guages In Pacific University. In point
Of service, Professor Marsh is the oldest
teacher on the Pacific Coast, having
pent 40 consecutive years in the position

with $1000 a year.
With the college song the Associate
Alumni begin their exercises in Brigh
ton chapel tonlprht. The occasion was
given over entirely to the honor of
Professor Marsh and his long service at
Pacific.
Milton W. Smith. 1878. of Portland
and a trustee, paid a glowing tribute
to Professor Marsh. He spoke of Pro
fessor Marsh as a kind, good and loving
friend; a man of lasting influence; a
Christian and a faithful teacher. John
A. Lee. 1891. said that the test of
character is the Influence that It sheds
abroad In the world. He rot only
praised .Professor Marsh for his un
surpassed scholarship but alno for the
deep Interest he took In every student.
Professor Joseph Klrkwood of Syra
. cuse University and an alumnus of
Pacific, spoke with great earnestness
of the noble character of this grand old
man. He dwelt upon the zeal with
which he always entered Into his work.
H. W. Scott began his address by
referring to the early days of Pacific
University as they were recalled by
him, the first graduate of the institu
tion. Mr Scott spoke of the great
work and Influence that Professor
Marsh had rendered to the world by
his work. In kindly words of praise
he presented to Professor Marsh three
very rare books procured from England
by the Associate Alumni.
One of the books was the "BlBhop's
Bible." Its title page bears a portrait
of Queen Elizabeth and was printed In
1568 during her relsrn. Another book
was the "Dewey Bible," printed in
France in 1S09. It takes its name from
- the place where it was published in
France. The "Bishop's Bible" is con
sidered one of the rarest books in
existence. The books are in a Btate of
Fine preservation.
After Mn. Scott had closed his ad
dress. -Professor Marsh thanked his
many friends and especially alumni and
students for the kindness they had
shown him.

State Land Board and the Deschutes Ir
rigation & Power Company yesterday

tion Company segregations, aggregating
about 100.000 acres. The new contract,

tion system to be completed in four
years from date. The amount of the
Hen -on unsold land is Increased from 10
to 125 an acre, on an average, but the
annual water charge is reduced from SI

Government for a patent and then throw
the land open for sale to settlers. "No
sales can be made until the board has
given authority. Settlers are required to
cultivate at least one-eighth of their
land within three years after purchase.
The quantity of water to be furnished Is
18 acre-feet during the Irrigation sea
son of 90 days. This means sufficient
water to cover the land to a depth of
18 feet.
Sales that have been made heretofore
are In no way affected by the new con
tract with the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company though the holders of

COMES TO FIGHT FOR IiAVD
Attorney Townsend to Lead Fight on
Southern Pacific.
8ALEM. Or., June 18. (Special.) Con
gressman W. C. Hawley received a tele-
long from an Inadequate and uncertain
railroad service is the plainly expressed
opinion of the members of the Oregon
Railroad Commission. While they have
nothing to say at present as to the local
train question on the O. R. & N., which
question is still pending, they are out
spoken as to conditions in general and
have no hesitancy in saying that there
must "be a change and that without de
lay. At least one member of the Com
mission is determined that the railroads
must give better service or reduce the
passenger rates.
With conditions on the Southern Paci
fic the Commission is perfectly familiar,
for the members ride every day or two
on the trains that pass through the val
ley on the way to . Portland from San
Francisoo. They know as well as all the
traveling public that the afternoon pas
senger . from San Francisco haa hardly
ever been on time in the last six months,
and very frequently it has been sevtil
hours late, with no reliable informa. .n,
provided showing when the trains would
arrive. That the train might occasion
ally be late without the fault of the com
pany, they are willing to admit; but they
are positive in the assertion that there
can be no good excuse for having trains
several hours late every day.
Should Put on Special.
"We are near the end of a long line,
both north and west,", said Mr. Aitchl
son of the Commission tonight. "If
trains from San Francisco or the Mis
souri' River suffer any delays anywhere
along the line, we get the effect of it
been made, and order that when a regu
lar train is an hour behind schedule time,
a 4 tub train shall be put on at Rose
burg or Ashland to be run on the time
of the regular train. This will give the
people the service to which they are en
titled." Commissioner Campbell took a similar
view. Commissioner West is a little more
aggressive in his views as to remedies,
and while the subject was under discus
sion tonight he made it plain that he be
lieves in taking measures that will bring
the railroads to time.
' Suggests Lower Fare.
"Passengers should pay what the serv
ice is reasonably worth." said Mr. West.
"The kind of service we are getting now
is not worth the 3 cents a mile charged
by the company. If we must endure slow
and Irregular service we should get it at
2Vi cents a mile. The people ought to pay
only for what they get, and if they do
not get a 3-cent service they should not
pay a 3-cent rate."
While Mr. West also believes in
the idea of requiring a stub train to take
the place of delayed trains, he believes in
compelling the roads to run through
trains on time. He declares that the
train leaving San Francisco in the morn
ing should get into Portland before 6
o'clock the next evening, instead of af
ter 7 o'clock, as now scheduled. The com
mission has set next Monday at 1:30 P.
M. as- the time for completing the hear
ing on the question of a local train from
Pendleton to Portland. The meeting Mon
day will be held in Portland.
AFTER STANDARD OIL BATES
Movement to Force Reduction on
Certain Commodities. .
SALEM, Or.. June 18. (Special.)
The Oregon Railroad Commission is
about to make trouble for the Stand
ard Oil Company in this part of the
country. Today a complaint was pre
pared by the Commission and forward
ed to the Interstate Commerce Corn-
mission complaining of the freight"
rate on denatured alcohol, and asking
the Commission to establish a' new and
much lower rate. The Oregon Com
mission will press the case with vigor,
in the hope of securing a lower rate
on fuel alcohol, and if this is secured
it will mean a lower rate on gasoline
with which the alcohol comes Into
competition.
The Oregon Commission has taken
up this fight on its own initiative. The
Commission has taken this matter up
in the interest not only of Oregon con
sumers, but of all Coast purchasers,
for the reduction of rates is asked for
from Chicago and MIssourl-Rlver
points to all Coast terminals. The
complaint names as defendants all the
railroads doing business between Chi
cago and the Coast. Aside from the
formal portions of the complaint, it
alleges in brief:
That defendants by their tariff
schedules now maintain for the trans
portation of alcohol of all kinds, in
cluding denatured alcohol In' wooden
barrels or Iron drums, a rate of 85
cents per 100 pfunds in carloads and
$1.25 per 100 pounds in less than car
loads from Chicago and said Missouri
River common points to said North
Pacific Coast terminals Including Port
land. Astoria, Albina and other points
in the State of Oregon that such rate
as applied on denatured alcohol is un
reasonable and unjust, both generally
and relatively, in consideration of the
transportation service performed, and
unduly prejudicial to dealers and ship
pers of denatured alcohol at Oregon
points, and to their traffic in said com
modity, i
That there is no Just reason why de
natured alcohol should be put im the
same class and recorded the same rate
as proof alcohol; that denatured alcohol,
.because it is cheaper in price and is
used for entirely different ' purposes
than said proof alcohol, should take a
lower rate than proof alcohol; that
denatured alcohol, owing to recent en
couragement and development, can be
manufactured quite cheaply and ' is
being more largely used daily as a
necessity for fuel and other purposes;
that no internal revenue tax Is levied
on denatured .alcohol whereas -proof
alcohol is so taxed to the extent of $2
per gallon.
That denatured alcohol is used as a
household article for fuel and other
external purposes, ; whereas proof
alcohol is used mainly in medicinal and
other beverage preparations intended
for internal application. That at said
unreasonable carload 85-cent rate and
less than carload $1.25 rate denatured
alcohol is compelled to pay about 12
cents a gallon carload and 18 cents per
gallon less than carload for such trans
portation to said Oregon points. That
such charge also works unjust dis
crimination against the traffic in de
natured alcohol and should be changed.
OREGON WILL HAVE BUILDING

