THE BIOTrVTXG OREGOXIAN. 3IOXDAY, MARCH 23, 1015. 11 SLAB OF MANZAN1TA INSURED 200 Most Valuable Bit of Oregon Wood in Existence Is Feat ure of Exposition. AUTOISTS TO SEE STATE .Hundreds of Inquiries Received Daily From Excursionists Who Desire to Go to San Fran cisco Via Northwest; BI RALPH J. STAEHLI. OREGON BUTLDINO. Exposition Grounds. San Francisco. March 21. (SpeclaL) There is still another dis tinction for the Oregon Building which has caused no little wonder ajnontr the Exposition sightseers. The building has become the home of the most valuable piece of manzanlta in the world and a crowd of curio hunt ers has been attracted. Marvzanita is & wood. The piece in the Oregon Building Is four inches wide, six feet long- and about an inch thick. The commission has insured it for $2000. The mere mention of the wood in a Ban Francisco paper brought several men who have searched the world for auch things. One man was a Ber liner and he is now in correspondence with Bert Kessinger, of Rogue River, with the idea of gaining possession of that piece of wood. The mere fact of finding a piece of manxanita is not so wonderful, but the length and size of the timber Is the cause of all the Interest. Manzanlta is almost a brilliant red. The grain has the fineness of silk and the texture the densest Known. Autohsts to See Portfaad. A talk with Ferdinand Gates, who has charge of the auto travel for the Exposition, reveals the fact that more than 100 auto parties have actually made up their schedules and are coming to San Francisco by way of Portland and the Northwest. Mr. Gates receives hundreds of in quiries every day relative to the routes to the Coast and the things worth seeing while here. The erro neous general impression prevails that there are no roails in Oregon by which -the autolct can make the trip from Portland to California. The numbers coming are astonishing. The tentative figures for the North west do not include those who will travel North after having been here or those who will make further plans when they have spent part of the year in this country. Allen Eaton, director jot the art ex hlbit, has placed on the second floor a long collection of Kiser colored photo graphs which show all the spots of In terest along a tour through the main highways of the state. All are easily reached and Include nuch points as the Three Sisters and the falls along the Columbia Highway, starting at the South end of the building. Mount Shasta, on the border line, looms up In a composition of blue and green. Mount Jefferson and some of the water falls of that country are shown. Those who have a liking for moun tain climbing may see some of the ice fields of this mountain of Southern Oregon. The Three Sisters are shown as they appear from the road through Central Oregon. Striking Views are Shoiva. The Columbia Highway is .-epre-eented by Multnomah Falls. Oneonta Gorge and views from Crown Point and other scenic spots on the road. The Willamette Valley is shown In all its variety and Tillamook is brought out as an auto tourist attraction by . some of the views which may be had from the highway along the Oregon coast. Crater Lake is represented by several striking views. William X Flnley's game films, which Bhow members of the Portland fishing fraternity catching salmon at the Willamette River Falls and the salmon jumping those falls are much In demand. They have been shown before several of the San Francisco associations of sportsmen and more than one has said that some day in June will find him there matching his skill against that of "Doc" McFarlund and H. B. Van Duzer and other noted habitues of the spray zone in the shadow of the falls. This collection of films has been augmented by one from the Oregon City Chamber of Commerce, which shows a huge gathering of the fisher men and was taken on a day when the 20 and 30-pounders were biting.

SMALLPOX SCARE AT END fet-asidc Health Officer Announces Disease Has Been Stamped Out. SEASIDE. Or.. March 51. (Special.) Dr. Frank Van Doren. the new health officer, announced yesterday that the smallpox outbreak here was almost stamped out. No new cases had been reported in 20 days, and he says that the seven persons in quarantine at the old Seaside House would be released within a few days. Dr. Van Doren and his assistants rounded up all suspects and placed them under rigid quarantine. Owing to the fact that some stricken with the disease did not call In physicians, the disease" had an excellent chance to spread. As soon as a quarantine station was established the disease was checked.

The Johan Poulson brought the two sailing ships from Youngs Bay. near Astoria, where they have been inactive for many months.

LONGER TRUST WANTED CHIEF NO-SHIRT TO GO TO WA8H , INGTON TO MAKE FLEA. Head of Walla Walla Indians to Ask That Ffitr Yean Be Added to Period In Wklea Laads Are Tied Up. PENDLETON, Or.. March 21. (Spe cial.) Chief No-Shirt, of the Walla Walla tribe of Indians, accompanied by several tribesmen, expects to leave next week for Washington. D. C, to try to Induce Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, to grant an additional extension of oO years to the trust period for their lands. The original trust period for the In dian lands on the Umatilla Indian Reservation began in 1899. and was to extend 25 years or until 1924. During this period the lands are being held in trust for the Indians oy tne uovern ment. No taxes are levied and the In mans ro I, w their titles to the lands under certain restrictions prescribed by the Indian DeDartmenL Some of the older Indians do not be lieve the 25-year period is sufficiently long. They believe the welfare of the Indians makes it necessary that it be extended. If their request is grantea the trust period will not expire until 1974. Some of the most valuable wheat land in Umatilla County is included within the Umatilla Reservation. It is not farmed by the Indians themselves, but Is leased to white farmers for high rentals. The Indians thus are enabled to live in ease without being compelled to work. Three tribes of Indians are located on the reservation. They are the Walla Walla, Umatilla and Cayuse. Chief No-Shirt expects represent tives of the Yakima, Nez Perce and Fort Hall Indians to accompany mm to Washington.
