SHOWS BIRDS AND BEASTS
During J 8-Year Struggle for
Fame He Has Gathered
Best Collection in
America.
After demonstrating to the satisfac
tion of all concerned that an Oregon
man raised on au Oregon farm can
succeed in almost anything he tackles
out in the big world, Homer Daven
port is home in Portland again.
Everybody who reads newspapers
knows Homer Davenport. His car
toons have amused and interested and
possibly inflnenoed us all. His car
toons of men have made them famou.0"
or infamous in' some cases, and some
or dib ara wings on questions o f na
tional import have had a direct in
fluence upon their settlement or ad

world's greatest cartoonist today, only
a trifle more than 18 years ago he was
a farmer boy at Silverton, Or., where
lie secured ms nrst arc education by
drawing piotures on the old stable
door.
Strange as it may seem, Mr. Daven
port has ,had time during these 18
years sinoe he has been struggling for
fame, to make the greatest collection
of b irda and domesticated animals in
Amerioa. It was the early influences
of the farm, no doubt, that gave him
his passion for birds and animals. He
has searched the four quarters of the
globe for his collection, and now that
he is back, he has brought the birds
and animals with him.
Mr. Davenport and his pets are to
be at the Lewis and Olark Exposition.
When ha learned that Oregon was giv
ing a great world's fair he at once
volunteered his servioes, and the re
sult is that he has several acres at the

to aiiow any or these precious steeds

port farm at Morris Plains, N. J. At
that place the animals have been vis

Mr. Davenport's guests. His depart
ure for Portland last week was the oc
casion of big barbecue, at which many
of the best known writers, editors,
aotors and politicians were present.
Further interest in the bringing of
the famous collection in tha T

on back hereof, which are hereby agreed to.
Boston, May 11, 1905
To Mr. Editor:
Twelve months ago I made to the American people in the
"Foreword" of my story, "Frenzied Finance," a promise
to expose the operations of the most nefarious and des- '
tructive band of brigands this or any other country has
been oppressed, with.
The "System" met my promises with ridicule, and
their hirelings from one end of the land to the other
chorused, "He will never dare tell."-
In the June number of Everybody's Magazine, published
on the 20th of May, I tell the fi
gamated in a double chapter of 24,000 words. I give in a
brick-and-mortar style the details of this 'act by which the
American people were robbed of $36,000,000 through "the
agency of the biggest national bank in America, the Nation
al City ("Standard Oil") Bank of New York.
I feel and I think you will agree with me when you
have read what I tell that it is of vitar importance' to
the whole American people that they-every man, woman-and
child know the facts I expose.
So far I have given a year of my time and some
$600,000 of my money to get my message to the Amorican
people, and I would ask if, because of this fact and the
further one that I seek nothing in return for my work (for
I have nothing to sell and no office or other thing' to ask
of the American people), you cannot see it in the light 'of
a public duty to do all in your power to get the June
vxpucx wx my boury uu me people or your communitv. Tf
