THE MOENING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1901.
POOL OF HOPGROWERS
A.TTK3nT-VVILIi BE MADE TO FORM
OSE AT WOODBIBX TODAY.
If it Falls, the Gro-nrers "Will Prob
ably 'Have to Sell Tills Year's "
Crop Individual-.
SALEM, Oct. 20. The meeting of Ore
Bon hopgrowers at "Woodburn tomorrow
will be an important one, for at that
Time an effort will be made to form a
pool of hops under the most favorable
terms vt proposed. The meeting was
called by the Hopgrowers' Association,
but will be held independently' of that or
ganization. Only those who go into the
pool will be interested, and each man
will have a voice according to the quan
tity of hops he puts into the pool.
The iropositipn now made to the grow
ers is that they form' a pool of choice
liaps.. to be shipped to London. Some
person or -lirm whose name has not been
announced Jhas proposed to finance the
anove, and under his proposition the
growers, will receive from 9 to 10 cents
per pound oil their hops before they part
with them, and will receive in addition
all above the advance that the hops may
ijring. As the hop market is dull with
11 cents as the highest offer at present for
Ihe strictly choice goods, and 9J to 10'
cents the common offer, it is expected
this plan vill find favo,r with a large
Slumber of growers. One thing is cer
tain, growers have arrived at the point
In their business experience where they
will not part with their hops until they
Jrecelve the money for them, or at least
jo. good proportion of the money, and as
surance that they will get a square deal
.lor the balance. Growers are also very
Hoath to put their hops on the market
eit 11 cents and under. Many of them
3iad their minds made up that they would
receive 15 cents, and their expectations
2iave not yet fallen below 13 cents. Some
who have not choice hops, and who have
only small lots, are selling at SVfe to 101s
cents. The larger growers are hanging
on, but are beginning to think of sell
ing. The offer to advance 9 to 10 cents on
liops, and then to pay the grower the
difference between that price and the
price for which the hops may sell, is ex
pected to revive confidence in the future
of this year' crop. At the same time,
the proposition may have conditions ap
pended to it that will make it loolc alto
gether different from what appears on
the fare of It. The circular letter an
nouncing the meeting states that the
growers who go into the pool will elect
a. representative to go to London and
look after the interests of the growers.
2Tor many years past America has been
sending to Europe annually frcm 50,005
to 100 COO bales of hops, the greater por
tion of which go to Great Britain. These
shipments have been made even when
England had a crop larger than needed
for her local consumption. This means
that there is a demand for a certain
quantity of American hops, regardless of
2iomc supply. England has this year an
enormous crop, and the importations
from America will therefore be only of
strictly choice goods. Only choice hops
will be taken into the pool which it is
proposed to form, and then the pool will
be offered for sale in London.
The importance of the meeting 'tomor
row lib in the fact that this plan for a
pool Is the best yet suggested, and If It
fails of consummation at this stage of
the game (and the hop industry is gen
erally acknowledged to be pretty much
of a gamble), there will be little hope
for the success of any other pooling
scheme this year. If this plan fails, the
growers will probably sell their crops in
dividually, and what that will mean re
mains to be seen. Thus far the growers
nave Ttept their heads and have been
iirm. If all should take a notion to sell,
prices would go down, and this is some
thing that both dealers and growers would
regret to see. There is not yet any in
dication of a. stampede of growers, but
some of the leading growers have ex
pressed a fear that there will be too
active an effort on the part of the pro
ducers to sell their crops.
Salem Notes.
A meeting of the Sunday School As
sociation of the Salem district will be
iield In the First M. E. Church In this
city next Friday evening. The Sunday
school workers will meet at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon and transact business, after
which a lunch will be served, and the
remainder of the evening will be devoted
to the discussion of topics relating to the
work.
The Lewis Pettijohn farm, of 307 acres,
was Fold at auction yesterday by the
executor of the Pettijohn estate. The
farm, is six miles south of Salem, includes
both hill and bottom land, and brought
an average of $17 30 per acre.
