"We must huve the battleship Ore Eon" will be the slogan ot every man, woman and oiiiid in Portland from now until that most famous of 'all fighting craft of the United States navy rests In this harbor, according to announcement by Mayor Baker and H. B. Van Duzer. president of the Chamber of Commerce, following a luncheon in honor of the visiting delegation of the Joint naval com mittee of the senate and house. Ad miral Coontz and Rear-Admirals Parks and Capps, yesterday noon. Following: a brief speech by Fred A. Britten, representative -from Chi cago, formerly a resident of San Francisco with a warm spot in his heart for the west, the battleship Oregon idea seized upon those pres ent and became the chief topic of dis cussion, ending with announcement by Mayor Baker, presiding, that he will co-operate with the Chamber in naming a special committee to ' go into details and get the historic ves sel for this harbor. Unanimous vote of all attending the luncheon, ex pressed by rising, backed the propo sition. Ongog Association Proposed. Congressman Britten's suggestion, made at the luncheon and amplified later in an interview, is that the peo ple of Portland organize a battleship Oregon association, membership lh which could be placed probably as low as tl a year, and that many thou sands of citizens wjll gladly join this for the honor and to assist in defray ing whatever may prove to be the expenses of. upkeep, estimated at, from $10,000 to $30,000 a year. Admiral Coontz, who followed Con gressman Britten, said that he favors giving the Oregon to Portland and that, "it is high time something is being done about it." "If you do not busy yourselves at once and Bet that great prize historic . ship of our navy, someone else will, for someone is going to have it and that before, very long," said Admiral Coontz. "You should have it right here in your harbor, for that is where it belongs. It is a shame that it is rusting in the waters of Puget sound, - without doing anyone any good, when, if it were here, it could be not only a great attraction, but could as well house your reserve and act as a naval recruiting headquarters -In addition. The cost, whatever it may prove to be, will be. insignifi cant, compared to the wonderful amount of good to be accomplished." Project Considered Feasible. Congressman Britten was first to mention the subject of bringing the Oregon to Portland. He declared it to be a feasible thing and one in which all interests of the city may well unite. "I am deeply interested in seeing you people get the Oregon here," said Mr. Britten, after he had praised the work of the port commissions in hav ing laid well the foundations for fu ture greatness In shipping. "I intro duced a bill in congress, at the re bor right now. , If anyone can get it quest of your Mr. McArthur, author izing the transfer of the old ship ' the most famous fighting craft of our navy to you. I have noticed no appreciable action, however, since. But that ship should be in your har for you, 'Pat' McArthur can; I will help all I can and you can do a lot yourselves. "With the Oregon in your harbor, no visitor coming to your city would call his trip complete without having gone aboard and Inspected this famed battleship. She would be more pleas ureable than your library or your art gallery. Money Can Be Raised. "I suggest the organization at once of a battleship Oregon association, membership dues to be fixed at per haps a dollar a year, the funds to defray whatever expenses may accrue in Keeping the ship.

"As a member of this commission, I visited Astoria and vicinity yester day," said Senator Ball.

Heads of large con cerns in Portland have requested that workers be sent to their factories for solicitation, but there have been none to snd.
