The Oregon and Washington veterans are working earnestly with the California Post to have the next encampment held at San Francisco. Denver Is their sec ond choice. The 'Oregon delegates say that with, the enormous expenditure de volving upon the encampment city, it would not be wello bring Portland to the front now, ihen its efforts are cen tering on the Lewis and Clark Exposition for 1905. VETERANS IX LINE SIX HOURS. Parade Is Made Up of 25,000 Men, Who Are Cheered to the Echo. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. For more than six hours today, the people in Washing ton hummed the chorus of the Civil War song, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching," sad for an equal time the veterans constituting the Grand Army of the Republic made good their claim. The parade was the climax of the SCth annual encampment of the Grand Army, and the parade did not fall appropriately to de note the spirit of the war and the mem ory qf the glorious achievements the Army seeks to keep green in the minds of the American people. The crowd was enthusiastic and out . A. Husk, of Salem. spoken in admiration, greeting every divi sion of the. procession with cheers and dismissing It with Godspeed. The Presi dent pf the United States lent "nis ener gies to the entertainment of the capital guests. Unable to endure the strain of reviewing the column from the stand, he arose from the reclining, chair','- and had himself driven up and down the line. The unusual Interest thus manifested was appreciated by the. old soldiers, and the President was everywhere received by them with loud applause. More than five 'houre time was con sumed by the procession in passing tne reviewing stand In front of the White House. There were at least 25,(XX) men. In line, and the estimate of Commander-in-Chief Torrance ran as high as 20,000. To-, night the veterans held campfircs lh the big tents in the White lot. ' During the parade none of the soldiers were marching any great part of. the time, for the entire lln of march .did not exceed two and one-half miles lit Itilgth, but these who composed the rear .detach ments were on their feet practically all day, much of the time being consumed in waiting to lake their places in line. Route or the Parade., The route of the parade was down Penn sylvania avenue, along which many of the veterans marched as raw recruits in going to the Civil War in 1SS1 and 1S62. and many others on the occasion of the grand review .after the close of the war in 1S65. The participants In the imposing pageant entered with life and vigor into the spirit, of the occasion, but it was plainly eVldent that there was In the oc casion much of the restoration of youth for most of them. The "old boys" for the time being evidently were reliving the days of their youth. Not many of them exhibited traces of age in their marching. Almost without exception they walked along with a good stride. If the veterans had needed any spur to enjoy ment, they would have found It easily In the crowds who- thronged their pathway, and in tho smile which Providence be stowed upon them, for the weather xVas perfect. The spectators were limited In numbers only by the capacity.of the broad sidewalks, the stands, the parks, the windows and the housetops along the line of march to hold them, -ae Government departments and the schools w.ere closed for the day, and practically the entire population of Washington turned out to do honor to the veterans, along witu the hundred thousand visitors to the city. Order of Procession. The procession moved in the-.oKjcr pre scribed by Chief Marshal General A. Noel Blakeman. It was preceded by mounted police, and this was followed" in turn by a drum corps composed of suryjvprs or the Civil War musicians. Then came a. mounted escort of citizens of Washington, among whom rode General Blakeman. He was accompanied, by his aids, riding in Hies of eight front, and these were fol lowed by the Marine Band. General Ell Torrance, commander-in-chief, occupied a carriage. He .-was pre ceded by jile personal escort, pon-itlng fit hn A. Rawlins" Post; cf-fthe D;iM t'm"etir of Minnesota, and accompanied" by his personal staff and the executive commit tee of the Grand Army, immediately fol lowed "by the escort of the Grand Army, consisting of the First Regiment of tho Sons of Veterans and a reserve of the Pennsylvania Division, and then came the various organizations of the Grand Army itself, led by the Department of Illinois, with Commander H. M. Trimble in com mand. While on his way to take his position In the line of march this morning, General W. W. Blackmer, of Boston, department commander, of Massachusetts was thrown from his horse. It was announced that his injuries. are not serious. AX OVATION' FOR ROOSEVELT. Appearance of President Greeted With Shouts of Wild Welcome. WASHINGTON, Oct. -8. President Roosevelt returned to the White House" about 1:30 P. M., having been gone an hour and a half. Several thousand people waiting outside the White House cheered his return. The President's ride down Pennsylvania avenue along the line of march of the parade was an ovation for him, and was a 30ur.ee of great pleasure to the thousands of marching veterans, and the hundreds of thousands of people who packed the streets. The delightful weather could not have been better for the President. The ar rangements for the ride to the Peace monument, which was the eastern limit of the President's journey, were most carefully arranged by the physicians and Secretary Cortelyou. The physicians saw the President during the morning, and sat isfied themselves that he could safely make the trip. He was in excellent spir its, and looking forward to the ride with Intense pleasure. The large laudau, belonging to the President, drawn by two sorrel horses, was driven to 22 Jackson Place just before 11 o'clock, and a few minutes later, when the head of the procession was re ported to be rounding the Treasury build ing, the President was carried down stairs in an invalid chair by four men. In front of the temporary White House for half a square each way, 20 deep, 50,000 or 'CO, 000 people greeted the President's appear ance with shouts of welcome. The Pres ident responded to these cneers by rais ing his hat and bowing and smiling. When he was lifted Into the carriage, the Pres- I (Concluded on Second Page. NEW DIRECTORS wemmm J. O.

