OREGON BUILDING. Exposition
c:.n Francisco. March 15.
A curiously fascinating psychological
mdv is this srreat exposition. All these
.11 thmn exhibits, all these
rtual nieces of other states and coun
trlea bodily transported to this shore
are being molded and worked into one
composite body. The physical trans
porting and joining was the lirst step.
but the thing that time ana expert
ence and torn heart and vivid Joy
alone could accomplish in the welding
of all these peoples into one people Is
rapidly being consummated. They are
becoming, through common interests
and common sympathy and common ex
.rini'it. one neoDle. where a few
weeks ago they were a city of isolated
units, curiously staring each at an
other.
This atmosphere of unity envelops
the thousands of guests that daily pour
Into the gates; they apparently forget
all care, all the anxieties that beset
the life of the big outer world and
viefd themselves up to the new life.
that takes them by the hand the In
stant the exposition portals are passed
They are as one people.
FlUcht Made on Glorious Day.
I don't think th6 exposition has
known so lovely a day as Sunday, the
day Beachey made his last, long, gio
rious flight into the unknown. The
air was still, the sky blue, and from
the ocean floated in soft wraith-like
films of fog that softened and toned
the sunlight into a perfect hue for
the soft-toned pile that is the Expo
sition City. Even the thousands of pig
eons that nest in the Court of the Uni
verse appeared unusually aware
maybe someone had whispered to them
that Ueachey was to fly up among them,
to fly farther than the most daring
of them dared to fly. Great white gulls
circled and swooped about the gray
old battleship Oregon, resting- against
the blue waters of the bay, and every
where people smiled gaily and dallied
about courts and sauntered among the
statues and gazed up at the soft-toned
sky and said, "Beachey will have a
great day."
There was that about it that is a
matter of growth, that could not be
imported or bought that friendly love
for Beachey. The newsboys were ac
customed to pause just within the
gates, making change, and with up
ward turn of frowsy head, remark,
"Beachey a-flyin"" and no customer
was ever impatient for his change, for
up went hie head, too and his ace,
however set In the rigid lines of ordi
nary life, would relax and he'd say,
just to anyone, the newsy or a stranger
or himself. "He's a great one, that
Beachey." and always with the surging
of youth and adventure in his voice.
People Refuse to Believe.
So. on this most glorious of all days
set by Mother Nature for Beachey's last
flight, everything was propitious. The
people had come in immense throngs;
the grounds were black with moving
figures: long before 3 the guard
rope about the Marina, from where he
was to fly. was strained with the
multitude pressing against it. He rose
amid cheers. His first flight was
beautiful, but short, and down he came
to the ground. They tell us that his
mechanician was uneasy; that Beachey
himself was uneasy, but I some way
cannot believe it. He was in a new
machine. Ho went up again. We
watched, straining eyes, necks, back;
up, up, up, almost out of sight 6000
feet they tell us but we only knew
that he seemed to be flying farther
than he ever flew before, and we had a
Finking feeling that maybe he would
fly away from us to another planet
and then he began to come down; he
looped, came spirally some distance,
while heads and necks and backs re
laxed: then all at once his wings
snapped and went fluttering. Down
be was coming. There was a loud re
port, then the rattling of broken and
tangled machinery, and, straight as a
stone, he fell into the bay. Even then
me could hardly believe; we refused to
believe. The monoplane might be
broken, but never Beachey!
Everyone waited, as If stunned;
there was hardly a word, hardly a
change of expression; they just waited.
the most silent big audience I ever
saw. Then divers came from the
battleship Oregon, not 500 yards away.
and at last the mangled machine, with
poor Beachey still strapped to it, was
lifted out of the water. The crowd
broke into tears; hats came off men's
heads and women cried as if their
hearts would break. His mechani
emits were crying pitifully. The throng
followed the body, perhaps the largest
mourning band a dying man ever had
a man whose mission was to thrill.
Meeker Telia of Orra-oa Trail.
