After having spent two weeks view
Ing the "beauties of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition and attending the sessions
of the Pan-American medical conven
tion. Dr. A. E. Rockey, of Portland,
returned yesterday brimming over
with Draise for Oregon's showing at
the fair: with the success of the medl
cal convention and with suggestions
for the Portland officials who are to
build the local auditorium. . Dr.
Kockey says the new auditorium in
San Francisco Is a failure and Port
land should profit by the California
citv's experience.
Dr. Kockey is enthusiastic about the
beauty of the architecture, sculpture.
paintings, colors, lighting and setting
of the buildings at the exposition, botn
in detail and as a whole. He' said it
was the most wonderful spectacle, the
world has ever seen.
"The Oregon building, with Jts
st rone contrast in appearance to the
others, was a subject of much favor
able comment." said Dr. Rockey yes
terday. "Among the latter is the
book of Eugene Neuhausen, an art
teacher at Berkeley, on the art of the
exposition. He devotes several pages
to a shallow and most unkind criti
cism of this great building.
"If only Colonel C. E. S. Wood's
masterful reply could be printed as an
appendix in the book, those who now,
r in the future, read it without see
ing the building for themselves would
not be deceived. It is unfortunate
that a state university should lend
dignity to the vaporing of a critic
whose knowledge of the history of
architecture and of forestry is so su
perficial. DistlnKaislied Doctors Attend.
"Congress had made an appropria
tion of $10,000 for the expenses of the
secretary's office of the Pan-American
medical convention. It was attended
by many distinguished physicians and
surgeons from the United States, Can
ada and Central and South America.
Mexico being the only American re
public without a representative. Sev
eral of these men were Senators In
their own countries. In South Ameri
ca the medical profession is more in
terested in affairs of state than here.
"The American Medical Association
had an attendance of about 2000. Both
of these great associations held their
meetings, though in separate weeks,
in San Francisco's new civic . center
auditorium.
"The scientific work of the various
sections was much embarrassed by
the wretchedly bad acoustic properties
of the assembly halls in this architec
turally beautiful building. The word
itself would suggest that an audi
torium was a place to hear, but in
this respect from one end to the other
the San Francisco auditorium is a dis
mal failure.
Hint Given Local Committer.
"Before the committee in charge of
the building of our own auditorium
makes its initial step the sound-producing
qualities of the various rooms
should have the attention ' of an ex
pert in acoustics.
"In some of the smaller halls of the
San Francisco auditorium the defects
have been temporarily improved by
hanging festoons of pillow-case mus
lin over the entire ceilings. The bad
acoustics in the main hall have been
"cured," as they call it there, at a
cost of 111.000. This was told me by
the superintendent of the building,
who said that they expected to spend
about $20,000 in curing acoustic de
fects. "The main hall alone Is almost as
large as the entire building proposed
for the Portland Auditorium. It is
190 feet square and extends through
the entire fcur stories of the build
ing. It has s. seating capacity of
10,000 persons.
: "The building contains ten smaller
halls with seating capacity of from
200 to 1200. There are 19 committee
rooms, seating from 30 to 125. The
cost of the building and equipment
will be tl, 250,000.
"The architectural features are
most admirable. The paneled walls
are arranged ta receive the many
magnificent mural decorations from
the exposition. These have all been
done on canvas of corresponding size
and will make a most glorious finish
for this great structure.
"Sousa's band played on alternate
nights at dinner at Old Faithful Inn
on the exposition grounds.
"In this immense hall, which will
seat 1000 persons at tables and which
is three stories in height, the acous
tics are perfect. The softest notes of
the flute in solo were distinctly audi
ble at the remotest table. After the
dinner I had a conversation with
Sousa. whom I have knowy personally
for many years, on the subject of
acoustics. He said he enjoyed play
ing in Old Faithful Inn because the
acoustics were so good. He .-.aid. also,
that the most perfect acoustics of any
auditorium hall that he knew of in
this country was at Milwaukee. Wis.
With such a statement from a man
like Sousa would it not be well for
our committee to look into the acous
tic details of the Milwaukee Audi
torium?" Dr. Rockey said that notwithstand
ing all the beauties of the exposition
and of California, he was most iappy
to be once more, in the balmy air and
among the green hills of Oregon.

Purity of Supply Winn Seven Medals,

As far as pure milk is concerned,
Portland is on the world's map in
bright red colors, declares City Health
Officer Marcellus, who 4ias just re
turned from the Panama-Pacific Ex
position, where he went with the sam
ples of mflk from Portland which won
the highest world honors for purity.
Dr. Marcellus considers that Port
land could receive no greater health
honors than to get first place in the
National contest for purity of the gen
eral milk supply. The contest was
participated in by 50 states and prov
inces of the United States and Canada.
"We won seven medals and are
likely to get three more before the
scoring is completed," said Dr. Mar
cellus yesterday. "I expect Portland
to receive first, second and third

