OP, how far apart are your rear dropouts? Or if you don't have calipers, does the quick release push the dropouts inwards, or are they already pretty snug to the axle nuts?

Does the Portland have a steel frame (or at least rear triangle)?
I'll check that out this weekend, but my memory says I have seen them be squeezed inward as I tighten the skewer...

Portland is not a steel frame...aluminum, I think.
