Unique Memorial Completed

Mary Baker EJdy Memorial, Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mau
The beautiful memorial to Mary.
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science, has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board of Directors by Elbert 8. Bar
low of New York City, who held the
contract for its construction.
The memorial, which Is at Mt Au
burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass., has
required over a year nnd a half to
complete. Tlie fund for Its construction,
amounting to over $150,000, was first
announced by the directors In June, 1011,
and was soma time ago fully subscribed.
These contrlbutious have been made as
expressions of sentiment by Christian
Scientists throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial Is
located Is not only one of great nat
ural beauty, but on account of Its
grade has rendered possible a more
picturesque and Interesting treatment
architecturally Hum would be possible
on a perfect level lot. The plot, which
is approximately eighty feet square,
slopes gradually from the level of
the roadway to the lake with a drop
of about ten feet. The memorial con
sists of a circular open colonnade of
eight columns, resting upon a stylo
bate of three steps, surrounded on the
front by a circular platform slightly
above the natural grade, from which
platform a double flight of steps leads
- 'n or
to a lower platorm at the lake's edge.
The scheme has no prototype and Is
merely a screen of columns open to the
sky, Jucloslug a flower-grown circle. '
The material used for the memorial
Is Bethel white graulte, the inscrip
tion In the frieze and upon '
the pylons being of white I
deep into the stone work. '1
which on account of the si.
reproduction is only iiidlcut,
tlrely floral in form and free .
mcut, the wild rose and the in.
glory being used as the main mou.
It is interesting architecturally to note
that, while It is extremely free In treat
ment and not at all conventional, It Is
generally very classic In feeling. Tho
extreme width of the memorial Is nlwut
fifty feet, and the colonnade is eighteen
feet In diameter. The columns them
selves are fifteen feet In height and nic
similar in general character to those iu
the Clepsydra of Andrnnicus of c.yr.
rhus. The large pylons were exhibit
ed nt the American Institute of Archi
tecture in New, York a short time ngo
and experts pronounced them the finest
pieces of carved granite ever executed.
The architect Is Egorton Swart wnut
of New York City, who designed the
new George Washington memorial, the
new Missouri state capita-! aad the new
Federal building In Denver.

Voters of Oregon.
SUPPORT ROAD BONDS
AND GET CONSTRUCTION
Thompson Not a Candidate.
Pendleton, May 31. (Special) W.
X. Thompson will not be a candidate
for election as a school director on
June 18. He announced that, because
of the duties of highway commissioner
demanding so much of his time, he
could not possibly do justice to the
school work in the event of his elec
tion. Petitions had been prepared to
place him in nomination and these will
be withdrawn in conformance with his
wishes. '. .'
Discussing the $G,000,000 good roads
bond bill at the sUtte-wlde rally in
Portland, Governor Wltuycombe em
phatically indorsed the measure Iu the
following language:
"Tills is the greatest measure ever
contemplated by the State ot Oregon.
It means more to this State than any
measure in its history, not barring tho
Constitution, because the one thing we
need Is highways in Oregon.
"I have just returned from a trip
through the Interior country. When
you realize that great expanse of coun
try in the interior tho need of set
tlers, the need of men and women on
farms you appreciate the need of
' roads in that locality. Then go along
down through our beautiful Valley

consumption. Military necessity and
patriotic duty should make every voter
get out and vote for these bonds. Good
roads later may save Portland, and all
the State. We need and must have
good roads. They will add to the
wealth, thrift and happiness of our
people and our State. Tills measure
does not add one farthing tp our taxes;
1 It simply capitalizes waste. It is a
most splendid measure. No sane man
or woniaa should orfer a single word
of opposition to this movement.
"It is placed In the hands of three
as good business men as Oregon can
over boast of and Is properly safe
guarded in every way possible. It Is
a step In the right direction. Every
good citizen should take oft his cout
and work for this bond measure, with

citizen should keep his eont off until

measure means bo much to civilization
and the welfare of thlH great State."

THE FARMER.
Whoever could make two ours
of coin or two blades of grass
to grow upon a spot of ground
where only one grew beforo
would deserve better of mankind
nnd do more essential service to
the country than the whole race
of politicians put together. Jon

Within the laBt few days It has de
veloped that some of the largeBt In
terests of Oregon are opposing tho
road bonding act.
Their fear Is that construction of
highways will withdraw from the
labor market men who will be needed
for other occupations Incident to war
time operations.
Without questioning cither the pa
triotism or the wisdom of their atti
tude, there Is no doubt but that It will
have a big Influence In reducing the
vote of the road bonds.
It Is therefore squarely up to the
progressive citizens of Oregon who
want roads Improved to use every
atom of their energy to bring out tho
vote at the special election June 4.
