ORATORICAL PRIZE.
RIcbard Smith, of Klamath Falls,
Took' Second Place In Unlrer
Blty of Oregon Context.
ECGBNE. Or., June 20. The 25th annual
commencement exercises of the Univer
sity of Oregon were held In "Villard Hall
this morning, and were without doubt the
most successful In t!he history of the in
stitution. The Falling prize of 5150 for
the best commencement oration was won
by Bernard Charles Jakway, of Portland,
and, the Beekman prize of $100 by Richard
Shore Smith, of Klamath. Falls. The
otSher four contestants. Messrs. McArthur,
Beattle, Whittlesey and Goodrich, deliv
ered excellent orations, making the con
test 'one of the closest ever held at the
university.
Villard Hall was crowded almost to
suffocation when the ceremonies began,
and the scene was one of beauty and en
thusiasm. The first on the programme
was a prayer by Rev. H. S. Johnson, '87,
which was followed by a piano solo, Ed
ward S. Van Dyke, '0L Charles McGinn,
of the law school, then" delivered an ex
cellent oration on "Daniel "Webster,"
which, however was not offered. In the
contest, as. the prizes were for graduates
of the college of letters. Miss Rita Han
sen then sang a pleasing contralto solo,
after which W. Gilbert delivered a splen
did oration on "Conduct and Dogma."
He was followed by Luke L. Goodrich,
who presented a well-written oration on
"Christian Heroism." After a number by
the Treble Clefr Bernard C. Jakway spoke
on "Runnymede." The oration was a
most scholarly production, and was de
livered .with great force. It was awarded
first place In the contest. The" next speaker
was Cllftton N. McArthur. He took for
his subject "The Standard-Bearer of the
Tenth Legion." The oration was a
plea for better political Institutions, and
was awarded third place. After a piano
solo by Arthur L, Frazer, R. S. Smith
presentted a striking oration on "The
Standard-Bearer of the Tenth Legion,"
In which he made a strong plea for leader
ship and better conditions of society. Mr.
Smith was arweded second place. The last
speaker was Walter L. Whittlesey, who
. presented a new line of thought? on
"Wealth and the Commonwealth," a sub
ject which he handled in an able manner.
While the judges were In conference
Dr. Frank Strong made a short address
to the graduates. In which he emphasized
the need of better citizenship, as well as
of men who will follow out? the ideala
which they cherish. He concluded by
wishing the members of the class a most
happy and successful future. The follow

WOMAN WITH BAMBOO TEETH
Returning: Soldiers From the Sonth
Seas Tell of ITgrly Females.
About 100 returning volunteers of the
Thirty-first Infantry passed through the
city yesterday on their way East. Their
regiment had spent 20 months on the
Island of Mindanao, and they had just
been mustered out at San Francisco.
The Thirty-first was mobilized in Ken
tucky previous to leaving for the Philip
pines, two years ago, and its members
were mostly the sons of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Virginia and North Carolina. The
boys thought they were pretty well used
to hot weather previous to departing for
the tropics, but they found the climate of
Mindanao much hotter th'an they expect
ed, and, much of the country being
swampy, mosquitoes made their lives mis
erable. "We had to wear a net over
our heads while on guard," one of them
said, "and as this cut off the air, the
heat was that much more oppressive."
The Thirty-first boys were all glad to. get
away from Zambango, where they "had
been quartered most of the time. Zam
bango Is the seaport of the Island and
has a population of about 60,000. The place
had been burned down once by the Ameri
can troops, but was quickly rebuilt after
Us capture. Rebuilding was easy, how
ever, as most of the houses were con
structed of bamboo.
There are very lew Americans in Min
danao, except the soldiery, the boys said,
and they were over a year without having
seen a white woman. The native women
are little and ugly, and blacken their
teeth with a kind of weed they chew, as
though they weren't ugly enough before.
Some of the old ones who have lost their
teeth have false teeth made of bamboo.
These false teeth won't stand hard vic
tuals, but as the diet of the Islanders Is
mostly rice, the wearers make their sets
last pretty well.
The soldiers do not look for much more
fighting in Mindanao, as the Island Is
mostly in the hands of the Moros, who
are friendly to the Americans. The Ta
gals are not much In evidence, and so
the people are very likely to settle down
under the Stars and Stripes, if they are
not treated too harshly by Uncle Sam.
The members of the Thirty-first were
generally very anxious to come home
when their term of enlistment expired,
and but 14 out of the entire regiment con
cluded to remain In Mindanao. These men
obtained Government positions at the va
rious posts, and as their salaries are
much better than the pay of soldiers,
they are likely to remain over 'there some
time.
