A man of commanding presence, but
genial manners, evidently still In his lull
strength, though Mb hair has turned gray
la the public sen-Ice. is Rear-Admiral R.
B. Bradford, chief of the Bureau of
Equipment of the Navy Department, -who
S assed through the city yesterday on his
v ay from San Francisco to Seattle. He Is
c a a tour of inspection of the navy-yards
c f the PacMc Coast, and Is also securing
toaling stations at convenient points, for
1 e says that coal is as important to a
modern navy as ammunition.
"I have been inspect ing the navy-yard
ct Mare Island and the warships which
are building at the Union Iron Works.
We are not lpoking for any more naval
wars, but we like to be ready for one
when It comes. I am much Interested in
coaling stations, which are under my bu
reau," he said to an Oregonian reporter
yesterday. "We have a large one at
Bremerton, and hope to have them soon
at San Francisco, San Diego. Honolulu
and Dutch Harbor. "We have one at Pago
I'ago. on our Samoan Island of Tutulla,
and are enlarging the one at Sitka."
"Does the department contemplate the
creation of further nay-ya.rds on tho
Pacific Coast?" was asked.
"So far. we are devoting our attention
more to building up those we have, and I
think we shall be pretty well supplied
when Bremerton is built up," he an
swered. "There has been a good deal of criticism
of Slare Island on account of the diffi
culty of getting ships in and out." re
marked the reporter.
"I think Mare Island Is a good site."
sail the Admiral, "though it Is unfortu
nate that there is not more water. Still
we can carry 29 feet, and It is an advan
tage for defensive purposes to be well in
land. There has been some difficulty In
keeping the channel open, and I believe
it is proposed to build jetties from Mare
Island to the Vallejo shore, in order, to
get more scour in the channel.
Iiavraultn for Coaling: Station.
"I had some lawyers from Honolulu
meet me in San Francisco in regard to
the suit to condemn the leasehold of the
Honolulu Plantation Company on the site
ior the coaling station at Pearl Harbor.
The Government has got all the land and
settled with all the claimants except this
company, but our suit with it has been
tried twice. "We then appealed to the
Circuit Court at San Francisco, which re
manded the case to Honolulu. Howeer,
the lawyers made a fair proposition, which
I am taking back to the department. It
ifi Impossible to begin work at Pearl Har
bor until the land is cleared of all en
cumbrances and the title accepted by the
Attorney-General.
"We have had another suit in regard
to Mission Hock, in San Francisco Bay,
an island of about one acre, which is
held by the Mission Rock Company. This
company filled in the tide land around,
eo that it increased the area to about four
acres and offered It for sale to the Gov
ernment as a coaling station. The Gov
ernment found that it had never parted
with title to the original acre, and the
court decided that the Government owned
all the land originally above high-water
mark, and the company owned the rest.
I did not get a satisfactory offer from
the company, so I looked for an alter
native site, and found one which would
do very well near the entrance of San
Pablo Bay, above Angel Island."
"How are the new ships getting along
at the Union Iron Works?"
"They are doing very well. The com
pany is Just finishing the Tacoma and
Ohio, and has on the stocks the Milwau
kee, California and South Dakota, the
two last being very large armored cruls
. era. At Mare Island the men are doing
the UBual repair work and building a tug.
They will soon commence work on a
training brig."
Protect Sailors From Dives.
"Has your visit to Bremerton anything
to do with the liquor question there?"
was asked.
"No, that does not come under my
, Jurisdiction. It seems to mo, however,
