regular uistriou tlon closes. The rule la that sll seeds left over will lie sent out under the direction of the Secretary of Agricul ture, and by taking my chances and having the extra franks addressed and on hand I have received for my district .lo.woo extra packages each year, lie cause I went to this extrs trouble, ex tra work and personal expense 1 nave been criticised for "sending out too many seeds." As to the speeches I have sent out. I paid for the printing ot nil of them out of my personal funds. The Govern ment Printing Office will not print a speech for a Congressman unless ha puts up a check In advance against hi salary account for the cost of same. My account for printing at the Gov ernment Printing Office the first year I was in Congress, and the cost of ad dressing the speeches out to the people of Oregon, was $3700, or a little more than half my salary. I sent speeches on the railroad land grant to each voter In Oregon, whether In my Con gressional District or not. 1 waamsk ing a fight to win. That la tha kind of a fight I shall continue to make.