MRS. REX M. PRATT.
Announcement of the marriage of Miss Frances Marian Harris and Rex. M.
Pratt, which took, place on May 24, caused surprise among ' the friends of
the couple. The bride was a student at Lincoln High School, a member of
the June class of 1915. She chose to marry. in May, but kept her little
romance a profound secret until after the graduating. exercises last week.
Now that the news has become known, the pretty co-ed bride and her
husband are being showered with good wishes. Mrs. Pratt Is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Harris. 428 Thirteenth street. She graduated in the
commercial course at Lincoln High Sc hool last Wednesday. Mr. Pratt is a
mdsician and is known in fraternal circles.
a full point higher score than our
nearest competitor, Seattle. There was
not this much difference between the
next cities in the order of the ratings.
"Co-operation on an educational
basis between the dairymen and milk
producers of Portland and vicinity ana
the milk inspection division of the
City Health Bureau were responsible
for Portland's victory. Our milk in
spection service has been conducted on
the basis of educaticn first and prose
cution last.
"Milkmen have been taught how to
produce clem and pure milk. As a
result of this we made a showing in
the contest that fairly astounded those
who made the tests. When It is con
sidered that milk with 100,000 or 150,
000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter is
considered good and in this contest
Portland entered many samples of milk
that had 'ess than 100 bacteria to the
cubic centimeter, the purity of Port
land's milk can be seen."

WORK IS PROJECTED.

Operations la Predicted.
With harvest time drawing near and
many large construction projects
either under way or to be started
shortly, there soon will be work for
every able-bodied man in Oregon if
there is not already.
One of the most important of the
construction projects, especially from
the point of providing work for large
numbers of men, is the hardsurfacing
of 66 miles of Multnomah County high
way, which began last week. Prac
tically all the contractors are expected
to be at work by the first of next
week. Their contracts aggregate more
than $1,000,000 and a large proportion
of this sum will be expended directly
for labor.
One railway construction project is
already under way and two others are
to be started soon. The one under way
is the completion of the Willamette-
Pacific Railway, a subsidiary of the
Southern Pacific, to Marshfield on Coos
Bay.
J. D. Farrell, president of the O.-W.
R. & N. Company, announced a few
days ago that the company will build
this year a 30-mile extension of the
Vale-Riverside line in Central Oregon.
-Robert E. Strahorn has also an
nounced -for this year the electrifica
tion of 43 miles of rail line - between
Whl'teson and Corvallls.
Another large railroad contract on
which many men will be required is
that for the construction of terminals
for the O.-W. R. & N. Company at Pilot
Rock, Or. This contract has been
awarded to Twohy Bros, for $200,000.
Bin will be opened next ednesday
for the building of the $100,000 Frank
lin High School.
Within the next 30 days, unless Gov
ernment red tape intervenes again, as
it has done more than once already,
bids will be called for the building of
Portland's new Postoffice, for which
$1,000,000 was appropriated.
Another possibilty in the way of con
struction is the Portland Auditorium.
BOYS OFF TO CAMP
Y. M. C. A. Party of 32 Leaves
for Spirit Lake. '
BOAT IS TAKEN TO KELSO
Hike From Near Castle Hock Into
Mountainous Country Begins To
day Officers to Be Elected
Soon Other Trips Planned.
When the steamer Kellogg left yes
terday morning on its trip to Kelso,
Wash., it carried the first party of boys
who will pass the Summer at the T. M.
C. A. oys" camp on the. south shores
of Spirit Lake.
Led by J. C.Meehan, boys' secretary,
and with 20-pound haversacks strapped
to .their backs, the 32 lads - left the
association building at 7 o'clock yes
terday on the first leg of their trip into
the Columbia Mational forest for the
Summer - outing. Last night -they
camped seven miles out of Castle Rock,
Wash., and early today take up the
hike of 47 miles over the mountainous
country to the association cabin.
For several months the lads have
been learning lessons in woodcraft and
have been instructed in fire building,
tent pitching and other essentials to a
life in the open.
Log Cabin Heady for Party.
The association has completed a large
log cabin on the banks of Spirit Lake,
where the boys will pass rainy . days
and where some of them expect to com
plete courses of study. At night there
will be meetings around a gigantic
campnre, where songs, stories of the
events of the day and recitations will
be the feature of the closing hours be
fore taps.
There will be hikes over the moun
tains and along the lakes, fishing in
the mountain streams and expeditions
to a dozen or more peaks that are with
in hiking distance of the cabin.
Almost innumerable mountain lakes
are within a few miles of the camp,
and each of these will be visited by the
lads while they are on the outing.
More Than 10O to Visit' Camp.
More than 100 boys will be taken on
the trip this Summer. The other parties
will leave weekly after July 12. Mr.
Meehan, P. F. A. Roche and Harrison
Huggins were the leaders in the party
which left yesterday. The force will
be augmented when the other parties
arrive in camp, and every feature of
Summer activities will be regulated by
the association officials.-
There will be a camp election of
officers soon after the lads arrive, and
candidates . for governor, prosecuting
attorney, judge, sheriff and councilmen
were being put forward by .their friends
before the expedition left yesterday.
