Guard, comprising about 20 men. will
be Included among the National Guard
troops taken into the Federal oervlce
to this effect were received
last night by Adjutant-General White
from the Western Department, at San
Francisco. The orders directed also
that the men of the Quartermaster
Corps be sent at once to report to the
Quartermaster at the new Army con
tonment at Palo Alto.
They probably will leave Portland
for that point tomorrow or Tuesday.
All National Guard troops from the
Northwest are to concentrate et Palo
Alto within the next few weeks to form
part of the new Forty-first Army Dl-x-ision.
but the Quartermaster Corps
will be the first to arrive there.
PlcVed 9Ien In Corps.
The following men, comprising the
enlisted personnel of the Quartermas
ter Corps, Oregon National Guard, are
affected by yesterday's order:
Sergeants, f irst-clajss Vincent "W.
Hammond, Chester E. Boone. Joseph C.
Miller, John W. Pentney and Paul Van
"VV'yck.
Sergeants Robert H. Atkinson, Alex
B. Bowen, "William Thomas Conlon,
Fred B. Dunbar, Jess J. Qualles and
Edwin, H. Stewart.
Privates, first-class Herbert B. Han
sen, James C. Keeler, John F. McGov
ern. Marvin S. Power and Martin J.
Bhea.
Privates Frank Hobbs. Joseph I
Horn, and Frank D. Hunt, Jr.
This corps is composed of picked
men. Virtually every one of them Is a
specialist in his line, selected because
of his particular qualifications for cer
tain work. For Instance, Sergeant
Chester E. Boone, first class, a great-great-grandson
of the famous Ken
tucky scout and pioneer. Daniel Boone,
is an expert chauffeur and former rac
ing driver, whose experience 13 almost
certain to cause him to be selected to
drive a general officer's military car.
Expert Work Accomplished.
If he is not selected for that service
he will become a truckmaster in charge
of an Army fleet of 27 trucks.
Most of the other men In the corps
similarly are experts in some other
line of work.
From 10 to 14 of these men have
been on service constantly In the office
of the Adjutant-General for weeks,
some of them since shortly after the
entrance of the United States Into the
war. They formed part of the expert
staff of assistants with whom Adjutant-General
White performed the
highly important duties of his office In
connection with the mobilization of
troops and the handling of the war
census and the draft that has made
-"Oregon first" a Nationally known
phrase.
At times they have been on duty
night and day to keep abreast of the
volume of work handled through the
Adjutant-General's office.
Commissioned officers of the staff
corps and departments of the National
Guard, Including officers in the quar
termaster corps and reserve officers of
the guard, have not yet been called out
by the Federal Government. A call for
them is expected at any time, however.
When they are called all National
Guard officers and men In the state
will have been taken into the Federal
service.
AGITATORS TO BE OUSTED
Miners Union Would Purge Organl-
tion of I. W. XV. Elements.
FORT SMITH. Ark., Aug 4.. Drastic
measures to oust Industrial Workers of
the World and Working Class Union
agitators from the United Mine Work
ers, and thereby put an end to the
strike evil in the local district, No. 21,
have been decided upon by John P.
White, international president of the
United Miners, according to John Wilk
inson, president of the local division.
Local strikes have delayed coal pro
duction seriously in some sections of
the district in recent months, and they
are charged directly to Industrial
Workers of the World and Working
Class Union agitators, according to
President Wilkinson.

PLANS MADE FOR TAKING OVER
SOUTH SANTIAM WAGON ROAD
Speakers at Lebanon Banquet in Favor of Helping Forestry Department
to Develop Easy Pass Over Cascades, Which Early Backers Abandoned.
BT ADDISON BENNETT.
LEBANON, Aug. 4. A banquet was
served last night at the Hotel
Lebanon, at which about 75 guests
were served by Landlord Wilson with a
feed which any city hostelry might be
proud of. I might, however, say last
night and this morning, for the flood
of oratory that followed the feasting
waxed, roared, surged and flowed, rose
and fell until past mlnnight.
Let me' go back and say that the
prime moves of and for. this meeting
was laid by somof the prominent and
progressive citizens of Lebanon, as
sisted by Milton A. Miller, our
suave collector of customs, stationed In
Portland but always a citizen of
Lebanon, where ' for many years he
talked politics, held office, and now and
then practiced law, about as succetss-
fully as the average run of Democratic
lawyers. Anyhow, Milt won the fattest
office at thed Isposal of President Wil
son In Oregon, has held It nearly four
years, and is good for four more. For
which we all say, well done, and amen,
seeing that no Republican has a
look-in.
Milt foregathered among his friends
In Portland and brought down with
him the following Portland delegation:
Shirley Buck, of the Forestry Service;
W. F. Woodward, A King Wilson, W.
H. Crawford, E. E. Larlmore. Dr. E. T.
Hedlund, M. G. Nease, Mrs. Nease, L. J.
Henry, and a representative of the
Oregonian.
Albany Sends Delegation.
Senator Ed Cusick, of Albany, collab
orated, and brought over in autos the
following citizens: Dr. W. H. Dayis,
George Taylor, P. M. Stewart, George
H. Crowell, E. M. Reagan, of the Her
ald; George E. Sanders, Forestry Su
perintendent Hall, J. A. Howard, Alfred
C. Smith, W. V. Merrill, Waldo Ander
son, Fletcher Linn, Bert Veal. D.- O.
Woodworth, and W. A Eastburn.
Among the half hundred or so Leb
anon people present were the following:
C. Cornier, N. M. Newport, A. M. Reeves,
B. L. Cotton, Art Blackburn, E. L. Clark.
H. G. Everett, S. P. Bach, R. L. Gilson,
Fred Kerr, Dr. Amos, D. A. Reeves,
Hugh Kirkpatrick, S. C. Stewart, W. C.

