'MONDAY. OCTOBER 11. lZZb. THE .OREGON-DAILY; JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. HOLMAN PROPOSAL VOTED DOWN BY HOYT AND MUCK County Commissioner Holman in troduced a motion at today's ses sion of the board calling: for the re taining of Harrington. Howard & Ash to make a last semi-annual in fection of the (feroadway. Burn aide, Morrison ' and Hawthorne bridges, make plans for necessary repairs and assist in making .up the bridge budget, for which the county would pay $1500 a year. This mo tion was voted down by Commission ers Hoyt and Muck; on the ground that local engineers should be given opportunity to do this work. Commissioner Holman'i position was that as the commissioners have decided to make no move toward securing a new Burnslde bridge, basing this decision mainly on a report made by Harrington, Howard At Ash. the logical thing would be to make that firm responsible for the inspection of this structure, as well as the others. In a discussion of bridge repairs, the county consmiHsioners approved a plan for the elimination of the sharp curve in the tracks of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company at the west end of the Morrison street bridge, gtving better service for automobile traffic and permitting the passage of street cars at that point.

PORTLAND MAY GET WARSHIP OREGON "If the state of Oregon will pro vide a sufficient number of naval reservists for active duty about thej battleship Oregon, that famous old craft will be assigned to Portland harbor." Such, In. essense. Is the word received today from thf navy department by Lieutenant Commander John A. Beclc with, who enhances the interest of the announcement that Oregon can have her famous old namesake for her own, with the news that the department is ready to assign to Portland harbor One of the Kagle boats,' 200 foot sub-chasers built by Henry Ford. . "There are 3000 naval reservists inac tive in Oregon," Beckwith, who is in charge of sub-district No. 2 of the Thir teenth naval district, says. "Among these, surely, we can find a sufficient number willing to reenter the service for permanent assignment to the Oregon. "The call is for men who held the lower ratings In war service enlisted men. A permanent crew to man the Eagle boat will require the services of 10 former petty officers." The recent importunings of Adjutant General George A. White and the long effort of other agencies to bring the Oregon to the home harbor will be suc cessful If the deaired number of reserv ists apply for assignment to her decks and, in addition, the Kagle boat will be sent to Portland. Those Interested may communicate with Lieutenant Commander Beckwith at S02 Fenton building and as soon as he Is assured sufficient interest he will so ad vise the navy department Lusk Proceeds to San Francisco in Lumber Firm Case First Assistant United States Attorney Hall S.

One) - election. You never had my vote be fore, but you are going to get it this time." . Kuney'a 'expression was but a sample of many others of similar import which were given to the senator during his two days visit In Newport and Toledo. But aside from those, and getting away from the circle which drew about the senator during his visit to Lincoln county and out among those who follow politics in that county and who might naturally be expected to be opposed to the senator's cause, yon- find the same viiwurcm cxpreBKQ cverywnere. . Public officials. business men men who have Harding buttons on their coat lapels and Handing pictures in the windows and on The walls or their offices and places Of business all of mem predict unamDenain s success in the county, and most of them say with out reservation that they are with him now and will be for him when election d$y comes on Novemoer 2. FRIENDSHIP RECALLED People of Lincoln county have known Senator Chamberlain for a long time as their personal friend and as" the friend and champion of their hopes and desires for harbor Improvement on Taqulna bay. He went to bat for them and their Jetty Improvement project when It had been turned down by the authorities at Washington in 1916, and after their plans had been thrown In the scrap heap of things discarded back there secured a rehearing for them out of which came a congressional appro priation for ' a survey of the harbor. Out of the survey came the subsequent appropriation of $418,000 for the con struction of the government's half of the Jetty Improvement, which work is now under way and nearly half Com pleted. More than that. Chamberlain stands with the people of the district In their contention that it Is now being unfairly treated by the demand of the -war de partment that the Port of Newport add $295,000 to the $418,000 which it has al ready raised and expended. CONGRESSIONAL INTENT He insists, as the port commissioners and people generally contend, that the government to all Intents and purposes made a binding contract with the por district pledging the government to complete the harbor improvement when ever the port district had raised and ex panded $418,000, that being half of the estimated cost of the work. The sena tor told the people of Newport and of Toledo while there that he knew this to have been the Intent of congress whea It authorized the work and granted the appropriation, and he promised them that when congress convenes In Decem ber that he will again go to the firing line for them in an attempt to put the project back on the basis intended In the first place. And aside from this circumstance the senator holds the confidence and esteem of Lincoln county people because of his consistent efforts made during the war for the comfort and welfare of the serv ice men. CONFIDENCE STRONG There are those in the county as there .are in all of the counties of the state who were the direct beneficiaries of his Interest, and these men, now home from the hospitals, the camps, the ' canton ments and the battlefields of France and the fathers and the mothers to whom they have returned still remem ber the efforts put forth In their behalf. Taking it all In all then few are to be found in Lincoln county to predict Chamberlain's defeat In that district In November. Not all of those who say he will win say they will vote for him, but that he will win without regard to how they may vote. It is expected, generally, in Lincoln county that he will carry that county.