DRAWS 22 FEET OF WATER Encounters Only Slight Difficulty at Boeder's Bar Carries Largest Cargo Ever Dlspntehed From This Port. The British steamship Lime Branch, carrying In cargo, fuel and stores over 8000 tons dead welsh't. reached Astoria yesterday alter a good run down the river. The trip was especially note worthy from the fact that the vessel not only carried the largest cargo ever floated In Portland, but she went through to Astoria-In safety on the low est stage of water of the season. The worst obstruction encountered was at Recders. about 18 miles below Port land. Had the channel been opened to last- year's depth at thl3 point. the ves sel could have carried an additional 1000 tons of cargo. When the early navigators of the Pacific were cruising along the shores of what is now known as Oregon and Washington in quest of the fabled Northwest passage, they usually spent but little time in searching for a "great river," which Span ish traditions had located about 200 mljes south of Juan de Fuca's alleged northern water route from the Pacific to tho At lantic. t Some of these ancient mariners made contemptuous allusions to this ap parently mythical stream, and had modern slang been In usi at that time, would have accused Cabrlilo, Viscanio nd oth ers of their kind who had mentioned it, of puffering from "pipe dreams." Even George Vancouver did not take the Co lumbia seriously, for he sailed past.lt on his way north, and when he met Captain Robert Gray a few days later intimated to him that, while the river might be all right for drinking purposes, it was ap parently top small for his 200-ton ships. Gray thought differently, and sailed boldly In, and from his ship the river received its royal name. Vancouver then ac knowledged his error by coming in and uscending the river for 100 miles, but he was etlli skeptical about the advisability frof sending big flhipj. upc-ih.e.1rhr'erv . xne steamer Beaver came along about 40 years later, and her master went on record on his log book as having misgiv ings about a vessel of such magnificent proportions as the Beaver finding a suf ficient depth of water in the river. These same misgivings are still expressed at As toria by certain individuals, who, like Vancouver, Captain Howe, of the Beaver, and a few others, are dead, although the Astorians, unlike Vancouver and Howe, have temporarily escaped the un dertaker's notice. A Wonderful River. The wonderfu. river is. still doing busi ness at the old stand. Fed by the eternal snows, which have given it depth and volume since time began, it i3 carrying the Droducts of an empire to the high j.qeas, and over the 100-mlle course below Portland are lloatlng larger ships than have ever before come so near to the producers of Oregon and Washington. Over this magnificent stretch of water has just been carried the largest cargo ever .hlpoed from Portland. It went for ward on a steamer of such vast propor tions that beneath the decks could have been stowed all the freight that It was possible for SO vessels like the Beaver, Columbia and other vessels of that era to handle with their limited tonnage. This big floating warehouse had on board when it steamed out of Portland harbor a quan tity of wheat equal to the production of more than 100 farms of the average size In this state. To move this cargo by ra would have required the servlcesvof nearly 250 large-sized cars, and the amount of wheat on board was sufficient to provide bread for a city of -13,000 people for a whole year. Elght-Thousnnd-Ton Cargo. The vessel which established this new record for Dig cargoes from Portland is the British steamship Lime Branch, Cap tain Mallng, which arrived down at, As toria yesterday with 6496 tons of wheat 1400 tens of coal, and enough stores and lumber lining aboard to bring the tota." weight on board the vessel up to SCO0 tons. The steamer was dispatched by Kerr, Glfford & Co.. and the 13,000,000 pounds of ADDED TO LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR BOARD Tv D. Van Dusea, of Astoria. wheats on hoapi.jilone made the largest cargo that was ever cleared from Port land. - Despite the immensity of this car go, the vessel will load an additional 1400 