THE MORNING OEBGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1900. DID A SPLENDID WORK HnmOBNCY CORPS AST) RED CROSS OTXnCBRS MAKE REPORTS. BeaHneRts Show Scope and Obaraetor el the Tfofele Worlc That "Was Accomplished. TIm octant sad the character of the vracfc Oat ww acoompltobed by the Ore son Snergencr Corps and Red Cross So ever te dearly Mt forth 1a the official re part that were submitted Saturday after noon at tbe meeting at the Armory, by the BracMent, Mrs. H. E. Jones, tbe ceo retary, Mrs. F. K. Louoeoury, and tbe trtuKtr, Mm. William C. Atvord. These report are appended. The report of the president Is as fol- W are aeeemWed here today, my dear oo-workers, open an oecaeion wnich to bm ta one of sorrow, because of its "being the end of our relations with eaoh other as an organized body, which has brought us so Intimately together that our various atone and objects have been as one. This room and these corridors have "been the scenes of many stirring 'events in toe pest, and the strong, true women wfoo have easemolea here brought their best efforts as an offering to their country's honor. Their hearts as well as hands were foil durtor those trying days, giving all (but mortals oan give in sympathy to the men and women who mourn because their loved ones are not, and working for those still left in those far-off jungles, hopeful always to mitigate the hardships inseparable from war. While profoundly thankful that peace has succeeded war in the ttves of our volunteers who went out from the homes and firesides of Oregon, It is with a sense of personal loss to me that we are no longer to hold our former relatione with each other, and the good bye to the old name and banner of the Hmwrnvn- Corns brines many pangs of regret to me. We have told each other and the public so many times of what we have done in this campaifm of ours that It would be but vain repetition for me to enlarge upon what we know and what the public ought to know of the great work done by this Emergency Corps. And while we congratulate ourselves that all went so well with us, let us not forget that not to us alone belongs the credit of that success. In our treasurer's re ports we have always put before the pub lic the moneys given into our hands by the citteens of Portland. We have never come from them empty-handed, when the time tune for more outlay, and we hope that they are satisfied with our steward ship. Our auxiliaries from the interior' town stood hy us in both work and money, and we hold them in fraternal love. But the officers, who gave us their per nal advice and counsel whenever occa sion demanded, what of them? Who ot us does not remember that lovely sprlnp day, when, in response to the loud call from The Oregon'en that all the loyal women of Portland assemble themselves together and organize for work, in help ing outfit the Oregon volunteers, there came together several hundred of us at the Armory, all eager to work; but none knew how or where to begin? This work was abeoluteiy new. even to the oldest of us. Patriotism burned strong, but or ganised force was weak through lack of experience. Then it was that General Beehe. General Summers, Colonel Jackson, Major Dan Moore and Colonel Tuttle gave us the keynotes that set the time for our future work. General Beebe has been our confidant through joys and sor rows, and we hold him in perpetual es teem. To Genera Summers we owe eo much that without his co-operation we couML have done nothing. Colonel Jack eon presented the regimental flag for us. Just before the embarkation of our regiment from Ban Francisco, and we have felt a romraderie with that battle worn veteran ever since. Major Moore. with Me commissar' experience and his erer-eady willingness to serve the cause. has heen a help beyond measure to us. Our two Governors, Lord and Geer. have always stood firm for us whenever the authority of their office could strengthen our position In gaining a desirable end. Mr. Calvin Heilig gave us. as his contri bution to the monument fund, $23. The cap for the women to afoemble for organisation of the Society was made by General Summers through The Oregonian. We wish to acknowledge the efficient work of Colonel A. J. Coffee, of San Francisco, who was most faithful in for ward'Jtg our ChrVtmas supplies. The "Oregonian has always been at our dJepoenl not only to print the matter deemed important by this Corps, but to our auxiliaries all over the State was it equally ..liberal, and nothing by it has been left undone to honor the officers and men of our volunteer service. I think that we can claim with pardonable pride that ur work, while serving our own. has done something for the State at large. Oe my recent trio East, wherever I went. Oregon was the theme upon which men ad women grew eloquent. It was our Colonel at tbe Philippines, our offi cers and men. and. more than all, the women of Oregon, until I began to -wonder what we had done in Oregon to merit such an abundance of good feeling, and . ihea I remembered that they or their kin were upon a time homesick and hungry volunteer?, and we took them in and fed them, and put flowers in their gunetocks, and they were grateful. The further order of this meeting is that w each cat our vote dissolving all our obMgattons to the Bmergency Corps. To the Red Cross we remain perpetual mem bers, subject to any call wh'ch may come from the National Red Cross Society for heh. Our own board is subject to change of odtonw, and at a not far distant day1 1 ! hone to see you assembled to vote upon the election of offlcctw and other neces earjr work, and In conclusion I want to say that I esteem It a great honor to hs oewi the preedent of your board dtttdtff the whoie work, and I know there never was a bodty of women who worked together so harmoniously, with so 1'ttle frliotfea. as this one has. and I want to eicpresa my thanks to you all for your lovalty to tbe cans, to eaoh other and to xno. to whom you have always shown Hh Mtmeet forbearance. Kepert f the Seoretagy. It has heen suggested by our honored president that at this time I give you a synoris of our first year's work, as well as what followed. To be brief as possible, 1 will only touch here and there on the most important transactions accomplished between April K. UK, and April 22, 1S.

