When President Taft visits the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position and after tomorrow the United States Government build ings will remain closed to the public until the President views Various exhibits. President Taft will no doubt visit the main government build ing first After he finishes his Inspection of the exhibits gath ered there he will proceed across the street to the Alaska build ing. After his departure the main building will be opened to the exposition crowds. This program will be followed out in the Alaska,. Hawaiian and Phil Ippine buildings. The Philippine Constabulary Band, one of the' President's favorite military organization, will head the Taft Day parade over the exposition grounds, When the President reaches tne fair he will be greeted by the eighty-four musicians who play ed for the President while he wa3 territorial govenor of the Philippines. Many favorite selections of the President wil be played. President Taft will find, the government buildings beautifully illuminated. Additional appro priation has made it possible to light thejbig dome, which is the artechitectural climax of the fair. Representatives of the United States government say it .would be impossible for the President to view the exhibits should the buildings at the fair be open to the crowds at the time he will be there. The aisles would be- -80 crowded with the curious and those desiring . to be near the President that he would find it difficult to make his way through the throngs. ' v The President will be closely guarded while at the fair. During his trip about the grounds the city police, exposi tion guards and the government detectives with the presidential party will be near the nation's ' chief executive to see that his visit is not marred by any un pleasant happenings. "Before Medford can realize its ultimate destiny,' says the Southern Oregonian, "railroads must be constructed to the tim ber, to the mines and to the coatt" Other towns than Med ford are in the same frame of mind, and capital is going to be encouraged to build them. Tillamook county to the front. The sound of progress has smote Upon her ears and $90,000 has been and will be expended on roads this year. This and ten times more can be levied on the tax-shrinking timber barons without punishing home builders for their industry or business ' men for their enterprise. - Says the Gresham Beaver State Herald: Every town of 500 inhabitants or over should have proper and strict regula tion in reterence to the condi tions that determine the health- fulness of its citizens. Whether these conditions are agreeable to every one in town is not essen tial, "In fact, it were , better that some were not entirely sat isfied." Astoria has one sawmill with a payroll of spib.uuu a montn, and there are several others. Its manufacturing industries are constantly increasing, and that is why its hillsides are becoming valuable Peome must live on the land in Astoria, and the hill sides offer beautiful residence sites for those who labor and build homes. Manufacturing and shinning industries make goat pasture worth millions. Ernest K. Woods and Winona Pearl Logan were married at the bride's home in Kings Valley at high noon Thursday, Sept. 23, 1909, by Rev. J. L. Burns. Miss Logan is the accomplished daughter of J. P. Logan, es teemed miller of Kings Valley Mr. Woods is a school teacher of whom Benton county may well be proud. The ring ceremony was used, The bride was attired in cream silk, carrying a bouquet of pink carnations, and the groom wore the conventional black. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers. After the ceremony the guests gathered around the dining room table which was groaning with good things to be eaten. There were many beautiful andusefu presents presented to the happy couple. Those present were Dick Dunn, Pres. Price, Mrs; Winnie Town send, Mr. and Mrs. Will Horning, Mrs. Ollie Alcorn, Mrl and Mrs. J. y. 'Kodgers, Mrs. Hess and niece, ' C. W. Woods, f Mr. - and Mrs. J. P.

' I "Have a purpose in life" it seemed to , ' say. . , '. . The wheel running round and round, Grinding-ehops, graham and flour by the pound; "Have a purpose in life" said the wheel to the journal, As the rolls smashed and ground the kernels. The jolly miller was whistling overhead ' As he sacked the " flour to make the . bread; Calves and pigs must be fed every day, "For life has a ; purpose" Ernest , heard him say. ' Arising, the teacher scratched his puz- zled head, As he Jthought of the .. ways 1 road led; v life'; That miller's daughter might , be the wife of this man, If he. only had a purpose and a plan. The purpose was formed, the plan laid To own a life interest in this fair maid Over to the house his long legs -sped, Winnie never dreaming of the mis chief in his head. School is finished; Summer is o'er, . The old mill stands still on the Luckia mute shore; Ernest and Winnie stand before us as one, . " For the parson holds the paper by ';; which it was done.

MARRIED TT 1 T THE BOOST ER GIRLS WILL SIEE More About the California Trip to be Taken By Newspaper Party. 1 After spending some time at San Francisco, Berkeley, Monte rey, Santa Cruz, Hotel Delmonte, the twelve Oregon Booster Girls, sent south for a two weeks', trip by the Gazette-Times, - Albany Herald, Salem Statesman, Poul try Journal and other papers, will go on the famous . Seventeen Mile Drive Deep in the pines, at Pacific Grove; is one end of the seven; teen mile drive, the one thing that more than any other spells Monterey in the memory of the visitor who has had the experi ence. For there are few such drives in the world. It is per fectly macadamized for its entire .ength and there is only enough grade to add occasionally the charm of suspense 'to the royal views that expand as one ascends gently to the succeeding prom ontories. Leading out of the solemn shadows of the pines the road runs down to Point Pinas, where an old lighthouse .sends its faithful warning across the water. Beach ensues upon beach, all different, soft with rich yellow sand or brillian with polished pebbles, or thick with a heavy olive-brown moss, but all sloping gently , into that wonderful water whose color is beyond word-painting, or ,;- any painting for that matter. Out of this glorious sea with its pea cock blues and greens, its purple and its crests of snowy foam, ift the dove-colored cliffs that furnish a soft note in this crash of color; in their seams cling plant covered with ' - rose-pink blossoms. - " . Century Old Cypresses. Above them, strange myster ious, as though under the spell of a thousand years' enchant ment, stand the Monterey cypresses, numbered among the marvels of the world. They are knarled and bent and twisted into fantastic, even tortured shapes, testifying perhaps, o: some unrecorded, yesterdays , in the youth of the world when the sea breeze, not kindly ; as today, wrestled with these trees, and lost. Above ; their pale-grey trunks they lift crests as deeply green as canyon moss, with stems as red as iron rust flashing through the green. Nowhere else in America are these trees found, but they are among the glories of Japan, and the Hebrew poets knew them as the cedars of Lebanon. Drive to be Taken by Moonlight. Through groves of these be witched trees the seventeen mile drive leads on, now turn ing at just the right angle to put some magnificent specimens of these wonder trees in silhou ette against the shining sea now plunging into the forest until the surf is a faint murmur in the distance, . then 1 swiftly seeking again the rainbow cliffs and surges. Think of such place by moonlight, for the drive will be taken by the Booster Girls party in the late evening. The colors are gone,' but their ghosts wander everywhere under the moon. There are deer in these woods and curious cattle, half buffalo, are grazing in the pastures near the ocean. Truly, a wonderful place, , unsurpassed for beauty. The balanced the stops of the Gazette-Time's party will be published in a near issue. - BOYS! GIRLS! r Columbia Bicycle Free! Greatest offer out.

