Determination to secure from the coming: Legislature the appropriation of $25,000 necessary to carry out Ore gon's share in the programme of the Northwest Tourist Association waa crystallized at an enthusiastic meeting called by the beard of directors of the association at the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternoon. Representatives of various civic or ganizations, members of the Legislature and others interested in the vast cam paign that the Northwest plans to draw hither its share of the $700,000.-000-a-year tourist travel of the United States were in attendance at the meet ing: ana, participated in the discussion that followed the outlining of the plan by Herbert Cuthbert, of Victoria, B. C, secretary of the association. "The plan of the campaign is to fill the world, wherever there are people who travel, with information about the tourist attractions in the Northwest," he said. "We intend that it shall be so that a man cannot go anywhere without getting this information. The only limit to the thoroughness with which we will cover the world in this advertising campaign will be the funds at our disposal. Board Is Disinterested, i "For those who fear that the money may be in the hands of men who will handle it in a prejudiced manner, it might be well to point out that the 24 men in Ihe board which has carried this organization on this far are neither interested in the hotel nor the railway business and that they have put up out of their own pockets the money to carry it on thus far. Surely the people of the Northwest can trust a committee of men who are un prejudiced and who are in the work merely for the sake of doing all they can to help the Northwest get her share of the tourist crop." Mark Woodruff, of the Chamber of Commerce, supplemented the words of Mr. Cuthbert. "If anyone imagines that the pro posed fund will go Into large local salaries," he said, "he may dismiss that idea. We have already arranged things so that the overhead expenses will be taken care of without touching the principal of the fund appropriated by the states, and so that every cent of the appropriation can go directly into the publicity material and the cam paign without the states." , O. W. Taylor Is Heard. , O. W. Taylor, president of the goods roads committee, which was meeting at the same hour in the Chamber of Com merce, was introduced and addressed the association briefly, pointing out that the two organizations were in the best possible position to co-operate, the one contemplating bringing the tourist and the other contemplating making it possible for the tourist to travel about after he comes. Following the general meeting, the board held an executive session in which it worked on routine business of the organization and read the consti tution. Before the adjournment, however, every man present representing a com munity in Oregon pledged himself to bend every effort to inform his repre sentatives in the Legislature of the importance of making the appropria tion. Phil Bates, who has been canvass ing the state, reported that the senti ment among the legislators was found favorable in Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregoiv but that in the Wil lamette Valley, in the counties lying adjacent to Portland, the worst oppo sition had been found. Thie. he de clared, can be overcome if the legis lators from those counties can be given a clear presentation of the merits of the case. Collective Advertising Planned. The general plan includes British ColumfiTa, Washington and Oregon and contemplates advertising the scenic at tractions of this section collectively for one great tourist trip. The plans will necessitate an appro priation of J6Z.500 a year for two years of which $25,000 will be appropriated by Washington, an equal sum by Ore gon each year, and the remainder by British Columbia. Both Washington and British Columbia are practically assured of their share already, and Oregon will make a determined cam paign which is expected to bring fa vorable action on the appropriation in" the coming election. Members of the Board who were present at the meeting yesterday were: i-mery Olmstead, of Portland, vice president for Oregon; Herbert Cuthbert, or Victoria, B. c. secretary: F. L. Wal- lingford and H. W. Davison, of Van couver, B. C; W. P. Paine, of Spokane; Captain I. M. Howell, of Olympla: C. F. Nolte, of Bellingham; R. L. Sparger of Seattle; W. J.

