OREGON EXPOSITION BUILDING
Ean Francisco. July 27. (Special.)
The cosmopolitanism of San Francisco
and the exposition is proved, if. it
needed proof. In the enormous crcwds
that welcomed ex-President Roose
velt, ex-Secretary of State Bryan, and
the Llbertv Bell. Colonel Roosevelt
went through all the exposition build
lngs like a streak of lightning, keep
ing his guard and companions on i
quick trot. After he left there was i
sudden dropping into seats and mop
oinnr of brows: but. anyway, he had
seen the show.
Ex-Secretary Bryan returned last
night to deliver a speech before the
Commonwealth Club In the Scottish
Rite Temple and for a case of logan
berry Juice, which reached him at his
hotel in time for dinner. It was sent
from the Oregon building with Ore
gon's compliments.
Students and Maiamm Dine.
The Commissioners" party Friday
night honoring the Oregon Agricul
tural College and University of Oregon
students now in the building was well
attended. The battleship Oregon sup
plied the music and the famous Oregon
punchbowl. An invitation was extended
to the Mazama Club members, now in
San Francisco, and many were present.
The Mazamas have made the Oregon
building headquarters, and from this
center radiated -over the grounds. Fit
teen, with the president, J. E. Bro-
naugh, dined together the other even
lng, afterward scaling all the pinnacles
and peaks of the Zone. They are hav
ing a great time, despite sunburn and
the annual peeling.
Many members of the Portland Turn
Verein have visited the Oregon build
ing. Portland won fresh honors
through the Portland teams, Joe
Luckey taking first prize for the
Javelin throw, at 145 feet, and second
prize for the hop, skip and Jump. W
Thomas won first In the medicine ball
throw at 101 feet.
From Oregon Commissioner r.nd Mrs
Logan and Mrs. Charles A. Gray,
hostess, attended the dinner in the
California building in honor of ex
President Roosevelt. It-was an elab
orate affair, as to decorations and
menu, and the speeches were brilliant.
With one exception politics was not
mentioned, the speakers contenting
themselves with eulogizing the exposi
tion and its makers.

the direction of Garnet Holme and the
patronage of the Drama League of
San Francisco. The play was given
In the open, with giant redwoods for
wings and the natural amphitheater

The most beautiful feature of the
whole thing was the coming of the

frequent occasions.
Department Heads Organized.
The organization of men and women
department heads in the building,
whose purpose is to discuss ways
and means for better service, special
events, etc., elected permanent officers
Monday, J. A. Lackey, of Eastern Ore
gon, being made chairman, and J. A.
Ward, of Coo8 and Curry counties,
secretary. This organization meets
each Monday morning to discuss plans,
complaints and suggestions. It Is be
coming a positive element in the effi
ciency of the building activities, as it
makes for team work. Mr. Lackey has
been Mayor of Ontario for several
years. .air. wara is a college man, a
graduate of the University of Chicago,
later a college professor, and still
later an Oregon business man. Thus
officered, the organization will go on
being useful.
J. A. Lackey, of the Eastern Oregon
exhibit, has Just received from Stack-
land Brothers, of Cove, Union County,
a handsome liberty bell four by five
feet, made of cherries grown in that
region. Mr. Lackey is the only Oregon
exhibitor now showing cherries. Ripe
fruit and good vegetables are still
wanted by the agricultural and horti
cultural heads to keep the displavs up.
The Willamette section Is in receipt
of a radish weighing ten pounds, black
Spanish variety, from W. W. Smith, of
Clackamas. A generous consignment of
Tillamook cheese in all sizes has just
arrived, the first considerable cheese
showing in the buildrng. A 29-inch tur
nip from The Dalles is causing wonder
In the horticultural exhibit.
Two Chinook salmon from the Co
operative Fisheries Union at Astoria,
weing 25 pounds each, will supply the
fish course at the dinner of the Agri
cultural Exhibitors' Club tonight in
the Agricultural Palace, through the

agriculture for Oregon. Each exhibitor
supplies some one item of the dinner,
which is served to 400 persons. The
young women of the domestic science
department will cook the fish.

