PORTUGAL PREPARES
FOR LONG CAMPAIGN
(United F're leased Wlre.l "
- Llfebon, Juiy 11. The Republican gov
ernment today began extensive war pre
parations, evidently convinced that the
royalist rising in northern Portugal
means a serious campaign. Though the
royalists are avoiding, regular battles,
they have thousands of guerillas in the
field, burning villages, picking off de
tached parties of Republican troops and
steadily "adding to their strength from
among the northern pro-royalist peas
antry. The Republican leadprs here say they
do not consider the situation dangerous
yet, but they admit that it will noon
become'so unless met vigorously. They
.are rushing reinforcements. 10 the north.
Many arrests of royalists are being
made here today.

' .' f Special to Th Journal.!
Sutherlin, Or., July 11. Considerable
excitement was caused here -Tuesday
when it "became known that a party of
H engineers had established a camp
west of town, Engineer Mitchell .far In
charge of the surveyors but Just what
railroad is bejiind the movement is not
definitely known. .' :
t'pon arrival Engineer Mitchell had a
long-eonferenee-with W E St. John;
local manager of the Luse Ijind & De
velopment company, during which a
study of the plat of the Sutherlin town
site was made. The engineers are now
running lines westward from the town
site and setting stakes, but are not fol
lowing the same" lines made by a party
of engineers here last fall. Engineer
Mitchell is reported to have made the
statement that the survey would ex
tend threugh Garden Valley, Coles Val
ley and east through Sutherlin Valley
to the Cascade range.
In the upper nd of the Sutherlin Val
ley there Is several thousand acres of
the finest timber, in the state. Recently
It was reported that soma Interests had
taken over the timber and that a large
sawmill would be built 111 Sutherlin In
the near future. That there Is some
foundation for this rumor is apparent
from the fact that timber cruisers were
encountered In the east end of the val
ley last week and they . made inquiry
regarding the distance to the sections
where the timber Is located. They were
strangers In this section and were amply
provided wTlfi camping outfit and pro
visions. -
Only a week ago the city council of
Sutherlin was asked for a franchise
through Calapoola street on which to
conduct high power electric wires. The
wires will extend from the big electric
plant at Winchester, recently taken over,
by A. Welch, who is thought to repre
sent the Hill interests. Pole holes are.
now being dug for this line.

PACIFIC COAST AT

Foreign Enemy Could Land
200,000 Men on Shores in

Reynolds; Need More Ships.
TIE
If we had war tomorrow we would
lose he Pacific coast and a foreign foe
could land a force of 200,000 on our
shores in hoursOixourseyJwe would
regain the territory thus wrested from
us at the first blow, but to do so would
cost so many millions of dollars that
an annual program of four battleships
would seem trivial. A battleship costs
money, but It is the cheapest kind
of insurance. Let me urge you citizens
of Portland to urge your representatives
in congress to work for a larger navy.
We should start building at least four
battleships a year for1 the next ten years.
Do this and there'll be no-war." -
In the foregoing word?, and In tones
that showed his earnestness and sincer
ity; Admiral Alfred Reynolds of the
Pacific reserve fleet opened an address
ta prominent citizens of PortlandAWho
attended a luncheon given the admiral
in the Imperial hotel yesterday after
noon by the Portland Elks" commission.
Liberal Polloy Urged.
Great interest was manifested in tin
speech of the admiral, as it was the
first time he has attempted a public
addTess since his arrival here Monday
afternoon.
"1 did not Intend to get into this
subject of upbuilding the navy," con
tinued the admiraL-''s I am an enthu
siast on it, and when I "ride by hobby I
sometimes forget to stop. But, gentle
men of Portland, I want you to use
your best efforts to have congress adopt
a liberal policy of battleship construc
tion. And the time to construct a battle
ship Is not after war has been declared,
but during peace.
"You can't buy a battleship in time
of war from any other nation, and you
can't build one in less than two years.
So the only way to do is to build plenty
of them while we can. The United
States, as far as her seaboard Is con
cerned, might as well be two nations.
A point on the Atlantic coast is now
distant from the corresponding point
on the Pacific coast something like
20,000 miles, and even after the Panama
canal Is completed the distance will be
10,000 miles.
"The only large fortifications we
have on the western coast are on the
sound and at San Francisco, and the rest
of the shore line is practically unpro
tected. A hostile army could be landed
at almost any point between.
"Once an army is landed It would
strike at the railroads, cutting off com
munication with the Atlantic. What
ships we have on the Pacific would offer
but small resistance to the fleets of
any one of a half dozen nations. We
would do our best, of course, but I
firmly believe that every last one of us
would go to Davy Pones' locker.
Modern Sea Fighters.
'"I am not an alarmist, but I cannot
impress on the people of this coast too
strongly the need of modern sea fight
ers. You say they are expensive, and
you are right; but don't forget that a
battleship U the best Insurance In' the
world and the cheapest." . ;
As the admiral Concluded he was
grwted by a hearty cheer. When he
leavts Portland he. will lie confident
that Portlanders are enthusiastic for a
larger avy, especially, for the Pacific
coast

"I own quite a little property near
