a naval reserve clubhouse. I believe
that Admiral i Coonts agrees that it
should come to Portland." "
Following this remark. Admiral Coonts
said that he Indorsed any movement that
would bring the Oregon to Portland, but
said that a certain small sum of money
would be needed fer maintenance.
FUNDS ABE WEEDED
lie said that It was Important that
the ship come: here and suggested that
some provision of funds be made for
the battleship thjs winter.
"Someone is going to get the battle
ship Oregon and .1 would like to see it
come ' to the ; fetate of Oregon," said
Coontz. "It is needed here as a militia
vessel and is of value as a treasure of
the Spanish American war."
Coontz 'was in charge of this district
during the war and complimented Port
land on us showing during the world
strife. He said he never had any doubt
about Oregon supplying her quota either
in men, ships or food supplies.
NAVAL AFFAIRS C05tMITTEE
PLEASED with tongue point
Conversion of the , Tongue Point site,,
on the lower Columbia river, into a naval
base only awaits the final deeding of the
designated property to the government
and the arrangement of a few minor do-
tails, which difficulties will not act as a
hindrance to the major program.
The congressional naval affairs com
mitteemen and naval officers who in
spected Tongue Point Friday Jointly ex
pressed this opinion after their return to
Portland . this , morning. To the few
members of the party who had not vis
Ited the site before, the trip was declared
a revelation." Those who had visited
the site before felt fully justified In their
trip: ;
This inspection trip was made to the
Columbia river site in connection with a
tour being made of Pacific coast naval
stations and is the first visit paid
Tongue Point since the appropriation
was made by- congress for the site.
MORE LAND HEEDED .
Opinion generally prevailed in the party
mat slightly more land than contem
plated when the original appropriation
was made would be needed. -t .
where the John Day river enters the
lower Columbia about 12 miles above
Astoria, the committeemen believed the
farthest inland boundary should be
placed. The remainder of the land
should embrace . the shoulder of land
known .as Tongue Point, this jutting
highland to act as a protection to the
base. .
The visitors were- guests cf tha As
toria Chamber of Commerce. Their re
ceptiori and entertainment were arranged
ny u. stone and President Sanborn
of .the chamber. Shortly after their
arrival they embarked on the river for
a water view of the site and later a trip
was made by automobile' to the John
uay river to give an outline from the
land side. , . . . -
Doubtless the committeemen were im
pressed wlth-; the general ground plan.
Arguments and data offered by the
Chamber , of commerce and business men
was attentively received, the visitors
aanerjng strictly to the business in
hand. ' ;
"It is a wonderful city with a thor
oughly modern municipal, pier and an
adjacent territory which should fill the
desire for a naval station in this dis
trict." was the comment of Senator I
IL Ball, chairman of the senate com
mittee, this morning.
To Congressman Ambrose E. B. Ste
phens of Ohio, who confessed that this
was his first trip to the Pacific coast
tne district was "a marvelous revela
tlon." - '
HICKS HAS FBAISE
. Congressman F. C. Hicks of New
York, 'ho has been here many times.
made a similar expression and praised
the manner in which the lower river
folk received them.
While the men were visiting Astoria
and Tongue Point the six women ac
companying the party were entertained
In Portland by Mrs. John A. Keatinr
At he Multnomah hotel this morning.
the visitors were met by the Portland
reception committee. Leaving the hotel
at 10 o'clock the party was whirled
about the city and along the harbor.
A visit was made to municipal terminal
No.- 4, which has outgrown the mbnra
stage it was In when some of the com
mitteemen visited it before.
Returning to the Oregon bunding at
noon the visitors were taken to the
main - dining room of the. Chamber of.
v-ommerce where a luncheon was given
in meir npnor. The ladies were lunch

