Htayc You, Ever Thought cf the
Startling Contrast of the Frigate of
1812 and the ' Battleshiplof 1905?
GOULD on of Admiral Togo's battleships, like the Anhi or
the Mlkasa, be anchored alongside one of the valiant frigates
of the War of 1812. like the Constitution or the United States,
in some quiet harbor, the world would have a speaking picture of
the development of century. - . . k 1 . " '
Ninety years ago, - throughout the country the names .Decatur,
Jones and Lawrence were toasted at every table were sung from
the forecastle tq the drawing-room, from the wayside tavern to
the stage of the city playhouse. - - , . - , ,
As Togo today, makes history as his victory marks the complete
circuit of advancement which began originally at the eastern frontier
. of the world so the stiff little frigates fastened open the. door of
that advancement to spresd westward through America. Vessels
of less than a thousand tons carrying eighteen to thirty-eight guns
throwing twelve-pounders and thirty-pound carronades these were
the great battleships of the past I ' ' 4 1 v. - 5
Mere pigmies of the sea compared with Togo's 15,000-ton bettle
shipe, with their twelve-inch projectiles.
Battles were fought under great spreads of sail and at distances
of a pistol shot A mile of open wster between war vessels meant
almost impossible marksmanship whereas ten and twelve miles
now is not an unusual distance for opening, fire.' Yet these old
frigates meant fife tq, Japan, as well as to America, for it was with
a fleet of them that Commodore Perry first sailed to Japan and
forced his treaties upon the Shogun which resulted in the open
ing of that country to modern civilisation. It has been a marvel
oua progress! And the same, marvelous progress has marked the
-development of trade. The house of OLDS, WORTMAN ft KINO'
founded twenty-eight years ago is one of Portland's pioneer
houses, in fact; is often referred to aa the "Old Homestead Store.
' How it has kept pace with progress in the manufacture and sale of
good merchandise ' everything pertaining to - personal weae.-and '
; household use is a "matter of record today. It holds today the
premier position among coast stores Portland's largest, foremost
and beet. Givers of best values, distributors of best merchandise,
