MOO APPEALS !
BEHALF OF
Nebraska Conservationists
Told Loan Not One-Fiftieth
of Possible Indemnity.
BILLIONS WILL BE SPENT
New York Banks Report Subscrip
tions Coming In Rapidly, With
-Prospect of Exceeding Mlni-
mum of $555,000,000.
OMAHA. Neb., May 24. Nine Na
tional banks of Omaha thia afternoon
decided to double their subscriptions
to the liberty loan and to take $4,000,
000 worth of the bonds instead of the
J2.000.000 for which they had formerly
subscribed. The increased subscrip
tions were made after Secretary Mc
Adoo had had a heart-to-heart talk
with them.
Secretary McAdoo this afternoon ad
dressed the Nebraska State Conserva
tion Congress, and at the close five
sixths of the 3000 in the audience
raised their hands in agreement to
buy at least one liberty bond and as
many more as they could afford to
purchase.
In part Mr. McAdoo said:
"This Government faces, if defeated,
an indemnity 50 times to 100 times as
jrreat as we will have to pay to win
this war.
"The first defense of war is money.
And for that reason your Government
has issued $5,000,000,000 worth of lib
erty bonds, which must be subscribed
for by the people of this country. These
bonds will not be sold unless every
man and woman in your country takes
part. Kveryone must buy at least one
bond, and as many more as possible.
The continuation of your country's
National existence depends upon the
anccess of the sale of these bonds.
"And that we are asking that $1,
800.000,000 be provided by taxation. We
believe $10,000,000,000 is the total .we
will have to raise before this war is
over. Tou, as producers, are just as
much interested as anybody in the
country.
"Do you know what it means to you
to have $10,000,000,000 spent in this
country in one year? It means the
greatest purchasing campaign this
world ever saw; it means the greatest
demand for what you people of the
Kreat trans-Missouri country produce
that you ever dreamed of. It means
that your market is secure and that
' the man to whom you are selling has
the money with which to pay for what
he buys."
SAN FRANCISCO. May 24. "For my
part, I am willing to give up any
thing I have for freedom."
A. C. Kains, governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank for the Twelfth dis
trict, wrote half a column of explana
tions about liberty loan bonds here to
day, and then burst over the barriers
of financial theory in his final sen
tence, with this declaration of tis per
sonal position.
Two dollars down and $1 a day will
buy a $100 bond. These bonds, when
Issued, will be listed as are other Gov
ernment securities on the stock ex
changes of the world, local bankers
said today. That means, it was ex
plained, that in event of illness or
other emergency the bonds will be
readily convertible into cash. Bonds
sold to finance the Spanish-American
War went to notable premiums, the
liberty loan committee announced.
The deposits required in the purchase
of bonds in denomination of $100 or
over, as announced today are: $2 on
application. $18 June 28; $20, July 30;
$30, August 15; $30, August 30.
NEW YORK, May 24. Subscriptions
already received have reached such a
vast total that they are pouring into
banks and other agencies in such a
steady stream that predictions were
made in the financial district today
that the liberty loan would be over
subscribed. While definite figures are not avail
able as to whether New York State has
reached in actual subscriptions the
minimum of $555,000,000 set by the
Treasury Department, financiers today
predicted that the subscriptions of the
New York Federal reserve district will
aggregate $1,000,000,000.
Subscriptions taken in New York
department stores aggregate $1,000,-
000. the retail drygoods merchants'
committee announced today.
NEW YORK. May 24. Alfred H.
Smith, president of the New York
Central Railroad, and chairman of the
railroad liberty loan committee, has
sent an appeal to the presidents of all
railroads in the country, it was learned
today, urging them to co-operate with
their employes in aiding them to buy
liberty loan bonds.
"LIBERTY OR IXDE.MXITY CHOICE
Senator Phelan Says All Should Use
Weapon Nearest at Hand.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. Citizens
averse to subscribing for interest-bear
ing liberty loan bonds may well con
eider how they would enjoy buying a
few bonds later on to pay an indemnity
to a foreign power. Senator James D.
Pheian telegraphed today from Wash
ington.
we are fighting for our liberty." the
telegram said. "Everyone should cheer
fully take up the weapon nearest his
hand. The liberty bond is such
weapon.
"Unless we win this war, California
will be paying tribute to the enemy
ten thousand fold within six months
after its close, and the cause of liberty
and Justice throughout the world will
have received a staggering blow."