Especially to commemorate "Oregon
First" day yesterday. Ralph Stateli. who
has been entertaining large crowds In
the Oregon State building lecture hall
with moving pictures of Oregon scenes
and industries, gave way to Ezra
Meeker who showed his Oregon Trail
pictures and told of his journey over
the old Oregon trail from Tacoma to
Washington, D. C. The old oxen, the
worn cart and the picturesque driver
made up a fine set of pictures and the
casual, ruminating talk was much ap
preciated. The well known oxen have
been killed and mounted and with the
cart now make an Interesting exhibit
in the Washington State building. Mr.
Meeker admits that it was hard to kill
these good friends of his who stood so
valiantly by him in the long cross
country drive, but better to kill them
than risk their growing Into old age
uncared for; and now they make a
lasting monument to a phase of the
Northwest's history.
The youngest Oregonian present to
help celebrate "Oregon First" day was
David Jamison McDaniel, born in Port
land of parents born in Portland, two
years old. and the only baby boy in
Oregon who ranked 100 percent per
fect by the eugenics test last June.
Mrs. Thomas G. Halley. hostess for
Oregon, and her daughter. Miss Gene
vieve Hailey, were guests at the Neth
erlands ball Friday night. Military
gorgeousness on the part of the men
and handsome gowns of both European
and American origin make the assem
blage a brilliant mass of color and
heen. A supper In Netherlands style
was served at midnight and pretty Hol
laed Sir la in native dress added to the
Dicturesaueness of the scene. Mr. and
Mrs. D. O. Lively, of Portland, were
also guests.
Mrs. Eleanor Martin gave a hostess
luncheon at the Franclsca club hon
oring Mrs. Thomas G. Hailey, Oregon
hostess. Miss Hemsley, of the Mary
land buildlne- anil Mrs. Heth. a daugh
ter of General Heth of the Virginia
building, were also guests.
At the Paul Elder booth In the Varied
Industries Palace, in the midst of th
most beautiful books published In
America, I found another Portland
resident. Miss Mina Kelly. Miss Kelly
Is becoming well known for her clever
short stories.

The State of Washington celebrated
salmon day at the Washington building
with open house, music and salmon for
everybody; not a little taste sucn as
the food demonstrators tease you with
in the food products building, but
generous plateful, together with crispy
crackers. The city officials helped re
ceive the throng of guests and pretty
Washington girls dressed as salmon
swished their green-and-golden fish
tails merrily here and there about the
large reception room on the second floor.
Washington has a beautiful fish exhibit
in the food products building; the Gov
ernment figures in the same building
give Oregon's output of Chinook salmon
at 43,720,523 and Washington's at 385,540
annually. But Washington makes up
on the other varieties, such as silver,
red and humpback.
POSTAL TRADE SOUGHT
POSTOFFICE ANSfOTTSiCES If AMES OF
SELLERS OF PRODUCE.
Portland Postmaster Issaea Balletia in
Effort to Increase Shopping
Threagk Parcel Fast.
Not only has the United States Gov
ernment gone Into the parcel post bus!
ness in competition with the express
business, but it Is acting as a business
solicitor for the new package mailing
system. Bulletins are issued frequently
by postmasters and other officials that
contain lists of producers of country
vegetables, fruitB, etc, and are intended
for distribution among city dwellers to
enable them to get articles direct from
the producer by means of the parcel
post at a minimum of cost.
Such a bulletin has just been issued
by Postmaster Myers. It contains the
names of about 100 producers in many
parts of Oregon and Washington, tO'
gether with their parcel post zone from
Portland and the kind of produce they
have for sale.
It is a function of the postal depart
ment to procure these lists and the
postoffice receives addresses of pro
ducers for compilation and distribution.
The Portland office solicits correspond
ence in regard to many features of the
service from both seller and buyer, par
ticular attention to be paid to satisfac
tory features of the service, or vice
versa, comment on packing methods,
prices, failure of the system for any
reason and suggestions.
Postmaster Myers says in his bulletin
it is the desire of the Postoffice Depart'
ment to bring the producer and con
sumer closer together and to build up
helpful relations between them through
the medium of the parcel post. For that
reason. Portland people will be helped
in shopping in that way with people in
the country. It is suggested that pro
duce be bought in some quantity, as In
that way the postage is reduced mate
riailv.
