Early Purchasers Naturally Will Get the Pick of the Many Reductions South Carolinan, in Portland, Says Colonel G. W. Goethals 'Out-Germaned' Germans. SLIDES CAUSING TROUBLE THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JULY 18, 1913. FARM, NEAR SCAPPOOSE, FRIDAY WHEN FINE -NEW BARN WAS DEDICATED. 1 y ' VlMtor Was Impressed by Efficiency of General Ed-wards and Troop and tbe Strength, of De fense Fortifications. Colonel George W. Goethals has "out- Germaned" the Germans in efficiency In the construction of the Panama Canal, according to Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina, who arrived in Forx'and Friday to visit his daughter and son in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Harry w. Hughes, for a week. To this efficiency he credits the success of the tremendous undertaking: which he Inspected on his way to Portland. He tells of his visit as follows: "I spent a week In the Canal Zone, two days on the Atlantic or Gulf side and four days on the Pacific. Although in no way connected with the Army, except as a member of the appropria tion committee, I felt it my duty to get as much information as I could about actual conditions there. "J became enthusiastic by association with the Army officers, coast artillery officers .and those of the r gular in fantry. The artillerymen a f& working like beavers at both ends to get the fortifications in good condition, and al ready have in place, ready for business, many heavy mortars and 12 and 14-inch rifles, so I feel convinced that any hos tile fleet attempting to enter at either end would receive very warm treat ment, "General C H. Edwards is in com mand of the forces on the isthmus, and he laid himself out to have me see and know what the Army needs are. Hav ing known General Edwards in Wash ington for many years I was not sur prised at the grasp and earnestness which he displayed. "But notwithstanding the fact that I was an invalid, so to speak, by sheer will power I was able to stand up under the strain. OeneraJ Edwards Right Man. "I visited the camp of the Third In fantry, detailed on the south side of the Canal, and became convinced that Gen eral Edwards Is the right man for the job on the isthmus. "He is prepared to repel any invader from any source whatsoever, be he Ger man, Jap or what not. "Captain Hugh Rodman, of the United States Navy, In charge of the special duty of putting ships through the Canal, then took me in hand, and we ran down to tiatun dam on a special motorcar belonging to the I. C C. which means, on the isthmus, Isthmian Conal Commission, and not Interstate Com merce Commission. "I returned through the Canal on a tugboat part of tbe way through Gatun Lake. Then Captain Rodman took me in a steam launch up the Chagres River as far as I cared to go, after which we took a steam launch and continued our journey by water to Pedro Miguel, from where we returned to- Balboa, Panama, in a motorcar. Thus I have had an exceptional opportunity to view me uanal from all angles. "I saw from the top of Culebra cut, having been carried up the side of the mountain in an Army ambulance. "Cracks 100 or more yards from the canal brink werehown us, and I saw earth sliding down on the south side from the top into the canal itself. "So I have seen it from the water and from 300 feet above the water. I am thoroughly satisfied that it will take a long time how long I do not for the earth to be so stabilized an to render the canal permanently navigable. Mountain SUUInK In. "The engineers believe eight months is enough, when they hope that the expense of dredging will cease. Of course I do not presume to put my judgment against theirs, but the cracks in tl?e earth on the north side of the canal indicate that the mountain is moving toward the water, elowly caus ing the mud to press up from the bottom of the canal, and dredges are constantly at work four or five of mem taking out this material. I make a crude guess that it will require two or three years more and several million dollars before this work will be completed. Since the 22,000-ton Finland came through the 'canal, on wnicn I sailed for San Francisco, enough earth has slid into It to pre vent me iiroonland, her sister ship, from following, and I doubt seriously wnetner the three battleships on which the Annapolis cadets are to visit the exposition will get through safely. I was much impressed with the wisdom of President Wilson in not per mitting our battleships to go through the canal at this time, as they might have been prevented from returning to ins Atlantic. Aamirai Jtousseau had shown me the Gatun dam before I left Colon. i am not see uoionei uoetnals on the Isthmus, because he was in the United States at the time, but I did see Colonel Harding, his assistant. I be came impressed with one thing, after talking with some ot my old South C olina friends whom I found there, thi Colonel Goethals has had one idea prmlnate efficiency. has out-Germaned the Germans in V, great work, and if a man was sentJo the canal who did not make good. Colonel Goethals told him to move on. It has been his religion. "The work impresses one in its mag nitude and greatness at every step taken, and. In expressing my opinion, I believe it is as permanent as human energy and skill and brains can make it. "Science has lent its aid, and modern engineering, with American leadership, has accomplished a stupendous task." ((: - - - iv" C-i -'Sir v-r-: -.- 1 III i i b ; . , . : ill 1 1 1 1 L 1 ' dr m !

