Pioneer Oregonians who happened to be at Jackson ville when General Fremont ar rived there on his way to Cali fornia, may remember to have seen Dan Turner, a quarter-cast Cherokee Indian who spent about four years at Astoria before the days of "49 in the service of the Hudson Bay Company. "Uncle Dan," as he is now known, is still alive and busy with prepara tions for the celebration on July 4 of his 102d birthday. For many years he has been making the claim that he is the only person on earth win fired a shot in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. He says he remembers having run away from his Indian mother at home to see his father, who was with General Jackson at Ne-iy Orleans. The soldiers were entrenched behind bales of cot ton, and Jackson placed a loaded gun in the hands of the boy and, at the command, ordered him to fire a charge in the direction of the enemy. Turner said he shut his eyes and blazed away. Uncle Dan was a soldier of Uncle Sam during the Civil War, serving five years without getting into an engagement. He did, how ever manage to fall through a transport's hatchway, and for the injuries sustained in that accident is toijay a pensioner. commissioned by Sheriff Stevens to act in that capacity. The by-laws were amended to read: "This club shall be non-partisan, non-sectarian, and shall not be used for or against annexation." The regular nights of meeting hereaf ter will be the second and fourth Mon days of each month. The club has been effective for the Mount Scott dis trict the past year, and expects to do more the ensuing year. PARASOLSON SALE.

SPEECHES AT BANQUET Much Fun Had and Good Feeling Between Two Cities Is Cemented. Leave In Train Filled With Cherries and Flowers. EUGENE, Or., June 24. (Special.) This has been a proud day for the City of Eugene. A proud day because it is tha annual commencement day at the Univer sity of Oregon, and the largest class in the history of the State University has Joined the ranks of the alumni. A proud day because it marks the greatest epoch In the material growth of the city. -Bfat a proud day more than all because of the splendid aggregation of business and pro--fessional men of Portland who have hon ored the city by leaving their interests at home and giving the citizens of Eu gene an opportunity to express the cor dial feeling that they have always had for the great city, and to pay the first small installment on the big debt of gratitude that Eugene along with the rest of Ore gon owes to citizens of Multnomah Coun ty, who gave the University of Oregon a magnificent vote of approval on June 1. Everybody Joins in Welcome. While the programme of the day was in charge of the Eugene Commercial Club, the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Commercial Club .and the University of Oregon, this was merely to systematize the work of caring for the hundreds of guests, for every man, 'woman and child who could get away from work to do so Joined in the welcome to the visitors and all were ready to do . anything that would add to their pleasure and comfort. The excursion today was 'to mark the completion of the fine new Southern Pa cific depot here, and to give the citizens of Portland a chance to visit the graduat ing exercises of the class of 1908 of the University of Oregon, and incidentally to bring the business men of the two cities into personal acquaintance. But whether the hosts intended it or not, the greatest surprise in store for the many men who today visited Eugene for the first time in years, as well as for those who have not been here since the improvement era struck Eugene hard, less than two years ago, was the large growth and install ment of permanent improvements which have not only established for the city a good reputation, but have been strong forces in bringing the citizens of the uni versity town into an appreciation of its future possibilities. Thousands Greet Train. It was indeed a gala day for Eugene. The ideal weather which was ordered for commencement week continued and the city was dressed in her best to re ceive her friends. The principal street, Willamette, presented a beautiful pic ture, with its scores of American flags and pennants of various colors, the green and lemon yellow of the University of Oregon, especially in evidence. The special train of four coaches and a baggage-car pulled by a locomotive gaily decorated in the University of Ore gon colors, pulled in five minutes ahead of time, and the excursionists were greeted by the cheers and handshakes of a thousand citizens who had come to the station to Join in the welcome. The Eugene military band played as the visitors alighted from, the cars and when the formal exercises of opening the depot took place on the south platform of the new station. Manager O'Brien Opens Depot. Dr. D. A. Paine presided and the address of welcome to the most pro gressive city on the Coast from the most cultured and beautiful city on the Coast was made by Dr. W. Kuy kcndall, who spoke especially of the good work done by the citizens of Portland for the State University, and expressed the appreciation the people of Eugene felt for the extensive im provements .the Southern Pacific is making In Eugene. W. W. Cotton re sponded, referring especially to the agricultural possibilities of Willam ette Valley under proper treatment of the soil. Manager O'Brien was then presented with the big golden key that had been prepared for the opening of the splendid new station. After ex plaining the important part the visit to the head offices of the Southern Pacifli; by Eugene's business men had played in securing the early comple tion of the station here, Ir. O'Brien threw the new building open to the public. Before the crowds had entered the new building, the Portland "choir" did some impromptu singing that was highly appreciated. The "choir" con sisted of C. C. Chapman, W. G. Smith, Herman Wittenberg, A. C. Jackson and W. C. Masters. Dr. D. A. Paine acted as toastmaster, and as soon as everybody was seated, a telegram, purporting to be from William McMurray in Chicago, was received by (COMPILED BY For November Elections.

