NAKNEK, Bristol Bay, Alaska, June
14, via Wireless to Cordova. Natives
are flocking form the interior to the
large cannery centers on the Bristol
Bay side of the Alaska Peninsula,
bringing reports that many of their
tribesmen perished in the mountains
during the eruption of Katmai vol
cano last week.
These reports are not given too
much credence here, however, as the
natives are greatly excited and are
so terrified that they cannot give an
intelligible account of their exper
iences during the the eruption.
"The natives, who are accompanied
by their entire families and are
bringing as much of their belongings

clare that the Bristol Bay coast-line -I
is covered with from three to six in
ches of volcanic ashes and sand. Bris
tol Bay is on the windward side of
the volcano and the natives said that
during the eruption they could see
red streams of lava flowing down the
west slope of the mountain.
Three inches of ash fell in Naknek
village and no attempt has been made
to operate the canneries since the
eruption to allow the water to free
itself of the volcano material.,
No word has been received here
from the villages on the Shelikol
Strait side of the peninsula, which
was the real danger zone and the fate

Interest Of American
Voters
NEW YORK, June 14. Theodore
Roosevelt, in person, will lead his
fight for the Republican presidential
nomination in Chicago.
This -was made certain here today
when the colonel left for Chicago at
5:30 o'clock this afternoon.
Roosevelt, coming into the corridor
of the Outlook office today, after talk
ing over the long distance telephone
with his lieutenants in Chicago, an
nounced to the newspaper men:
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I am going
to Chicago on the 5:30 o'clock train
this evening, I think, over the Lake
Shore line."
The colonel's face was flushed, ap
parently with excitement, and his eyes
flashed as though he had just receiv
ed exciting news from Chicago. Then
he went into his office and dictated
a statement for the press.
Roosevelt's statement said that
mn.nv nprsnns hari nrfforl him tn p-n
to Chicago and that he had received
"countless telegrams from delegates."
The statement continued:

TWO-THIRDS RULE
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 14. Senator
Stone declared today that friends of
Speaker Clark will support a resolu
tion before the Democratic National
convention abolishing the two-thirds
rule and providing that whenever any
candidate receives a majority of the
votes cast he shall be declared the
party nominee.
Senator Stone said the two-thirds
rule is not looked upon with favor by
Democracy and that an effort will be
made to get other Democratic Presi
dential possibilities to ask its aboli
tion in the convention.
"The consensus of Democratic opin
ion is, and has been for years," he
said, "that the two-thirda
caueu, is aDsoiuteiy without reason or
justification on any basis that ought I
to underlie the procedure of Ameri- j
cans in dealing with great public '
questions. I do not h
that nine-tenths and more of the
country do not believe in this so
called two-thirds rule."

ELKS PAY HOMAGE
TO COUNTRY'S FLAG
MORE THAN 100 MEMBERS OF
, OREGON CITY LODGE AT
TEND EXERCISES
HEDGES AND STONE ARE SPEAKERS
Impressive Ceremony Held On Ver
anda Of New Home Which
Win Soon Be Ready
For Use
More than 100 members of Oregon
City Lodge No. 1189, Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, Btood with
uncovered heads before their new
home Friday night and watched the
Stars and Stripes rise above the build
ing. " The occasion was a solemn one,
and at the same time a joyous one,
paradoxical as it may seem.
Flag Day was observed by hund
reds of thousands of Elks in the Unit
.ed States Friday, but nowhere was
more interest taken than in Oregon
City, where the Antlered Herd paid
tribute to the emblem of their coun
try in a manner befitting it. With ev
ery head bowed during the prayer,
there was a secret exultation over the
fact that the fine building soon to
be occupied as an Elks home is near
completion and for the first time the
members were facing a place that
they could truly call "home."
- Members of the Lodge marched
from the lodge room to the new home
and the exercises were conducted by
William R. Logus, Esquire of No.
1189. Rev. C. W. Robinson, rector of
St. Paul's Episcopal church, delivered
a patriotic invocation and Exalted
Ruer Henry O'Malley delivered a
brief address that was full of noble
thoughts. He was followed by Wil
liam M. Stone, whose address was
"The Elks Tribute to the Flag." Mr.
Stone made a fine address, reviewing
the symbols of nations from ancient
days to the present time. Patriotism
was his kevnote anil ho wan vnrmli
applauded.
Two patriotic songs by Mr. Long
were well received and then Gilbert
L. Hedges nyide an address on "Hist
ory of Our Flag." Mr. Hedges was
in fine voice and his oration was a
masterpiece. He was frequently in
terrupted by applause, and he arous
ed the patriotic fervor in tho hearta
of his brother Elks who cheered him
to tne echo.
G. R. H. Miller recited a poem
that was cordially received and then
as the flag was raised to the top of
tne stan:, Mrs. Leon Des Larzes, Ore
gon City's sweet singer, rendered
"Star SDaneled Banner." and throo
cheers were given by the Lodge mem-
Ders for the hag of the nation.
The occasion was unique in Oregon
City Elkdom, and at its close the
members returned to the lodge room
wnere ine regular session took place.
Emery J. Noble was elected secre
tary of Oregon City Lodge at Friday

SHASTA LIMITED
MRS. MARY SHEPHERD IS HURL
ED TO DEATH NEAR PULP
SIDING
BEAM OF LOCOMOTIVE STRIKES HER
Husband, Seventy-four Years Of Age,
Almost Prostrated By Shock
Coroner To Hold In
quest Today )
Mrs. Mary Shepherd .wife of John
Shepherd employed by the Willam
ette Pulp & Paper Company, was in
stantly killed-by the Shasta Limited
Friday afternoon about 100 yards this
side of Pulp Siding where she lived.
Mrs. Shepherd was coming to this
city to see a friend depart for Can
ada. She was "walking just outside
of the track on the ties, having ail
umbrella over her,, when she was
struck by the train. A beam on the
front of the locomotive struck her in
the back of the head and she was hurl
ed forty-six feet.
F. L. Kenny, engineer, brought the
train to a stop aa soon as possible
and he and the fireman went to the
woman's assistance. She was dead,
however, her skull having been crush
ed. Ths body was taken to her home
and her husband was summoned. He
is seventy-four years of age, and is
almost prostrated over the accident.
Coroner Wilson brought the body
to this city and will hold an inquest
at the Holman Undertaking Establish
ment at 10 o'clock this morning. The
funeral probably will be held Sunday.
Engineer Kenny and M. A. Richard
son, fireman of the train, told Coron
er Wilson that they saw Mrs. Shep
herd walking at the side of the track
when the train was within several
hundred yards of her. She was then
far enough from the track to be out
of danger. , Suddenly as the train
reached her she swerved into the rail
It is thought that the rain and the
umbrella kept her from hearing the
noise made by the flyer.
Mr. and Mrs Shepherd moved to
Pulp Siding from Canby about a year
ago. The Willamette Pulp & Paper
Company has a crew of men working
there and the aged man was employ
ed as water carrier. They have a
son who lives in Willamette.
The train which killed the aged wo
man was due in Portland at 2:30
o'clock. The engineer and. fireman
will attend the inquest
