place of which he was the founder
was named Eugene in his honor
by his devoted wife and my ex
cellent mother." For one year
they were practically alone with
their dear little daughter Mary
Elizabeth Skinner. They had no
especial trouble with the 38 In
dians, there at the time, except
Chief Tom. With eight of his
friends, Chief Tom came three
times to their little cabin on the
west slope of Skinner's Butte and
made efforts to intimidate them.
"Several similar attempts followed
and then Chief Tom asked for a
smoking pipe of peace and the
Skinner family were not disturb

In 1848 the trek toward the Ore
gon country was well on the way.
Lane county, which stretches from
the ocean to the summit of the
Cascades, had then a population
of one hundred fifty people.
Enough settlers were In this vicin
ity in 1851 to encourage Mr. An
keny to start a store which was
managed by James Huddleston, in
a lean-to near the west end of the
Skinner cabin. Later it was moved
near the Ferry street bridge.
The paper is also authority for
the announcement of the arrival,
in 1847, of Charnel Mulligan and
Wickliff Gbuley, both single men.
Not long after his arrival Mulli
gan married Martha Spores,
daughter of James Spores, pioneer
of 1847. Three sons and two
daughters were born to them.
The first house built within the
corporate limits of Eugene was
erected by Charnel Mulligan on
what is now east Tenth avenue
not far from the present Grey
hound station. Skinner and Mul
ligan each donted forty acres Of

present courthouse and county

George Colasuonno's Springfield
American Legion team evened the
county championship series Sat
urday night by defeating Eugene,
8 to S.
schel Taylor, and Glenn Lewis.
The task of providing room ac
commodations for the delegates
and visitors is in the hands of
Harvey L. Hilton as chairman of
the housing committee. Mr. Hil
ton reports that practically all
hotel accommodations have been
taken, and more than half of the
auto courts and hotels have been
reserved. At the rate requests for
housing reservations are pouring
in, it is anticipated that by the
end of this week only accommo
dations left will be In private
homes.
Mr. Hilton's committee Is mak
ing a special plea to Eugeneans
with extra rooms to list them
with the group. Blanks for this
purpose can be secured either at
Mr. Hilton's office, 820 Willam
ette street, or at the Oregon Trail

Speeches interest
Topping the speaking attractions
at the convention will be the ad
dress by National Commander
Warner at the opening joint ses
sion on Monday rooming of the
convention. The sessions of the
Legion will be in the Elks temple,
offered by Eugene lodge, NO. 357,
B. P. O. E. when the armory be
came unavailable due to its oc
cupation by the army.
All sessions are open to the
public and it may be necessary
to transfer the joint meeting to
one of the local theaters in order
to take cart of the crowds wish
ing to hear Mr. Warner.
The address by Major General
Curry on Tuesday morning and
the one by Lieutenant Colonel
Stromm on Wednesday morning
are of special interest in Eugene
because of the local airport pos
sibilities. The Eight and Forty, from the
auxiliary, will hold its Pouvoir,
Sunday, and the Forty and Eight,
men's fun organization, will hold
its annual Promenade on Monday,
followed by the parade Monday
evening, and the annual "Wreck."
Many Corps Enetered
On Tuesday evening at 7:30
will be the convention parade,
which will march from Sixth and
Willamette and through to the
the Civic stadium where the drum
corps contests will be held im
mediately following the parade.
This is a most colorful exhibition
and attracts large crowds at every
convention. The modern trend is
toward Junior drum and bugle
corps in line with the Legion's
child welfare work, The present
state champion is the Albany
Junior corps, which is out to re
peat. It is composed of eight girls
and 32 boys of junior high school
age or less. The Oregon City cbfps
is composed of 22 girls and 29
boys. Klamath Falls will send its
Senior Men corps and the Junior
corps. There are crack organi
zations. The Ashland Kiltie band
is another attraction which has no
counterpart in the state, being a
bagpipe layout. Other corps which
will probably be here are the
Clatskanle Junior corps which
placed fifth at the American
Legion National cc-nvention in
Los Angeles in 1938, the Baker
Junior corps which won second
place last year at Seaside, the
Medford corps, the Roseburg Sen
ior corps, and Bend, Astoria and
Lebanon corps. The Portland Post
No. 1 Senior corps will also be
here. This corps has attended
many national conventions ana
always places high. The drum
corps contest is chairmaned by
L. W. Manerud.
Auxiliary at Church
The auxiliary convention will
be held in the Methodist church.
Their program calls for numerous
dinners and teas, and the high
light of their program will be
their midnight matinee or "stunt
show" at the Rex theater at 11:00
p. m. Monday, July 21. The theme
of the show will be "The Days
of 49."
Chairman J. P. Schimberg, of
the registration committee, reports
that almost all posts have sent
in their registrations for their
delegates. The number of author
ized delegates for the legion is
approximately 350, and almost
as many for the auxiliary. The
expected crowd from out of Lane
county is over 1,000 to be housed,
while many Legion and auxiliary

The acceleration, he said, should
make good recent estimates that
defense costs this fiscal year will
be $15,500,000,000.
Reviewing the last fiscal year
(which ended June 30), Smith
said $6,274,000,000 was spent for
defense. The spending rate was
$807,000,000 in June.
"I' have just spent three and a
half weeks visiting defense
plants," the budget head said,
"and I got the definite impression
that we are going to have a pretty

France May Seek
Armistice in Syria
ANKARA, Turkey, July 5 (U.B
British diplomatic circles here
believed tonight that France might
seek an armistice in Syria with
United States diplomatic officials
acting as mediators
Belief that an armistice might
be imminent was strengthened by
authoritative neutral reports that
the discipline of French troops was
breaking down.
These reports said Sengalese and
Amense troops at Beirut were
completely out of hand, refusing
to obey orders and rioting and
plundering. Foraging soldiers, it
was said, had clashed with the
police at Beirut
French sources here, however,
insisted that resistance would con
tinue in Syria "to the last man."
British quarters based their
optimism concerning the possl
bility of an armistice on recent
rapid advances of Anglo-Free
French forces.

beautifully decorated "card of

In the last Issue of The Atlantic
Is a short story "Onions," which
the Russian-bom Eugenean wrote,
asking that the cnecK pe given io

generosity as was Pearl Buck,

Back of this lies a story, ac
cording to friends of the Riasa
novsky. Driven but of Man
churia by the Japanese occupa
tion, the Rlassnovskys lived sev
eral years in Tientsin. Then the
Japanese occupied that city also.
Recently Mrs. Rlassnovsky asked
hm vnimfMt son if he remem
bered any of the incidents of their
days in Tientsin.
The lt-yer-oia sat aown ana
made a swift pencil sketch, it
shows a Japanese soioier wun
gun slung across his shoulders in
the act of kicking a Chinese coolie
who is flat in the street. Such in
cidents were common sights in
the streets of occupied cities, the
Rissanovskys ssy. The fact that
e child should have only such
memories of China moved Mrs.
Riasanovsky to offer her latest
story to help the cause of China
Relief.
Readings from Mrs. Riasanov

of life among tne emigrees in
Chinese cities will be featured at
