MANY COAST GIRLS
SHANGHAIED TO CHINA YEARLY

Los Angeles.-A possible clew to
the whereabouts of some of the young
girls who have disappeared mysterl-
ously from Los Angeles in the last
year was furnished by Captain of De,
tectives Flammer today.
He makes the startling statement
that the girls have been "shanghaied'
gled aboard vessels at San Francisco
and taken to China, there to live life
of slavery in brothels.
Several denizens of the old red
light district have been engaged in
the traffic of procuring white girls
for the resorts of China" said the
Captain. "a price of $1,000 a head Is
reported to have been offered for
every girl smuggled aboard a Chi
nese freight vessel in San Francisco
or tramp ship sailing for China.
zone of the procurers confessed,
just before leaving Los Angeles, that
he had sent away 25 girls within a
year"
In San Francisco, Portland and Sc
attic and in smaller towns and cities
along the coast, it Is said the same
kind Of raids have been made on
young girls According to the procur-
ers, thousands of girls have been sent
from the United States to China in
the last few years.
The gang has been broken up and
driven from Los Angeles, though evil
dence for arrests was insufficient.

With the big Fourth of July cele-
bratiop but two days off, much in
terest is being manifested by those
who expect to contest for the many
valuable prizes hung up by the sew
eral committees. As result this Of
flee and the various committeeman
are being beseiged with questions.
From the amount of interest mani
tested it is believed that Frank Fra
zier will come near having his one
hundred ladies on horseback to lead
the parade and that Walter Nc
Cormmach will have more than so
decorated automobiles in line,
Owing 10 the fact that the deco
ratA1 autos can be shown to better
advantage in the morning than at
night, the prizes for the best deco
rated machines will be given on the
showing made in the morning parade.
1t was first announced that the priz-
es would be offered for the showing
made at night. This has been chang
ed, but it is expected that all the
machines will participate in the IL
Illuminated parade at night, as well
as the one in the morning.
And because of the autos in the
parade the illuminations at night
will be OF such a nature that there
will be no danger of the cars catching
fire. There will be no permiscous
shooting of skyrockets or roman can
dies while the parade is in progress.

WILL CONTEST FOR
THE LARGE ESTATE

John B. Gagnon of Athena, is a
nephew of Gilbert Gagnon. the
French Canadian who went to Cali
fornia in early days and who died
several years ago leaving an estate
valued at many thousands of dol
lars. The Umatilla county man will
therefore make an effort to secure
his portion of the estate as the old
man died intestate and left no chill
dren.
A news item in the East Oregonian,
few days ago, conveyed the first
news of the death of his uncle, to
the Athena man, though the former
eqL 'sIee6 eAleMl IoJ psep uesq ppu
dispatch stated that the estate was
reported to be worth sS,O0O,000 and
that an attorney who was represent
ing 25 of the heirs was making an
effort to locate an unknown friend
in whose care the estate was left.
Attorney viii NJ. Peterson has ia
ken up the case for John Gagnon
and he has learned that while the
estate is not worth eight million that
it is worth many thousands of dol
lars and that it consists for the most
part of property in San Froncisco,
Los Angeles and San Bernadino. On
behalf of his client Peterson is plan
ming to make a trip to California in
the near future.

LAD Is DROWNED FROM
BOAT IN CROOKED RIVER

Madras, Ore, June S0,-Percy Kid
der, 15-year-old son of G. w. Kid
der, was drowned in the Crooked
river about noon Saturday The ac-
cident occurred about one mile from
the junction of the Deschutes with
the Crooked river.
Young Kidder with his father was
returning from the west side of the
river where they had been fishing in
rowboat and the boat was capsiz-
ed near the rapids, just below Boeg-
lis fruit orchard Mr.. Kidder told
his son to cling to the boat, but the
boy failed to reach it and was lost
from sight in a moment after the
boat was overturned, He never
came into view again.
Mr.. Kidder clung to the boat and
was picked up a mile or more be-
low almost dead. The waters had
chilled him until he could not stand.
Mr.. Kidder is a prosperous farmer of
the Madras country and has a family
of several children.
Because of the many large springs
that flow into Crooked river near its
mouth the waters are very cold and
run swiftly. Large trout are to be
had there at all times of the year and
it is a common practice for residents
of this section to go there for a days
sport,

The prizes for the lady riders will
also be awarded as a result of the
showing made in the morning and
from present indications the judges
will have their hands full when they
come to making the awards.
The footraces and other street
sports will be held on Court and
Main streets. Printed programs will
be furnished for distribution among
the thousands of people expected to
be present and these programs will
give the place for each event.
The general committee has the
machinery of arrangements in fine
working order and it is believed that
not a hitch Of any kind will occur to
mar the pleasure of one of the most
successful events ever arranged for
an eastern Oregon town.
