DR. E..P. HILL MAKES ADDRESS
Elaborate Musical Programme in
' Marsh Hall in Which a Chorus
of Forty-Two Well-Trained
Voices Takes Part.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove,
Or., June 15. (SpeciaL) The largest au
dience o the -week gathered In Brighton
Chapel this morning to hear the 42d com
mencement exercises of Pacific Univer
sity. The entire front of .the spacious
auditorium was a mass of ferns and Ivy
rising In clusters from the platform and
hanging festooned from the walls. Beau
tiful bouquets of roses gave color to the
ecene. On the platform sat the faculty
and distinguished alumni of the institu
tion. President Ferrln presided.
The exercises opened with an invocation
by Hev. Mr. Bollinger, of Oregon City,
after which Miss "Waggoner, who com
pletes the course In vocal music, gave a
beautiful rendition of "Troumerel," by
Schumann.
The orations by members of the gradu
ating class were two in number. "The
Evolution of Faust," by Miss Mabel
Hbge, and "The Mission of the Moral
Pioneer." by Miss Harriet Toder. Both
were good productions and showed much
deeper study than the average college
oration. The young ladies spoke with a
clearness and force that carried their
audience with luem.
After a beautiful vocal solo by Miss
Moseley, a pupil In the conservatory.
President Ferrln introduced Dr. Edgar P.
Kill, of the First Presbyterian Church,
Portland, who delivered the address of
the day. He stated his subject as "The
Incisure Hour," and said in part:
"Many of those present are probably
surprised at the subject I have chosen.
On tills occasion you expected a discus
sion upon some problem which comes to
us from the past and reaches far Into the
future. My topic may seem trivial, but
I believe that upon consideration you will
conclude that It Is well worth discussing.
I believe with Dr. Hopkins that the
question, 'What shall we do with our
leisure hours?" is one of the most Im
portant problems of any age. He said,
Tell me what is done with the leisure of
Tiumanlty and I will tell you the destiny
of the race."
"Now, as ever, wc have our leisure
classes, but they are not the most Im
portant factor In this discussion. Today,
however, the problem Is brought before
our laboring classes as never before. Yes
terday our workmen were busy 12 or 14
hours a day: today they work eight or
ten. "What shall they do with these
leisure hours? Of what benefit Is this
time to them If It is to be used for their
degredat!on7
"This brings us to the topic of amuse
ments. As to what amusements we may
indulge In, each one must decide for him
self. But let each select something from
which he will derive a benefit. "When the
people learn to use the extra hour, not
simply for pastime, but for the upbuilding
of body, mind and soul, then will dawn
the brightest day the world has known.
"Recently I attended at St. Louis the
grandest exhibition of, man's handiwork
the jworldlhas ever seetu- it was itnpds-
lng beyond "description,, hut the most-lttf?
pressive moment for me was Sunday morn -ing-:wheu
I looked toward the Fair gates
and-saw that' they were hut. We must
remember tSod's teaching that "Sunday la
a hoy dayand not a holiday.'
"How many men wfto have come to po
sitions of power have been helped upward
by proper use of their spans moments! it
was so with Milton, with, Gladstone and
with many others, and so it is today.
We hear that this is a lawless age, it is;
an Irreverent age. it is; a superficial
age, and It may be. But many of these
problems that vex us.now would be solved
If we learned the lesson which I bring
you today. Perhaps tomorrow will see the
dawning of a brighter day. The oppor
tunity lies open to the youth of this
country-"
After Dr. Hill had concluded, Mrs.
Chapman sang "The Lord Is My Light."

