OREGON BUILDING. Exposition
Grounds, San Francisco, Sept. 14.
(Special.) Perhaps few of the Oregon
Agricultural College and University-, of
Oregon men who took the competitive
examination last year for guides in the
Oregon building during the Panama
Pacific Kxposition had an inkling that
the "let-Oeorge-do-it" philosophy would
predominate, or they might not have
been so eager.
When answering examination ques
tions on the state resources timber,
mines, land values and the openings for
horticultural and agricultural pursuits
no little bird whispered to them that
they'd better get up also on a, million
or so wholly extraneous matters that
a curious, ever-changing public bring
with sublime confidence to the informa
tion man for solving. The information
man is a fount of all knowledge In
the public mind and he'd better be, or
he is in hot water continually. It isn't
just the questions people ask that keep
the college men keyed up and ready
always for the utterly unexpected; it's
the "stunts" that fall to their share.
1'iiexnected Duties Many. ,
Is a guest to be met at the train?
One of the eight "Georges" is detailed.
A baby is lost in the building; "George"
is detailed to round him up.
Escorts are needed for some social
Affair. "Who brought his dress suit?"
Another "George" is detailed. It's all
easy: "let George do it."
All this is in addition to giving in
formation about the great State of Ore
eon, answering phone calls, assisting
Becretarially and conducting parties
over the buildings.
Can you see how the Oregon building
ever would have been run without all
these "Georges."?
The system is to have eight college
men here at a time four from the
Agricultural College and four from the
State University. The college men
wear their khaki uniform, which
readily sets them apart as guides, but
the university men are in civilian dress.
Sixty men so far have served their state
In this capacity, each remaining one
month.
Worth of SyHtem Demonstrated.
All the men have done well with the
work, and it has been demonstrated
that this kind of service has a value
far higher than any that could be
hired, for the college men are not paid
for this service. They will wax en
thusiastic over special opportunities
and help an enquirer to plan his trip
north, or to his prospective ranch, with
all the live alertness of a seasoned real
estate man.
The opening of schools and colleges
has called away an excellent group,
whose places, however, are taken by
others who are proving equally effi
cient. Kenneth Fox has returned to
the Oregon Agricultural College, where
he will graduate in 1916; C. C. Baker
finished in law in '14, and has gone to
Stanford for graduate work in law;
Neil and Hugh Ford have entered Stan
ford for civil engineering and. jour
nalism; A. Jaureguy, a graduate is to
be an instructor in the Oakland (Ore
gon) High School; F. A. Hardesty, who
was graduated last year, is to be prin
cipal of an Oakland public school; J. L.
Whitman got his master's degree last
year and is to do high school work in
Oregon this year.

67 miles west of here, early this morn
ing and cleaned up $150 from the tills.

till. The safes in both places were
not touched.

