NEW ORLBAXS, June lC-General Joseph "Wheeler, in a letter to a friend in this city, under date of Juno 13, says: "I think that all the trouble to which you refer was caused by a fearfully false and slanderous publication which was sent in the form of a telegraphic dispatch from Atlanta, Ga,, to many prominent newspapers of the North. If I were alone concerned I would not notice at all, but the article is such a wicked slander upon every brave soldier at the reunion, that it ought to bo denied and denounced. The article untruthfully states; " The real reason why no provisions were made for him (General Wheeler) in the parade was because he appeared in the uniform of a Brigadier-General of the t'nlted States, and in consequence of be ing so clad he CWheeler) was treated with discourtesy and was rebuked by" a Con federate General, who asked him CWheeler). 'What do you think Generals Leo and Jackson would say to your ap pearing at a Confederate reunion in that unlfonnr that therefore he CWheeler) was deeply hurt and said he wore, the uni form to show the veterans that section alism was indeed over.' "Each of these statements is absolutely false. I did not have a vestige of any kind of uniform at New Orleans. Like nearly all Army officers, I havo never worn any uniform except when on duty."

ARTIST WINS A WAGER. Richard WarKeld "IVorlca His "Way Across Continent for $5000. Richard "Warfleld, an American artist, who haOlved much of his life in London, arlved in Portland yesterday $3000 better off than when he started across the con tinent from Boston, "broke" four months ago. About the middle of last February Mr. "Warfleld and a party of friends were seated in the Carlton Club, London, and the conversation touched upon national characteristics and such treatment as an artist would receive on a sketching tour. "Warfleld, who was born ln Virginia 40 years ago, made the statement that the American people are the most courteous of any nation In the world. Roderick Donald Cameron, a Scotchman, ridiculed the statement and "Warfleld followed It up by saying that it was his opinion that a man could make a trip across the United States with less than J3 In his pocket and meet with no discourteous treatment. The discussion waxed somewhat heated and finally a wager of 1000 was laid by Cam eron that the trip coula not be made under the circumstances stated. "War field's American friends promptly covered the bet and the terms wer drawn up In the presence of witnesses and the money deposited against the time of completion of trip and the umpiring committee's de cision aa to whether the terms had been carried out faithfully or not. The term: of the wager provided that "Warfleld should go from Southampton to Boston and that he should start from Boston westward with less than $5 in his pocket and no baggage. He must not borrow money or clothing, nor remain In one town longer than six days and 23 hours, excepting points where he found employment in art work. Under these circumstances he was to be allowed ten days to complete his pictures. He was not to seek nor. undertake any employment except the painting of pictures. Mr. "Warfleld reached Boston about the first of March and left there on March 5 with $3 in money and the clothing he had on his back and some artist's materials. He has made his way across the continent traveling at times by freight and passen ger trains, sometimes In the engine cab, at times by automobile, by carriage, saddle horse and on foot, and at length after many varied experiences he finds himself at his Journey's end in good health and high spirits. Nowhere did he meet with any but the most courteous treat ment, and he insists that the trip has. been a most enjoyable one. Before coming to Portland Mr. "Warfleld visited Everett, Seattle and Tacoma and comes here to complete the journey as be ing the principal city on the North Pacific Coast, and the most favorable objectivo point under the terms of the wager. "My experience has been altogether a delightful one," said Mr. "Warfleld to an Oregonlan reporter, "and I consider that I have complied with the agreement in ever particular. I have met many pleas ant people and have proved my contention beyond a peradventure and "believe that the umpiring committee in whose hands the money was placed will he satisfied in ever respect. "I'm sure the President on his recent tour could not have had a pleasanter trip and I am more than repaid for undertak ing such an unusual venture." DROWNING OUT FARMS. Hi Kb. "Water Becomes Serlons in Co lumbia Sloneli Bottoms. Residents on the Columbia bottom along Columbia Slough, are beginning to im agine that the rise of the Columbia has reached a stage high enough. The bottom is flooded except in a few places and they are beginning to be Inconvenienced by the water. Sportsmen who have preserves leased in that section aro becoming anx ious. Some of them were out Sunday to look over their places and found that all the broods of young Chinese pheasants, of which there were many, had been drowned and the old pheasants were perched in trees, looking very bedraggled and disconsolate. One farmer whose place had not been visited for two days found it all flooded, except a small place about the house, and his rather extensive flock of poultry nearly starved. He corralled them all in a bedroom, and, if the water gets much higher will have to carry them all off to high ground. At one farm fine fields of tall oats were nearly submerged, and the cows were gathered on a high spot in the barnyard, to which hay was being carried for them. The farmer was milking his cows from a boat. All residents of that section are in hopes that the water will begin to fall soon. Modern "Woodmen Meet. INDIANAPOLIS. June 16.

