Palmer, general staff. who was . General Pershing's first chief of operations in France. Colonel Palmer was of the three general staff officers who drew up plans for the first American ex peditionary force. General Morrison, then major, in 1906 introduced at Fort Leavenworth the infantry and cavalry school. Col onel Palmer told the senatorial com mittee. This school-was the first in the United States army to provide real traininpc for candidates for the general staff, he said. "This was a revolution in our school system, and very few of our officers recognized it. Officers, graduated after two years' of work, if they showed capacity to solve tac tical problems, were recommended for general staff duty or division com mands in event of war. Under this Morrison plan we had a system very much, as far as practical efficiency goes, the same as the one Von Moltke started." Colonel Palmer said. The fact was developed that many of the army officers selected for gen eral staff duty and high commands during the war were products of the school system started by General Morrison. Speaking of the necessity for a suf ficient number of highly trained gen eral staff officers. Colonel Palmer described a visit in August, 1917, to the French front north of Verdun. He went with General Pershing, as the guest of General Petain. It was j;st at the time the French made the at tack through which they recovered Morthomme, on the morning of Au gUHt 20. "On the evening of the 19th," he Bald. "I was present with the chief of staff of the French second army who was receiving reports from the chiefs of staff of the different corps as to the progress of demolition and the progress of artillery work, and giving final instructions and modifi cations necessary for the attack, which was to begin at daybreak. "When I looked at the elaborate ness of the system, at the business methods required, and the number of highly trained and specialized men necessary to make it work, it was al most appalling to me to conceive how we could ever do the same thing promptly with the limited trained per sonnel we had," said Colonel Palmer in conclusion. During the war General Morrison organized and commanded the eighth division at Camp Fremont. Cal.. and later the 13th division at Camp Lewis, Wash., the latter command being on the verge of starting for France when the armistice was signed. TRAINS WILL BE ON TIME AVasJiouts and Other Troubles Are Overcome by Railroads. Reports received yesterday at the general offices of the Oregon-Washington lines was that the numerous small troubles due to floodwaters re leased by the combination of a Chi nook wind and rain, had been over come and that trains due in Portland today may be expected to arrive prac tically on time. Trains due yesterday were delayed by the necessity of be ing detoured via Walla Walla, or held up pending the restoration of track where eeveral small washouts oc curred between The Dalles and Pen dleton. Fortunately none of the wash outs was extensive. One of the worst delays was occa sioned by a stretch of highway grade being carried down on the track by floodwaters and deposited to a depth of two to five feet while a train was standing on that particular piece of track. The digging out of the train stalled in a deposit of wet sand, kept a large number of men busy several hours and effectually blocked the road. There will be no reserved seats in the main body of the building, and those first to arrive will have the choice of places. Adequate police protection and a force of ushers has been pro vided, and as soon as seats are filled the doors will be closed until the meeting is over. Manager White an nounced that General Pershing will not be seen by the public as he leaves the building, and that there is no use for people unable to get Into the building to await his exit on that account. Mayor to Preside. Mayor Baker will preside at the auditorium meeting and Major W. S. Gilbert of Astoria, beloved chaplain of the old Third Oregon infantry, who served overseas, will introduce Gen eral Pershing. A fine musical pro gramme has been arranged, and Wil liam Robinson Boone will be at the great organ. The Red Cross canteen band will play some selections and Walter Jenkins will lead mass sing ing. Prior to his address little Miss Jean Abercromble, daughter of Captain Charles H. Abercromble, who gave his life for his country in the Ar gonne drive, will present General Per shing with a magnificent bouquet of Columbias. just declared the champion rose of the world. Following the auditorium meeting General Pershing and his staff will be escorted to the union station and will leave for Seattle at 11 o'clock.

Contrary to earlier expecta tions of the trappers, this is going to be a banner year in the production of furs, according to reports that are now coming in from many sources. There are more men trapping than for a number of years. This stimulation or the trapping Dusiness is aue cnieiiy to the high prices offered for furs, but also, to a large extent, to the un expected success on virtually all of the regular trap lines. From the Yukon hills tnrougn to the coast the rich hauls of the old regulars have spurred the interest of men who usually loaf during tne win ter months, and as a result hundreds of new trap lines have been estab lished that will add an immense ag gregate to the normal output of Alaska furs, particularly of fox. lynx and wolverines. Muskrats also are being taken in unusual numbers in some sections, and reports from the Yukon region tell of many marten nd fishers being caught. Weasels are more plentiful than in ordinary years, and the additional number or trappers who axe seeking them will add largely to the usual output. A singular circumstance reported is that while weasels are much more plentiful, they seem to be smaller than usual. No satisfactory reason is assigned for the general diminution in size. A well-informed fur buyer is au thority for the opinion that the Alaska fur output for the season will run at least a half million dollars more than in any recent year. ALASKA'S DEPOSITS GAIN Three National and 15 Territorial Banks Now Established. SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. 17. (Spe cial.) Alaska has 15 territorial banks and three national banks with present aggregate deposits of $B,04!t.543.73, as compared with $5,974,728.82 at the corresponding date last year. The gain shown, although small, is both surprising and gratifying to business people, who have supposed that the lmmertse exodus of population from the territory during the past few months and the general business de pression would cause a decided shrinkage in bank deposits. The capital of the Alaska banks ag gregates $745,000 as against $850,000 last year, and the aggregate surplus and undivided profits $322,575, as compared with $249,914.36 this time last year..

At his first trial Spanell was ac quitted of the charge of murdering his wife. Three months later he was con victed of killing Colonel Butler. The oourt of appeals held, however, that the trial court erred in failing to submit to the jury the plea of for mer jeopardy. The jury's verdict sustained the de fendant's plea that his acquittal .in January, 1917, of the charge of mur dering his wife was In effect an ac quittal of a like charge in connection with Colonel Ttuller's death. The jury did ntj, therefore, specifically pass irpon Spunell's guilt or innocence In connection with the slaying of Butler. MINERS' EXIT HASTY ONE Americans in .Mexico Hurry to Coast and Then Return.