ORATIONS WELL DELIVERED.
Albany College Commencement Exer
cises Are Ended.
ALBANY. Or.. June 15. (SpeciaL) Tho
37th annual commencement of Albany Col
lege was brought to a successful close to
night The graduating exercises were
held in the United Presbyterian Church
this morning at 10 o'clock, when diplomas
were granted and orations pronounced by
the candidates for degrees from the liter
ary courses, me auaitorium oi wie
church was filled with friends of the grad
uates and of the college long before time
for the exercises to commence. The hall
was profusely decorated for the occasion,
and the remembrances for the graduates
were numerous.
R.ev: E. R. Prtchard, of . Aberdeen,
Wash., pronounced the Invocation. This
was followed by a plana solo By puss
Emma Sox. Then an excellent oration on
Human Frailty, or Power Undermined,"
was delivered by B. Rdssell Wallace. Mr.
Wallace chose Mark Antony as the ex
ample of his subject. The great power for
organization and leadership were por
trayed, but all availed nothing because or
lack of self-control. The oration showed
careful preparation, and was well deliv
ered. George A. Prlchard chose "The Caesar
of the Nineteenth Century" for his theme.
Tho paper, which was filled with thought
ful argument, was a defense of Napoleon
Bonaparte, who was held up as the Caesar
of the 19th century, the leader of men,
organizer of government and generally of
superior abilities. All his acts were jus
tified by the writer as necessary to gain
the ends desired, which were without ex
ception maintained to be for the good of
the people whom Napoleon led.
After a vocal solo by Mrs. H. A. Nel
son. D, Webster Wight delivered an ora
tion on "The Russo-Japanese War." The
war was described as a conflict between
the Anglo-Saxon and the Slav, with Japan
fighting England's battles. While the side
of neither party to tho conflict was es
poused. It was made clear that the prog
ress of the Anglo-Saxon peoples demanded
the preservation of the Chinese domain In
tact.
Willard It. Marks then delivered his
oration on "The Inevitable Conflict." The
paper was a creditable effort, both In
composition and delivery. It was essen
tially a slap at arbitration In interna
tional affirs. Tho Hague conference to
promote arbitration was ridiculed as pro
ductive of nothing but promises. "Since
the beginning of time nations of the world
have been crying for peace, while their
sword is constantly unsheathed for war."
The Irony of history was noticed in the
fact that news of The Hague conference
had hardly reached all the nations inter
ested until Russia, the leader In the move
ment for International arbitration, was
engaged in a war of conquest. The writer
predicted that the landgrabblng of nations
would inevitably lead to a world conflict
for supremacy, and the United States was
held up as the final victor. At the close
of his oration Mr. Marks delivered one of
tht best vajedlctorles that has marked
the commencements of Albany College.
The exercises at this year's close of
school were creditable by many have
been pronounced the Dest in the history of
the college.. All students have taken an
active part in preparation of the pro
gramme, the townspeople have been act
ively Interested, and the work has been
above the averago for college students.

lace Howe Lee as follows:
Bachelor of arts, George Albert Prlch

PLEA FOR COUNTRY LIFE.
Corvallis Salutatorian Shows How
Progress Has Affected It.
CORVALLIS, Or.. June 15. (Spe
cial.) An address to the graduating1
class by Hon. George H. Durham, of
Grant's Pass, with the Russo-Japanese
war as a theme, was a feature of the
graduating' exercises at tho Oregon
Agricultural College today. Twelve
hundred people filled the Armory.
With its elaborate decorations, its
crowded platform and its setting- of
humanity in tho audience, the big audi
torium presented a thrilling1 scene.
An Invocation by Dr. Handsaker,
of the Christian Church, was fol
lowed by "Italia." rendered by the
ladles' chorus, under the leadership of
Mrs. Green, of the department of vo
cal music Miss Maude Cochran, of Au
rora, had the salutatory. Her subject
was "A Message From the Farm." In
brief she reviewed the history of ag
riculture, describing- its prominence in
the remote past. Its retrogression and
the movement of people to the cities,
and declared that a revival Is now on.
The better mall facilities, the rural
telephone and other conveniences that
remove the former isolation of country
life, she declared as certain to work
a revolution, aided, as f. Is, by the re
search and Investigation, together with
better training- all along- agricultural
lines, which In time must make better
profits for rural Industry. Urban popu
lation, she declared, lives at a pace
that kills. She painted a beautiful
picture of apple blossoms, green grass,
wild flowers and verdant meadows, and
closed with an appeal for country life
and Ideal homes.
Miss Agnes Watt, of Portland, sang
'The. Maids of Cadiz," and responded
to an encore. For the subject of his
valedictory, Melggs Bartmess, of Hood
River, had "Industrial Education the
Watchword of Today."
In his treatment of the subject, Mr.
Bartmess referred to the conspicuous
place the laboratory and shop now has
as a factor In education. In contrast
with the text-book methods formerly
In vogue. The expanded commerce of
this country, he declared to be in part
a product of the training the Ameri
can youth receives in schools of tech
nology. The Industries arc the basis
of the country s wealth, and the indus
trial training-,, widespread and liber
ally bestowed, conserves and develops
those Industries. The lawyer, tho doc
tor, and all the other professionals and
tradesmen have more increment to earn
from, If the industries and Industrials
are given widest and freest scope.
"In Liberty s Name" was the tmo oi
a song by the College Glee Club, and it
was followed by the address to tne
class by Hon. George. H. Durham.
The latter was a review of the causes
and conditions that led to the present
conflict between Russia and Japan.
The effort of Russia to gain control
of the Bosporus, extending as it nas
through a long period and embracing
as It has two great wars ana many
struggles in diplomacy, were related.
He told of the effort or .Russia to men
ace India as a means of forcing Eng
land to withdraw her opposition to
Russia's designs In the Mediterranean,
and Russia's movement from the Cas
pian in furtherance of that Idea. The
present advance or .Russia souinwara
through Manchuria he characterized
as a further move In which the ulti
mate object of the 'Czar In the direc
tion of India and the Bosporus as tho
ultimate destination. England, If not
a principal In the present struggle, is
a powerful and deeply Interested sym
pathizer.
In a five-minute taiK, striding wnn
pathos and teeming with Impressive-
ness. President Gatcn. conierrea iqb
decrrees and presented diplomas. Tho
president narrated the recent call of
an insurance agent who begged him
to take out a life policy. "According
to your figures, how long have I to
live?" was asked. While the agent
ran down hi3 columns of figures, tho
educator waited. "Six years,' replied
the agent, and then "I thought swift
ly," said the president to nis ciass.
"What can I do tnat win De oi vaiue
to myself and the world during that

