THE 3IORXIXCI CiiJ2GOXIAX. FKIBAT, JULY 27 , 1917.
RIVERS, HARBORS
BILL IS PASSED
Senate Approves $27,954,000
Measure, With 11 Mem-
bers Dissenting.
BITTER DEBATE ENDS
Opposition Holds "Pork Barrel" Leg
islation. Inexcusable In War
Time Most Amendments Of-
fered Are Voted Down.
WASHINGTON, . July 2S. Carrying
ttn appropriation of $27,954,000, the an
nual rivers and harbors bill was passed
by the Senate late today, 50 to 11.
Although many Senators had at
tacked the measure as pork barrel leg
islation of a kind inexcusable in war
time, the only negative votes on the
final rolleall were cast by Senators
Uorah, Brady, Kenyon, La Follette,
timith of Michigan and Smoot, Republi
cans, and Ashurst, Gore, King, I'om
erene and Shafroth, Democrats:
The measure, which passed the House
June 27, now goes to conference. As
passed by the Senate, it authorizes the
Government to enter into negotiations
for acquisition of the Cape Cod and the
Chesapeake and Delaware canals and
provides for the establishment of a
Federal "Waterways Commission con
sisting of seven members appointed by
the President. The Cape Cod canal
and waterways commissions provisions
were not in the House bill.
Hill Debated Four Days.
The bill was passed after four days
of debate, most or the time being oc
cupied by opponents of the measure.
Senator Kenyon led the attack, but his
motion to substitute a lump appropria
tion of $16,000,000 was rejected, 45 to
17. Senator King branded the system
of making waterways appropriations as
"iniquitious beyond expression." and
Senator Borah, pleaded for conserva
tion of financial resources for use in
conducting the war.
Numerous amendments introduced
principally by tho bill's opponents in
an effort to limit its provisions Were
rejected shortly before the final vote
was taken. Senator Kenyon's amend
ment providing that no appropriation
could be expended unless the President
should designate that it was a public
necessity was voted down, 36 to 26.
Commission la Created.
"Without a record vote the Senate
rejected Senator Shafroth's amend
ment providing- that no appropriation
should be available except in the event
that states, counties, cities and cor
porations affected by tho project
should pay one-third of the amount ap
propriated. The waterways commission amend
ment was a committee proposal. It
provides that at least one member
shall be an Army engineer and one an
expert hydraulic engineer. The com
mission would make a study of the
development and control of waterways
and water resources. Karh member
will receive a salary of $7500 a year.
Minor amendments adopted included
one permitting Alinnescaa and North
and South Dakota to enter into agree
ments to drain the reclaimed lands and
control floods along the Red and Min
nesota Rivers, and authorizing the
Secretary of War to make regulations
for any navigable territory endan
gered by coast artillery fire.
CHANNEL SURVEY IS ORDERED
Engineers to Report on Project for
35-Foot Deptli to Sea.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 26. The Senate today
adopted Senator McNary's amendment
to the river and harbor bill authoriz
ing the Army engineers to make a sur
vey of the Willamette and Columbia
Rivers below Portland to determine
the cost of dredging and maintaining
a 35-foot channel from Portland to the
sea.
Incident to the survey, the engi
neers will outline a new project and
will pass opinion on the desirability of
adding five feet to the prevailing chan
nel depth. A favorable report from
the engineers would pave the way for
the adoption of a 35-foot project, but
tintil a favorable report is submitted
no such project can be authorized by
Congress.
Man Licensed to Wed Asks
Return of His $3.
"Xo Chance" for Girl to Change
Her Minn, Sayn Vonth Uhri Fos
Miblltty Is Suggested.
QJAT, can I get my three dollars back
O if I return this license?" Inquired
a young man yesterday as he sidled up
to "Assistant Cupid" Tom Mahoney at
the marriage license bureau. "I haven't
any use for it any more."
Francis J. Sopp, 338 East Forty
eighth street, who obtained a license
last Saturday to wed Miss Eva Morton,
produced the marriage license and of
fered to turn it back to the county.
"We can't give your money back," the
young man was -nfbrmed, and he then
offered to give it up without any re
fund. "You better keep it: the girl might
change her mind," suggested the clerk.
"No chance," responded Sopp as he
put the license back in his pocket and
strode out of the office.
GOVERNOR TO NAME BOARD

resents, as long as he is an American
citizen, to strive to do his patriotic
duty with all of his heart and all of his
soul.
"It Is no time to quibble over minor
matters of hours or of profit-making.
Every man should feel that he Is called
npon by all that is sacred within him
to do what he can. the best way he can,
to render his greatest patriotic service
to his country.
"Our National fate Is largely In the
hands of the employer and his em