November 29 Our society planned a Christmas dinner to be sent to the Eighth California Infantry, stationed at Vancou ver Barracks, and to the California Heavy Artillery, stationed at Fort Canby. The dinners consisted of turkeys, cranberry sauce, mince pies and jellies. An abundant supply was forwarded to both places, which in due time elicited grateful ac knowledgment. Many destitute families and sick soldiers have constantly been cared for. and none has applied for assistance In vain. February 2S A draft was drawn In favor of Colonel O. Summers for $500 and for warded to him to be expended In ice and such comforts as he deemed best for his regiment. Secretary's Report From April 22, 1890, to February 17, 1900.

April 25 Plans were formulated to give a Red Cross luncheon May 10, Mr. Fred Merrill having tendered the use of his business house for that purpose. May 13 Our auxiliary societies began sending in contributions to the monument fund. Hood River Auxiliary being the first to respond.

C. and R, C S., the proceeds of the gamo presented to our organization being $212 50. July 15 At last definite Information is received relative to the volunteers' home coming; they are expected to arrive in San Francisco today. An enthusiastic as sembly of mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts are present at this Wednesday meeting in the Armory, for were not their loved ones nearlng home? A magnificent reception must be given them, 6uch as had never been arranged before. The president had Just called for the reports of com mittees when the City "flrebell" rang out the glad tidings that the transports bear ing their precious ones were sighted at San Francisco. Can we ever forget the moment, or the scene? Never, It was too sacred for words. July 22 Frances Woods, M. D., came be fore the executive board and submitted a repo.rt of her work from August 27, 189S, to the present, during which time she received from the society $1250 gold coin, returning a balance of $23 10; she reported balance still in the hands of Surgeon Major Ellis as $276 15. The report was ac cepted, placed on file and an indorsement of her stewardship given her. August 5 Elaborate arrangements are in progress for a reception and banquet to our volunteers. Imitations are issued to 160 members of the Oregon Emergency Corps and Red Cross Society to act as hostesses and wear uniform bows of red, white and blue ribbon. August 9 The day of days. Amid cheers rrom tne multitudes, our nrlde. the Second Regiment. Oregon volunteers, marched once more through the streets of their home City to Multnomah field, where they turned over tho "nrrtnrs" ITipv cnrrlorl through sunshine, rain, peace and battlp, in tne trovernor, mus pertorming their last duty as a regiment The turning ovet of the "coloro," which, had been presented them by this society, and which were pre- sentea in a speecn by colonel James Jack- son on tne eve or tnru- departure irom San Francisco, was a touching event to those who bought it back unsullied, as it was to these who held It dear and awaited with anxiety it,-,-return with the rMr!mn TTIKIn- n-nrilc rr.r.n. tVinc nf our gallant Colonel Jackson when he said: Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. Are all with you, are all with you. In tha evening a reception and banquet was tendered the "returned heroes" In the Armory. It was estimated the num ber present was about 10C0. Hundreds of spectators were unable to gain admis sion, only relatives having that privilege. September S Miss Lena Kllliam for- ' warded her ropoit from Manila, as nurse, ? which shows a balance still on hand of $87 75, due tbe Emergency Corps. She has accepted a position as Government nurse. September 9 Donated to the Thirty-ninth Regiment, United States Volunteers, sta tioned at Vancouver Barracks, one dozen copies of Edward Everett Hale's book en titled "A Man Without a Country." The books were sent by the author to this So ciety for the Second Oregon Regiment, but were received too late va deliver. Eaoh book contained the not.ed author's auto graph. September 2S General O. Summers sub mitted his final report, with that of Sur geon Ellis inclosed. Both eulogize highly the work accomplished by the Oregon Smorgency Corps and Red Cross Society, expressing the sentiment that their serv ice was eminently satisfactory and had been tho moans of saving many Mves. September 23 A request was presented by tho Chamber of Commerce that the ladies of our Society entertain all returning volunteers, hair the expecse to be liqui dated by them. It was decided to com ply with said request. To this end ar rangements were at once made to eater tain the Idaho Volunteers, now en route to their homes. September ! The Armory drill hall presents a delightful picture, decorated with bunting. Tbe long tables are spread with snowy cloths, and decorated lavishly with choice flowers. The Bmergency "orps extended a hearty we' come, and served refreshmerts t w No- t Volunteers. About 100 bcxes of luncheon rttre supnXed them. The recipients fuLy appreciated