"The home missionary work on the fron

As the need of Influences to uplift and
educate the foreigners of different classes
on our borders was seen It was decided
that the women and young people, with the
co-operation of the Sunday school of the
"church, could do this work much bet-

BE LOYAL TO UNIVERSITY
Mrs. Burkheimer Makes Plea for
. Grangers' Cordial Support.
PORTLAND,' April 18. (To th BdKor.):
TVhy should not we Oregon lans bo loyal to our
State University? "Why should we not do
dverythlngr in our power to raise the (Stand
ard of our highest Institution of learning;
equal tt that of the Eastern States?
. It U true enough that we are not as for
tunate as some of our "sister states," whom
Institutions have been, liberally endowed In
order that young men and women may have
every advantage to fit themselves for what
ever vocation or profession they wish to fol
low.. ."While we cannot expect to rival with
these places of learning- on account of a
scarcity of funds. It Is certainly a necessity
for the state to give the growing genera
tion the very best it can. so that "Oregon,"
which has already sent abroad from Its uni
versity men and women who hare won hiprh
honors for their "Alma Mater" and the state,
can continue to do so.
In the Senate, Congress, medicine and In
many, many Instances students, alumni of
the University, have been and continue to be
In the front rank, ' thanks to the college and
to the able corps of Instructors who are un
tiring in fitting students for their various
duties.
Having been a resident of Eugene for some
years, being personally acquainted with the
professors, I must say that the state ought
to be proud of such an excellent institution
of learning, and nothing ought to be placed
In the road to retard the progress which the
University is making. The Grangers must
remember that their sons and daughters are
just as welcome at this school and receive
the very best of training, just like the sons
and daughters from the city. Why then be
so opposed to the appropriation? We cannot
expect one single individual to put up funds
for the education of thousands upon thousands
of people. But If all persons in the state put
up their little mite, they would not only do
themselves everlasting good, but future gener
ations. Therefore I think that the farmer as well
as the city man should look at this In the
proper light and give . our loyal Institution
their loyal support.

S. H. Friendly, of Eugene.
BUGEXH Or., Aurll 18. (Special.)
Much satisfaction ia expressed here
because of the reappointment of S. H.
Friendly as a regent of the University
of Oregon. Mr. Friendly has served
as a regent since 1893, and has been
one of the roost useful and Influen
tial members of the board. He has
been a member of the executive com
mittee, for several years and closely
Identified with the administration
work of the University. ,
Mr. Friendly settled in Eugene in
the early '60s and has been Identified
with the Industrial and political life
of this part of the state. He is one
of Hiugene's foremost citizens and is a
liberal, broad-minded man. ELs ap
pointment as regent holds until 1919.
of a Tlsit to the country of bis nativity
after an absence of 23 years. Mr. Gibbs
was In Portland yesterday on his way
to San Francisco, where he has relatives.
This American citizen, raised and edu
cated In Japan, may return to Yokohama,,
where he has business interests. although
he said yesterday that he dared not re
main for any great length of time in
the Rose City or he would lose all desire
to return to the land be has learned to
know as his home.
Mr. Gibbs was educated at Tokio Col
lege and had mastered the language of
the Land of the Rising Sun almost be
fore he had learned .the rudiments of his
native tongue. Stx ' years ago he went
to Honolulu, intending to locate, but
was soon called back to Yokohama by
the death of his father. He was repre

the Russo-Japanese war broke out. He
supplied the Japanese government with
several hundred bicycles for the soldier
cyclists, one sale Including 1600 machines.
. "The Japs have not only found the
bicycle useful in war. but have adopted
the machine for practical use. The coun
try has become thoroughly "bicyclized,'
and annually imports from the United
States something; like 350,000 of these ma
chines.
"The Japanese are very generally
adopting the American style of dress,
and I would not be surprised if the next
tew years witness a complete substitu
tion. -They have made wonderful prog
ress since the -war with Russia, especially
In an industrial way. There Is now being
held at Tokio an exposition not unllke

"Japanese give much attention to their
schools, where the, system of education
Is well rounded out. They are close
imitators, have adopted the good points
they have discovered in the educational
systems of other countries and have com
bined these features Into one complete
system."
Mr. Glbbs says the Japanese are adding
to their implements of war by building;
a number of modern warships. Whether
they contemplate any further conqVest
or not. he says, is purely speculation.
but the Inference- is they are preparing
for any contingency that may defy the
Intervention of the peace commission.

