THE SUNDAY OREGOIA, PORTLAND, JULY 12, 190&, 3 JOSHUA M'DANIEL, WELL-KNOWN OREGON PIONEER, PASSES AWAY Crossed Plains to Oregon in 1844, Afterward Settled in Folk Comity, and Fought in Indian War of 1848. FIFTEENTH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOSHUA McDAXIEL a well-known pi oneer o. 1S44. and a veteran of the Cayuse Indian War of 1S48. died at the residence of his daughter. Mrs. George F. White, HO Borthwick street, this city, last Monday. Mr. McDanlel was born In Cumberland County. Ky., February 2, 326. The McDaniel family was of sturdy Scotch-Irish descent, and first settled in the Carolinas long prior to tho Revolu tionary War. The father of the subject of this sketch was a soldier In the war of 1x12. but prior to that date moved Into Kentucky. A few years later he removed to Illinois and finally Into Missouri, set tling in Andrew County, where he died, leaving a widow and seven children. In April. 1844. this family started across the plains to Oregon, in company with Ford. Embree, Gilliam, Shaw, Nicola, Simmons, Bush, Sager, Kindred, Morrison, Jones and .many others. Including John Minto, who afterwards became very well known In connection with publio affairs In this then remote region. The McDaniel family arrived, after a most strenuous ex perience, at Tualatin plains in December, 1S44, and the first work Mr. McDaniel found whereby he could aid his widowed mother was a lob of splitting rails for Caleb Wllkins at J2.00 a hundred. As he was an indefatigable worker, he made 4.00 and sometimes J6.0O a day a decided contrast to what he could make in Mis ouri splitting rails, where the wage of fifty cents a hundred, that number of rails being considered a good day's work In the average Missouri timber. The next year Mr. McDaniel removed to Folk county, and settled permanently in the vicinity of Rickreall. His habits of Industry enabled. him to acquire property, and he soon began farming for himself, and was unusually successful in this avocation up to the last. In response to the call of Governor Abernethy for volunteers to punish the Cayuse Indians for the massacre of Dr. Marcus Whitman, his wife and twelve others on November 23-30, 1847, Mr. Mc Daniel enlisted and rendered efficient lervlce until the war closed by the signal defeat of the Indians. One of the try ing experiences in this Indian service was the carrying of a dispatch from Governor Abernethy to Colonel Gilliam at The Dalles, in April. 1848. With two com panions he left Oregon City and went to the Cascades on horseback, arriving in the evening. Without waiting to rest, the party took a canoe and paddled all night and arrived at The Dalles at sunrise and delivered the message. This exper ience was an indication of the courage these men possessed. There never was I it, -, vf J si - if A tit J t , , V IT ii ViT'n it " -' - J t T The Late Joshua McDaniel. t. 1 any flinching when the call to duty came. Soon after the close of the Cayuse war on October 15, 1848, Mr. McDaniel was married to Miss Virginia A. Fulkerson, a daughter of Hon. James M. Fulkerson, who brought his family to Oregon In 1847. To this union were born twelve children, five of whom one daughter and four sons with the aged widow, now In her SOth year, survive the husband and father. Mr. McDaniel became a member of the Baptist Church in Missouri in 1841, and was one of the six charter mem bers of the Second Baptist Church or ganized in Oregon, which was at Rick reall, July 18, 1846. by Rev. Vincent Snelllng, the first Baptist minister on the Pacific coast, who came to Oregon in 1844. In this church relation Mr. Mc Daniel continued to the day of his death. Late In lfcS3 he took the first degree in Masonry, in Salem Lodge No. 4, but re ceived the second and third degrees in Jennings Lodge No. 9, in the Fall of 1S34. His remains were committed to the earth by the members of this lodge on July 8, the services being conducted in Etna Cemetery, north of Rickreall. G. H. H. ELEPHANT AND "JACK" MAY RACE AT PORTLAND LIVESTOCK FAIR Julius L. Meier Suggests Novel Contest, Symbolical of Present Struggle Between Republican and Democratic Farties. PROBABLY the most unique public contest ever conceived, as an at traction for the coming races and livestock meet, to be held in Portland, was suggested by Chairman Julius L. Meier, at a meeting yesterday of the amusement committee of the Country Club and Livestock Association. Mr. Meier wants to hold an exhibition race between an elephant and a "Jack." It Is to be symbolical of the coming' struggle for supremacy between the Republican and Democratic parties In the present Presidential campaign. The elephant would, of course, repre sent the G. O. P. and the "jack" the party of Bryan, Jackson and Jefferson. He figures that it will be easy to secure an entry for the Democratic side of the "speed" test right here in Oregon, where the best stock of that kind is bred, but has asked the board of di rectors for warrant to secure an ele phant from some circus, animal exhibi tlpn or zoological garden. He plans also to ask the two National commit tees .to give official sanction to the race, to hang up a purse for the win ner, and to have the contest held under the direction of the two National com mitteemen of Oregon. The particularly interesting feature of this unique