that any attempt made to drop a live

"That live turkey cannot be dropped,"
said the Agent.
"We can't see why it cannot be let
loose," said one member. "I know that
a live turkey will sail along in a dead
straight line In whatever direction it' Is
pointed and bv compass any one fol

There is absolutely, no danger of the

OREGON
PIONEERS
MEET AT ASHLAND
They Recall Days When
Jacksonville Was Ore
gon's Metropolis.
(Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal.)
Ashland, Or., Aug. 80. The pioneers
and their families touched elbows in
Ashland yesterday. The occasion was
. the thirty-first annual reunion of the
Society of Pioneers of Southern Oregon.
Formal exercises were held at the Chau
tauqua tabernacle and later the visitors
enjoyed a splendid banquet in Memorial
hall. Visitors were In attendance from
' many points in the Rogue River valley,
r ' amoag them C. C. Bee kman, the veteran
. banker of Jacksonville and the oldest
banker in Oregon, and William Bybee.
., at one time the greatest landholder in
Jackson county. Some of them came
into town by train, while others sped
in in automobiles. Still others drove
in In their comfortable carriages drawn
bv their best horses, and all made com
parison of these Improved methods of
transportation wun tne siow ox teams
whclh served them In their Journey
across the plains 60 or 60 years ago.
Death Is gradually thinning out the
membership of this society, and tMg
year It is observed that an unusTTa?
number have dropped out of the ranks.
The pioneers of southern Oregon are
the real pioneers of the state, since the
settlement of Jacksonville, which grew
into a great mining camp in 1852, was
the largest and wealthiest town in Ore-
f;on when Portland was a small village
n the forests on the banks of tne
Willamette.
The principal feature of the exercises
at the tabernacle was an Interesting
address to the pioneers by C. B. Watson
of this city. Tha Ladles' Clef quartet.
composed or Mrs. r . Simpson, Misses
Bertha and Dolly Rose and Miss Irma
Patrick, gave some charming selections.
potntment followed a conference held in
San Francisco a few days ago between
Mr. Thatcher and tha head officials of
the telephone company.
It is announced that Mr. Thatcher's
successor will be J. W. Oilkyson who
has occupied the Important post of as
sistant to the general superintendent.
The change In management takes effect
September 1, and Mr. Oilkyson is ex
pected to arrive In Portland soon after
mat date, ana to taice cnarge immedi
ately. The Oregon division has grown too
large to permit of Its being handled ex
clusively by one man. and this Is given
out as the reason for the change. There
art now almost 40.000 subscribers' sta
t.onk in this division. In hts Capacity
oi general agent, Mr. 'hatcher will have
charge in a general way of the affairs
of the company in the territory and will
be able to turn over to Mr. Gilkyson at
tention to detail. The new arrange
ment will permit inspection of the oper
ating of the exchanges and is expected
to result in a general Improvement of
the service.
IRRIGATION FAVORED
IN TILLS DECISION
(gpeclal Dlapatcb to ID Jooraal.)
Olympla, Wash., Aug. 30. In reply
to an inquiry on the subject from State
Highway Commissioner J. M, Snow, the
attorney-general holds that "in the con
struction of state roads "if it is neces
sary to conduct the waters of a private
irrigation ditch across said state roads
in permanent conduits o metal or con
crete, such conduits must be constructed
at the expense of the state, the expense
to be charged to the Joint state and
county highway fund."
The attorney-general says that from
an examination of the statutes It ap
pears that the only duty imposed upon
a private owner of an Irrigation ditch
is to place a "good, substantial bridge
not less than 16 feet In breadth," over
his ditch on any highway, and that this
could not be construed to include metal
or concrete conduits.
In tha, presence of Mrs. J. C Nus-
baum.and two or three assistants Cor
oner Flnley this ' morning opened the
coffin containing the body found on tha
beach at Seavlew, and identified it to
tha satisfaction of those who made tha
examination as that of Mr. Nusbaum.
When tha body arrived in Portland
this morning from Ilwaco it was taken
directly to Lone Fir cemetery and the
coroner and Mrs. Nusbaum were driven
out to tha burial ground. As had been
expected, the body was so Daajy de
composed that it was impossible for the
wMnw tn make out tha features, but the
coroner had with him the diagram of
the teeth of Dr. James M. Smith, who
was drowned at the same place as was
Nusbaum, and whose body has not been
recovered.
A careful comparison of tha teeth of
the dead man and or tne aiagram was
made and Coroner Flnley says there Is
no doubt but that the body is that of
Nusbaum.
The two front teeth were missing but
that, it is believed, is due to the action
of the salt water on the body? In the
description of Dr. Smith's teeth fur
nished by Dr. D. H. Miller the second
bicuspid was said to be gold filled while
the" corresponding tooth In the recovered
bodr is perfectly sound. Instead of
having the fifth tooth crowned on the
upper left side the third tooth on that
side Is gold. The second and third teeth
on the lower left side are missing and
Mr. Nusbaum is said to have had a
bridge In that part of his mouthr
"There can be no doubt but that the
body Is that of Nusbaum," said the
coroner. "His widow was able to
identify it by the general shape of the
limbs and feet as well as by the cer
tain proof of the teeth."
Both Dr. Smith and Nusbaum were
drowned at Iong Beach In July, within
a few days' of one another. They were
carried out by the force of the under
tow and it was Impossible to recover
the body of either until the one which
reached Portland was washed ashore
near Peavlew.
Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Nusbaum
learned of the finding of a body at Sea
vlew through The Journal and It was
through the publication of an accurate
description of Dr. Smith's teeth that the
Identification of this morning was made
possible.

