WASHINGTON". Sept. It The Pana ma Canal Is to be opened to traffic in the Fall of 1913. This statement was made officially at the Navy Depart ment today with an announcement that the Atlantic fleet would be rendei voused at Colon this Winter before the water Is turned .In. The, Navy's esti mate Is based on the latest report from the Army Engineers. Secretary Meyer, after consulting with the Isthmian Canal Commission, discovered that construction work on the canal had progressed so far that unless action was taken immediately there was a probability that the men of the fleet would have no opportunity to examine the connecting link be tween the two oceans beore it was in operation. The visit of the fleet will include railroad trips for rhe men throughout the Canal Zone. While there have been much specu lation and several prophecies concern ing the early opening of the canal, the Navy Department was the first to an nounce the surprising fact officially. The date of the opening originally was set for January 1. I'JIS, and engi neers for some time had doubted If the engineering difficulties could be over come to permit completion of the work by that date. The remaining work is aid to offer few obstacles. OUTLAW HUNT IS RESUMED John Tornow Believed to, Be in Ox bow Conntry Well Armed. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Sept. 14. Be lieving that John Tornow, the alleged slaver of John and Will Bauer and of Deputy Sheriffs Colin McKenzle and E. V. Elmer. Is near the Weatherwax ranch on the Wynooche River, Sheriff Edward Payette, Deputy A. I Fitzger ald and George dtory have left for the Oxbow country, well supplied with am munition and provisions. The reason for the Journey is a story told to the Sheriff last night by Louis Larson, provision carrier between the Wy nooche Falls and Aberdeen. According to Larson he had passed the Weatherwax ranch, bound for Ab erdeen, late yesterday. When within three miles of the falls and descend ing the Wishkah trail, he noticed a man standing near the foot of the hill. Nearing the stranger, he observed he was standing motionless. Close ob servation disclosed the fact that tha man was clad in tattered overalls, was barefooted, and the upper portion of his body was covered with an old blan ket. Four slits In the blanket allowed the projection of the man's head, arms and Winchester rifle. "The man did not seem to hear me when I approached," said Larson. "As the first pack horse passed him the man kicked at him. pushing him from the trail. I Jumped from my horse, and as I had no weapon, made a hasty re treat for shelter. When I came back the man had gone." Larson does not believe the man was Tornow. but as it has been several years since he saw Tornow the Sheriff believes he is mistaken and that the outlaw is again located. NEW BUILDINGS WILL RISE V.

The matter Is of such importance, however,' that I think the question of making an appropria tion lor tne onage enuuiu ix? reieiicu to the people under the Initiative for their decision." Cost Is Consideration. 'I am heartily in favor of the con struction of an interstate bridge," "said John B, Latourette, "but I do not know that the state at this time can afford to make the large appropriation that undoubtedly will be required. It is a deserving project, but It is of such great importance that the taxpayers should be freely consulted before the Legislature is asked to vote away their money. J. Woods Smith, who attended the sessions of the Trans-Mississippi Com mercial Congress at Salt Lake City, August 80, obtained the adoption by tht body of the following resolutions: "Whereas, this Trans - Mississippi Commercial Congress has Indorsed and encouraged the construction of flrst class roads throughout this broad terri tory, and "Whereas, It is necessary to connect the main arteries of these great pro posed highways crossing the many large streams and it is mtenaed to build one of the proposed highways from Vancouver, B. C, to San Diego, Cal., and it will be necessary to con nect this main highway through the states of Washington and Oregon by an interstate bridge over the Columbia River, therefore be it Bridge Movement Indorsed. "Resolved, By this "congress in ses sion assembled, that we heartily in dorse and recommend the construction of a first-class vehicle bridge across the Columbia River between the cities of Vancouver, Wash., and Portland, Or., as proposed by numerous citizens and commercial bodies in the said states and that it be made a connecting link In this proposed great Pacific highway from British Columbia to the Mexican line on the south, following the Pacific Coast line as near as possible." "Adoption of these resolutions." said Mr. Smith, "makes the interstate bridge a National improvement. It will be the connecting link in the great Pacific highway that will be used by tourists by the thousands who will come to the Coast in their touring cars. I believe that the Federal Government should pav one-third of the cost of this bridge, and Oregon and Washington the bal ance. I have always favored dredging Columbia Slough, and shall do every thing in my power to bring it about, whether elected to the State Senate or not. Portland needs this additional harbor space." Greakam Man Writes. In a letter W. Kronenberg, of Gresh am. said: "I am heartily in favor of any public improvement, especially that of an Interstate bridge, which will bind together two of fife greatest states In the Union, and the dredging of Colum bia Slough, which will mean a great deal for Portland and the surrounding country. I would favor a 20-year bond issue rather than an appropriation by the Legislature for our share of the cost of the bridge. "We are calling upon the Legisla ture to make a good many large ap propriations for various Improvements and Institutions, hence making a heavy state tare for the near future. - The State of Oregon, with its vast natural resources being opened up by railroads and electric, lines, will be able to han-, ii die the indebtedness brought upon it for such a good purpose, which will serve the people of the Pacific Coast for generations to come." Mr. Spencer Gives Approval. "Should' the writer be elected to, the State Legislature," wrote W. Irving Spencer, "you may rest assured that he will be in accord with any public im provement measure that will show re turns to the Dublic and taxpayers at large that are commensurate with the Investment." Benjamin Brick Wrote: "I am in hearty sympathy with your cause and am most emphatically in favor of the 'nterstate bridge across the Columbia River, between Vancouver and Port land, and If possible, I am even morn In favor of the dredging of Columbia Slongh. Not alone would the dredging of the slough be of great commercial Importance, but it also would act as a great sanitary blessing for the Bast Side, as an outlet for the sewerage system for Northeast Portland, as I am informed that there is natural drainage toward Columbia Slough." Slough Dredging Held Need. "I do not intend to make any cam paign," wrote O. B. Lent, "but permit me to say that I heartily favor the interstate bridge. As for dredging the Columbia Slough, I favor anything that will give Portland more and better harbor room."

Montague, "that the construction of an interstate bridge across the Colum bia River, between Portland and Van couver, strikes me as a very desirable Improvement, and as at present ad vised I am strongly In favor of the same. I had understood that the proj ect of dredging Columbia Slough was for the Federal authorities. I see no reason why an appropriation properly should not be made for that purpose, and I should be very glad to urge the same if elected." Mr. Olson Is Advocate. Conrad P. Olson strongly advocated the Interstate bridge 'and the dredging of the siough. He pointed out that Portland will need more harbor space to accommodate the great industries. However, Mr. Olson expressed the opinion that Oregon and Washington must furnish money for the bridge, and not depend on the Federal Government, as the Federal Government had never been known to aid In the erection of a bridge. M. J. Murnane. and A. P. Appelgren Indorsed the Interstate bridge and dredging of the slough. It was the sentiment of the North Portland Commercial Club that there should be thorough organization for urging the Interstate bridge and the dredging of Columbia Slough in the Legislature. The plan is to prepare a measure annexing the Columbia Slough district to the Port of Port land and have that body do the work.