the spread judging from their unstinted praise of Portland's hospitality, September 2S Again the long tables are good for hungry men to gaze upon, laden with flowers, and groaning under their burden of eatables- Soon the "tramp, tramp, tramp" of feet announce the ar rival of 500 of Idaho's stalwart defend ers, who march in, amid clapping of hands, and, all being In place, the signal is given to be seated. Thirty minutes later the same tables little else remain ex cept the heartfelt thanks of brave men. About 250 lunches were given them to take on tbe train. October 4 The officers' board room pre sents a busy scene this morning. The "faithful" are here in numbers, receiving and repacking hospital stores, fruits, Jams, jellies and reading matter, which are sent In from the various public schools of the City and in private donations from citizens for the use of the Thirty-fifth Regiment, United States Volunteers, who are embarking on the transports Rio de Janeiro and Sikh for the Philippines. To the hospital stores was added a generous supply of malted milk and tablets, pur chased by our Society. October 7 Unusual Interest Is manifest ed in greeting the Minnesota Volunteers, numbering 950 men, who were "compan ions In arms" of our own Oregon Volun teers in the Philippines. They were met at tbe depot today by some of our rep resentative military men and escorted to the Armory, where on elegant repast was in waiting, prepared by the Red Cross ladles, whose greeting was as- cordial as could be desired and who wished them a hearty God-speed to their homes. October 10 We almost live at the Ar mory these days, reminding us forcibly of times past Long tables, spread with snowy cloths and decorated with Nature's choicest flora, is the order of the day. The South Dakota Volunteers, numbering 650 men, are our guests today. Right roy ally were they entertained. Their ex pressions of praise for our Armory, Port land's hospitality In general, and the Red Cross Society In particular were good to hear. October 20 Seven hundred and fifty of Montana's hardy soldiers were met at the depot by Battery A, Light Artillery, and escorted to the dlning-hall of the Ar mory, where, after cordial greetings, am ple, justice was done to the refreshments provided for the occasion. A number- of short speeches were made by the Chap lain of the Regiment and others, General Summers responding. October 31 Arrangements were complet ed whereby a large supply of malted milk, malted tablets and dried beef was pur chased for the use of the Thirty-ninth Regiment, United States Volunteers who are leaving our port on the transports Olympla and PennsyHania for the Phil ippines. A discharged soldier, Lewis R. Allen, was assisted in being sent to his home in Illinois. His gratitude to the ladles of the Red Cross was ample recom pense. November 4 The last returning volun teers were accorded a right royal wel come. They were the Washington soldiers, numbering $00. Our ladies vied with each other In making the dinner all that could be desired From expressions Of appre ciation heard on every side, their efforts were fully rewarded. November 22 Mrs. Levi Young reported three sick soldiers being cared for In the hospital. A donation was presented our Society of $54 64 by cur vice-president, Mrs. O. Summers. On the transports Rio de Janeiro and Sikh were placed many boxes of reading matter, jellies, fruits, etc., also "Gospel Hymns' for the use of the volunteers on their journey to Manila. One incident worthy of mention in con nection with repacking stores for the transports may not be inopportune. A large box arrived at the Armory directed to the Chaplain of the Thirty-fifth Reg iment, Manila. It occurred to the ladles in charge to see what good things were contained therein. They were rewarded by finding it filled with nothing but ad vertising matter from an enterprising shoe firm. The two Armorers, who are ever un ceasing in their courtesies, each received slight tokens of our appreciation. Total number of members to date, 19,117; auxiliaries, 12; number of regular meet ings held, 53; number of special meetings bold, 20; number of meetings of executive board held. 48; total number of meetings, 121; mimber of hot meals served to volun teers en route to Manila, 2759; number hot meals served to returning volunteers, 5050; total hot meals served, 7609; total number lunches, 3S78. In conclusion, ladies, allow me to ex press to you my sincere thanks for the pleasant memories of comradeship and courtesies extended to me personally by you. Never before has it been my priv ilege to meet and labor dolly with such noble, self-denying womens who thought not of their own weariness or prominence, but constantly and ever before thorn was the one dominant desire and determina tion to help our volunteers at any cost, as much as it was possible, and as women were permitted to do. I am proud to be numbered among you. May it be said of the Oregon Emergency Corps and Red Cross Society in the final summing up "Well done, thou good and faithful serv ant."