tons at Astoria, the low stage ot water in the river preventing the vessel going down with more than" 22 fet draft, while 'with her full cargo on board she will draw about 24 feet. The Lime Branch is a strictly up-to-date freight steamship, less than a year old. She is, of a class of ocean carriers that have reduced ocean freights to the minimum, by reason of immense size and economical operation. No other type of steam vessel afloat can carry freight at a profit at so low a rate us can be made by these modern freight ers. Representing, as she does, the latest production for economical freight-handling and a type of vessel which Portland must he prepared to handle, the Lime Branch's experience In carrying the -record cargo down the Willamette and Columbia is of interest. The big freighter arrived at Portland September 25, and was lined and ready for cargo September 29. She re ceived a small amount on the west side of the river and then shifted over to Montgomery No. 2. On October 2 she re ceived 35,000 sacks, which is the best day's work yet reported on the beach this sea son, and a day later she received 21.000 sacks In live hours, completing her cargo of 6495 short tons from Portland. Owing to- the small tides at the mouth of the river the steamer could not get to sea nt her full draft for about . a week, so she was held at Portiund In the fresh water, until Tuesday morning, when she started seaward In charge of Pilot Harry Emken. The-vessel was drawing 22 feet and -was on an even keel when she left the harbcr. , Vessel's BIr Proportions. The Lime Branch Is 400 feet long, and has a flat bo'ttom. 52 feet wide. This enor mous flat surface dragging along near the bottom of the river creates such a terrific suction that it Is a difficult mat ter to keep the big vessel in the channel, and as a precaution against wild steering the steamers Ocklahama and Charles R. Spencer were taken along to help the steamer over Rcedcr's bar. The Lime Branch stirred up considerable mud before she "was clear of the harbor in Portland, the channel a short distance from Oceanic dock being in -'much the same shape as It was a year ago, when 22-foot ships were obKged to wait for a" high tide to Eet out of the harbor. With a full head of steam and two good boats pushing, the big vessel (Continued on page 12.) CONTENTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. Industrial Tronhles. Miners vote down Roosevelt's peace plan. Page 1.

President Mitchell, 6f the Mincworkers, and tho three district presidents left for New York at 3:05 P. M., on the Lehigh Valley road. They refused to say what their mission was oirwhom they will meet. Unless their visit bears fruit, the end of the mlnework ers strike seems a long way off. and the prospects ofufficient coal being minea to satisfy the demand Ig extremely poor. Every local union of the miners' organi zation throughout the hard coal belt held special meetings cither last nfght or today and resolved to remain on strike until tho mineowners grant them some concession. While the reports of those meetings came pouring into "W'ilkesbarrc, President Mitch ell dictated a letter to ihe President of the Untied States, In which he gave hia answer to the proposition that the strik ers return to work and trust to have their condition Improved through an Investigat ing committee. The answer of the miners' chief he refused to divulge, but It is diffi cult to conceive that with the replies of the local unions piled around him he could do otherwise than respectfully decline the President's proposition. Mr. Mltcheil sent hia letter to "Washington before he had heard from all the locals, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by the dis trict presidents, left for New York. His mission there Is also a secret- As New York Is the headquarters of the coal oper ators, a rumor immediately spread that a settlement was in prospect. From early morning until late tonight tho returns from the meetings of the local unions came pouring into the union head quarters, and this afternoon the corps of newspaper correspondents stationed here were invited to'examlne the reports. Not one was found that was not couched in firm language.
