WHOLE STATE
Oregon Educational Work at
the Exposition.
PLEASES EASTERN PEOPLE
Exhibits From Schools of
Clackamas County and
Oregon City Are
Meritorious.
Special Correspondence
PORTLAND, Aug. 9. -Oregon has
an educational showing at the Fair
that, alreaady has done a great deal to
oonvinoe Eastern isitors that the
hostess state can offer prospective Bet
tiers unsurpassed educational condi
tions. With the exception of Jackson,
Johnson, Curry, Klamath and Jose
phine couuties, every county in tlin
state is represented in the educational
showing.
( The gallery of theOrieutal Exhibits
building has been givou over to educa
tional exhibits, and Oregon occupies
nearly half the space. The state's ex
hibits extend aoross the south end of
of the gallery and along nearly the
whole east wall. Their popularity is
attested by the large numbers of peo
ple who visit the gallery daily.
Easterners have been much inter
ested in a large ninp of Orogou, done
by the pupils of Miss Porter's Ninth B
grade in the Failing school, on which
the industries ohaiacteristic of each
oounty are pictured by typical scenes.
Oregon City and the country schools
of Clackamas county, Eugene aud the
schools of the outlying districts of
Lane county, Pendleton and the Uma
tilla county sohools, are all oreditably
represented. Sherman and Gilliam
couuties each have a case of exhibits,
and Douglas, Tillamook, Benton,
Union and Clatsop also are creditably
represented. Wallowa has an inter
esting showing, as have the schools of
Multnomah oounty outside of Port
land, while the manual training depart
ment of the Portland sohools has at
tracted much favorable comment.
In the exhibit of the stste normal
sohools, in a interesting labratory out
fit which can be made without ex
pense, the manual training work and
the topography maps are noteworthy.
The Indian basketry work and the
art showing are creditable, and the
photographs of school buildings and
campus scenes arid to the attractive
ness of the display.
A remarkablo collection of mounted
birds characteristic of the Northwest
forms perhaps the most interesting
feature of the showing of the Oregon
Agricultural College. Three of them,
labeled "Centennial Birds," have at
tracted much attention. One is the
Louisiana tanangor, and the other two
are the Lewis woodpecker and the
Clark nntoracker. Thoy were named
in honor of the Lewis and Clark ex
pedition, during the course of whioh
the birds werejlrst soon by white men,
The agricultural college shows the
results ot wood testings in connection
with the exhibit of the work of the
engineering department.
A model of the campus at Eugene,
made by students in the engineering
department, constitutes the most strik
ing display made by the state univer
sity. Four large show cases are do
voted to exhibiting a port of Dr.
Condon's famous oolloction of North
west fossils, and another case shows
specimons from the Thomas Howell
herbarium. Preparations made by the
classes in chemistry also are exhibited
and the mechanical engineering de
partment has an interesting showing.
Excellent framed photographs -f the
campus and college scenes add interest
to the exhibit.
Artistic neodlowork and really nior
itorious drawings and paintings are
among the interesting things whioh
arc iucludod Jin the exhibit niadj by
the Carbolic ; schools. St. Mary's
Academy at The Dalles, the Academy
of the Sacred Hoart, Salem ; St.
Mary's Academy and College, Port
land ; Academy of the Holy Name,
Portland ; Convent of the Holy Name,
Astoria, and St. John's School, Oro
gon City are Oregon institutions rep
resented in the exhibit.
There is a ro,-c room convonioutly
situated for the comfort of 'visitors to
Oregon's remarkable educational dis
plays, aud courteous attendants ex
plain the exhibits to people who are
interested in them. The Association
of Collogiate Alumnae has headquar

Mr. Spence lias Runaway.
Team belonging to Charles E.
Spence, of Cams, escaped from tho
feed stable Monday atternorn and ran
away. They were loft tied iu the
stable, attached to a light wagon, and
came flying up Main street, overturn
ing the t,wagon which was drugged
along on the bed. Passing the ollice
of H. E. Cross, they narrowly missed
colliding with two transfer wagons
that were standing there. A fleet
footed clerk in tho Harris grocery took
after the fleeing team as they passed
Eighth street and caught them. The
animals were not injured and little
omage was done to the wagon.