EASTERN OREGON DISTRICT FAIR.
Twelfth Annual Exhibition Was a
Success.
LA GRAXDB, Oct. 20. The 12th annual
district fair of Eastern Oregon closed here
Hast night, after the most successful week
Jn the history of the association. The at
tendance for the week aggregated over
10.000. The weather was perfect.
The people were well entertained
and the fair proved an important fcocial
event for all classes in the district. It
wail doubtless also nave proved of great
tbeneiil ih the Industrial development of
Eastern Oregon. The exhibits were not
large, but they were of almost endless
variety, and speak well for the resources
land the enterprise of the section.
The livestock exhibit contained almost
everything commonly exhibited in that
line at country fairs. There were about
100 noises on exhibition, besides the racing
slock. Of draft horses there were about
25, mules 15; standard breds, 25; all work
Worses, 15 to 20; standard breds, 25, and a
few thoroughbreds. Nearly all are regis
tered stock, and represent years of breed
ing. Ihe cattle exhibit was especially fine,
"being particularly notable for two herds
of Hcrcfdrds. one from the farm of C. B.
"Wade, of Pendleton, and the other from
the farm of E. J. Conrad, of La Grande.
They are specimens from the best herds
in the East and have never seen their
equal here. Each owner had about 10 on
x!ubItlon, and the prizes were pretty
cimly divided. The prizes for Shorthorns
wtre taken by C, B. "Wade and Thoma0
"Wjde, of Island City.
In sheep, Thomas "Wade's Shropshire,
ard Blochland Bros.' Cotswolds took
air-'. "With their herds of Poland China
cr. 1 Berkshire hogs, Blochland. Bros, swept
up - ery prize "in that line.
Tr poultry exhibit was not large, but
contained some very fine fowls. The
breeds represented were Bronze turkeys,
Emden and Tolouse geese, Pekin and
"Rouen ducks, and of the chickens, "White
"Wyandottes, Barred Plymouth Rocks,
"White Leghorns, Buff Leghorns, Buff Co
chins, Partridge Cochins and Black ill
norcas. In the art and Industrial pavilion there
were hundreds of exhibits of handicraft,
including needle-work, fancy-work, lace,
drawn work, cushions, quilts, cookery,
canned fruits, hand-painted china, land
scape paintings, flowers, rugs and photo
graphs. One notable exhibit in this de
partment was that of more than 100 speci
mens of dried grasses, grains, weeds and
iiowers from the Eastern Oregon Agricul
tural Experiment Station, prepared by
Professor Lochenby. Another was a list
of samples in the line of blankets, suits,
dress goods and batting from the Union
woolen mills.
The department of fruits, grains and
vegetables was liberally patronized. The
fruit exhibit wafe of finer specimens and a
greater variety than has heretofore been
collected in this part of the state. The
success of this exhibit is due to the ef
forts of L. Oldenburg, of La Grande, and
L. J. Rouse, of Enterprise, who superin
tended the big "Wallowa exhibit. Between
two men the prizes were pretty evenly dl
vlded, though there were many, otherjare not .Known. .
fine small exhibits. The .vegetable exhibit
was mainly from the vicinity of La
Grande. In this most of the special
prizes were won by C. D. Huffman.
Friday was school children's day at the
fair. The schools of the county were
adjourned and over 1000 children were in
attendance. In the morning the baby show
was held in the pavilion, -t'he prize win
ner was Frederick Bock, and the winner
of the second prize Edna Mae Harmon.
The music for the week was furnished
by a brass band of 22 pieces, a well
trained and full-uniformed organization
from Joseph "Wallowa County.
The speed programme was the main at
traction of the week. There were eighth
days of racing, with 30 events in all and
$3000 in purses. Naturally, this attracted
many of the best horses in the "West. The
track is a very tine one and excellent
records both in the running and the trot
ting classes have been made.
GOLD HILL MINING. NEWS.