per. Dr. J. G. Gill, Mayor J. L. Under
wood, Bert Millsap, Byron Mlllsap, M.
N. Simons, George Buhl, and R. W.
Green.
Brownsville sent the following
guests: R. W. Tripp, Charles Sterling,
L. A. Brown, and S. A. Norton.
The cause of the fracas, so to
speak, was, and Is, and will continue to
be, the Improvement and betterment
and permanent maintenance of the
South Santiam road across the Cascade
Mountains, that old, old wagon road
built by the owners of the great wagon
road grant, some 60-odd years ago. It
was over this road that our "sojer
boys" marched In the '70s to fight the
Indians it was over the same road that
most of the early settlers In Eastern
Oregon went from the Willamette Val
ley.
The Wagon Road Company agreed
to build this road from the Willamette
Valley to the Snake River for the mere
pittance of every alternate section of
land for three miles on each side of
PROF. O'HARA EDITOR
Catholic Sentinel Has New

OREGON POST RESIGNED
P. E. Sullivan Announces Change Will

John P. O'Hara, instructor in history
at the University of Oregon for the
past several year's, who has been con
ducting a course of lectures in history
courses for the extension department
of the University at Portland this Sum
mer. Is to enter the field of journalism
as editor of the Catholic Sentinel, the
official organ of the Catholic Church in
Portland.
His acceptance of the editorship of
the Sentinel was announced yesterday
by P. E. Sullivan, publisher and mana
ger of the publication.
Professor O'Hara has had a wide
field of experience and comes to his
new work with special training. After
completing the high school course at
Lansborough, Minn., he attended St.
Thomas College, at St. Paul, and later
continued his studies at Notre Dame.
There he was one of the editors of the
college paper and held first rank on
the varsity debating teams.
Old Work Resumed.
On graduating from Notre Dame he
became instructor in history and eco
nomics at the newly opened Columbia
University, of Portland. After teach
ing here for some years, he went to
Europe to take advanced work in the
study of history at the University of
the Sorbonne, in Paris.
Mr. O'Hara was connected with the
editorial department of the Catholic
Sentinel formerly, from 1903, when he
assumed direction of the paper in co
operation with Mr. Sullivan, until 1913.
In the latter year he. resigned to ac
cept an instructorship in the depart
ment of history at the University of
Oregon.
I uunns me iuur ycara no iia-a ueea
on the university factulty he has com
pleted a history text-DooK. on the
United States, which is now In the
hands of the publishers.
History Lectures Success.
Professor O'Hara conducted two
courses of lectures in the University
of Oregon extension course in Port
land this Summer. One course, given
at the University Club, dealt with the
history of the United States since the
Civil War. The other course was on
the causes leading up to the European
war. These courses, which were well
attended and most successful, were con
cluded this week.
Professor O'Hara Is a. brother of
Rev. Father E. V. O'Hara, who unti
recently was cnairman or tne inaus
trial Welfare Commission of Oregon.
The Catholic Sentinel Is one of the
oldest newspapers in the Northwest.
Professor O'Hara will take up his new
duties as its editor at once.
PENMANSHIP PRIZES DUE
Geography and Mathematics Also to
Be Made Important Features.
ALBANY. Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)
Exhibits portraying excellence In pen-
said road agreed to build It and main
tain it and collect toll from those who
traveled over it, at least those who
crossed the Cascades over It.
Road la Abandoned.
But the old road across the moun
tains was only kept up In a slipshod,
