have been made to eocuro special
appropriations for the purpose' of
making the improvements, but so
far only a small : sum lias been

vision ot commandant Starmer,
however, work is now In progress
that will make the cemetery one of
the most beautiful in southern Ore

for future Interments. The plot

curbs havo been built along the
ilrlvoways, and in the fall the en

floeded. Gravestonos are on hand
and are being carved, and all
stones will be reset and allnged,
giving a perfect uniform appear
ance over the entire plot. An irri
gation system has been installed so
that the tract can be kept green at
nil times, and will be maintained In
a careful manner. Beside each
stone will bo placed a perrenial
blooming flower so that the combi
nation of green lawn and bright
blossoms, with ' borders of ever
green shrubs will make the ceme
tery very beautiful.
Parks Improved
At tho same time the park near
the cemetery is also being im
proved. Tills park is formed chiefly
by one of the largest maple trees
In Douglas county. This great tree
with its branches that droop to tho
ground, forms a 'canopy under
w hich 300 or 400 people may easily
be sented. The tree is very near
tho banks of the river and is In the
midst of smaller trees, so that a
cool, shady spot Is provided for
any out-of-doors gathering. Com
mandant Starmer Is having the
i park cleared and leveled, so that
more space will be made available,
and a better view of the river pro

NEW YOKK, June 18. You can
take a true Hoosier far from his
native state, bury him In the
anonymity of newspaper editorial
writing and turn htm into a schol
arly, retiring historian; but sooner
or Inter he will turn back to the
only pursuit a real Hoosier . ever
enjoys politics.
That's what happened in the
case of Claude G. Bowers, anyway.
Bowers, born and bred in Indiana,
moved to New York five years ago
to become an editorial writer for
the New York Evening World. In
his spare time lie studied and
wrote history. But 'last winter he
plopped back into politics so zest
fully that he was at once chosen
to deliver the keynote speech at
the coming democratic convention
in Houston, Texas.
It all happened because Bowers
was invited to address last Janu
ary's Jackson day dinner In Wash
ington. This Is a traditional love
feast of the democrat:), marked in
recent years by a noiable absence
of love. Bowers had written ab
sorbing biographies of such demtH
cratfc heroes us Andrew Jackson
and Thomas TofferKon, and through
some happy inspiration" tho com
mlttee asked him to speak.
Electrified Part
Bowers did. He urged his
hearers to make Jackson and Jef
ferson something moie than mm a
patron saints of iho party, con
trasted conditions m their ,ras
with conditions today and, before
he had finished, aroused the dem
ocratic chieftains to real enthusi
asm. A man who could ' do thai
seemed worth keopii.g; so Bowers,
by general consent, was chosen to
do the keynoting t?t Houston.
To most of iho country, thus
far, he has bona just a name.
When Ills election as keynoter .was
announced, the rank and . file of
the democracy murmured, "And
who the dickens is he " After he
delivers his speech at Houston.
however, It is a safe bet that he
will be a national figure.
Bowers was born In Hamilton
county, Indiana, in November of
1878. As a young man he entered
newspaper work, serving his ap
prenticeship on the old Indianapo
lis Sentinel. This, it might be

CHICAGO, June 21. The world's

fight, which In billed lo so ten

to attract from 80,000 to 40,000
fans, and probably the largest gate
receipts In the history of the mid

It will be Hudkins' first shot at
a boxing title In the eight years ot

was radiant with confidence.
Walker, too, was confident, in top

Attracted by the punching power

study or the life history mill habits
of the apple maggot by Dr. II. A.
Porter of tho United States Depart

but that It may become injurious

of the Insect, which Is similar to
other well known "fruit flies," has
been particularly difficult becauao
tho Insect' does not behave normal

tomologists uso , In , studying the
habits of many ItiBectB, Field obser
