REFUSES OREGON'S DEAD
OOVBBJfMBVT BECLEVES TO AIOW
RBTDRX OF BODIES.
General SHaaera Made Every Effort
te Have State's Silent Heroes
Interred, at Home.
tJnlese there Is some radical change in
the .plans of the war department, Ore
gon's brave dead who fell fighting for
the flag in the Philippines will not be
buried in the soil of their native state
they so much honored by their brave
career in the Orient. "What apparently
is the ultimatum of the government on
the subject was received by General
Summers yesterday.
The hodies of 61 4ead Oregon boys were
sent from the Philippines to San Fran
clco, and are now lying at the Presidio.
Governor Gear, on behalf of the state,
requested the national government to
send the remains 'to Oregon at the ex
pense of the state. This was refused,
Kith the explanation that the bodies
wduld be turned oer to the soldiers'
nearest relatives or legal representatH es.
General Summers then sent the following
to Depot Quartermaster Long at San
Francisco:
"Sir: In regard to the remains of mem
bers of the Second Oregon regiment, some

several telegrams, I would say that It is
the unanimous wish of all citizens that
al remains of our boys should be for
warded to Oregon, and If you -will forward
to me, in my care, the remains of all the
Second Oregon men not called for. we
will see they are properly Interred. Quite
a number of the parents of these boys
aid not know just how to go about get
ting the remains, hotne, nor when they
wold arrive, hence the delay in notifying
you in time The following Is a list of
tkte boys for which you have received
full shipping instructions, as per your

"We are particular that all the Oregon
soldiers shall be buried in Oregon; other
wise they might as well be left in Manila.
Trusting that you will adiBe all these
po rents and myself en the day of ship

"OWEN SUMMERS, Colonel."
The reply received by General Sum
mers by telegraph jesterday follows:
"San Francisco, Feb. 5. Colonel O.
Summers. Portland, Or. Reference to
your letter 1st Inst, just received. In
structions of quartermaster-general are
to inter remains of all unclaimed soldiers
in national cemetery, San Francisco, un
less claimed by nearest relative or legal
representative.
"LONG, Depot Quartermaster."
General Summers said yesterday that
he was feeling somen hat indignant at
the action of the general government
in refusing to give Oregon her soldier
dead. Governor Geer has made the re
quaet, wKh the result already stated
A ptpt ait ground has been secured, and
"ail preparations have been" -made for their
suitable Interment. General Summers
fears that there Is no recourse, but said
he would suggest that Oregon send a
-delegation to San Francisco to be pres
ent at the interment.
So far the bodies of seven of the Ore
gon boys have arrived, and others are
-expected today, and unless something un
foreseen occurs, the others will be buried
at the Presidio.
The gomoing ef Private Hlbbs, of Mc
.Mtnnvttle, are in the city, and will be
taken t that place today, escorted by a
detachment of eight volunteers from the
Seoond Oregon
General Charles F. Beebe received a
message from Governor Geer yesterday
afternoon, stating that the governor had
Just received a telegram from the secre
tary of "war regarding the return of the
Oregon soldiers who died in the Philip
pines to their native state for burial.
Secretary Hoot informed the governor
tbst the war department was giving this

Dueksbooting vf or the season may be
coneMered practically over. Quite a num- j
her of spertsmen have been picking up
their decoys and other traps and calling
the sport off for the past two or three
weeks, but there were still many who

though the ducks had served notice that
thye hod decided the season had been long
enough and that they had other busi

Hunters wno went out yesterday bagged
very fw ducks. A party of five who
went to Columbia slough secured one
duck, and other parties along the slough
did about as welt, so they made up their
minds to quit, and before leaving for home
Ared salutes of 31 rounds The fusillade
ran along the slough for miles, and
startled all the ducks within hearing.

