THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 18, 1915. FEATURES ADDED TO BIG CELILO FETE Lock Transfer Celebration at Oregon City to Be Part of Programme. TRAIN FARE IS TO BE FREE Oregon Portage Hallway Offers Service From The Dalles Cardi nal Kvont Opening at Big Eddy ' on Afternoon of Slay 5. "Within the past few days many new features have been added to the big celebration of the opening: of the Celllo Canal, -which will take the form of a river pageant from Lewiston, Idaho, to Astoria, punctuated with special programmes at all of the im portant cities along the way. Of especial attraction in the pro gramme Just issued by the committee Is the celebration to be held at Ore gon City, May 6, in connection with the formal transfer of the Willamette Locks to the United States Govern ment. This celebration links up the entire "Willamette Valley with the crowd of celebrants that comes from '.lie cities of the Inland Empire and the Upper Columbia, and will augment greatly the fleet that will sail into the harbor of Portland on the afternoon of May C. and will proceed down to As toria on the following day. A special celebration at Arlington lias been added to the programme also, and is set for May 4, between the cele brations at Umatilla and at Maryhlll, Washington. Paasenser fare to Be Fr. In the close of the week's programme will be the Waterways' Convention at Astoria and the preliminary celebra tion of the 123d anniversary of the dis covery of the Columbia River, by Cap tain Robert Gray, which will be cele brated formally on May 11. The cardinal event, however, which is. to be celebrated and around which centers the interest of all of this erreat voyugo from Lewiston to Astoria, Is the opening of the Dalles-Celilo Canal at Big Eddy, at 2 P. M.. May 6. Trains of the Oregon Portage Railway will carry passengers free all day between The Dalles and Cclilo, and the river craft that have come down from Lew iston and other Upper River cities, will assemble for the ceremony In the canal baxin. The hlBtory of the events that led tip to the beginning of the engineer ing project, whose culmination In the opening of this canal Klves an open river gateway of transportation from the whole Inland Empire to the Hea, is a story of the untiring efforts of public-spirited representatives of the State of Oregon in Congress and in the State Legislature. M. A. Moody Originator of Plan. About 13 years ago the party In power chose M. A. Moody to repre sent It In the National Assembly, suc ceeding himself. One ot the chief reasons was that Mr. Moody had an idea la his mind that he wlBhed to follow up during another term to a successful termination. That was the removal of the obstructions In the Columbia River at The Dalles and Tumwater Falls by a system of locks, thereby opening a great waterway to the sea. It was now up to Mr. Moody to show Kenator Burton, of Ohio, the chairman, who was dubious, and the other river and harbor committeemen, who also were dubious, that Ms Oregon con stituency were people of their word and also knew what the country need ed. Therefore, during the Hummer of 1902, this distinguished committee, under Mr Moody's leadership, came to Ureson and visited the Grand Dalles of the Columbia and by steamboat made a special trip to the head of navigation. Our needs were up to the committee so strongly that at the next session the river and harbor committee re ported favorably on the proposed plan, provided, however, if the United States Board of Kngrineers should say that this amount would cover the cost. At this time Oregon's Legislature was divided somewhat In this manner in its representation, the Willamette section having 70 votes, while Eaatern OreKon had only 20. This was the session when N. Whealdon represented Wasco County in the council of state and, it is said, who worked day and night to persuade some of the 70 to help the Kastern Oregon vote. BATTERY A TO HAVE TRIP Militia to Participate in Artillery Maneuvers at Monterey. Official announcement was made by Adjutant-General White yesterday that Battery A. Field Artillery, of the Ore gon National Guard, stationed at Port land, would be sent to Monterey, Cal., lor joint exercises with the field artil lery of the regular Army. The battery will leave here about June 14 and will remain in camp In California until June 26. The United States Government will place field guns and equipment at Monterey at the disposal of the Oregon troops so that it will not be necessary for them to take their own equipment. The men will be trained in the use of the guns under regular Army offi cers and will be put through various maneuvers and brought in contact with conditions similar to those which would prevail in actual warfare. The War Department has set aside $5000 to defray the expenses of the battery. General White said that the battery would go to California about 100 strong. First Liautenant George B. Otterstodt is in command of Battery A. Jt is believed, however, that a bat- tery commander will be appointed to take the place of Captain H. U. Welch, who resigned some time ago, before the ; battery leaves for the south. SCHOOL MEEDS DISCUSSED Exceptional Children Study Society Hears Ijiidd Teacher. "Investigation and Recognition of Talent" was discussed by Miss Anna E. Rogers, teacher at the I.add School, is her address at the meeting of the or ganization for the study of exceptional children held at the Courthouse Fri day. Miss Rogers has studied in Europe and while there she devoted a great deat of time to tha educational systems of Germany, France and Switzerland. Miss Rogers said that legislation, making special provision for the teach ing ot exceptional children, seemed to be far distant. The speaker predicted, however, that a plan ultimately would be worked out which would be worthy of a place in the educational system of America. .

Second 3 ran In Triangle Is Still Behind "the Bars. OREGON CITY, Or, April 17. Spe cial.) Alex Sandstrom is thought to have eloped with his wife by county officials, who have lost track of the couple. Mrs. Sandstrom was arrested, with Herman Halbach. and was bound over to the grand jury. Friday night her bondsmen appeared before Justice Sie vers and asked- that they be released from all obligations. The request was granted and the woman was allowed to go on her own recognizance. Halbach is now In Jail serving out a fine of S25( which was imposed a year ago. Mrs. Bertha Sandstrom left her home In Los Angeles last November to visit friends in 1 ortland.

Although at first Sandstrom declared he would not intercede for his wife, but would allow the law to take its course, it is understood that they have become reconciled. J. A. Halbach, who saw the two in the house at Bolton Friday, says they were packing her clothes and appeared friendly. JITNEY FRAUD IS CHARGED Stuck Bought Above Iar but Prom ised Jobs Are Lost.
