Invitations will be sent to the Gov ernors and all commercial organiza tions of cities and boards of County Commissioners of. the states of Ore gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and North and South Dakota. First-class Base Desired. Referring to the vigorous movement now gathering momentum for an ade quate naval base at Astoria, Mr. Struble said yesterday: "We feel that the campaign for pro--tectlon of the Columbia- River must be one of pitiless publicity, because the military and naval programme of the country have already been agreed upon. In these it is proposed to make Astoria a mere submarine and scout cruiser base. That the Columbia River be protected by nothing less than a first-class naval base is our request." It is expected that Portland will send a larsce delegation, while Astoria al ready has assured the attendance of a considerable number of delegates. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule.

Depart ment of Agriculture, entitled "Habit-Forming Agents," refer ring to caffeine and other ingre dients used in the manufacture of certain soft drinks, headache mixtures, etc., says: "Until recently it was claimed by some that these agents were harm less and did not belong to the habit forming group. Later investigations, however, clearly show that this posi tion is unwarranted." The average cup of coffee contains about 2Y2 grains of caffeine. Mothers give it to their children and wives give it to their husb.ands unconscious of the harm coffee does to health. When the nerves cry out, or indigestion, biliousness, headache or heart flutter begin to trouble, it's time to look to the cause. An easy, sure way out of coffee troubles is to quit the coffee, and use POSTUM 'i the pure cereal food-drink. There are two forms of Postum. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum is quickly solub'e in hot water, more convenient to pre pare, and has the same rich flavour as the original Postum. Some prefer one form, some the other; both are free from the habit-forming drug, caffeine, or any other harmful substance, and the cost per cup is about the same. "There's a Reason" for POSTUM Fral.

Elizabethan Theater Will Be Erected In Gymnasium for Presentation of Twelfth Night. " Although Shakespeare has been dead 300 years, he might think that times do not change much If he should happen to walk In on the production of his play, "Twelfth Nigrht," which is to be friven by the Reed College Dramatic Club on the evenina- of April LA, and the afternoon and evening of April 15. The students are planning to produce the drama in real Shakespearean style by remodeling the college gymnasium into an Elizabethan theater. The stag-e will be erected In the west end of the buildingr. and its dimensions will follow those of the reconstructed plan of the ancient stasre as given by Albright, a noted authority on the Klizabethan theater. The lower stage will be a rush-strewn platform extend ing 40 feet from the rear wall, and above it will rise a smaller, 'balcony like stage, crowned by a little box-like haloony from whence the herald blows three blasts of the trumpet to announce that the play is about to begin. There will be no scenery, curtain, or proscenium, arch, for there were none In Shakespeare's day. The actors will be forced to convey the impression of a scene to the .audience by their acting, aided perhaps, by a little placard stating whether it is the Duke's palace or Olivia's house. As there will be no scene shifting the acting will continue from beginning to end without waiting for "five minutes between acts." DAILY METEOROLOGICAL' REPORT. PORTLAND. March 1 3.
