Td better slip out ox here before someone hands me an assignment." That was "Jimmy" Montague's com ment in The Oregonlan local room yes terday. Fifteen years ago, when Edgar E. Piper was city editor, he was taking assignments and snatching time for his first venture Into feature writing, a column called "Note and Comment." The "Jimmy" of other days is now James J. Montague, writer of verse end current comment for the New Tork American and other Hearst publica tions, whose signature is of frequence In the magazines, and who Is held to be one of the foremost political writers of the country. He has an expert's knowledge of National politics, and Presidential conventions are open se crets to him. Boy Mast De Oregonlan. Just at present Mr. Montague, with Sirs. Montague and the children, is the Ruest of his brother, Richard W. Montague, prominent Portland attor ney. He asserts that James the second, youngest of the Montagues, really brought about the visit. "I want that boy to be an Oregonlan," laughed Mr. Montague, "so I brought him home at the season of the year when he will become acquainted with real Oregon weather." James J. Montague began his news paper career on The Oregonlan in 1896. He held a variety of posts, from "cub" to assistant city editor, wrote verse that attracted attention by Its clever ness and poetical quality, and was finally lured to New York. Homer Davenport, he says, prompted the pil grimage to Gotham. For some years he wrote verse and column features exclusively, held down several executive jobs a little later, developed a facility for political writ ing and began getting the important assignments. He "broke into" politics by covering the Saratoga convention, when Roosevelt, heady with his Afri can adventures, raid-ed the G. O. P. and severed relations. This period, in the opinion of Mr. Montague, marked the beginning of the Colonel's retro gression as a political factor. Work In New York Rotable. In New York politics he handled the Story of the epic fight against Murphy, leader of Tammany, when the latter attempted to elevate Boss Sheehan to the Senate. The noted Barnes-Roosevelt trial, at Albany, when the Colonel was sued for $50,000 on libel charges, was another story that "Jimmy" Mon tague was assigned to. In 1912 Mr. Montague covered all the National conventions. He wrote the autobiography of Buffalo Bill, which ran in Hearst's Magazine under the signature of the famous scout and Indian fighter. Mr. Montague brings word of various Portland people who are now residents of New York. Among them is Wex Jones, formerly a reporter on The Ore Ionian, who is now in charge of the Evening Journal's staff of comic artists, writes feature stuff of his own, and is an enthralled breeder of blooded bull terriers. Harry Murphy Adda to Laurel. Jules E. Goodman, who comes from Eastern Oregon, is now one of New York's most successful playwrights, and has scored several theatricai knockouts. In Chicago, on the Ex aminer, is Harry Murphy, once a car toonist on The Oregonlan staff. "Harry Murphy is one of the big car toonists of America," said Mr. Mon tague. "His work is frequently re produced in the magazines, and he is generally regarded as a 'comer.1 " Just before his departure from New York Mr. Montague visited Camp Mills and looked up his old-time acquaint ances among the Oregon troops, among them Major George A. White and Ma jor Charles E. McDonelL "The boys are in fine condition," en thused Mr. Montague. "They had a football game on while 1 was at the camp. In every way the Oregon troops are happy and contented. I never saw a finer, sturdier, healthier lot of men. They lack for nothing in equipment, the camp is well sanitated, and the food excellent. Every man in the reg iment i3 eagerly looking forward to service in France." Mr. Montague's visit is in the nature of relaxation from the strenuous work of the recent New York Mayoralty campaign, and will continue for sev eral weeks. In fact, he asserts that only the necessity of holding hia Job could draw him back to the East. "I am an Oregonlan," affirmed "Jimmy" Montague, looking out at the rapidly falling mist. "I like it."

Christopher Columbus Gall was born in Washington, Franklin County, Mis souri, March 18, 1833, and had lived to celebrate his 84th anniversary. He was the last surviving member of the family of Jacob and Roxanna Hurt Gall, his parents, who crossed the plains with ox teams in 1851, accom panied by their three sons and one daughter. One son died while crossing the Sweetwater and was buried there. The other members of the family passed away a number of years ago. "Western Trip Eventful. That eventful trip across the great plains, peopled with nomadic Indians and roamed by great herds of buffalo. was always fresh in Judge Gall's mem ory, xne crossing was arduous and the party suffered many hardships and privations. In a Bkirmlsh with In dians, which surrounded the camp, the war party was beaten off and a num ber of the Indians wounded. The father. Jacob Gall, after spend ing the Winter at Salem, moved to Jackson County, and settled on what is now known as Galls Creek, a tribu tary of the Rogue River.

During his residence .In Sams Valley he was elected Justice of the Peace, and held that office from 1868 to 1909. when he resigned. He -was known throughout Southern Oregon as Judge Gall, and had performed more mar riage ceremonies than any other Jus tice in the southern counties. It was Judge Gall's pleasant boast that he had married many settlers in the early days, and had tied the wedding knot for their sons and daughters long years afterward. Men now high in the legal profes sion pleaded their first cases before Judge Gall, as he sat as Justice of the Peace in the little country hamlet of Sams Valley. Among 'Portland attor neys who practiced in his court in the early days of their careers are United States District Attorney Reames, Deputy District Attorney Hammersley, W. A-Carter and Edward Watson. Large Family Survives. On October 9. 1861. Mr. Gall was mar ried to Sarah Jane Pankey. daughter of James A. and Fannie Strickland Pank ey, at Jacksonville.
