PORT STEVENS, Or., July 13. (Staff
f of the Columbia River demonstrated
1 during last night their ability to cope
i with a night attack from hostile naval
forces. It was made plain that a daring
I torpedo-boat flotilla would stand no
f chance of sneaking Into the harbor under
f cover of mist and darkness.
Twice, during the darkest hours of the
I night, the swift little Government tug
1 Guy Howard attempted to slip over the
Columbia River bar and get past the
guns into the harbor behind the forti
fications. Both attempts failed. The
first dash at 2 A. M. aroused the bat-
i.-ipdo vl'ViIIa thA llttlft craft was five
miles out. 1 A mortar fusillade put it out
of action. At 3:30 A. M. while a heavy
gray mist hung over the harbor, adding
to the darkness, a second attempt was
made. It looked for a time as If the
boat was going to get in. But the con-

the river picked up the tug at a range
of 6300 yards. Just as it was steaming
unawares into a mine field.
Tug Is Promptly Sunk.
. The batteries from Stevens and Co
lumbia opened up simultaneously and two
dummy mines were set off directly under
the craft. The harbor and contiguous
territory vibrated as during an earth
quake shock under the heavy firing of
the big coast guns. Had the Guy' Howard
been in reality a flotilla of torpedo-boats,
some bleak funnels would be decorating
the water-llns hereabouts today..
Last night's maneuvers were by far the
most spectacular as well as the most
Important of the coast defense camp
period. There is a wide area to guard at
the mouth of the river where the little
wasps of war could pass In from the sea.
It has been declared, by not a few
V tacticians, that the torpedo-boats could
J really get by. Let a flotilla creep In be

entire force of both forts was alert
through the night and determined that
the tugboat's venture should fail, .Colonel
Im. H. Walker, artillery district com
mander, remained at the fortifications
all night ' In personal command.
No Sleep for the Troops.
The hour that the Guy Howard was
I expected to put in an appearance was
unknown even to the commanding officer-
Captain Gordon, of the tug, had Instruc
tions to steam-out at his own discretion
iand try to get In when he thought the op
Dortunltv most favorable.
The searchlights at Stevens and Co
lumbia were manned at dusk and kept
their broad, pliable blades of white
light playing up and down the harbor
and out to sea. From dusk until dawn
these lights patrolled the front and
flanks of the position. One light shone
from Fort Columbia and one from Fort
Stevens. A report became current
that the attack was to be made
at 10 o'clock and everyone was
ready at that hour. Then the rumored
hour was changed to 11 o'clock and to
midnight. But the Howard put In no
appearance. Among the batterymen It
I was feared she had slipped by, although
the crew at the searchlight asserted
t positively that nothing short of an
During all this time the Howard was
lying tranquilly at her dock behind
the garrison with the crew below
asleep. Two officers of the Third in
fantry and an Oregonlan representa
tive were taken aboard to view the
1 operations from the naval point of
I view.
V Sighted as She Goes Out.
It was 1:20 A. M. when Captain
1 Gordon quietly aroused his crew and
r got under way. He kept close to the
1 west shore in the hope of keeping un-
V der the searchlights and getting out to
sea unobserved. This plan failed, for
. as the Howard steamed past buoy
No. 10 the Fort Columbia light flashed
Viv the boat. Brave the sentries a
glimpse of the vessel and then the
glaring flash was turned full upon the
Howard and kept there, escorting It out
of the harbor.
Captain Gordon concluded that the
shore observers would hardly be ex
pecting a quick return of the boat
and decided to use strategy. Getting
out of range of the flashlights, he
swung the Howard around a short dis
tance beloy buoy No. 8 and getting
as near shore as possible, put on full
speed and made a dash for it.
The great restless eyes of the forts
were now playing rapidly along the
water-line, taking as wide a range as
possible. The lights hit well out into
the harbor and there seemed a reason
able chance of creeping in under them.
Guns Begin to Boom.
But Just at the moment when hopes
of getting 'by the lights were being felt,
one of the big feelers passed across the
deck, flashed by and then returned an
Instant later to stay. Both posts con
centrated the full glare of the lights on
the Howard. The party of observers out
on the deck found the Illumination blind
ing. It was not unlike a spotlight.
Through the distance the shrill, irrl
tatfd notes of the call to arms could be
made out as it passed from trumpeter
to trumpeter. The forts were not slow
In speaking their welcome. Captain
Gordon put on a speed of 10 knots an
hour and attempted to maneuver out
of the danger zone, but the batteries
were too quick for that. The search
lights held on with the tenacity of a ter
rier, until a quick red flash, as of light
ning, showed above the emplacements at
Fort Stevens, and a moment later the
hsrbor was vibrating under an artillery
fusillade. The expedition wns doomed
nd In theory the Howard vent to the
bottom with all on board. In fact, she
meandered along to her moorings and
put up for the. night.
By 3 o'clock there was a stiff wind
and a choppy sea. A heavy mist spread
over the river and harbor. Captain Gor
don decided on a second attempt to run
the gauntlet, thinking the vigilance had
possibly relaxed in the meantime. Once
more the Howard steamed out.
Again Tug Is Sighted.
It was quickly, learned, however, that
there had been no cessation of alertness.
The two posts were as much awake as
if actual hostilities were at hand and
an enemy might appear momentarily.
Besides, to let the Howard get by unob
served would reflect on the honor and
efficiency of the artillerymen and the
Oregon infantrymen who were helping
them man the batteries, submarine
mines and primary stations. They were1
taking no chances.
The searchlight caught the tugboat on
the way out and followed It out of range.
This time Captain Gordon did not steam
in at once, but passed on out over the
bar, despite the heavy seas, whlca
tossed the vessel about like a cork.
After avoiding the lights for half an
hour the Howard started back across the
choppy bar. Intent on using the mist as
a screen from the relentless eyes of the
forts. The searchlights wandered cease
lessly back and forth and up and down,
but they were having trouble penetrat
ing the mist. The Howard got in within
6300 yards of the emplacements and then
the searchlight , from Fort Columbia
picked her up In a rift of the mist and
held on. The other light quickly flashed
to the assistance and the two pene-

