personally, and. perhaps, make a few
informal remarks or tell a story. Mem
bers of the club have been asked each
to bring one guest. President Lciter
fsaid yesterday that women as well as
men will be admitted.
. A string of automobiles will be
formed outside the Elks' building some
time before 2 o'clock to carry the party
out the highway. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Hughes have expressed their desire to
eee the highway. They advised friends
in Spokane on Monday that they had
heard much of it. had seen it pictured,
and are extremely eager to see it in
reality.
Newspapermen Are Invited.
The newspapermen who are accom
panying Mr. Hughes on his transconti
nental tour aleo have been invited, to
make the Highway trip as guests of
the Chamber of Commerce. Their
tentative acceptance received by tele
graph yesterday from Seattle was con
tingent upon Mr. Hughes making the
trip. If Mr. Hughes is forced to de
cline it is probable that the news writ
ers, too, will stay in Portland. They
ore chargevl with the duty of keeping
close watch on the candidate.
The Chamber of Commerce commit
tee will urge upon the visitors the de
sirability of taking dinner at one of
the chalets along the Highway instead
of returning to town for dinner as at
present scheduled. The splendid view
tis seen from any of the hotels on the
high cliffs overhanging the Columbia
River will be impressed upon them as
an attraction. The excellence of the
chicken dinners will be another argu
ment if the other one fails. Moreover,
it will be pointed out, that no time will
Tie lost, inasmuch as it will be possible
to be back ir Portland soon after 6
o'clock., Thia.wiU. permit luU.tima for

PORT TAKES BOILER
Commission Buys Now for
Use Next Winter.
RUSH ORDER IS AVOIDED
New Tugboat Will Bo Built During
Coniins Year and Long Look
Ahead Is Necessary for
Machinery.
Even though the time of delivery Is
nine months hence, the Port of Fort
land Commission yesterday awarded
the Willamette Iron & Steel Works a
contract for building a firebox type
of boiler for a new towboat expected
to be built durlnir the coming year.
It being realized that such a rush of
work is on that speedier delivery could
not be arranged.
As It Is the Willamette is enlarg
ing its plant to meet the demands of
ruth business, a building being added
that will increase the floor space mate
rially. New equipment Is to be in
stalled, such as a traveling crane, of
20 tons capacity; big furnace, bending
rolls, drills and other gear. The com
pany Is to turn out the boilers for live
steamers to be built at the yard of
the Northwest oteel Company, each
vessel requiring three boilers.
The Commission yesterday discussed
the matter of a new towboat gener
ally, and It was estimated that by
Kali next year the vessel would be
redy, and by then It is hoped shipping
will have been restored. In Us bid
the Willamette Iron & Steel Works
agrees to deliver the boiler In May.
1917. and the Arm was the only one to
nle a tender. The price is S 1,4.000.
The matter of purchasing 1000 feet
of shore discharge pipe for the 30
inch dredges, which was taken up at
Thursday's session when bids were
opened, has apparently resolved itself
into competition between two Port
land firms that agreed to turn out a
section of pipe, each to be submitted
for Inspection.
Captain J. W. Shaver, vice-president,
who occupied the chair In the absence
of Commissioner R. L. Inman, favored
negotiations being opened with the
manufacturers of turbine enarlnea In
stalled aboard the dredge Tualatin, for
the purchase or certain duplicate parts,
and others of the board were agree
able to the move. It was reported at
the meeting- that the Tualatin had a
breakdown when working at Morgan's,
and she had been recalled to the dry-
dock for repairs. The dredge Willam
ette. which was at Reeder's, was
shifted to Morgan's, and the Tualatin
will be returned here in a few days.

Des Moines, Iowa. " Four years ago
I was very sick and my Ufa was nearly
spent. The doctors
stated that I would
never get well with
o u t an operation
and that without it
I would not live one
year. My husband
objected to any
operation and got
me some of Lydia E. 1
Pinkham's Vegeta.-'

it and commenced
to get better and am now well, am
stout and able to do my own housework. '
I can recommend the Vegetable Com
pound to any woman who is sick and
run down as a wonderful strength and
health restorer. My husband says I
would have been in my grave ere this
if it had not been for your Vegetable)
Compound.' Mrs. Blanche Jeffer-,

Before submitting to a surtrical ODera-'

merits with Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege

report steaming through an unusually
large number of Icebergs in the inside
passage, a short distance south or
Juneau.
Captain T. H. Cann, master of the
City of Seattle, said that the great
amount of Ice forced him to anchor
his vessel for a short time at Taku.
The blazing sun has caused the Taku
glacier to crumble away with great
rapidity, and bergs as large as otnee
buildings are adrift.
LINERS HAVE , LARGE CROWDS
Benchers Set Watches as Crack Tur-
blners Pass'Given Points.
With 301 passengers and 825 tons
of freight, the latter embracing canned
milk, burlap, box shooks and mill
products, the . liner Northern Pacific
sailed yesterday for San Francisco. The
Great Northern sailed from San Fran
cisco with 202 passengers and 1770 tons
of freight, consisting of steel plate
roofing, sugar, salt and general mer
chandise.
The regularity of the schedule on
which the ships are operating- has
given rise to a practice by denizens of
Tillamook beach, and. in fact, many
resorts along the Coast, to set their
timepieces by the passing of the twin
turbiners.
The passing of the Northern Pa
cific ounday, inbound, presented an in
teresting sight. The atmosphere at
sea was so clear that every detail
of the big white ship could he dis
cerned from beach resorts in Clatsop
County.
