Once mors the drum roll, beating the asaembly as in war day a, the crisp "Full In!" and 88 veterans stepped through the streets today again on their way to the battlefield. A battlefield of to year ago this time, with a peaceful reunion at the end of the Journey to commemorate the anniversary of Gettysburg. And this time soldiers of north and south marched together to the front. Klve Confederates who fought at Gettysburg were among the 88 who marched to the depot to board their train lils afternoon. The tall figure of W. H. Llndnay, clad In Confederate grav, was conspicuous among them.. On the top of his head there Is still a deep furrow where a Union bullet ploughed a trench after he had passed the fatal stone wall In Pickett's charge and stlked four union guns. He carried Hi gun spikes with him, and those four he put to use berore be was snoi oon. His father and a brother found him there after the chaye and got him back within their own lines. But he left two other brothers, one of them a twin, and .four cousins on the field that day. Was la Pickett's Charge. Another Confederate was Colonel B. J. Hawthorne, of Eugene, formerly a professor at the University, of Oregon. He. too. was In Pickett's iharge. And I.ee's Army of Northern Virginia was further represented by Xf. H. Beathe, of the Thirty-first Virginia. K. S. Houghton, of the Twenty-sixth North Carolina, and T. R. Davis, also of the famous Thirty-first Virginia, who went to the depot, though he cannot make the trip. Among the Union fighters of the Army of the Potomac who repelled the southern attack in the three day battle was L. B. Kent of battery A. Second United States artillery, who fired the Mrst gun at Gettysburg, two days beforo the main fight began. That gun of Tldball's battery is now on the"Gettys liurg field In the same position as when Kent pulled the lanyard. . C. K. Hausdorf, who began as a pri vate in the First Minnesota and fought up to be Us lieutenant colonel, was an other. He also is an honorary member of a Confederate Veterans' camp. And there were many, many others. Say One of Excltoment. When the sperial train left the Union depot at 2 o'clock In charge of Captain James P. Shaw, special commissioner, who was three times wounded in the Civil war, it brought the first part of ft busy and exciting day tor the veterans to a close. In the morning It was more remin Uceiae at .headquarters In the court houe. and the mautr of final a'rrang"- tnenls. Then shortly after noon, all were lined "lip' oh the Plaza block before the Second Oregoiv monument to have-their pictures taken. First the Gnttysburg men were snapped, and then all the Civil war survivors present. By-ltren. It was almost time for the -parade to the depot to begin, and -the formation for the march was started, There were automobiles for those who desired them, but all but a few vet erans who were disabled by wounds Insisted on making- the march afoot. Policemen lj for Veterans. The police band led them, playing national airs. Thorp was a detHchment of Oregon National Guardsmen thert by specliil order of Adjutant General W. K.

T.he Sunday Journal The last regular session of the old city council today, 'marking as it did the official farewell to th old forms of municipal government that will give way nextTtiesday to Commission rule, was Itself marked by one of the most un usual scenes that has ever been noted at the city hall. This whs the appearance of probably 200 women, representing many differ ent creeds and conditions, but all be ing unanimous in protesting against the location of a saloon on the east ap proach of the Broadway bridge. More remarkable still, perhaps, was the fact that the remonstrance of the women carried sufficient weight to de feat t lie establishment of a saloon or. the bridge approach. The council voted against the saloon, 9 to S. The trans fer of a liquor license, under such cir cumstances, has never before met with such opposition and it is doubtful if, i.i all tli history of Portland anything approaihi-ng the action of the council today has before been recorded.