,that citizens everywhere ought to pro
ject seamen from temptation rather than
Inveigle them into places where they lose
their money and get into trouble, for
only a few profit by it. Our sailors are
good men. and have improved much in
morale and sobrloty, but of course many
'more will fall if temptation is thrown
i right in their faces than if they have to
seek it I think the department has taken
a determined stand against having grog
shops thrust right under their noses at
'the gates of the navy-yards."
"What is the disposition regarding the
Bremerton yard?"
"The general consensus of opinion
j among naval officers is that we should
build up a large yard there, and this is
being rapidly done. Puget Sound is a
fine sheet of water, and, being near the
frontier, Bremerton is on strategic ground.
Puget Sound can be entered at any time
of tho day or night and at any stage of
the tide, and is easily defended, so that
it has many natural advantages. A num
ber of buildings are going up there, in
cluding a large coal depot and an equip
ment building for manufacturing pur
poses. I think Congress regards the site
favorably."
Electricity on "Warhhlps.
"You have had a great deal to do with
introducing electricity on board warships.
Admiral. Have you done anything new In
that direction?" was asked.
"Well, electric plants are being used
more and more for all auxiliaries on
board warships. The greatest advance re
cently is their use In moving-turrets. The
wires are always well protected, for they
run below the water-line and behind
armor. In case a wire is cut by a shell,
it is much easier to repair than a pipe
used, for steam, water or air. The ab
sence of heat In storerooms is another
great advantage, for steam produces heat
which may Injure the stores."
Admiral Bradford, who is accompanied
"by his wife, left last night for Seattle,
and expects to remain there and at
Bremerton until Tuesday, when he will
leave for Washington.
CLAIMED BY TWO WIVES
J. II. SfcCormlck, A Seattle Painter,
Arrested for Bigamy.
Because he had one wife more than the
law allows J. H. McCormick, a Seattle
painter who drifted Into Portland a few
days ago, was arrested on a charge of
bigamy and taken back to Seattle yes
terday afternoon. There his two wives
await him, and they have combined
forces in the effort to bring their recreant
husband to Justice.
Acting on Instructions from Sheriff
Cudlhee, of Seattle, Detectives Day and
.Kerrigan arrested McCormick at his
room at First and Columbia streets. A
slight description of tho wanted man. to
gether with the fact that he was a
painter by trade, was wired the Portland
police, and with this slim clue they found
the alleged bigamist and started him
back to his heart-broken wives. Deputy
Sheriff Lamport, of Seattle, left with
him yesterday afternoon..
The first and second -Mrs. McCormicks
did not know of the existence of one an
other until they met in the office of the
Prosecuting Attorney of King County
Friday afternoon. Each had learned that
her husband was putting In part of his
time -with another woman, and their out
raged feelings brought them to the attor
ney's office.
Mrs. McCormick No. 2 heard Mrs. Mc
Cormick -No. 1 tell the Prosecuting At
torney of the alleged misdeeds of her
husband, J. H. McCormlckT "Then- she"
chimed in.
"He is my husband and you're the wom
an he has "been trifling with," she cried in
indignant tones. Distrustful of one an
ther they were still Jealous of their hus
band's affections.
"Well, I married him first and he's
mine," said No. 2, but finally the Pros
ecuting Attorney was able to straighten
things out, and the two women agreed to
put personal grievances aside in the ef
fort to find the man whom each claimed
as her lawfully wedded husband.
Now the runaway husband has been
found, and the two women may divide