For example, the rate on the nrst
nound is 5 cents in the first and second
zones, which include about all the ad
dresses on the list, while the rate for
each additional pound is only 1 cent.
Postmaster Myers suggests that It will
be a good plan for neighbors to buy
supplies together, up to 50 pounds, in
this way.
He also gives a valuable suggestion
as to directing shipments in harmony
with the delivery system of this city.
He says goods should reach Portland not
later than S o clock Saturday mornings
to make certain their delivery on that
day.

RIVER'S EDGEJJFFICE SITE
Engineer Harrington to Conduct
Work 50 Feet From Bridge.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. March IS.
(Special.) When John Lyle Harring
ton, engineer of the Columbia River
Interstate Bridge, was asked many
months ago, where his office would
be. he replied. "Just as close to the
Columbia River as it can be built."
The office Is now being built on
a concrete foundation started two
years ago by the Portland Railway,
Light & Tower Company for Its office
in this city, but abandoned when wa
ter from the Columbia covered the
floor, and it was learned the bridge
was to be built. A frame structure
is being erected on this foundation,
and here the resident engineer, with
his assistants, will bave their office.
It is within 50 feet of the site of the
bridge, overlooking the river and at
the foot of Washington street.
MITCHELL POINT
ROUTE ADVOOATED
E. E. Coovert Declares Fail
ure of State to Keep Faith
Would Be Calamity.
SPECIFIC PLEDGE IS CITED
Representative of Mr. Benson As
serts That Koadbuilding Done
by Hood River Would Be Use
less Without This Link.
"If the State Highway Commission
wants to keep its word and act in good
faith toward the people of Hood River
County It will appropriate the money
necessary to eliminate the 28 per cen
grade at Mitchell Point." said E. K.
Coovert yesterday.
Mr. Coovert represents S. Benson,
who recently offered to advance the
money necessary for building the
Mitchell Point road and is greatly in
terested in highway development and
in good roads generaly.
He and Mr. Benson, as well as other
good roads enthusiasts in Portland, are
taking sharp issue with State Senator
Day, who has urged the State High
way Commission to break its pledge
to tne 1000 Kiver people and spend
the money that it has promised for
the Mitchell Point work on roads in
another part of the county. The com
mission, after listening to Senator Day
on Wednesday, deferred letting the
contract, but will take final action next
Monday.
"The people of Hood River County
were promised definitely that the state
would spend 150.000 or such part of it
as would be required on the road at
Mitchell Point." continued Mr. Coo
vert. "and It was with that pledge in
mina tnat tney voted to bond them
selves for J75.000 to connect up with
tne Columbia Highway at the Multno
mah County line.
Resolution Is Cited.
The State Highway Commission
few days before the Hood River County
vole was taken, adopted a resolution
agreeing to appropriate the money for
this work within the year 1915. The
commission at that time consisted of
Governor West, Treasurer Kay and
Secretary of State Olcott. Mr. Kay and
Mr. Olcott still are members of te
commission. At anv rate the rnmmin-
sion should be bound by its former res
olution. I can t see how it can repu
diate that resolution without casting
renection upon the good faith of tho
state.
jar. .Benson was present at the time
the resolution was adopted. The Com
mission specified that the money was
to De appropiatea for the work at
Mitchell Point provided the Legisla
ture of 181a did not abolish the Com
mission or impair the quarter-mill tax
levy. On the strength of this promise
tne nood itiver people decided to bond
themselves for (75,000 by a vote of
4 to 1.
Money Pledged Conditionally.
"During the closing days of the
Legislature, when I became confident
that no change would be made in the
existing . laws affecting either the
Highway Commission or the levy.
attended a meeting of the Commission
at Salem and promised, on behalf of
Mr. tfenson, to advance the money
necessary to meet the payrolls until
the state funds were available, if the
Commission would order the Mitchell
Point work to proceed at once. Gov
ernor WIthycombe, Treasurer Kay and
Secretary Olcott at that time consti
tuted the Commission. It was in ac
cordance with that promise from Mr.