Eastern Syndicate Beginning: 3Iany
Improvement
GOLD HILL, Oct. 18. Colonel Frank
Raj of New York, who is at the head
of the syndicate of Eastern mining cap
italists and who has been here for the
past few weeks Inspecting the organiza
tion's properties, started Thursday morn
ing for the East, traveling via San Fran
cisco. Prior to his departure he an
nounced unofficially that his company In
tended taking Immediate steps lookfng
to the extensive improvement of the
company's vast holdings, in this vicinity,
and that these improvements and devel
opments will continue to the limit war
ranted by the conditions and circum
stances of the case. In addition to the
opening of the many mineral properties
acquired during the past three years, it
is proposed to establish milling plants of
sufficient capacity to handle the output
of the mines. To furnish power for these
plants and to supply light and power to
the town and adjacent mining camps, an
electric plant will be established here. A
ditch will be built taking water from the
Rogue River at a point near Tolo and
bringing It to the several sites selected
for the respective plants. This ditch will
be 1G feet wide on top, 12 feet wide on
the bottom, and will carry a volume of
water Ave feet deep. Work will be
started upon this waterway at the ear
liest possible date, probably not later
than December L
Frank Kauster, who has been quietly
working his quartz claim on Foot Creek,
about six miles from this place, for some
time, brought to town yesterday two and
one-half tftns of ore in which free gold
Is plainly visible to the naked eye In sur
prising quantities. The ore Is being
treated at Houck's mill at this place and
the returns will be very large. Mr. Kaus
ter has some "75 tons of similar rock on
his dump which will be treated here as
rapidly as it can be hauled and handled.
This discovery comes as a great sur
prise to the mining men of this place,
as the mine, though known as a, small
producer for some years past, has never
been considered of more than ordlnarj'
value.
A large amount of lumber is being
hauled to the Golden Standard mine on
Gall Creek, three miles from this town,
for the building of quarters for an in
creased force of men, which will be put
at work on the property as soon as pos
sible. About 20 men are now employed
and development Is progressing rapidly.
This Is the famous Kubll mine which
was sold a month or more ago for $40,00o.
The owners have since steadily pushea
operations upon the property and ex
press themselves as being more than
satisfied with their bargain. The mine
has been a leading producer for a num
ber of years and will be operated in fu
ture on a large scale.
The Gold Chloride mine, five miles
from this place, has begun the shipment
of Its ores for treatment. This mine was
purchased a few weeks ago by Messrs.
Mears, Landreth and O'Neill, mining men
of this place, who have since greatly Im
proved and developed it. The workings
show an abundance of medium-grade ore
and the mine, until the past few weeks
only a prospect, Is now operated on a
business basis, with every prospect for a
prosperous future.
IBEX MINE BONDED.
History of a Famous Property on
Cracker Creek.
BAKER CITY, Oct. 19. The Ibex mine,
which 'is located In the Cracker Creek
district, seven and one-half miles from
Sumpter, on the line between Baker and
Grant Counties, has been bonded to J.
H. Robins, president of the First Eank
of Sumpter, for $250,000. This Is a noted
mine with a very interesting history. It
was located and abandoned many years
ago by prospectors whose names have
long since been forgotten, and later It
was relocated by John Michael, Andy
Dewar, James Fain and another man.
whose name is not recalled at present.
The second crowd of prospectors were
poor men, who worked hard to develop
a mine. They had no money to purchase
supplies and had to depend on what
they could take out of the ground to
supply them with the necessaries of life
and furnish tools and blasting powder
with which to prosecute the work of de
velopment. It was uphill work for them
but they persevered, feeling sure that
they had a good mine.
About three years ago A. W. Hill, a
wealthy capitalist of Michigan, sent
SImco Chapman and his sop out "West
to look up and purchase a gold mine. A
relative of the Chapmana, who knew
about the Ibex mine, wrote to the son
and he came to see the mine. He was
so well pleased with It that he obtained
a bond on IF for 5G5.O00, and sent for his
father to come and see the property.
