Leader of Exports Now, With. a. tv "VVorU In SlRfct for the Tear. Cotton is still king in the export records of the United States, and its record In the present year Is likely to surpass that of any preceding year. The value of raw cotton exported In the 12 months ending with May is, according to the preliminary figures of the Treasury Bureau of fata- tistlcs. J30S.747.095, which is 55,000.000 in excess of the highest 11 monthsf figures heretofore recorded by this preliminary statement The highest 11 months' rec ord for any earlier year was that for the 11 months ending with May, 1901, when the total stood at J303.497.617. Should the figures for June of this year equal those of June In the immediately preceding years the total for the fiscal year would be $317, 000,000. or $4,000,000 in excess of the ban ner year. 190L The quantity exported this year Is not as great as that of the years 1S9S and 1S99, but, owing to the higher prices received, the value Is very much greater than that of those years; and, as already indicated, larger than that of the corresponding months of any preced ing year. The total quantity exported In the 11 months ending with May, according to the preliminary statement. Is 3,4Sl,3o3, 2S7 pounds: against 3.203,621.478 pounds In the corresponding months of 1901, when the value was J5.000.000 less than at .the pres ent time, and 3,721,310.009 pounds In 11 months of 1S9S, when the value was but $222,414,180. Thus the total quantity at the present time is 210.000.000 pounds less than that of the corresponding 11 months of 189S, but the value Is J86.000.000 in ex cess of the value for the corresponding period of that year. The average price per pound of the cotton exported, deter mined by dividing the number of pounds Into the value stated by the Bureau of Statistics records, is for the 11 months ending with May. 1903, 8.87 cents, and for the 11 months ending with May, 1S9S, 5.97 cents. Comparing the total values of cotton ex ported with those of preceding years, it may be said that 1903 seems likely to show the largest tqtal value In raw cot ton exports of any year In the history of our commerce. In 1848 the total value of raw cotton exported was. In round terms. $02,000,000; In 1SS0, 5192,000.000; in 1870, $227, 000.000 In paper but J184.OOO.O00 stated in gold: in-lSS0. J211.000.000; in 1S90 SC50.000.- 000: In 1900. 5242.000.000: In 1901. 5313.000.000; and. as already indicated, seems likely to be, for 1903, $317;000.000. Meantime the value of cotton exported In manufactured form has also Increased, and will' make its highest record In the present fiscal year. The total value of cotton manufactures exported In the ten months ending with April Is $27,932,f9, in dicating that the total for tho full fiscal year will probably be about 534.000,000, against 533.000.000 in 1902. 524.000.000 in 1900. 510.000.000 in 1890. 510,000.000 In 1SS0. and 54.000.000 in 1870. At the same time the cotton manufac turers of the United States have increased and are still increasing their consumption of cotton both from our own fields and from abroad. The total number of bales taken by the mills of the United States last year for the first -time passed the 400.000 line, the figures being 4.0S3.000 bales, against 3.C44.000 in 1900, 3,325.600 bales in 1890. 1,795,000 bales In 1SS0, and 857.000 bales In 1S70. Manwhlle the Importations of foreign cotton, chiefly Egyptian are growing with remarkable rapidity, the importations In the present year being likely to reach 30,- 000.000 pounds, to which may be added 20, 000,000 pounds of "flocks." or cotton waste, with a total valuation of about 512,000.000; against 43,000.000 pounds of raw cotton and 78,000 pounds -of waste Imported in 1S93. valued at less than $5,000,000. APPOMATTOX. Reflections on the Occasion of the Recent Confederate Reunion. . New Orleans Times-Democrat. When on that April morning 3S years ago General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant, a great Issue was decided. For four years Federal and Confederate had contended In the hot con flict of war. Eich side had spoken Its mind from the cannon's mouth. The declama tion was vociferous, the rhetoric magnifi cent, the argument conclusive. And when the footsore Confederate soldier, button ing his parole In his faded gray jacket, as the son of a Confederate has pictured him, "surrendered his gun. wrung the hands of his comrades in silence and, lift ing his tear-stained and pallid face for tho last time to the graves that dot the old Virginia hills, began the slow and painful homeward Journey," he understood that the war was over, that the Union was pre served, that slaver was abolished and that the doctrine of 'States' sovereignty" could thenceforth have no place in the American policy. This, however, was not the complete significance of Appomattox. The surren der of that army the parole of that Con federate soldier meant more than the emancipation of a race more than the po litical welding together of separate and individual sovereign states. It meant that a new opportunity was presented to the American people. DEFENDS THE COLLEGE MAN President Jnmes Holds His Devotion to Commercialism Is "Waning. CHICAGO, June 15. "I have known hundreds of college graduates and knew no more than five or six of the number who ever regretted having gone to col lege." said President Edmund James, of Northwestern University, in a farewell address to the graduating class yesterday afternoon. "We Americans are mora and more inclined to poke fun at the college graduate at the serious way In which he takes his college course and his gradu ating. We have been even advised to give these graduating exercises up. But I have no patience with those people. I have always felt thar these college grad uating exercises are external signs to mark an important phase of life. "College men of the present day have been accused of not having the lofty alms of the college men of 25 years ago. It Is often said that theyljow View everything from a money standpoint. I wish to take exception to this. The spirit of America Is commercialism, and the college shares in the spirit, but I believe we are gradu ally slipping away from the commercial ideal." AVhoopin?

