ON BOARD THE TJ. S. S. NEW MEX
ICO, Sunday, July 27. (By wireless via
Colon to the Associated Press.) The
Pacific fleet, which passed successfully
through the Panama canal yesterday on
its voyage from Hampton Roads to the
west coast of the United States, sailed
tonight from Panama for San Diego,
Cal.
President Belisario Porras of the re
public of Panama, with members of hie
family and his staff, made an official
calx on Admiral Hugh Rodman, com
manding the fleet, today. President
Porras was given full presidential
honors.
Thousands of sailors from the fleet
took peaceful possession of Panama.
Until recently American soldiers and
sailors were not allowed to visit Panama-
Admiral Rodman, however, had
expressed confidence that the visit of
his men a6hore would be entirely har
monious. SANTA BARBARA, Cal., July 28.
The route of the Pacific fleet up the
coast has been changed and will not
call at Santa Barbara as planned, ac
cording to a telegram from United
States Senator Phelan. Instead, the
fleet will steam inside the channel
Islands, passing the city at 10 A. M. on
the morning of August 13.
PORTLAND PLANS IX MAKING
Grand Parade, Banquet and Athletic
Tournament Planned.
A grand parade and review, banquet
for the officers and dance for the men,
an athletic tournament at Multnomah
field featuring baseball contests to de
termine the championship of the fleet,
and a trip over the Columbia highway
for officers and men are the main fea
tures planned for entertainment of the
personnel of the Pacific fleet when it
arrives in Portland harbor, according
to announcement of Lester W. Hum
phries, chairman of the committee .of
100 appointed by Mayor Baker to have
charge of the big event. All plans thus
far are indefinite, but the programme
undoubtedly will include the features
outlined.
A letter received yesterday by Sec
retary W. D. B. Dodson of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce from Har
bormaster Jacob Speir, now in Wash
ington, D. C, states that the officers of
the fleet are enthusiastic over the pros
pect of a visit in Portland. Many of
the men have already been here and
have nothing but praise for this city's
hospitality. Others have heard of the
way Portland always has treated the
service men and are anxious for a visit
here. Greatest effort is being made to
have the entire fleet come to Portland.
There is still some likelihood that
Secretary Daniels and President Wilson
may be in Portland at the time of the
visit of the fleet, and if so the pro
gramme will be altered materially to
arrange for a mass meeting at the au
ditorium and other entertainment features.
Digo to meet Admiral Hugh Rodman,
sent a message by wireless to the flag
ship of the commander, off the coast
of lower California, that Tacoma is
making big preparations and. can ac
commodate the entire fleet.
Mayor Riddell will leave Thursday,
probably for San Diego to meet Ad
miral Rodman whom he knew as a
small boy. He will carry with him
photographs showing the Tacoma
stadium and the great arena and charts
showing the extent of harbor areas'
suitable for anchoring large vessels.

Alaska Pack Shows Alarming: De
cline and Rise in Prices Is
Deemed Inevitable.
Shortage of the salmon pack is pre
dicted, unless fish soon become more
plentiful. The Pacific coast salmon
pack in 1918 was 10,100,000 cases, but
unless the Puget Sound district makes
good, the pack will not exceed 6,000,000
cases. It is getting doubtful about
Puget Sound, although the fish are be
ing optimistically expected.
All along the coast the fishing con
ditions are reported as unsatisfactory.
A small pack will probably mean an in
crease in prices, so the consumer i:
particularly interested in the non-ap
pearance of the fish.
In the Columbia the first two weeks
of the season opened big. and the catch
was tar greater than lor the same
period last season. Then for a time the
catch equaled last season and of late
the catch has decreased. There is still
time for last seasou's catch to be
equaled, as the spring season does not
close until August 25. At the rate the
fish are coming into the river, the pros
pects are not encouraging.
i ne snaa ana DiueoacK packs are
short.but the chinook is even or better
than last year.
Reports from the Oregon coast
streams indicate a light pack. The
Lmpqua and Rogue and the fisheries at
aldport are not doing what they
nopea ror.
Western Alaska is 50 per cent short
and southeastern Alaska is little bet
ter. The indications point to half j
pack in Alaska. In some parts of
Alaska the pack has fallen as low as 5
per cent.
