According to the story here. Oregon
Intervals prefer to remain In the sone
with California, one reason being that
if the division la carried out as planned
and In support of walcb a bill Is now
pending before Congress. Seattle will
ba made tbe headquarters of the
Northern district aad In all probability
tha supervising inspector there would
bo a I'ugst bound man. All of which
would make no difference. In the Jud- I COLON'EL

any means.
On a recent visit to Portland of Dr.
K. Lester Jones, superintendent of the
United States Coast and Geodetle Sur
vey, who met with commercial Inter
eats In an effort to enlist their support
for a bill to provide funds for new
ships for the use of the service on the
Pacific side and more money for bet
terments, he said Secretary Ked field
had requested him to apeak of tbe
propoeed division of the steamboat In

oa the ground the present territory Is
too large tor one executive to cover
properly at all times.
Tbe organisation of the service Is
such that there are Inspectors and aa
sietante In each state who are held re
sponsible for conditions there. Any
objection to ther rulings or decisions
raa be taken up with the supervising
Inspector, aad In turn with the super
vising Inspector-general at Washing
ton. who. at present, is George Lhler.
A change In the Western district has
been tried unsuccessfully before, but
this time It Is believed Congress will
order a division, Whether the pro
gramme will be strenuously objected
to here Is not known.

The essays already had gone through
a preliminary "weeding out" In the
schools before they were sent to Super
intendent Alderman. It Is estimated
that in all between 8000 and 7000
essays were submitted In the contest,
to say nothing of the thousands of chil
dren interested who never got to the
stage of submitting a finished manu
script. The Judges will be D. R. Alderman, S.
M, Mears. C. C. Colt. F. W. Mulkey
and R. D. Barnes. Owing to the great
volume of manuscripts, a sub-committee
may give the essays still another
"once over" before they come to the
final corps of Judges.