HIGH SGH00L RECEPTION.
Jnne Class Bids Farewell to Depart
ing Schoolmates.
The June claBS of the Portland high
school tendered a reception to the present
graduating class last night, at the Audi
torium hall. The decorations, "while not
extensive, -were exceedingly beautiful. At
the rear of the hall hung a huge American
flag, andarmmd the sides of .the ,hall and
on the stage were placed potted palms.
The banquet hall was decorated with ferns,
Oregon grape and small American flags.
The programme, which lasted until after
10 o'clock, was well chosen. It opened
with "Scenes From "Wang," by the orches
tra. This piece is considered almost a
school selection, being played so often by
the school orchestra, and was received
with the most hearty applause.
Benjamin C. Day, president of the June
class, tendered the gusts welcome in a
ery neat speech, which was graciously
responded to by William M. KHHngsworth,
jr., who Is president of the February
class. The latter said he thought ho
voiced the opinion of his class in thinking
the reception outclassed any previous ef
fort of the school. Mr. Bowman, who ap
peared to be well known to the students,
gave a vocal solo, entitled, "Le Cor," and
was compelled to respond to an encore.
Miss Luse, who has recently -returned
frcm the East, recited "Binnore."
The second part of the programme was
opened by a very classical violin solo, by
Miss Bessie Wemple, entitled, "Ach Wle
Iste's Mogllch Dann." Miss "Wemple Is a
very superior player, and scored a decided
hit. She responded to an enthusiastic en
core. Miss Blanche Sorenson, an alumnus
of the school, sang "Springtide," and gave
a little ballad for an encore. "Guess and
Lausoh" was charmingly gh en on the zith
er by Professor "Wartmann. J. A. Epplng
sang, "The Bells of St. Mary's" In his
beautiful baritone voice, with a little love
song for an encore. The orchestra closed
the programme with an overture, "Hearts
and Flowers."
Dancing concluded the entertainment,
and was enjoyed until the wee hours of
morning. During the' dancing, supper
was served In the banquet-room, and punch
in the alcove.

that work on the line would soon be be
gun. "The new line will be constructed
largely by local capital," said he, "but
there seems to be no difficulty in securing
sufficient funds for the enterprise, as the
people generally, in the entire section

OFF FOR HER TRIAL TRIP
GOLDSBOROUGH STARTS ON VOYAGE
TO PTJGET SOUMJ.
She Will Be. Docked .and Cleaned
Before Making the Run

which will probably not be till the first
of next week. She will be put in dock
at the Port Orchard navy-yard, and thor
oughly cleaned and painted, ..Iter which
a short run will be made to "standardize"
or determine the number of revolutions
her propellers make when she is running
a 30-knot gait. During her Test in the
dock her engines will be tuned to concert
pitch, and everything will be made ready
for the terrific strain of a two-hour run
at full speed.
Captain W. H. Patterson, who will com
mand tho Goldsborough on her trial, took
her to Astoria, where he will turn her
over today to Captain James Tatton,
under whose command the run to Puget
sound will be made. She will leave out
as soon as the weather Is clear and the
sea smooth, and it Is expected that the
run of 130 miles will be made in about 10
hours.
After she has made a successful trial
the boat will come back to Portland,
where the finishing touches will be added.
This, work will require several weeks,
and on its completion she will again ven
ture on the briny deep, this time bound
for the Mare-island navy-yard, in San
Francisco bay, where, as provided in the
contract, she is to be delivered to the
government.
The Goldsborough left her wharf at East
Ash street about 2 o'clock in the after
noon, and attracted very little attention
as she sllnned away down the river. She
has been made ready for the roughest
weather that might be encountered, every
thing on deck being lashed down securely,
and the hatches tested, so that they may
be speedily closed against any turbulent
sea that may break over the deck. She
is thoroughly seaworthy: but Jier slight
beam -and light displacement render her
exceedingly likely to be tossed about, and
it is not impossible that those on board
who are not used to the ways of the
vasty deep may be short on appetite before
she reaches her destination.
The only representative of the con
tracting firm on board was F. Wolff, who
is not going to leave her till he has had
'a chance to see what she can dowhen
she tries.
The crew is composed as follows:
Engine-room Chief engineer, Hejiry
Smith; assistant, Forbes Smith; engineers,
,G. H. Thayer, G. L Servey and C. W.
Grubb; oilers. Matt Brown, D. Shea, J.
W. Brown and C. May.
Forward fireroom E Turner In charge;
M. F. King, Patrick Kelley; coalpasser, E.
.Murphy.
After-fireroom Charles Hu"by in charge.
M. C. Carson, T. R McDowall. Fred
Barno, C. W. Smyth; oilers, C. E. Haney,
'J. Nelll; coalpassers, C. D. Castle, J.
liller.
On deck Mate, S. Murphy; quartermas
ters, Fred Duthle, James McCarthy;
boatswain. Edward Davey.
All of the crew are employes of the
shop, and the engineers, machinists, oil
ers and firemen have worked on the en
glnes while they were building. They
have been thoroughly trained on the pre
liminary contractors' trials on the Colum
bia, and can get all the speed out of the
engines that can be developed.
The trial board has been ordered to as
semble at Port Orchard navy-yard, Thurs-
fday? ,and to conduct the trial as soon
tnereaner as me weauier ana ine con
ditions of the boat will permit. The
members will be on board during the
"standardizing" trial, and will determine,
by running the Goldsborough at full speed
over a measured knot course, how many
revolutions the propellers make while
the boat is running 30 knots an hour. It
keep up this number of revolutions for
two hours at a single run This test
has now coma to be considered almost un
necessarllyjsgvere, and the United States
is the onlvSmntrv which reaulres it. It
f is believed, hfwever, that the Goldsbor
ough is equal to the effort, and her build
ers are perfecUy willing to abide by the
result of a fair trial. No torpedo-boat
has ever been successful on her first trial,
so it is to be expected that s6me minor
mishaps may make a repeUtion necessary.
The Farragut, the 30-knot torpedo-boat
built by the Union Iron works, ran some
15 or 20 times before she came Up to the
requirements.
It was necessary to make the run on
Ptiffet sound, as only in water more than
200 feet deep can so fast a boat be tested.

