Injured in Seattle, Hoe Shipped to St. Faul Hospital 'by.
Great Northern Claim Agent and Cut Off From
4 Children for Four Years.
After having been mourned tot dead
for four years; : Ole Moe has arrived
here from St.- PsuL Minnesota, on a
search for his children, two sons and
a daughter, who are believed ' to be
living In this city. Mo was supposed
to have lost his lift In en accident. In
stead he lost , his eyesight and fell Into
the hands of strangers far from hona,
who, he Infers, did everything to" pro
vent him from communicating with fats
children. - ' ' i
The story of Moo's misfortunes and
his strange disappearance seems " al
most beyond belief, but those to whom
he has appealed for assistance have
investigated . and found that, he' tells
the truth. i ., -t
Four , years- ago he was engaged as
laborer on the Great Northern tunnel
building into Seattle.- His children,
the sons at that time aged 14 and 12
years respectively, and -the daughter,
eged about 16, were earning their ltv-
Ing In Tacoma their mother having
iied some years before. - Moe was one
of the miafortunatea - caught in the
terrible cave-in of a section of the tun
nel and Instead of being conveyed to
one of the Seattle , or Spokane . hog-
fitals-he was shipped to St. Paul for
realm en t, upon instructions from the
railroad company agent wno appeared
on the scene shortly after the men had
been dug out from their terrible prison
oeneain ions oi win, c .--.,)
Beve Says to Hospital. ' .
With one eye torn from dts socket
and the other bruised and swollen, Moe
suffered all the torments imaginable
during the seven days it took him ro
reach the railroad hospital at St Paul,
but somehow he finally regained his
health and strength. His eyesight was
gone, however, the loss of the one eye
having effected the other so that' sow
he ran see only vague shadows la the
brightest of light. -'-- t
Day went after day and year after
year,, but not a line from his children
came to cheer tip the helpless man who
did the beet he could to earn a living
REASONS FOR
OF THE
Baker City, Or., May To the Ed
itor of The Journal it la to the Inter
est of the people of Oregon to support
the -armory , appropriation bill at " the
June election. This measure claims the
attention of the people of the state, for
Its adoption .would be In accord with
the progressiva spirit which has ; char
acterised Oregon's development; and,
furthermore, good effects would redound
to the benefit of the taxpayers, who are
the most deeply interested in ths mat
ter. The question la not ons of tem
porary expediency, but It has to do
with the wise' provision for the future,
and it is on this issue that its true sig
nificance hinges. - ' -v.
Opponents of this bill bold that- the
National Guard exists at the instance
of corporations. This is not true, al
though the National Guard has often
been called out in the interest of law
and order. The National Guard stands
next to the regular army and its pur
pose is to serve as a nucleus aronnd
which the ; government may form Its
volunteer organisations In time of war.
They also say that there is no assur
ance that the expenditures will stop
at $100,000. But that is all that is pro
vided for in the bill. It Is also claimed
that $100,000 is not enough to buy land
and provide buildings. But it Is the
intention of the military board that
every city which receives an armory
shall furnish its own site, so that $100,
000 will build" all the armories that are
needed lor the National Guard of the
state. It is claimed that other towns
might organise companies for the pur
pose of getting an armory. - The slse
of the Oregon National Guard Is limited
by law. (See volume 2, section 8184,
page 108S, Bellinger and Cotton's Anno
; tatted '.Code.) ...asyf-t

RICKED Bill m
In the community upon which he had
been dumped by the railroad company.
He finally secured enougfa financial
assistance to take him to Tacoma to
begin the search for his children. There
he learned that after having waited
patiently for news concerning his fate
after the accident in the tunnel, the
children had reached the conclusion
that their father had been one among
the unidentified dead, and that his re
mains had been out away in an tin-
marked grave. Growing older, they
separated and struck out . for new
fields .one i report stating that ' -the
daughter and one of the boys cams - to
tnts city. The boy is supposed to ce
woraing on one or the river steamer.
Urged on by this faint ray of hope,
Moe obtained sssistance from sympa
thising Norwegians many of whom had
known him from the time he first ar
rived on Puget sound from Norway, 23
years ago, and this week be cams hera

" Yesterday he related his case to Nor
wegian Vice-Consul JEndr M. ' Cedor
bergh, and requested that the mystery
of his chlldrens whereabouts be solved.
Consul Cederbergh hopes, that anyone
with information to Impart In the mat
ter will do so without delay.
Moe Is 47 years of age. He is
anxious to make a living for himself
and has managed to ao so so rar, dui
has had to apply for help to pay his
traveling expenses In prosecuting the
search lor his children, - v ?
.. While at Tacoma his case was taken
up by a prominent attorney there with
the intention of bringing suit for dam
ages against me ureal wortnern. in
this connection. Moe says the claim
asent's motive In, shiDDins him to Ht.

poor unfortunates .who were maimed in

be difficult and too expensive for them
to get together and summon witnesses
to prosecute the cases with success.
PASSAGE
ARMORY BILL
rent would revert to the state, so that
after a few years the state would be re
lieved from paying rent and would also
own the armories. Again, during the
period in which the state has been ac
quiring its armories i Its property has
increased in value so that, the Invest
ment would - be most profitable. With
but one or two exceptions, none ef the
armories which the state now has rent
ed furnish adequate protection to -state
and government property.: and the lose
every year In this respect is in Itself
no smaii item.- under the Dick bill the
government provides the National Guard
with- equipment and the stutn ran An
no less than furnish protection for this
ana us. own property. ,
This bill should be supported for
moral reasons also. In the smaller
towns there is lack of amusement for
the young men and in lieu of anything
better, they generally go to the cigar
stores, saloons or hang about on street
corners. Nothing can better supply this
otucwoci mn a wen equipped armory.
Forces for good have begun to assert
themselves more actively than ever, and
it is Just as important ... to - establish
S laces of clean amusement aft it is to
estroy obnoxious places. Every armory
oould have a gymnasium, baths and
reading-room. These surroundings,
coupled with the benefits which come
from serving In a military organization,
are factors in building up manhood.
8uch institutions would be the most
effective means of securing a higher
tone of morality in every community
where the amusement problem exists,
and a higher standard of cltlsenahlp.
Increase Guards' Efficiency.

other reason for sustslnlng this bill is
that better armories will Increase the
efficiency . of the national guard by
offering better inducements to young
men to enlist, and providing better
means for their instruction.? All . ex
