All armories in the state, including
the Portland armory, are under tho
control and supervision of tho general
staff of the state military forces, ac
cording to au opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Brown given to Acting Adjutant
General Williams.
The opinion referred directly to the
Portland armory, a the site for tho
armory and the building were pur
chased and erected by Multnomah
county. But the attorney general
points out that the county is a mere
agency of the state, and the state, leg
islature may enact laws regulating the
control of county property. The legis
lature has enacted a law giving the
control of all armories to the general
staff.
Attorney General Brown has advised
Insurance Commissioner Harvey Wells
that the articles of incorporation of
the Vnion Workers Beneficial Asocia
tion, which wag organized in Portland,
are not eligible to be filed under the

the articles do not qualify the organi

Efforts Are Made To
Save Valuable Cargo
A Pacific Port, Aug. 1. Effort
were under wav ioday to transfer the
$4,000,000 silk' and rubber cargo of
the Canada Maru, Osaka Shoen Kaisha
liner to salvage vessels in expectation
that she will very shortly go t pieces
I on the ocks off Capo Flattery, where
she grounded earlv Tuesday. With
storms imminent, the Japanese vessel
is poised at a danger ous angle on a
rock that penetrated number two hold
when he went aground iu Tuesday's
heavy fog.
Xo. 2 hold is full of water and Xo. 1
hold has six feet and is filling rapidly
despite the pumps. Less valuable por
tions of the cargo are being cast over
board by the crew in au effort to
lighten the vessel, which is constantly
settling. .
A heavy "ground swell around the
cape, which necessitates two anchors
to retain the Canada Maru in anything
j like a steady position, is seriously in
j terfering with the salvage work and
, the removal of the cargo.
Efforts are being made to hurry the
removal of the silk which constitutes
the bulk of the cargo and is valued ar
$4,000,000.
