I'anama-Pacific Kxposltlon Grounds, San Francisco. May 2 1. The rainy weather which held the exposition in it.i gloomy prip for ten days ended Friday and left smiling blue fkie.x and flirty white clouds to bless special Oregon tate buildlns entertain ing last week.

The Oregon State building luncheons always make a great big hit, and yet all these distinguished guests from all parts of the world have the unique ex perience of getting exactly the same luncheon that the homo folks have. They are served by the Oregon Agricul tural College home economics seniors. The guests seem to catch the sentiment that radiates from the Oregon board, at ml they expressed Friday the most en thusiastic delight over the luncheon. Oregon entertained the same evening for the officers of the battleship Ore iron, with a reception and dance. In the receiving line were Mrs. Thomas U. Jlailey and Mrs. Charles -. trray, tire official hostesses: Mr. rikI Mrs. O. M. Clark, ami Miss Mabel W'ithyeombe. of Oregon: the officers of the battleship Oregon. Major-t ieneral and Mrs. Mur ray, and .Senator Chamberlain. ."More Than ."M 1'renent. The rooms were profusely lecorated with Oregon roses, ferns and small evergreen trees, flags and bunting front the battleship Oregon, and the Oregon baud supplied the music for dancing. It was one of the gayest, most festive evenings In the history ot exposition entertaining'. More than 000 guests responded to the invitations, many Oregonians being among them, also many notables now visiting the fair. The famous punch bowl presented to the battleship by the mate of Oregon was utilized. The Police Band, of Portland, visited the Oregon building and delighted visi tors with their music. Commissioner Clark has extended them an invitation to mske the Oregon building their head quarters. Mrs. Charles A. Gray, of F.ugene. has arrived. She is the alternating hostess with Mrs. Thomas G. Hailey, and will begin her official duties the first of J ti n e. Miss Mabel Withye6mbe left Satur day for her home at Salem.

Allan ICaton, director of the art ex hibit for Oregon, accompanied by his family, has arrived for a month's stay. He is adding a number of exhibits which he collected on his return to Oregon, livery one loves the art room, but perhaps no one expresses more pleasure In it than have the school chil dren of this past week, who have visit ed the exposition 6000 strong each day, all of whom have been guided through the Oregon building. France dedicated her building some time ago, but it has not been opened. So many art treasures have arrived to further enrich the Fine Arts palace that an additional wing is to be built at once safely to house them. Visitors at the fair will find much more to enjoy now. Transportation day afforded an inter esting contrast In modes of travel: everything from an ox cart to the latest makes ot automobiles was in the pa rade. The Oregon Agricultural College seniors filled three handsome up-to-date cars, representing Oregon. G0ETHALS GOES ON STAND Ki-Prosulnct Taft Maj Also Testify in Canal-Fraud Case. NEW YOrtK. May 24.

I,ONION May 24. . message to the Kxtbange Telegraph Company from Copenhagen snys pamphlets are being distributed throughout Sweden to further a movement for the interven tion of that country in the war against Itussin. These pamphlets urge that Sweden step in at once to secure the inde pendence of Finland by an attack on liussia or by other means. NEW CHANNELS DEVELOPED I rnnt Iniied From First Ppe. tatives of the United States at the con ference. The opening day was devoted chi.fly to specchmaklng. President Wilson be- 4,an an unequivocal declaration that the conference was not for the exploitation of the invited nations, but for a union of Interests in which the United Statei will not try to make use of the others, but to labor to the advantage of all. "It would be a very great thing." said the rresidenf, "If the Americas could add to the distinction which they al ready wear of showing the way to peace, to permanent peace. The way to peace, for us, at any rate, is mani fest. It is the kind of rivalry that does not Involve aggression. It is the knowl fdge that men can be of the greatest service to one another and nations of the greatest service to one another when the jealousy between them is merely a jealousy of excellence, and when the basis of their intercourse ia friendship." The only private American represen tative who spoks today was Frank A. Vanderlip, of the National City Bank of New York. Mr. Vanderlip declared that at the present time the National banks of the U nited States, as shown by their last reports to the Controller of the Currency, have a total surplus over the legal reserve requirements of more than J700.000.000. and that the state banks probably have a "similar plethora." "That means." said he, "that we have a perfectly enormous capital for the ex pansion of loans, probably enough to expand loans of J2. 000, 000,000 or $3,000, 000.000. so If we are in a state of un preparedness for war we are prepared to extend our financial relations abroad and for the development of banking credits at home."

EJrctrlral Stoime Prevent WIreleas Re ports From ln.l njc From Europe to America. NEW YORK, May 24. Wireless com munication between the United States and Germany has been severely handi capped and probably will continue so until about July 1 by the static condi tions prevailing in the North Atlantic at this time of the year. The wireless station at Sayville. L. I.. the receiving station of the Atlantic Communication Company, the German wireless concern. within the last week or two has been Isolated fre quently from the sending plant at Nauen. Germany, it was learned to day, and the same situation exists at Tuckerton, X. J., the sending station for messages to German!. Such Jnes sages as are received at Sayville are for the most part fragmentary or often impossible to decipher. The electrical activities of the aurora borealis, accompanied by electrical storms over the wireless routes, are the cause of the difficulty. It is ex plained, and may be expected to con tinue several weeks. This means that until normal conditions again prevail uncensored communication between Germany and the outside world will be limited. The news agencies meantime have been obliged to depend on London for regular transmission of the daily Ger man War Office statement.

