, ' , Ban Francisco, July 1J. Captain Nets I
H. H. Borreson, master of the ill-fated
i schooner Expansion, has returned to Ban
. Francisco and told Of the wreck of the
fj schooner. The Expansion was lost on
May 28. 44 days after leaving- the Pa
: . clflc coast, on a reef near Suva. 1
": Captain Borreson had anchored his ves-
'.:'' Ml and was awaiting the pilot when he
wind suddenly died down and the craft
jl drifted onto the reef. She became a total
loss and was sold by the underwriters for
1000. Half of her cargo of case oil was
salvaged. The rest was lost.
' t The concrete steamer Faith arrived at
'' a Pacific port yesterday after having
made an average of nine' and one half
knots an hour on a voyage of 350 miles.
, Captain R. E. Connell was delighted with
; , the performance of the stone ship and
V i. declared that the bar pilots had pro
, p nounced her as one of the easiest to han-
die In their experience.
f ?: A measure of the increase In the ex
port business of the Port of San Fran
cisco, notwithstanding war conditions,
' 1 was indicated by the announcement yes
. ) terday of the King Coal company that
more steam vessels are being furnished
with coal for fuel than at any time In the
- . , last few years. The bunkering opera
i tlons of a port are considered by shipping
. men to be an unfailing index of the condi-
- tlon of the. trade. The King Coal com
?' pany expects to bring at least 30,000 tons
of coal from Utah during 'July. Some of
.' ' this will go to ships and the remainder
," to dealers for domestic use. The jump in
. quantity of coal demanded by the needs
. '- of the port and by householders can be
realised by comparison with importations
in other months of the year.
The total for the first six months of
the year in coal brought here by railways
.'only was 49,131. The King Coal com
pany always has a reserve of 40.000 tons
for bunkering.