OPPOSITION TO NOME.
Porcupine District Puts Forth Claims
of Its Own.
George M. Miller, a Portland citizen,
who has recently returned from, the Por
cupine district, on the Alaskan coast, says
placer mining has been carried on prac
tically all winter. The diggings are sit
uated about 100 niiles distant from Juneau,
and communication has "not been put off
at any time on account of the snow. In
summer, the bench claims can be worked,
and this winter the beds of the creeks.
have been affording employment for about
100 mines, who are making big wages,
with the aid of slice-boxes. These creeks
cannot be worked while the snow Is melt
ing, as there i3 too much water in the
way, and so the graVel from the bench
claims', 100 feet or so above, is sent down
on wooden chutes, to the edge of the
water, where it Is washed out. This
method of mining, he says, Is slow and
expensive, but the gravel Is so rich that
men have made ?100 a day during the sea
son. There was quite a rush to Porduplne
last year, and a great many claims were
staked out, but he looks for the tide of
travel to sweep by that country to Nome,
this year, and so a good many promising
claims will thus be abandoned. He Is pre
paring to return therein a few weeks,
as he has seven placer claims, and is weli
isatisfied with the prospects..
The Porcupine district is, fortunately, in
American territory, although Canadian
officials tried very hard to run their lines
so as to take it in last year. They as
sert that the international boundary
should be 10 leagues, or 35 miles, from
tidewater, at the western shores of the
outer islands; but the Americans believe
the line should be 35 miles east of the
mainland shore. He thinks the matter
will be allowed to remain in statu quo,
pending the modus vlvendl, and that the
high joint commission will ultimately?
settle the questions in accordance with'
former treaties between Russia and Eng
land, and America, and Russia which
have placed the boundary just where the
Porcupine miners believe it to be.
Porcupine Is on the line of a proposed
railroad from Haines' mission, which it is
expected will ultimately tap the Upper"
Yukon country. Fine bodies of copper are
known to exist In the "vicinity of Porcu-
pine, and the development of these will
require a railroad to the coast.

T"ivc Entries In the Wheeler County
Seat Race.
Five settlements contesting for the coun
ty seat will make the campaign lively in
Wheeler county this spring, according to
J. S. Stewart, a newspaper man of Fossil,
now in Portland. His town, of course.
I Will, take the lead, and "carry off the prize;
Dut jviitcneu, m tne soutn eno or tne

there is Richmond, almost in the exact

banks of the John Day river, and Hogart
Bottom, where a town has" just been laid
off on purpose for a county seat, and
where water works and an electric-light
plant are contemplated, though no post
office has been established yet
All these places will have their particu

county seat, it has, in his estimation, the

of the northern boundary of the county.
and Is 60 miles from the nearest point on
the railroad Arlington. Mitchell is 100
miles from the railroad, and travelers be

As to prospects of a railroad, Mr. Stew

use for one. Theymake their living rais