NEW YARD PLANNED
Milwaukie Plant Proposed
Port Will Dredge Bars.
if
TWO SPOTS ARE SHALLOW
Site .Made Famous by Building of
Lot Whitcomb In 1850 Under Op
tion and Three or Four Ways
Proposed for Construction.
It is not improbable the 67th anni
versary of the launching of the pioneer
steamer Lot Whitconib. at Milwaukie,
which was Christmas day, 1860, may
mark a second launching there, as a
shipyard is proposed to be erected on
the same site and extending to take in
the Gratton property, if two bars in
the vicinity of the Oaks are dredged
so a 15-foot channel is provided.
J. R, Kelso, of Milwaukie, was here
yesterday circulating a petition, which
will be filed with the Port of Portland
Commission, asking that one of its
dredges be assigned to the task. Prop
erty owners and steamboat men from
Oregon City to Portland have affixed
their signatures, and Mr. Kelso says
as soon as the desired number of names
is obtained the instrument will be
filed.
Two Spots Are Shallow.
The present channel improvement
project between Portland and Oregon
City, an fostered by the United States
engineers, provides for a depth of six
feet, being intended solely as a road
for river vessels. Mr. Kelso says there
is abundant depth for floating the hull
of a wooden deep-water vessel except
at the Oaks and at a point a short dis
tance below. He declares all prelim
inaries regarding the shipyard site
have been attended to, papers having
been drawn and such, details, and the
execution of the instruments hinges on
whether the Port of Portland will agree
to undertake the dredging.
The property involved extends from
the old mill through the Gratton
holdings, having a river frontage of
1500 feet and a width ranging from
150 to 400 feet, tho rear line being
marked by Front street. Three
or four ways are to be built, being
laid diagonally with the river so as to
give the vessels a run down stream.
Off the property, Mr. Kelso says, there
is 60 to 90 feet of water, and with a
natural sloping beach it is rated ideal
for the purpose.
Lot Whllcomb Historical.
The Lot Whitcomb. named in honor
of the founder of Milwaukie, was the
second steamer built on the river, the
first having been the Columbia. She
was a sidewheeler-160 feet long, with
a 24-foot beam and 5.8 feet depth of
hold. Her machinery was from New
Orleans and originally intended for a
Sacramento River vessel, but on reach
ing California it was purchased for
he Whitcomb and Jacob Kamm came
from California to Oregon to install
the machinery, being paid $400 a month
or the work and he then ran on the
Whitcomb as engineer.
Captain J. C. Ainsworth, who had mi
grated from St. Louis to the Sacra
mento, was employed to navigate the
Whitcomb at $300 a month, and, as
he had $2000 in wages due before she
was readv for the first trip, he was
given stock for the amount. ' The ves
sel was placed in the Astoria service,
making two trips a week, and at times
owed ships on the river, being sold
in 1854 and taken to San Francisco,
there being named the Annie Aber
nethy. CAPTAIN MAGEE IS INSPECTOR
Construction of Wooden Ships for
Government to Be Supervised.
MARSHFIELD. Or., May 24. (Spe
cial.) Captain Will Magee has been
engaged by the United States Govern
ment as inspector of the wooden ves
sels to be constructed on the Pacific
Coast, and will have either the district
of Washington and Oregon, or Cali
fornia.
Captain Magee is a young man.
reared on Coos Bay, and was for sev
eral years, and at the time of his se
lection, in the employ of the C. A.
Smith Company. He was master of
the Redondo and Nann Smith, and be
fore going to the Smith Company op
erated the Simpson tugs on Coos Bay
for a number of years.
In 1915 he made several trips to
South America, and in 1916 went to
the Orient with the Nann Smith to de
liver a cargo for the Russians.
Captain Magee will reside in Port
land if he has the northern district.
COLUMBIA CITY GOES AHEAD
Shipbuilding Establishments Add Ira-
petns to Growth.
Columbia City, Just below St. Helens,
is attracting more Intending shipbuild
ers since the recent sale of a site there
to Somarstrom Brothers, of Oakland
Cal., says E. C. GUtner, who holds prop
erty there and acted in negotiations
with the Somarstrom interests. An op
tion on another site at the lower end
of Columbia City expired this week and
the property has been taken on a lease
by Portlanders, who are withholding
their plans.
Mr. Giltner says no additional tracts
have been taken, although two firms
are seriously considering sites there.
The depth of water and natural slope of
the beach are features appealing to
those planning wooden shipyards and
the location permits lumber being
drawn from mills at several points on
the river.
HOISER OFF TO -WASHINGTON
Portland Exporter to Confer "With
Grain Commission.
M. H. Houser, prominent grain ex
porter and financier, recently named by
Secretary Houston, of the Department
of Agriculture, as a member of a Na
tional commission to assist in the pro
duction. conservation and general dis
trlbutlon of grain, has left Portland for
Washington, D. C, to confer with the
commission.
It is said wheat is being; rapidly
cleaned up in the Northwest and for
warded to tbe allies and the natural
inference is that the main purpose in
bringing the National grain body to
gether is to decide on preliminary
moves as to the 1917 crop.

that being the highest of the uptown
West Side docks, tho lower dock was

a stage of 17 feet, attaining 17.4 feet
