If anything more were needed to strengthen the fact that we are a reunited people, sentiments heard on the field will do it. . I asked several in the gray: " 'If that flag- were fired upon today, would you stand by my side to pro tect it?" "To this question "the invariable re ply was, 'I would,' and there was added, 'and we can whip anyone who has the hardihood to attack us." "What more could be desired? Old Home In Visited. "On my return from Gettysburg I visited my old home and birthplace, Lawrenceburgr, Ind., where I met my only living brother and sister, other relatives and many o'.d friends. I found my beloved natal place hardly recov ered from the ravages of the flood of the Ohio that visited the besom of de struction upon it last Spring. Houses displaced and debris of various sorts marked the dilnpidation wrought. From there I visited my nephew at Peoria, 111., v.hor.i I had not seeu since he was quite a boy. Peoria. Is a city of about 100,000 pou'atlor, distributed on and below.- the ult-'ifo of the Illinois River, which at this j.iae widens into a lake. It is situated In the midst of the corn belt and Is a great Industrial center. I had a hot time there with the weather man giving us during my stay as high as 110 decrees. "An automobile ride from Prospect Heights to the wet bluff, covering all the territory on the bluffs, gave me a very favorable impression of the resi dential portion of the city. A regatta of rowing associations, comprising rep resentatives of the Middle West served to give me two pleasant afternoons and to show the use to. which Peorians.put their magnificent river. "Saturday morning, July 19, I bade my nephew and family goodbye and turned my face westward on the return to Oregon." . CLUBWOMEN DECLARE MARKET FOR JUVENILES IS UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS While Official Trading Place Is Closed, Manager Announces That Stand Will Be Conducted Privately in New Location to Meet Insistent Demand of Young Producers. BIG MILL WILL 'RESUME LOGGING OTJTPirr OX COOS BAY TO BE INCREASED. Branch Road to Timber Area Will Construct Stations for Conven ience of Ranchers. MAKSHFIELD, Or., July 26. (Spe cial.) The East Bide mill of the C. A. Smith Company, which has been closed for several weeks for remodeling, will resume operations soon. The out of the mill has been Increased from about 150,000 feet. for a 10-hour shift, to be tween 250,000 and 300.000 feet. Arno Mereen, general superintendent of the company, and C. A. Smith, head of the company, are expected here to see the remodeled mill start operations. The dally output of the C. A. Smith Company on Coos Bay will be Increased to about 750,000 a day. The large mill of the company recently made Its high average for a month, the average out put for a 10-hour shift for the 30 days being 458,000 feet. ' The large mill of the company, when both are running, saws fir lumber .only and the large dimension stuff, while the small mill takes the spruce and hem lock. To supply the increased output of the mills, the Smith-Powers Logging Company, which supplies the logs, will open a number of new camps south of Coquille, on the 22-mile logging road now being completed into the big bait of timber which the company owns there. This timber, by extensions of the road and the building of small "feeders," will, it is estimated, supply sufficient logs to operate the mill for 50 years. The Smith - Powers Company will operate the road for its own business, but has made an arrangement whereby the Southern Pacinc, which owns the short line between MarshfleldV and Myrtle Point, will - handle the other railroad service. Four of five stations will be opened along th line for the various camps and also for the con venience of ranchers ' in the valleya traversed by the road. The Smith- Powers Company will operate its lod ging trains between Myrtle Point and Marshfield over the Southern-Pacific line on a wheelage basis. HEN the recent heat wave was at its height, when collars wilted and clothes seemed an obsession, the drinking fountains, pre sented to the city by S. Benson, the millionaire timberman, reached the pinnacle of their popularity and be came the vortices of thirsty crowds, who drank deeply at one corner, and then, reaching another fountain in the waste of sizzHng asphalt and scorch ing concrete, joined other crowds at other corners to drink again and again of the cooling Bull Run water. Yesterday a little fellow was lifted up for a drink. He drank and drank "tried to swallow the btihhla ho tniA his mother, and then when it kept right on DUDonng as though he had not done his best, he cried and was led away, still crying because of his failure. T1gpt skirts become tighter when their wearers Join the less fashionably dressed for a refreshing "Benson cock tail." Newsboys take their stand near the fountains. They believe that it is easier to sell papers after prospective cus tomers have had a good drink. Strangers in Portland often declare, as they lift their faces from the foun tains, that "tftis is the finest thing you have." The fountains are whirlpools of de mocracy. Sometimes four distinct races may be seen drinking at the same time, and the "color line," how ever well defined it may be at other places, recedes to the vanishing point on a hot afternoon at the corner of Sixth and Alder, Fifth and Washington, or any of the other 30-odd corners in the city where, night and day, the Ben son fountains bubble their little sog of welcome and generosity.