BRISTOL SUBPENAS FIRST
Holds Neuhauoen Here for Ap
proaching Land Fraud Trials.
Among the witnesses from Oregon
subpenaed to Washington, in connection
with the Hyde-Benson-Diamond land
fraud cases, which are to go to trial as
soon as the Hermann trial ends, was T.
B. Neuhausen, special Inspector of the In
terior Department, who has been In
charge of the land fraud investigations
in Oregon for the past two years. In
spector Neuhausen will not, rrowever, be
one of the star witnesses In this case,
for before the subpena from Washington
was served. United States Attorney W. C.
Bristol served Neuhausen with a subpena
that will keep him In Oregon until the
work of the Federal grand jury that will
be sworn in this morning . at 10 o'clock
gets through.

who has long been camping on the trail
of the giant California and Oregon land
fraud sharks. Mr. Neuhausen is said to
know more about their crooked dealings
than any. other man connected with the
case. He'may be badly needed at Wash
ington, but Mr. .Bristol feels that with
out Neuhausen here in Portland just at
this time, prosecution of the land cases
to be- brought before ' the grand Jury
would be seriously handicapped. This is
whv for the first time since he has been
connected with Oregon land-fraud work
that Neuhausen has had a subpena
handed him.

TWO INSTANCES OF CAPITALISTS
LOOKING TO OREGON. '
Syndicate Wants Irrigation Scheme.
Wisconsin Man Ready to Buy In
to Some Established Business.
Opportunities in Oregon for Eastern
Investments are being looked Into by
capitalists, showing the results coming
from the systematic advertising that
has been and 'is being carried on by
the commercial bodies of Portland.
Two Instances will illustrate the na
ture of inquiries made personally and
by letter every day:
The Chamber of Commerce has a
proposition from an EaBtern syndicate
of capitalists asking for a suggestion
for Investment in a private irrigation
system In Oregon. The Chamber has
Information which Secretary Glltner
says is satisfactory to establish the
responsibility of the syndicate, and a
representative of the company has
taken up the matter with the Chamber
in a way that would Indicate Its desire
to enter into an extensive project- Com
munications addressed to the secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce from any
section of the state with reference to
this proposal will receive attention.
W. B. Medary, of LaCrosse.. Wis., is
in Portland with the object in view of
locating in a manufacturing or Jobbing
business. The nature of the business
depends on what offers as an Invest
ment, Mr. Medary saying he would pre
fer' to go into some business already
established and enlarge, rather than
start up an entirely new concern.
Mr. Medary has conferred with the
Chamber of Commerce, and in case any
Portland concern- that contemplates an
extension of its manufacturing plant
will communicate with the Chamber,
an Interview will be arranged.
Portland and Oregon are to be made
subjects of an illustrated lecture In the
East. Rev. Curtis Lee Laws, pastor
of the -First Baptist Church of Balti
more, has written to Portland asking
for information concerning stereopticon
slides illustrative of the beauty and
commercial progress of the city and
state. He states that he will be one
of a large party from the East that
will visit the Coast during the Summer
and will then obtain facts upon which
to buildt up his lecture.

Youth's Sentiment About Pilgrims'
Jamestown. Trip,
PORTLAND. April 18. (To the Editor.)
In a discussion of the Jamestown Expo
sition and. th part the West will play In
It. the question is raised why this band of
Oregon girls desires to masquerade In
squaw blankets? Is It because they think
It will be perfectly charming? Surely they
do not wish to give Easterners the impres
sion that the West Is a wild country yet
to be tamed?
It puzzles me to know Just how these
girls will enter Jamestown to attract the
most attention. Will they swoop down upon
the town with a blood-curdling war-whoop?
Or will they march stolidly behind their
chief, with determination written in the
very tread of their moccaslned feet?
If this is, the idea to attract attention to
bur state, why not go to the nearest res
