BIG INTERESTS IN LINE
Message Containing Original Hames
Measures Over Six Feet la X,enrtb;
Signatures Double Column.
"Have I received the fourth install
in snt of my omnibus telegram from
Portland on the Columbia river naval
base?" This was probably the inquiry
of Senator George E. Chamberlain and
his confreres at Washington this morn
ing. A telegram a day, with sev
eral millions of financial resources
represented by its signers, la tbe nov
el method adopted by the naval base
committee, which is cooperating heart
ily with the Portland -chamber of com
merce in the effort to impress offi
cial Washington of the earnestness of
the people of the Columbia river basin
on the question of adequate prepared
ness in its naval arm.
The message, containing the original
slgnatu.es. has grown to mammoth
pr- portions, and is an object of sur
prise to everybody to whom it is sub
mitted. It measures now over six
feet in length with the names in dou
ble column; in single column it would
be over 13 feet. The document con"
tains signatures of corporations, firms
and individuals, and represents in the
aggregate financial resources of up
wards of one billion dollars. It is the
message of the great business inter
ests of Oregon to Its delegates in con
gress and emphasizes the demand for
protection of the great harbor of the
Columbia,
Chairman F. C. Harley of the naval
base committee, who is actively on the
firing line at Washington, is being
constantly informed of every influence
being exerted in Lehalf of the Colum
bia naval base. The telegraphic in
formation being daily received from
him is of the most optimistic charac
ter. and it is felt that the current
week at Washington will witness a
revolution .n the official sentiment for
the protection of the Columbia river
as one of the essential gatoways of
the nation's western coast.

Of Children Made
County School Superintendent A. P.
Armstrong today Joined in the protest
against congress giving less than 40
per cent of the money to be derived
from the O. & C. land grant to the
common schocft fund of this state. He
sent the following- telegram to Con
gressman McArthur:
"The boys and girls of Oregon are
entitled to a liberal share of funds
which will be derived from the sale
of lands included in the Oregon and
California land grant tract. The
amount should not be less than 40 per
cent of the total received. Insist on
this; continuously, courageously, per
sistently, uncompromisingly, unyield
ingly, bull-headedly if necessary. You
cannot render the children of the state,
present and future, a greater or more
helpful service than successfully to
assist In accomplishing this fair and
Just treatment of them by congress.

Light & Power company, to the chair

Southern's board of directors does not
mean the absorption of the "farmers'
line" by the bigger corporation, ac
cording to Mr. Griffith.
"Inasmuch as the Portland Railway.
Light & Power company has guaran
teed the bonds of the Willamette Val
ley Southern, I felt that company
should have some check on expendi
tures of the company," Mr. Griffitl
said today.
"As a matter of fact, the Willam
ette valley Southern is an independ
ent line and will remain so. We are
going to allow the 'farmers' line' to
demonstrate whether or not a small
line can exist Independently of a
larger line and It it can we do not wish
to make the relationship any closer.
The directors of the company, how
ever, have had practically no expe
rience in railway financing, so that this
compony is gvnjj the lne the beneft of
ts experence."
The Willamette Valley Southern
elected its new directorate several days
ago, making Mr. Griffith chairman
and re-electing Grant B. Dimick of
Oregon City president.

The Chicks Explore the Yard.
AFTEK Yellow Puff had once ven
tured out Into the yard and bad
a pleasant walk without freezing
his toes, the other chicks were glad to
go. too. It was tiresome to stay In
the barn all the time and they loved
the fun of pecking at the hard soil.
Mary Jane hardly knew her little
chicks these days. They had lost all
their pretty yellow and white feathers
and their cunning ways. "1 don't see
why their mother keeps on making
such a fuss over them." said Mary
Jane to her . own mother one evening.
They are not even good looking any
more! I'd be ashamed to own chicks
that looked as scrawny and as skinny
as those do!"
But Mrs.. Hen didn't feel that way
indeed not! She was proud when
they lost their baby feathers, and
prouder still when they began to grow
bigger and more ungainly looking day
after day! u all depends- on one's
taste, you see; chicks that Mary Jane
thought too big for beauty, Mrs. Hen
thought very, very handsome.
And mother Hen liked to wander
out Into the yard. too.
Nothing she liked better than to
strut out the barn door and walk up
and down the garden in the sunshine
with her brood of fine chicks at her
heels.
"Here's where I get my reward,"
she said to herself one day. "I didn't
ft
"Cluck, cluck, cluck." (If you have
guessed that Mrs. Hen was vain,
you have guessed about right!)
like sitting on my nest in that cold
weather, but look at my babies! And
those stupid other hens are. just be
ginning to hatch their eggs. It will
be many a day before they have a
chick to walk out Into the yard with!
Cluck, cluck, cluck." (If . yea havs
guessed that Mrs. Hen was vain, you
have guessed abeut right!) , ,
"Now. today.- said Mrs. Hen. When
t: .y sallied forth from the barn In the
morning sunshine, "the air Is warm
and pleasant. Let's walk clear around
the house and explore. Tou will like
to see the whole yard. Then, per
haps, by the time we get back to the
garden, the sun- will have melted the
tip-top layer of soil so that we may
dig. for worms."
Now all the llttls chicks didn't un
derstand one thins about gardens, or
around the house, or yards, or digging
for works, or or anything. But they
did understand that they were to learn
something now. And they liked that.
They all replied. "Cheep, cheep!
Just as though they did understand,
and they followed their mother wher
ever she went.
So much was there to see, and so
many things that must be pecked at
and tested, that the whistles blew for
noon just as they family turned into
the back yard. .
And at that very minute Mary Jans
ran into the yard from school.
"Oh, mother, look at my chicks!"
sh cried. "May I feed them right
here?" And of course mother said that
she could. So the chicks were feJ
their first "back door-step" meal and
they liked it dear, me, YES1
