VARSITY BOYS BEAT WAY El'CEXB TRIO ACCOMPANY TRACK TRAM TO SEATTLE. Athletes Return With Tale of Hard Knock Experienced by Emulators , of Ifobos on Journey. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene. Or.. May 21. (Special.) Emulating the real hobo, three university students "beat" their way to Seattle last week with the varsity track team, arrived there after many "kick-offs," but to date have failed to return, according to members of the team just back. The last seen of the boys was when they were dressing in a field near Ridge lield. Wash., after having been igno miniously put off by the conductor as the team was returning to Portland. The three made their way to Port land on Thursday evening all right, but their troubles began after they left Portland for Seattle. The team was in a special car, and the trio thought transportation safe there. Discovered, they were made to get off, after be ing allowed to dress. Kalston and "Williamson were able to get on an other train and reach Seattle, but Townard, penniless, was in no such luck. This was the last seen of Downard until Saturday morning. when he showed up at the hotel in Seattle where the team was. From Thursday noon until Saturday morning he had been without food. They had all pooled their money, and Ralston and William son were the holders. The worst misfortune happened to tho trio as they were returning to Portland Saturday morning. Again climbing into the special train, they managed to ride until near Ridgefield without being detected. Here the con ductor found two of them. He stopped the train out in a field, making them grab their clothes so he could put "them off. Downard's passage was safe to a short distance from Vancouver, -where be was put off. Nothing more has been seen or heard from the boys. 1 5 Graduate at Prosser. PROSSER. Wash.. May 21.

"Fair But False." -"The Curse of Dartleigh lloor." "I Will Repay." "Dark Marriage Morn."- "Black Magic." "The Squire's Darling." The modern feminism with its trend toward a clear conception of every problem of life, has not dispensed with the old-fashioned girl or woman who lovee to linger for a quiet hour with stories that are loosely classified as "sentimental trash," by authors who were favorites of three decades ago. Portland booksellers say it never will, though it go ever so far; nay, they even drop a hint that the most ultra modern of women still seek the surrep titious solace of a quiet hour with Ber tha M. Clay. And it isn't those in the first "age of romance" who linger most with the old favorites; for there are two ages, and the last verges on the "forties." Here is a part of what the old bopk seller said, as he shifted a volume here and there and peered at the rows of faded titles, in tho endlss quest that is his trade: "You noticed her, I guess, the lady in the lavender gown, with the stylish turban hat and the silver at her tem ples? Yes. But you didn't hear what she asked for while I could have found the book without a word from her. Yes, indeed," he peered benignly over his dusty spectacles. Bertha M- Clay Favorite. "She's read them all, she has. within the past few months. Yes, sir. At least, she will have when she finishes the one she Juet bought. What is it? The 'Broken Wedding Ring, of course, the last Bertha M. Clay on my shelves. Do they read that stuff yet?" He dropped a maroon-hued volume in the fervor of his astonishment. "My dear sir! Let me tell you some thing about literature: There never has been a time that they didn't read the Bertha M. Clays, since the art of letters began. And they always will. That woman, for instance, and scores like her, i brilliant, cultured, educated. She has called me her "father confessor," because I alono know of her fondness for the melodramatic fiction of old times. She'll take that frowsy old vol ume home to a boudoir that it cost Hush for the Cushions. (3) Eager $1000 to furnish. She savs they rest her. Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth.

I can call to mind a hun dred best sellers of the past 10 years for which the demand is gone but these," ho swept a long gesture to the dingiest row of all. "these are among the immortals." Romance Not All Gone. The old bookseller then fished a turkey-tail duster from beneath the coun ter, with which he belabored romance till the dust flew. 1 Reports from numerous bookstores, either of new or second-hand classifi cation, indicate that the women who loved to weep above a mellow page are not an extinct species, notwithstanding the feminist movement. It is true that they buy loosely and largely of works on political science, gardening, econom ics and better babies yet, say the clerks, they still seek the thrill of the young earl's secret marriage to the abused and beautiful governess. Then the dear, delightful tears fall freely, as in mother's girlhood, when tho haughty duchess, with the honor of tho noble line in mind, thrusts the governess forth into the cruel night and the driving sleet. And, strange enough, it is tbe modern woman just reaching the ripe years of discretion 40 who Is most addicted to this weepy literature of the boarding school age.

Ofoicct Is to Conform to Rules so That Pure Kood Laws Will Be Obeyed and Oregon Product .Obtain Market Advantage. Loganberry growers and juice manu facturers, representatives of tho Man ufacturers and Industries Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. and experts from the Oregon Agricultural College have been invited to meet with State Dairy and Food Commissioner J. D. Mickle. May 31, at 10 o'clock A. M.. to consider plans for -standardization of the state's. output of commercial logan berry Juice. It was suggested some time ago, by E. N. Weinbaum. statistician of the Chamber, while tho preliminary move ments among the growers and juice manuiaciurers lor standardization were being made, that the State Dairy and Food Commission should have suf ficient power under present laws to provide for and inforce standards for tho product. Mr. Mickle was ap proached on the subject, and on in vestigation ascertained that there is sufficient power lodged in his office to handle the case suitably. The effort will be to have all elements interested, co-operate in the plans for standardi zation, and this will be effected at the coming meeting. In issuing his invitation, Mr. Mickle made the following statement: "It Is my purpose to learn In the first place the views of all of the man ufacturers who will respond to the in vitation. We want to get the view point of the manufacturer of his prob lems and difficulties, because we recognize that the one who is actually engaged in the business has the most intimate knowledge of many limita tions that are encountered in such a development. "It may be made to mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to our grow ers in the state if the product may be thoroughly standardized and put upon the market in such way that there is no reaction and that the sales may expand year after year. "Several governments. recognizing the necessity of protecting against an inferior quality of goods that may in jure an industry, insist upon state in spection of everything that is shipped from the community to the outside trade. With us our first step will be to reach what will be conceded a fair standard of excellence, then we will endeavor to have the state regulations accepted by. and fit into, the United States regulations for Interstate com merce so far as they are controlled by the pure food law."

Wonderful Increase la Business At tributed to Railroad Building as Well as Price of Minerals. There is plenty of trade in Alaska that Portland shippers might share. according to A. M. Dewey, manager of the trustee department of one of the biggest copper mining organizations in Alaska. Mr. Dewey arrived yesterday from Cordova and is registered at the Portland Hotel. Mr. Dewey said there was no other field in the Western Hemisphere where the opportunities for making money presented themselves as freely as in Alaska, and he brought news that the mining industries all through the ter ritory were booming, due partly to the advance in the market prices of copper. lead and silver and due partly to the development of the country through the building of railroads to the interior. The Government railroad from Cook's Inlet, inland, is going to open up an immense agricultural as well as min eral section of Southwestern Alaska, and Anchorage, he said, would grow to be a large city, .and already in its one year of life has attained a popula tion of more than 6000. He declared that tho city had equipped itself with the most modern means of light, heat. water and sanitation and was consid ering paving its streets. He cited the growth of that town as what develop ment the railroad would accomplish, and said that a San Francisco man had evidenced his faith in the future of the town by making plans for the erec tion of a 10-story hotel.
