perts," was his declaration, "for only
the educated majority can rule wisely."
He told the graduates that a point of
contact for usefulness must be found
at once. "Do not flaunt your degrees."
he warned. "You should remember they
are to help men's souls, not to decorate
their persons."
Dr. Wilbur advocated a system of
exchange for a portion of the student

MAN LOST THREE DAYS
MINER WASDEHS SNOW AND
LIVES ON BIDS.
Elton Olson, of Cornucopia, Leaves
Companion and In Wanderings
Meet Three Bears.
BAKER. Or., Juno 5. (Special.)
Wandering In the snow near Cornu
copia, 74 miles east of here, for three
days without food and finally being
compelled to exist on buds from the
trees, was the experience of Elton Ol
son, formerly of Baker, and now an
employe of the Baker Mines Company
at Cornucopia, according to' a report
received here today.
Mr. Olson and William Gardner went
fishing on Clear Creek. When they
started home they disagreed on the
route and separated. Gardner reached
Cornucopia and a searching party
started to hunt for Olson. They
searched three days before they found
him 20 miles from camp and traveling
in the opposite direction. He had had
nothing to eat and was without matches
or knife so could find only buds to eat.
In his travels he encountered three
brown bears, one of which compelled
him to climb a tree. He crossed his
own trail several times, at some places
wading In from six to eight feet of
snow.
After eating ravenously of the
searching party's food he was able to
return, to camp with his rescuers.

FINAL ACT EXPECTED SOON
Original House Provisions for Ad
ministration of Oregon & Cali
fornia Tracts Are Not Al
tered in Conference.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 5. Oniy the signature of
President Wilson Is now lacking to
complete the final enactment of the
Oregon and California land-grant law,
the House today having ratified the con
ference report. The measure Is expected
to reach the White House within the
next few days. The conference report
does not change the original House
bill as to the administration of the law.
The law says that "the Secretary of
the Interior. In co-operation with the
Secretary of Agriculture, or otherwise,
is authorized anoT directed," etc
In the opinion of Representative Sln
nott, who has given much time to the
legislation, the Secretary of Interior
Is alone empowered to administer the
law should he so destre. It Is expected,
however, that the Interior Department
will utilize the services of the Forestry
Department, particularly In the valu
ation of timber.
Special agents of the General Land
Office and the Geological Survey, both
under the Interior Department, will be
used to classify the lands.

MINE UNION NOT TO STRIKE
Butte Employers Declare Doors Are
Closed to ex-Employes.
BUTTE, Mont., June 5. Possible
danger that the present strike of the
Butte Workingmen's Union might
spread to the mines was dissipated to
day when the electricians In the
employ . of the mining companies met
and determined not to go out in
sympathy with the smaller unions of
the city under any circumstances.
The miners are not organized in
Butte and the only, possible way the
mines could have been affected was to
have involved the electricians, who are
affiliated with the unions.
Members of the Employers' Associa
tion are giving their striking employes
notice that they need not expect to
get their jobs back when the wage con
troversy shall have been adjusted be
cause of their having chosen to stick
by the unions rather than their
former employers. Many men who
walked out in this strike were receiv
ing above the new scale asked, which
is $4 a day. The old scale was ? 3.50 a
day.
