"'v'--: i Mr. Beckwlth wants a warship an chored In Portland's harbor at all times, and the best way to get It, he says, is ' to have a naval reserve, as do 'other coast cities. "One gentleman asked me today why I was -aiding the organization of. a i naval reserve," said Mr. Beckwlth. f'He said: W need no coast defense, If an enemy came, we could sink barges into the river and -mine it, ind thus keep the Invaders out " , ; - "Well, that Hounded all right to him, 'but,' said I, 'what's th use Of having a standing army or a national guard t Why not build a barb wire fence around the state? - probably, that would . keea them out, too.' . "And. too. I believe a naval reserve will prove a fine school for our young men. And itr will prov interesting to them." ' Commander John McNulty of the re serve received a letter yesterday from Captain George S. Shepherd stating that he had organised on division, with a membership of 40, At North Bend. Coos Bay, and that another division Is being organised at Marshfield. The North Bend ( division has a band. Capiatn Shepherd left for Coos Bay about a -week ago, and his proposition met with unanimous support there. The division being organised in Port land has already 223 enlisted men and a band of 4j. The band will soon have uniforms and then it will be ready, for a turnout It is desired to have some platfe for the musicians to meet and practice, and the reserve men hope some kind hearted . cltlxen will offer some room rent free for a time. ' The fund being subscribed will be used to secura uniforms and a place In which to stor the equipment and para -phernaUa that "will be furnished by the government, ALICE LONGWORTH : ,V 1 AS ELECTIONEER ' (By the International News 8ervfc.)

(Washington Burets of Th JonrnnL) ' Washington, Oct 29. -The war de partment, has found a way to supply money, for Biuslaw port improvements, under an amendment . adopted at the last session, which for a time, It seemod, woutd probably be interpreted at-null. District Engineer J. J. Morrow first took up the; matter with the department Then Senator Bourns conferred, and today- received a menwandum from Gen eral Blxby, chief engineer, sayjhg the department would be abl to adjust The terms of "such adjustment are In accordance with that provision, of th amendment requiring that, the port of Siuslaw commission execute a contract guaranteeing from local sources a sum equal to . that which i the: government supplies, ; $315,000, ths money to bo placed to the credit of the secretary of war. As soon as such guarantee Is made by the Stuslaw commission a contract for th construction of the north Jetty will be made, and the Stus law port commission will be permitted to proceed with v work on the t south Jetty; under th existing contract,' with Robert Wakefield, until congress meets, when an effort will be made tq procure legislation to permK local interests to complete the work and obtain credit therefor as part of the contribution required under the act of June 25, 1910. If such legislation shall be secured' the aforesaid guarantee will , be re duced by practically the full considera tion embraced in the contract: if not secured, the local agency will be" given credit for: all work .executed in line with the project up to the time the guarantee Is accepted by the secretary of war as satisfactory and the appro priation made , by congress becomes available for expenditure, and the obli gation under the guarantee will be re duced by the amount 'expended up ' to that time only. - It is suggested that the dlstrlot of ficer be directed so to inform the parties and also to Inform them that the department will recommend neces sary legislation along the lines .above indicated. . " t .. E. T. Johnson Inquires Con cerning Attorney General's Ideas on Amendment.' . Portland, Or., Oct 29. To'th Edi tor of Th Journal: I nptlcl In your Issu of last night-what purports to b an opinion of the attorney general of th stato of Oregon upon the amendment-offered by the liquor forces of th state, for the coming election, un der th nam of th Greater Oregon Horn Bui Association. : ' - I do not Ilk to question the veracity of a newspaper writer, but this "opin ion" is mighty queer. Just as able law- yers, and a number 6f them, have-glven opinions just th opposite of what this Is made to appear. If the attorney gen eral had given an opinion' of how a city would be affected in a precinct which had not, voted dry under the local op tion law, may be he would have said what he appears to hava tried to omit. I would like to ask this: Suppose th breaking of a criminal law regard ing the sals of liquor in a wet pre cinct of a municipality should occur under this Horn Rifle bill, would th stat authority hav jurisdiction? Could a grand jury investigate the sal of liquor to minors or women in a wet precinct In , a municipality, under ils Home Eul amandmentT ;.. On of three things: Either . at torney general. Is off, or th attornVy of th liquor men who A framed r. thl amendment are fools, or th people are supposed to be fools, And for this rea son: Four years ago tne people or Ore gon passed an amendment giving ' to municipalities the right to change or amend their charters, "subject to the constitution and criminal laws of the state." Now this "opinion" would mak on believ that this is In no wise changed by the ,Hom Rul j Bmend ment. If one did not look for th things It does not say. 1 But th liquor men have taken that very amendment, and added to it that "municipalities shall hav - exclusive control . of the liquor traffic' and if they already hav all they rwant whjr1 all this enormous ex pense tor pass their amendment? I be liev they knew what they were about and that the amendment if passed, would prove to mean just what it says. J In other Words. It is my opinion that instead 'of the "Drys" doing the lying In this campaign some on else Is on tb Job,, and this "oplnlpn." , whil It may b true in what It covers, by it omissions boosts the Mars and should be. beneath a state officer. . I have always known that the liq uor ' traffic exerted a strong Influence upon officials of license parties, but this looks like the limit. - Tours truly, ; E. T.

This includes street improvement water mains,: and sewer construction, and the grand total of the , amount' under con tract and ready' for contract is $7,4S3, 008. ' 'tvA--.-'-v-;;-iL'.: , . , . "nThe totahamount of contracts out is $8,109,758. This ; includes street, sewer and water main ' improvements. The amount for . wafer s mains is "$294,600; sewers, S897,99J n,l 'street improve rnents, $417,264, , These contracts run until shortly after: January I, 1911. v The street improvements oh which plans and specifications have been filed, but no contracts made, amount to $1, 738.266; sewers, $482,418, and water mains, $62,568. These will be held up by instructions from the mayor. The paving companles-JuLve been very active this season in soliciting work. and getting it through the council. Some companies , hav taken contrapts i for more than they , can possibly do In con tract time. The result is many miles of streets have : been torn up, and left open for an unreasonable time. A good illustration of this is on Schuyler street The Barber Asphalt company has the contract for hard sur facing thl8 street,, between East Fif teenth and Twenty-fourth streets. The contract price Is $18,100, and the con tract calls for the work to be com pleted November 1, , 1910. The street has been torn up three weeks, and the people in that vicinity are. greatly in convenienced. - The company cannot complete the . work In less than three weeks, and possibly longer. , The Bar ber Asphalt company now has work un der contract to the" amount $859,431., The Warren Construction company is another- paving concern that has a large amount of w.ork under contract This, company has built 14 , miles of hard surface street this season, and the work under contract amounts to about seven miles. , - . ' The Oregon. Ha ssam Paving company has many contracts, of which the largest is hard surfacing Lombard street,, from Westanna to Wabash avenue.- "The con tract p.rlce is $127,549.