Chapman, Sr., was so well pleased
with tho looks of the mine that he at
once arranged to take up the bond. The
owners had sent James Fain down to
Sumpter to learn If Chapman Intended to
take up the option. When Fain was as
sured that the deal was sure to go, he
was so overjoyed that he at once sot
out for the mine, to tell his partners
the good news. The weather was stormy
and the poor fellow lost his way and was
frozen to death. His partners worked on
for several weeks, patiently waiting for
Fain to come with the tidings of the
deal, when at last thcnews reached them
that the deal was closed and the money
was waiting for them in the bank. They
hastened down and soon learned that
Fain had left weeks before to Inform
them of the fact that the money was
waiting for them at the bank, in accord
ance with the terms of the bond. A
searching party was .at once formed and
the body of Fain was found. Mr. Hill
gave Chapman an interest in the mine
and at once began the work of develop
ing the mine In a systematic way. About
J100.000 was expended on the mine, and
then Hill and Chapman fell out and the
mine was closed down. This occurred
about seven months ago, since which
time nothing has been done In the way
of development. It Is understood that
Mr. Robins has negotiated the sale of
the mine to a syndicate of Nevada and
California people for at least $300,000, if
not more.
CRUSHED BY A "WAGON.
Benna Vista Man Accidentally Killed
Yesterday.
ALBANY. Or., Oct 20. Mr. Bunker, of
Beuna "Vista, was killed this morning four
miles north of this city, In Benton Coun
ty, while on his way home. In the even
ing he attended the meeting of the Mac
cabees, of which he was a member, and
then visited the saloons, starting home
with a load of soda water about 2 o'clock
this morning. The wagon in some man
ner was tipped over, falling with the load
on top of the unfortunate man, killing him.
He was found this morning and the Cor
oner of Benton County notified. An in
quest was held this afternoon.

RAIN STORMS IN ALASKA
TOWN OF SKAGWAY IN A STATE OF
CHAOS. ,
Great Damage Done to Personal anil
Railroad Property Many "Women
and Children Narrowly Escape.
PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 20. The
steamer Centennial, reported .ashore near
Teller City by the St Paul, arrived in
quarantine last night, bringing 450 pas
sengers. The Centennial sailed from
Nome October 9. Among the passengers
were 30 who were destitute, and were
brought down by the- steamer free of
charge. The Centennial passengers re
port thatl at St. Michael Winter had prac
tically set. in. and that streams were
frozen and snow had commenced to fall.
On the Centennial were 80 horses "shipped
from Nome to be wintered on Puget
Sound and then they will be shipped back
North in the Spring.
Skagway and vicinity have been visited
by disastrous rain storms, according to
passengers arriving on the City of Se
attle today, causing .considerable loss of
property. The afternoon of October 13 a
torrent? of, water dashed down the valley
carrying destruction in its wake. Three
bridges were disabled, the roadbed of the
White Pass & Yukon Railroad was washed
away In places, and residences, shops and
the water front between Broadway and
the bluff were inundated. Homes for a
time along Skagway River were in im
minent peril, but with falling of ihe
water hopes ran high again.
Skagway was not the. only place that
felt the effects of the storm and freshets.
The storm extended from Skagway to
Caribou, and the tall end spent itself at
White Horse in a' mild downpour. The
railroad from Skagway to Pennington suf
fered. Besides three bridges being dis
abled and the roadbed being washed away
along the rlve,r, slides oocurred on the
mountain sides, and the track on the
other side of the summit was covered
with water. A big slide occurred near
Pennington, and will mean many hours
of hard work before the track will be
ready for trains. Snowshede Just erected
on the road were also' wrecked. Three
days is the minimum time that will pass
before trains even can be moved on that
part of thp road. The losses to personal
and railroad property- will easily foot up
to $75,000.