FH03I ORi-uvA, Price Double What It tfsed to Be, and Buyers Say Higher Than Market Warrants. Three. Wyoming sheepbuyers, who ex pect to drive away 50,000 head of Oregon sheep between them, this summer, are at present in Portland. They are: J. J. Car son, of Rock Springs, and John A. Dormei and D. R. Castiday, of Rawlins. Mr. Carson has already bought 6000 head In Morrow County, and expects to obtain SCOO more by delivery time in May. They ail express themselves as finding sheep rather higher in Oregon than the market justifies, but they have evidently made up their minds to bring the stock back with them when they' return to Wyoming. Mr. Car son sold he used to get all the yearlings he ,wanted in Oregon at $1 25 a head, but that was in Cleveland's time, and the sheep industry has looked up wonderfully since then. The price paid this season runs from $2 15 to $2 50. Mr. Castiday last fall made the largest sale of sheep ever made in Wyoming. Ho sold his flock, then ranging near Raw lins, to a Arm of lucky miners, Deal & Haggerty, for $50,000. He was paid $20,000 down and now holds a chattel mortgage on the stock as security for payment of the remaining $30,000. This sum bears 12 per cent per annum interest, and aa it is amply secured, Mr. Castiday is in no hurry about the principal. When asked how they were going to take Oregon sheep Jnto Wyoming, under tho new stock law of that state, all three of the gentlemen said they' proposed to make a test case If the authorities at tempted to detain their flocks at the State line for GO days, in accordance with the new law. "Wyoming authorities dare not molest a trainload of sheep going through the State from Oregon to Omaha," one of the men said, "and I propose that my property shall be respected fully as much as If they were go!ng through to Omaha. The sheep purchased in Oregon will all be dipped just after shearing, and I shall not leave the State without having secured a clean bill of health from the Oregon au thorities. If Wyoming officiate molest me, I snail carry the case to the highest courts, on constitutional ground, befre I submit. I obtained legal advice on this subject before I left Wyoming." The buyers have not made up their minds yet whether they will drive their bands across the State of Idaho or ship them by rail. They figure on a cost of 50 cents a head freight from Huntington, Or., to Rawlins, Wyo., and on arriving in Wyoming the flocks have still to be cared for all summer. Heretofore the practice has been to drive C000 to 7000 head In a 'band, from Hunting ton to the winter quarters In Wyoming, the trip consuming four months. Thus the expense of summering the sheep would be avoided, as free government range would be followed on the trip across Idaho and Wyoming. These sheep, of course, cut a wide swath in the grass along the route, much to the d'sgust of resident stockmen, but so long as the Government refrains frm leasing the range to private parties, traveling stock can not be kept off. Homesteaders, however, are more numerous each succeeding year, and the time will Anally arrive when settlers will have obtained title to, the lands along the route. Then the practice of driving large bands of stock across these States -must necessarily be abandoned, and sheep pur chased In Oregon must be freighted by rail to their destination. DELAY OF MACHINERY. Opening of New Smvmlll Still Held Buck. The completion' of the Eastern Lumber company's extensive mill and plant has been delayed by the failure of the steel carriage fixtures to arrive, but these In dispensable articles came to hand a day or two ago, and are now being put in place as rapidly as possible. ..ie mill will be ready to start up soon. Parts of the machinery are already being op erated to get the bearings worn smooth, and the finishing touches ore being given the other parts. About such an extensive and complicated a concern there is no end of things requiring to be adjusted, so that the whole will ruin smoothly as a har monious whole, but It is probable that the mill will bo turning out lumber within the next two weeks. So far the company has been a large purchaser of lumber, and has laid out a large amount of money, but It has a mag nificent mill and will soon have the bal ance of trade in its favor. The delay in completing the mill has given ample time for the perfecting of all details. The buildings are roofed with galvanized iron and painted, and the inside whitewashed throughout, which, besides giving a clean