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."

Many Postoffices Not Yet Oc

NORTHWEST LIST IS LONG
Postmaster-General Burleson, In
Effort to Arouse Interest In

Appointments Not Made.
OEEGOSIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash

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.

not been filled by the present Admin

RATE RULING - DENIED
STATE HAS JfO AUTHORITY"
FOREIGN SHIPPING.
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.

than any other brands at any price.
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.