event lies in the fact that it is a Presidential year and the entire Nation is concerned as to the outcome of the campaign. For that reason. Mr. Meier feels that such a race would be the greatest drawing card of the entire meet. The meeting of the committee at which the matter came up was to con sider the 100 or more applications which have been made to the club for concessions, features and various at tractions. No final action was taken. The following is Chairman Meier's letter to President Reed, asking fdr authority to arrange for the "grand National Republlco-Democratic race": S. G. Reed, President and Chairman, Board of Directors, Country Club and Livestock Association, City: Dear Sir 1 have suggested to our amusement committee an Idea for a most novel and attractive feature at the coming Pacific National meet, and the members concur with me. This is Presidential year, and of course the entire country is primarily Interested in the strategic movements of the cam paign between now and the Fall elec tion in November. No doubt the battle will be waged with more or less vigor in this state, because of the peculiar political situation in which we now find ourselves. While the entertain ment and amusement feature to which I refer has no political aspect, it has to do with the present Presidential campaign and the struggle of -the two great parties, and is therefore of in terest. My plan is this: Let us. if we pos sibly can, secure a speed contest, a race around our track at the coming meet between an elephant as representative of the Republican party, and a donkev. iack or burro, as symbolical of the democratic party. Of course, I appre ciate the fact that it will be extremely difficult to secure a trained elephant, unless we be so fortunate as to find one .in some zoological garden, or from some traveling circus, but I believe it is worth trying, for I am sure no more unique or timely feature could ever be provided for the entertainment of the thousands who will attend the week s meet. Another point that might be raised as an objection Is the apparent walk-away that an elephant would have over a Jack, for It is known that elephants can outrun the fleetest horses, but this Is in their native state, before man has trapped, bound, subju gated them and kept them in close cap tivity for years. I am sure that the handicap would be slight indeed, if any at all, between a captive elephant, even though he be trained, and a wide awake jack uch as Mr. Campbell could easily supply us with. It might appeal to the directors as an expensive undertaking, but the ad vertising value of this "stunt" would be worth more than any cost it might entail. If the board of directors will author ize the committee to take such action and go to the necessary expense, I will take the matter up by letter or wire at once with the chairmen of the Re publican and Democratic National Com mittees, asking them to give their of ficial sanction to the contest, to put up a purse or trophy for the winner, to select the mount for the elephant and the rider for the jack, and further I will ask the Republican National committeemen and the Democratic Na tional committeemen of this state to conduct all preliminary arrangements for the race, that the event may be taken entirely out of our hands, to eliminate the suspicion of "playing politics." Our committee will get in communi cation right away with animal gardens, circuses and similar exhibitions and see if we cannot secure a suitable ele phant for the contest. We will do this pending instructions from the board. In case this suggestion appeals to you. will you kindly advise me at the earliest possible moment, as the time Is extremely short for completing de tails. Very trulv vours. JULIUS L.

It is very significant, too, that against all custom no official inquiry, is being conducted into the affair, and the yacht is now in drydock at Portsmouth to have a new propeller fitted, in readiness for the Queen to embark on board for Copen hagen the middle of next month. NEWS COMES FROM COOK Arctic Kxplorer Was Alive and Well in December. JCBW YORK. July U. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, the explorer who is trying to reach the North Pole by a new route through Nansen Strait., and whose friends were fearful that he had met dis aster in the frozen North, has been heard from. A letter written by the explorer last December was received today by his wife, who is living in Brooklyn, stating that he hoped to start for his goal in Jan uary. No word had been received from Dr. Cook since last October, and his friends announced recently that an effort would be made to send an expedition to find him. The letter received today was written at Oomanui, YVetenholme Sound, and bears date of December 6, 1907. It is as follows: "I take this opportunity to send a letter to Upernivik by Rasmussen during this moon, and I must hasten to report our progress to the present. I have 100 dogs and as many rhore as I desire, with 13 of the best men of the tribe assembled here for the attack over the new road across Elsmoreland. out by way of Nan sen Strait, and back by Kennedy Channel, thus using to good advantage the drift and the musk oxen in fcilsmoreland. All of my equipment is ready-and we hope to Mart for the goal late in January.

