"t 2?" New 'York, June 4. (I. N. S.) An , armed passenger ship arrived e,t an i's American port after being held up ; abroad through damage sustained In ; , collision, witn a British cruiser. The American vess&i was nearly a week overdue, . " The collision occurred in an English port two weeks ago Sunday. The steamer's upperworks, stanchions and . ' . lifeboats on the port side were ripped away and she had to go into drydock , for repairs. Among the passengers arriving was ' Charle Edwards, captain of the Rock , - ingham, the frrst American armed Steamship to be torpedoed and sunk ' since the declaration of a state of war witn Germany. BB Vessels of All Kinds Must Be Listed With the Government. Every vessel from the smallest mo torboat to the biggest vessel plying the waters of the United States must register, according to recent orders made try the United States navy. A registration office is to be ope'hed here shortly, as well as in many othe1 points in the Northwest. The orders received today are as follows: 1. The commandant of the Thir teenth naval di3trict has received In structions from the-nawy department directing that immediate steps be taken to license all vessels engaged in the navigation of waters comprised in naval districts or in the navigation of defensive sea areas. Persons tak ing out such licenses must submit sat isfactory references as to intentions, loyalty, etc. Licenses must be car ried on board the vessel for which is sued. Licenses for vesseds belonging to yacht or boat clubs, or to a com pany, may be obtained through such club or company. 2. The navy department has no in tention of placing undue restriction?1 on traffic, but must be cognizant of the character of the vessels navigating the waters of the United States. 3. The. penalty for violating the reg ulations prescribed for defensive sea areas is,- laid down in paragraph IX of the regulations approved by the president. It is not clear that any pen alty whatsoever can be prescribed for failure to carrv a license from the commandant, but vessels neglecting to do so may be detained and sent, in to the nearest port for examination, pro vided that in the judgment of the boarding officer suoh course is neces sary and' desirable. and .Scout patriotic fa More than 60 members of the vari ous companies of scouts spent Deco ration day decorating a corner of the city with a large potato patch which, when it is completed will take in more than 25 ares. James E. Brock way, scout executive, took charge of the work. The work of the day began with cutting the potatoes aid soaking them all in an antiseptic solution of corrosive sublimate to rernove bugs and germs so that the plants will have a good chance to grow. The plowing and harrowing had been done horses and an operator, by the Oliver Plow company. The farm i's distinctly a cooperative enterprise. The land Is donated by the Ladd Estate company the plow ing and harrowing done by the West ern Farquahr Machine. F.- A. Free man and R. M. Wade companies. S. B. Hall, county agriculturist, has supervised tho scientific side of the v.-ork so as to Insure the best possi ble yield from the land. The Shell Oil company has contributed 100 gal lons of distillate and all the greases and oils tho boys will need, and the residents of Eastmoreland have con- neers. a letter asking for a discussion of his attitude regarding paving prob lems. Inasmuch as it was received at si-ch a late hour, Mr. Dltck makes his reply in the form of an open letter to Mr. Newell as follows: Dear Sir: I aru in receipt of a letter Jted May 31. 1 1 7. from the secretary of the Oregon Society of Engineers. requeMInK me to make statement as to my attitude on the following points, substantially in the following form: 1 The olletlon of mich informa tion as to contractors' costs a will ad vise the citltens of the actual cost of pavements, and. 2 The rejection of all bids on pav ing if the prices bid Indicate, according to records so kept nd adequately maintained, a probable profit of more than 20 per cent. Cost Xeepiag Ssaeatial In answer to the first question, it has been my consistent contention in the last four budget discussions that prop er inspection and cost-keeping of all elements or public work was essential to an efficient administration of the department of public works. I hae not been able to convince the council entirely that this was an et-sentlal to a succesful administration, but I 'Shall continue to maintain this attitude It I am present officially at any other budget discussion. As to the second, it is not generally known that under our present improve ment procedure there are many ele ments of uncertainty as to contractor costs in executing contracts. I might name among them the long delay Be tween signing of contract and comple tion of underground work, which must be done before pavement construction begins, the chance that remonstrances , on the acceptance may seriously dlay Issuance of warrants, ana tne au-ioo-frequent postponement of entry of s sessment on the Hen dockets through objections by property owners, alway keeping in mind that no payment of Improvement warrants Issued to con tractors Is possible until the fund cov ering the particular Improvement 1" created through money payments an l the sale of Improvement bonds. In ad dition to these, the contractor receive no pavment for work done until the contract is completed and until all re monstrances against the work anl against the assessment are removed, paymrata Often Belayed Frequently It happens that remon strances delay cas'.i payment to the contractor for from one to thro: months. Price are also dependent upon the volume of construction wor' awarded in any paving year.