While in Portland yesterday the soldier
boys passed the time by taking in the
town. Some of them visited the saloons
and those who succumbed to too much
drink were carried to the Grand Central
station by their comrades, two sober ones
packing the drunken brother off as sol
diers carry the wounded to the rear on
the battle-field.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Allan A Wright, chief clerk of the
Hotel Portland, has gone to Long Beach
with his family for an outing.
A J. Goodbrod, department commander
of the G. A R., Is registered at the Im
perial, from Union. He is preparing, to
take part in the reunion at Forest Grove.
Finley Morrison, the well-known tim
ber land speculator, has bought the Hug
gins residence in Holladay Addition -for
$10,000, and Is preparing to make Portland
his permanent home. His family Is now
on the way out from Duluth.
Henry Drum, Ernest Lister and C. S.
Reed, comprising the membership of, the
Washington State Board .of Control,
passed through the city yesterday on their
way to Walla Walla to Inspect the state
penitentiary. They spent Wednesday at
the State School for Defective Youth at
Vancouver.
United States Circuit Judge Gilbert,
who returned a short time ago from sit
ting In the Circuit Court of Appeals at
San Francisco, and who has been spend
ing a few days at his farm on Lewis
River, recuperating, has returned to
Portland, and yesterday sat in the United
States Court, Judge Bellinger beirjg ab
sent attending a meeting of the Board of
Regents of the University of Oregon at
Eugene.
J. O'B. Scobey, Receiver of the United
States Land Office at Olympla, and one
of the most prominent Republican poli
ticians In Washington, Is registered at
the Perkins. He Is accompanied by Mrs.
Scobey. After Thomas J, Humes was de
feated in the King County primaries last
year, the Ankeny faction of the Repub
lican party centered upon Mr. Scobey as
their candidate for Governor, and spent
three days at the state convention In a
vain attempt to nominate him. Only the
Immense trading strength of the Wilson
faction defeated him, and had he been
nominated, Washington would probably
have had a Republican Governor Instead
of a Democrat. It Is not at all beyond
the range of probability that Mr. Scobey
will be the next Gubernatorial nominee of
his party.

OUR LUMBER AT BUFFALO
OREGOX LEADS WITH HER FOR
ESTRY EXHIBIT.
Loss and Planks That Amaze the
Easterner Fay Faller Describes
the Display in Detail.
The West Coast and Pugei Sound Lum
berman, of Tacoma, prints the following
article by Mtss Fay Fuller on Oregon's
lumber exhibit at the Pan-American Ex
position: In the southern portion of the Pan
American Exposition grounds at Buffalo
stands the Forestry Building. It is situ
ated near the United States Government
Building, occupying a conspicuous and
favorable site. It Is of unique desjgn and
construction. The first impression to the
visitor is that it is a substantial log build
ing, and log buildings in the Buffalo sec
tion of the country are a curiosity in
themselves.
The walls are formed of Eastern hem-
WALTEP I .WklTTLESKY.
lock, Indigenous to Pennsylvania, and the
roof of bark slabs. The foundation is of
random rubble work, laid with large stone,
with large granite bowlders for the foot
ing of exterior posts and angles. The di
mensions of the building are 66x132 feet,
and the space Is divided to accommodate
the forestry exhibits of half a dozen states
and Mexico.
Oregon leads. The exhibit of that state
surpasses that of any other and occupies
nearly one-fifth of the entire building. In
bulk It is a larger exhibit than that of all
the other states combined. It Is the
largest, most comprehensive and best se
lected commercial exhibition of Oregon
lumber that has ever been made and is a
credit to every man engaged in the lumber
industry.
In weight, Oregon's woods, shown, under
such fine advantage at Buffalo, represent
120 tons, more than Ontario, Mexico, New
York, New Jersey, Louisiana, Wisconsin,
Missouri and Idaho, the other exhibitors,
can show. In itself this Is a triumph. The
visitor, upon entering the building in fact
before he enters it is Impressed with the
vastness and Importance of the forests of
the Pacific Coast.
Oregon lumbermen may not realize what
they owe to Commissioner A. J. Johnson,
of Astoria. His efforts made the exhibit
the best on the grounds. While the ques
tion of being represented at the Pan
American was stil an uncertainty, even
before the Legislature that was to favor
an appropriation for this purpose had con
vened, Mr. Johnson took the chances of
the whole matter upon himself, went to
Buffalo at his own expense and secured
the most favorable location in the build
ing, and a larger amount of space than
any other state has since been able to
obtain. From the first there was no doubt
about the forestry exhibit of Oregon.
There is no doubt about it now. Every
lumberman who sees it will be proud of
It. Every stranger who looks at It will
remember It.