rigging and peered over the gunwales
Into the deep, dark hulls that are to car
ry the needs of life and happiness to the
ends of the world but more especially
lo America's sons and daughters whose
lives are a barrier to Prussian aggres
sion. Mr. Schwab and Mr. Piex were told
that the three ships being outfitted at
the Coast plant would be ready for serv
ice soon, at least two of them In Au
gust Both made notes of the fact,
asked a multitude of questions and an
nounced their extreme pleasure at the
record of this and other Oregon yards.
Proad ef Oregon District
Asking first as to the. presence of suf
ficient structural steel. Mr. Schwab and
Mr. Piex Invaded the Columbia River
Shipbuilding corporation's plant and that
of the Northwest Steel company. They
were told that although there Is steel
on hand It is not In sufficient quantities
to permit capacity activity.
"We want 60 day bhlps from these
yards," Mr. Schwab said. "Sixty-day
ships will solve our problems on the
seas. Our steel mills, I must admit,
mighty close to their capacity output
right now. We'll relieve any condition
of shortage, just as rapidly and as ef
fectively as the producers will permit.
and In the meantime, I am very proud
personally of the Oregon district. You
are moving steel ships out In this dis
trict In a splendid way.
Your shipyards are comparable with
any in the United States. There are
none better, and I am frank when I say
that your men and your yards show a
great concentration of industry and a
better pace generally than do the build
ers on the Atlantic coast. .
Expect Big Tklsgs of Portland
"I Intend to keep every one of your
yards working to Its full capacity. I
am glad to do anything your people
think will help in speeding up their
progress. I want to do even the slight
est thing that will aid. It is my per
sonal desire to see the Portland steel
yards take the blue production pen
nant and keep it. That' would delight
me just as has the fact that your wood
yard, the Grant Smith-Porter company,
holds the wood production record. We
are bending every energy to keep the
yards supplied with steel, and are es
peclally directing our attention to sup
plying Pacific coast builders.
"Do you know that I expect 20 ships
of 8800 tons to be launched from the
Increased Columbia River company this
year? I expect and hope to realize
that record. Just think, that means $30,-
000,000 worth of. business from this one
yard In 12 months ! I also expect to
make some definite statement as to
the expansion of the Northwest Steel
company before I leave Portland. But
the Emergency Fleet corporation has
not already deposited money to finance
this extension.
Business Men Greet Visitor
"I haven't seen anywhere any more
clean, neat or better managed wood
shipyards than the one I saw here this
morning. In fact I never saw greater
activity nor seemingly better manage
ment than I have witnessed in your
yards today."
Portland went over the top today in
honor of the presence of its distinguished
visitors. The G. M. Standifer Construc
tion corporation started things at 9 a
m. when It put Into the water the first
of six hulls to be launched before the
day Is ended, thus establishing a record
that defies the world. Six wood hulls,
with a total tonnage of nearly 22.000
tons, will be the day's credit for the
Standifer company. The six ships have
been and will be launched at lVi hour
intervals throuKhout the day.
Business men gathered at a splendidly
appointed luncheon In honor of the vis
itors at 12 :30 at the Chamber of Com
merce, where the guests made Informal
talks. Shipping board and patriotic ban
ners were effectively combined in the
decorative scheme. They will spend the
afternoon viewing work in other ship
yards and at 6 o'clock will have a din
ner party as guests of J. R. Bowles at
the Arlington club.
Will Talk to Ship Workers Tonight
Mr. Schwab, Mr. Piez and party will
review a shlpworkers' parade from Lib
erty temple at 7 :30 this evening. They
will then go to Multnomah field where
the two men will talk to shipyard work
ers. The entire day Sunday will be
spent in conferences by appointment and
on a trip over -the Columbia river high
way. The Monday program provides
visits at other Portland shipyards and
outfitting plants and at noon the vis
itors will be luncheon guests of wood
shipbuilders. In the afternoon they will
hold conferences with shipbuilders and
will take dinner at the Arlington club
as guests of steel shipbuilders. They
leave Monday night fo Seattle. '
At the Columbia River plant this
morning Mr. Schwab met and instantly
recognized a laborer who had worked
for the steel magnate when he was first
coming into national prominence, at the
Braddock, Pa., mills, 30 years ago. The
director general put his arms about the
shoulders of his friend, took him by
the hand as he would a brother and con
flded his delight at the meeting.
Women Dellgiited With Roses
Mrs. Schwab, who. with Mrs. Plez, Is
one of the delightful members of the
party, was enthusiastic as she reached
Portland this morning.
"Oh, how well I remember those won
derful roses," she exclaimed as sh
called to mind the shower of blooms that
decorated her car upon; her first visit
to this city. "I shall never forget Port
land and I believe that your roses are
almost as wonderful as your great ships,
although Charles does not quite agree
with me.
"Your Journal photographer is. a per
son I must remember, too, for he said
he would not keep me more than five
minutes for a picture and he Is the first
photographer we have met on the trip
who has kept his word."
The personnel of the party of Emer
gency Fleet corporation officials which
reached Portland this morning to remain
until Monday night includes:
Charles M. Schwab, director general ;
Charles Pies, vice president ; C. W.
Cuthell, general counsel ; Dr. Charles
Eaton, chief of the national service sec
tion ; Mrs. Charles M. Schwab, Mrs.
Charles Plez, Miss Mary Honk, niece of
Mr. Schwab ; Dr. S. A. Brown, personal
physician to the director general ; J. A.
Schmldlapp, personal friend of Mr.
Schwab, from Cincinnati, Ohio; John
M. Miller, personal secretary to Mr.
Schwab; C. H. McCarthy, personal sec

Washington. -July 11. (U. P. The

of it by night and then go home.
.If the measure is passed and the house
Is agreeable a Joint resolution may send

Failing in this, it is the plan of house

no business shall be transacted until

insist, on fixing a definite date for a

The chief fight on the wire bill con
tinued today on efforts made to safe
guard the freedom of the press. Sen
ators Reed and Watson, failing to gain
the floor yesterday, planned to speak
today on amendments exempting news
wires from government control. Wat
son's amendment would exempt tele
phones also and probably will be re
fused. Reed would provide merely that
the president shall have the power to
prevent use of news wires for disloyal
purposes and this may be adopted.

TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
Orders for 40,000,000 feet . of long
fir timbers will be placed with Pacific
Northwest mills for construction of the
new type of 5000-ton ships on Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, according to R, B. Al

association.
These timbers run from 40 to 62 feet
In length. Additional orders are ex

San Francisco, July 13. 1. N. S.)
The Cliff House, famous hotel overhang

by the army that the dry zone within
the half mile limit surrounding military
establishments be made literally dry.
The police commission will formally re

