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

PORTLAND TO HOLD
ANNUAL BUYERS' WEEK
Portland, June 23. (Special)
Portland merchants are making un
usual preparations for the 6th An
nual Buyer week which is to be held
in that city, August o-n.
nr- io on oflTnrt t.hnt is ireirarded with
unusual interest by the merchants of
the Northwest because of the oppor
tunity that it gives them to become
personally acquainted with the whole
salers and jobbing houses with whom
fJioff onrrv Recounts, to insoect the
greatest stocks of goods in the North
west, and to keep thoix local mercnan
dising affairs abreast of the times. It
is a great big co-operative plan that
fits the needs of both the retailer and
the jobber. .
Buyers week has been steadily
growing in Portland and each yenr
more of the merchants ot tne state
nt.fonil. Mnnv of them take thefr
families and while in Portland are ex
tended an unusual amount of hos
pitality. The program of events for this year
has not been fully worked out, but
the merchants of Portland are an
nouncing their intention of making it
the best and biggest affair they have
ever tendered their out of town cus-
tAmura
As usual. Portland will this year
refund railroad fares to every mer
chant who purchases goods amounting

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

The goal of the race was the scenic
Washington park. Tho claims to be
taken were the most suitable loca

but his splendid dramatic ability as
well.
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. How a
great happiness comes into his life

vention of the National Education
association. 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