Sacrifices Are T'rged.
"I have no fear of Immediate trouble.
but from conditions In Seattle and
other places along the Pacific Coast I
feel that there might gush up here the
same well springs of bitter feeling
which would be fraught with menace
to the state and consequently to the
Nation;
"For this reason I recommend the
creation of the board of conciliation
and arbitration. It must be a game
of give and take: we must all join in
to make sacrifices, harmonize differ
ences, all for the general common good.
Every Interest Represented.
"No strike should be declared, no
clashes allowed, no bitterness arise, but
all should agree to go before this com-
mon court of conciliation, submit their
differences and abide by the decision
rendered. I can- think of no fairer way
to constitute the court than to select
three members from organized labor,
three from among- the employers and
to place, as theseventh man, the Chief
Justice of the Supreme- Court. His
office is not a political office; he
stands- as representative of all classes
to unswervingly administer affairs ac
cording to the law of right and wrong.
""On such a board would be repre

men who toil, the men who pay, and
the great body of the citizenry.
I. W. W. Branded Vlners.
"And-in offering this plan for reach

I am not' confusing labor with the so
called Industrial Workers of the
World. They are not laborers; they
are not workers they are anarchists.
"Their principles are the principles
of anarchy and sabotage. The senti
ments which they represent are well
expressed in the mass of their litera
ture which has collected in my office.
As- an example, I can cite a typical
I. W. W. song. Such unparalleled
vlciousness. let me repeat, shows their
! propaganda to be too unreasonable and
insane to succeed.
"I will quote a verse of tho song
that the people of the state may know
just what sentiments and feelings
actuate the I. W. W. as typified in
their literature:
"Fail the Flame of Discontent."
Onward Christian soldiers;
Duty's way Is plain;
Slny- your ChrlMian neighbors.
Or by thm be slain.
Pulpiters are shouting effervescent swill,
God above is calling you to rob and rape
and kill,

Smash the doors of every home, pretty
malflens- seise..
Use your mlKht and sacred right to treat

Pledge Made- to Crnshv I. W. W.
"That is an example of their senti
ments, which no society will long tole
rate. "Men who harbor such feelings are
vipers in our civilization. With the
laws of this state. I pledge the people
or Oregon that this office will do its
utmost to crush these sentiments.
"But the I. W W. can be met and
curbed. In my plan for a board of
conciliation and arbitration It is the
desire to lay the foundation for a
tribunal that can meet any industrial
unrest that may arise and point out a
permanent way to the solution of all
industrial difficulties."

