Armed only with a small whip, Roth crowds his way among the snarling, ferocious beasts and in a fearless manner institutes some of the most thrilling spectacles ever witnessed. Mounting the entire number into ovramids and piles on the floor, the trainer sits and lies on the topmost and fiercest one. Placing his head in the mouth of another and feeding the man-eater raw meat from his lips is Dart of the trainer's work. The act ends with the lions doing a free-for-all hurdle race around the arena. Other thrilling wild animal acts are presented by Martha Florine, who ap- oears with a largo number of leopards, jaguars and pumas a mixed group and one of the hardest to control.

REUNION OF ALL STATES TO BE HELD N. E. A. Portland, Juno 25. (Special) Fri day, June 1st, was the date of an ox citing mock race for the land office pulled off in Portland by the Federa tion of State Societies of Oregon. The goal of the race was the scenic Washington park.

Mr. Peters as a miner, is no strang er to this part, for as a youth he worked both in the gold fields of Australia and the diamond mines of Africa, and his first appearance on any stage was made at a benefit in a small Australian mining town. .The story of "The Lonesome Chap" is out of the ordinary and has to do with the solitary life and the lost love of a wealthy young miner.

By the close of the day, representatives of practically every state in the Union had secured their place from which refreshments are to be served, and greetings tendered to the visiting teachers from the re spective states. "The Nation's Grand Reunion?' is the name given to this unique recep tion. No previous convention city has had its population grouped according to the nativity of its people. Few states excepting those in the far West could do this in the very nature of the case, for it has been westward that the "tide of empire has "winged its way." Airrangoments are being made to accommodate a crowd of 10,000 in the park on "Reunion" afternoon. The state headquarters are so located that the crowds may go from state to state to meet people from "back home." As many Oregon residents have spent several years in from one to four or five states other than Ore gon, and as many teachers have taught and made friends in many dif ferent states, there will be a lively movement from state to state during tho afternoon. Cars to this gather ing will be routed around Council (Jrest. Picked Up By The Stroller Did you ever see a red, cross baby ? Last Thursday was the longest day in the year.