Eleven Architects and Scalptors Compete for Honor of Erecting Second Oregon Memorial. Preference was expressed, but a decisive vote was not taken for a design by Doug las Tllden, of Oakland, Cal., for the $15,- 000 monument to be erected to commem orate the valor of the Second Oregon Regiment la the Philippines. A meeting was called yesterday of tho general com mute in Adjutant-General Gantenbeln's office. Chamber of Commerce building. Nine members of the committee were present. H. "W. Scott being chairman. Eleven designs were submitted from dif ferent architects, but the two that at tracted the most notice were by Douglas Tllden, of Oakland, Cal., and Otto Schu mann, of this city. It was explained that the meeting had been called to guide the subcommittee on design, and that definite action would not be taken until this sub committee had reported to a future meet ing of the general committee. A general conversation ensued, in which each de sign submitted was carefully examined. In order to determine which one design was worth the $1000 offered for the work. Of these the most imposing was Mr. Til den's. A plaster model of his design was exhibited in the center of the room, with a number of cannon fronting the outer edge, steps and shaft of granite, and the bronze figure of a soldier dressed in the familiar uniform of the Second Oregon, grasping a Krag-Jorgenson. "That Is the most original design, it seems to me," remarked Colonel James Jackson, pointing to the Tllden model. "It does not. have a base, and the shaft probably is not long enough. Besides, the shaft ought to contain the names of the Second Oregon soldiers killed In the Philippines, and the names of the battle in which the regiment engaged," remarked General Summers, casting an approving look on the Schumann design. "That is a matter of detail that Mr. Tilden can easily settle," said Colonel Jackson. At this stage H. C. Campbell had to leave the meeting to attend to an other engagement, and he obtained per mission from the meeting that, in case a vote was reached, that his vote would be recorded for tho Tllden design. Colonel Jackson said he thought the Schumann de sign arranged for a composite monument. "I think we .should adopt the design Mr. Schumann has submitted," said General Summers. At this, point. Rev. "W. S. Gil bert said that his understanding of the matter was that no definite choice of any design should be made until the subcom mittee on design made its report to the general committee. On the motion of General Summers, it was decided that the general committee proceed to ballot to declare Its preference for one design. Rev. "W. S. Gilbert stating that he did not pre fer to vote at present. In the ballot that was taken the Tildea design received five votes and the Schumann design three. General Summers thought that the sub committee ought to communicate with Mr. Tllden as to a base for the monu ment and any other changes they might wish to havo effected, such as the names of the soldier dead and the battles. The Tilden design shows an exceedingly graceful shaft and figure, the total height in all being about 29 feet. The monument selection now goes for consideration be fore the subcommittee on design, which meets this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Adjutant-General Gantenbeln's office. As for the other designs submitted, O. J. Thomas, architect and sculptor, of Fern Hill, Clatsop County, presented a model in plaster. It is in shape an ob long pedestal of hammered and polished granite in two shades, on three steps, with the list of names of the soldiers who were killed or died in the Philippines engraved on one side, and on the other a list of the battles in which the Oregon Volunteers participated. From this rises a short shaft surmounted by the figure of a sol dier defending the flag with a revolver. From the base to the top of the flag is 33 feet on the monument. Bronze eagles are placed at the base of the shaft on each side of the pedestal, and on the sides of the oblong shaft are the coats of arms of the United States and State of Oregon. On the base of the-Hhaft is engraved: "Ever ready la .defense of home and country." A design in the form of a drawing was presented by the Northwest Granite Com pany, of Baker City. A square base of two steps, on which is a pedestal, sur mounted by a shaft, on which is a flguro of a soldier.

The base is in the form of a cross, with four prnamental buttresses supporting a shaft 43 feet in height, surmounted by the figure of a soldier in action eight feet high in bronze kahkl. In panels between the buttresses are spaces for the list of names of the soldiers who were killed or died in the Philippines.

When a youngster I., like the lad mentioned, was somewhat of a numismatist and philetallst, and among my collection I had a "flp" and a "bit." These were two distinct pieces, ono of the value of .06, being the "flp," or the old Spanish "medio reale" of Caro lus II; and the "bit" of the value of 124 cents, being the old "reale" piece. The expression "fllpennyblt" mentioned prob ably relates to one formerly used In Pennsylvania, "a flp and a bit," when an article was priced between 15 and 20 cents. CHARLES S.