Benson that they ordered the engi
neers to make the surveys of the work
and advertised for bids.
"The engineers' estimates were that
the work would cost approximately
(50,000, but it is a condition in favor
of the project that the bids which
were opened on Wednesday show that
the work can be done for about $40,-
000, not including engineering costs.
It is absolutely ' necessary to build
that Mitchell Point road if the Colum
bla Highway is to be of any practical
value. Senator Day is wrong when he
says the grade is only 17 per cetrt.
The grade is precisely 28 per cent, and
he ought to know it.
Present Road Declared Dangerous.
"Senator Day Is right when he says
the present road over Mitchell Point
has been in existence for 50 years, but
It has not been used for 45 years. It
consists of nothing more than a trail.
It Is steep and dangerous and hangs
out over the railroad at an elevation
of about 700 feet. id hate to send
my family over it.
The plans for improving this road
provide for a maximum grade of less
than 5 per cent, it win connect up
the Columbia highway in Multnomah
County, upon which we have spent
several hundred thousand dollars and
which the people of Multnoman
County take so much interest and pride.
The Hood River people already nave
built a road connecting with our nign
way at the Multnomah County line ana
extending to Cascade Locks. From
Cascade Locks to Wyeth there is a good
road. From Wyeth to viento a new
road Is being built with funds accruing
from the J75.000 bond issue. From
Viento to Hood River there is a good
road wltn the exception of the barrier
at Mitchell Point
If the state takes Senator uay s ad
vice and falls to appropriate the money
for the Mitchell Point road, as It has
promised to do, the Columbia Highway
will end right there. All the money
spent by Multnomah County and by
Hood River county win serve to pro
duce only a scenic highway, but will
not be worth a cent so far as practi
cal benefits to the farmer and the tour
ist are concerned.
"Those are the facts In the case and
hope the Commission will consider
them.
ODGE HEAD IS COMING
I. BOAK TO ATTEND WOODMEN
CELEBRATION 1ST PORTLAND.
Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Organi
sation to Be Observed Several
Thousand Delea-ates to Attend.
I. I. Boak. of Denver, head consul of
the Woodmen of the World, will be the
central figure at a big celebration of
Woodmen to be held April 26 at the
Portland Masonic Temple. The meet
ing will be a state observancee of the
5th anniversary of the lodge, the
grand silver jubilee to be held in San
Francisco in August.
The Portland celebration will be an
event of more than passing Importance,
because it will bring several thousand
delegates to the city from throughout
the state and several visitors from
Washington and California. Inasmuch
as there are 17,000 members in Oregon,
of which between 000 and 7000 are
members of the Portland camps, a con-
clave of note is proposed and commit
tees have been appointed to work out
the plans of entertainment.
George Rossman is general chairman
of the committees and C B. Turlay is
secretary and treasurer. To their aid
they have called a large publicity com
mittee, headed by William Reidt, of
Webfoot Camp, and composed of the
following other members: J. O. Wilson,
Multnomah Camp; George L. Baker,
Portland Camp; J. J. Jennings, Pros
pect Camp; J. W. Boo the. Rose City
Camp; H. J. Blaesing, George Washing
ton Camp; L. W. Oren, Sunnyside Camp;
Z. T. Saulcer, Arleta Camp, and A. L.
Barbur. general representative.
The celebration will be a prologue
to the grand silver anniversary at San
Francisco August 11,- when thousands
of Woodmen from all over the country
will be In attendance.
Mr. Boak is one of the Idols of the
lodge, having been at the head for the
last 10 years. His visit to Portland
will be auspicious, inasmuch as he will
survey the progress of the Oregon
lodges and will be a guest of honor at
the big meeting of lodgemen.
There are eight camps in Portland
and these are preparing to send four
drill teams to the a.n Francisco cele
bration to take part in the competition
for the $1750 cash prize. These teams
are preparing for the event and some
of them have won enviable reputations
already. The flower of the lodges will
be selected for the contest and officials
of the local lodges are confident In
their undertaking.