It can be authoritatively stated that the

stored In Siberia. '
Paris, July 13. (I. N: S.) In accord
with President Wilson's plan for a
league of nations, French statesmen to
day suggested a society of allied na
tlons. Gaston Doumergue, former president
of the ministerial council, in discussing
the scheme, said :
"Our enemies have already consti
tuted a 'Mittel Europa, which In effect
is a veritable league of nations. In re
spect to both offensive and economic
matters it Is sufficiently powerful to
survive the war. Although composed of
only four states, It comprises almost
.half of Europe and is capable of pre
senting a solid and united minority at
the peace conference table. It is a real
and terrible danger."
Former Minister of Justice Bienvenu
Martin expressed the opinion that such a
society is feasible and would do away
with some of the former diplomatic er
rors. "But we must not lose sight of our
strength in prosecuting the war in the
course of the formation of such an or
ganization," M. Martin said.
M. Marcel Caichin, a Socialist mem
ber of the chamber of deputies, declared
that It is the first duty of the allies to
be united diplomatically in one solid
bloc, that the allied group of nfetftens
may be represented as a permanent dip

Entente Forces t Uurnin Coast
London, July 13. "Considerable en
tente forces' have been landed on the
Murman coast and are guarding the
railway to PetrogTad, It was authorita
tively learned here.
The landing was made at the request
of the inhabitants of Northern Russia,
and the object of the move is to assist
Russia. More entente forces are en
route to the Murman coat.
As a result of this landing, which has
been expected for some time, it will be
impossible for the Germans to occupy
and convert Into U-boat bases the ports
of Murmansk and Petchlng, which are
lce-frte throughout the year. Further
more the presence of allied troops on
the Murman coast prevents the Immedi
ate Isolation of Russia in the north by
the Germans. If the Germans aim to
bring about such an isolation they will
have to fight for it, and the Murman
coast will be the extreme northern wing
of a new "Eastern front."'
Dispatches from the northern regions
state that the power of the Bolshlvlkl
with their 60,000 non-fighting troops. Is
waning fast.
Mirbach's Assassin Executed
By Joseph Sbaples.
Stockholm. July 13. (U. P.) M. Alex
androvltch, one of the 'assassins of Ger
man Ambassador Mlrbach,.has been exe
cuted, according to a dispatch received
today from Moscow. The other assassin,
M. Bloomkln, has not been captured.
It la reported that Germany will also
demand the execution of Kamkoff and
Mile. Splrtdonova, two of the social
revolutionaries arrested in the Moscow
revolt which followed Mirbach's death.
Passengers arriving here on a boat
from Petrograd brought news of riots
in that city. They said that several
soldiers and workmen, led by Letters,
seized the Parshky arsenal and fought
the Red Guard for hours. They were
subdued only after an artillery bombard

Oregon's Work Appreciated
Oregon shipbuilders are not only doing
very greatly appreciated volume of
work in producing ships for the Emer
gency Fleet' corporation, but they are
sure to get every support, in the way
of new contracts, from the corporation.
that their building capacities will per
mit them to undertake.
These are the statements today of
Charles Piex. vice-president of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, who la
one of the distinguished officials who
arrived here this morning with Charles
m. scnwaD, director general of the
Emergency Fleet corporation.. Mr. Pies
was delighted upon an inspection of the
building plants this morning to learn
the reasons for , Portland construction
records.;-
"We will expect great things to con
tinue in this district when we have
completed plans for our 5000 ton wood
thing to show that such a ship is not
the proper thing to build, but that is
doubtful.
"I can announce with sincerity that
every capable wood ship builder in Ore
gon will continue to work at capacity
for the duration of the war. We are
not encouraging new Industries in wood
ship building, and our program will
automatically eliminate from the Indus
try builders who are not competent and
who are delivering Inferior vessels.
"It is pleasant to know that your
Columbia River and Northwest Steel
plants are adding to their facilities.
believe the Northwest Steel extension
will be authorized while we are in Port-'
land.
As to the steel ship program, every
thing to hasten the delivery of steel is
being -done. Fuel is the basis for the
delay in shipping steel, and transporta

