Commencement Week to Be
gin With Baccalaureate
( Sermon Next Sunday.
FESTIVITIES ARE DELAYED
Outsiders Put on Board for Oral
Tests to Check Up on Work.
Kxerclnes Slay Be Held
In Open Air.
The last week of studies for Reed
College seniors is at hand and while
the end of the year is supposed to be
particularly pleasant, as it is the first
class the members of the faculty are
postponing- their kind deeds for a week.
In the meantime the "exams" will be
coming along with monotonous regu
larity. Each senior has to take a final oral
examination before several members
of the faculty including his major pro
fessor and also some person not other
wise connected with the college. Most
of these oral "exams" already have
been held during the past few weeks
but there are a number scheduled for
this week.
The examinations last usually an
hour but in case the examiners have
failed to stick the student in that time
they are at liberty to stretch the time
out a little and redouble their efforts
to find out if there is anything he
does not know. In other cases they
find it necessary to stretch the time
In an. effort to find a question that
he can answer. Most of the seniors
have done fairly well on the oral
quizzes though a few have become
more or less "fussed" during the ordeal.
Outsider Check I'p on Work.
The presence of an outside person
tin the examining board serves to
check up on the work of each depart
ment and should have the effect of
preventing a department from going
stale and losing connection with the
progress in the particular field. The
idea of having several members of the
faculty on the examining board serves
to co-ordinate the work of the vari
ous departments.
Among the persons who have helped
In the examinations are Dr. C. II.
Chapman. Dr. George Rebec, Dr. Edwin
Conklln. Mrs. Mable Holmes Parsons,
and Dr. W. P. Boynton, all of the
ITniversitv of Oregon; R. L. Sabin.
Richard Slontague. Isaac Fwett, W. H.
Galvant. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Eliot, Dr.
A. I'. MacKlnlay, Dr. E. O. Sisson, F.
A. Olmsted, C. E. S. Wood, and W. I
Finley.
Each senior must present a thesis
In his major department covering the
results of some experimental Investi
gation. A number of the theses will
be published In scientific periodicals.
Jn the department of physics one
thesis already has been published in
the Physical Review and another ac

THE BILLION DOLLAR
MYSTERY
Episode Seventeen.
The pursuers of Mortimer Sar

him up for eighty rods of film.
"Halt:" cried a voice, and they
turned to find themselves look
ing Into the muzzle of a 42
centlmeter howitzer in the hands
of the mysterious young woman.
Under her direction the detec

shoved them Into the river with
a mocking laugh.
Then he turned and clasped
her in his arms for five feet of
film (the remainder was or
dered cut out by the censors
who object to longer kisses) and
they turned and hastened back
in search of Kranmus who had
been left unconscious in the
restaurant.

whereabouts of the billion dol

Another feature of the floral parade
prize list this year will be a grand
prize of $250 for the best decorated
car, or float in any class. The winner
of this prize will be eliminated from
participating; in any other prize. Mr.
Powers explains this change was made
because so many Portland people went
to a great expense to decorate their
cars.
The festival management has also
changed the prizes for the touring: car
class. This year there will be three
prizes. The first will be $150, the sec

a large number of cars were entered
in this class.

MILK BY-PRODUCTS
INDUSTRY SURVEYED

That Foreign Competition
Is Too Keen.
COST IS LOWER IN EUROPE
Biggest Problem Is to Find Market
for Condensed Article Cnder

