Whan we return - to .Portland we shall devote at least ' 1 days to an examination of the Columbia river jetty, tha work at The Dalles and ' at other points along tha western eoaat, : all of which are to profit by the appro priations mads and to be made in Waahlngton. Oregon is a great - and growing country and nothing Is too good for her In the matter of appropria tions. "By the way, Representative Jones of waahlngton, wno la also a msmoer or the rivers and harbors committee, is a firm and conscientious friend of Oregon. To hear him talk in behalf of this aeo tion you would think he had been born and raised right in the center of the tat.

In this way the committee's work is facili tated, reference to profile maps and data gathered by others do not have to be consulted and the Teault as a whole is quicker and much more satisfactory- Mr. Lorlmer was accompanied by his' business partner, P. "C. Gallagher, and his sons, William and Leonard. This is tha congressman's first .visit to Port land and he was much Impressed with both the sis and commercial activity of Portland. - The climate also caught his attention, which he contrasted laughingly -with Chicago's- wintry breeses which, still continue to blow off the lake..' ,,.

The men whom I have apoksn to at Governor's Island were said by their commanding officer to - be ' represent atives of tha highest type of Intelli gence and honesty to be found in the army and that anything they might Bay could not be questioned. - What the of ficer in question expected them to say yfcannot be judged, but what they did say bears. out the assertions that army life does not Improve some of the men who enlist ;',';..'.."' . .

"Of all the cases that havs com un der my observation the most flagrant was that of a captain at Columbus bar- racks. He employed a private to work for him' and when he wa transferred to Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, he had the - private transferred also. The man s I term of enlistment soon expired and he : reenllatad for a term of three years. Not one during these thro years of hie service did he perform , .single duty that might be expected of a soldier.
