(Continued From First Page.) was sent to the front, and soon saw service with the Army of the Potomac. He soon won a Place as sergeant. Subsequent promotion made him Sec ond Lieutenant. With his command he took part in the second battle of Bull Hun. Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Spottsyl vania. Wilderness and the siege before Petersburg. His brigade was badly shattered by this fierce campaign and before the end of the war late in 1854, in fact was withdrawn and sent north to recruit. Regular Army Joined. When the war was over the young Lieutenant elected to cast his lot with the regular Army. He was assigned to the Thirtieth Infantry. His regiment soon -was sent into the Western plains to guard the forces building the Union Pacific Railroad. They also found much to do in preventing attacks on white settlements by the Indians. His gallantry won recognition, and in 1868 he was promoted to a Cap taincy. Two years later he was trans ferred to the cavalry and was Captain of a troop In the Modoc, Nez Perce and Bannock Indian wars. This service brought him into the Northwest. In the succeeding few years he was stationed at various times at Fort Klamath, in Oregon: Fort Walla Walla, Colville, Coeur d'Alene, Keogh and Custer, in Washington, Idaho and Montana. Recruiting Work Alto Done. The Indian uprisings having been successfully quelled, in. 1866 he was recalled to New York City to assist ini recruiting service and subsequently was detailed as inspector-general of the di vision of the Atlantic. Three years later. In 1889, he was made a Major of the Second Cavalry and assigned to duty at Fort Lowell, Ariz. That post was abandoned and he was sent to Fort Wingate, N. M. It was while serving there that he was de tailed with the Oregon National Guard, reporting to the Governor of the state in 1892 and taking up his residence in Portland. At the time of the Spanish-American War Governor Lord appointed him Inspector-General of the State of Oregon, with the rank of Colonel, and he as sisted in organizing the Second Oregon Volunteers, which was one of the first sent to the Philippines. He was reap pointed successively by Governor Ge?r, Governor Chamberlain, Governor West and Governor Withyconie. Promotion If Gained. In February of this year Senator Chamberlain secured the passage of a bill in Congress that placed Colonel Jackson on the retired list with the rank of Brigadier-General. General Jackson was a member of many patriotic, civic and fraternal or ganizations. He was affiliated with the Sons of the American Revolution, the military order of the Loyal Legion and of Lincoln-Garfield Post of the Grand Army. He has held various offices re peatedly in each of these organizations. He also belonged to the New York Club and the Army and Navy Club, of New York City, and the Portland Chamber of Commerce. General Jackson is survived by his widow and a daughter, Miss Marion Beach Jackson. Son's Death SerlouMly Affects. A son. Rhees Jackson, went to the Philippines as First Lieutenant and battalion adjutant of the Second Oregon and on account of gallantry and effi cient service was recommended for commission In the regular Army. His service in the Army soon merited pro motion and he was made a Captain. During field maneuvers at El Paso, Tex., a fgw years ago, he was thrown from his horse and almost instantly killed. General Jackson grieved severe ly over the loss of his son and it seemed to affect him physically. However, he retained his usual vigor and health until a few short months ago. He was imbued with a love of his country and its people and retained an intense patriotism even through his declining years. On the occasion of the preparedness parade in Portland last June he took a most active part, both In the prepara tion and in the actual demonstration. He was alawys on hand at all military turnouts, ana his presence invariably inspired the younger soldiers with add ed patriotic fervor. Oakville Debaters Klect. CENTRA LI A, Wash., Oct. 21.