Except to Alaka.
Development of the condensed milk
industry in the Pacific Northwest 1
confronted, by the most difficult of in
dustrial obstacles, According to the in
formation so far gathered by the de
partment of commercial and Industrial
survey of the University of Oregon
school of commerce, which has been
looking Into the possibilities of a world
market for milk by-products.
The survey has not yet secured full
statistics, but H. B. Miller, of Portland.
"director, says outlets for Increased milk
production may be found in malted
milk, tinned milk, sugar of milk and
powdered milk. There ia also hone of
a trade among the Chinese in skimmed
condensed milk.
The low coet of producing raw milk
in European countries is the obstruc
tion to extensive export of Western
Oregon and Western Washington con
densed mrik. The average European
dairy farm laborer receives about $8 a
month and board, compared with $30 a
month and board in dairying sections
in the Middle West, and as high as $15
a month and board in the dairy sections
of the Pacific Northwest.
Foreign Women Do Much of Work.
A great deal of the work in European
dairying districts is done by women.
and the- farmer's entire family usually
works In the field and does the milk
ing. The cost of feed and the cost of
milk handling thus sets up a differ
ential in favor of the European that
makes the condition almost entirely be
yond the control of the American man
ufacturer. Next to milk, the most important
Item producing condensed milk is sugar.
Most of the milk-producing countries
of Europe also have a large production
of beet sugar, England, Ireland and
Norway excepted. Even in these coun
tries the duties that are paid on the
sugar imports from Germany and
Austria-Hungary (In normal times) are
refunded where the sugar is used in
manufacturing condensed milk for ex
port. The American condensed milk
manufacturer must absorb the United
States duty.
The third most important material.
tin plate, also costs the American con
densed milk manufacturer more than
the European manufacturer because of
15 per cent ad valorem protective
duty, which represents about 50 cents
base box.
European Tariffs Heavy.
European countries are not only pro
tected in competition at home from
Northwest condensed milk by their
cheaper cost of production, but have
the further protection of heavy tariffs
on condensed and evaporated milk. The
Underwood tariff bill puts condensed
nilk and evaporated milk on the Amer
can free list and since Its passage there
has been heavy importation of these
products from Europe.
The war for a few months lessened
the volume of these importations, but
they have nearly resumed normal again.
In January. February and March, 191o,
for example, 50,000 cases came through
the port of New York, displacing lust
so many cases of native manufacture.
Tabulation of costs of producing raw
milk show the following:
United States. $1.56 a hundredweight;
Switzerland, $1.55; Norway, $1.50; Eng
land, $1.44: Germany. $1.44; Denmark.
$1.20; Holland, $1.09; Sweden. 99 cents;
Ireland, 95 cents.
The differential in favor of Ireland la
thus 61 cents a hundredweight, or
about 40 per cent. In favor of Den
mark, a heavy raw milk producer, it
is 36 cents. In all these countries there
is an enormous production of raw milk
far in excess of local and city con
sumption, which releases large sup
plies for the manufacture of condensed
UK. Good sou ana intensive cultiva
tion are the secrets of this heavy pro
duction. Market Is Need Under Tariff.
'The State of Oregon thua can not
exDort butter or condensed milk or
evaporated milk to countries where
these products come into direct, compe
tition with similar products from
Europe, neither can it export to Aus
tralia or to Siberia, On the contrary,
large quantities actually are brought
into the Pacific States from these two
countries last named." said Director II.
R. Miller.
"The problem under the present tariff
is thus to find a market for by-products.
We have a condensed milk market of
course in Alaska and among our own
people, but I do not see how we can
sot out to develop a vast raw milk
production for condensed milk manu
facture in this state and Washington
so long as we have to compete with
present conditions. Skimmed condensed
milk, a thin and unnutritious by
product, is still in demand among the
Chinese, but it remains to be seen how
good a market could be worked up.
There are comparatively few cows 'in
China."

MR. DALY IS CRITICISED
ATTEMPT TO MAKE ECONOMY SHOW.
IU AT rCBLIC EXPENSE ANGEKS.
Maps Drawn By Fire Hares a Indicate
Where Hydrants hould Go,
bat ot One ls Put In.
That City Commissioner Daly has
stored up much trouble for himself
by following out the policy of con
structing new water mains without
putting in fire hydrants, ostensibly for
the purpose of matting the Water
Bureau operation costs look small, ls
apparent from the complaints which
are beginning to reach the City Council
from various parts of the city.
Although the practice always has
been to put in the fire nydrants when
mains are constructed Commissioner
Daly adopted the policy last November
of leaving off the fire hydrants regard
less of how badly they are needed for
lire protection in residence districts.
Construction of new mains has gone
ahead all Winter, many mile of mains
having been laid, yet not a single fire
hydrant has been put in on these mains.
And this in spite of the fact that hun
dreds of hydrants all ready to install
are piled in the Water Bureau storage
yards on the East Side.
Ordinarily there would have been con
structed between last November and
the present 250 to 300 hydrants. These
would have cost about $23,000. This
amount will go to make up the "econo
my" showing of the Water Bureau for
the year. It will be credited as $J3.00U
saved.
The first district to protest against
the hydrantless mains was Lents. A
Bull Kun main was put through Lents,
a distance of more than two miles,
without a single fire hydrant being put
in. Although the Lents district is well
settled and contributes annually to the
water funds and Is paying for the
water mains constructed there, the dis
trict is Just as badly off from a fire
standpoint as it was before the ma'n
was laid. The Lents residents appeared
before the Council last week to protest
against the Daly policy of putting in
no hydrants.
A part of the Irvington district Is
in the same boat. A delegation will
appear before the Council Wednesday
to ask the installation of hydrants on
mains laid there. It is expected other
districts will be up in arms as soon
as it becomes realized fully that the
Daly policy means no fire protection in
new districts.
The Fire Bureau Is much interested
in the proposition. Continuously since
last November the places where fire
hydrants are needed on new mains have
been designated on plans furnished by
the Water Bureau, but not one of these
hydrants has been Installed.

MARSKFIELD, Or. May 23. (Spe
cial.) On arriving this morning from
San Francisco, the steamer Adellno
Smith put lines aboard the stranded
schooner Claremont and spent an hour
in fruitless efforts to pull the vessel
from the rocks.
It is believed impossible to save the
craft and tons of her deck cargo have
been picked up about the beaches, the
drums of gasoline being the common
est salvage. About the wreck the sea
ls unusually smooth and quantities of
general mercnandise are being
taken off.
The Claremont stands on an even keel
today and launches and tug boats ap
proach her easily. The hull filled with
water yesterday in a couple of hours
after she struck and the fires were ex
tinguished. Despite a heavy downpour
of rain hundreds of spectators went on
excursions to the scene of the wreck.
Alfred Hart, of the Hart-Wood com
pany, and Miss Olivetta Faulkner, who
were aboard the Claremont, left thi
morning on the Breakwater for Port
land. Captain Benson ls still here, and
most of the crew. They will leave on
the first boat for ran Francisco.