When the waters began to make an ap
pearance around the doors of houses in
Skagway on low ground, considerable ex
citement prevailed, and as the rain con
tinued in torrents, all made preparations
to move. Captain Jehks, of the United
States Army barracks, ordered the military
out, and they rendered assistance In sav
ing both life and property, and many
narrow escapes are reported of women
and children.
When the City of Seattle sailed Skag
way was In a state of chaos from the ef
fects of the flood. The carrying away of
bridges along the railroad means great
loss to men at Dawson who were ship
ping in machinery for Winter mining pur
poses, as machinery now at Skagway
cannot be moved until the road is re
paired, and by that time the river will
be frozen so that the machinery cannot
reach Dawson until Spring.
PROTRACTED LITIGATION ENDED.
Case Involving a Section in the
Town LimitH of Aberdeen.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 20. The
Judgment recently entered by Judge
Hanford. of the United States Circuit
Court, sitting at Tacoma, In the Case of
J. S. Book et al. vs. Willis G. Hopkjns
et al.. Is the conclusion of a piece of Im
portant and protracted litigation, and puts
at rest the question of the title to an
entire section of land situated partly
within the city limits of the City of Ab
erdeen. The case has been pending a
number of years, and Judgment was
finally entered by the court upon an
agreed statement of facts. A portion ot
this land Is already platted Into town
lots as an addition to the City of Aber
deen, and comprises some of the best
residence property in the town. The im
provement and development of this tract
of land has been retarded by the fact
that It was tied up In litigation, but now
that the title is finally settled, it Is ex
pected that the land will be rapidly im
proved. J. S. Book applied to purchase the
land in 1884 from the United States Gov
ernment, and receiver a receiver's final
receipt, but the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company entered a contest In the
Land Office against Book, claiming that
the land was within the lieu land grant
of its road. While this contest was
pending, J. S. Book and wife deeded the
land to John M. Hopkins. John M. Hop
kins in turn deeded various Interests In
the land to different persons, among
which was a deed from him to WUHs G.
Hopkins for an undivided one-fourth in
terest. John M. Hopkins died in 18W and
such remaining title as he then had in
the lands descended to. his wldoy and
children. Subsequently the Interest of
Willis G. Hopkins in the land -was levied
upon by Samuel Benn under a judgment
held by Benn against him, 'and still later
it was levied upon and sold under a judg
ment held by J. S. Book against Willie
G. Hopkins. One of the points of conten
tion in the case decided by Judge -Hanford
was as to the priority of right be
tween Book and Behn under these two
execution sales.
The contest pending in the United
States Land Office was determined by
the Secretary of the Interior against the
railroad company In. 1S9G, and a patent
for the land was issued to the grantees of
J. S. Book. Under the Judgment entered by
Judge Hanford In the case the other day,
J. S. Book and wife get an undivided
two-eighths Interest In the land; Samuel
Benn and wife are judged to be the own
ers of an undivided one-eighth Interest
in the land, and George B. Hopkins and
Rosetta Hopkins and Earl Freeman are
adjudged to be the owners of the remain
ing five-eighths interest.
Proceedings have lately been com
menced in the Superior Court of this
county for the partition of the lands, and
within the next 60 days or so the land
will be parceled off and divided among
various owners In severalty. When this
Is done It is understood that the platted
portion of the land will be placed upon
the market for sale.
The same tract of land was sold' in 1891
by the Hopkins estate to Chester A.
Congdon and associates for the sum of
$60,000, but as Congdon failed to meet his
payments the land revertetl back to the
Hopkins estate.
"WORK ON CAPITOL.
Building Likely to.Be Interrupted by
"Want o Structural Iron.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 20. Work on the
new State Capitol building has made good
progress since It began two months ago.
The basement walls are almost up to the
water table. Within a short period the
building will be ready for the reception
of the structural Iron, and at that point
trouble will ensue. It Is understood that
Contractor Goss has made no effort to
order the Iron, giving various excuses
therefor, but the trouble appears to be
that he is anxious to substitute wood for
iron and will request the Capitol Commis
sion to allow him to make the change.