THIRD OREGON WILL NOT LOSE
IDENTITY WHEN UNIT OF ARMY
Headquarters Company Needs Good Cook and Others of That Calling Ac
ceptable Twenty Failing to AnBwer Call Dropped as Deserters.
BY W1LLG. MAC RAE.
WITH THE THIRD REGIMENT
OREGON INFANTRY. July 26.
(Special.) Let me correct a
wrong impression before that impres
sion gets broadcast. The Third (Beaver)
Regiment, Oregon Infantry, will not
lose its identity when it is drafted into
the National Army. The regiment will
then be known as the nth regiment
(Third Oregon Infantry). For the sake
of brevity, it may be referred to by the
War Department and in the dispatches.
as the No. 'nth Regiment, but in all
communications from headquarters, the
Third Regiment Oregon Infantry will
always be in brackets, thus (Third
Regiment Oregon Infantry).
Headquarters Company is In the
market for a good cook. No near
cooks need apply, for the' cook of the
Headquarters- Company prepares the
food, not only for the band, but for
Colonel May and his staff. The need
of a cook is due to the pending dis
charge of one of the cooks, who leaves
the Beaver Regiment because of de
pendency.
Good Cooks In Demand.
Good cooks are the precious jewels
needed In-the Army right now. From
Washington has come an urgent ap
peal for masters of the kitchen. How
ever, the Third Oregon, especially the
Headquarters Company, is not special
ly interested in the general needs of
the Army. What it wants is a good
cook. Any cook wishing to enlist, be
he anywhere in the state, if he will get
n touch with Captain William R.
Logus, regimental adjutant, will be
furnished transportation to camp.
Twenty men, who failed to report
on call, were dropped today as de
serters, leaving the strength of the
Third: Oregon on this date, including
the discharge of Private Elmer E.
Franklin, Company L, which came this
morning, 19d, including the 23
recruits.
Only One Company Filled.
In the Army one gets the best ex
ample of "you can never tell" in the
world. Here is a small example: This
morning, and for weeks pa-stP two of
the letter companies, F and L. and
the Supply Companies, were at full
war strength, the letter companies 150
men. Now there is only one company
with 150 men on its muster roll. Com
pany F. Private Franklin going out
leaves Company L with 149 men. There
is still room for about 65 recruits.
The Headquarters Company wants
three, the Machine Gun Company one.
Sanitary troops, A one, B 11, C one,
D ten E six. G nine, II seven, I seven,
K 17. M seven. -
Company F, Captain Llbby, and Com
pany L, Captain Staffrin. had a touch
of trench war this morning. On the
east end of the camp, following the
edge of the mountain, trenches have
been dug. Then 50 feet away another
line has been constructed. This morn
ing saw some lively times in these
trenches, for both companies began try
ing out hand grenade throwing. Cans
of all kinds were used as grenades
and- more than one soldier can dis
play a black and blue spot, testing to
the accuracy in throwing.
Grenades Are Thrown.
The hailing cry from the trenches
was. l.ook out, Fritz we're com
ing." Then would come hurling through
the air a tin can loaded with earth
and stones, with a rope, its end fraz
zled, which acted as sort of a rudder.
BOYS DRILL THE.
DRILL SOME MORE
Newly Mobilized Soldiers Kept
Busy at Armory and on
Multnomah Field.
POST ROUTINE IS FIXED
Oregon Troops Will Not Be Sent to
Fort Stevens or Camp Witliy
combe Vntil Every Man
Receives Equipment.
Drill, drill and drill, was the lot
yesterday of the 2500 young National
Guardsmen who are mobilized in their
home armories throughout the state.
The routine at the Portland Armory
was a fair sample of that in effect
at the 12 other armories where troops
are assembled.
Here drill was the motto, the slogan,
the password, tiie motif of the whole
day.,
Drill Begins) Early.
It began at 8 oclork, when breakfasts
were just settling, with a first call
for drilL From the Armory the vari
ous companies were marched to Mult
nomah Field, where they underwent a
couple- of hours of marching, counter
march.'ng and squad drill formations.
The sun came out good and hot upon
the several hundred sweating young
men who for the most part were get
ting (heir first taste of affairs mili
tary. Several of the organizations, such as
Battery A, Troop A and the Eighth
Company, Coast Artillery,, have a big
nucleus of former service men. but
the other organizations are mostly recruited-
with youths who never before
have- been a day in an Army camp
and under Army discipline.
"Work Is Repeated.
At 10:30 o'clock the officers took
mercy on the men and marched them
back to the Armory. But that didn't
end the drill for the day, not by any
means.
Again at 1 o'clock the, drill call
soundedi This time it continued until
2:3S, but the men were drilled in the
Armory, or in the streets nearby. There
was no march to Multnomah Field.
Major- Charlfs E. McDorell, com
manding the First Separate Squadron.
Oregon Cavalry, has been designated
post commander in charge o all troops
at' the Armory by orders of Adjutant
General White. One of Major McDon
cll's first acts was to close the Armory
to the public, a move made necessary
to avoid confusion and facilitate drilL
Pais Needed to Entrr.
Hereafter it will take a written pass
to get inside the Armory.
Major McDonell has namel First
Lieutenant Orland S. Peabody, former
ly of Troop B. as squadron, adjutant,
and acting post adjutant.
The promotion was also announced of
Corporal Will F. Hessian, of Troop B,
to be battalion sergeant major. This
is a big step upward at one jump, and
Sergeant Major Hessian won it because
of his efficiency in clerical and admin
istrative work. In private life, he is
Then would come some artful dodgin
some in the nick of time, some too
slow, hence the bruised spots. While
some of the cans overshot the mark
and others fell short, a surprising num
ber or them would land plump into
the trenches, which, had they been the
real article, would- have wiped it out.
This new style of warfare and the
bayonet drill has taken a strong hold
of the soldiers. Commanders have
urged upon their men the grave im
portance of great skill in both, hand
grenade throwing and in the use of the
bayonet. It Is this: "If you ever hope
to come back, make up your mind
right now to be better throwers and
better fencers with the bayonet than
the other fellow." it's a grewsome
drill. The men are cautioned not to
drive the steel into any part of an
opponent but the throat or in the re
gion of the umbilicus.
Third N-ot Dismayed.
To stab the steel between the ribs
means that it cannot be withdrawn
easily. In the dummies used in bay
onet drill these -two vital spots are
marked. Another test of the accuracy
of the bayonet aim is brought about
by driving the point through a, small
ring. The grewsome part is lost on
the Third Oregon soldier. He has made
a sporting game of the drill. For
instance, one squad with fixed bay
onets will be hiding in the trenches.
The attacking squad will be armed
with long poles the length of a rifle,
and the end. of the pole will be padded.
The soldier with his rifle and bayonet
will try and prevent the one with the
padded pole from jabbing it into hi
neck or down in the pantry. The re
sult is that between battalion drill and
dark on the company street or on the
drill ground soldiers can be seen fenc
ing with the padded poles.
It will be several days before the
units mustered into the service Wednes
day will take up headquarters here.
There wil be plenty of ground for
the camps of the various organizations,
but it will be a hard, test on the
water supply.
Fifty on Reserve List.
The Beaver Regiment has about 50
reservists who have been ordered to
report. These men will first report
to the Armory and then be sent to
camp. Notices were Eent out yester
day. Orders from the Western Depart
ment rescind the orders of the other
day ordering Captain William E. Stew
art to take charge of field hospital
No. 1, at La Grande, and ordering Lieu
tenant Edward Myers to duty at Clack
amas. Unless another order comes
through. Captain Stewart will return
to duty with the Third Oregon.
Captain Grover Todd, Lieutenant
Philip A. Livesly and Lieutenant Ben

