17 THE MORNING OREGON IAN, ERIDAT, APRIL V, 1915, BO! PAYS TRIBUTE TO COLUMBIA RIVER fit's Worth It," Is Defense When Caught Charging Ad mission Fee at Fair. MASTERPIECE IN PLACE Reproduction Worked Out in In finite Detail for Benefit or Visi tors to Oregon Building Old Friends Work Together. BT ANNE SHANNON HON ROB. EXPOSITION GROUNDS. San Fran cisco. April . The small boy of the Oregon buildina- and Jensen the Dane, who has been working out the infinite detail of the Columbia River reproduc tion, -which lies along the Marina north of the Oregon building, are close friends. Jensen the Dane has worked hour afer hour sometimes all night with that indefatigable patience pos sible only to one wholly lost in his art, to reproduce every needle, dome, minaret and island of the pinnacled Columbia. The small boy has knelt by his side, in fascinated absorption, as islands were lifted from the water, mountains banked up on shore, boats set afloat, trains started through tun nels and fish turned into the stream. His eyes jtrcw more wonder-struck, his absorption increased, and his ad miration for his friend almost burst the bounds as the days passed and the work progressed. At last the day came when it was pronounced finished. The guides in the Oregon building-, showing the stream of people out the west doors, began directing them to the Columbia River. Later in the afternoon there was a treat commotion out by the river. Word came to the father of the small boy. that he was needed. Result Welt -Worth Seeing. ' The father, who is exceedingly tall, reached the scene in time to see the small boy standing by. the entrance to the "Columbia River," straining his small slight body up with all his might, as he mecaplioned through trumpeted hands: "Ten cents, 10 cents, right this way the best show on the grounds 10 cents!" It was a spiel fully worthy the zone, but that tall father made as few steps between the Oreson building and the small boy as could be managed by the longest athlete, and seizins son by the coat. collar, transplanted his anatomy to private quarters in the Oregon build ing and emptied his pockets of dimes. "What do you mean," demanded the Irate father, "charging all these peo plcIO cents to see the Columbia Riverr The small boy stood his ground. He faced the tall man breathing chastise ment in every pore, with upturned face .and fearless open eyes: "It's worth it." he asserted, defiantly. The small bey is missed from the Oregon building. He is taking his punishment at home: but every one who knows him has put in a plea for his restoration to favor. For what greater tribute could he have paid his friend's masterpiece? I can add nothing more to our little mascot's summing up of Jensen's Co lumbia. River: "It's worth It" worth a Tisit from any one. Damon and Pytulaa Enjoy Holiday. Oreeon lias her Damon and Pythias. Dr. Charles tttinstnore has been here some weeks, representing Independence and Willamette Valley publicity in terests: Dr. J. R. M. Bell, his close friend, has just arrived to be in charge of the Oregon educational exhibit for April. Tnese two men, close neighbors in Oreson, have been Intimate friends and comrades for years. Both are clergymen, both are 32d degree Masons and Shrincrs, and both have tastes for travel., literature and the arts. They spent a year recently traveling to gether through Kurope. Asia and Africa.

Dr. Bell has the distinction of being the oldest Masonic grand chaplain in the world in point of service. He is now serving his 39th consecutive year. Dr. Foster, president of Reed College, with his wife has been spending a few davs at the fair, principally at the Ore gon building, where lie is much im pressed with the opportunity for right publicitv for Oregon's schools. He is nrrsiiging for a Reed College exhibit. Dr. Foster was pleased with the entire exhibit, but ho was particularly im pressed with the art room. "This." he aid. "really indicates a people its de velopment artistically." He went on to say that strangers would be more im pressed by the evidences of culture, by the evidences of good schools, than by any other feature. Another prominent educator of the Northwest who visited the fair, and es pe:inlly the Oregon building, the past week, is Miss Julia Chamberlain, of rortland. She was associated with Dr. i latch, "resident of the Washington State t'niversity at Seattle, for many years, as preceptress, and during her long career as a teacher has been con nected with the Oregon University at Salem and the Washington State Col lege at rullman.

Aril 8. (Special.) That the famous Italian prune Is again coming Into its own in Welser Valley la proved by the fact that many acres are being replanted this season with this variety. The growing of prunes in this section is again increasing rap idly, and if it continues the production promises to exceed the apple crop In the near future. Two thousand trees have been purchased and will be plant ed on the farms of W. M. Pearson, J.' L.. Michaels, W. K. Adams, J. H. War ren. Willoughby Adams and S. A. Pen nick, all within a radius of a few miles from Weiser. Some excellent records were made in the Italian prune production in the valley last year and tiie outlook for this season is far more promising. As an illustration of what may be expect ed Mr. Pearson last year cleared fS3 from 200 trees and other growers re ported a profit of 86 from a single tree. Several years ago the prune out put in this valley each year waa enor mous Many orchards later gave way to the apple, llfalfa and other products. PERSONALMENTION. O. C.

Southern Buyers Will Have to Come to Xorth.- for Xeeded Require ments Government AYill Plaee Ijarge Order Here. Not only are the indications good for a clean up of oats supplies here, but barley stocks on the Coast will prove amallet at the end of the season than was thought would be the case. Word was received from California yes terday of the sale of another cargo of oats to go to Australia. This will take care of the surplus In that state, and southern buyers will find It necessary to come here for needed supplies during the remainder of the season. As the Government Is soon to place an order for 8000 tons of oats for the use of the Army in the Philippines and Hawaii, there is a possibility of short age of oats in the Northwest before the new crop is available. California's big barley crop of last year la ranidlv dieaDDearing. It Is figured that after the tonnage now under engagement is filled, stocks on hand will bjj 10.000 tons less than last year at the same date. Both oats and barley have been holding verv steady In the local market In the past two weeks and the undertone now is be coming stronger. Spot oats were bid for a quarter higher at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday. May oats and barley bids were unchanged. The wheat market was inactive and steady.