King Edward . has given an object-lesson to those snobbish officers In the Army and Navy who put up a barrier to exclude from their society men who by merit alone have risen from the ranks. When the King was aboard the royal yacht at Reval to meet the Czar he conferred honors upon Lieutenant Bice, who had been promoted to the commissioned rank after having served for many years as a carpenter. When Lieutenant Rice was presented to the King on his promotion. His STaJes ty pinned on his breast the cross of the Victoria order and afterwards invited him to the royal dinner party, where he, on behalf of himself and the Queen,' presented him with a scarfpin with the monogram E. and A. In diamonds, sur mounted by the royal crown. SILLY SEASON IN LONDON German Gossips Attempt to Wreck King Edward's Yacht. LONDON. July 11. (Special.) That somebody tried to wreck King Edward's new royal yacht while it was passing through the Kiel Canal on its way to Reval, where the King met the Czar, is the opinion of many people hre, but it is Impossible to get at the facts. This much Is certain, however, that the ut most reticence is being observed with regard to the Iops of one of the propellers of the Alexandra in the canal and that some naval officials are inclined to doubt if it was purely an accident. There was at the time of the passage LAKE OF OIL IN FLAMES Great Conflagration in New Mexican Petroleum Fields. CHICAGO. July 11. A dispatch to the Tribune from the City of Mexico says: A lake of oil covering an area of more than one square mile and of unknown depth in the State of "Vera Cruz is on Are. It has been burning for Ave days and has created the wildest terror among the na tives of that section. The blaze is seen for more than 200 miles at sea. according to navigators who have arrived at Vera Cruz and Tampico. The scene of the fire is about 75 miles southeast of Tampico near the San Gero nimo River. It is remote from any rail road. An oil field was being developed at that place by the Pennsylvania Oil Company, which is composed of Pittsburg men. The company had bored a number of wells and all of them were flowing oil in large quantities. The product was being placed in earthen storage tanks preparatory to shipping. A careless workman accidentally set fire to one of the wells and the flames were communicated to the underground reservoir of oil. A terrific explosion oc curred which uplifted the earth's surface throughout the whole field. The explo sion was heard 75 miles distant. The oil company lost $200,000 worth of machinery and millions of barrels of oil. The whole oil field will be destroyed. WILD PRINCE IS MISSING Servians Hope Heir Apparent Will Never Return. BERLIN, July 11. (Special.) Crown Prince George of Servta, whom many be lieve to be Insane and who was recently accused of having hatched a plot to drive the ruler of the little principality of Montenegro, Prince Danilo, from his throne, has disappeared from Belgrade, but his father. King Peter, is probably the only one who worries, while the people in general are rejoicing and hoping he will never return. The young Prince left the royal konak in the middle of the night and was seen by the sentries walking towards the Danube. As his yacht is gone and was seen steaming down the river the fol lowing morning it is thought the madcap Prince is cruising somewhere In the Black Sea. HOPE OF LAND LAW REFORM Retirement of Hansbrough Reriioves Obstacle From Way. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 11. The defeat of Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, may open the way to reform in the land laws in the 61st Congress. Up to a short time ago Mr. Hansbrough was chairman of the committee on public lands and was able to use that position to prevent legislation urgently recom mended by President Roosevelt and the Public Lands Commission. True. Mr. Hansbrough Introduced and pressed various bills changing the land laws, but somehow Hansbrough land bills did not take with Congress, nor did they carry out the desires and recom mendations of the President. They were introduced for the purpose of con vincing the people of North Dakota that Mr. Hansbrough had changed front on the land question and had fallen in line with the administration, but they failed of their purpose. It was said around the capitol, when Mr. Hansbrough was pressing his "re form" bills, that a deal had been made with the House committee to table any thing that might get through the Sen ate, but the occasion never arose whereby this deal could be carried out. It is true Mr. Hansbrough is no lonirer Baseball RECREATION PARK Cor. Vaughn and Twenty-fourth Sts. SAN FRANCISCO vs. PORTLAND July 7, 8, 9, 10. 11. 12. Games begin weekdays 3:30 P.