Washington, Aug. SO. Changes In
uniform for the enlisted men of the

practical for every-day service purposes,
are receiving attention at the war de
partment Just now. Various recommen
dations have been received on the sub
lect. one of which has come from Col
onel L. M. Maus. whose observations are
based on his experience with the mi
litia In the field. He believes that the
present regulation felt hat is un
sulted for campaign purposes in a hot

fantry marching trousers should be
made full around the knee, and the cuff
extended down the leg far enough to be
enclosed by the top of the marching
shoe, thus doing away with the legging.

JAPS TAKE ISLAND
NEAR PHILIPPINES
At a meeting of the Portland teleg
raphers' local today the question of de
claring void contracts with such brokers
as have not signed the union scale will
be taken up and It is probable that the
only house in Portland at present not
paying the union wages may be de
prived of Its operator in consequence.
In most places -.throughout the west
the brokers have signed the scale and
are working their wires unmolested. In
Portland Downing, Hopkins & Co. have
not signed the scale but -the union has
up to the present time taken no action
as but very little business has been
done over the wire since the strike was
called. The agitation has started in
many places, however, to call out the
brokers' sperators, as in the strict sense
of the word they are as much commer
cial telegraphers as are employes of
either of the telegraph companies.
An interesting account of the fate of
a strikebreaker was received this morn
ing from Kansas City. An operator at
Shelbina was induced to come to work
in Kansas City by the promise of bonus
and double pay made by the Postal com
pany. He worked five days and then
had to give up, awing to the strain.
When he cam to get his paycheck he
found that the bonus and extra pay had
been cut out, he had been charged 60
cents a night for room and 60 cents
each for meals served him and bis rail
road ticket to Shelbina had been pur
chased for him, leaving a balance of
$3.80 to show for his five days' work.
Reports from the various storm cen
ters were all unusually encouraging this
morning. In Omaha there has been but
one desertion since the strike, Los An
geles has had but one, Nashville two
and Spokane none. In Los Angeles the
Associated Press Is handling 2,600 words
dally instead of 36,000, at Vancouver.
B. C., the C. P. R. has been able to
handle but . 10 messages an hour and
Montreal reports that It cannot man the

President Small has notified the Van
couver union to continue handling Inter
change business with the United States

are concerned.

crumbs so as to resemble plaster and
It was only by close examination that
the true character of the peculiar look
ing ridges in the wall were discovered.
Lents' cell is the last one on tbe
left hand side of the corridor at the
northwest corner of the building.
Heavy steel bars on two sides and dou
ble wooden partitions on the others con
stitute the cell.
Brick Wall Interferes.
The west wall, which Is made of two
layers of inch boards abutts the out
side brick fire wall of the building, be
tween 12 and 18 Inches in thickness.
If Lents -had succeeded In cutting
through the wooden partition he would
have been confronted by over a foot of
solid brick and mortar.
The burglar was unaware of this, but
even In the event that he had tools
sufficiently strong to bore a hole
through the brick, a sheer drop of two
stories to the roof of the patrol wagon
stable would have been next in store
for the thief.
Lents was removed from the citv
prison a week ago yesterday to the
county Jail after having been bound
over to the grand Jury by Judge Cam
eron In the sum of $1,600. When
searched by one of Sheriff Stevens' dep
uties a spoon sharpened to a razor
like edge was found In his possession.
It was with this Implement that Lents
managed to cut away the board in his
cell.
Lents was arrested on August 20 at
First and Washington streets with a
box of silverware stolen from the Levy
home in his possession. ITe was on his
way to a pawnbroker's shop to dispose
of some of the plunder.
The maiorltv of the articles found In
Lents' possession were Identified by B.
H. Levy as his property, and a charge
of larceny from a dwelling was placed
against the crook. He waived a prelim
inary examination In the police court.
and was bound Over to the grand Jury
by Judge Cameron.
it was subsequently discovered mat a
silver thimble holder taken from the
home of M. Baruh, SOS Lovejoy street,
was among the plunder In the box car
ried by Lents at fche time of his arrest.
This definitely connected him with the
Baruh robbery, although he stoutly
maintained his innocence.

Last Saturday afternoon, however.
Attorney Moon representing Lents
brought the ermine set and sealskins
stolen from Baruh to the District At