appearance, preserves the timbers, and is also a protection against fire. The mills when completed will include all the latest improvements In every department and will probably be the best on the Coast. The company will use band saws, the same as haver been in use in the ml'.l of the Western Lumber Company, and which have been found capable of cutting the largest logs of yellow fir.' Ample drying-rooms and thoroughly .equipped plan ing mills are connected with the estab lishment', and a railroad switch runs alongside the north end of the property, which will enable lumber to be loaded for shipment cheaply and conveniently. e i DRIED "BEEF" ANALYZED. State Chemist Says It Came Front an Oregon Elk. Specimens of dried meat offered for sale In this City have been submitted to the Chemist at the Agricultural College or Experiment Station by Game Warden Qulmby, and he is Informed that they are dried elk meat, which It is not lawful to soil. The meat was sent to a grocer here, who sold a shipment or two of It as elk meat, but when he was arrested and fined $30 for selling elk meat the hunter who sent it "admits" that It was nothing but dried beef. The last shipment received by him was seized by Quimby and sealed up and samples sent to be analyzed. Some persons have grave doubts as to whether the difference between jerked beef and jerked elk can be detect ed by a chemical analysis. Tho hunter, whose name is Wolf, used to be a resident of Portland, but went into the Coast range some -time ago for tho benefit of his health. He avers that the meat he sent to Burns was beef. He says he has a number of cattle running wild Jn the mountains which he oan cap ture in no other way than by shooting them down where he can find thorn, and ho cannot use tho meat In any other way than by jerkins It where he kills the an imal. It Is quite possible that the meat of cattle running wild in the mountains snd browsing the same as elk do might pass for elk meat when dried, but when this involves a fine, Mr. Wolff does not want it to pass for elk meat. Ho writes to say that he is coming down here to have the matter straightened out, but whether his statement will prevail or the chemical analysis "go" remains to be seen. Almost any one could tell elk meat from ordinary beef when fresh, but just whether a cheroisit can detect tho differ ence between wild beef and elk meat after being dried and smoked Is a question. a O TVIint China Needs. Leslie's Weekly. China has long used large quantities of our petroleum. It needs our medicines, chemicals and disinfectants. It needs wa terworks and sewers. It needs telegraphs, telephones and electric lights. When the sun eets night closes over that land, and Its millions seek their beds In darkness. It needs electric railways. Cities with "populations in the hundred thousands, ly ing but a few milesapart, are without any means of communication. ' Two cities only 12 miles apart, one with a population of 1,500,000, the other of 200,000, the smaller city being the port of tho larger, are still unconnected. American watches, clocks and sewing machines axe finding a ready sale, and American spirits, wines and beera are taken in quantities. The Chinese are the Teutons of the Orient, as the Japanese are its Gauls, and when they become beerdrlnkers, as they will, think of the supply necessary to satisfy 400.000,000 thirsty throats. China needs our farm machinery, thresh ing machines and separators. All the grain used In that country Is rolled out on threshing floors and winnowed by hand fans or the vagrant winds.

In the barnacle we have an unique and wonderful case of a creature that can afford as age comes on to dispense with tho eyesight that was so useful In youth. For the young and old barnacles are as different, one from the other, as Ashes from 3eawced. In the heydey of life the barnacle swims about the sea, seeking its food with the aid of its eyes, aad gen erally leading a roaming existence. Later In life, however. It grows tired of this aim less wandering, and settles down to worry ships' captains by attaching Itself to the keel of their craft and defying the much advertised powers of various preventive paints. Once, then, the barnacle has become a i fixture, whether on ships or sharks, itr eyesight is of no more use. It cannot seek its food and it cannot shun its fees; for It never more will move. Therefore Its eyes become superfluous, and, accord ing to nature's invariable rule in such cases, disappear. MARCH WEATHER.
