GOLD BEACH. Ore, Aug. g.
Scores of prospectors and adven-
turers are trooping through this lit
tie Quitting town at the mouth OF
Rogue river, bound for Mule creek,
some forty miles upstream, where
e strike Of rich ore has started the
Vests newest gold rush.
Ore. which experienced mining
men say will run $4,000 to the ton,
has been uncovered by prospectors
in a vein of decomposed quartz.
This latest find, which followed
many other recent ones, has slim
ulated interest IN the region so
much that the trek to the diggings
amount to a real gold rush.
Until the recent strike, the place
was marked only by a tumbled-
down fiuIne, rusted sawmill (packed
in on burros) and dilapidated ny
draulic giants" used to tear up the
aIluvial sands.
Operations are hampered by
transportation difficulties. 1t is
twenty miles by road and twenty
more by a narrow trail from Grants
Pass down river to the new diggings.
ProSpectors can go upstream from
Gold Beach by motorboat to a point
fifteen miles below Mule creek. From
there everything must be packed in
over mountain trails.
Possibility of airplane transporta-
ton is under consideration, but it
is difficult to find a fiat piece of
ground large enough for a landing

In Bunting, Awaits
To Welcome ooDer

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-(P)-
Bunting, red, white and blue, like
strange flowers suddenly blooming
out Of stone and brick, drapes
capital buildings. Washington has
become a city Of flags. On Penn
sylvania avenue there is the incon-
gruouS sight of crude wooden stands,
built of implanted lumber. Every
incoming train brings its group OF
visitors. The Inauguration OF Her
bert Hoover as the thirty-firSt
president of the United States is
only three days away. d
-Four years ago the city outWardly
was much the same. Bunting draped
brick and stone buildings. flags were
flying and every train brought its
group of visitorS-but today Calvin
Coolidge, president Of the United
States, is preparing to go back to
the quiet town Of Northampton
Mass. He will not even wait to ride
up Pennsylvania avenue with his
successor after the inauguration but
will go to the train almost directly
after Herbert Hoover takes the oath
as president. Herbert Hoover was
secretary of commerce four years
ago. He had been mentioned for
the presidency: had even been put
in nomination at a republican con
/ vention. He got much applause from
the galleries but few votes from the
delegates.
Dawes To Leave
Charles G. Dawes, vice president
Of the United States. today was also
preparing to leave Washington. He
plans to leave for Evanston, Illinois
Monday evening. He will not 20
unnoticed but four years ago he was
drawing almost as much attention
as the president. His fame as q
banker. soldier and a user Of the
expression Hell ahd Maria in mo-
ments Of stress had preceded him
and due notice had been taken of
one Of his closest companions, an
~underSlung pipe. The senate was in
session then but it could not fore
see that Dawes was TO astound them
by his vigorous lectures Oh that
body'S rules.
Charles Curtis, vice president
elect, was a senator then and today
he was still busy in the senate but
his time there is short. Senator
Curtis has a strain Of Indian blood
and st the inauguration more than
100 Indians are to be present. They
will wear at the inaugural and in the
parade, feathers, paint and buck
skin, and during their stay here viii
pitch their tepees on the ground

Almost all the tribes Of the country
will be represented and lest the
memory Of old quarrels and feuds
make them forget their purpose in
coming to the capital. diplomacy
will be exercised in pitching tepees.
Parade Plans Made
Plans for the inaugural parade
are almost complete. General
Charles P. Summerall, grand marsh

President Coolidge and President
