EIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 20, 1S08. PAGE THREE. T COMMENCES TODAY II QUEBEC Quebec, July 20. Every boat and train Into Quebec today brought lm mense additions to the vast throng al ready congregated here to witness the stupendous pageant with which the city will this week commemorate Its tercentenary. Not In Its long hlHtory of 300 years hus the ancient town on the St. Lawrence entertained as great a crowd. All Is In readiness for the biggest historical exhibition of mod ern times and with the official recep tlon tomorrow to the French, English and American battleships and the dis tinguished guests, the week's fentivl ties will be fairly Inaugurated. The Prince of Wales, now speeding across the Atlantic on tin; famous mystery slilp, the British cruiser Indomitable, will arrive Wednesduy afternoon and his reception will bespeak the regard In which all Canadians hold their fu ture king. Vice-President Fairbanks will be among the distinguished met. who will greet the prince and bid him welcome to the new world. Heralds clad In all the finery of a by-gone age and mounted on dashing steeds cantered through trie streets of Quebec today and men of the watch shouted out announcements to the crowds of the grcnt events to come. Practically all of the hotel accom modations of Quebec were engaged far In advance by parties of distinguished men and women from other lands and the rank and file of the visitors will be accommodated In the tent cities which have sprung up as if by magic on the heights of Quebec and In other places In and near the city. Hundreds of private residences have been open ed to visitors, and all the educational and religious Institutions of Quebec and Levis have transformed their class rooms and dormitories Into sleeping rooms which will accommo date thousands. Temporary restau rants and lunch rooms have been es tablished by scores and the provis ioning of the thousands Is not consid ered to be a matter of apprehension. A Great Spectacle. While the gathering of such a crowd In so small a city is bound to result In some discomfort for the vis itors, the great spectacle will be well worth It There Is no such other stage In the world for dramatic pagentry as the Plains of Abraham, where the grandeur of the natural scenery defies description, and where the 20,000 spectators In the grand stand, face the St Lawrence, S00 feet below, at th point where Wolfe's Highlander! clambored up the heights. From the foot of his statue, wher stands for all time the bronze figure of the great Cham plain, stepping ashore, as It were, as he did so long ago, to take possession of this new country of the west, the Prince of Wales and. Vice-President Fairbanks with other Illustrious guests will see In procession before them all the great men and women who have made this country what It Is, and later on will see, as In a dream, the moving living pictures of the great events or those early days. On the banks of that river, when the long rays of the sun stretch over the plains, shall be seen again, as Cartler saw nearly 400 years ago, a cluster of wigwams set beneath the trees. Away on the broad waters of the river many feet below will come the little boats with Cartler and his crew, tneir names still preserved and their descendants Impersonating them. Court of France" Pictured. Then the spectators will be trans ported in their dreams to the court oi France, the gardens at Fontalnbleu, and high on a white charger, trapped with cloth of gold, rides the proud fig ure of Francis I, as they see him In pictures painted when he lived and was surrounded by his court. Then back again for the little old village of Ptndacona to see Champlaln as he brings his girl 'wife to the new country. So on through many scenes, and then nt Inst In a final scene the armies of the brave nations, side by side in u parade of honor, the scarlet and gold of the Rritlsh and the blue and white of the French, headed by four noble generals Montcalm and Wolfe, Levis and Murray. The flags wave, the drums rattle, the trumpets blare, the dream of the past Is over and only the wonder of the present nnd the In finite possibilities of the future re main. No descendants of either Major General James Wolfe or of the Mar quis de Montcalm remain to take part In the ceremonies In the Ancient cap ital and ns for Samuel do Champlaln, there are none of his descendants known to be In existence. These are the three principal fig ures of the demonstration whose names will be linked for all time with the founding of Quebec and the most' notable battles. A War Romance. General Wolfe, as history Informs us, died unmarried though his action while In the sloop of war before land ing for his last fight .would tend to show he was betrothed to a Miss Low ther. Scnted In the cabin by the side of his former schoolfellow, Comman der John Jervls, afterwards Enrl St. Vincent, he told the latter that he expected to fall In the battle of the next day "and taking from his bosom a miniature of Miss Lowther, he gave It to him with. Abe- request that he would return it to her should the pre sentiment prove true." His request was faithfully carried out by his friend and schoolmate. Wolfe left no family and sleeps a brave warrior's sleep entombed by the side of his father and mother in the chapel of the ancient pulace of Greenwich. As Is well known, hi schlvalrous op. ponent, the Marquis de Montcalm, found' n soldier's grave 'nenth the chapel of the t'rsullne Convent, Que bec, In an excavation made by the bursting of n shell from one of the British men-of-war, bombarding the city during Wolfe's attack on the ."Plains." King Louis XV., In recog nition of Montcalm's splendid services at Tlconderoga, and the defense of Quebec, bestowed a pension of $20,000 a year upon his widow and children, which was, strange to say, continued to them, and the only pension left by the leaders of the revolution. Ahout 15 years ago, the press of Palis announced the death at Mont peller of the Marquis de Montcalm, who was prominent in society, and one of the most popular members of the Union club of Paris. He left no children, but merely an adopted son of the name St. Maurice, whf married j a Corslcan lady named Mile. Pnzzo d Horgo. There are alleged to be descendants t of Generals de Labis and Murray, who i fought nt the battle of Ste. Foye. The former was a cadet of the French and Spanish ducal houses of Levls- Mlrepolx, and which claim, descent ! from Levi, the son of Jacob. imiDE GOT TlfE LICENSE. Traveled 1500 Miles to Weil anil Then raiu.u lug aiiimii. Another leap year bride took out a license at the court house yesterday to wed a bashful young man, says the Spokesman-Review. She more fully' lived up to the traditions of the year by having only a few days since Jour neyed 1500 miles to wed a sweetheart of long standing. The fair applicant for the license I was Miss Mildred L. Bowmen of Minneapolis, and she is to marry Har ry A. Miller, editor of a paper at Fer rell, Idaho, and director of the Fer- rell orchestra. Miss Bowen denied that she had taken the initiative In the ceremony which Is about to be performed. "It was entirely a matter of reci procity," she explained, when asked If she were a regulation leap year bride. "My prospective husband wasn't afraid to take out the license. He was simply to busy getting ready for our wedding and' attending to his business at Ferrel, that I just had to come and get the license myself. We had arranged to be married tomorrogw and he had Intended getting to Spo kane in time to secure the license. He was unable to do so, and rather than have the wedding postponed I made up my mind that I could get the per mit for our marriage Just as well as not, so here I am, and it didn't take much nerve after all." Miss Bowen and Mr. Miller grew up together in Minneapolis, and their engagement antedates his coming to Idaho a short time ago to embark in business for himself. Success crowned his efforts In the new coun try from the start. He found that the climate agreed with him and he liked the people. He nlso liked the scenery and the way they do business in Ida ho. There was only one thing lack ing, he found to fill his cup of happi ness to the brim, and that was Mil dred. It needed only a little correspond ence to prepare that young woman for a hurry-up trip to Spokane to link her life with her beau Ideal of what a man should be. They will be married at 4 o'clock this afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Rock kood, at the home of tne bride's school, day friend, Mrs. John M. Long, 2330 Broadway. They will re side at Ferrell.