haphazard manner. It ran down at the
heel, sagged over at the sides, and in
many places the bottom dropped out,
until the owners actually got ashamed
to take toll. Then they abandoned the
toll gates and left the road to shift for
itself.
The Lebanon people, the Linn County
people, and all of the people" who lAiow
aught of the roads and trails and paths
across the Cascades, say this South
Santiam road is In more particulars
than one the best pass over the moun
tains. In the first place, it is at a
lower altitude than the Barlow or Mc
Kenzie roads, and, consequently, Its
grades are less; and being lower. It la
passable earlier in the Spring and later
in the Fall.
For Instance: Only a few days ago
it was reported In The Oregonian that
the McKenzie road would not be pass
able (owing to snow) before the middle
of this month. Yet the South Santiam
road has been open since July 1.
Boiled down to brass tacks, the pres
ent agitation is for the purpose of get
ting the Wagon Road Company to let
loose of the road legally, as they have
already done morally and literally, and
have the Forestry Service take It over
and put It In good condition, as the
most of It, that is, the most of that
portion over the mountains. Is in the
forest reserve.
Assistance Is Expected.
Assistance, it is pointed out, could
and would be given the forestry people
by Linn County, by the people of Leb
anon, and perhaps by the state.
It was shown last night by letters
from the Forestry Department that this
would be the most useful road to them.
and It was pointed out by several of
the speakers that It could be put In
good condition much more cheaply than
the McKenzie road. As for the Barlow
road, that is far away, and will have
Its uses as well as this, which might
be called the Lebanon-Sisters road.
Coming back to the banquet last
night, let me say we had some mighty
good speeches, and, as a rule, all to the
point and filled with solid chunks of
wisdom and lofty flights of oratory.
Here is a list of the speakers, in the
order they were introduced by Toast
master Mayor Underwood, of Lebanon:
Shirley Buck, State Senator Ed Cusick,
W. H. Crawford, E. E. Larrimore, Mil
ton A. Miller, Postmaster Stewart, of
Albany, A. King Wilson, Dr. E. T. Hed
lund and a sort of benediction by The
Oregonian representative.
At 4 o'clock this morning a portion of
the Portland and Albany party, escort
ed by some of the Lebanon people, left
for Fish Lake, 62 miles up the road,
where they will spend the night and
return here tomorrow evening. Anoth
er and larger party went to Cascadia,
32 miles up, where they will be enter
tained until tomorrow morning, getting
back here In time for the Portlanders
to catch the evening train. .The Cas
cadia party went all the way by autos.
The Fish Lake party made the last 30
miles by four-horse stages.

HOPE BASED ON U. S. FLAG
Baron Moncheur Declares Kaiser Is
Stricken With Terror.
BOSTON. Aug. 4 Speaking at a
meeting on Boston Common today
Baron Moncheur, head of the Belgian
mission, said in part:
"We have no easy task before us,
but now that the United States has en
tered the war, we know that victory is
assured. Your flag has never known
defeat and never shall. The sight of
'Old Glory' on the battlefields of Eu
rope has given renewed courage to our
troops, and has stricken the Kaiser
with terror, for now he knows that his
days are numbered.
"On. this third anniversary of the
war the Kaiser's dream of world con
quest is shattered. Your entry into
the conflict has forever dispelled that
vision. His only thought now is how
to escape from the judgment to come
But we know that America will not
turn back nor leave half finished the
great task which she has set before
her.

