GOODELL'S FATHER WAS
KNOWN IN GRANTS PASS

Considerable mystery has sur
rounded the death of John Lawrence
Goodell. the crippled night clerk,
who was Shot and killed at Angela
Hotel in Portland April %, by A. b,
Foster, love-crazed druggist. Port
land papers state that young Good
ell was an orphan. was born at Sa-
lem, and was the son of an Alaskan
judge.
A Courier reporter learns from
George NJ Esterly, prominent min
ing man of Waldo and who also has
extensive mining interests in Alaska,
some history concerning the deceas-
ed hotel clerks parents. According
to Mr.. Esterly. who was well ac-
quainted with the boys father, the
lad was the son of prominent people
His father went to Alaska a few
years ago as deputy collector OF Gus
toms, practiced law at Valdez, Alas
Ia, and later, through the influence
of Mr.. Esterly. became U. S. COM.
missioner at Cooks Inlet. In 1896
he was county clerk of Josephine
county, Oregon.
While in Alaska Mr.. Goodell was
known as Judge Goodell. His health
failed him and about five years age
he committed suicide at Sitka Hot
Springs, Alaska.
John Lawrence Goodell's mother
was formerly Miss Benson, daughter
of Frank W. Benson. who was secre-
tary Of state of Oregon and became
ex-officio governor in 1909 by the
resignation of Governor Chamberlain
who was elected to the United States
senate. Benson was governor from
March 1, 1909, to June II, 1870.

Recently, in the smoking compart-
ment OF Pullman this same dough-
boy was telling about his experiences
overseas. BY some curious lapse OF
memory he condemned the Y. M. C.
A. service In violent terms. When he
had finished Secretary Lane asked
him II he remembered a Y. M. G. A.
man risking his life to carry him
drink Of water one night when he
lay wounded in No Mans Land.
The doughboy replied that he did.
"Im that secretary" replied Lane
and the boy hung his head In shame.

BATTLEFIELD SERVICE

San Francisco, Apr. 29.--During
the Chateau Thierry drive, Y. M.
c. A. man, Secretary Lane, while
passing from hole to hole where the
American doughboys had dug-in
heard the cries of wounded lad out
in No Mans Land. He crept out TO
the spot and found doughboy who
begged him to get some water. 1t
was too risky to try to carry the boy
to safety. Lane crawled back and
got the water. Then the boy asked
him to take the crucifix to the priest
and have him bless 1t and bring 1t
back. Lane was glad to do this ser
vice.

TO ORGANIZE BAND

About fifty people assembled at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
last night to enjoy the regular Mon
day dinner and to take steps imme-
diately to encourage the organiza-
tion OF a band for Grants Pass.
There was no speaking. but excellent
music was furnished by Carpenters
orchestra.
At the close OF the dinner Presl-
dent Bramwell arose and announced
the purpose of the meeting. He stat
ed that there would be no speakers
and that the entire evening would be
spent talking band"
The motion that the Chamber, of
Commerce support band was car
ried unanimously and 1t was decided
to finance the band by popular sub
scriptlons. A committee for this
purpose was appointed and Is busy
today collecting the necessary
amount to start the organization,
which is estimated to be about $500.
Grants Pass has the talent, and
there is no reason why this city
should not have one of the best
bands in the state. Many people are
contributing literally. Show your
public spirit by getting behind the
movement and assisting little in a
financial way. The list OF those who
donate toward the support Of the
band boys Will be published in to-
morrow's Courier. VIII your name

That the airplane in it's quick
adaptation to commercial uses is rec.
ognized as a to game ana
game birds is the belief of Peter p.
Carney, editor of the National Sports
Syndicate.
Mr.. Carney says unrestricted
shooting of wild owl from airplanes
would cause a serious depletion, If not
absolute determination. of many game
birds. whereas the tendency of hunt
ing legislation for years has been
toward the protection and propaga-
ton of game.
Moreover. without restriction the
hunting of wild fowl would become
a sport in which only aviators could
engage, giving a comparative few a
monopoly. as the planes would drive
the birds away from the haunts in
which the ordinary hunter could get
a shot at them.
"The director of military aeronau-
tics, United Statets army. has forbid

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. April. 5.-Corn weakened
somewhat today, influenced by more
liberal offerings from the country.
Cash houses were conspicuous sellers
Iagainst purchases to arrive. Renewed
reports Of labor d%ificulties. at Buenos
AIRES led afterward to a temporary
reaction. Opening prices, which
ranged from 1 cent lower to V cent
advance with May 1.57 to Y and
July 1.49A to 1.50h, were followed
by a general upturn. which, however,
failed to, last.
{ Oats paralleled the action of corn.
After opening u cen off to y cent
up with May 67k to 68. the market
hardened a little and then underwent
a moderate sag all around.
Provisions lacked support.
Although in the early trading july
and September touched new high
fprice levels for the season, active
selling of May weakened the entire
market throughout most of the ses.
sion. Prices closed heavy, ga to :
cents net lower. with May ,$1.56 1-S@
3-8 and July $1.4S 3-4@7-8.
Increased strength in the hog mar
ket led subsequently to a sharp up
turn for provisions.
