TRANSFERRED TO SEOUL
Thomas Sammon: in Portland En
Route to Corean Consulate.
Thomas Sammons, who for several years
has been American Consul-General at
Ntu Chwanjf, Manchuria, pent a few
hours in Portland last night on his way
to Puget Sound, where he will taks a
steamer for the Orient. Mr. Sammons
has just been transferred from his Man
rhurlan post to Seoul. . Corea. He has
not yet received notification of the change,
but expects to firtd his new commission
awaiting- upon his arrival at Tacoma.
Mr. Sammons is well acquainted in 4he
Pacific Northwest, as he was for IT years
a resident of Tacoma, where he was en
gaged fn newspaper work. Later he was
for six years private secretary to United
States Senator Foster, and was then ap
pointed to the Manchurian Consulate to
succeed Henry B. Miller.' At Seoul he
will succeed William B. Hayward. who
died recently.
On leave of absence Mr. Sammons lias
been in the United States for several
months and has just returned from
Texas, where he went to attend the
funeral of a brother. He will join his
family in Tacoma. and it is probable
that they will sail on the Tremont for the
Orient tomorrow.
Mr. Sammons is enthusiastic over the
future for American merchants in the
Orient. The foreign commerce of Man
churia.' he mays. Is growing rapidly, as
the natives become familiar witli im
ported goods. Of the foreign trade, he
says, the Pacific Coast is getting its full
share. A large part of the flour and lum
ber received at N'iu Chwang comes from
Portland and the Puget Sound cities.
The extent of this foreign trade is
j-hown by the fact that between $10,000,000
and $15,000,000 worth of cotton goods alone
are shipped into Manchuria each year.

rmttnuMd from First Page. )
and used to extend the area and period
of th annual inundation. An American
concern now proposes to dig out this
ancient reservoir and make it the center
of the greatest irrigation project on
earth.
Cope ' Whitehouse. traveler, scientist
and Kgyptologist, is the discoverer of the
ancient lake and chief promoter of the
scheme, which he says has been stopped
only by the opposition of the English
government expressed in Tword Cromer,
the real ruler of Egypt. The ancient res
ervoir Is located about TO miles to the
southwest of Cairo, and Mr. Whitehouse
says the work of excavating It can be
accomplished at a cost not to exceed
$1,000,000. His plan has been pronounced
by experts to be the most wonderful
project ever undertaken in the history
of Egyptian Irrigation, and the United
States Department of State has obtained
a copy of the original entry of the land
by Mr. Whltehouse. If it is found that his
legal rights have been interfered with,
an attempt will be made to force Lord
Cromer to withdraw his opposition.
First Waitress Still Living.
In Boston, where there are so many
white-capped waitresses in every res
taurant, it seems odd to find the first
waitress in any public eating-houso in
that old city still living. Her name is
Miss Rose Carey, and she Is now more
than 90 years old.' She was. only 11
when he started serving oysters in
the little restaurant at the corner of
Marshall lane and Union street. She
had great difficulty In gretting a start,
because the restaurants and hotels
were full of men. mostly negroes, who
served the patrons. Even the guests
became suspicious of the innovation
and eyed her closely as she flitted
about her work. But finally the "oys
ter house with the girl waiter' be
came as popular as the old-fashioned
"beaneriea," which used to be the de
light of Boston and the laughing-stock
of the rest of the world. Miss Carey
became an expert with the pots and
pans and her fame rests upon the fact
that she handed down the art of escal
loping oysters.
The finest bookbinder in the world
lives In Memphis, Tenn. Otto Zahn has
worked his way slowly, carefully and
conscientiously from the lowest round
of the ladder to the top. In 1893 he
won the only prize given at Agricultural
Hall, London. He also won the grand
prize at the St. Louis Exposition. An
other honor was his selection by Mr. and
Mrs. Trogaskis, famous booklovers and
collectors of London, to bind a copy of
Morris' "King Florus." Seventy-five of
the greatest binders in the world were se
lected for thia task, and when the
great work was completed. Mr. Zahn's
book was voted the finest of all. This
genius is quiet, unassuming and mod
est to a fault, and it is only through
outsiders that his friends learn of his
achievements. He cares nothing for
fame, and pursues the even tenor of
his way, designing- wonderful bindings,
putting exquisite workmanship on
dainty books, quite oblivious to the
plaudits of the outside world.
Father of Vassar College.
A recent press notice announcing
that Rev. Thomas S. Vassar, P. D., of
the South Baptist Church, Newark, X. J.,
had celebrated a half -century In the
ministry recalls the fact that, he is one
of the descendants of that distinguished
family that founded Vassar College.
Tt was the sturdy old brewer. Matthew
Vassar. who founded the college for
women, believing that girls should
have equal chances with boys in mat
ters of education. He amassed a neat
little fortune from his brewery and
went to visit the Old World. When
in London, he passed down a quiet
street on day before the doors of
some charitable institution and on a
brass plate he read "John Guy, done in
his lifetime." The words set the old
man to thinking. He had meant to
leave his money to some good work
when he was pone. Why not use It for
that work while he lived? To think
was to act, and when he came home he
Immediately set about building and
equipping a college for women, to the
end that he might see the beneficial
results of the word "In his lifetime." A
room was reserved in the college for
him. and he often came as a guest to
watch the growth of the plant whose
seed he had sown while yet alive.
Woman Stainer of Glass.
The recent successes of Miss Mary
Elisabeth Tillinghast, the foremost
artist In this country In stained-glass
work, bring to mind that Cornelius
Vanderbilt ol.ee paid $30,000 for a sin
gle example of her skill. She was se
lected by Mrs. Russell Sage from a
competing list of glass-workers from
all the world to execute the remark
able window in the First Presbyterian
Church at Syracuse. N. Y. She designed
and executed the window in the Ob
servatory in Pittsburg, which repre
sents Urania standing with an uplifted
torch. The famous Hutton window In
Grace Church. New York, is also her
workmanship. Some of her rare color
effects are obtained by overlapping
three and four pieces of stained glass.
Miss Tillinghast Is unable to attend to
more than half of her orders, but like
the lives of the most famous people,
hers had Its early chapter of hardships,
and success came to her only after a
long struggle.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
A PERFECT SUCCESS
"I wish to let you know that I have
used one set of Cuticura Remedies
one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of
Cuticura, but two vials of Cuticura
Resolvent Pills which cost me a
dollar and twenty-five cents in all. For
a year I have had what they call eczema.
I had an itching all over my body, and
when I would retire for the night it
would keep me awake half the night,
and the more I would scratch, the more
it would itch. I tried all kinds of rem
edies, but could get no relief. A friend
of mine told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies which I did, and am very
glad I tried them, for I was completely
cured. If any of my friends should
be troubled with the same disease, I
will cheerfully recommend the Cuticura