FIGHT FOR 35-FOOT
CHANNEL NOT OVER
Senator McNary to Try to In
duce Secretary of War to
Recommend Survey.
SHIP INDUSTRY TO BE CITED
Need for Early Action Will Be Im
pressed on Cabinet Member as
Soon as Rivers and Harbors
Bill Becomes Effective.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington! Aug. 4. Senator McNary was
successful in securing the adoption of
his amendment to th river and harbor
bill authorizing a survey of the Colum
bia and Willamette rivers, below Port
land, with a view to developing a con
tinuous 35-foot channel, but his fight Is
not yet ended. Incorporated in the
river and harbor bill is a general pro
viso that "no survey provided in this
bill shall be made until after the close
of the war with Germany, except such
as the Secretary of War shall direct.
The bill carries authorizations for
50 or more surveys, most of them for
small and unimportant waterways, and
none as important as the survey au
thorized by the McNary amendment.
The Senator, therefore, when the bill
becomes a law, will bring this matter
to the attention of Secretary Baker,
and urge that authority be given the
engineers at Portland to make the Co
lumbia River survey in time to get it
before Congress next session.
Authorizations of surveys do not
commit the Government to a new proj'
ect, but are designed for two purposes
First, to ascertain the cost of proposed
improvements, and secondly, to ascer
tain the opinion of the Army Engineers
as to whether a stipulated project is
worthy of construction by the Federal
Government. An adverse report from
the Engineers practically seals the
doom of a new project, whereas a fa'
vorable report gives that project a
status that justifies Congress in mak
ing the necessary appropriations.
Cost Will Be Considerable.
The cost of deepening the channel
from Portland to the sea Is going to
be considerable, and the survey will
determine the approximate cost. But
Senator McNary believes the improve
ment is one that should be made and
made as soon as possible.
The development of shipbuilding on
the Columbia, with assurance that it
will survive the war period; the pros
pect of heavy commerce to Portland
after the restoration of normal trade
conditions; the upbuilding of the
coast-to-coast trade which is almost
certain to follow the close of the war,
when the United States expects to
have more ships at its command than
ever before, are all reason's, in Senator
McNary's mind, for giving Portland
channel adequate to accommodate the
argest ships that may desire to enter
that port.
As the rush will come after the close
of the war, and in view of the further
fact that it will take probably two
years to develop a 35-foot channel.
Senator McNary argues that it is well
to get this work under way as soon
as possible. In order that Portland may
be fully prepared when the demand
comes. He thinks It is far more ad
visable to get this project now than
to wait until the demand actually
arises, and then start a campaign for
deeper channel.
Many Advantages Offered.
Once Portland has a 35-foot channel,
with ample depth at the mouth of the
river. Senator McNary believes ther
will no longer exist any ground for
preference for other ports On the Pa
cific Coast.
The fact that Portland has a fresh
water harbor; that it is reached by a
water grade from the great Inland
Empire, and is the only tidewater port
that can be reached by rail without
crossing the mountains except, of
course, Astoria and the fact that Ore
gon and Washington products will be
in great demand In foreign markets.
especially In Europe, after peace is
restored, all appeal to Senator McNary

HOOD RIVER, Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
A dense smoky haze has been rolled
up -by the strong west wind that has
blown here for the past several days,
and today the surrounding landscape
is entirely blotted out. The volume of
smoke rolling In around the base of
Mount Hood late yesterday afternoon
was so strong as to alarm local people,
who feared that a fire had started In
the National forest to the southwest of
the city, but no burns of any kind are
reported, and the smoke must be com
ing from fires on the lower river.
The haze is so dense today that both
Mount Hood and Mount Adams are en

xne past week has been a mighty
busy one for the Supply Company. It
has been necessary, because of the" in
crease of the number of troops who
uuva nrrivea in camp, to haul many
tons of supplies from the depot to the
supply station at camp. While details
were doing this, still other details were
busy. They even went Into the business
of house moving. Because the water
tower was In the way and took room

tail jacked the building un. placed roll
ers underneath it and by man power
began moving the tower to the extreme
end or the camp. By the time the de
tail had the tower at the head of Troop
A street, recall was sounded. Last
night the tower marred the view of
Troop A and quite naturally Captain
aogan was mentally nisturbed.
Battery A started things off in earn

the 32 mounts, which Battery A brought
from the Mexican border, harnessed
and taken on a road march. The
horses seemed to know what was ex
pected of them, for in spite of the fact
that only a few have been handled
since they were brought to camp, they
took up the road interval of march
without showing any disposition to cu
any capers.
One thing is sure. When Troop A
begins mounted worK, there are several
of the mounts that will give accounts
of themselves. Two of them can be
mentioned Lieutenant Bradshaw's big