It begins outside of the building for the
reason that the timbers and sections Mr.
Johnson picked up in his i tramp over the
Oregon hills are too large to get Inside.
The flrst thing seen when approaching
the place is a piece of yellow fir, locally
known as Oregon or Washington pine. It
is a remarkably fine specimen, 74 feet
long and 34 inches square. It was sawed
by the Eastern Lumber Company, of
Portland. The day I was there, there
were four planks of the same length ly
ing on top of the giant stick, each one
74 feet long, 20 Inches In width and 4
Inches thick, perfect specimens, without
a knot to mar their beauty. These were
finally taken Into the building and now are
conspicuously placed full length of the
attractive exhibit. Mr. Johnson had quite
a time with his big pieces of wood, for
the Exposition Company declared they
were too large to handle, and It was set
eral weeks before he suceeded In get
ting them where they belonged.
Then comes a spruce" log. a huge thing
which puzzles the Easterner. He Is not
quite sure but what It has been care
fully spliced, and he microscopically ex
amines each crack with suspicion. But
it Is just one of our little logs after all,
only eight feet In diameter and 18 feet
long, an ordinary specimen from the Ne
canlcum Spruce Lumber Company, of
Seaside, Clatsop County, Oregon. Still
outside of the building is a section of
noble fir, known as -larch. It is 6& feet
in diameter and 5 feet long, a remarkable
specimen when it Is remembered that the
noble fir Is an Alpine growth, and that
this tree grew at an altitude of 4000 feet
northwest of Mount Hood. It was a
task of no easy character to get out so
perfect and extraordinary a section, and
was accomplished by-the Bridal Veil Lum.
ber Company, of Bridal Veil, the only
mill in the world cutting that variety of
lumber.
Thus It is that the Oregon exhibit of
forestry begins half a block away from
the building, continuing in a triangular
fashion toward the main entrance.
Once inside the building the first speci
men attracting the eye is a huge section
or yellow fir, 9 feet 4 inches In diameter.
This is a part of the state's exhibit. Three
planks of noble fir 4S inches wide, 4 inches
thick, and 18 feet long, are seen standing
erect, and serving as a partition from
Mr. Johnson's office. These are also tne
loan of the Bridal Veil Lumber Co.
Beside them are hardwood planks of
ash, oak. and maple, the finest that Or
egon could supply, exhibited by the Cor
vallis Hardwood Lumber Company, of
Corvallls, Or.
Spruce planks there are, too, 22 feet
long, 4 feet wide and four Inches thick,
from the Necanlcum Spruce Lumber Com
pany, Seaside.
The Alnslee Sash & Door Co., of Port
land, contributes red cedar planks, CO
Inches wide, 2 Inches thick and 18 feet
long, first class specimens, rated clears,
subject of much admiration. The same
firm also shows cedar doors and moldlng3,
of which It makes a specialty.
White or Port Orford cedar Is repre
sented by a plank 40 inches wide, 4 inches
thick and 18 feet long, sent by the Simp
son Lumber Company, of Marshfleld. Or.,
a firm noted for Its manufacture of yellow
fir and cedar.
The banner plank for size Is a yellow
fir from the Western Lumber Company, of
Portland. It is placed conspicuously at
one end of the Oregon display, and in Mr.
Johnson's opinion Is the widest plank
ever sawn from yellow fir. It Is wide
enough, anyway.
The Oregon Sash & Door Co., of Port
land, makes a vep- fine exhibit of doors,
manufactured from sugar and yellow
pine, and from both yellow and noble fir.
Conspicuous also are panel works of ma
ple, ash. oak, yellow and noble fir, red
and white cedar and sugar and yellow
pine.
The Curtis Lumber Company, of Mills
City, Or., have placed In the exhibit red
cedar and yellow logs and a variety of
commercial lumber.
Fluhrer Bros., of Mayger, Or., show the
Easterners something of the great shingle
Industry, as evinced by their exhibit in
this direction.
Woodard & Clarke, druggists, of Port
land, assist the exhibit materially by a
collection of medicinal roots and barks,
and the medicinal preparations manufac
tured therefrom Indigenous to the Pa
cific Northwest.
Thi3 concludes the exhibits made by
commercial firms who are getting full
credit for. their aid. The name of the
company Is prominently shown upon every
stick or door or shingle, and all Inter
ested in the products of Oregon mills

The State's Contribution.
In addition this excellent exhibit of for
estry wealth is augmented by what is
known as the state's contribution. The
mills and factories sent their best, and
when these things were assembled Mr.