Pickering, di rector of the Harvard college observa tory at Cambridge, Mass., says that science does not care whether 'Peary or Cook actually reached the pole it self and suggests using the north pole as- a United States weather bureau. Professor Pickering says: - Whether both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook have actually stood on the spot that represents the northern end of the earth's axis Is of no real importance to science. With the In struments they carried the best that could be expected is that they have been approximately at the north pole or, say, a mile Or so from the spot. "The delicate observations and cal culations necessary to determine the exact position of the pole can never be made until a meteorological station of some sort is established near the pole. and I think the United States govern ment could best take full advantage of the splendid work of these two ex plorers by sending up into the north a floating meteorological station aboard ship' equipped like Nansen's Fram that could enter the arctic ice pack and in three years drift across the region. while a body of scientists on board made the observations and collected data. . r More than tub, I think that now that , the public interest is aroused it would-be well to remember that the United States government could keep floating station of the weather bu reau always in tne polar region oy sending two or three ships out at in tervals of a year or so in order that as one ship was drifting away from the top of the world another would be ap proaching it" IN VERRAZZANO'S MEMORY. Will Erect Statue to Italian Said to Have Seen Hudson River First. Ground was recently broken in Bat tery park. New York, for the founda tion for a monument to-Giovanni da Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who is credited by Italians the world over with . having discovered the Hudson river nearly a century before Henry Hudson. Preceded by a band, a committee of Italians paraded down Broadway and marched to the place selected for the statue. ' Here they were met by Chev alier Charles Barsotti president of the committee, and Ettore Xlmenes, who designed the bust . After the band had played the Italian national hymn Chev alier itarsora saia in pan: It affords me , pleasure to break the ground for a monument to the memory ot Giovanni da Verrazzano. who was the real discoverer of the Hudson river. The ground on which this monument is to be erected is doubtless the same over which Verrazzano trod in 1524. After the discovery by Columbus ot America to 1492 the Cabots surveyed the coast of the new world, but in 1524 Ver razzano. came to New- York and saw the Hudson river. The Hew Tors: Geograph ical society has a copper globe of the earth made in 1547, which shows the Hud son river and the lands adjacent labeled Verrazzano. or New Gallia." This globe was discovered in an old Spanish con vent, and its authenticity is undoubted. Data now in the possession of the New York Geographical society prove conclu sively . that Verrazzano discovered the Hudson river eighty-four years before the arrival of the man whose name the river now bears. , : The statue is now in the mold at the BertlUl Roman Bronze works at Green- point N. Y. It is said to be a fine rep resentation of the oil portrait of the discoverer. On Oct 6 it will be dedi cated with considerable pomp by the various Italian societies of New York. FLAG THAT PEARY NAILED. Made In Paterson, N. J., and Presented by the D. A. R. to Pole Finder. The silk flag "nailed to the north pole" by Commander Peary was made in Paterson. N. J., from a special weave by a local manufacturing com pany. It was made waterproof so that in the event of its being covered by snow and ice the colors would not run. . It; was on the occasion of Peary's visit to Paterson five years ago as the guest of Judge Scott that the Daughters of the American Revo lution became interested 'in a move--menfrto donate an American silk flag to him.. 1 The flag is not large, but it is of the finest texture, and it was woven so that it . could be rolled into ' a . very small space. The weaving of the flag caused some curiosity in silk circles, at the time, but the probable use of it was , not revealed until it was com pleted and turned over to the Daugh ters xt the American' Revolution.. It was presented to Peary on behalf of the society by the president general, Mrs. Donald McLean. Commander Peary in thanking the daughters for the flag expressed con fidence in the success of his next trip to the frozen regions r and assured them that the flag would be raised over the northern extremity of the earth's axis. . - .. . , Punch Bowl Full of Dollars. ' ' - Favorable comment Is made at the navy department on a suggestion made by, a citizen of Detroit concerning the use of the silver punch bowl which is to be presented by the state of Michi gan to the new battleship of that name. The suggestion is that, instead of fill ing the bowl, with punch : or other liquor, it be filled with 1.000 silver dol lars, to be contributed annually by the citizens of Michigan', for division into purses for distribution as prizes to the men of the ship having the best rec ords at target practice, including all kinds of firing. - - Experiment For the Poor.
