Stubblefield & Peterson, the Twohy

Commander Cunningham Makes
Charge at Opening Session
of State Convention.
fj
WENATCHEE. "Wash., Aug. 31.
(Special.) The charge that the na
tional guard of Washington "is of
ficered by men who are unfit for
active military service," and that
the organization "has become the
rendezvous of the politician and job
hunter," was echoed by C. D. Cun
ningham, of Centralia, commander
of the American Legion, department
of Washington, in his message to
the state convention opening here
today. Immediate remedy of such
conditions was demanded.
Commander Cunningham pointed
out that the American Legion rec
ommended at its convention last
year that officers in the Washington
guard be chosen from men of demon
strated military ability, whose
capacity for service had been shown
in the world war, of whom there
were many in this state. "Those
high in authority in the state gov
ernment have refused to heed these
. recommendations," declared the le
gion head. He did not hesitate to
contrast conditions in Oregon, where
the national guard is officered al
most entirely by world war vet
erans. Convention Is Opened.
The fourth annual convention of
the legion in Washington opened
this morning with approximately
800 delegates and visitors in at
tendance, and will continue unti
Saturday night. Then the "40 and
8" playground society will hold a
promenade at Lake Chelan. Lemuel
L. Bolles, national adjutant of the
legion, representing Hanford Mac-
Nider, national commander, arriveu
today from Yakima. Edward J.
Kivers of Portland and Howard
MacDonald of Seattle, national
heads of the "40 and 8," are in
attendance.
During the convention sessions
the legion leaders of Washington
will decide on some plan for con
tinuing the campaign to erect a
memorial at Centralia to the legion
naires who were shot from ambush
by I. W. W. on Armistice day, 1919,
determine whether or not Ameri
canization work will be carried on
in the state in its present form,
with high-salaried executives, and
will redistrict the state for ltgion
administrative purposes.
Legion Politics Hot.
Internal politics, centering about
the selection of a state commander
for the coming year, have been boil
ing, and a 'bitter fight is expected.
Colonel Paul Weyrauch. wealthy
fruit grower of Walia Walla, de
feated last year for the post, is the
outstanding candidate this year.
His campaign began months ago
and it was reported that his aides
have visited all sections of the
state. -He has said that he has
enough pledges already to win, Dut
the opposition is active and is seek
ing a dark horse.
"Anybody to beat Weyrauch," is
their slogan, and among those most
determined to defeat him are ex
officers of the outfit he commanded
overseas.
Charles H. Paul, commander of
Rainier-Noble post, Seattle, has de
clined to become a candidate. Joe
Kindall of Bellingham is among
those being mentioned for the post.
Henry A. Wise of Seattle has no
opposition as yet for the post of
adjutant-finance officer, for which
he seeks re-election.
GOLD HILL MINES BOOM
QUICKSILVER DEPOSITS
BE DEVELOPED.
TO
Limestone Quarries Also Source
of Wealth to Whole District
Since End of War.
GOLD HILL, Or., Aug. 31-. (Spe
cial.) Gold Hill district has been
writing history ever since placer
gold was discovered in southern
Oregon in 1851. Other vast mineral
resources have since developed and
are being developed. The great
wealth of the gold strike in 1861
made on Gold hill, which gave the
town its name, was the beginning
of production of gold from quartz
veins in this region and made the
district famous.
War put an end to gold produc
tion and all the energies and equip
ment were diverted to producing
war materials. Then came peace,
and Gold Hill has become the lime
stone center of Oregon. Limestone,
converted to cement, commercial
lime, fertilizer, and other products,
has made Gold Hill the banner
shipping point in western Oregon
outside of Portland. Development
of quicksilver deposits in the Gold
Hill district during the war-period
opened up an additional industry.
Cinnabar ore was discovered in
the Gold Hill district in 1878. The
early settlers for a number of years
distilled quicksilver in a crude way
from these deposits to supply the
local placer mines in recovering
fine gold from the black sands col
lecting in the sluice boxes. Early
in the war the government in its
dire need of quicksilver and search
ing for new deposits, found large
and rich deposits of the metal in
this district, which expert and go
ernment survey reports show out
class anything yet discovered in
the United States.
The Chisholm, War Eagle and
Force properties, producing mines
during the war-period, are now pre
paring to resume on a larger scale
to supply the demands of art and
trade for this rare metal. These
properties are contiguous deposits.
The War Eagle has a modern mine
and furnace equipment, and a large
sum of money will be used imme
diately in increasing the output of
the mine. The Chisholm and Force
properties will be reopened on a
larger scale.