Local Option Case Fails.
EUGENE. Or, June It. (Special.)
Today in the case of the State Vs. W.
Waddle and Jack Morris, indicted for
violation of the local option law, both
defendants were acquitted
here in Oregon. There are many oppor
tunities for delays and we must expec'
that the through trains will suffer soim T
mishaps somewhere on the journey. But
the people of the Willamette Valley
shou! not bear all the Inconvenience
that results. The railroad company
should get trains through on something
near schedule time, and if a regular train
can't be kept on time, a special train
should be put on to be run on the time
of the regular. That seems to us to be the
solution of the situation. The Commis
sion is In possession of all the informa
tion that is needed regarding train serv
ice in the Willamette Valley. I think we
shall proceed upon our own initiative as
well as upon the complaints that have
the commission permits the secretary
and executive commissioner to be
placed on salary, but this will not be
done until September.

SEATTLE PROPERTIES ARE ES
TIMATED AT $48,300,000.
Realty Men Encouraged by Rail
roads to Make High Valuation'
as a Basis for Rates.
S BATTLE, Wash.. June 18. (Special.)
The testimony before the Railroad
Commission today of a special board
named to fix the valuation of Seattle
railroad terminals was that this prop
erty is now worth $48,332,787.12. A
special commission, including Will H.
Parry, James T. Blackstone and F. W.
West, had been appointed by the Rail
road Commission to appraise local rail
road terminal values and the testimony
of their findings taken here today, will
be the railroad commission's own de
termination of real estate values.
The total fixed by the three realty
experts includes the value of all rail
road property here. Railroad attor
neys showed an anxiety in today's
hearing to ret the value of the prop
erty fixed at as high a figure as pos
sible, for the Commission intends to
use the total valuation of railroad
property within this state as a basts
for fixing rates for both passenger and
freight traffic
that if the Council grants the franchise
a $1000 check will be put up as a forfeit
contingent on the completion and opera
tion of the road within a year, and that
actual building will begin Inside of 60
days.
Mr. Weeks says that he now has steel
sufficient to build a mile of road, and that
steel for six miles more can be secured.
In time for use here. The announcement
made Saturday in Seattle by Mr. Wyman,
of Boston, as to the intentions of the
newly organized International Traction
Company, to build a line from the British
Columbia boundary to Chehalls, Is be
lieved to have hastened Mr. Weeks' ac
tivity here at this time.
A new invention has been Introduced In
Newcastle. England, by which It Is feared
th lamplighters or the city will lose, their
vocation. A German Inventor has placed a
machine at the local gas works which will
enable the gas company to light and ex
tlngTilsh all the street lamps simultaneously.
