The fine "steel Norwegian steam
ship Selja entered this port yesterday
afternoon with Captain Olaf Lie on
her bridge, and Captain M. D. Staples
as her pilot She comes from La
Boca, in the Canal Zone, via Acapul
co, and made the voyage from the lat
ter port in 10 and one half days. She
is among the finest of the tramp fleet
of the world, of 4459 tons gross, and
2789 tons net She was built 15
months ago at Bergen, Norway, and
this is her first visit to Northwestern
waters. The ship is under charter to
Balfonr, Guthrie & Co., at Portland,
but it is not known as yet what she
will take out in way of cargo. She
went to the southern ports in search
of a coffee cargo but failed to secure
one, and took over the Portland char
ter gladly. The Sclja is equipped with
set of magnificent engines of the
same calibre and power as are used
in the great Hamburg liners, and the
vessel is kept in the primest condition
possible, and quite at variance with
the general ran of "tramps." She
will go up stream this morning.
The fine O. R. & N. packet T. J.
Potter did not get down jresterdaj
until late in the afternoon, the delay
being due to her unfortunate collis
ion with the tug No Wonder in the
Willamette on Tuesday, whereby the
latter vessel was sent to bottom. The
O. R- & N. people are having an ex
traordinary run of bad luck with their
handsome boats this winter, and it
is hoped the end of the unlucky per
iod is at hand. '
.The Lorline was practically on time
last evening, and when she went away
she had on board the following people
from this city: J. A. Fastabend, Ellis
M. Crawford and Mrs. T. B. Axman.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan, 27.
In the report of Lieut Col, Robert K
Evans of the army general staff, ex
ecutive Ofhfticer of the National Ri
fle Matches of 1908, there is much
interest to all concerned in this Naj
tional sport. Col. Evans has for two
years been in charge of these great
events and will probably be selected
as the executive officer for 1909, which
promises to be the greatest shooting
year this country has ever seen. His
observations and recommendations
are therefore worthy of the weighty
consideration which they will receive
at the hands of the War Department,
the National Board for Promotion of
Rifle Practice, and the National Rifle
Association, all of which are so deep
ly concerned with the success of the
rifle-shooting movement.
Colonel Evans makes a most careful
resume of the rules as they exist and
gives his recommendations for chang
es therein, which are mostly too tech
nical in character to be of general in
terest His observations concerning
the National Matches as a whole, how
ever, are of great importance because
of his experience, the facilities he has
had for discussion with riflemen of
all classes and the manifest care and
thoroughness which he has devoted
to the report
Prominent among his recommenda
tions is one for the acquiring of a Na
tional Rifle Range. The country is
one of the few, perhaps the only one
using high power rifles as means of
defence and offense, which does not
posses what might be termed in the
true sense of the world, a National
Rifle Range. The Army, it is true
has several more or less adequate,
but none of them can touch in extent
or equipment the great navy range at
Guantanamo. Several of the States
have ranges worthy of the name, as
that of New Jersey at Sea Girt and
that of Ohio at Camp Perry. But
when the United States government
holds its annual matches for the Ar
my, Navy, Marine Corps and National
Guard, the only sporting contest un
der the auspices of the government
and the greatest interstate sporting
event of the year, it Is compelled to
borrow the use of a rifle range from
one of the States. Col. Evans recom
mends that a National Range be ac
quired immediately and suggests the
purchase of the Camp ' Perry range,
'for the reason that it is believed not
to be in keeping with the dignity of
the United States to be under obliga
tions to a State for the loan of a range
for a great national event flnder the
management of the general govern
ment." Col. Evans points out that
the maximum number of teams which
can participate in the National Match
being one from each State or Terri
tory, and from the Infantry, Cavalry,
Navy, Marine Corps and the Military
and Naval Academies, is fifty- six.
Last year fifty teams participated
which were accommodated on the
Camp Perry range. But he urges that
the National Range should be large
enough to accommodate all teams
having the privilege of competing, and
suggests sixty targets in a bank at
short, wide and long ranges, with suf
ficient intervals between to admit of
simultaneous firing on two adjoining
ranges. He recommends eventually a
range sufficiently large to permit of
field firing under service conditions,
being at least five miles square. Such
a tract would comprise 25 square miles
or 16,000 acres and Col. Evans
mentions the fact that Germany with
an area less than that of Texas, main
tains twenty such ranges designed to
fulfil the conditions of having each
dimension greater than the range of
the rifle.
"The time is now ripe" says Col.
Evans, '"when the government should
acquire such ranges and institute
matches under service conditions, for
the purpose of practically demonstrat-

ing the differences between range fir
ing at known distances and under ar
tificial conditions all favorable, and
firing at unknown distances under
service conditions.'
Continuing Col. Evans points out ,
that at the last match there were pres-1
ent for duty in manning the range no
less than 170 officers and 859 enlisted
men, and the anarnalous situation is
presented "in which the State of Ohio
owns a fine range but has not the
necessary officers and men to man it, '
and on the other hand, the general
government has the officers and men, '
but does not own a creditable rifle
range on the enire Atlantic slope, and
finds it more difficult from year to
year to acquire suitable sites for them.'
Among other interesting recommen
dations is one that the service teams
shoot in s seperate special class and
that the match be shot as a militia
match; service teams' equalling or ex
ceeding the score of militia prize win
ners to receive an equal amount of
prize money and the three trophies to
go to the highest teams, irrespective

HOW THEY DELUGED WALL
STREET WHEN THE 1906
CRASH CAME
NEW YORK, January 27.-
One of the axioms of Wall street
philosophy is: The public buys at the
top and sells at the bottom. This ax
iom was shattered last year in the
panic. It is undoubtedly still true that
the public spectator, who trades on
margin, is most bullish near the top
of a boom and most bearish near the
bottom of a depression. There's a
psychological reason for this. But the
small investor, with savings in the
of whether service or militia. This, bank, has grown in financial wisdom
would be a similar arrangement to
that pursued with officers and en
listed men in the small arms competi
tions. Because of the injury to the
time-honored trophies, the National,
Hilton and Soldier of Marathon from
shipping and ' reshfpping each year,
Col. Evans recommends they be de
posited in the Capitol or National
Museum, or some other fitting place,
and a bronze medallion commemora
tive of the victory be given to the win-
in the past four years, He has learn
f that the country, with its enormous
resonrces of natural wealth, come out
of every panic with greater latent pos
sibilities that when the skies are the
darkest, then is the lime to wager by
wise investment that the country will
live; and that when everybody is con
vinced that this is the greatest com
mercial nation on earth, then h the
time to convert stocks into money.