It expressed Mr. McMurray's regrets at not being in Eugene and urged the speakers to "cut it short" in order not to miss the train, scheduled to leave Eugene at 7:15 P. M. . This and other telegrams created con siderable merriment. They were brought In at the proper moment by a neatly uni formed tiny messenger, with "Eugene Wireless" on his (or her) cap and enough gold braid to satisfy a Rear-Ad miral. Little Rika Hartog was the diminutive telegraph-boy. t The toastmaster at once called upon Charles S. Williams, president of the local club, who in his usual powerful way bade the visitors heartily welcome. Although duly warned not to speak for more than three minutes, Mr. Williams got so Interested in his subject that he had to be forcibly put back on his chair by a uniformed policeman. Mr. Williams was followed by' Tom Richardson, who responded in his char acteristic vein. Mr. Richardson kept looking back of him, expecting the police man to take him by the collar. Dr. L. L Whitson spoke next and paid the previous speaker an eloquent tribute as beinir the father of the pro motion work now being actively done by all the largest towns in Oregon. He told of the work of the Board of Gov ernors of the Promotion Committee, but was interrupted by a "wireless" tele arram from the Associated Press. Port land, reading: "Evening Telegram and Journal have extras out giving your speech in full. Have you made it yet? Answer quick." A telegram was read by Toastmaster Paine, from the United States National Bank of Portland, reading: "Check presented today from a Eugene dry goods merchant and dealer in hops, mo hair and chittim bark. Can't make head nor tail to signature. Wire best mess:" Everybody at once pointed to S. H. Friendly, who. amidst laughter, confessed that Tils signature might be improved upon. President P. L. Campbell. F. E. Beach and Judge E. O. Potter next spoke, in the order named, and their remarks were confined principally to University matters. A teleeraphlc Inquiry from the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, whether the rumor was true that "cotton was up in Eugene"; also one from Dr. Day. from the McKenzie River, were read by the toastmaster. Dr. Day had been urged by C. S. Williams to go and catch a lot of trout for the dinner, but the banquet com mittee had already made other arrange ments. His sad telegram read: "Say. do you want that trout for the Port landers or not? Answer quick. Almost had a bite." . . H W. Thompson was followed by Hon S. H. Friendly, who expressed Eu gene's appreciation of the big vote giv en by Portland to the University appro priation. Various Telegrams Read. . During the dinner the toastmaster re ceived and read wireless messages from the following: 1 From William H. Taft: "Can't come on the 24th. Trying hard, though to get there in November." From W. J. Bryan": "Understand your dinner is a $2.00 affair. I draw the line at $1.00. Can't come." From William McMurray: "Sorry can't be with you. Remember to cut speeches short, as train leaves Eugene at 7:15. Don't get left. I never did." From the White House, Washington, D. C, signed T. R.r reading: "Dee-lighted with Eugene's strenuosity. You can guess' who this is from. There are only two of us." It was not necessary for the toastmas ter to explain that the other T. R. re ferred to Tom Richardson. Others who spoke were Dr. A. B. Hart, of Harvard University; Governor Cham berlain, Congressman Hawley, John W. Scott and H. L. Pittock. Telegrams of congratulation and good wishes to Eu gene and its guests were received at dinner from J. C. Stubbs. W. W. Kruttschnitt and William McMurray. When the visitors reached the station they found their cars filled with flowers and cherries, and as the train pulled out with one minute to spare the noise of the outgoing train was drowned by the yells of the university boys, the EUgene Military Band and the citizens of Eu-. gene, whose cheers were returned again and again by the city's departing guests. WHALER' IS SET ON FIRE Bowliead Saved Only by Borrowing Chemicals From Nome. SEATTLE, 'Wash., June 24. A special to the Post-Intelligencer from Nome says: The steamship Ohio is reported by ar riving vessels 70 miles from Nome and disabled. Those reporting the ship de clare she is safe and in no danger of dis aster. The steam whaler Bowhead, which reached port two days ago and is lying in the roadstead, caught fire yesterday afternoon and was only saved from com plete destruction by chemicals brought from Nome. The damage to the whaler is estimated at $M00. The fire Is supposed to be of incendiary origin, although there is no clew to the identity of the incendiary. Smoke was discovered pouring from the hatchways and those aboard the steamer did all in their power with -a small hose and a bucket brigade. Most of the men were ashore and a boat was hurriedly despatched to bring aid. At Nome the fire fighters borrowed chemical apparatus and hastened back to the ship, finally checking the fire. The Bowhead arrived in port Monday, bringing the crew of the whaler Wm. Bayliss, Captain Bodflsh, which was wrecked off Siberia three weeks ago. The Bowhead was formerly the Swedish bark Haardraade, is owned by J. A. Cook, of Boston, and was built in 1871 by Brines, of Christianla. Search lor Body. MARSHFIELD, Or., June 24. (Spe cial.)
