Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa

brought up the rear of the procession.
It was long after 'the noon hour
when tho last of the veterans had
marched by the White House. The
ontiro route was decorated lavishly,
every building, public and private,
being adorned with the stars and
stripes, bunting of red, white and
bluo, and the insignia of the G. A. It.,
and the various army corps, until the
oyo of tho spectator was sated with
the varied display. It is estimated
that 500,000 persons witnessed the
pageant. The morning trains brought
hundreds of visitors from all points
within a radius of a hundred miles
of Washington and seldom has the
capital entertained a larger crowd-
The parade was the feature of the
day. Everything else gave way to

Favor San Francisco:
Washington, Oct. 8. Developments
this morning make it seem almost
certain that San Francisco will be
chosen as the next meeting place of
the national encampment of the
Grand Army. The Callfornians open
ed wines nt their headquarters today
and commenced an active campaign.
General Shatter is one of the most
enthusiastic advocates of the Cali
fornia city. It Is understood that the
principal objection to San Francis
co was the high railway rates, but
this has been overcome by exception
ally low fares being promised. At
lantic City is San Francisco's clos
est competitor.

tempt .will he made to run the cars
this afternoon.
The state militia will undoubtedly
be called out, ns the police qan not
possibly handle tho situation, and
citizens continue to refuse to servf
as extra police.
The attempt to run cars again this
afternoon is looked upon as a serious
undertaking, and morn bloodshed is
feared. The strikers are determined

Most Important Discovery of Late
Years of the World, In tho Coal
Line, Says the Expert Rushing
Work.
"You can't say anything too good
about tho Morrow county coal fields,"
said Mining Export Thomas L. Bro
phy to tho Hast Oregonlau tills morn
ing. Mr. Brophy and E. O. First.
Mr. Brophy passed through Pendle
ton today en routo to his homo in
Spoknno, after Bpondlng a fortnight
vlowlng tho work now In progress nt
tho mines. Ho was the first mining
expert to lie called into the coal fields
and gavo tho Bast Oregonlan tho first
nows of tho vnluahlo new dlscovory.
All tho statements mado In Mr. Bro-
phy's first report rolntlvo to tho valtio
and extent ot tho coal find havo boon
vorlfled by later investigations nnd
tho-opinions of other exports.
Greatest Discovery of Modern Times.
In regard to tho development and
progress of tho work, and tho actual
value of tho coal deposits, as shown
during his recent trip over tho Hold
Mr. Brophy said:
"Tho coal flold ot Morrow county Is
the groutest discovery of the kind
that luiH been made of lato years in
tho world. Willow Creek and Ditch
Creek basins, many miles In extent,
nro rich with coal, and most of It li
easy of access. Coal Is now being
breasted from tho mines nnd as soon
as transportation Is iiosslblo, ship
ment to Hoppnor will begin. The
opening up of transportation nnd get
ting tho coal on tho market mcaas
much to Morrow and Umatilla coun
ties, and, In fact, to the wholo uf
J2astern Oregon,
Hurrying the Work.
"Tho company owning tho lan.1

Only One More Mile of Road.
"Wlllard Horron, In chnrgo of tho
road building, has ouo more mllo of
wagon road to build boforo caay
travel to the mines will bo possible.
Tho road follows tho easy water
grndo of Willow Crook from Hopp
nor to tho mines and whon complet
ed will mnko possible tho transpor
tation of the products of the mines.
Without a good road tho coal cannot
ho markoled, and practical develop
ment Is somowhat delayed,
"I'rofeHsor Goorgo Wolls, whoso
opinion means much to cortaln lines
of progress in dovnlopmont, is still
on tho ground, and In all probability
will confirm tho reports of former ox
ports."
Pendleton's Opportunities,
Regarding tho benefit that will ac
crue to Pendleton with tho opdnlnrf
of tho coal field, and tho trade that
may bo expected to como this way,
Mr. Brophy said;
"There Is no reason why tho city
of Pendleton may not control a lurg
share of the Increased business that
will follow tho opening of this Indus
try in a closely adjoining roglon.
Pondleton has superior facilities In
transportation, both by rail and wag
on roads leading through the inter
ior, Her huuluoHH activity is woll
known, and the Increased populutlon
which will follow tho advancement
of coal mining, will recognize In Pen
dleton a natural shinning nolnt for
supplies to bo' scut Into the coal dis
tricts,"
