3
PORTLAND VETERANS
It Could Be Secured by Earnest and
United Effort by All
! ' Interested.
Will Portland mpve to secure the a. A.
R. encampment) for 1903, Is a question bc
Ing agitated to G. A. R. circles, and which
Will.; have to receive prompt attention
from business interest if they are to se
- care such a result, or seriously untertake
the proposition. The . matter was urged
last evening by Past Department J. C.
Cooper, of McMlnnvIlle, who thinks that
tht prosepct of securing the encampment
by action of the approaching; encampment
" ' at Washington is very good If considered
. at once. Commander Cooper pointed out
, that beside Portland's natural strength
for such a movement, the cltisens co
v operating;, and the time being; especially
propitious for asking Portland' to have It,
as the swing could bring It again to
. the coast, this department could reinforce
such a move by Portland with strong
kelp in the encampment, on account of
' the large membership the Washington en
campment will have from the Oregon de
, partment.
? UNDER p. A. K. RULES,
fell past department commanders, as well
as past assistant adjutant generals, are
: members -offlcia of national encamp
ments, and thus would add the votes of
these members to those of the regular
delegates.' This would give the pregori
department, as Past Commander Cooper
figures it out, at least 42 such additional
voting strength, besides the regular dele
. gates, provided all should be able to at-
. tend. In this situation the move would
doubtless be to make sure of the attend
ance to this large delegation, which with
a. strong committee of citizens would
'. probably be able to secure the prise. It
will be Unquestioned that the encamp
ment If it can be secured, will bring
thousands of people to Portland, and
bring In September, will he at the most
advantageous period for our Inspection.

V STRONG WORKING FORCE
In, the encampment itself, If the veterans
; should decide to go after the coveted
prize, but, Inquiry among the Portland
commanders by The Journal proved to be
rather discouraging upon the proposition.
'Without exception the honor to the city
and the Oregon department wan conced
ed, and that if It could be accomplished
It would be glory enough for the depart
ment to last the rest of its existence;
. but . clam, dispassionate consideration
: brought out these cold, raw facts, the gist
. of which was stated by Past Department
. Commander Caukln.
Tn tie first place," said Comrade Cau-
' kin. ''Oregon Is pledged to California, but
tf my Information is correct, San Fran
cisco ha found the proposition -of fring
ing the encampment there so large to
handle, and Involving so much expense,
that there Is now division of sentiment as
i to whether to go after the plum or not.
It Portland was in shape to- go for it
there is no doubt, but that San Francisco
would assist. But can we think of it, in
our circumstances, of small membership

would cos sums with five figures to meet
the expenses, beyond the reach of the

WHERE'S THE

Has Been Missing Since June 7--Captain
Nolen Also Gone,
Where is the sloop Eliza and where is
her master, R. Nolen? This Is the ques
tlon which has been robbing the local
custom house official of sleep for the
post few weeks, ,
.tin June 7 a person calling himself R.
Nolen appeared at the custom house and
requeBtel an official number for his sloop
Fllza, .which be said was built and was
then lying at the foot of Raleigh street.
On June 23 notice of the official number
being, accorded. Nolen, a letter was sent
to htm, care of the sloop Eliza at the foot
of Raleigh street. This letter was re
turned as ' neither Nolen nor his sloop
could be found. As Nolen mentioned his
'ffetention of going to Astoria, the custom
Souse peyaisted and sent the letter to
Asteria lrt' cafe of the collector of cus
toms there. This was also returned as
Noten'dtd not show up there.
Now the question remains, where Is
Nolen and where is his sloop Eliza. It Is
a 5-ton vessel and may be enguged in
Illegitimate coast trade, for it Is not
documented in 'the custom house and
therefore can bring in no cargoes.

Mr. Nebergall staled the result of hts

as the Pennsylvania Working Home for

However, no alarm: should be felt over
the proposition fqr State, aid, as all that
Is asked Is for enougn support to sev iu

It Is estimated that there are

Oregon, and the state has no charg

the present educational system for blind

many kinds of light end plain ma

the idea is that they can more than take

successfully employed every where tried,

The effort to ecure this object by In

ask the state to take hold of It. The
amount required for the effort Is smffll,
and is not to be asked as more than an

A Nebraskan and Southern California
were dlscuslng Oregon land value at one
of the hotels the other evening, and were
agreed on one proposition, since they
were yout here to buy, tojwlt, that prices
were , too high. Nebraska said that
while he could sen his home land for $60
or more per acre, he could raise more
wheat and more corn, than Oregonian
could turn out In erain to save them.
Los Angela thought the average of Ore
gon grain crop was smaller than It ba"d
been claimed, and as to fruit and other
stuff he 'declared he could discount Ore
gon. A Willamette Valley man standing
by Interjected a question or two, and
surprised the others by figure of hay,
clover, timothy and especially alfalfa,
with a few new figures on '.dairying.
Still another Oregonian took a hand, and
Inauired What resources there were In
the others' states, in marketable timber.
He brought out the millions of fir, cedar,
pine, and the wealth represented In them.
and then others took a hand.

such yields. Irrigation furnished free.
