DENSE FOG PROVES ' HINDRANCE TO SHIPS ' ON TRIP UP COAST Vessels Compelled to Pick Their Way Through Ocean and Into "Columbia River, WHALE NARROWLY MISSED Ocean Monster Has Narrow Escape - rrom Being- Bit While Taking a XJtU Quiet SUe?. With a dense fog hanging over the Oregon coast and hiding the mouth "bit the river, Portland bound vessels are toeing obliged to feel their way Into the Columbia. So thick was the fog during the b passage of the steamer Daisy, which reached couch street dock from Ban Francisco this morning, that she missed running down a sleeping, whale by the narrow margin of three feet. Captain E.i M. Smith, her master, was on the bridge at the time, seeing the -big fellow just as It awoke and flipped ouf the path of the oncom ing Daisy. V Whales are many, according to the captain, at this season of the year, while from Grays Harbor to Cape Argo the path of steamers 1 crossed again and again by monstrous sharks fully 40 feet in length. "Their fins alone are visible," de clared Captain Smith this morning, "Sticking out of th water for fully six feet." ' Fifteen miles off Fort Bragg the Daisy passed the schooner A. M. Bax ter, bound from Fort Bragg to Syd ney with lumber. After discharging her Cargo consigned in Care of the Dodge Steamship company, she will go toSt. Helens, Westport and Knapp ton to load lumber, Captain Smith will leave the steam er at Knappton to take a month s va cation at Ms home m Aberdeen, his first In five years. His mate, Gus Schults, will assume command of the Vessel during his absence. 'The Standard Oil tanker Atlas, with barge 91 in tow, is fogbound off the mouth of the rivef, according to re port received by the Merchants' JCx !hanse. , r - CHAMrOECi COMPLETES TASK Digs Wall Foundation in City Locke.

LOCAL 41 D IS SECURED Choice Plants Will Be Supplied and landscape Artists' Service Given Ttajt ot Chars'. Plans are being made for rose gar dens in Portland that will excel tut Jules Graveraux gardens in Paris, the most famous in the world, and by very much surpass the national rose gar dens, at Arlington, opposite Washing ton, D. C. The plan is fostered by the Ameri can Rose society and prominent Port land rose culturists. It has been found by scientific tests and experimentation that Portland has the most ideal conditions soil, climate and location for perfect rose produc tion in the world. Choice Plants Premised, Robert Pyle, vibe president of the American Rose society, will arrive In Portland next Saturday afternoon. He will take up with the City the matter of supplying the necessary ground in a suitable location. He offers to supply without cost all the varieties of roses known of in the rose gardens of all nations. Advice will be given as to laying out the gardens. Mr., Pyle Is the creator of the Arlington rose garden. Wallace R. Pierson, president .of ths American Rose society, has offered ths city free service of landscape archi tects, expert in designing rose gardens. , Offer Is Made. George C. Thomas Jr., whose father, was a partner Of J. Pierpont Mor gan firm, and who is One of the most prominent amateur rose culturists in the United States, has of feted to trans fer all his seedling roses to Portland to be placed Jn the garden. J. A. Currey, well known Portland roue culturist, who has been active in rorwarding the present rose garden plan, saya that after the gardens arc established maintenance will not be more expensive than to keep up the same area of lawn, while Portland will be put in possession of the most fam ous floral feature in the world, suf ficient in itself to attract annual visitation by thousands of rose cul turists. 5n Francisco.

MASON Former European Manage 'of tho United l'ress - New York, Aug. 23. Italy's declara tion of war on Turkey is jtt princi pally to her failure against Austro Hungary. Italy muss compensate else where for the blood and treasure being; uselessly expended against Austria, and Turkey is the sacrifice. Italy now risks losing hef new Tripoli colony recently taken from the Mohammedans. This is doubtless why the Italians delayed entering the war. Hut confronted, -on ths isonso and ai pine fronts by deadlocks, the Rome government was comnelled to risk the possible loss of Tripoli. -Turkey has! enough soiaiers ror a Tripoli tan earn paign, but it is doubtful whether suf ficient ammunition can be spared at present, . If Bulgaria should enter the war on the side of the Germans, Turkey's mu nitions would be replenished. Then the chanoea are even that Tripoli will be retaken by the Turks. Italy may decline to participate in the Oalllpoli campaign, or at most, send only a small expeditionary fores to the Dar danelles." Then she may decide to Con centrate most of these forces along the, Smyrna coast where her chief in terests are centered.
