Portland, Or?., May "A (Sinvlall Of remarkable KlnllKance to Oregon was the journey of 1-ouln W. Hill anil party through the luterlor of the state, when the Great Northern magnate covered l."(iO uilles by auto mobile. The remilu of tbU trip will be of great value to the utate. The Imprvwulona President 111)1 gained of the state are certain to bring treuien' dou boosts. "Oregon is a wonder ful state." declared Mr. Hill upon his return to Portland. "This is a state that will grow anythlug. My lui presntons of the trip would fill it book, but the one thing above all others U that the (Jreat Northern will assist In doubling the state's population In two years. And rail roads will le built In every direction. I see room fur many roads. The (Jreat Northern Is going to oien up Oregon ami I feel that the eople are with us. I never met more enthusl asm anywuere. I. very where we were welcomed iu a way that be- spoke genuine sympathy and deep enthusiasm. To say that the trip was a revelation Is putting It mild ly." Portland has now the biggest bank in the Pacific Northwest. The First National of this city has lately Increased its capital stock from f.00, 000 to f l.riofl.oon. The stock has all been subscribed and paid for and gives the bank a combined stock and surplus of $J,.P)00,000, the biggest in this corner of the I'nlted States. Queen Khododendra has ruled dur- lug the past week at Florence, Ore., where the anuual festival of flowers has been under way. The affair was very successful and inauy attended from Eugene and other points in the Willamette valley. The rhododendrons in the coast country were never more beautiful and the fete attracted much attention. After ten days ot campaigning for good roads in eastern Oregon, L. R. Webster and M. E. Eldredge, in charge of the work in this state, have returned to Portland, encour aged at the luterest shown In better highways. They visited ten counties and found local organizations busy in Improving existing conditions. Bumper crjps throughout the Wil lamette valley In hay, grains and fruits are reported. Vegetables of all kinds never looked better and the celebrated farming district where crops never fall will bear out this year Its established reputation. With its rich soli, widely diversified crops, and intelligent, industrious popula tion, the Willamette Is becoming a a vast garden, tremenduously rich In possibilities. An event of Interest to the whole state Is the quarter centennial jubilee of the Oregon Agricultural College, to be held on the college campus June 10-14. Seclal rates have been made by the railroads and there will be a great ingathering of graduates and friends of this Institution. Ore- gon owes a great debt of gratitude to a college that has done so much for the advancement and prosperity of the state. NORTHWEST NOTES From our Seattle correspondent. Seattle May .'tl The protection of the travelling public from disease by safe-guarding trains from Infec tion, regulating the travel of diseased persons, and scientific and unremitting sanitation In every phase of travel within the States, Is the plan evolved at a recent confer ence of health officers at Washing ton, I). C, aud Ir. Elmer E. Heg, State Health Commissioner of this state, has !een assigned the task of planning the work west of the Miss issippi River. l)r. Heg has just re turned from Washington and is ar ranging for a conference In Seattle, of health officials In Western States. The Methodist Ministers of Seattle at their last meeting passed a reso lution endorsing ecjual suffrage aud urging the passage of the amend ment to the constitution of the state of Washington, which comes Ix-fore the voUts In November. The women who are making an active campaign for the right to vote are one by one winning over the Influ ential organizations In their behalf. The Ful versify of Washington won the championship of the Pacific Coast from Stamford I'nlverslty In thernreon J-ake Washington May i'ith, aud the winners left Immediate ly to race against the I'nlverslty of Wisconsin eight at Madison on June 4th. The U-autlful aijuallc sport Is gaining many followers In the north west, aud the rating enthusiasts hope to Introduce It Into high schools and luto such colleges us have bodies of water near by where rowing can Is? enjoyed. An Important step toward pre serving the forests of the northwest from damaging fires, has Ihvu taken by the state fire wflrdeus of Wash ington, In orderiug all locomotives to use practical spark arresters. Railroads falling to comply with this order will see their engines stopped from operating by railroad ottlclals. A great iercentage of forest fires are started by locomotive sparks, or sparks from logging engines. The transcontinental lines have general ly shown a wflllngness to show pro per precaution, but even the big roads have beeu occasional offend ers, the smaller lines, Including mauy logglng roads have never paid any attention to the law requiring spark arresters. With the arrest last week of "Iarby" Thellman, the gen eminent secret service otlkials have rounded up the last of the famous Maybray gang of fake prize fight and phony wrestling match operators, who are said to have made millions from their victims in the last ten years, They operated by conducting "fixed" matches, to which the victim was given a supposedly sure thing tip. Many reliable business men fell into the trap, believing that they were the fixers. Of course the match al ways went wrong, one of the par ticipants feigned serious Injury, there was a fake police raid, or some other scheme to so frelghten the vic tim that he gave up his money with out a murmer. The gang operated in Seattle in l'.Htti, fitting up a houseboat on Lake Washington, with a ring and seats for a few spectators. IN THE VAN OF PROGRESS.

Hut a belter appreciation of the value of technical education seems now to prevail In this country, and a clearer understanding of the wopn of the work of this college and Its close relation to the industrial development of this commonwealth seems to be well established In the state. With the establishment of these two condi tions a distinct period In the history of the Institution Is closed. iMirlng the next quarter century It Is safe to predict that the institution will do it more wonderful work than In the past twenty-five years and that It will become n powerful factor In every phase of the mate's develop ment.
