VETEKXS ARRIVING AT THE BOSTOX 2 TEG BOSTOJT FIRING SALITE; 3 CASTING FLOWERS INTO
THE WILLAMETTE.
EROES who sleep beneath the
ocean's waves, we strew these
flrwrra in token that the Na
tion does not forget, and that when
danger calls we will remember our
brave exemplars."
With these words repeated In unison
by a large assemblage of veterans and
other patriots on board the cruiser Bos
ton, maeses of roses were thrown into
the Willamette at noon yesterday in
solemn : memorlaV'to 'the heroes of the
Nation's wars, whose bodies rest in
the ocean.
The services were impressive im
pressive to the. circle of ellvery-haired
Grand Army veterans and their wives
and impressive to the veterans of the
Spanish-American war, the Indian wars
and to the soldiers and sailors of today
who stood by with uncovered heads.
About the prayers and music of the
veterans was the din of cannon fired
by members of the Oregon Naval Mili
tia as a salute to the departed heroes.
Twenty-one guns were fired at one
minute intervals.
This part of the programme started
with a parade shortly after 11 o'clock.
Members of various posts of the Grand
Army, the Women's Relief Corps and
the Sons of Veterans, under the direc
tion of Commander Schnabel and Mrs.
Margaret Reed, assembled at the Court
house, and, headed by officers of the
Oregon Naval Militia, marched with
flags' and flowers down Fourth street
to Stark to the municipal dock.
Two large boats, manned by blue
jackets from the cruiser Boston, took
the visitors to the'tiesseL
The veterans gathered on the quar
ter deck, and. led by Chaplain Olson,
of the Oregon Naval Militia, engaged
in prayer, after which a hymn was
sung by the veterans, led by & veteran
quartet. To the strains of hymns and
the boom of guns armfuls of roses were
cast overboard.
The veterans of the Grand Army
threw their flowers over first, repeat
ing a memorial salute. They were fol
lowed by Sons of Veterans. Among
the flowers was a rose shield, bearing
a silk flag and several miniature bat
tleships which was committed to the
water by the Oregon Naval Militia.
Completing the programme the vet
erans marched from the municipal
boat landing to Front street and disbanded.
LOOP TRIP TO START
Portland, Eugene & Eastern
Adds New Service Today.
VALLEY TOWNS ON ROUTE
S. T. Vincent, President of Realty
Board. Declares Sucli Facilities
Ployed Hisr Part in Develop
ing Soutliprn California.
Looping the loop aboard electric ln
terurban cars, a pastime that has be
come mighty popular in Southern Cal
ifornia and to which much of the de
velopment of the country adjacent to
Los Angeles is attributed, will begin
in Oregon today. At X o'clock the first
special loon train run by the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Company will head
into the heart of the Willamette vsj
tev for a six hours' trip. The train
will ro out on the West Side of the
Willamette Valley, passing through
Forest Grove. HUlsboro and other
towns to McMlnnville. where a two
hour stop will be made. Leaving Mc-
Minnvilie at S o'clock, the return trip
will be through Kewberg. the gardens
and small fruit districts of Sherwood
and Beaverton, arriving In Portland at
7 o clock.
"This loop service Ls the most im
portant thln- that has developed in the
plans of those who are hoping to aia
in the growth and settlement of the
Willamette Valley," said S. D. Via
cent, president of the Portland Realty
Board.
"I understand that it ls the begin
ning in Oregon by the Southern Pa
cific Company of the same class and
quality of co-operative service that the
same railroad interests gave to South
ern California. Down there the trains
have been so well patronized that they
have been placed on a daily schedule,
and not a tourist is allowed to leave
Los Angeles without traveling through
the famous Y country.
"To Portland this train means that
residents of the city will have oppor
tunity to inspect the great district to
the south of the city, learn to know
what is being done out there in plant
ing the hillsides and valleys with
wealth producing rrops, and above all
else will be able to procure informa
tion from these trips upon which in
telligent direction may be given to the
men who are coming to Oregon in
quest of lands for homes or for busi
ness locations.
"To our detriment, aa a state, there
now exists a vast amount of ignorance
of the resources of Western Oregon.
This loop trip will replace that condi
tion b giving a glimpse of a district
that is a sample of all the valleys be
tween Portland and Ashland.
"Besides all that, the train will run
through a beautiful country, a district
where nature gratifies the eye and
where it is profitable to pass a day In
pleasure, if for nothing else."
Those who make the trip will have
the privilege of stopping off at any
city en route and returning' on any reg
ular Sunday train. At most of the
larger cities the train will be met by
representative citizens, who will ten
der their aid in showing .visitors
through the adjacent districts.