Matters in connection with the construc
tion have been none too harmonious since
work was begun. The contractor and the
architect have got along none too well
together, and dally disturbances between
them are the order. It is said by con
tractors generally that. Contractor Goss
took the contract too cheap and that he
Is desirous of getting out If he can do so.
For this reason. It is asserted he will
ask the commission to make the substitu
tion referred to, and In case of a refusal
there will come a parting of the ways.
But Goyernor Rogers says he will allow
nothing to interfere with the construc
tion of the building, and as he is a man
of determination it Is thought that a way
out of the trouble will be. found. It is
certain that the contractor's request will
be refused, and as he is under a heavy
bond It Is hard to see what he has to
gain unless It is to find an excuse for
dropping out.
AT BREMERTON YARD.
Surgeon-General's Report on Sani
tary Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The annual
report of the Surgeon-General of the
Navy treats briefly of the sanitary con
ditions at the Puget Sound navy yard,
and the naval hospital at Sitka, Alaska.
On these tw6 subjects the report says:
"The only death at the Puget Sound
navy yard during the year1900 resulted
from poisoning by wood alcohol. Though
the rainfall In Winter is large, as the
subsoil is gravel the grounds are rapidly
drained. Climatic disease seems to be in
frequent and unimportant A case of
smallpox developed In a recruit a few
days after his arrival. Owing to imme
diate 'segregation and general vaccina
tions, no other case appeared.
"It is reported that, as a result of
the rapid extension of the town ot Bre
merton, the water supply is in danger of
contamination. Reference was made to
this In the report of last year. The wells
are shallow and are reported to be sit
uated in the natural drain of the Imme
diate surrounding country. In default of
acquiring the neighboring land, it Is
stated that an abundant supply of good
water can be piped from a natural source
distant about two and'a-half miles. This
water is at an elevation of 87 feet. Plans
have been prepared by the Bureau of
Yards and Docks for new sick quarters
for this yo,rd.
"The building used. at present as a dis
pensary was formerly a storehouse. It
is old and altogether too small to mee't
the requirements, which have Increased
each year. The plan of the new building
has been arranged to meet the-local con
ditions and It is believed that the work
will be completed without delay.
"As the Nlpalc, the station ship, has
now been assigned a sa re6eiving ship,
it is probable that the recruiting duty
as this yard will Increase. During the'
year 1900 there were S6 physical exam-,
Inatlons and 22 rejections.
The Naval hospital at Sitka, Alaska,
is not a separate building, but consists
simply of a few rooms on the. third floor
of an ojd storehouse which, "owing to the
decay of tiiribers is practically beyond
repair. The marine guard at ,thls post
was somewhat Increased during the year,
and if. the station is to be permanently
occupied a small building to be used as
sick quarters should be erected on the
Government reservation.
"Greater comfort and convenience were
secured Tn the present quarters by tak
ing in an additional room " during - the
year and converting It into a kitchen,
the room formerly used for that purpose
being now ( utilized as a dining-room.
Minor repairs have also been made and
woodwork painted.
"During the early part of the present
year there was an epidemic of small
pox among the Indians at Sitka. No case
of the disease appeared on the station."
A FEDERAL MILITIA:
Adjutant - General of Washington
Think It "Would Be a Good Thins.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 20. Adjutant
General Drain would like to see the Fed
eral Government in control. of the Militia,
and he Is of the opinion that a recom
mendation to that effect may be made
at the next session of Congress by the
War Department If the plan should be
adopted it will result in the placing or
the National Guard in a 'position similar
to that held by the Military Reserve In
the European countries. The State Militia
would then be thoroughly drilled, accord
ing to the regulations of the United States
Army. The regulations admitting mem
bers to the guard would be almost aa
strict and the . examination as rigid as
liv the case of volunteers admitted into
the regular Army.
It is thought that the Government will
be asked to furnish support to the Na
tional Guard on the basis of population in
each state, and more troops could be
drilled In case the state was willing to
bear the expenses. Adjutant-General
Drain's views do not coincide with' those
of many members of the National Guard,
and already criticisms are heard.
