PORTLAND TAKES IT
AS USUAL
STEAMER SUE H. ELMoRE
GOES TO METROPOLIS ON
NEXT VOYAGE AND MAIN
TAINS HEADQUARTERS TER
MINUS THERE HEREAFTER.

By clever ruse Portland takes
from this city the terminal business
OF the Pacific Navigation Company
otherwise, S. Elmore & Company,
and when the steamer Sue H. Elmore
returns from her next trip to Tilla-
nook Bay, she will 60 on to the
metropolis direct, and thereafter,
Will sail from there as her headquar-
ter terminal.
The means resorted to in behalf of
this scheme, was the steady advance
in the rates, hence to Portland, on the
Tillamook produce brought in here
by the Sue II .Elmore; the climax
asserting itself in her owners final
decision to absorb these exorbitant,
and increasing, rates, in sheer self
defence.
1t is the old story OF manipulation
as against this port, on the part OF
Portland; and in the matter under
treatment, seems to have been very
simple and successful transaction.
Now, that she has captured the BUSH
ness, it is morally certain the people
of this city will hear no more howls
an hub-bub about the "wretched SER
vice between Astoria and Tillamook.
1t all be lovely and gratifying and
successful, since Portland has the
business in charge; and for the sake
Of the Tillamookians, the people ol
Astoria hope II may be,
The Sue H. ElInore was the only
sea-going craft out of this port, Oh
Portland either, for the, matter Of
that, that was owned by local people
and she will be the first to sail oui
Of the metropolis with an Oregon
owner.

ing the past year In developing the
desired types the aim has been to COM
bine simplicity. durability. minimum OF
weight. facility for setting up and dis
mantling. fuel saving. minimum Of labor
In operation and ease of Transportation.
From among the different kinds tried
out it is thought by Commissary Gen.
Sharpe that a satisfactory type Of field
bake oven and field range have been
developed. The oven is what is known
as continuous baker, and the range is
particularly adapted to pack transporta-
ton. 1t is expected, after some further
test. to have an ample supply of these
ovens and ranges constructed and dis
tributed where the needs of the army
require.

in the latter grade, and there will be
keen interest in the selection of the officer
by the new President, as an indication
of his policy in army appointments. There
will be no more regular retirements among
general officers until 1910. when three
brigadiers go out of active service. Ia
June of next year Lieut.. Gen. Arthur
Macarthur will be retired, but that Gre

Contract for the Utah.

The contract for the new battleship
Utah the sister ship of the Florida. which
is to be built at the New York navy yard
will be awarded to the New York Ship
building Company of Camden, N. j.. in
the sum of $3946,00O, as the result of bids
recently opened at the Navy Department.
The ship will be built in accordance with
department plans and specifications, with
turbine machinery, presumably of the
PARSONS type. with a speed of twenty and
three-quarter knots. The time of com
pietlon, thirty-two months from the date
or the contract. is regarded as remark
able, being, in fact about two years from
the laying of the keel. The contract price
is S5OO.O1O less than bids received from
the Newport News Company.

There are at present twenty-eight of

to permit the target practice, and the as

Army Medical School Crowded.

The War Department finds IT impossi-
bic to admit any more militia medical
officers TO the Army Medical School in
Washington. That is due to the limited
accommodations existing at that institu-
ton and the large class of qualified candi-
dates who have passed the preliminary
examination for appointment to the reg
ular medical corps There are very good
chances of appointment TO the regular
corps for these young men connected with
the militia who have the necessary train
ing The first choice is given to those
who have passed the preliminary entrance
examination of the regular corps and who
take course of special training before
being finally examined. At present the
facilities OF the Army Medical School are
seriously taxed by the large number of
those qualified at the last examination.
There are still many vacancies in the
Army Medical Corps. and another exam
iuation of candidates will take place i'll

trial. and upon arrival at the prison, when
put in prison dress, the uniform clothing
is put away to be returned to the man
when discharged.
while all sentences provide that a
man upon discharge shall be given $50 of
his pay. If he has it due him, it fire.
quently happens that, owing to the man
being in debt to the government and be-
Ing in confinement but a short time, his
accrued pay does not amount to $50. and
In such cases the man is discharged al
most penniless and in his uniform. This
condition has been a great source of
embarrassment to the department on
many occasions. as these discha rged
men sometimes resort to stealing begging
etc. and in other ways are an annoy
ance to the community, and they bring
disgrace upon the uniform they are wear
ing and reflect discredit upon the whole
body of enlisted men Of the navy 1t is
most undesirable that men DISCHARGED
from the navy for misconduct should be
in position to discredit their fellow sail
or men. This condition could be relieved
by the passage of law directing that in
cases where enlisted men are discharged
from the navy by reason of sentence of
court-martial their outer uniforms and
other distinctive marks of naval service
shall be confiscated and sold. the pro
ceeds of the sale to be credited to their
accounts. Such a law should be accom-
panied by provision that the discharged
men be supplied with suitable civilian
clothing at maximum cost of S1O''