trated the' mist and darkness until the
batteries again spoke their earnest little
piece.
This time the submarine mine detach
ment got a chance to operate. When dis
covered the Howard was entering a mine
field, an area planted with dummy mines.
The mixed crew bf regulars and Oregon
militiamen at the mine station had to
work quickly to torpedo the Howard, but
they succeeded in exploding two mines
directly under the vessel.
Colonel Walker Pleased.
"The night's work was entirely satis
factory," said Colonel Walker this fore
noon. "The men got Into their places
quickly and did their work well. The
militia made a creditable showing. It
was shown that the tug cannot get into
the harbor without being seen, nor is it
likely that any other vessel could."
Officers and men were tired out after
the night of activity, for there was little
sleep for any one. Guards had to be
kept posted in the primary stations all
day, however, as the terms of simulated
warfare allow for no Intervals. It was
necessary to attack every ship coming in
over the bar. No vessels appeared dur
ing the forenoon, however, and the men
had a chance to get some sleep.
Companies A and G of the First Sep
erate Battalion manned the mortars and
10-lnch rifles at Fort Stevens In conjunc
tion with the regular artillerymen. Com
panies B and M of the Third Oregon In
fantry are distributed among the guns
at Fort Columbia.
Break Camp Tomorrow. '
Two alarms occurred during this af
ternoon, small vessels appearing across
the bar. Several blank charges were
fired. The Issue of 80 rounds now being
exhausted, the Yirlng movements will be
gone through without ammunition here
after. The war period practically closes
with today, although there will be drills
tonight and the tugboat may be sent out
again in the event new weather condi
tions arise.
Tomorrow the Guard officers and men
will be given lectures on the various
phases of artillery work, by regulars of
this garrison. Monday the militia will
break camp preparatory to returning to
home stations.
The Infantry attack from the camp at
9easide has been abandoned. Arrange
ments could not be made conveniently
for transporting the troops to Fort Ste
vens and the distance is too great to
march. Colonel McDonell is following out
a programme of dally drills which will
add greatly to the efficiency of the com
mand. Skirmish work along the beach
Is being engaged In today. The Seaside
troops will break camp on Tuesday.

All records for attendance at the 14th
annual session of the Willamette Valley

and an Immense crowd thronged the
grounds. Saturday is always a favorite
day at Gladstone Park, and today was
no exception. The weather was beautiful
and picnic parties were much In evidence
this afternoon.
The feature of the day's programme
was the lecture by Hon. Frank Stewart
Regan and the reception that followed in
the W. C. T. U. tent, which Is the
beauty spot of the grounds. Mr. Regan
arrived this morning and as soon as his
presence in the park became known he
was surrounded by hundreds of enthusi
astic temperance people. He bears the
distinction of having been elected to the
Legislature of the State of Illinois from
the tenth Senatorial district by a ma
jority of more than 3000 on the straight
woniDition ticket. He asked his audience
to consider themselves hearers In his own
district, and taking for his topic. "The
Saloon in Politics," went at the proposi
tion hammer and tongs. He said the
farmer is a Prohibitionist when he takes
weeds from his cornfield and that the
railroads give a shining example of Pro
hibition in the establishment of the block
system in dispatching trains. Mr. Regan
believes that there are enough Prohibi
tionists to win most anywhere- if they
will stand together. His speech was
liberally illustrated with cartoons, drawn
by himself on the platform, and tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock he will lecture on
"Human Wrecks," Illustrating his talks
with cartoons.
Talks on Prohibition.
Immediately after the close of the lec
ture, which was preceded by a solo
by Dr. Heritage and a recitation by
Professor W. Eugene Knox, both Chau
tauqua favorites, a reception was
tendered Mr. Regan. The affair was in
charge of Mrs. Lucia Faxon Additon, and
among the noted people there were Rev.
J. H. Durkee, of Rochester, N. Y., who

