Professor Talmadge of Utah, one of the beat geologists of the country, re sponded for the big sister state to Ore gon. He dwelt briefly upon Utah's mineral production, resources and op portunities, and said that If a depart ment of mlnea and minerals ahould be established, Portland would become memorable as the historic meeting place of the congress that gave the incen tive A brilliant effort on the part of Zach Lamar Cobb, who wore the big straw sombrero badge of El Paab, won the hearts of the audience for the Lone Star state. He Mid not seek to disparage other mineral sections, but wished to In form Portlsnd and the world that El Paso was the center of the greatest and richest mineral region of the world. in fact was the hub of the mineral continent.

Cornforth. one of the active workers In the early days of the formative period, who attended the session seven years ago. When body and shape waa given to the great move ment In behalf of mining. He brought a knowing look and approving nods by presentation of a few favors, aa be termed them, along the following order: "Manufacturers furnish one-seventh of the tonnage for railways of this coun try; forests one-fifth; farm products, of which we hear so much and which bring the annual cry of shortage of facilities for hauling, only one-ninth, and the mines produce more than one-half of the total tonnage." Gavel Is Presented. B. B. Beekman, a native son of Jack sonville, the oldest mining camp of this state, where gold was mined In 1851, presented to President Richards, on be half of the 'Jacksonville board of trade, a beautiful gavel of mansanlta wood. bound with gold taken this spring from Rich gulch, of that county, and bearing this inscription: "Presented by Jackson ville Board of Trade to J. H. Richards, President of the American Mining Con gress, In annual session, August 22-27. 1904, Portland, Or. Gavel and gold from Rich gulch, Jacksonville, the first min ing camp in Oregon. December. 1851." This original and highly apt Idea of connecting first work with the preeent waa conceived by George H. Hlmes of the Oregon Historical society, and re ceived wide commendation. Prealdent Richards responded with an eloquent acceptance. Informing the con gress that the honor waa not all his, for the-occasion, time and work of all had Inspired the deed of Jacksonville.

President Donnelly Is expected here this evening. Aat Morse had 1200 with him. and that they murdered and robbed him Is now the accepted theory. Something was wrong, say the friends of the missing man, for Morse was not on the proper car to reach his home. At that hour of the day the car he caught would take him only to Eabt Twenty-eighth and GUaan streets. He should have taken a Montavilla car, for It would have taken him within 100 yards of his home. "I firmly believe Morse has been mur dered for the 2200 he had with htm," said Mr. Hutchinson today. I believe he got off the car and started home ward along the path that leada through the woods, and was murdered by two or more thugs who had followed him. 1 have decided to make a thorough search through the woods along the path this afternoon."