"FRONTIER DAYS" Of!
Throng of 8000 Attends Big
Fete at Walla Walla.
PRAIRIE ATTACK IS STAGED
Crowd Goes Wild With Delight at
Antics of Indian and l'ast Time
Is Recorded in Steer-Roping
Contests; Animals Lively.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 16.
(Special.) Walla Walla's third annual
Frontier Days celebration, opened with
a bang and yip-yipping cowboys and
gaudily clothed Indians kept the
throngs in awe with seemingly unend
ing thrilling feats. '
A crowd of 8000 people watched the
opening performance, gorgeous and
spectacular, till the close. In the buck
ing contest, Yellow Fever failed to
show much and Orade Miller rode him
easily. Shook Martin drew K. C. Roan,
a pleasant-looking animal and hit the
ground, so hard he broke his watch
crystal.
K. C. proved to be the hardest bucker
in the arena. "Ed" McGilvray fDund
Sally Winnemue a tough proposition,
but stuck, as did C. E. Kunyan. on
Headlight.
Prairie ,Schooner Attacked.
As a prairie schooner drew up in the
center of the arena, unhooked the oxen
and made camp, even to lighting the
evening fire, the waiting Indians
swooped to the attack, but the cow
boys and troopers came quickly to the
rescue. The ground was covered with
recumbent forms. the well-trained
horses lying motionless.
The crowd went wild at the sight of
one tall Indian in the war dance. With
his gaudy headdress, painted face and
gay shirt, he was a sight unusual.
No prettier sight has ever been
staged here than the hundreds of guad-ily-clothed
Indians and gaily-decked
cowboys pouring into the arena for
the first event of the fair. With the
green trees back of them and in the
distance the Blue Mountains, it was
a worth-while sight.
Colored Rider Is Thrown.
Hardly was the arena cleared of all
the performers when the cowboys'
saddle race was on. Wild burros, wild
bulls and cows proved too much fo
the men to ride and the cowboys often
were thrown hard.
A colored man climbed on a wild
horse 'backward and rode him rare
backed for a few moments, then he
was thrown. Mrs. Paul Hastings,
Prairie Rose Henderson and Mrs. Clyde
Lundsey were the three entries in the
cowgirls' bucking-horse contest, and
they brought the crowd up by their
wonderful riding.
In the cowboys' relay race Jim Par
sons broke the track record set here
this week in the sensationally fast
time of 4:01, auick changes of saddles
and mounts enabling him to best C. B.
Irwin by three-quarters of a second.
Steer-Roplnar Contents Lively.
In the steer-roping contest, George
Weir threw up his hands after hog
tying his animal in 32 seconds, while
Ed McCarty was second with 47 sec
onds. Jim Roach downed his steer,
then the steer got up and downed
Roach's horse.
Charley Weir, with bad luck, downed
his animal in 67 seconds. Big Charley
Irwin got his steer down and fell on
it. but it rose and it took him more
than a minute to conquer.
The steers this year are larger, fast
er and foxier than last year. In the
bulldogging contest the steers proved
so fast that most of the contestants
failed, Leonard McCoy doing the best,
and it was a hard job to down his steer.
John Thomas, Indian, did a drunken
ride and added a bit of realism by
taking a fall that jarred the breath
out of him.
LAUNCH RAILING REQUIRED
Customs Oficials Orders Changes
Made in Passenger Boats.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Sept. 16. (Spe
cial.) H. F. McGrath. Deputy Customs
Collector, of Portland, who has been
on Coos Bay for the past week, is issu
ing orders to all . service gasoline
launch owners to protect their passen
gers by a three-foot railing, furnish
seating for each passenger and discon
tinue the custom of allowing passen
gers on the tops of cabins, except
where there are railings and other
proper protections.
Requirements for life-saving equip
ment will be included in the order as
well. The new ruling goes into effect
at once, and it will necessitate the
laying up of a number of boats until
they ca ncomply with regulations.
FERRIES BILL IS OPPOSED
Electric Light Association Members
Say Measure Is Inanity.
SPRING LAKE BEACH, N. J., Sept.
16. (Special.) At a meeting here yes
terday of the public policy committee
of the National Electric Light Associa
jygrggi??'g .r. i"
tion the following resolution was1
adopted:
"In view of the importance of the
subject to members of this association
and to the general public, the public
policy committee of the National Elec
tric Light Association has considered
legislative propositions which "seek to
deal with the control of water power
developments in the public domain. The
cor'.aiittee is unanimous and emphatic
in its, 'opiinon that dyvlopment could
not by any possibility be secured
through the enactment by Congress of
what is generally known as the Ferris
bill, passed by the House of Represen
tatives and reported with amendments
by the Senate committee on public
lands. January 11, 1915. In the opinion
of many of our member companies who
are anxious to make large investments
the bill is faulty in principle, while
others whose experience fully qualifies
them to testify insist with practical
unanimity that at least further and
radical amendment is absolutely essen
tial in order to avoid a continuation of
the past policy of repression and eco
nomic waste. The committee hopes
that during the forthcoming session of
Congress definite legislation of a rea
sonable character will be agreed on and
enacted so that there shall not there
after be any Governmental obstacles in
the way of financing, constructing and
operating the many developments which
are now, and for so long have been,
mere prospects."

Inflnence on Armr, Whose Morale
Has Been Badly Shaken.
BERLIN, by wireless to Tuckerton.
I J., Sept. 18. "All the newspapers,"
f-iys the Overseas News Agency, "agree
that the recent sensational changes in
Russia are a necessary consequence of
the military and political situation and
that the Emperor was compelled to
take personal command of the Rus
sian forces in order to prevent still
further difficulties from arising.
The removal of Grand Duke Nicholas
is commented on as of the greatest
importance politically, as he was the
incarnation of the anti-German na
tionalistic and imperialistic policy of
Russia and personally responsible for
forcing war or the Emperor and ob
taining the signature of the mobiliza
tion order of July, 1914, which precipi
tated the war.
The Grand Duke's removal is re
carded as having been imperative be
cause of domestic difficulties in Russia,
as he was the head of the reactionary
element and responsible for the atti
tude of the government In failing to
keep its promise of better treatment of
the Jews and the Poles.
"The consequences of the change
must De awaitea, the comment rnns.
"The Grand Duke undoubtedly was
loved by the army, while the Emperor
was personally unKnown to it and was
not an inspiring Influence. It is con
sidered that the fact that the morale
oi me Kussian army has been shaken
makes the outlook for it under the
r-mperor s command more unfavorable
as the German armies continue their
pressure upon and battering of th
Russian lines."
