She can not only raise an army of 300,00 men. but can equip it with arms and maintain it in the field. If any day the United States, to which we owe so great a debt of gratitude, goes to war. the army will be at her disposaL" ' General Castillo declared that the people of Porto Rico are not dissatis fied with their preesnt relations with the United States and would be glad to be admitted to the Union as a state, but would be made still happier to be made an independent republic. or Haiti, the Cuban General ex pressed the hope that the United States will not only establish a stable government there but will clean up the country and establish modern in stitutions as it did in Cuba, and leave it strong and independent.

GETTING TO BE AN UNCOMFORTABLE HOBBY. j Ft& r!fc Jjlilr j I FIRE PRECAUTION RENEWED Dry Weather Causes Apprehension in Forestry Office. Although no fires were reported to the forestry officials of this district yesterday, all officials of public and private fire protection agencies are taking unusual precautions during the continued dry weather. A low humidity that has been no ticed in this region for the last few days admits of the rapid drying of vegetation and the dangers of fire are becoming greater daily. As a result of the dry weather fewer fire permits will be issued, so that the dangers of fire will be reduced to the minimum. Hunters especially are re quested to take the greatest precau tions in the matter of building fires- CLIMBER KILLED ON RAINIER Boston Tourist Plunges Over Cliff on Mountain Xear Tacoma. TACOMA, Aug. 20. While climbing to Gibraltar Rock on Mount Rainier, with a party of Eastern tourists last night, G. F. Ordway, of Boston, plunged to death down a canyon. Mrs. Ordway saw her husband's body go crashing down the cliff. Ordway s body was recovered by members of the party. Although 23,000 tourists have regis tered at the National Park this sea son, this is the first accident of the kind since 1912. when a young woman fell from Pinnacle Peak.

E. MAHONEI. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.) Ample funds for the completion of the improvement project at the en trance to the Columbia River will be forthcoming at the next session of Con gress if Judge Sparkman. chairman of the House committee, that today in spected the scene of operations, has his way about it. "I am fully satisfied with the show ing made and the Information received on this trip has thoroughly convinced me of its importance," he raid. Oth ers of the committee were equally as favorable, though only limited time was available to explain to them in detail the actual progress made. Support Is Indicated. An approximate estimate furnished Representative Sparkman was that 32.400,000 would be required to finish the north Jetty and it was felt from his observations and comment on the headway gained that all reasonable support would be given from Washington. Standing well forward on the bow of the torpedo-boat Fox, in fact al most as far toward the stem as the party could And room. Judge Spark man studied oharts of the river's en trance and" almost 'as rapidly as one of the guns alongside of him could be operated he fired questions at Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers. U. S. A.: G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer or tne Commission of Publio Docks, who was formerly In charge of operations on the south Jetty when with the Gov ernment engineers, and E. W. Wright. manager of the. Port of Portland, who has to do with the operation of tugs in handling ships to and from the river. Knowledge of Work Apparent. Questions asked by the chairman of the committee impressed those about him with the fact he had studied the character of the work under way and obstacles that had been surmounted. Besides obtaining a first-hand view of the ground Judge Sparkman said he appreciated the fact that he was able to procure direct information irom men having such a thprough knowl edge of what was required. On the train wnen en route from Portland he spent much of the time with the same men in ascertaining the amount of commerce on the river, the area of Portland's harbor, river conditions as to the channel and a mass of such data. Information Is Gratifying. But the main topic was devoted to the entrance and Judge Sparkman ex pressed himself as particularly pleased to learn that the bar was under absoi lute control through the changes brought about by the Jetties and work of the dredge Chinook, also that the bar had no longer moved seaward, as he had been led to believe, but In fact was shorter than before, as the move ment of sand Inside was deepening to ward the bar. The results attained this season by dredging, in that the cut being made by the Chinook was increased from a depth of 26 feet in April to 36 feet on soundings made the latter part of July, were surprising to the chairman. Federal Engineers tn Party. In the party from Portland, which was arranged by the Chamber of Com merce, were Colonel Potter and Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers. U. S. A- in charge of the improvements from Port land to the sea, and they were kept busy answering questions of the vis itors. Robert Warrack, Inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, was called on for information dealing with aids to navigation and how progress In the bar work had prompted the bureau of lighthouses to install one of the finest- lighting systems in use .anywhere in the United States. United States Senators Lane and Cham berlain, with Representatives Hawley and McArthur. did their share toward showing the value of commerce In the river and the demand for the project being completed. The matter of constructing a special ( dredge for the entrance, to be used after the completion of the north jetty, was taken up wUh Judge Sparkman, but he did not express himself on that feature at length, advising tbat the proper way to obtain attention at Washington for that waa to have it In cluded in recommendations from the district engineer.
