had money to spend and they spent It.
They, .were but for a good time and they
thad JL "Tjho' crowd was small, compar
atively speaking, but it made Itself ap
'parent. and even the California Promotion
Committee, whose members crowded the
Centennial, had to side-step occasionally
'and give Ihe Southern Oregon people
room. '
i Owing, io the .small attendance from the
two -cities the services In the auditorium
were out, and immediately thereafter the
exhibit buildings were Invaded. The vis

unbounded -loyalty to Oregon in general,

Badges wore worn, and unique souvenirs
'of bit of rough wood and metal were
.distributed to those who desired them.
"There "are not' many of us," said H.
M. Calkins, a mining engineer living In
'the vlcltilty of Roseburg. "but what there
are count. People from our section of

crowd iii -one" day. but you'll find a few
'Roseburg people here all the time."
More than 200 tickets were sold over

as many more from Cottage Grove and
other way points. The majority of these
visitors will spend several days at the
'Exposition -and return In small parties

' WILL .TEST BLACK SAXDS.
Government Will Experiment With

Th work of testing the black sands of

It Was-' announced yesterday by Mining
Superintendent J. M. Batchelder that pre

that the real work will be gotten under

.Some 'tests of appliances and of the

faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of
Tibnnology. and. according to a telegram
received yesterday by Mr. Batchelder. a
fiil report of the findings has already been
milled from Boston by Professor Rich

periments. This report will deal with
thff best kinds of concentrating apparatus

Tills is the first time the Government
hfcs attempted to make a thorough in
vestigation of Pacific Coast black sands.
It Has long been known that platinum
exists n quantities sufficient to make It
rtarlte,table. The only drawback has been
the ttck of an efficient method of concen
tration or treatment. The experiments of

pitied to develop this deficiency and to
add ft. big source of revenue to the Coast.

INDIAN WAR VETERANS.
They Will Hold Their Annual En
campment Tomorrow.
The Oregon Indian War Veterans, the
ranks of which have been serried by time
until the few who still live stand in the
light of greater pioneers, will hold their
annual encampment tomorrow in the G.
A. R. hall in the Mulkey building. Second
and Morrison. Though they have much
business to do and several memorials to
prepare, with ancient brevity they confine
themselves to one short meeting. After
that they- will pose in the role of mere
pioneers and for the next two days mix
with their old friends and give the yearly
handshake, which has been given and
taken through half a dozen decades.
Vice-Commander H..D. Mount has come
down from Sllverton and for the past few
days has been making the simple prepara
tions for the encampment. He states that
there are now about 600 veterans or their
widows In the state, and that, though
their interests do not demand a great
deal of attention, they -might be dona
better by, and this the veterans who as
semble hop to bring about.
It is understood that the encampment
will prepare a memorial to be presented
at the next session of the Degislature.
with the -purpose of obtaining a larger
appropriation, so that it will never be
necessary, as sometimes now, to make
a niggardly distribution of funds to aid
these old pioneers.
Congress will also be asked to make the
same rule about Indian War Veterans
as about Civil War Veterans, and in
crease the service pension from $8 to 513
a month upon becoming TOuyears of age.
The long-contested land bounty question
will again come up for discussion and
another effort will be made to Induce
Congress to look favorably upon a bill
providing a bounty of 160 acres of land
for Indian War Veterans who served be