On the second day, or rather during the night of -the first, our men were moved from Cemetery Hill to Culp's Hill. The Johnnies were all around us during the night," and until 3 o'clock in .the morning, when the Twelfth Corps came up and joined us on the right. In this position we fought the second and third days, and on the morning of the fourth drove Lee's rear-guard out of Gettysburg. "This meeting will long be remem bered by me.

FTER several weeks of successful Awl operation, the Juvenile Market, which, has been conducted under the auspices of the Portland Woman's Club In the old Ladd & Tllton Bank building, at First and Stark streets, was closed yesterday for the season. During its operation interest shown by both the children as contributors to its stock and the people of Portland, as patrons, was great and many of the school chil dren of the city laid the foundations for bank accounts in the sale of their produce and handiwork in the market 'Begun as an experiment," say the officers of the Woman's Club, in an nouncing the closing of the market. 'and carried op with unexpected suc cess, the Portland Woman's Club has demonstrated to the satisfaction of it self, the school authorities and the public the value of a juvenile market." Aim fiot Philanthropic. "The original Intention," It is as serted, "was to open it on:y for a few days, or a week at most, that the work of the children in growing and tending the vegetables in the school gardens might bring them some returns other than the prizes offered by the school garden contest. A number of children, however, showed such eagerness to sell what they had grown and made- that the market has been kept open from week to week to accommodate those who were still bringing in things to sell. But not having started the work early enough for children to have late vegetables in paying quantities, the committee in charge has decided to close it for the season. "The one thing determined upon by the committee in the start was to di vest the enterprise of every semblance of philanthropy, and make it entirely self-supporting. In order to do this more children will have to be inter ested and as the school year approaches the number will decrease rather than Increase, hence the decision of the com mittee to close the market for the sea son. "The committee has been In confer ence with Professor Alderman, and an other year it is the hope of the Wo man's Club, that, now they have dem onstrated the value and benefit of a juvenile market, the school authorities will make it a part of their official work. "In closing the market the Women's Club committee wishes to express its thanks to the press, to the Ladd & Til ton Bank and all the friends of the market who have been so generous in their patronage and assisted in the suc cess of the work." A large number of the children who have been bringing in produce to the market still desire that it shall be con tinued and Mrs. Eunice M. Douglas, who was its manager for the Woman's Club, announced yesterday that she would reopen the market privately Wednesday in the Yamhill Market at Yamhill, between First and Second streets, space having been donated for the purpose by the managers of the market. FIVE GENERATIONS REPRESENTED IN ONE FAMILY, ALL WOMEN. IT WAS hard for the veterans"- who attended the recent reunion at Gettysburg to distinguish the points where they had stood during the great battle and the places where im portant hand-to-hand encounters were fought, according to Faul Truitt, of Wren, Or., who returned from the cele bration last week. Mr. Truitt was a member of the Seventh Indiana and was one of the party of Oregon veterans who left here on a special train to attend the re union. Other members of his regiment who went with him were John C. Rans dell, of 143 East Seventy-third street, and Henry Dooley, of 334 Monroe street. The monuments, markers, signs and tablets that have been erected on the site of the field where the battle was fought, says Mr. Truitt, served as ex cellent guides to the veterans who were able thus to find their way about with ease. Trip la Described. In describing hls trip he said: "I left my home at Wren, Or., June 16 to attend the state encampment at Newberg, where we had three delight ful days. At Portland we took the train and were on our way to the ojty and battlefield of Gettysburg. There we met the Confederates, who, 50 years ago. faced us on that battlefield in fratricidal conflict. Now we met in re union as friends and joined hands in brotherly affection. This meeting, I am proud to say to my friends In the West, will eveV be memorable to me. The number of soldier-comrades in re union on the field was estimated to be about 54,000, but to one present the number seemed . 100,000. "At first, to me and old comrades I had fallen in with, it was hard to get the bearings. Trees grown up and roads running here and there confused us. The key to the situation, to me, was the discovery of a monument erected to the Seventh Indiana Infantry on Culp's Hill. Here was where I stood during the battle, and from here I readily found other points marked by lines of cannon, shrapnel and other Dana, it was not long until I was per fectly at home and amid the monu ments and markers that the Govern ment has used so well to aid one to know and to trace positions. 'How-well I recalled ' July ' 1. 1863! We arrived on the field that day. We were In that part of the Army desig nated the First Army Corps. There was fighting to our right and in front of us. All the Orenerals were on Ceme tery Height Hancock, Howard, Dou bleday directing and fighting. When they saw us, they came riding up. ".'What troops are these?' was asked Seventh Indiana Infantry,' was the reply. Night One of Fighting. "Great was the enthusiasm at this information of staunch aid so near at hand.