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 21. (Special.) Republicans should feel fairly safe In so far as their Congressional dele gation Is concerned. If the week's re ports are any indication of relative strength. There is a possibility. If not a proba bility, that Representative C. C. Dill. Democrat, will be re-elected in the Fifth District; there are Indications that Mrs. Frances Axtell is making an aggressive campaign In the Second Dis trict as a Progressive-Democratic can didate, 'but all the reports that drift Into political headquarters indicate that John F. Miller, Republican, will defeat George F. Cotterlll. Democrat, In the First District and that Representative Albert Johnson and U. L. Lafollette will be re-elected In the Third and Fourth, respectively. Both are Repub licans. The Axtell danger In the Second Dis trict, where Congressman Lin. N. H ad ley seeks re-election, is one that the uncertainty of women's votes creates. Her campaigners have been busy writ ing letters, interviewing various wom en s organizations and in other ways attempting .to make her a woman's Representative. Bid Made for AV. C. T. V. The temperance question has been in jected into the fight without much ap parent reason, but at the same time giving Mrs. Axtell an argument upon which to appeal to W. C. T. U. support. She served for one session In the Leg islature as a Progressive, but voted erratically with the Democrats, Bull Moose and Republicans. In her home town. Bellingham. she Is rather prominent and Influential, but. for that matter, her Republican oppo nent. Representative Hadley, also is strong in that section of the district. An unprejudiced analysis of the sit uation would give Hadley the bettwi- of the fight. Republican managers claim his re-election; the Democrats have not gotten beyond the position of declaring that "You must look out for Mrs. Axtell." The Fifth District situation Is one that would naturally favor Dill, the Democratic nominee. , Corkrry at Disadvantage. Dill was elected two years ago be cause of the unpopularity of a Repub lican nominee rather than the district actually was Democratic. This time he runs against Tom Corkery. of Spokane, a former radical Bull Moose, who w nor.-inated by a narrow plurality over his closest opponent in a field of seven. t is not altogether clear that all fac tions have been satisfied and are sup porting Corkery. Corkery cannot make the aggressive campaign that his opponent. Dill, is making, for he has none of the advan tages of a man in office and backed by a well-stocked campaign fund. Then, too. Dill has Industriously applied hiir self since election to looking after every fad of his constituents and has probably written more letters to cn stituents than any other Congressman ever sent from this state. These are im portant considerations, for .Jills con stituency feels that it is In personal touch with Its Representative. If polls are to be believed or to be credited at all, the tests that have been taken in different parts of the state indicate that United States Senator Miles Poindexter will be re-elected. He loi tered through the primary campaign and did not go Into the final election fight with much vim. regarding th outcome as reasonably certain and wholly favorable to himself. Poindexter Is Stlrrln. The loitering in the primaries result ed in avoiding the danger of estranging the regular Republican support, which went to Congressman Will E. Hum phrey. The delay in Polndexter's active campaigning afterward has given time for political sores to heal. Now, at psychological moment, Poindexter has put pepper into his fight and is begin ning to campaign vigorously for his ticket. Probably the Republican drift to Turner is underestimated, for Turner unquestionably has a big support among old-time residents of the -tte. who appreciate his ability and know his record in the Northwest. However, it 1 plainly evident that the pro-Turner drift is not as strong as it was a month ago and it also is easily 'apparent that the anticipated insurrection of Bull Moose against Polnderter has not oc curred. If the humor strikes him, Poindexter can arouse more, enthusiasm than Tur ner in a stump-speechlng tour, and it seems during the past few days that the idea of bestirring himself has oc curred to Poindexter. If so. the junior Senator is due for a whirlwind finish to his fight, with odds already in his favor. LEATHER IS REAL TEST "O 4-1 1' fortiana s Best Moe More IvOSeiltlial S 129 10th St., Bet.

Wednesday night LUMBERMEN In the selling: of shoes the value of the leather in them is of greatest importance. While shoe men may boast, with just pride or for advertising purposes, of the Btyle and finish of their shoes, yet the real test of the merit of shoes is the durability of the leather in them. A pair of shoes that wears well is kept in service long after fine finish has been kicked off and the new style has been forgotten. If the leather wears well, the wearer calls for a pair of shoes like them. When you figure the wearing qualities, EXCLUSIVE STYLE, comfort and lasting satisfaction to be obtained only in Hanan -Shoes, you will find, as we have found, that they are really the cheapest shoe to buy in the end. SOLE AGENTS FOR THESE CELEBRATED SHOES S. 6? H. Green dinner will be given the visitors by Oregon lumbermen. Arrangements for the conference are being made by K. T.
