OREGON DELEGATION
JO SEE MR. DANIELS
Conference on Naval Base for
Astoria Arranged Presi
dent to Be Seen. Too.
SECRETARY TO HEAR PLEA
Senator Tillman Promises Sena
tor Chamberlain and F. C.
Harley "Wliite Treatment" If
Indorsement Is Gained.
ortEGOXIAX NEWS Bt'RKAV, Wash
ington; April 10. (Special.) F. C. Har
ley, chairman of the Astoria naval base
corp. milter, today arranged to have the
entire Oregon delegation go with him
on Wednesday to confer with Secre
tary Daniels about the Columbia River
naval bape and to urge a favorable
recommendation from the Navy De
partment. On Thursday Mr. Harley
expects to lay the project before Presi
dent Wilton.
This morning .Senator Chamberlain
and Mr. Harley had a further confer
ence with Senator Tillman,, chairman
of the naval committee, and were prom
ised a hearing as soon as a recommen
dation is made by the Navy Depart
ment, on which the hearing can be
based."
Recommendation Is lleuirel.
"You get the recommendation," said
Fenator Tillman to Mr. Harley. "and
we will treat you white."
The .Senator evinced much interest
in the Columbia Kiver proposition, but
pointeo. out that it would be essentia'
to have a recommendation from the
Navy Department before favorable ac
tion can be takn by Congress.
Drafting of the 1S17 naval appropria
tion bill with which the Administra
tion will launch its five-year increase
pj-ogramme, was undertaken today by
the appropriations sub-committee ot
the House naval committee.
It was determined at the outset to
leave the building programme to be
considered by the full committee. Vari
ous legislative provisions in the bill
were discussed and tentative agreement
was reached on a few items. The com
mittee decided, however, that no state
ment of its action should be made pub
lic until its report had been completed.
Chief May Be Mude Admiral.
The most important question consid
ered today related to the duties of the
chief of operations. "While final de
cision was not reached, the committee
men were inclined to write into the
law most of the powers conferred on
the office by departmental regulation.
Secretary Daniels has approved the
suggestion that the rank and pay of a
full Admiral be provided 'during the
tenure of office for any "official de
tailed as chief of operations. The law
would provide that the officer ranV
next to Admiral Dewey, the Admiral ot
the Navy being senior to the three fleet
Admirals. The committee is under
stood to have agreed upon this plan.
THIRD MESSAGK FORWAKDED
More Names of ' al-Base Advo
cates Are Added.
Another telegram, carrying an ur
gent appeal on behalf of the Astoria
naval base, went forward last night to
the members of the Oregon delegation
in Congress.
This is the third suc-n message that
has been sent in as many days. Each
telegram calls upon the Oregon Con
gressmen to support the Lane-Hawley
bills now pending in Congress, provid
ing for the establishment of a naval
base at the mouth of the Columbia.
Some of Portland's most representa
tive business men, representing vast
sums of invested capital, have joined
in the app'.l, and the committee in
charge 01 the movement feels greatly
encouraged.
"The urgency with which these busi
ness interests have impressed the Ore
gon delegation respecting their need
of protection," said "Wallace R. Strublc.
secretary of the naval base committee,
last night, "is felt to be mandatory
and has aroused the people of the Co
lumbia basin to a realization of their
own negligence in the Nation-wide
movement for protection of their homes
find property. The sentiments of the
Oregon business leaders so strongly
set forth must have its impression not
only on the Oregon delegation at
Washington, but upon the Administra
tion and Congress.
"Chairman F. C. Harley. of the naval
baee committee, who is actively on the
firing line at Washington, is being
constantly informed of every influence
being exerted in behalf of the Colum
bia naval base. The telegraphic in
formation being received daily from
him is of the most optimistic char
acter, and it is felt that the current
week at Washington will witness a
revolution in the official sentiment for
the protection of the Columbia River
as one of the essential gateways of the
N'atlon's western coast."

BE BUILT
Contracts for Proposed Port
land Yard Reported.
PRINCIPALS IN NEW YORK
Relief Is That Haniievig'& Johnson
Place Order for Two Steamers
AVorth $9 50,000 Each An
dersen Deal Declared Off.
Hannevig & Johnson, New York ship
brokers, are said to have awarded con
tracts for the construction of two mod
ern tramp steamers in Portland, to be
built at a yard to be established jointly
by the Northwest Steel Company and
the Willamette Jron and Steel Works,
adjoining the plant -of the former at
the foot of Sheridan street.
J. C. Bowles, head of the Northwest
Steel Company, and Bert C. Ball, presi
dent of the Willamette Iron and Steel
Works, have been in New York carry
ing on negotiations, and it was reported
here last week that the ships had been
closed for, but last night Walter C.
Beebe, vice-president of the Northwest
Steel Company, said he had not been
advised by Mr. Bowles whether the con
tracts had been executed.
Negotiations were originally on with
A. O. Andersen & Co.; of New York,
who, like Hannevig & Johnson, repre
sent Scandanavlan stockholders, and
the first proposal failed, following
which negotiations were renewed, but
last week were dropped a second time.
It is said $500,000 had been deposited
with a New York bank by Andersen
& Co. for the initial payment. Later
it was learned Hannevig &. Johnson
were negotiating.
Ways must be built, facilities pro
vided for erecting steel and other steps
taken before actual construction could
be begun, when it is expected there
will be work for hundreds of men. The
price of the steamers is understood to
be approximately $950,000 each, the
first to be delivered in a year and the
second a few months later.
Portland has gained another ad
vantage in the location here of the Pa
cific Coast agency of Andersen & Co.,
which has been opened in the Wilcox
building by G. M. McDowell, manager
here for W. R. Grace & Co.'s fleet until
April 1. F. K. Hitching, assistant man
ager of the New York house for the
Andersen interests, has reached the
city from San Francisco en route to
the East, after having spent several
months on the Coast, and he first
began negotiations for building steel
ships here. It was said yesterday that
the fact the company would not con
tract for ships at Portland at present
had not altered plans to continue this
Hjs the Coast headquarters, through

In Making
r
honest whole wheat flour, and malted barley are blended, made into dough, moulded into
loaves, and baked. The loaves are then sliced and baked a second time in all about
twenty hours of thorough baking.
Grape-Nuts possesses all the rich, nourishing elements of the grains, including the
vital mineral salts so necessary for vigorous -mental and physical activity. Many foods
lack these essential elements especially is this true of white bread and white flour
products, because in making flour white, most of the energizing mineral salts of the grain
are thrown out in the milling process.
With Grape-Nuts it-is different, for all the nutriment of the grain is retained,
the long baking renders the food easily and quickly digestible.
Always ready to serve direct from its sanitary, tight-sealed carton, Grape-Nuts is in
the form of granules of tender crispness that have a delicious, nut-like flavour. Four
teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with a little cream alongside is a splendid, well-balanced part
of any meal and gives a wonderful return in sturdy brain, nerve and muscle.