WOMANS WORK FOR FAIR
Portland "Women's Department Meets
Monday to Ilenr Reports.
The Portland Women's Department of

ery woman in Oregon should Join in the
work and In every way assist the board
in bringing about beet results for the gen
eral success of the Exposition.
At the Oregon State Grange recently
held in Oregon City Mrs. Weatherred
spoke on "How the Grange Can Help."
This resulted in a committee jof women be
ing appointed, which means that 500
women of the Grange will begin the can
ning of fruits, preparing samples of
grains and grasses and in many other
ways planning exhibits.
It is not the Intention of the Lewis and
Clark Women's Department to consider
alone a woman's building and what will
be seen there, but they are arranging to
put forth every effort to help in the dis
plays wherever they may be placed.
The committee appointed to look after
the collection of pressed wild flowers re
ports a fine display already prepared. Tho
school children have taken much Interest
in preparing their examination papers this
June, knowing they were to be selected
and put away for the Exposition. Tho
special committee reports communications

elegant display of the flax product. The
convocation committee Is receiving favor
able replies from delegates who will at
tend National conventions and who ex
press their willingness to favor Oregon for
a meeting in 1905.
TROOPS FOR NORTHWEST
Rctnrn From Philippines to Vancou
ver, La-rrton and Wrifrlit.
Southern Pacific officials have been no
tified that two special trains filled with
troops for Northwest posts will be sent
isorth irom San Francisco on June 19.
It is announced that 12 officers and S00
men are coming to occupy the post at
Vancouver Barracks, and 12 officers and
270 men will be distributed between Forts
Lawton and Wright.
The troops will be brought North in two
special trains, each of eight cars. From
Portland they -will be distributed without
delay to the Army posts which they are
to occupy. The newcomers are said " to
be men who are returning from the Phil
ippines, after, one or two years' service.
The orders bringing the troops North
have been issued because the troops al
ready at these posts are to be sent to the
Philippine Islands at once. It is likely
the new soldiers will take part in the Fall
maneuvers with the National Guardsmen
of Oregon. Washington and Idaho.
Sick Headache.
Watch for the first indication of an at
tack and as soon as you feel it coming on
take three of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and the attack may be
warded off. Mr. Geo. E. Wright, of New
London. New Tork, says: "For several
years my wife was troubled with what
physicians called sick headache of a very
severe character. She doctored with sev
eral eminent physicians and at a great
expense, only to grow worse until she
was unable to do any kind of work. -About
a year ago ehe began taking Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and to
day weighs mpre than she ever did before
and is real well." For sale by all druggists.
ONE BRIDGE IS ENOUGH
EAST-SIDE, PEOPLE,. OBJECT TO
PAYIXG FOR.. .TWO.
"Wide Structure Midway Between
Grand and Union Avenaes Ssg
Keated as Compromise.
There will be strong opposition in Cen
tral East Portland to shouldering the
burden of paying for two steer bridges
across Sullivan's gulch, one on Union and
one on Grand avenue. Property owners
for many blocks In all directions are be
coming apprehensive that if two bridge
districts are formed they will be included
and will be assessed heavily to erect both,
which will probably cost between $60,000
and J70.000 all told. They might be will
ing to be assessed for one structure, but
to tho two they will object vigorously.
OF POPE LEO XIII.
A strong protest will be made on the
ground of the great cost of two, bridges
so close together, when one would be
sufficient, A property owner on Union
avenue suggests a single wide bridge,
built midway between Union and Grand
avenues, as entirely feasible. He said:
"It seems to me "that this would be suf
ficient. The approaches could be
widened out and the bridge made wide
enough so that cars from either Union
or Grand avenue could swing onto the
structure without trouble. I don't be
lieve that there would be any serious ob
stacles In the way. At the south Elde
approach part of East Everett street
could be used, while on the north side
sufficient ground could be secured at
small expense. Both Grand and Union
avenues could open onto the wide brldg".
The cost .of such a bridge would prob
ably be more than one built at either
Grand or Union avenue, but the single
bridge would cost at least J30.000 less
than two steel ones built within a block
of each other, which I understand would
cost $30,000 to $10,000 each."
FARMERS WANT A MARKET.
Fouonn Grnnjte Will Consider Pro
ject nt Approaching Meeting.
Pomona Grange, of Multnomah County,
will hold its quarterly meeting next
Wednesday, June 17, in the hall of Co
lumbia Grange No. 207, Patrons of Hus
bandry, near Corbett, east of Sandy
Blver. Columbia Grange is making prep

wishes of farmers with reference to a
market will be introduced and a commit
tee will doubtless be appointed. Mrs. H.
L. Vail, of Palestine, Is master of Po

