Warden Homer today.
Therefore the first thing that is
done when man enters Great Mead

NAVAL BASE
ASKED FOR
COLUMBIA
People Of Western Slope Are Demanding
That Their River Basin be Given
First Class Military
Protection
BY John Bartram Kelley
Written for the United Press

Portland, ore June 49, From Mon
tana to the Pacific ocean there has
arisen during recent months demand,
persistent and serious, that the mouth
of the greatest river on the Pacific
coast Of America, the entrance to the
100000 square miles of American ter
ritory, known as the Columbia basin
ana the inland empire, receive govern
mental recognition by the establish
mcnt there Of a naval base Of the first
class with adequate Notifications 70
protect this investment
The acorn from which this mighty
oak Of sentiment has grown is known
as the Columbia naval committees.
In January r. c. Harley and Wallace
r. struble started the movement in
Astoria.
The necessity Tor the naval base
was an easy matter to prove. The Pa
cilic coast is so helpless at this mo.
ment that our military experts say
that in case of an invasion the first
stand American troops could make
would be in the Bear river valley in
Utah. That means the evacuation of
the Pacific northwest.
Our naval base at Bremerton is en-
tirely unprotected from a flank or rear
attack so long as there is no adequate
defense at the mouth of the Columbia.
Furthermore, it is located 1872 miles
from the ocean and its entrance ISL
dominated by territory Of the greatest
sea power in the world
Strategically, the mouth Of the Co
iumbia is the key to the northwest
From it to Alaska is open American
roadstead and the shortest route.
1t is the nearest point to Yokohama.
1t is the entrance to the wheat belt,
10 luIbc-lOull lHb VI Ohi u SD'ANAhNA'
tai lines, to a 500 mile nayigable wa
terway, and to the only water grade
route to the northwest
These are arguments which the res
idents of the basin considered before
making their demands.
Commercial bodies of Eugene, Sa-
lem, Portland and Astoria have en-
dorsed the movement. In March the
city of Spokane. uniting with the ma
val base committee, held prepared
ness convention in which five states
were represented. This convention
was held at the suggestion Of T. n.
Bernard Of K'lispell Mont.
Six hundred Portland business men
have sent a long omnibus telegram to
Washington in six sections, urging the
necessity of the naval base. The pres
ent status of the campaign is consid-
cred favorable.
Secretary Daniels is considering the
naval report Of 1909 IN conjunction
with the army report Of 1916.
Chairman of naval committees in
the house and senate are both friend
ly to the Hawley and Lane bills for
the establishment of the naval base

federation session the keynote Of the
papers and discussions was that true
order of patriotism which consists in
remaining faithful to the ideals Of the

Moreover, the club women are, not
losing sight of the fact that one factor
of patriotism consists in training the
rising generation to remember the
ideals and continue the work Of their

Considered in this light the conven-

Probably the most interesting feature
of the convention of the State Fedora
ton of Woman's Clubs held at the
Hotel Colorado this week, was the IN
dication it afforded of the intelligent
manner in which Colorado womanhood
is grasping the great problems confront
ing our nation at this time. Who shall
say today what constitutes true Amer
icanism, when the greatest minds of
the nation are cropping with the prob
lem and differing as to its solution?
Not that the club women in this con-
vention attempted to solve problems
as to neutrality or Intervention IN
world affairs, but they did bear.in mind
that the foundation of our national
existence lies on faithful adherence to

The opening session was held at 4

the executive board and credentials

the absence of the president, Mrs. W.
R. Garretson, through illness, all meet
ings were presided over by Mrs. Adam
Weiss, first vice president.
Tuesday evening general reception
to delegates and friends was held in
the ball room of the Colorado. The re-
ceiving line was composed of officers
Of the federation, chairmen of standing
committees and the local reception conf
mittee composed of Mrs. q. g. Clark, Mrs.
l.. E. Brown ,Mrs.Amelia Dewey and Miss
Alice Kendrick. One of the pleasant
features to note was the representa-
tion from many small towns over the
state, showing clearly the awakening
of women to the need of club life. DR..
A. NJ. Templeton of Boulder was also
present to "see that it was done

their efforts toward the comfort of the
visiting delegates.
The. ladies of the Glenwood Reading
club have shown their ability to handle
a large undertaking and the manner in
which this small number of "siXteen "
has provided for the entertainment of
so large visiting body is a subject If
highest praise. The club members are
Mesdames L. E. Brown, L. G. Clark,

The decorations under the care of
Mrs. Mayes, the place favors and club
badges by Mrs. Overlook and the ever
helpful hand of Mrs. Riddle deserve
special mention; in fact each membsr
of the club has contributed her share
in making the federation what it has
unquestionably been, success.
Mrs. G. B. McFan of Denver, chair
man of the program committee, has
been tireless worker and it is gem
orally conceded that this years pro-
gram is among the best. Mrs. McFall
explains that she realized that it had to be
in keeping with "Glenwood the Beau.i-
ful," with the magnificent scenery, the
gorgeous colorings, the rippling waters
and the stately mountains. 1t just had
to be a great federation to befit its
setting, and it has been. Then, looking
out upon the hills, she added, "Oh,

and seeing its purpose in the universal
