son's Speech Masterly, Says
Captain J. P. Shaw.
Oregons survivors of the historic
battle of Gettysburg, who attended the
recent semi-centennial celebration
there, are home, safe and sound, every
one, and each Is certain that the pleas
ures of the reunion and the manifesta
tions of friendship between the men
who wore the blue and the men who
wore the gray completely compensated
for the inconveniences of camp life and
the hardships of travel. Captain James
P. Shaw, Commissioner for Oregon, in
charge of the trip and the personal
representative of Governor West at the
encampment, returned yesterday morn
lng, being one of the last to get back.
The heat of the East drove all the
others in ahead of him. He called on
the Oregon Senators in Washington and
found them both busy with the tariff.
"It was the most unique and the
most successful affair in the history
of the world," said Captain Shaw in
speaking of the reunion.
Friendship Is Unique.
"The unique part was due to the fact
that men who fought each other as
deadly enemies B0 years ago should
come together as the warmest friends
Why, I saw hundreds of them Yanks
and Johnnies with their arms around
one another's necks and crying like
babies. There was no mistaking the
sincerity of the men on both sides in
their desire to forget the differences
of the past and to live together as
brothers and as comrades of a common
country.
"There was perfect order and sys
tematic arrangement in everything.
The constabulary of the State of Penn
sylvania, the men of the Regular Army,
the Red Cross nurses and the Boy
Scouts worked in perfect unison in
caring for the veterans and the visi
tors. Everything moved like clock
work. "A surprising thing was the remark,
ably low death rate. In that crowd of
men, whose average age was 73 years,
there were but nine deaths. Oregon,
fortunately, did not lose a single man.
Of course, there were many in the
hospitals from heat and minor ailments,
but the excellent hospital service saved
' many lives.
Veteran. Are Well Fed.
"The Regular Army had charge of
the rations. The service was as good
as it is at home. They gave us good,
wholesome food and enough of it.
ome days we would get ic cream, and
.always lemonade and fruit. The men
messed Just as in the days of the war
land it reminded them of old times.
' The Government furnished the mess
kits which the men were allowed to
keep as souvenirs.
"On Thursday evening, July 3, we
had the greatest crowd in camp. That
was Governor's day and they exploded
$7000 worth of fireworks on Little
Round Top. It was a sight worth go
ing far to see.
"I was honored by being appointed
personal representative of the Gov
ernor of Oregon and had my photo
graph taken in the group of Gov
ernors. I stood next to Governor
. Sulzer, of New York.
"One of the most inspiring specta
cles of the celebration was the recep-
. tion to President Wilson on the Fourth.
A tent capable of seating 12,000 per
sons the largest tent in the world
had been erected and every seat was
filled. When the President entered I
thought those old fellows would tear
it down with their shouts. He made a
wonderful impression and delivered a
masterful address. It cheered the vet
erans. At the close of his speech they
crowded about him and he shook hands
with hundreds of them."
Orreon Special on Time.
In spite of the congestion on the
Kastern railroads, due to the heavy
travel ' to Gettysburg, the Oregon spe
cial train arrived there exactly 'on
time. Captain Shaw and the other
veterans have praised the train serv
ice repeatedfai .nwai consistently. In
appreciation of the work done by Cap
tain Shaw in handling the details of
the spectal ana in attending to tn
wants of his comrades on board, th
following resolutions were passed be
fore the special arrived at Gettysburg
and signed by every member or the
party: .
"Whereas, the commander-in-chief of
this campaign has evinced an unrivaled
strategy and an unsurpassable courtesy
and geniality in making all the old
veterans happy during every minute or
this delightful tour; therefore be it
"Resolved, That we, the survivors of
the battle of Gettysburg, do hereby
tender our healtfelt thanks to our dear
old comrade. Captain James P. Shaw,
commissioner, for his very successful
efforts to supply our every want dur
ing this memorable trip to Gettys
burg."

MIns Claire Farry, Who Will
Swim Across the River at the
Oaks With Her Hands and Feet
Tied.
the Willamette River at the Oaks
Amusement Park tonight about 7
o'clock. Miss Farry will have both her
hands and feet tied and will make the
swim "hobbled." '
If successful in her feat, she prom
ises to repeat it Saturday night at the
same time.
Miss Mille Schloth, who taught Miss
Farry how to swim, will accompany
her in Lou Woodward's Windemuth
launch, while emergency swimmers will
row alongside the young woman in a
flat-bottomed boat. . .......
Miss Farry only learned to swim 16
months ago and swam across the Wil
lamette last Summer. If she makes the
hobbled" swim she will be the first
woman ever to succeed. Arthur Cavill
attracted country-wide notice when he
made the exploit in Tillamook Bay.
Miss tarry is both pretty and petite.
She is an amateur and is doing the
swim just to make a record. She has
often made the "hobble" swim in
tank, but this is the first time she will
have made an attempt In open water.
FIRE HOSE TEST ORDERED
Mayor Albee Sees Defective Tubing
at Work, Then Requests Change.
Many defects in new fire hose recont-
ly purchased by the city led to the is
suance yesterday by Mayor Albee' of
an order to inspect and test all hose
in the department, and if necessary
cull out what is on hand and replace
it with hose that will stand the strain
necessary at all fires.
In addition to hose having broken
at several fires recently, the joints leak
and lessen materially the force of
water on the tops of tall buildings, ac
cording to Fire Chief Dowell. Yester
day there was a fire in the Ryan build
ing opposite the City Hall, and the
Mayor saw the new hose leaking in
several places. .
Much of the hose was-DUrchased dur
ing the. last city administration.