to inquire into the death of Private

roruana journal
Troop Brady to Hove.
No orders have been received yet for
any of the troops now in the armories
to move to the concentration points at
Fort Stevens and Camp Withycombe.
Adjutant-General White said last night
that troops of the Oregon Coast Artil
lery virtually are ready to move now,
but that they probably will remain
where they are, In local armories, until
the end of this week, or early next
week.
General White said that It is desired
to give the men as Ion ; a time as
needed for them to settle up their pri
vate business affairs. - Inasmuch as
there is no emergency requiring a- rapid
mobilization of the troops, no effort is
being made to establish a. speed record.
Equipment la Awaited.
As for the cavalry, field artillery, en
gineer and field hospital troops, they
will not be moved to Camp Withycombe
until every bit of their required equip
ment arrives from San Francisco.
This means they will be held at local
armories until every needed uniform,
blanket, cot. tent, cooking utensil, rifle
and supplies in general have reached
Camp Withycombe. Absolutely nothing
would be gained by Humping the men.
in their present disorganized and un
equipped condtion. upon Camp Withy
combe,. and much harm might result.
The Western Department at San
Francisco takes- the same view of the
situation. It is making every effort '
to rush the needed supplies to Camp
Withycombe, but it may be one week,
i aays or two weeks before all is
ready for the men to move there.
Many Sleep ae Home.
In the meantime they are being fed" in
restaurants and are being sent home
for the most part at night to sleep.
Quarters are being provided for" those
who do not live near enough, to re
turn home.
General White is receiving many
compliments for the smoothness and
dispatch with which the mobilization
was carried out. There was not a
hitch anywhere, and virtually 100 per
cent of the men called out have re
sponded. Long before the mobilization actually
took place, however, complete orders
had been made out and all details
prepared to handle every contingency.
The actual mobilization order only-set
in motion the well-adjusted machinery
that had been so carefully prepared.
It was not the fault of General
White that supplies- are not on hand
at Camp Withycombe for the men.
Requisitions for these supplies were
made of the War Department weeks
and weeks ago; In the big rush, to
equip the men about to be sent to
France, however, the War Department
has been unable to furnish them.

VOLTJXTEEKS STILL- AV.VXTED
Few Vacant Places Are Tjeft fop Men
Who Would Avoid Draft.
There Is still an opportunity for men
who prefer to be listed as volunteers
rather than as conscripts taken under
the draft to enter one of the Oregon
National Guard organizations.
If a man has been called on the first
draft, however: he will have to hurry
to get In. Such men can be accepted
by recruiting officers only until the
official lists of the draft numbers
actually arrive and are posted by the
local exemption boards.
That will be within a day or two,
for news from "Washington is to the
effect that they have been put in the
mails.
Men desiring to enlist now In the
National Guard should apply at the
recruitine- offices at 106 Fifth street
between Washington and Stark. There
are openings in the field artillery, a
very desirable branch of the service;
in the engineers and In the cavalry.
There is room for a few enlisted men
specialists in the Coast Artillery, but
that organization is so near to full
war strength that a man has to be
a skilled specialist to gain admittance
to it.
The Third Oregon Infantry also has
a few openings, not more than 25 or
30. that It is desirous of filling by
volunteer enlistments. The Third Ore
gon is one of the crack National
Guard infantry regiments In the United
States, and is certain to be heard from
with honor after it goes to Europe.