LITTLE SQUAW LAID OUT
HAD STOLEN AFFECTIONS OF
YAKIMA. INDIAN LOVER.
Furious Fray on the Streets of Hood
River In Which Jilted One
Is Revenged.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 15. (Special.)
Two Yakima squaws fought savagely on
the streets of Hood River this afternoon.
It appears that one had stolen the af
fections of the other's handsome brave
"buck." The dusky maiden who consid
ered herself thus aggrieved sought bodily
injury upon her rival. Blows rained thick
and fast for a few minutes. The ag
gressor was the larger of the two, and
with a well-directed blow over the eye
stretched the smaller ono on the grass.
As she lay there, apparently stunned
from the knockout, the larger squaw. In
a furious rage, grabbed the little one
the hair of the head and flung her with
terrific force against a telephone pole.
Before bystanders could Interfere the
larger one, with a blood-curdling yell,
Jumped high In the air and landed with
both feet on the prostrate body of her
vanquished rival.
Then came the City Marshal.
ASKS SALOONMEN'S ADVICE.
Surprise Sprung by Professor Drew
in Saloon-Closing Crudade.
SALEM, Or., June 15.-i-(Spedal.) Pro
fessor Drew's third surprise In the law
enforcement crusade was sprung today
when he sent to each of the saloonmen a
request for an expression of their wishes
regarding the prosecution of cigar and
candy men who kept their places of busi
ness open Sunday. He says in his letter
that one of the saloons said that the law
should be enforced against all alike and
he tands ready to proceed against the
cigar and candy men If the saloon men
want him to do so.
It is probable that the saloon men will
pay no attention to the letter. The events
In the crusade thus far are the arrest of
all saloonkeepers on June 7, when they
pleaded guilty to keeping open Sunday
and were fined $10 each; the sending of a
warning notice to cigar and candy men
on Saturday, June 11, and the sending of
this letter to the saloonmen today. Pro
fessor Drew has been successful to the
extent of closing saloons on Sundays.
SURVEY OF THE SANTIAM.
University of Oregon Party Will De
termine the Water Power.
EUGENE. Or., June 15. (Special.)
Professor E. H. McAllster, of the engi
neering department of the University of
Oregon, with several assistants from the
university, will leave here Friday after
noon for the Upper Santlam to make a
topographic survey of the upper river and
determine the available water power in
that stream.
A similar work was done on the McKen-
zie River last Summer to a point about
40 miles east of Eugene. The party will
go as far up the Santlam as there Is any
likelihood of there being a demand for
the water-power of the stream for sev
eral years to come, and will work as far
down as the funds available for the work
will permit
The work is done by the university and
very little expense Is attached to It, as
most of the "force required for the work
are already In the employ of the uni
versity. QUARRELED OVER SETTLEMENT

Idaho Guardsmen Will Hold Encamp
ment at Home.
BOISE. Idaho, June 15. (SpeciaL)
There is talk of abandoning the plan for
the Idaho regiment to participate In the
encampment at Medical Lake. This is
because the money for the purpose Is not
sufficient and the regiment would have to
be divided, part being taken. It Is pro
posed to change to a state encampment
In Boise in September.
The Idaho Militiamen have been look
ing forward to Ihe encampment at Medical-Lake
with a great deal of Interest,
and It will be a disappointment to them
If they do not get to go, but they will
enter enthusiastically into the state en
campment if it be agreed upon.