their governments of President Wilson's
decision.
For military reasons American of
ficials refuse to sanction any reference
to the number of troops to be sent to
Russia's aid by Great Britain, France,
Japan or the United States.
It Is definitely known, however, that
troops will enter Siberia under order to
guard all supplies And property of the
allies and to aid Russians in preventing
depredations by armed Germans, recent
ly released from Siberian prison camps,
who are reported to be allied with law
less elements of the Bolshevist party,
Action to Head Off Germany
The state department has confirmed
reports that the Bolshevik government
at Petrograd had accepted the proposal
of Finland, advanced by Germany, that
peace parleys should be undertaken. Al
though this move has been considered
highly probable for weeks, the fact that
Germany has frankly assumed the posi
tion of guardian for each side to the
controversy came as a surprise in many
quarters here. The action of Finland,, it
is believed, is taken after receiving as
surances from Germany that the terms
of peace will be of no benefit to Russia.
The move of Germany emphasized the
need of quick action by the allies In aid
ing Russia to retain her position as a
nation and also, it is said. Is a powerful
menace to any plan by which the allies
could hope to protect the supplies and
population on the Murman coast.
Strength of Force Not Announced
President Wilson discussed Friday the
Russian situation with John Mott, a
member of the United States mission to
Russia after the revolution.
He also conferred with George Foster
Peabody, the New York banker. It is
assumed here that Messrs. Mott and
Peabody have been invited to be mem
bers of the Siberian commission.
In view of the difficulties confronting
a strong effort by the allies in Siberia.
m-eat interest attaches lo the exact
composition and strength of the armed
forces to be sent to viaaivortoic Dy tne
allies and the United States.
Although it is now assured that the
United States units will move quickly.
there is reason to believe that the geo
graphical factors win permit the British
to land troops In advance of those from
this country. As yet there Is no inti
mation of the exact strength of the Jap
anese unit to be moved from the camps,
where they are already mobollzed.
May TTeed I96,0 Troops
Nor is there any Information available
as to the route to be pursued by the
French units. It has been pointed out
that they could be moved by way of the
Panama canal, although some officials
are anxious to have them, pass through
the United States.
It is said the latter plan would admit
of the use of American vessels as trans
ports, which would also carry a large
quantity of supplies, such a move being
leas likely to interrupt the shipping
schedules of larger vessels wow in the
trade between the United Stales and
France.
Many military autnormes are con
vinced that lasting results can be
achieved in Siberia ,only by the use of
at least 300.000 troops. It can be said
that the plan accepted by President
Wilson does not contemplate the use of
a force of such size. It has been urged
that France. Great Britain and the
United States could easily place 70.000
men In Siberia and sustain them", and
that any further augmentation of ajmed
protection to allied interests could be
supplied by Japanese. . v .
Siberia and United State Agree
The latter can easily supply 400,000
trained men. These figures would be
possible only in the event of armed in
tervention, which is no part of the plan
adopted.
All consideration , of probable strength
of the allied forces is a matter, of con
jecture, for the United States and the
allies will be guided In the use of val
uable fighting forces solely by the neces
sity which may arise. . .V ' """ .
The message from the United States
to Russia will be' In line with. the poll

'Over Right-of-Way.
In order to k,eep the egg production up to
its maximum yield, one should dispose of
all the birds that are loafing on the Job.
These loafers can be told somewhat by
the external characteristics such as molt
ing, color of beak, legs and vent.
Egg production may also be retarded
by the hens being bothered with mites,
for the mite season is now at its height.
The experienced poultryman can easily
detect these pests If present in large num
bers. He will be aware of the fact by
a very peculiar odor. The best plan of
procedure at this season of the year Is
to carefully inspect all cracks In the
roosts and also their supports and when
any mites at all are found, get after
them with crude carbolic and kerosene
or perhaps better still with carboltneum.
The three best pens in each of the prin

Pete Bauer, 20 years old, was arrested
Friday afternoon on a warrant sworn to
by F. R. Foster, 67 years old, on
charge of assault and battery and was
sentenced In . the municipal court to
serve a day In Jail and pay a fine of
325. The entire Incident from the as
sault to the conviction occurred within
one hour.
According to Officer O. Nelson, the
young man was driving a team on the
Foster road near Lents and was evi
dently occupying more space with his
lumber wagon than was absolutely nec
essary. He refused to turn to one side
in order to allow Foster to pass in An
automobile. It was testified, and the
older man remonstrated. Bauer admit
ted that he climbed down from his seat
and hit the man with his fists, knock
Ing him to the ground. The policeman
tied the team to a pole and took both
men to the police station. Bauer has
been employed by the Inman-Poulsen
Lumber company for some time. Foster
owns and operates a small suburban
farm.
On Every Farm There
Should Be 100 Hens
Hippodrome Offers
Good Entertainment
Music and fun, or fun and music. Just
as It happens to appeal to you. are the
outstanding features of the end of the
week bill at the Hippodrome.
Willy Zimmerman, for Instance.: Is