On Saturday evening, July 20,
Judge Samuel R. Artman, of
Lebanon. Ind., will deliver a lec
ture under the auspices of the
Portland Municipal Association
in the First Presbyteran Church,
on "The Unconstitutionality of
Saloon Licenses."
Judge Artman Is a speaker of
remarkable power; logical, keen
witted and convincing in his
arguments. His subject is all the
more interesting, in view of the
fact that under a recent decision
of his In his own county, a sa
loon license was refused on the
ground that the saloon was a
nuisance and could not be
licensed. This decision has at
tracted much attention through
out the whole country. No one
interested in the temperance
question should miss hearing
him. From a legal standpoint
the lecture will be of special
interest.

centennial congress that will be held In
Saratoga Springs, N. T., June 15-30, 1908.
Mr. Durkee will speak at 6:16 o'clock to
morrow evening at Hawthorne Park, in
Portland, where union services are being
held. Rev. James Hoffman Batten, of
North Dakota, talked entertainingly on the
prohibitory laws of his state and told
how they had been strengthened this
year. Solicitors are not permitted to go
after liquor business and the effort to
sell booze is confined to the malls. Rail
roads and express companies are not
allowed to have their property utilized
for storing liquor and several ware
houses have been closed for violating the
law. Mr. Batten will have the entire
time of the W. C. T. U. round table next
Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and
will speak on "Saloon Rights vs. Human
Rights." He has charge of the Bible
study hour, daily from 10 to 11 A. SI., in
the auditorium, and his class is the
largest on the grounds. Mr. Batten Is
giving a series of lectures on "The Bible
as a Supernatural Revelation," and Mon
day morning his subject will be "Pro
phecy as a Proof of the Divine Revela
tion." Mrs. Himes, Mrs. Dalgleish and Mrs.
Williams served refreshments in the W.
C. T. U. tent after the reception. The
place was -prettily decorated with beauti
ful flowers.
The mothers' congress was held this
morning during the Chautauqua forum,
Mrs. Earner B. Colwell presiding. Dr.
Charles H. Chapman talked on "The
Training of Teachers," and. said that Ore
gon needs not only four normal schools
but a dozen, that every teacher in Ore
gon might be trained for her work. Dr.
Chapman said that more married women
are needed in the public schools, as they
have the most experience' about children
and it is suicidal to shut them out. The
speaker stated that all teachers, both
men and women, should be paid better
salaries, and he bitterly criticized Dr.
Lyman Abbott's magazine, "The Outlook,"
which he characterized as "the foe of
women," for inducing Governor Hughes
to veto the law passed by the New York
Legislature giving the women teachers
in New York the same pay as the men
for the same work.

C. C. Chapman, of the Chapman Ad

The baseball game this afternoon be
tween the North Pacific and the East
Side Athletic Club was the best of the
schedule, and fast fielding and hard
hitting on both sides was the leature.
The game was won by the North Pa
cific with a score of 6 to 2, and the
winners secured nine hits. The E. S.
A. C. fell on the N. P. pitcher for eight
hits and the score was tied three times
during the game. The crowd was by
far the largest seen at any Chautauqua
game this year, and the grandstand was
comfortably filled. The umpire lor tne
series is Alexander Cheyane, and he is
doing remarkably well, no complaint
having been registered at his decis
ions. The beautiful rustic cantata, "Months
and Seasons," was given tonight by
75 school children of Parkplace and
Oregon City under the direction of Dr.
R. A. Heritage, musical director of
Chautauqua. The auditorium was
crowded and the programme was very
creditably carried out. The soloists

Roberts, of Salem, and chorus, and Mr.
Arthur Von Jessen was at the piano.
The children were in costume and the
tableaux, with flower girls, maids of
honor, crown bearers and choruses
formed a charming picture. "The
Anvil Chorus," from II Trovatore, was
given as an Intermezzo, with three
