Ell. SMITH CELEBRATES
HIS 18th BIRTHDAY

The 18th birthday of E. l.. Smith,
Hood Rivers grand old man, was cele-
brated quietly at bis home Sunday with
only few close relatives and family
friends present to partake of the birth
day dinner.
While the name of MIR. Smith is
closely linked with the pioneer history
of the three Pacific coast states, Cali
fornia, Washington and Oregon, he is
better known in the mid Columbia dis
trict than in any other section. He has
been known for many years an Hood
River Smith, because of his close con-
nection with the local fruit industry.
Over a quarter of century ago MIR.
Smith planted one of the first local
commercial orchards on his "Beulah
Land" estate. now owned by Oscar
Vanderbilt. For many years he was
president of the Oregon Horticultural
Society, land was one of the moving
spirits of northwestern fruit interests.
Mr.. Smith was a member of the Ore
gon Commission at the Pan-American
Exposition held at Buffalo, and was in
charge of the Oregon horticultural dis
play, which received the first award at
the International contests at the Buffalo
exposition.
Mr.. Smith is perhaps the last sur
vivor on the Pacific coast who attended
the Chicago Republican convention in
1860 that nominated Abraham Lincoln
for the presidency. But single dele
gate at this memorable convention sur
vives-Col. Sawyer, of Byde's Park,
Vermont.
Mr.. Smith is a native of Vermont.
In 1858, accompanying former in
structor, Prof. Isaac Parker, who was
called from New England to take the
chair of ancient languages at Lombard
University at Galesburg, Ill. Mr.. Smith
came to the Middle West to become q
student at the Galesburg institution.
1t was there that was begun a romance
between the young man and Miss Geor'
giana Slocom that culmiated in theil
wedding on March 4, 1861. MIR. Smiths
wife was also a native of Vermont,
but at the time Of the wedding was {
resident of Woodstock, McHenry
county, Illinois.
1t was while astudent of lombard
University that Mr.. Smith, with sew
eral other students, admirers of Lin
coin, were given permission to attent
the Chicago convention.
81 was present at every session Of
the great convention" says Mr.
Smith, except that Of the third day
after the great Lincoln had been nomi
mated"
The wedding of Mr.. Smith and Mis-
Slocom had been planned for the morn
ing of March 4. 1861. But was post
poned until the afternoon at the re
quest of the prospective bridegroom.

EAGLE CREEK CAMP
ATTRACTS VISITORS

During the month Of August. 1920
visitors registered at the Eagle Creek
camp grounds on the Oregon National
forest. This does not include all the
visitors, as many who picnic there on
Sundays do not take the time to regis
ter. There were 1862 names placed on
the register the last Sunday in August.
These camp grounds are as miles out
of Portland and are adjacent to the
Columbia highway. A loop road from
the highway traverses the camp
grounds, and gives easy access to the
numerous camp sites which have been
cleared and fitted up for use by the
Forest Service. Water has been piped
to the grounds and system of sewers
installed, and centrally located COM
fort station has been erected for the
convenience of the public. Garbage
cans are placed at easy intervals for
public use.
From the camp grounds a pictur-
esque trail leads up the canyon of
Eagle creek. When completed it will
connect with the Herman creek trail
and make possible an attractive 22-
mile trip from the highway at Eagle
creek to Wahtum lake. and then back
to the highway by the Herman creek
trail. The Eagle creek trail runs for
some distance on the side of a bluff.
where it was necessary to blast pass
age out of the rock. The formation
resembles that of Shepherds Dell on
the highway. A wonderful series Of
water falls on Eagle Creek will be
made accessible by this trail. Most
visitors at the camp grounds make the
trail trip as far as the point where the
contraction crew is at work.
A forest officer is stationed at the
camping ground and looks after fire
and sanitary conditions about the
place. A tent has served this season
as his headquarters, but it is planned
to erect a permanent ranger station
building in the near future.

Paris, May ga news dispatch
from Athens says that grave trouble
has broken out there following the
news of the invasion of Macedonia by
the Bulgarians. ..
Bulgarian troops crosed the Greek
frontier on May 20, and, occupied the
Greek forts Of Rupel, Dragotin and
Spatovo. The Greek troops which had
garrisoned these forts withdrew on
the advance of the Bulgarians, who
claimed permission from Athens for
their act: The Bulgarians were said
to be led by German officers who ex-
planned to the commanders of the
Greek forts that the central powers
were merely being accorded the same
privilege that. had been given tho
allies in permitting them to occupy
Saloniki.

day that feeling was running very

garian invasion The Herald, the

FEIR FEDERAL OWNERSHIP
Boston Men Appear Before Senators
to Protest Against the Proposed
... Shipping Bill.

Washington, D. c., May 28.-Win-
throp l.. Marvin and Edward E. Blod-
gett, representing the Boston Chamber
of Commerce, appeared before SEN
ate committee today to oppose the gov
ernment ownership and operation feat
ures of the shipping bill.
"We fear" said Mr.. Marvin, that
government participation in the ship
ping business would be an entering
wedge toward socialism, that the ef-
feet of such operation would mark an
advance toward government acquisi-
tion in other fields"
As an alternative for government
operation. the Boston representatives
suggested carefully supervised and
guarded subsidies from the govern
ment sufficient to Offset the difference
in cost between operation of ships un-
der the American and foreign flags and
government subventions to establish
regular mail and freight lines to coun-
tries where United States interests are
important.

MEETING DATE IN DOUBT.

Columbus, N. NJ, May 2s.-No word
has been received from Gen. Gavira
regarding the date for his conference
with Gen. Pershing. AS Gen. Pershing
is understood to have selected q spot
near Colonia Dublan for the meeting,
the time, 1t is said, has been left to
the convenience of the Mexican leader.
1t Is believed that Gen. Gavira Is in
communication with Gen. Carranza,
receiving Instructions as to the prop
ositions to be laid before Gen. Per
shing which will have to do more or
less with the present dispositions Of
American troops in chihuahua. 49,
It Is expected Gen. Gavira will re-
mind Gen. Pershing that the further
presence Of American troops in Mexi-
co Is unnecessary and that until the
troops are withdrawn demonstrations
against the American troops by the
civilian population are inevitable.
According to information received
here tonight, several bandit bands are
operating south Of the American lines
In territory recently evacuated by
Gen. Pershing's columns.