Mr. Boak's position and personality
make his visit to Portland consequen
tial and the celebration planned in his
honor will be attended by officials of
the city, including the Mayor; offi
cials of the state, including probably
the Governor, and members of the
clergy, as well as prominent business
men in and out of the lodge. The cele
bration will be open to the public and
it is proposed to take in a class of 400
or 500 members at that time. There
are 152 camps in the state.
BOYS CAREER IS HALTED
FRAZIER HOME FUGITIVES, 13, AD
MIT WEEK OP ROBBERIES.
J case James Emulated, bat Woman In
BogRy Drives On. Heedless
of "Armed" Youths.
John Edgar and James Wilkins. two
13-year-old boys, who escaped from the
Frazier Detention Home a week agro,
were captured by Detectives Leonard
and Hill and Patrolman Leisy at Second
and Montgomery streets last night with
loot, which they confessed stealing
from four houses. The boys were
armed with revolvers and had been
sleeping in the open since their es
cape. The youngsters confessed robbing one
house, at 787 Water street, of a gold
watch, three, rings and $5 in money.
They left a bouquet of wild flowers
in payment.
"We intended to trade the flowers
to the woman for some food said
young Wilkins. "But she wasn't home,
so we helped ourselves, and left the
bouquet, anyway."
The other houses robbed, according
to the boys confession, were a res
idence on Council Crest, where they
secured a watch find chain and a flash
light; a building at the foot of Mont
gomery street, where they obtained the
revolvers, and a house in Washougal,
Wash., where they fetole some pies, a
watch and a small amount of money.
"We never held up anybody said
Edgar. "Of course, we talked about
being Jesse James when we got hun
gry, but '
"A nice Jesee James you'd be," in
terrupted Wilkins. "He tried to hold
up an old woman near Washougal, but
his revolver got stuck in his pocket
and he couldn't get it out.
'"Throw up your hands!' he yelled,
and jumped out in front of the buggy.
But the old woman just kept driving
along and paid no attention."
The boys said they passed one night
under a pile of tiling, "slapping each
other's faces to keep warm." Other
nights were passed on the roofs of
flat buildings and in bams and out
houses. The lads admitted that the
weather was cold for camping, but
maintained that they had a good time.
The youngsters had purchased a fry
ing pan, a set of knives and forks and
other supplies. These, with the loot,
were carried in a bag marked "O. N. G."
In large black letters.
The boys were sent back to the de
tention home last night.

CASES OF
RHEUMATISM
NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
East Less Meat.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down urlo acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which k-eps accumulat
ing and circulating thrcugh the sys
tem, eventually settling in the Joints
and muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
. At the first twinge 01 rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drinU before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This Is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac
tion, thus ridding tee Diood or these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent result? by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent Mthla-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial .

Piano will be delivered to your home, and the 3
per cent, $6 monthly, will keep it there; no more
necessary unless you wish to pay more. No inter
est as elsewhere, where your $6 monthly pay
ment with the usual 8 per cent interest would
require payment of, for instance, $7.66, since
$1.68 represents the interest for the first month,
etc. Do you begin to realize what the new Piano
Store, the Schwan Piano Co., stands for now?
And then observe and remember our prices are
lower, much lower, as- you will find when you
compare our $238 -this week no interest, new
Piano elsewhere with the $275 and interest, $d5.8 , ,0, - esr W.,lr

The Bond That Makes It Impossible for You to
Lose When Trading Here.
We guarantee the price of every Piano that
we sell to be 25 per cent less than the price
of the same quality at any other store on the
Coast.
We also guarantee the style, value, condition
and wear of every Piano to be exactly as
represented either in our store or in our ad
vertisements. We still further guarantee every purchase
to be a satisfactory transaction to the pur
chaser, as we do not consider the sale complete
until our patron is fully pleased. If, after
buying, you believe that any part of either the
letter or the spirit of this guarantee has been
violated, call on us immediately to rectify the
error. Or, if you prefer, make another selec
tion and we will make an exchange at our ex
pense. OUR WARRANTEE IS BACKED BY
$12,000,000.
