Society of Citizens to Be I'oraed to
Bring Famous Craft Here
and Guarantee Upkeep.
"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. You people of
the west have the pep to put over this
thing and you

All the members of the joint naval
affairs committee of the senate and
house, the navy officers and their
aides were present at the luncheon.
There was a creditable attendance of
business men.
United States Senator Ball of Del
aware was the first speaker intro
duced by Mayor Baker. He spoke in
glowing terms of the work which has
been done in Portland and Astoria in
preparing for the great era of ship
ping which he said is about to come,
and urged continued activity along
this line.
"As a member of this commission,
I visited Astoria and vicinity yester
day," said Senator Ball. "I must say
that It was a revelation to rae to note
the wonderful work done in -that city
of perhaps 20,000 population toward
helping themselves. People who help
themselves may always be sure of
help from others.
Portland Situation Surprises. -
"Then, on our Inspection of Port

evidences of the vast expenditures
and exceptionally good work which
you people in this city have done
toward equipping your port for fu
ture great shipping activities.

Crusade for Membership So Far
Shows Good Results, but More "
Workers Are Needed.
The offer of a gold wrist watch to
the member of the women's auxiliary
of Portland post of the American
Legion who brings in the most mem
bers in the drive of the American Red
Cross, was made late yesterday, fol
lowing a meeting of the legion ad
visory committee for the fourth Red
Cross rollcall. Those who decided to
offer the additional 'ncentive for
workers were Cassius R. Peck, James ,
K. Bam and Merle a. Campbell.
Latest totals last night for the first
three days of the fortnight's cam
paigns for 60,000 members showed 4997 I
new enrollments. Hearty responses j
have been met by the faithful work-
era u ii nio juu, uui me campaign is
held back seriously by lack of suffi
cient workers. 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.
Early Indications are that the need
for ministrations by the Red Cross
to disabled and destitute ex-service
men and their families will be un
usually great this winter.
Solicitation for memberships among
the Chinese of Portland will be under
the direction of Mrs. Lucy Ooon,
among the Japanese under S. Ban and
I. Kayama, and among - the negro
population Tinder the supervision of
Mrs. E. D. Canady.
Flying squadrons of workers will
be organized this week to visit the
banks, hotels and large stores of the
city. Active co-operation of the
American Legion in the drive has
been pledged by O. L. Goodell, vice
state commander, and Frank Moore,
chairman of the benevolence commit
tee of Portland post.