Saylor had ELECTED SCHOOL DIRECTOR FOR FOURTH TIME RICHARD been under suspicion almost since the i night of the wreck, and, after being close ly questioned, was placed under arrest, brought to Portland and locked up In the County Jail. After cross-examination the prisoner finally broke down and admitted his guilt. Saylor stated to the officer that he put spikes on the rails, which he picked up along the track, and then hid in the vi cinity to see what would happen. He had no reason, ho said, for doing what he did. and was guided merely by impulse. Tho crew and passengers on the train had a miraculous escape. The train was running at a speed of 35 miles an hour, and was in charge of Engineer John A. Christians. The engine left the track and plunged Into tho Columbia River. Saylor has resided at Latourell for some time with his mother and his brother, P. W. Saylor. Tho prisoner has worked In the lumber mills and at cutting cord wood Attorney George W.

Norman Saylor took a graphophone with him and returned home In the company of William Maffett, James Duffy, Henry Bell and others. Mr. Joseph himself was a passenger on the train, and did not ap preciate the scare and shaking up he received, but he says he does not believe Saylor lis guilty. NICOLAI TRIAL DELAYED. Attorney Lord Defeated in Pressing ?5O,000 Damage Salt. The request made In the State Circuit Court yesterday by Attorney Charles F. Lord, to have the suit of John A. Davis against his mother-in-law. Mrs. Hannah Nlcolal, for 550,000 damages, set down for trial, was successfully opposed by Attor ney O. F. Paxton, for the defense. Davis wants damages because he says Mrs. Nlcolal alienated his wife's affections from him, and caused her to leave him. Mr. Paxton said that he was not pre pared to go trial because Mrs. Nicola! and her daughter, Mrs. Davis, are both in California. He also said that it is neces sary for him to obtain depositions' of wit nesses who are now In Arizona. Mr. Lord Insisted that his client de manded a trial as soon as possible, and eald Mrs. Nicolai and Mrs. Davis could be notified to come here from California' and could arrive In a few days.

Articles of Incorporation Filed Capital Stock. $10,000.

