The Lincoln larm of 110 acres, the little log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, a magnificent memorial hall which shelters it anS an endowment Jund of $50,000 maintenance will be presented as a gltt to the Nation to morrow by the Lincoln Farm Asso ciation. Impressive ceremonies will mark the occasion. The first address w ill be made by ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri, president of the Lincoln 'arm Association. Mr. Folk, will be followed by Senator Williams, of Miss issippi, who will deliver an address on "Abraham Lincoln and the South." The presentation of the deed of gift to the Lincoln farm will then be made by Robert J. Collier, of New York, and It will be accepted by Secretary Ba li er. An address by President "Wilson will follow the acceptance. In March, 1806, Thomas Lincoln with his bride. Nancy Hanks Lincoln, took possession of a farm on the banks of Nolin Creek in Larue County, then a part of Hardin County. Here with his own hands Thomas Lincoln put up a rude log cabin constructed of un liewn logs, the chinks daubed with clay, and in it Abraham Lincoln was born, February 12, 1809. Real Boyhood Brief. Here during the next nine years he en Joyed the only real boyhood that ever came to him, for with the removal of Thomas Lincoln -tth his family to In diana and later to Illinois many of the burdens of manhood were thrust upon the child's shoulders. The Lincoln farm remained In the hands of the family of the first pur chaser about 70 years. Then it was cold to A. W. Dennett, of New York, a wealthy restaurant owner, who pur posed to convert it intf a public park. Financial reverses made It Impossible for him to carry out his Intentions. The farm had constantly declined and presented a woeful scene of neglect and decay. So poor was it that a care taker into whose hands it was given In consideration of his agreement to pay the taxes was considered by his neighbors to have made a bad bargain. A short time later the little cabin was sold to a traveling showman. He took it around the country exhibiting it and finally stored the dismembered structure in a cellar, from which it was rescued at the instance of Robert J. Collier, who bought the showman's claims. Farm Rescued From Exploiters In 1906 Mr. Collier learned that the Lincoln farm was about to be sold and was in danger of falling into the hands of persons who wished to use it for exploiting their wares, among them being a man with big distilling inter ests. The farm finally was bought at public auction for 3600 and soon afterward the Lincoln Farm Associa tion, to which Mr. Collier deeded the property to be held in trust for the Nation, was organized. ' A campaign for funds with which to rear a memorial over the ' cabin, on its original site, was then begun and the response was quick and generous. More than 270,000 persons contributed sums ranging from 25 cents to $25,000. a total of $383,000 being raised. This response was lim ited to no one section, men and women of the ' South coming forward with a readiness equal to that of the citi zens of any other section. Within the Lincoln Memorial Hall resting upon its original site is. the Lincoln cabin, faurrounding the tabin is a heavy bronze chain, for no one is allowed to enter its portals. Over the entrance of the building is inscribed the following: "Here over the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, destined to preserve the Union and free the Mave, a grateful people have dedicated this memorial to unity, peao and brotherhood among these states.

The display included over 20 set pieces, each one manu factured especially for this occasion, among them being fire pictures of Queen Muriel, Admiral Cronan and va rious scenes typical of the Lower Co lumbia River- district, its past history and ambitions for the future. The pyrotechnics were by far the most thrilling ever staged locally. LOCAL SONG MAKES HIT "UXCI.E SAMMY'S ARMY" COMPOSED BY MISS HAZEL N. DOIPH. the field of aeronautical raifio-tcleg-raphy was accomplished here today when a wireless message was sent from one aeroplane in flight to an other. Captain C. C. Culver, attached to the Signal Corps training school at North Island as aeronautical radio expert, in an Army machine piloted by Lieutenant Herbert Dargue, received the message, which was transmitted a distance of several miles by Lieutenant W. A. Robertson, who was in another ma chine guided by A. D. Smith. The message, which read "National aviation field sets new world's record," was reecived distinctly by Captain Cul ver, who prior to the experiment was ignorant of the words Lieutenant Rob ertson intended to send. According to Captain Culver this is the first time on record in this country, and perhaps' in the world, that a wire less message has been received by one aeroplane from another while both ma chines were in flisrht.

Quietly tucked away on the pro gramme for the Oaks band concert to be given by Signor Ferullo today is the following: "No. 6 'Uncle Sammy's Army' (H. N. Dolph)." And. for ways (of a press agent) that are dark and tricks that are vain, it was about the meanest thing a press agent ever did. Because H. N. Dolph is Miss Hazel N. Dolph. daughter of one of Port land's best families, and, further, be cause John Phillip Sousa, bandmaster extraordinary, thought so much of the lilting march that he has played it in Philadelphia this last week with marked success. Furthermore, the march, which is also a song, has become popular in tne way Miss Dolph intended, inas much as it has been taken up on the border, in Army posts and. generally, seems about ready to become the "Tip- perary or America. If the truth were told, it would be that Uncle Sammy s Army" was In spired by the movement of the Oregon National uuarrt boys to the border. Ferullo. at the Oaks, asked Dermis sion to play it at the concert at the Oaks tonight. The remainder of the programme for the Oaks for the two concerts today follows: Afternoon "Gambrlnus March" (Rivela: "Guarany Overture" (Gomas); a) "In urienie intermezzo" (Quaglia). b "Chi nese Wedding- ProceBsion" (Homer): "Le Campahe di Corneville" (Plaquette); vocal solo by Miss Victorin Hayes: "In the Clock Store." descriptive fantania (Orthl. bell solo by Sia;.

What is de clared to be an important advance in JAPANESE IN NEW FIELDS South America Now Attracting Large Numbers of Immigrants. WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. Large num bers of Japanese are emigrating to South America, according to reports to the Japanese Advertiser and forward ed here by the American Consul-Gen-eral at Yokohama. One ship is said to have recently taken nearly 1000 emigrants to South .American ports. "Since the genelemen's agreement with the United States," the paper is quoted as saying, "the number of Jap anese emigrants to South America has increased in great numbers. The policy of Australia has also made the south ern continent attractive to people from this country. Brazil is most attractive to the Japanese who find land culti vation profitable."

MARSHFIELD. Or.. Sept. 3. tSpe cial.) Better prospects are held out at Port Orford for salving of the steam schooner Bandon tonight, although the vessel is resting upon a rock, where her engines are located and her prow is well up on the beach. The vessel held her position last night and no fur ther damage resulted. Reports of wreckage washing ashore referred oniy to pieces of the keel anl planking which were torn off when the ship was punctured by the rocks. No other wreckage has gone ashore, nor has there been any indication of the vessel breaking her keel. It is believed that the weather will not cause further damage to the Ban don before the arrival of the steam schooner Phoenix with wrecking ap paratus, which is due Monday. It was expected the wrecking tug laqua would be forwarded to help the wreck from the beach, but the Phoenix was substi tuted. The Bandon is lying in the same posi tion as yesterday, with her stern to ward the west and on a fairly even keel. The rock upon which the craft rests holds her from washing further shoreward. There is scarcely any sea and no pounding affects the vessel's condition. The parties interested in saving the vessel believe that so long as the rock is under the shoreward side of the craft the Phoenix will be able to ex tricate her and get her to sea, unless the front portion of the vessel should burrow too deeply in the sand. The prow has settled in the sand to a con siderable extent, however, and the salv ers regret that the laqua was not sent to make the attempt to float her. The unfruitful efforts to salve the steam schooner Kifield at Bandon. which was not held by rocks, are re called In the present case and mariners believe the Bandon cannot be released. The best hope for the Bandon is the quietness of the sea- SCHOOL IN NEED OF FUNDS Project at (Jpeiihain May Have t Be Abandoned.
