THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY Z, 101. FISH AND TIBER YIELD LIVELIHOOD TO MA FOLK Columbia River Port Surrounded by Valuable Resources Keeps Growing at Progressive Pace. KALAMA IS THRIVING COLUMBIA RIVER TOWN Kalama, Wash., July 2. The pro gressive little city of Kalama is lo cated on the Columbia river, 39 miles from Portland. Twenty-seven steamship lines pass Us doors and trains on three main trunk railroads pass through its gate With s population of 1300, business, educational, religious and social interests are welt eared for. j . Kalama's harbor is one of the finest on the river, with a channel maintained at a minimum depth of 30 feet The widening and deepening of this channel next to the city has enhanced the value of the many industrial sites available at the northwest extremity of the city. -The port has been organised and is under survey at the present time. TIMBER BTA1TD IS HEAVY At the headwaters of the Kalama rivr are 3,184, 121.000 feet of available Umber of the following verities : Red, yellow. cedar, larch and pine, and from the waters of this same river and abundance of electric power is developed for all city needs, and for several adjoining towns. Three shingle mills, one lumber mill, and another under construction, are the main- manufacturing enterprises, while --the Doty Fish company maintains a large cold storage plant, from which is hipped tons of the famous Columbia river salmon, sturgeon and smelt. A gaged in the fishing industry. A fund of $40,000 has Just been voted for the construction of two new school houses. i Kalama is represented by a Commer cial club composed of real live wires, and maintains two fire companies, with equipment for the city's protection. The American Legion and popular fra ternal organisations are live factors also. WATER 8TJPPLT EXCELLENT The water supply, owned by the city, is tested-every six months and found pure-and healthful. Many beautiful homes are built on .the heights above the business section, and- the view from this locality is un surpassed. Many residents of the surrounding country are actively engaged in the rais ing of fruits, poultry and truck garden ing, while dairying is a big factor. As Kalama Is the county seat much business other than that of the city is transacted. The Pacific ocean is only 70 miles I away and those who cannot go to the beaches may enjoy the delightful sea breezes that cool the evening air. Being on the Pacific and Columbia highways, many tourists find , their way through the town, some to cross the Columbia by any of the four regular ferry boats to Goble and thence to the Oregon beaches or to journey on to Van couver and Portland and -perchance stop over at Kalama's Inviting little auto ;psrk.'

As the re sult of an accident at State Line Thursday, Lester Carter, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Carter, will probably loste the sight of his right eye While be was In the garage belonging to his uncle, Ben Vonderahe, watching the uncle repair an automobile tire, a sharp steel punch which the uncle was using slipped and pierced the eyeball. Mrs. Bergendorff. cafe proprietor of Freewater, was called to Tacoma- by the death of her son. Gall Scott, who st the beginning of the war was kicked by a horse while he was at a military camp in California and had been con fined to his bed since. Boise, Idaho, July t. There has been a switch in the distribution ef federal patronage in Idaho. Colonel B. G. Davis of Boise Is now slated for United States district attorney and WUlam E. Lee of Moscow Is In the discard. This la the latest au thentic information coming to Boise direct from the official pie counter la Washington. D. C. This change was not brought about without a bitter fight between Senator Borah and Senator Gooding, with John w. Hart, Republican national commit teeman from Idaho, acting the part of 1 moderator. The change cives proof, too. that, for the first time In his career. Senator Borah is forced to make big concessions in the distribution of the federal pie. From the start Senator Borah w opposed to the appointment of Colonel Davis to the position he sought. There were other candidates In Boise and else where, but the senior senator finally settled on Lee of Moscow, one of his most active lieutenants in North Idaho. las the man with whom to beat Da via. BOSS BACKS DAVIS Davis was backed from the start by National Committeemen Hart, who. In addition to the position he holds In the party organisation, is the acknowledged boss of the Republican Mormons of the Southeastern section ef the state. Davis Is of Mormon antecedents and it was' soon made clear that pis appointment would be gratifying to the members ef that denomination, who claim the bal ance of power In Idaho politics. Davis was also backed by Senator Gooding, who was under peculiar obli gations to him in