After June S8. none but American bottoms or United States transrjorts can engage in the work of transport ing government supplies for the use of the army or navy, and that is tup- posed to be the reason the bids sub mitted by the Portland firms, provid ing for the carrying of lumber from Portland to the Philippines, have not oeen acted up'on favorably. The ves sels offered by Portland firms fly the flags of foreign nations, and in order to comply with the law as It now stands It would be necessary for them to ar rive irom some aisiani port, tftKe on the lumber and clear before June 28, and it is presumed that it would be Impossible for them to do so. The following excerpts from the law have been received at the customs house: "Tour attention is directed to the act approved April 28, 1904, entitled 'An act to require the employment of vessels of the United States for public purposes, which reads as follows: Be It enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem bled, that vessels of the United States or belonging to the United States, and no others shall be employed In the transportation by sea of coal, provis ions, fodder, or supplies of any descrip tion, purchused pursuant to law, for the use of the army or navy, unless the! president shall find that the rates of freight charges by such vessels are excessive and unreasonable, In which case contracts shall be made under the law as It now exists; provided, that no greater charges be mada by such ves sels for transportation of articles for the use of the said army and navy than are made by such vessels for transportation of like goods for private parties or companies. 'That this act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.' It is thought that with the above law In mind Quartermaster General Humphrey concluded, before taking any action on the Portland bids, or rather after holding them for seven or eight days, without any notification to the local bidders, asked for tenders of American tonnage from Puget sound. and Clark Centennial Exposition, which will be held at Portland In 1905 to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the exploration of the Oregon country1 by Captain Lewis and Clark, commanding a government expedition which had been commissioned by President Jet-ferson.

Great Crowds Attsnd Deliberations of the Chamber of Deputies. Paris, May 27. After an exciting de bate In which Premier Combes and Foreign Minister Dellcasse set forth the action of the government toward the Vatican, the chamber of deputies today approved the course of the government In recalling M. Nlsard, ambassador to the Vatican, and rejected all the pro posals for the immediate dissolution of resolutions between the church and the state. The debate attracted unusual atten tlon and great crowds were present, In eluding Ambassodar Porter and other members of the diplomatic corps. "The recall of M. Nlasrd," said Premier Combes, "means that we will not allow papacy to Intermeddle In out- International relations, and we intend to have done, once for all, with the superannuated fiction of temporal power, which disappeared 34 years ago, "Seeing how the concordat Is dully observed, or rather violated by the church," continued thfr premier, "some solution is necessary. We can no long er remain in this situation without bringing it to an issue." Can You Improve This? It is not very well known that in the ball of one of the great colleges of England, there hangs a frame en closing a few sentences of which Abraham Lincoln Is the author. They are considered the best English that was ever written. Tou or I might read them over and call them very simple Indeed. And they are so simple that any child who reads at all can read and understand them. That Is one thing that makes them great. It was his being simple and plain that made Lincoln himself great. Now here is a little paragraph by Lincoln which he made a rule of his conduct. Suppose you try to write it over and see how much you can im prove it. See If each word is the right one, and try to find a better word for the place. Notice how simple this Is, ASTORIA- IRON WORKS JOHN r0X.PrM.snd Ropt. F. L. tllSHOr.rWcreUsry A.
