Committee is Busy With Plans-Ap-
probation Will be Sufficient to
Entertain Veterans.

Columbia.-The local committees
are hah at work on arrangements
for the coming Confederate reunion
The executive committee met at the

ters, Daughters of the Confederacy,

NJ c. A.
The executive committee resolved
at it's meeting that the $1,000 appro-
priated by the legislature be used for
the entertainment of the veterans ex-
clusively, and that they further de-
cided that the sum Is sufficient for en-
tertaining the old soldiers no addi-
tional appropriation from the city
being necessary. The committee re-
peats the request that those Colum-
bans who expect to entertain any OF
the veterans free or who are willing
to take them at moderate rate will
notify n. o. Pyles, head of the bu-
reau of information. Mr. Pyles can
be reached through the general de-
livery, Columbia.
The committee were assured by the
women of the two chapters, U. d. G.,
of their hearty cooperation in the en-
tertainment of the veterans, and were
offered some practical suggestions by
the women. Several Of these sugges-
tions will doubtless be adopted, bring
ing about minor changes in the ar
rangements.
The committee decided that each OF
the old veterans, before he can be
served to meals, must report to the
bureau of information, giving his
name and regiment, and receiving one
OF the reunion badges. Meals are to
be served each day OF the reunion.

Paris, May 4.-"If I am alive to-
day it is because l have had great
good luck. l shall never ride an
aeroplane again-at least not until
they are vastly more strongly con-
structed than they are now"
Hubert Latham, returned from
America and a trip around the world,
flying in China, the Philippines and
elsewhere, made this statement here
today to the United Press.
The reason for this decision comes
from the fact that it his mothers
wish. Personally, he fears nothing
least of all death
without Dragging" Latham said,
81 believe l can fly an aeroplane as
well as any of them, but had many
accidents on my trip. I completely
destroyed many aeroplanes. l made
$150,O0O net, and had it not been
sor my accidents it would have been
a bigged sum than that.
"Your American flying menrare the
best in the world. Within two or
three years America will leave Eu-
rope away behind in aeroplaning.
The next Gordon Bennett cup may be
interesting-an possibly the one
after that. But from then ION l din't
expect to see anyone on this side of
the water to get look in on the
race. The cup will go to America
and stay there. American aviators
train six months before going into
the air. A man is given license to
fly here in three weeks. American
aviators are dare devils in the air,
but they know their machines"

MAY PROVE
BEST FIND
or CENTURY
THE NEW FIND OF GOLD NEAR
GRANTS PASS HAS ALREADY
YIELDED $4,000, AND GIVES
PROMISE OF MILLIONS.

c. L. Magnum, widely known
Western mining authority, who has
just returned to Grants Pass, from
the strike in the Higgins mine at
the summit of Slide and Rancherie
creeks, 20 miles northwest of Selma,
says the gold was found in an i'm
mense ledge of quartz porphyry be-
tween the andesite and serpentine.
The ledge was stripped of 800 feet Of
gold found at the top where erosion
and disintegration had taken place.
The material was shoveled into
sluice boxes covered by the use OF
Hungarian rifles
Higgins, the owner, and Messrs.
Gage and Ross, lesses, have received
by this process II tons of gold con-
centrates, averaging fully $4,000
per ton. Active mining has ceased
for the present, pending the purchase
of the property by ]. M. McPhee, of
Portland, who has an option until
May 10. With development it re-
garded as promising very rich
property. Other properties near by
are showing very rich.

RIVERS ARE
ALIVE WITH
BIG SALMON

That both the Columbia and Will
lamette rivers are teeming with sal
mon, and that the fishermen along
both streams are looking forward to
a fishing season that will surpass all
others in recent years is the an
nouncement of Master Fish Warden
Clanton, who is just back from visit
to points along both rivers, in the
interest of the fish department.
The salmon fishing season opened
at noon May l. and ever since then
the waters of the Columbia, the Will
annette and the Clackamas have
been black with he b)ats of fisher
men. The law pertaining to the
closed season was rigidly enforced
by the master fish warden and his
deputies, and practically no fishing
was done. In a few isolated cases
violations of the law occurred, and
in each the offenders were prose
cuted to the full extent of the Law.
The result has been a protection of
fish, and it has been one that has
operated beneficially to the fisher
men, as we'll as to the state.

Jointly With Their Men, and the

Up Their Grievances Directly
With the Road-OfficiaIs Claim
Chicago Strikers Are Hiring Slug
gers to Beat Nom Union Men.
[uNIrEp PRESS Ln.spp w1nr. |

Chicago, May 4.-With the refusal
today of the railroads 10 negotiate
jointly with their men, strike with
in two days is promised by 10000
freight handlers in Chicago and six
adjacent states, which probably will
be marked by serious rioting and
bloodshed.
Railroad officials today notified
Commissioner of Labor Charles p.
Neill that their position was unal-
terable, and that the dissatisfied en-
ployes insult deal directly with the
roads employing them and not
through their own organization.
An official today openly charged
that hired sluggers, employed by
strikers, were attacking elevator
constructors employed by the Otis
Elevator company. At the office of
the Elevator company it was said
that strikers had attacked a number
of non-union men with knives and
clubs, resulting in serious injury to
several.