a political way. At the Republican state convention In Poca tello last summer Davis held the bal ance of power In the race for the sena torial nomination. By throwing his strength to Gooding at the right time he brought about the nomination of Gooding. Ever since It has been an open secret In the state that Davis did this on the distinct understanding that he was to be made United .States attor ney If the Republicans were successful at the general election. Through Sena tor Gooding the support of John Thom as, the Republican state chairman, was secured for Davis. ONE OBJECTIVE LOST This is the combination against which Senator Borah had to contend. It is the combination that forced bun to finesse. Senator Borah had two definite objects to obtain In the distribution of the federal jobs One of these was to land Evan Evans of Grangeville in the office of Internal revenue collector. This objective he attained, but to do so he was forced to make concessions else where. His second objective was to land Bliss Marsters of Ada county in the posi tion of United States marshal. Marsters is s party warhorse and a lieutenant who has gone through many battles at Borah's heels. But here the senior sens- tor failed. The marshalship went to Frank Bresbears of Caldwell, the pres ent head of the state constabulary. Marsters is to be given a consolation prise in the form of prohibition director for Idaho. But the Information that comes from Washington is that this po sition is to be greauy strengthened and made an essential cog in the Republican party machine in this state. This seems to mollify Marsters. , MOVE HELD SIGNIFICANT Another significant move on the po litical checker beard of the state is the w U. S.

Nell from the po sition of commissioner of public welfare In the state administration to the office ef postoffice Inspector with headquar ters at Seattle, and the appointment of David Burreil to the position Nell ve eatee here. Burreil was chief clerk of the last two houses of representatives. secretary of the Raoubilcan state com mittee and a candidate for the position of Internal revenue collector. So the position he gets is also in the nature ef a consolation prise. One fact 'connected with recent ap pointments has attracted the attention of shrewd Republican politicians This is that Breshears and Neil are special political pets of Governor D. W. Da via They have been appointed and carried along by the governor, and their eleva tion to good federal jobs st this time caused many to wonder if Governor Davis Is not to cut an important figure In the politics of the state, even after the close of his present two-year term After two days of bucking heavy "getting a good dusting." as the unofficial navy phrase puts it, the destroyers Bruce, Zeilln and Aaron Ward, in charge of Comman der George T. Swayse Jr.. arrived in Portland harbor Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Piloted op the river by Captatn Sandetrom they were moored alongside Supple's dock at the foot of Belment street, where they will remain during their It-day stay. V Shortly after leaving San Francisco the ships ran into s gale that played havoc with the personnel Lieutenant Commander B H. Connor, commanding officer ef the Zeilln. and an old-time destroyer man, said it was the worst blow b had been in. EXEimiENCE IS TBTTOrO Tired and weary, the main thought ef the officers was steep when the ships I were safely tied up st the dock. The salt wivt uesi gi eiig wi V uiuve wvomuivh the seas that had swept the little craft. 'The storm was so bad we had to slow down to I knots,' Commander Swayse said, "and even then the seas came over. The d spines ton rack of the forward gun os the forecastle was carried away and the chain locker filled with water. The wind was so strong that the seas were whipped Into a spray almost as dense as a fog. Everybody was soaked to the saw and the watch officers were drenched." Delayed by the storm the destroyers did net make the Columbia river light ship until this forenoon instead of early morning. They were met by the pilot at Astoria and proceeded directly up the river. Captain Jacob Speier met the ships In the tower harbor. Commander swayse said the ships would remain In the har bor until July 11 when they sail for Greys Harbor. COLLISION IS RECALLED The crew of the Bruce Is made up larsety ef the survivors of the Woolsey which was sunk in collision with the Steel Inventor In Panama Bay last Feb ruary. All of the officers, with the ex ceptlea of the captain, Commander Swayse, were on the ill-fated ship Before coming north the snipe were engaged in battle maneuvers with tne battleship force of the Pacific fleet At tacks under smoke screen end all phases of the war game were performed. The Bruce had the distinction of hitting the New Mexico, flagship ef the fleet, with one ef the torpedoes she fired.
