TO SEE BATTLESHIP
FLEET
REQUEST TO BE SENT TO DE-
PARTMENT FOR BATTLE
SHIPS TO LOITER ALONG
CLATSOP BEACH.

Portland bodies will be asked to
unite in an appeal to the War De-
partment that the feet be directed to
spend one day to maneuvering off
Clatsop Beach Dan ]. Moore or
iginated the idea to have the ships
loiter along the beach as he is sure
they would find sufficient water where
lots OF people could see them without
going on steamer. The Oregonian
yesterday had the following to say
about the matter:
"A request for the feet to approach
the Cl&tsop Beach is more reason
able than that Of other places that
have been visited said Mr.. Moore
yesterday. cat Long Beach it was
impossible for several Of the battle
ships to get within three miles Of the
city. The government charts shows q
depth Of 80 fathoms, or 1872 feet, at
Tillamook Rock, while there is a
depth Of 10 fathoms, or o6 feet, inside
of Tillamook Head. The same meas
urements give uniform depth Of O.
feet along the beach and within .
lmile Of Seaside. There could be nc
ipossible danger because OF lack o.
water, and if the department can bs
induced to modify the itinerary OF the
feet in this slight particular | an
satisfied we can get the battleships t
stop' It will be possible for the en-
tire Aeet easily to get within mill
