SCULPTOR ACQUIRES RANCH OREGON Student of Rugged Life Prepares to Make Home in West Oregon. "Family" Presents Token to . Commissioner Booth. BY AXXE 8HAXXON- MONROE. OREGON KXPOSITION BTJILDIXG, San Francisco, Nov. 9. Two events made the Oregon building: interesting Monday in spite of the rain, the first in seven months. The bronze figure The Buckaroo." by A. Phimister Proctor, was unveiled in the art room, the programme being? directed by N. R. Moore, of .Corvallis. Mr. Moore de livered the main address, on sculpture in genera, and called attention to the artist's .other works here exhibited, the two handsome bison that guard the south entrance to the Fine Arts Colon nade. Miss Hatch, custodian of the art room, gracefully drew away the Ameri can flag from over the buckaroo and it was greeted with appreciative ap plause. Air. Cranston, of Pendleton told about the Roundup and bucking bronchos and Miss Hatch talked on the art room. Sculptor's Work Remarkable. Mr. Proctor is one of the most noted sculptors in America, having worked a great deal abroad and traveled the world over in his study of subjects. His great success has been with animal life, particularly with Western sub jects. He has lived m the West in Colorado and other places and love the lugged rawness of new countries and the strength and sinuous beauty of virile animals in their native haunts. His plans include trips already mapped out in detail into the most animal-inhabited wilds of Afica and of India, mat he may know animal life un touched and untamed and make it live again in bronze for all of us to "know. A couple of years ago he was at tracted to the Pendleton Roundup. It was an opportunity to see the native Western horses and the horsemen in attitudes that belong to the range and the cattle life so rapidly passing into history. He came he was conquered: he sent to New York for his fainilv and he has been here ever since, with no immediate prospect of leaving us. So interested has he become in Oregon that ne nas acquired a ranch in, Harney County, where he means to make a borne for himself and his family. OrtitoB In Artists' Country. Long, long ago when I first traveled over Oregon, I said: "This is an artist's country. It is the natural haunt for creators." I know other writers and artists in the East who have their eye on a ranch in Oregon: the coming of the Proctors to be one of us is but the beginning. Oregon will some day be better known through her sculptors, painters, writers and playwrights than she ever will be through her boomers and boosters. Another pleasant event of the after noon was the gathering of the Oregon family in the reception-room around the great old log fireplace, which has meant so much to all of us. and the presentation there to Commissioner Booth of a token of our love for him. Bon Sheldon, of Medford, made the presentation speech. We have chosen a hand-tooled leather -book cover, on the inner side of which was inscribed our sincere sentiment of appreciation, to gether with the names of the members of the "family." KELSO HALTS TRIO'S TRIP Girls Are Sent Home to Seattle but Man Later Is Set Free. KELSO, Wash., Nov. 11. (Special.) TV. J. Brown', of Bremerton, who op erates a Summer resort near Seattle, -was arrested here today and later was released. Two Seattle girls accompanied him in his automobile from Seattle via Olympia. arriving here last night. Brown said he was taking them to Bend. Or., to work as waitresses. The girls, whose names are withheld, became suspicious. Marshal T.- T. Fan ion and Chester Jackson, clerk at Rockwood Hotel, made the arrest after an exciting chase through town. Brown had gone to the garage to get his car, but became frightened and fled with his snitcasew Prosecuting Attorney Klrby was summoned from Kalama, but after investigation decided to drop the charge. Brown gave the girls money to return home to Seattle and they left on the noon train. Brown has a wife and four children living at Bremerton.

NORTHWEST LIST IS LONG Postmaster-General Burleson, In Effort to Arouse Interest In Party, Gives Towns Where Appointments Not Made. OEEGOSIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ngton, Nov. 11. Postmaster-General Burleson, chief spoilsman of the Ad ministration and disDenser of nostof fice patronage, on taking stock dis covered several thousand ' Presidential postoffices still in the hands of Re publican postmasters appointed by President Taft. That so many Re-. publicans are still in office is due in many cases to lack of interest shown by local Democrats. In order to arouse interest in these appointments, worth from $1000 to $6000 a year, the Postmaster-General today issued "a list of all Presidential postmasterships yet to be filled by Democrats, in the hope that publicity will bring forth the requisite number of Democrat applicants and result in Democratic appointments.

Application of Southern- Pacific Cm PI Not Passed Cm by Public Service Commission. SALEM. Or, Nov. 11. (Special.) The Oregon Public Service1 Commission today took the stand that it has no au thority to pass on the application of proportional rates on shipments des tined for immediate and continuous movement to a foreign country. The decision of the Commission came as a result of the application of the Southern Pacific Company for author ity to apply to a shipment! of ties from Silverton to Ban. Or., a proportional rate named in the tariff for such ship ments from Silverton to East Portland. This proportional rate Is lower than the local rate from tiUv-erton, to East Portland or Ban. The Commission de clined to pass on the railroad's appli cation, holding that it lay without its jurisdiction. Replying to he railroad's request, the Commission also points out that lack of Congressional legislatiion places action beyond the Interstate Commerce Commission, and that if any remedy is obtained, it must be from Congress. Under present conditions the Public Service Commission concludes that the railroad cannot be ' regulated In this class of cases and Is free to apply what ever proportional rates it mav see fit. Now there is no proportional rate quoted in the tariff sheets for ship ments to Ban and the application of the tariff is so restricted that it cannot possibly be applied on shipments hav ing both origin and destination within the state. on along the rivers in the Yakima Val ley. Because of the dry Summer and Fall, feed Is scarce, but excellent shoot ing along water courses is reported. Several black swan, unusual visitors, have been killed by ,hunters.

It is not mere chance that Lang & Co.'s brands are "best sellers" it is the natural result of higher quality and lower price. One year ago, when the coffee market "dropped," Lang & Co. were the only coffee-roasters on the Pacific Coast who passed the saving on down to the consumer in reduced retail prices and in creased quality. We believed that it was better to win a large volume of sales on price and quality rather than through a sentimental appeal to the people to patronize "home industries." We appeal to no sentiment Lang & Co.'s brands stand on merit alone and in competition with the world. However, it may interest some boosters of home industries to know that, as a result of our present volume of sales, Portland has risen from "nothing" on the coffee map to one of the leading coffee-distributing centers of the United States volume considered. Unless you are already using ROYAL CLUB at 35c, or GERMAN-AMERICAN at 30c, you are overlooking the best coffee val ues on the market. Lang & Co. .