whole show in himself. Running him 'a
close second in the fun-making line is
Martin Kamp. and Hugh Bayard and
Clara Inman put on a nifty song review
that goes with a sip. ,
Paul and Pauline put on a clever aerial
act, and Keefer and Dot Alberta put over
some good original entertainment. The
show closes with the Zlras. in their own
clever offering, and Margarita Fisher is
welcomed back home In her new photo
play de luxe, "The Square Deal."
There should be a 100 hens on every
farm In the United States, declares a
recent publication from the office of
the secretarw of agriculture. Circular
107. And we should obtain 100 eggs
from every hen. With approximately
6.000.000 farms that would mean 600.000
uuu nens ana ou.uuu.uuu.ooo eggs per
year according to the calcula
tlons of the writers. who then
add that that number of eggs consti
tutes a military resource not to be Ig
nored
One hundred hens on every farm Is
not a particularly big contract. There
Is hardly a farm in the United States
but could support that number of hens
practically on Its waste material and
without materially added cost. One
hundred hens to a farm la con
slderabiy less less tnan the average
number of hens 'to a farm In many of
the better poultry-producing sections of
the country. It is an average that could
be easily maintained in the sections of
the country where the average per
farm is now lower.
One hundred eggs from each hen.
while far below what could be obtained
with proper encouragemnt of fowls, is
is almost no air cell at the large end. and
the yolk outline is only faintly dls- ;
cernlble. 4 j
A fixed air-cell of to 3-16 Inch In
dept Indicates a fresh egg as eggs run In
general receipts. A larger alrcell with
a mobile lower line Indicates, according
to size and fluctuation, a stale egg, or
one becoming weak and watery.
Very small spots In an egg are usually
blood clots. Large spots, rings and
shadows are due to heat and germina
tion, and indicate decomposition in the
first stages. An egg that Is opaque ex
cept for a large fixed air cell contains
a chick dead at an advanced stage of In
cubation. An opaque egg with large air
cell having a mobile lower line Is in an
advanced stage of fluid decomposition.
Eggs showing slight spots or rings can
often be utilised by breaking them and
separating the bad part. Eggs that are
not offensively bad may be used for poul
try feed.
Right Location for
Your Poultry House
Select a location that has natural
drainage away from the building.
A.ary, porous soli, such as sand or
gravelly loam. Is preferable to a clay
sou.
In most localities the buildinr should
face the south, as this insures the great
est amount of sunlicht durinc the
winter
Allow at least two square feet of
floor space for each bird.
Proper ventilation and sunlight mean
a dry house and healthy birds-.
The partial open-front house In con
ceded to be the beet type for most sec
tion. The colony plan for housing poultry
may be adopted to good advantage on
many forms. tThls system does away
with the danger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, two feet and six inches
from the floor, with a dropping board
about eight inches below them.
Good roosts may be made of 2 by 2
inch material with upper edges rounded.
The nests may be placed on the side
walls or under, the dropping boards. It
Is best to have them darkened, as the
hens prefer a secluded place in which
to lay.

Bran and corn feed should be the basis
of poultry feed in consideration of
present prices, believe N. I. Harris,
superintedent of the Kansas Agricul
tural college poultry plant. As the
prices change it may be possible to
feed profitably more oats, provided they
are of good quality. They should be
used extensively for sprouting to fur
nish the green feed for the winter production.
A small amount of oil meal, cotton
seed meal, and beef scrap should form
part of the ration. At present prices
probably as good a ration as can be
fed consists of corn chop scattered in
dry litter In the morning, a bran mash
at noon, and a small amount of shorts.
cottonseed meal, and beef scrap. If It
Is desired the maeh may be fed dry
and the birds permitted to eat all they
desire throughout the afternoon. At
night during the cold weather they
should receive all the shelled corn they
will eat.

Chickens. In any general scheme of
poultry production, of course, must take
first place. They are best adapted to
considerably more than the average egg general conditions, take a wider range
of feeds and convert them, perhaps, with
the greatest margin of profit. Chickens.
better than any other class of poultry
utilize table scrape and the general run
of waste from the kitchen door, all the
way rrom apple to potato parings to
sour milk. Chickens far surpass all
other kinds of poultry In salvaging
waste grain from the stables, from the
shed or lot where the cattle are fed,
and from- hor pena. . During the winter
months on farms where any consider
able number of live stock are kept, the
hens would take their living from these
sources with only slight additional feed
ing from time to time. Chickens are
great destroyers of Insects, including
many injurious forms, in yard., pasture,
and orchard. They utilize alno many
grasses and weeds and seeds from the
same that would otherwise be of no use.
Except in Isolated inst-nces the JJsrt of
wisdom would be, undoubtedly to keep
more chickens than any other kind of
poultry combined, but there should be.
1n a majority or cases, some or an
the other common kinds of poultry.