COST TO REACH $1,100,000 Head of Pittsburg- Concern Pledges Loyalty to City, Promises to Fa vor Ixx-al Labor and Trade; Predicts Bright Future. ROSEBURG, Or., May 24. (Special.) Just before leaving here last night for Portland, en route to Fittsburg, Pa., S. A. Kendall, a member of the firm of Kendall Bros., who propose to con struct a standard gauge railroad from Roseburg to the line of the Cascade National forest reserve, in the fCorth TTmpqua River and erect a modern saw- "I mur in this city, announced that all differences existing between the Rose- Our? City Council and his firm had been settled satisfactorily and that he felt confident the boni issue of $300, 000 would carry when submitted to a vote on June 4. He said: Reardfnja: the lease for opratinjr thi railroad, which is to be entered into by the city Council and Kendall Rroa., we have agreed that the city of Rosbur?, as well as oiirselvfa, ehall have the rturht to make a sale of thl railroad at any timo with the understanding- that our right in the matter of rates on lops and lumber, and service to be rendered, shall be continued ; also that w shall be relmburfwd for all moneys ex pended in the construction and equipment of th is road, as shown by our books. The CMty of Roseburg is alo to receive bark the investment which It has in the railroad, and In case of a sale our lease Is to ter minate. Local Labor Favored. . AVe will acree to employ local labor so far as possible in the construction and oper ation of both our Kawmill plant and the rail road, and will give preference thereto. It Is not our purpose to import foreign labor or "floaters' but consider that Jtoseburjt's in terests are ours and we will give the local work interna n preference. It Is our purpose to make Roseburg; our business and banking headquarters. The magnitude of our proposed opera Ions In Iloneburg will be such that we will carry deposits In all of the local banks: and we also propose to patronize the local merchants wherever they ran reasonably take care of ii ur requiri'mon ts. It is not our purpose to do business with Interest outside of Rose buna: where it ran possibly bo done here. Active Interest J'ledged. The Kendall holdings in th ts sec I ion. re ferring to both our mill operations and the railroad, will be ton I rolled as a matter of majority stockholding, by myself and brother, J. I... Kendall; and while we ex pect to have other associates in connection with our investment here 1 shall be presi dent of the company ami virtually have the management of it a f fairs. I make th is 'statement to assure the people that it is the purpose of my brother and myseir to con tinue here ami be personally connected with this enterprise. I am satisfied that the enterprises which we a re starting here are merely the fore runner of many others which are bound to come with the development of the vast em pire of timber wealth which is located in this county, and a large p roportion of which Is tributary to Roseburg and to this proposed railroad. I believe that Roseburg wilt be the center of the lumber Industry of South ern Oregon within a very few years, and the possibility of bringing forth the Umber will unquestionably attract capital her lines, m that Roseburg will not on!e a large lumber manufacturing point, but will have many other Industrial a-t I v it ire, with their attendant payrolls and prosperity. Investment to Re 9I.IOO.OOO. The railroad which will be about 3S miles in lengrth, will represent an ex penditure of approximately $750,000, while the sawmill will cost in the neighborhood of $350,000. These figures do not Include ma ny auxil iary plants which the firm proposes to establish here within the next two years. The mill will have a daily capacity of 300, 000 feet of finished lumber and will be operated by electricity generated by a steam plant." The plans for the mill were prepared by Mr. Jobson, an Eastern sawmill designer, who accom panied Mr. Kendall on his Western trip. When Mr. Kendall left last night he was elated over the prospects of be ginning work on the sawmill and rail road at an ea rly date. It is Kendall Bros. intention to complete at least 12 miles of the road this Summer. The builders will accept the bonds as Rose burg's share in financing the road. The line will be owned and controlled by Kendall Bros, and the City of Roseburg, each having an equal voice in its op eration and management. WILSON HEARS OF CHINA V. M. C. A.

BELGIAN SPEECH FORBID Panama Mayor Acts After Oermans Make Protest. . PANAMA. May 24. Julio Arjona. Mayor of Panama, today declined to permit Jules de Lannoy, a Belgian, to deliver an address here on the subject of Germany's invasion of Belgium. M. de Lannoy has been commissioned by the Belgian government to interest the latin-American countries in the fate of Belgium and it is said that the Mayor's action in refusing to permit him to speak was that the address might be considered a breach of Pana ma's neutrality. German residents of the city had previously made a protest to the Mayor against allowing M. de Lannoy to make a public speech and, it is asserted, also had informed Senor Arjona that a band of 100 Germans had been formed for a hostile demonstration in case the Belgian commissioner was permitted to carry out his programme. 1000 I.etteri flea for Frank.