START IS JOYOUS CLAMOR
Professional Cooks Included to Pam
per Anticipated Appetites During
Two Weeks of Strenuous Life
on. Mountain Slopes.
No flock of brant headed, for the
tundra country ever raised more joyous
clamor than did .the Mazamas last
night at the Union Depot, when 56 of
the mountaineers entrained for the
snows of Mount Jefferson, pride of the
Cascade range In Central Oregon.
By unanimous assent the choice of
the Mazamas for their two weeks" an
nual outing fell this year to Mount
Jefferson, second tallest peak of the
Cascades in Oregon. 80 miles south
east of Portland. The peak rises 10,-
523 feet above sea level, and the moun
taineer who has clambered to its pin
nacle may Justly feather his hat after
the fashion of the Alpine experts.
Care-Free Crowd Joyous.
At the station the care-free crowd
of young men and women, with i
sprinkling of hardy elders, carried won
derment in their wake as they trouped
to their special coaches. Heads were
thrust amazedly. from train windows,
hurrying travelers stopped to gaze, and
cries of "gangway!" alone prevailed
for the passage of baggage trucks.
They were a motly aggregation of
healthy American specimens, clad in
khaki, high, hob-nailed boots and
slouch hats, and bearing packs, alpine
stocks, cameras, fishing rods and other
paraphernalia of the wild.
The trip will be made by the South
ern Pacific to Albany, and thence east
ward via the Corvallis & Eastern to
Detroit. Early this morning the Ma
zamas will start on the hike from De
troit to Pamelia Lake, the mountain
gem that lies at the foot of Mount Jef
ferson. There they will make camp
8 miles deep in the original forest and
500 feet above sea level.
Motion Pictures Will Be Made.
Lake Pamelia is to the southwest of
the peak, and is rife with the splendid
ghting trout that only mountain water
breeds. Both the flora and fauna o
the district are singular and of excep
tional interest to laymen and sure
enough naturalists.
With the party are State Biologls
William L. Finley and Mrs. Finley.
Accompanied by II. T. Bohlman, Mr,
Finley will take several reels of mo-
ion pictures of the scenery and wild
fe of the district. A survey will be
made of birds and animals for the co
operative state and Federal reports.
which are now being compiled on Ore
gon natural resorts.
The Mazama headquarters will be
known as Camp Hardesty. Profes
sional cooks accompany the mountain
eers to minister to the genuine appe
tites that are certain to arise. The
official guide of the party is Francis
Benefiel.
Dangerous Climb on List.
The last 500 feet of the ascent of
Mount Jefferson Is the crux of the
struggle, for there the climbers will
be confronted with an almost perpen
dicular pinnacle, requiring full expend
iture of hardihood and endurance if it
s successfuflly scaled. The party will
be roped together at this crisis of the
ascent.
Many other excursions will be taken
from Camp Hardesty, notably those to
Marion Lake. Grizzly Flat, Three-Fingered
Jack and Jefferson Park.
Numbers of Mazamas who did not
leave last night plan to go this week.
The party will return two weeks from
today.
OREGON BOYS AID ROOT

Russian Port of Landing of American
MisHlon Filed High With Autos
W hich Cannot Be Shipped.
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)
Pharmacist Mate Stanley and Fireman
Bettis, of the crew of an American
warship, which took an important part
In world affairs when It safely land
ed Elihu Root at a Pacific port this
morning, were having fun tonight
riding a merry-go-'round at a street
carnival with girl companions whom
they had known while attending school
in Eugene and Coburg before they
answered their country's call.
"I can't tell you much," said Stan
ley. "It is against the rules of the Navy
to talk about the ship."
The Root party was taken to Vladi
vostok and was met there by the Amer
ican warship for the return trip, after
the vessel had made a voyage to a Jap
anese port to coal.
"There is a great deal of shipping
tied up in the Russian port," Stanley
stated. "They say it is due to a short
age of railroad material. I saw be
tween 400 and BOO motor cars In crates
piled up in the street. A Russian sol
dier who had been in the States and
could speak English told me he had
passed them every day for months.
Some of the crates had been caved in
and the cars apparently wu-e rotting
for want of shelter. They had been
consigned to Petrograd."
Few people in Vladivostok speak
English and the American boys had
some difficulty in making themselves
understood in the restaurants, Stanley
said. Fortunately "beefsteak" and
"coffee" are pronounced the same in
Russian as in English, although spelled
differently, he added. The price was
cheaper than in the United States.
Stanley is a son of Mr. and Mrs. F.
A. Stanley, formerly of Eugene, but
now of Hilt, Cal. Bettis' parents re
side at Coburg.
DESERTERS WANT TO FIGHT
Marines Stow Away on Transport to
Get to France.
PHILADELPHIA. July 25. Instead
of being deserters from the Philadel
phia Navy-yard, five youthful members
of the United States Marine Corps are
with the local contingent with General
Pershing's forces In France. This fact
became officially known at the marine
barracks when the names of the five
were removed from the list of de
serters.
The quintet consists of Harry Ryan
and Richard Neucom, of Brooklyn, N.
Y. : Charles Dunnof, Defiance, Okla.
Harry Marks, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and William Haven, of Chicago Junc
tion. O.
Refused permission to go with the
marine contingent from the headquar
ters at the Philadelphia Navy-yard, the
men burrowed their way into a coal
bunker on the transport. Beyond the
Delaware breakwater they were dis
covered.
Taken up on the quarterdeck they
were questioned. They all declared
that they preferred action in France to
nactlon at a Navy-yard. The fact that
they had failed to pass the examina
tion to qualify for the -xpedttionary
force Impelled them to stow away.
They were reprimanded, but were per
mitted to achieve their desire.
