M. Kel logg of Sumner post of the Grand Army of the Republic. Among thos who spoke 'n favor of it were C. G. Burton, D. U McKay and J. D. .Stevens of the Grand Army or me Republic; W. E. Eddy. Spanish War Veterans; W. H. Butler, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and G. R. Kinports, Sons of Veterans. The races have been scheduled for the Rose City course. The committee also voted to ask the next legislature to pass a bill for bidding desecration of Memorial day by the holding of sporting events. The text of the resolution adopted follows: OborrTsnre Called Test The observance or non-observance, the respect or disrespect of our Memorial day. is m. very fair test of the character, patriotism and morality of an American citisen. Memorial day. the most solemnly sacred day of the year, was at first instituted for the purpose of honoring the memory and service of those brave men who had made the supreme sacrifice for their coun try in the areat civil war; who had ren dered the last full measure of devotion in giving their lives for the salvation of the nation and later on this service included the survivors of that conflict who have fallen by the way, as the years have gone by. and also the honored dead of our later wars. citizens of the nation stop to pay tribute to the m mory of the honored defenders of the flag In this country or in foreign lBnd. and with uncovered heads and solemn thoughts again pledge allegiance to that dear old flaa- that has cost so much and stands for so much the world over. We sorely regret to note that tht-re are many people In our midst who only look upon Memorial day as a day for sports and amusements of all characters. A (tit ode la Deplored. It is a deplorable fact that many who claim to be morally upright and patriotic citiiens will persist in so desecrating this day that their example and influence large ly tends to the undoing of the good work and teaching that the proper observance of Memorial day has wrought upon the minds of the rising generation and the foreigners who have come to us. There is an association, or club, styling itself the Daddies' or Fathers' club, which is now preparing to commercialize our Me morial day this year and is now display-J ing posters advertising races and circus stunts.

New Company to Be Formed. According to word received here, a plan or reorganization haa been worked out by the underwriters of the preferred stock Issue which was sold to investors throughout the Pa cific coast more than a year ago.

White never was sent to Salem, be ing confined in the Multnomah county jail since sentenced, pending an ap peal to the supreme court from his conviction In the arrest of White shortly before the Shrine convention last year the authorities were confi dent that they had prevented a shrewd and pretentious plan for vic timizing visiting Shriners and local merchants.

Bartlett." forged Shrine credentials and cards and a forged letter of introduction purporting to bear the signature of Edward W. Cookingham of the Ladd & Tilton bank. None of the paraphernalia had been put in use when White was arrested for passing a forged check on the Brownsville Woolen Mills store.

Local committees and co-operating agencies throughout the country, in cluding the near east relief organiza tion in Portland and Oregon, will hold their forces intact for the continua tion of relief work in response- to cabled information from China that 2.000,000 persons ' will be dependent upon American aid until fall harvest, due to failure of the June crops. The cable, from Charles R. Crane, chairman of the American committee in Peking, stated that the June crop in the province of Chihli, covering one-fifth of the entire famine area, is a total failure because of persistent drought. This failure, according to the cabled information, leaves the 2.000.000 inhabitants of this province, hitherto supported by American aid. still dependent on that aid until tne fall harvest in August. Much of what has alreaay Deen aone for the stricken peoples will go for nothing, according to word .received here, if the 2,000.000 starving who had been depending on the June crop for self-support were now allowed to go unaided.

Members of the public service com mission said that the project would cost several hundred thousands of dollars and would be one of the most important engineering developments undertaken in Oregon for a number of years. Four crews of men will be put to work on the tunnel and it is pro posed to complete the project this summer. Because of the dangerous nature of the rock formation of the 150-foot perpendicular bluff which rises above the Elk rock trestle, slides have been frequent in past years, and many complaints have been filed with the public service commission. The trestle is 1050 feet In length, and It was estimated today that the tunnel would exceed 1200 feet. H. M. GLEASON IS KILLED Brakeman Thought to Have Fallen From Train Accidentally. VANCOUVER.
