RECRUITING FOR G. A. R.
OLD SOLDIERS URGED TO JOIN POSTS
IN A GOOD CAUSE.
Necessity for Veterans to BE United
on Pension Matters Cause OF
the Appeal.

Letters relative to the pension legislation
that is expected in the coming session Of
Congress will be sent out from the head
quarters of the Department of Indiana,
Grand Army of the Republic, to-day or to-
morrow. by Assistant Adjutant General
Nicely.
Much interest is manifest among the old
soldiers as to what bills will be passed by
the Congress That legislation of some kind
will be enacted is certain, and the posts of
the country will endeavor to secure the
proper kind of legislation. The letters state
that an effort will be made at the next or
succeeding session of Congress TO pass a
service pension bill, a bill that is of interest
to all soldiers who served ninety days or
over from 1861 to 1865 and have an honor
able discharge. The bill is now being can
vassed by Senators and members of Con-
gress, and the Grand Army posts of the
State will be called upon to forward petit
asking them 10 use their influence toward
getting the right kind of legislation.
The letters sent out from the headquar-
ters suggest that every soldier should be-
come a member of some G.. y. X. post in
order that when the petitions are presented
the number of names will be sufficient tc
carry weight that will be recognized
There now in Indiana between 80, 00t
and $4,000 old soldiers. of whom 1889 were
on the pension rolls at Indianapolis or
June 30, 1903. OF this number only 15,5
belong TO the Grand Army of the Republic
| and are therefore eligible to sign the petit
| tons. Emphasis is placed on the number
of petitioners, and efforts will be made
within the next four months to get every
honorably-discharged soldier into the Crane
Army.

COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANS.


The Commercial Club. at its monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon. discussed the
advisability Of having a city ordinance
regulating billboards. a number of the
cities of the country have such ordinances
and II is probable that the club will recon-
mend one in Indianapolis. The ordinance
Of San Francisco. restricting the height Of
the boards to not more than ten feet and
the distance from the sidewalks not closer
than ten feet. was discussed. The question
was placed in the hands OF the committee
on city interests.
Long parades were also discussed by the
club and the general opinion prevailed that
funeral parades should restrict themselves
If possible TO side streets and not cause a
delay of traffic in the downtown districts.
Unusually long parades, IL was thought
should be divided in order not tc stop
traffic. This matter was also placed in the
hands Of the committee on city interests.
The question OF voting machines was con-
sidered but no action taken.
The club decided TO print a sixteen-page
booklet containing facts about the city, its
advantages and opportunities for industrial
concerns, photographs and maps of the
city, etc. Ten thousand of these booklets
will be printed and distributed over the
country by means Of hotels and conven-
tions.
The club will appoint two delegates to at
tend the meeting Of the Mississippi River
Improvement and Levee Association.

Beginning with January l, the steam
ship Oregon win make regular runs on
the Portland Frisco route, per o. r, q
N. The Oregon piled in and out of this
port for 20 years, or from 1879 to 1888,
but for the past i've years the liner has
been in the Alaska trade out Of Puget
sound. She vas put on the northern
route soon after the rush to the Klon-
dixie took place. Puget sound parties
purchased the vessel, and she Is now
being chartered by her original owners,
She was thoroughly overhauled at the
time of her transfer and 1t Is said is
IN better shape now than at that time.
The Oregon will be put on for a three
months run, or while the Columbia -
being overhauled. The Columbia will
be in readiness to resume her run be-
fore the end of three months. but as
the business by that time is>expected to
be much greater than now. the Ore
ron will be continued to handle freight.
Whether she will be kept on the run
throughout the spring must be determ-
ined by the conditions that then rre-
vail. Recently the Oregon has been
involved in litigation touching upon the
alleged neglect OF passengers travelling
from Alaska to Seattle.