FLOOR DECLINES
CENTS BARRE
L
j . By Hyman H. Cohen
r Down goes the cost of bread mak
ing again, the price of flour ' being
reduced 60 j;ents a barrel, effective,
Monday nforning. This places the
new wholesale price of patent flou
io $10.40 per barrel at the mills
iHth 15 to 25 cents per barrel added
for delivery to grocers, according to
location.
The drop In price of flour means 15
tents a sack wilt be cut off the retail
price. There are so many different re
tail prices at this time because of the
fact that some dealers purchased at one
price and others at lower figures that
there is no set value in the city. How
ever, the downtown stores have been
quoting down to 62.95 to 63.25 per sack,
which meana that 15 cents will be cut off
these values when the flour drop be
comes effective Monday.
I The sharp cut In flour prices means
that a total of 1 per barrel or 25 cents
a sack has been cut off the quotation In
Portland within one week.
Poultry men and dairy men are like
wise benefited, by further sharp reduc
tions in the price of feedstuffs and mill-Stuffs.;
CONVICTED SAFE
ROBBER TO ASK
FOR NEW TRIAL
Vincenzo Mattlo, convicted In tbe
circuit court a short, time ago of
robbing the safe in the store of Joe
Lemma at Linnton, and whose trial
caused two factions in the Italian
colony to take deep interest fn the
proceedings, will ask for a new
trial. ' ' ;
Through his attorneys. Collier & Col
lier, a motion was filed today, and the
statement is made that the points which
will be relied , on In argument for a
new trial are that the court admitted
evidence, over objections, pertaining to
other ' crimes in no manner connected
with the indictment, and evidence touch
ing the financial ability of the defendant
from which inferences were drawn that
Mattlo must have stolen, money from
Joe Lemma other than . the money
charged in the indictment, and civil mat
ters were permitted to be introduced by
which the jury was prejudiced.

REVISION OF TAX
LAWS IN MESSAGE
(By CalUd Newt)
Washington; Nov. 13. President
Wilson's message to congress will be
a brief document, couched in calm-
and deliberate terms. It is learned.
It will be the lasOnessage of the pres
ident to a congress, unless some reason
should arise for him again to address
that body during the , snort session,
which seems unlikely. " . ,
The president will make no effort to
pillory congress, although he is known
to believe it .has been remiss in many
things. He desires to refrain from any
thing that might be Interpreted as bit
terness In what will probably be his last
Important paper.
Cabinet members have furnished . the
president with recommendations, muoh

to have control of the law-making body,
and as if the party were still to control

lating and will present, with modifica
tions and additions he deems necessary.
The president will not make recom
mendations on matters which obviously
would be a matter for Republican de
termination, because this is considered
futile.
But he will urge revision of tax laws,
it is understood, calling attention to
their inequalities and to the necessity
for permanently establishing the float
ing debt. He- will also ask for labor
legislation and for laws to protect the
consumer in the distribution of neces
sltles. ... 9

Supplying Telephone Service
Occasionally subscribers move and ask us for a continuance of tele
phone service at their new location. They may be told that compliance
with their desires is immediately impossible owing to lack of "telephone
facilities" in a particular locality. "Why," one will say, "the poles and,
wires are on the street arid -the house is already wired."
We wish that the problem were as simple as it sounds. There may
be poles and wires, but every wire may be in use in giving service to
others.- There may be a cable, but every circuit in it may be assigned to
telephones already installed. There may be a" telephone in the vacant
house or apartment to which you move, but no spare, wires and circuits
from your location to the central office.. There may even be sections of
switchboard in the central office but not available for operation on ac
count of the lack of necessary switchboard apparatus such as ringing keys,
relays, etc. ' .. -
The reason for the shortage of telephone equipment is simple. Dur
ing the war period we were unable to maintain our reserve or stock plant
as the same materials we use were required and taken for government
purposes and for industries properly favored- by the government. .Since
the war, with the unexpectedly prolonged problems of reconstruction,
production, and delivery of materials needed to meet even current demands
have been, delayed. Every business concern is having similar experiences.
The manufacturers of telephone equipment have been bending every ef
fort to fill our orders, but they, in turn, are meeting the same difficulties
yin securing rubber, paper, silk, glassy porcelain, tin, thread, shellac, metal
parts and other articles not generally, associated in the public mind with
telephone service. u , - . . ' ;
At the same time with this abnoormal situation with reference to ma
terials there exists an unprecedented - demand for telephone service and
.even under.these circumstances our, record is one of fulfillment of demands
In the first nine months of 1920 we ' made a total net gain of over
7300 telephones in the State of Oregon. A fact worthy of consideration
in our operations is the large number of telephones handled in proportion
to net increase. In those nine months we disconnected, connected and
moved 4 l,i 40 instruments to? secure the net gain above mentioned, i f
We desire to give service as much as - a patron wishes ta receive it.
We desire to promptly comply with the suggestions of public authorities r
; who have taken a proper interest in the situation.-We are facing abnor
mal conditions, but we are trying to overcome our difficulties. , .