Arranging for Horse Races.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 20. A number
of owners of fast horses and business
men are arranging for holding a three
days' race meeting at Woodland Park,
near this city, during the first week in
November.' A meeting of those persons
Interested was' held last evening, at which
officers were chosen and preliminary mat
ters attended to. Woodland Park has what
Is considered the best mile track in the
state. It was constructed In boom days
at a great cost, .and Is well adapted for
racing.

Miss Frances T. Sorenson; treasurer,
Frank J. Spagle.
The first eleven has played no match
game since they met Multnomah here last
Wednesday, and has done practically no

the approaching encounter with Multno

a return game on Multnomah Feld next
Saturday, the 26th. and Pacific University
has abundant hope that the eleven will
at least equal its record of the Wednes
day game.
Vigorous effort is being made to secure
a game with the University of Oregon on
Multnomah Field on their return from
Washington early next month. A tenta
tive arrangement has been made to play
the State University on their own field
nex month, but the deal has not been
closed. The fact that the University of
Oregon has lost several of Its 1900 stars
by graduation, together with the hard
luck stories lately emanating from"
Eugene, do not tend to give assurance
that Manager 'Refimopd will schedule the
games. No amount of figuring by means
of scores nan take the place of a regu
lar gridiron contest, and it is hoped that
the deal will not fall through.
Completing "Washington & Oregon.
The Washington & Oregon Railway be
tween Vancouver and Kalama Is now
completed from Kalama to within about
eight miles of Vancouver, and the ties
were strung along the gap last week.
The completion of the road Is a question
of the few days necessary to construct
trestles at Whipple Creek and Salmon
Creek, respectively eight and six miles
from Vancouver. The old grade from
Whipple Creels to" .Vancouver Is complete

THE OREGONIAN, Portland, Or.:
Gentlemen: Upon making a careful examination of "Modern Eloquence" I am
convinced that the selections contained in the 10 volumes place before tho
reader the best productions of the great minds of the age In which we live.
The portraits are of the highest order. The indices 'and cross-references make
the work an encyclopedia of ready, easy and useful information.
Henry Van Dyke, In one of the selections, very correctly says that "Books
are easier, of access at the present time than any other kind of food. Every
one knows what books are. But what Is literature? It is the light on the
candle-stick, the flower among the leaves, the consummation of the plant's
vitality, the crown of its beauty and the storehouse of its seeds."
I consider "Modern Eloquence" a valuablecompanlon to the other works
on oratory now In my library, as Its contents are new; 95 per cent of its sub
ject matter is not contained in what I already own. It is a work that all
admirers of choice 'literature should possess.

THE OREGONIAN, Portland; Or.: '
Dear Sirs: The set of "Modern Eloquence" reached me In good order, and to
say that I am pleased with It Is not saying' enough. These volumes bring tho
reader Into touch with the world's best thought and diction, and from them can
be drawn a. wealth of inspiration for any occasion. "Modern Eloquence" meets
a need long felt and surely" never before met, and Is Invaluable alike to teacher,
student or casual reader. Very sincerely,

THE OREGONIAN, Portland, Or.;
Gentlemen: la supplying myself with a set of "Modern Eloquence," edited
by the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, I find It hard Indeed to express my high opin
ion of the work In words.
I find In the volumes speeches that have electrified nations, .lectures that
have made their authors famous, and essays from the pens "of men of letters
of the world. I think Henry Watterson's lecture on Abraham Lincoln a mas
terpiece It is almost worth the price of the entire work.
To sum up the contents, one might say that it furnishes information on
Important topics of the day from the ablest men of the present time, and ap
pears to be full of such a variety ot valuable matter that it cannot help but
prove of Intellectual benefit to the student or person who will read it.
In our commercial 'college we find -the library of Inestimable value, and
heartily recommend It for its educational Influence. Very respectfully yours,