ANOTHER JURY
IS DISCHARGED
No Agreement Reached in
Land Fraud Cases.
THIRD TRIAL AUGUST 28
Vote Was Evenly Divided
R. W. Porter, of Cane
mah, Held Out For
Conviction.
After 30 ballots the jury in the case
of the government against Congress
man Williamson, Dr. Van Gesuer and
Commissioner Marion R. Biggs, were
unable to agree ami were discharged.
The vote was evenly divided, aud
among those voting for conviction
was R. W. Porter, a blacksmith of
Canemah. The jury was out 45 hours.
Upon motion of District Attorney
Heney the third trial of the case was
sot for August 28, aud United States
Judge W. H. Hunt, of Montana, will
try tho caso, other business requiring
the presence of Judgo DoHaveu iu San
Franoisoo.
The bono of contention seemed to
be in regard to the existence of a con
tract, and iu tho question of intention
ou tho part of the three defendants to
do wrong. It was argued by those
who wished to acquit that the evi
dence was insufficient to show beyoud
a reasonable doubt that a eoutraot had
been made, or that the men had en
tered deliberately into a scheme to
suborn the people taking the claims
for them. It was held by tlwse six
men that there was a strong possibil
ity that the defon ants had not in
tended to violate the law, aud there
fore, being of pure mind and without
desire to trangress the laws, they
should not be punished for a mistake
unwittingly made.
Harris Ridings Still at Large.
Harris Ridings, of Marquam, wanted
by the authorities of Morrow county
for horse stealing, was seen Saturday
afternoon by Dr. J. W. Thomas, of
Molalla, on the Molalla road, near
Frank Jaggar's plane at Cams. Hid
ings was walking toward Oregon City.
Dr. Thomas stopped at Muliuo and
telephoned to Constable Harry Trem
bath, who immediately secured a
buggy and took a spin out on the
road, but saw nothing of Ridings. The
Molalla mail stage passed Cams soon
after meeting Dr. Thomas, but Hid
ings had evidently disappeared in the
timber, and it is believed he is bound
for Eastern Clackamas. He may go
across the Columbia and go into Wash
ington, but his ultimate capture is
considerable probable.
VACANCIES IN CITY SCHOOLS.
Board of Directors May Elect Two
Teachers Next Monday.
Two vaeauoies exist in the Oregon
City public schools, ana these places
will probably be filled at the regular
meeting of the board of directors Mon
day evening, August 14. Miss Myrtle
Shoukwiler, who has taught here for
four years pust iu the fourth grado, has
resigned to take a position in the pub
lic sohools of Portland, and Miss Eva
Meldrum, a third grade teachor, has
applied for a year's leave of absence.
Miss Meldrum expects to spend a year
in higher educational study.
It is barely possible that a third va
cancy may occur at tho oponing of
school Soptember 25. Last yoar at the
beginning of the sohool days, the
rooms were found to be in snob a con
gested condition that the board en
gaged an additional teacher for the
year. When the teachers were elected
two months ago, this position was not
Ailed, aud will not be until it is
clearly determined that the attendance
will warrant it. As the school cen
sus 'shows that the number of pupils
of school age is a trilie more than last
yoar, it Booms probable that an addi
tional teacher will again be necessary.

IN MEMORY
OF BLACKMAR
Rev. H. B. Robins Delivers
El quent address.
SERVICES BY THE G. A. R.
Late Commander Was a Con
spicuous Example of Vet
eran Who Did His
Duty After War.
Services in memory of the late Qon
eral Wilmou W. Blackmar, 'commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army
of the Repulbio, were held Monday
night by Meade Post, G. A. K., and
Meade Relief Corps in Willamette
Hall. Previous to the services a bus
iness meeting of the Post was hold,
and appropriate resolutions were
adopted, and the charier was ordored
draped in mourning for 80 days.