GOVERNOR STATE TABASCO.
How officials of the present Mexican
government axe Instilling hatred
against the Americans In the hearts of
the ignorant Mexican peons is amply
illustrated by the reports of C. A. Mc
JoUnston. manager of a rubber planta
tion in the state of Tabasco, In which
a number of Portland persons are In
terested. In a letter to C. V. Cooper, a local
official of the rubber concern. Mr. Mc
Johnston details his experiences In
reaching American soil and sends cop
ies of letters and bulletins issued by
President Kurrta and other officials in
which such American "atrocities" as
the sinking of a German and a Span
ish cruiser in the harbor of Vera Cruz
are elaborately lgftribed and. the cap
ture of Fort Bliss by Mexican Federal
prisoners is stated as a matter of posi
tive fact.
Mexican Bulletin Reproduced.
Following ls an English copy of a
bulletin printed at Frontera, Mexico on
April 27:
The barbarous North Americans now suf.
fer the consequences of their daring attack.
We have here the latest confirmed news:
The garrison of Vera Cruz admirably con
ducted the defense of the city; the brave
sons of Spain uniting with them to butcher
the brigands of Wilson.
There is a valid rumor that the Span
ish cruiser Cartoi V and a German war ves
sel upon interfering In order that the bar
barous Yankees might not bombard Vera
Crus were lired upon by one of the Yankee
vessels.
The alumni of the Naval Academy hon
ored the memory of the boy heroes of
Chapultepec, holding their ground until the
last cartridge was nred.
The Government troops are at Soledad
prepared to cut all communication and im
pede the advance of the blonde beasts.
The . military college In Mexico City ls
ready to leave to join the troops In Soledad
and all other colleges are prepared for the
combat.
Fifteen thousand volunteers are enrolled
and ready for war.

SCENE FROM "THE MASTER MIND" AT THIS PEOPLE'S THEATER
Bliss, upon hearing ot the' Yankee attempt
in Vera Crus, raised in arms against their
custodians, killing 200 of them and taking
immediate possession of Bl Paso.
Zapata has surrendered to the govern
ment and ls marching , toward Mexico City
to fight the enemy, villa has also ear
rendered to General Velasco and tho two
forces combined make a total of 50.000 men
which will march to invade American territory.
Kxtraeta Taken Fran Letter.
Following are extracts from Mr. Mc-
Johnston's letter written at New Or
leans on May 8:
"Tt seems that at last the Adminis
tration has been forced to do some
thing, though from the latest papers
they are still looking for some means
of peaceful settlement. If they don't
go in and lick them good and proper
now. it will be the greatest mistake of
all.
"Montecrtsto (which ls 125 miles in-
land from Frontera) was very much
excited when the news came that the
Americans had taken Vera Crus. but
there was no anti-American demonstra
tion. The Jefe Politico (Magistrate)
offered us all protection within his
power and did not want us to leave.
In Frontera anti-American sentiment
ran high, though there was no attack
made.
"Immediately after the occupation
of Vera Cruz by American forces the
Hiierta government gave orders that
no telegrams signed by Americans be
accepted. Neither to accept telegrams
from Mexican to Mexican if they con
tained any communication for - an
American, so we were completely cut
off from all communication. No out
side mail has been delivered In Mexico
since the taking of Vera Cruz.
Mexicans in Frontera that would
formerly give me a hug, this timi
would pass with barely a nod if they
saw me at all. Public bulletins went
posted calculated to incite public sen
timent and secure volunteers to repulse
the 'gringoes.' The rumor that tin
Americans had sunk the Carlos V
(Spanish cruiser) In Vera Cru was re
sponsible for the enrollment of a num
ber of Spaniards, most of whom ar
merchants, even though they are not in
sympathy with Huerta. do not dare side
with the United States for fear their
business will be destroyed."
CARLTON PAVING VOTED

provement to Cost 950,000.