ROAD WORK IS UNDER WAY Process- of Hard Surfacing Slakes ' Progress In Gresham Districts. GRESHAM, Or.. July 17. (Special.) The work of hard surfacing the Towell Valley road was bejrun Thurs day morning: a short distance east of Kast Eighty-second street. The mac- fcdam is being "spiked" in order that It may be removed to allow the War- rentte composition to be laid. A new device, a plow weighing six tons. Is used to break up the macadam surface. The plow is drawn by a large roller which will later be used to roll the new pavement. The camps located at Jenne and the Base Line road crossing are nearly ready to begin operations. Quarters for the crews have been built.1 and men are being assembled at'the two camps. The same conditions exist at Fairvlew where work is being done on the Sandy road. The work on the Sandy road was begun at East Eighty-second street and about one mile of pavement has been laid. More than 500 people gathered at the home of P. A. Frakes, a pioneer stockman of Scappoose. early Friday night to dedicate what is declared to be the best equipped and most modern barn in the state. More than 500 peo ple reluctantly left the scene of the dedication early Saturday morning after they had united in giving the Frakes household three rousing cheers for their royal hospitality and after they had admired and danced In this latest monument of Mr. Frakes' indus try and perservprance. Pioneer hospitality was the order of the day. and men, women and children from all the country round attended. 'Invited guests included Governor Withycombe. and only pressing busi ness prevented his attendance. . Of course the barn dance was the center of interest, and from 0 until 4 o'clock 250 couples waltzed, scottisched. two-stepped and quadrilled In true old- fashioned style. Barn Modern In All Details. The barn Is thoroughly modern, and every detail has been carefully planned by the owner. The cow has received every consideration, ana in Mr. r rakes own words. "The cattle have made the money for us. so they are entitled to a reward," is found the reason for the thoroughness of the work. The laOOO iarn is 126x64 feet, con tains stalls for 85 head of cattle and five head of horses, and the loft will house ZOO tons -of hay. The floor of tha barn is of concrete and the stall floors have been laid with cork brick. rem have been proviaea ror every emergency that comes on the ranch for Mr. Frakea has studied barns all over the country and has Injected h own ideas into his planning, so thi his barn is absolutely complete. The posts that form the corners of the emergency pens are sunk three feet in the concrete floor and the stalls are so substantially built that an 111 tempered horse or a mad bull can kick or lunge for hours without any notice able results. Ventilation Is Beat Possible. None of the woodwork on the ground floor rises more than four feet above the floor, thus giving plenty of room for the best ventilation. Tt will be an impossibility for Mr. Frakes' new barn to become musty and ill-smelling, for ventilation is possible even in the worst weather. The excel lent sanitation and the perfect .ventila tion have put this new barn in a class by itself. Mr. Frakes moved to the place where he sow livea 32 years ago, and from an Mr. Frakes has captured sweepstakes. gold medals and silver cups, and hia Holstelns are famous throughout the entire 'West. Twenty gallons of cream are shipped daily to Portland from the Frakes Lake View farm, and chickens and eggs also are daily consigned to Portland consumers. Mr. Frakes' farm is on the hanks of the Wllamette slough, and four times since going there he has had to pick up bag and baggage and get out of the way of the Spring freshets. .Kach return has meant increased hard work. but Mr. Frakes said: "Like mud-dauber birds, when our place has been de stroyed by the floods we have returned and built it up again." In the flood of '94 the water stood 11 feet deep on the spot where hie house now stands. ANNUAL CRUISE FIXED .NAVAL MILITIA Ml I.I, SAIL OX AL BAXY JULY 36 FOR CALIFORNIA.
