Unless the war department hag al
ready committed itself to Ban Francisco,
tha transport to convey tha Nineteenth
infantry, now etatloned at Vancouver,
to the Phlllppinea will In all probability
ha brmia-h ta Pnrtland. I
Thla la the assuranoa given by Sena
tor J. H. Mltehelt who has taken up1 the
question in earnest and will personally
use hla Influence with tha department
headquartara at Washington. Ho Is now
gathering .ths' necessary information.
havtng thlamornlng written a totter to
Adjutant-Oeneral Brand for particulars.
Ha will leave for Washington at the end
of next week. He will make It one of
hla first acta to go to the department
headquartara and there press Portland's
claim and right to this transport
"I will braag thla transport to Port
land If aooh a thing la poaalhta," said
the senator this morning. I waa sur
prised to learn that-tha department was
considering any other port elnoe we
have all tba faollHiae her that could
possibly be urged In favor of San Pran
eiaco or any other port and. ara entitled
thla bustnaee. I do not Intend to
trust tha request and claims which I
shall maks to the department to a letter,
but will leave for Waahlngton In about
a week to gtva thla matter my personal
attention, I feel .safe In assuring the
people of Portland that unless tbs de
partment haa already committed iteelf
to som other port, this tranoport will
ha brought to Portland.
Senator Mitchell aald ha ha never
considered but that whan tba time cam
to transport this regiment to the Philip
pine tha steamship would be brought
ta Portland, since me harbor was equal
to any on tha Paelfle eoaat, and waa
surprised to learn that San Franelaoo
had even been considered by the depart
ment Aa soon aa h received notice to
tha contrary ha took tha matter up and
la preparing to present to tha quart er-master-ceneral
and uta war department
at Waantngton uiuclent facta and data
concerning Portland's haroor facilities
and tha eonventsnos for loading the
troopa here aa to convince them that
thla ta tha proper port for the em
barkation. And ha bellevue that Pert
land ta entitled to thla aonaldaraUon
rearardless of all ether clalmante.
The other members of ths Oregon con
gressional delegation will be consulted
In the matter and will Join m this re-
queet to tbe department Tha eituatlon
relative to the moving of the troopa
from tha barracka at Vancouver to tha
troopship will b laid before tha de
partment showing the great convenience
and ad van tare of thla port over Ban
Franelaoo. Tb question of providing
cargo for the ahtp will also be taken op
with tha headquartera and tha superior
fe-lll tie offered by Portland' wUl be
urged.
Senator Mitchell said he did not be
llevo the department had committed
Itself and that Portland would get the