Commandor James F, Nelson, of
Meade Post, made a few remarks
eulogistio of the departed chief, aud
Rev. Henry B. Robins, of the First
Baptist church, delivered the memor
ial address. He is a fluent aud elo
quent speaker and said in part:
"What 1 shall say will be with the
hope that you will not expect from
me an adequate portrayal or appreci
ation of the life of Wilmou W. Black
mar. His sudden death at Boise,
Idaho, on the Kith of last jtionth,
while enroute to the Northwest in
searoh of health, struck with Borrow
the hearts of all loyal citizens of our
country, aud particularly sad was it
to his oomradeB,
"Less than one short year he had
filled the otlioe of chief executive of
the Grand Army, but, though compar
itively unknown outside of his own
state of -Mabsaohasdtts up to that
time, he succeeded in capturing the
reBpeot and affection of the whole
Grand Army.
"The military record of General
Blackmar is one of whioh any veteran
might be proud. He enlisted in the
15th Pennsylvania Cavalry, with
whioh he served for more than two
years, during its connection with tho
Army of the Cumberland, At the end
of thiB poriod he reoelveft commis
sion as first lieutenant of the lm; West
Virginia Cavalry, to whioh regiment
he transferred his services. When
mustered out of that regiment as a
captain at the end of the war, he had
seen service in 22 battles, among them
being Antietam, Stone River, Chioka
mauga, Wauatchie, Chattanooga, the
Shenandoah Valley, Diuwiddie Court
house and Appomattox. General Ous
ter had him promoted for gallantry at
Five Forks, besides whioh lie resoivod.
a medal of honor.
'After the war General Blackmar
Bottled in Massachusetts, where lie stud
ied lawand speedily took a leading po
sition at the bar. For ten years he
served as judge advocate general on
the saff of the governor of Massachu
setts. He became affiliated with the
Grand Army early in its history, aud
had filled mout of tho olllces of the or
ganization. In 1902 he was oom
mander of the Dopartmout of Massa
chusetts G. A. R. In 11)04, at Boston,
he was elected cotnmandor-in-uhiuf of
the ordor by aoolamation.
"Thus for this man, who was a
comrade belcvod of his ordor, a true
soldier of the Nation, a faithful and
patriotic citizen of our country, and
at the hour of his death the tried and
trusted commandor-in-chief of tho
Grand Armv of the Republio tor this
man the light of life upon earth has
gone out, and over tho thousands of
Posts where meet the comrades of
the Grund Army, and ovor our hearts
as we assemble here, a shadow falls.
"But perhaps wo think less of our
own loss than the loss irreparable
which the wife of Uomrade Hlackmiir
has saffered. Our thought and sym
pathy go out to her iu this sad time
when the dopth of hor loss is perhaps
just coming wi'h full force upon hor.
Lot us hope that the sad blow may be
the means of bringing to hor the help
ful effusion of human sympathy and
Divine aid. We aro reminded by the
sudden departure of this comrade from
the ranks of tho Grand Army below
that before a groat many years tho
fast thinning ranks will disappear
and the last veteran of tho civil war
bo mustorod out. 1 do not speak of
this to cause an unwonted solemnity
ovor this assemblage, hut merely to
say that I believe that it is high time
that the yonngor generation awoke to
the fact that the veterans are passing
and pay them tho rospett that is their
duo.
"The civil war is over and we aro
living in tho midst of conditions
which your victory mado possible.
The America of today oonld never
have bocn but for the brave soldiers
of the Union. Tho America of today
is full ot possibilities, full of prom
ise but, gentlemen, tho America of
today is not perfect. We have yet to
learn to put tho professional ollice
seeker out und put the man of honor
in ; we have yet to loam that tho pur
ity or the individual life of a nation
is her only guarantee of perpetuity;
we have yet to loam how to . adjust
labor and capital ; we have yet to
learn" whether it is profitable to have
our boys sawed up into sidewalks and
milled into pavements for the simple
luxury of the high license which the
saloon pays ; we have yet to learn that