Johnson saw what was lacking and went
out into the mountains and gathered up
the rest. He shows principally raw ma
terial. For instance, a section of yellow
fir, 9 feet 4 Inches in diameter, standing
just inside the entrance, and to which
reference has already been made. Also
a section of sugar pine 7 feet in diameter,
large sections of spruce, red and white
cedar. Incense cedar, Alaska cedar, yellow
and black pine, hemlock, balsam fir. sil
ver fir, white fir, yew, juniper, white,
black and live oak, ash, alder, maple,
myrtle, cottonwood, mountain mahogany,
wild cherry, dogwood, madrone, chinqua
pin a kind of chestnut cascara, manzan
Ita, In fact, everything of commercial
value in the line of timber that grows in
the state; and of each variety a repre
sentative specimen, often remarkable for
size or quality.
So much for the state exhibit. The third
part of the display is Mr. Johnson's pri
vate collection loaned upon this occasion
to the state. It Includes polished speci
mens of every variety of commercial
woods known to the Pacific Coast, from
the tide lands of the ocean to the summits
of the Slsklyous, Cascades and the Blue
Mountains. Visitors thus have the oppor
tunity to see the tree Itself, the product
of the mill, the polished specimen and
from them all deduce his own conclusions
regarding the magnitude, the wealth, the
possibilities of thp Oregon forest.
Superintendent Johnson shows, too, a
collection of wood freaks of every Imag
inable growth, specimens he has found in
the hearts of the forests and secured at
no end of trouble. They are curious and
attract attention; a log that has grown
after the tree has -been cut down, a
twisted limb resembling a blackthorn,
others like steins and jugs, an Immense
knarl or abnormal growth looking like a
huge squash, and many other freaks of
the woods. Barks and roots of medicinal
value are shown, and no matter what the
exhibit Is the specimen is plainly labeled
with a full description. In addition there
is the cone collection, complete, showing
the fruit of every coniferous tree on the
Coast. One cone, 20 inches long and eight
Inches in diameter, is a specimen of the
largest variety in the world. It grows on
a comparatively small pine tree on Mount
Diablo, California.
To finish a description of Mr. John
son's forestry treasures, mention must be
made of a case of beautifully mounted
birds, inhabitants of the vast woods. The
golden-, China and native pheasants are
shown as well as quail, grouse and owls.
There Is also a collection of Indian bas
kets, suggesting the use to which early
wood growths were put by the early peo
ples, previous to the coming of the pil
grims of the plans. Forestry photographs
describing better than could words the
wondrous scenes hidden in the great
mountain ranges, are used in decoration.
Handsome arches of pendant cones and
pillars of Oregon moss are artistically
arranged. Moreover, the exhibit is spa
ciously displayed and so designed to ena
ble the visitor to wander through the
entire space and examine everything at
ease. Mr. Johnson himself Is there, know
ing the location, the commercial value
and the botanical significance of evt?y
specimen before.hlm. It is Just as Impor
tant to have the right man in charge, as
It Is to have the right things to show.
One of the things which calls out
strange Inquiries Is what Is known to
lumbermen as a ship's knee, a natural
and perfect specimen of yellow fir, secured
by John Rutter. The plainsman, unused
to the wonders of the forest and its fre
quent phenomlnal growths, is at a loss
to understand how the knee was bent in
just the 'right shape.
Dr. Dav Raffety, of Portland, has
loaned a fine specimen of petrified wood,
obtained at Cascade Locks and supposed
to be a log of red fir.
A section of 'gooseberry bush, five Inches
in diameter, a section of hazel, over six
Inches In diameter, and other remarkable
growths attract attention, but the prize
winner In this direction is a sagebrush
growth, 15 inches In diameter, the largest
sagebrush ever known, grown In the desert
land of Oregon, and presented by Mrs.
C. A. Knox, of Lakeview, Lake County,
Oregon.
The entire Oregon exhibit, as shown In
several buildings at the Pan-American, Is
creditable, and under General Superin
tendent Dosch and his corps of worthy
assistants, Is doing good work for Ore
gon. But nothing shown can surpass the
Oregon forestry exhibit, and nothing in
that special building- begins to compare
with It.
Allison a Wise Counsellor.
Philadelphia Times.
Some of the Senators seem to be holding
conferences on the tariff question at the
White House. Aldrlch and Allison are at
the National capital, and both are Influen
tial leaders when It comes to financial
matters. While Aldrlch Is a reactionist,
Allison has long stood on the "extreme
left," as they say In the European Parlia
ments, on the subject of protection. He
is a kind of Western Blaine. He has
voiced the liberal sentiment In the Central
West for many j-ears. The high-tariff
men who are looking for comfort will
And none of it In that quarter. The Iowa
statesman will not labor with McKlnley
to bring the Country's Chief Magistrate
back into the fold among the Brahmins
of high protectionism.