X-Rays A Theory. M. Blondelot is said lo have discovered that, after all, the X-rays are only one of tho finer kinds of ordinary light, con sisting of rays that have such short vibra tions that they easily traverse objects Im permeable to rays of larger amplitude of vibration. Of the rays emanating from tho sun only a small percentage are vis ible to the eye are light in the ordinary sense of the word. The red ray at one end of the spectrum consists of comparatively long vibrations. Violet at the other end of the spectrum consists of much shorter vibrations. But beyond the violet are hundreds of other rays consisting of vi brations which are shorter and shorter as the distance from the violet Increases. Some have such short vibrations that they differ little from a straight line, and these are the X-rays. As they move for ward with little or no lateral motion some of them can pass between the atoms of obstacles they encounter, where as a red ray is stopped as a reindeer would be if he tried to run through woods where the trees stand thick. Such is the theory which accounts for the power of certain rays to traverse various thick nesses of metal, wood, leather, bone, flesh, etc ALL ON THE EAST SIDE NEW CAR. LINE WILL SHORTEN TRIP TO ALB IN A. Portland -Railway's Union-Avenue Extension Heavy Ralls to Be Laid ,oh Sannyalde Breach. When the Portland Railway Company completes Us Alblna extension through Multnomah Addition, from tha intersec tion of Russell street and Union avenue. It will then be possible to travel from East Portland to Alblna without being compelled to take a long ride around on the West Side. This extension on Union avenue will pass down Russell street to Commercial, north on Commercial to to Shaver and thenco to Maryland ave nue. As It connects with the Union-avenue line, there will be a continuous lino on the East Side north from East Burn side street Cn the Alblna extension poles have been planted and Iron distrib uted along the route. This branch will not be built beyond Maryland avenua this yeir, but no doubt It will reach St. Johns some time In the future. For the Sunnyslde branch the company has distributed Iron out to East Twen tieth and East Alder streets for double tracks. The rails for this branch are 60 feet long and weigh 6S pounds, the heav iest that have yet been delivered for any East Side extension. Owing to the oppo sition on East Taylor, the tracks will be aid on East Salmon street through Sun nyslde. but how far cast it will be ex tended Is not known. The people of South Mount Tabor are hoping the Portland Railway Company will extend "this line Into that territory, as they have about given up hope of getting car service from the otner companies. NEW HIGHLAND SCHOOL. Improvement Over Others Enough Children to Fill It. The new schoolhouse at Highland will be an Improvement over the other mod ern buildings erected by the district dur- ng the past few years. The contractor Is pushing work. He has the foundation completed and the frame nearly up. Prin clpal J. H. Stanley thinks in the matter of light and ventilation the Highland will be the finest schoolhouse In the city. The basement walls, are higher above the ground, and It will be as well lighted as the classrooms, which is not the case with the basements of the other buildings. Also the lighting and ventilation of the classrooms will be as near perfection as possible. There will be 14 rooms . besides the fine assembly hall. Owing to the start that has been made before the vacation, It is expected that this building will be completed by the Fall term. Mr. Stanley says that unless It Is finished about 100 pupils will not bo able to start to school at the opening. There Is a constant growth in the portion of the district tributary to the Highland School. New houses are springing up and families are moving tnere, so that the 14 rooms of the new building will probably all be occupied either at the opening of the year or soon thereafter. At the Stephens School the walls for the basement are completed and some ma terial Is on the ground for the woodwork. For the addition to the North Central the excavating for the foundation Is under way. There was some delay In getting ttarted. Brick for the basement walls have been delivered. Both additions will probably be 'completed In time for the opening In the Fall. Commission in Charge. The Park Commission has taken charge of Hawthorne Park, and yesterday started the work of renovation. The grass was over a foot in depth, and it Is being mowed. The park Is In good condition and is a most beautiful resort, which will be appreciated by the people of Central East Portland. It is divided by Asylum Creek, over which a picturesque bridge for pedestrians has been built. There Is a dam across the creek at East Taylor ttreet, which collects the clear, cold water from the spring at the head of the creek. which flows hundreds of thousands of gal Ions every day. There Is another spring here which furnished East Portland with water In Its early days. . Tho combined flow from these springs Is said to be fully 1.000,000 gallons per day. Between "Asylum Creek and East Twelfth street Is the main portion of the park. It is mostly covered with shade trees, but a portion Is open ground. To the park there will be several entrances, It may be reached from Hawthorne ave nue, Belmont and East Twelfth streets. In the center, where there Is a large clear space, well sheltered, there Is an old plat form and an abundance of benches. On hot Summer day the park Is an Ideal place. By next Sunday it will probably be ready for the public. Colombia University Cloniner. Columbia University, at University Park, will close Its first year next Thurs day, June 18. Under the direction of Rev, A. M. Quinlan, C. S. C, it has had a year cf successful work, the enrollment students reaching 90. A large percentage of the students Is expected back Septem bcr 7, and the increase In attendance will be about 60 per cent. There will be no formal commencement exercises this year. Ihe members of the Christie Literary So clety are spending their surplus funds on lawn socials. The baseball team has made an excellent reputation. Its members are composed of students who passed high In till their examinations. Fifteen sisters will arrive in July to have charge of tho household work and student infirmary and the new convent will be ready for them by that time. Many improvements will be made during vacation.