WILL GIVE ROSE SHOW.
Portland Rose Society's Plan to Pro
mote Rose Cnltare.
The Portland Rose Society has deter
mined to give a rose show at Parsons
Hall Saturday afternoon and evening,
June 20. The society will give no prizes
and no rosea will be entered for competi
tion. The plan Is to give a rose exhibit
somewhat similar to the one which was
given at Multnomah field a year ago. The
great advantage of such an exhibit is
that It enables persons who are not fa
miliar with the names of roses to learn
the varieties which they wish to plant in
their gardens.
It is intended by such an exhibit to etim
ulate by practical example the interest in
the culture of roses and In making Port
land the "Rose City." In addition, it
will show people what can be done in the
way of beautifying their grounds for the
Lewis and Clark Fair in 1505. Portland
must depend very largely upon private
grounds to make the floral exhibit for the
Lewis and Clark Fair. This rose show
should do very much In this direction.
The Hose Society desires all people,
without exception, who have roses to ex
hibit them at the rose show, and if the
exhibitors do not know the names of the
roses, the society intends to have rose
experts present who will give exhibitors
the proper names. Glass jars will be fur
nished exhibitors. Even If a person has
only one fine specimen It should be ex
hibited at this rose show. It is hoped that
the people who have extensive rose gar
dens and many varieties will make exhib
its, not so much for the purpose of dis
playing their skill in growing roses as to
make a fine show and to give those inter
ested in the subject the chance to select
varieties. .
Further notice will be given of the hours
In which the rose show will be open.
Mrs. Rose Hoyt has kindly consented to
take charge of this rose show. This Is an
assurance that the rose show will be well
conducted and successful. A number
of ladles have volunteered to assist Mrs.
Hoyt in making the rose show a success.

BACKWARD BABIES.
Their Food Usually at Fault.
When the baby Is peevish and back
ward about walking or talking the food
will often be found to be the reason. This
can be proved by changing to Grape
Nuta food for a few days for this solen-
i tine food will digest in the weakest stom
ach and will give the proper nourish
ment for baby building. "When our girl
was a tiny baby she had indigestion, and
although we did our best nothing seemed
to help her. She was peevish and would
not even try to walk and many times
-would cry aloud and seemed to be in
much pain.
"As we had burled three children before
you can imagine how we felt to eee this
little girl wasting away. "When she was
two years old she had a terrible sick
spell and we were ve much alarmed.
The doctor said she had Summer com
plaint and indigestion and told us to use
Grape-Nuts. After we had given her two
meals of this food her bowels were
checked and In a short time she was com
pletely well and strong again.
"Then we noticed how her mind too be
gan to improve. She had never talked be
fore, but now she brightened up and un
derstood things that were said to her. She
laughs all the time Instead of crying, and
now after two years living on Grape-Nuts
she talks well, has a splendid memory,
and is as bright and healthy and happy a
baby as anyone would ever care to see. I
hope some other discouraged mother will
read these lines and profit by them."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
An excellent way to prepare for very
young babies is to take one and one-halt
tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nute and cover
with a. pint of cold water. Let it stand
for half an hour, strain, and set aside.
When ready to use take 12 te&spoonfuls
of the strained Grape-Nuts juice and 6
teaspoonfuls of rich milk. Add a pinch of
salt and a little sugar, warm and feed to
baby every two hours. Grape-Nuts of
course te a food for everybody, but tiny
babies are not expected to take the food
in the same way as aiults.

To an Oregonian representative he raid,
yesterday:
"The public has responded very liberally
to our request for funds and we have a
good sum at our disposal. It Is deposited
with the City Treasurer and none of It Is

worked In season and out for several
years to convince the people of Portland

feasible, but never until this time have
they taken hold of the matter properly.
"We have In mind a beautiful new band

been drawn and which we expected to
have under way before this time. The
labor troubles, however, have been a
great hindrance and we will be forced to
use the present bandstand for some time