TWELTH COMPANY DRILLS Hood River Shows Pride In Guard r Artillery Organization. ' HOQl RIVER, Or.. Jan. 6. (Snacial.) Not -since the organization of the Twelfth Company, Coast Artillery Corps, Oregon National Guard, has the company created eo much interest among townsmen 'as on, last night, when dress parade was participated in JANUARY 8 IS ANNIVERSARY OF BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS C. E. Cline Recalls Grandfather's Story of Engagement With British and of General Jackson's Prayer Before Enemy Reaches Cotton Defenses BT C. E. CLINE. T maternal grandfather, Elijah Taulbee, a Kentucky mountain eer, who settled in the early '30s north of Vandalia. Fayette County, Illi nois, was in the battle of New Orleans, and gave to his children . and - grand children an account of' that historic event which ran in substance, as I re call his story, as follows: The battle opened soon after the break of day on the morning of Janu ary 8, 1815. and lasted less than two hours. . General Jackson's army was a motley horde a few,United States reg ulars and marines, a lot of Creoles picked "up around .New Orleans, several hundred free negroes, with the main body Kentucky and Tennessee Scotch- Irish experienced fighters and the best allround men in the Nation, General Jackson himself being a typical Scotch Irishman. The American Army num bered in all 6000 men, equipped, most of them, with long-barreled, rifles be longing to the men themselves, guns they had used killing deer and Indians. The British force, under General Packenham. brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington, a brave and competent officer, consisted of 10,000 picked vet erans, schooled In the art of war, under the eye of the hero of Waterloo. Fighting Interrupted Breakfast. On the morning of the battle, before the Americans were through eating their breakfast of corn cakes baked in the ashes, bacon and coffee, the en gagement was precipitated by the Brit ish. Jackson's men had - the day before thrown up a. ridge of earth on which a line of logs were placed, under which the men could Bhoot, the log serving as a protection for their heads when firing at the approacning roe. Another line of defense, at another angle had been made of cotton bales, laid -end to end, which proved to be a splendid protec tion. The main charge of the English soldiers coming in front of the cotton bales. Packenham's plan, with unlimited confidence in the valor of his men. was to carry these works by an overwhelm ing bayonet charge, counting thereby i on a general stampede of the Ameri cans, and herein was the fatal reckon ing. " Jackson's troops. If a lot of nonde scripts, could- be called troops, were tolled off by ones and twos, with In structions that when the first numbers had fired, they should drop back, quick ly load and fire and so on. The eventful moment had arrived. On came the British, formed enroasse and well closedup. Not a sound of any sort was heard, save the strains of a couple of bagpipes with the British, proudly playing "Cock o" the North." General Jackson had sent the order along his lines: "Hold steady and don't fire till you can see the buekles on their belts, then shoot low." As if on dress parade, the British veterans of many a hard-fought field advanced, nothing daunting. General Jackson did not curse and swear at this Juncture, as has been re ported of him. but reverently removed his hat and turning his face toward heaven said: "O God, help us!" Quickly after this was heard the British commander, with stentorian voice. command "Double Quick! Charge!!" Veterana Scattered Among; Recruits. , General Jackson, for reasons best known to himself, had taken the pre caution of distributing some of his Ken tucky and Tennessee men. every man of whom- he knew personally, among the other forces, regulars and marines included, and none of whom had ever been in such an assault as awaited them, by men who had successfully withstood Napoleon's Marshals in the Spanish campaign. Swiftly now, on came the British 75 60 and now only 40 yards. "Fire!" rang out the shrill, but pene tratlng voice of General Jackson. Xt being -early, in the morning the at - Olrmpla; V. J. Hofmann, of Portland; Oak street, the city's main business thoroughfare. The drilling artillery men were headed by the Oregon Agri cultural College Cadet Band, the mem bers of which gave a concert at the Armory following the drill. Five hundred spectators lined the streets watching the drill. Not for a quarter of a century, when old Com pany D won honors In military drills, has such pride been manifested in a Hood River military organization. TWO STEAMERS ARE SUNK Carlyle, of Britain, and Xaesborg, of Denmark, Destroyed. LONDON, Jan. . Lloyd's shipping agency announces the British steamer Carlyle and the Danish steamer Naes borg have been sunk. The crews were saved. The Carlyle measured 466 gross tons and was owned in Dundee. The Naes- borg, of 1547 gross tons, was owned In Copenhagen. mosphere was heavy, making It diffi cult to see just what had taken place. The first file, according to the plan of battle, having fired and fallen back, giving place to the next, another volley rang out, and then another. When the smoke lifted the British were seen staggering backward with great num bers of them heaped together on the ground, writhing in blood and death. Their line, however, was In less than an hour reformed; and back they came, led this time by General Packenham, in front, superbly mounted, and utterly fearless. General Jackson was himself charmed by the utter abandon of the British commander. A single long range shot from a target rifle In the harids of a colored man behind a two wheeled car. or "dray," rang out. and General Packenham pitched out of the saddle. This second advance in its ending was precisely like the first, the Ameri cans from the opening to the close of the engagement firing six volleys. When all was over and the British had withdrawn from the conflict, they left on the field 2200 of their number, among whom were both their com manding Generals, killed. seven Colonels., with 75 line and staff officers. The Americans lost six men killed and seven wounded. Duke Did Not Believe, When the news of the battle reached England. the Duke of Wellington turned up his nose and said, "Another Yankee lie," but it wasn't. This battle- unfortunately was fought after peace had been agreed upon by America and England, but the British forced the engagement, while the Americans, equally ignorant of the ar rangements for peace, had to take care of themselves. . During the campaign that ended with this battle. General Jackson had sus pended in that region the writ of habeas corpus," for which the Federal Judge at New Orleans made some se vere criticisms;, whereupon General Jackson arrested him and sent him out of the district. This brought a bold protest from the New Orleans Picayune, who called "Andrew Jackson a military usurper." The editor was promptly arrested and sent to keep company with the ob streperous judge. At the proper time General Jackson restored the writ that had been sus pended. Then the judge whose honor was out of repair, bailed the famous military commander before him, fining him $1000, which the General promptly paid. This, however, was not tha last of It. For more than 30 years the United States Congress debated the matter of reimbursing the yf tne, which carried wiin n grave questions con cerning military interference with the civil power in a republican zorm or government. Dooflu Got Fine Returned. Finally, by the adoption of a bill Introduced In the Senate by Stephen A. Douglas, and ably argued by him nearly one whole day, it was by an over whelming majority decided that Gen eral Jackson did the proper thing. The fine was therefore returned to the Jackson estate, with interest for 30 years. It is worthy of note in this connection that when President Lincoln, through the proper military authorities in Ohio, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, by which C. L. Vallandighanv was excused from citizenship In the Buckeye State. where he was obstructing enlistments of Union soldiers and other question able conduct, a convention of Ohio Democrats attacked Mr. Lincoln's right to do what he had done In the case of one of their number. In eply Mr. Lincoln meekly pointed to the case of General Jackson, a good Democrat, at New Orleans. This was followed by such a stillness that the grass could be heard growing In front yards of the 1 Democracy. . C. I-'.. Mahon, of Vancouver. B. C.