LOW WATER IS BLAMED
Irrigation Conditions Caused by
Famine in Tuinello Greek.
rRlNEVILLE, Or., April 5. (To the Ed
itor.) In The Oregonian of April 1, a
Laldlaw correspondent seems to be opposed
to the Columbia Southern Irrigating Com
pany operating In Crook County on the
west aide of the Deschutes River, with its
head sates on Tumello Creek. The artlclo
referred to states that the company is at
fault. This is not borne out by the facts.
The Columbia Southern Irrigating Com
pany Is certainly held by the State "Land
Board to be responsible for tbe reclama
tion of lands in its segregation, and it it
to be expected that the board will see the
work of reclamation carried out as provided
in the company's contracts. But It is hardly
fair to the company to blame it for an al
most unprecedented water famine In Tumello
Creek. The older Inhabitants of that dis
trict all say that the Tumello, which at
normal stage is about the volume of the
Clackamas, or slightly smaller, went nearly
dry 17 years ago, and again last year. Dur
ing alt that time its flow was as unfailing
as the Deschutes.
While the Columbia Southern ditch was
being constructed the flow of the creek was
normal and was measured by the state en
gineer and the company'B engineers several
times, the measurements corresponded every
time. The volume was adjudged by the
state engineer to be sufficient for the irri
gation of 27,000 acres of land, and on the
strength- of the engineer's report the com
pany went ahead with its work. Suddenly
with the aim of the company almost in
sight, the water famine of 17 years ago re
curred, bringing disaster and delay to the
Columbia Southern. All previous calculations,
based accurately upon mathematical meas
urements by experienced and competent en
gineers, were set at naught in a moment.
The State Land Board is undoubtedly right
in seeing that the company shall provide
enough water to Irrigate its segregation and
thus safeguard the settlers' Interests before
granting further patents. But we submit it
Is hardly fair to the Columbia Southern to
use its misfortunes In the manufacture of
advertising matter for Its more successful
neighbor on the east side of the Deschutes
River the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
Company.
' It Is said that the Tumello water supply
is short again this year. The Deschutes Is
also lower now than It has been for 30
years, at this season. The fact that a water
famine may occur any year has been dem
onstrated so forcefully that the State Land
Board cannot fail to see that one or two
large storage reservoirs constructed on the
Tumello, together with the normal flow of
the creek In dry seasons, will cover thor
oughly every acre of the segregation with
water. A. H. KENNEDY.

These and a score more of reasous explain wbv we have found it ABSOLUTELY XECES
SARY to put 178 MORE ROSE CITY PARK LOTS on the market. These reasons, together
with the fact that the first tract is ABOUT ALL SOLD OUT, account for this emergency.
Blqcks 32 to 47 are now ready for sale. This tract is, still NEARER THE HEART OF THE
CITY. Therefore, owing to the DEMAND, the PROXIMITY TO DOWN TOWN, the fact
that the STREETCARS WILL REACH THIS POINT SOONER, that the location is more
desirable from manv other points of view, the LAND IS PERFECTLY LEVEL, these 178 lots
are offered for a LIMITED TIME at $450 and $600 each.
If the first ROSE CITY PARK tract was worth $400 and $600 per lot, THESE LOTS ARE
WORTH ?50 MORE ; and, even at these prices, we cannot sav how long the lots will last nor
when the demand WILL BE SO BIG that it will be advisable to RAISE THEM STILL
HIGHER,
The improvements on this tract wiU be EXACTLY THE SAME AS ON THE OTHER. In
fact, men and teams are now at work on CARVEL AND TILLAMOOK AVENUES; the work
has progressd wonderfully, and these two streets WILL BE GRADED WITHIN A FEW
DAYS. The tract is clear of all trees and shrubbery and ready for building. The same condi
tions and restrictions will apply on this tract as applied in the former, which is about all sold.
THE TERMS WILL BE THE SAME.
ROSE CITY PARK becomes a MORE DESIRABLE home location every dav; a BETTER
INVESTMENT every dav; MORE POPULAR everv day. Have you been out there vet?