57 votes. Mr. Mason received in
364 votes; C. B. Crisler. 307; Will H.
Baldwin, 203, and A. J. Lyle. 62.
All of the candidates ran as non
partisan, and the most importan
planks in Mr. Mason's -platform were
economy of administration, a strict
enforcement of the law, and an effort
to increase co-operation.
Mr. Mason was born April 3. 1849
in Indiana. In 1881, he removed to
Kansas, and later served two terms as
Mayor of the City of Eureka, having
been elected on a platform of city busi

USTICE PREDICTS REGRET
But T'- Is Tlielr Affair Exclu
sively," Adds Mr. McBrlde, Cora,
nienting on' Practicability of
Municipal Venture.
SALEM. Or, July 30. (Special.)
Holding that the City of Roseburg has
a legal right to Issue $300,000 bonds for
entering Into a contract with the Rose
burg & Eastern Railroad Company for
the construction of a road from the
city to the Intersection of the North
Umpqua River with the western bound
ry of Umpqua National Forest, the
Supreme Court today, in an opinion by
Justice McBrlde, sustained the decree
of the lower court favorable to the de
fendant In the case of Harry Pearce
against the city. A demurrer to the
complaint of Mr. Pearce, who contended
that, the bond issue was Illegal, was
sustained by Circuit Judge Sklpworth.
The Supreme Court further held that
cities and towns are not subject to the
Binghaw law. passed at the last ses
sion of the Legislature, which restricts
tax levies so they shall not exceed
those of any two previous years by
more than 6 per cent.
Home Rule Antagonised.
This was one of the questions raised
In the Roseburg case, the court declar-
ng that the law was antagonistic to
the home rule amendment, which was
designed to prevent legislative Inter
ference with purely local and municipal
affairs.
It was further contended by the
plaintiff that the charter amendmen
authorizing the bond Issue was Invalid
because the designation of the terminus
of the road was indefinite, that the
contract with the railroad company was
not valid, and that the suit was ficti
tious, the court ruling against all of
them.
The primary purpose of the proposed
road Is to market 21.000.000,000 feet of
standing timber. Justice Burnett dis
sented from the majority opinion.
Justice Predicts Rfirrt.
Regarding the future of the road
Justice McBrlde made the following
statement:
"The writer ventures the prophecy
that in the end the citizens of Rose
burg will regret ever having gone
Into the business of railroad building.
but that is their affair exclusively. "
O. P. Coshow represented Mr. Pearce,
Ralph R. Duniway appeared as ami
cus curiae, and AlDert Abranam, city
attorney and Carl E. Wimberly rep
resented the city.
Other opinions today were as fol
lows:

proved.
This cut of 85.000.000 feet will be
the largest amount of timber ever
felled In the Alaskan forests in one
operation, and at the average rate per
thousand feet obtained for timber sold
from the Chugach Forest during the
fiscal year 1914. It is worth approxi
mately (145.000 on the stump. It
will be nearly twice as much as the
total quantity of National forest tim
ber now cut and used annually for
local purposes throughout Alaska, but
only a little mora than one-tenth of
the estimated annual growth of the
Alaskan forests.
The two National forests of Alaska
contain about 78.000.000.000 feet of
merchantable timber, and It is esti
mated by the forest service that more
than 800.000.000 feet could be cut every
year forever without lessening the
forests' productivity.

was a dilapidated hearse in which
rested two "dummies." Attached to
these figures was a glaring sign let
tered as follows: "We are burying

hearse walked eight pallbearers,
dressed in black and carrying an ar
ray of vegetables. Thousands of
horns, bells, firecrackers and other

a dally capacity of 250.000 feet of lum
ber. The railroad will be of standard
construction and will be a common
carrier.
Construction probably will begin
within the next month.

To turn an honest coin his way;
So, rain or shine, with spirit high,
He sells the "Post" on Saturday.