SCOPE OF WORK IS BROAD Aside From Technical Provision Plan Is Proposed of Construct' Ing Main Trunks by State - and Laterals by Counties. Approaching the completion of their work on the proposed new highway code for Oregon, the Oregon good roads committee held a general session at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and went over some of the details of the proposed bill, which is to be com pleted and ready to be Introduced in the Legislature within the next two weeks.

Lord Buckmaster, formerly Lord High Chancellor, speak ing at Keighley today, said all peace proposals ought to be published at th earliest possible moment.

Friendship Existing Between Em ploye of F. P. Walsh and Expo nent of Anarchism Displayed by Paper Seized in Kaid. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 6. (Special.) District Attorney Flckert today made Pudiic a letter, one or the many seized last week in the office of "The Blast.' which shows, according to the public prosecutor, the friendly relations ex isting between George P. West, an i vestigator for the Industrial Relations Commission at Washington, and Alex ander Berkman. friend of Emma Gold man and exponent of anarchistic prop- aganaa. The letter, bristling with local color and touching upon the work of the law and order committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, will be used in .the trial of Thomas Mooney, accused of participation in the bomb outrage dur ing the preparedness parade of last July. We.t Employed by Walik, Kickert further declared he knew of his own knowledge that West wrote the letter to Berkman while In San Francisco several months ago. Fickert explained that West was a Government official at Washington under Frank P. Walsh, who Is head of the Indus trial Relations Commission. The letter follows: "December 14. 1916. "Dear Mr. Berkman: I returned to Washington yesterday and have begun my report on the bomb cases and the open-shop fight. I had a peculiar ex perience in San Francisco, for the rea son that a number of men in whom. In the old days. I had great confi dence and In some Instances for whom I had (I still have) great affec tion, were opposed to the defendants and poured Into my ears a lot of stuff Intended to prove that the defendants were not only guilty, but were such utterly brainless and vicious men that foe the sake of the cause they stood for they should be disposed of. I got underneath that feeling, however, and left with the conviction that a very peculiar situation had come within a hair's breadth of permitting a monu mental injustice. Cue Said to Be Labor Case. 'Also I discovered the folly and fal sity of any and all claims that these are not labor cases. On the eve of my leaving I obtained an advance type written copy of a book which the C. of C. is to bind In astonishingly hand some and expensive fashion and dis tribute broadcast over the country. It will appear about the flrit week in January, entitled "Law and Order in San Francisco. The bomb explosion Is listed among a long list of labor's mis deeds, and there are to be produced facsimiles of the newspapers for the following morning, with lurid accounts and very horrible half-tones of the vic tims. In fact, the explosion is smeared all over the organized labor movement f San Francisco for the Nations edi fication. I explained to Bob Minor how I got this advance copy and what restrictions I am under In Its use. I can abide by these restrictions and still get out the facts about this book, but I know just how far I can go without violating a friend's confidence, and Minor under- tands this and will await my report before making use at It- An Incidental advantage is that by the time my re port appears the book, or that portion of It, cannot be withdrawn by the press, and that must be considered for the sake of the accused men, who cer tainly are entitled to this demonstra tion that their cases are labor cases, let labor politicians deny it till they are black in the face. Report Prepared In Advanee. "I shall have my report In Mr. Bar ton's hands for multlgraphing by Mon day morning. My judgment now Is that It should be released about two days after Christmas, when news Is scarce and people are turning hack to "I am coming to New York next Wednesday and will call you ud and arrange to meet you. Also I shall mail you a copy of my report Saturday night special delivery or on Sunday, depending on when I complete it.
