I'unil Assumed Work of Mrs.
AV. V. Calkins Praised.
A plan adopted by Mrs. W. W.
Calkins of Eugene, chairman of the
lioo.sevelt memorial drive for Lane
county, to insure the complete sub
scription of the local, quota and to
expedite the attainment of the goal,
lias received warm praise at state
headquarters.
"Mrs. Calkins, as chairman for
ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN.
Roosevelt Memorial Committee,

Address .......
Town or City.

fund to bo utilized as follows:
(1) To erect a monument to Theodore Roosevelt In Washing-ton. r. C:
(2) to acquire and maintain a public park at Oyster Bay. N. Y.. ultimately to
Include Sagamore Hill, the Roosevelt home, to be preserved like the Washing

Lane county, is a model in method
for those to follow who take up
patriotic or public activities," said
Kdgar B. Piper Jr.. state campaign
manager. "She has not only neglected
no resources, nor spared her own
energy throughout the drive, but she
has obtained the signatures of 10
Eugene citizens who assume personal
responsibility for the Lane county
campaign. A draft for $300, partial
returns from the Lane county cam
paign, was received at state head
quarters today."
Union Comment Makes Progress.
From Union county came a message
from Bruce Dennis, county chairman,
advising that a large part of the local
quota had been raised by purely vol
untary subscription and asking if an
active personal campaign should be
launched to clear away the remainder.
Under instructions from state leaders
of the drive. Chairman Dennis will
attack the quota balance in a cam
paign of solicitation and promises to
report success within a few days.
In the Portland campaign, a great
many clubs and organizations are
still receiving subscriptions from
their members, and will add material
ly to the quota when they report in
full. An instance in aggressiveness
is that of the University club, which
has underwritten the quota sub
scription of its members and is ac
cepting, on its own behalf, the indi
vidual donations for which the guar
antee was made.
Campaigns Not Relaxed.
"Two counties which have already
established their Americanism in pa
triotic drives," said a headquarters
official, "are Clatsop and Umatilla
both extremely active in the memo
rial tribute to Colonel Roosevelt. Each
county is undertaKing to raise about
(1000, and their respective campaigns
are in the hands of men who will not
relax until the objective has been
triumphantly attained."
Headquarters has many stories to
tell of inspiring sympathy and co
cperaiion in the purpose of the drive.
Foremost among these is that of the
Portland mother who brought a $1
bill to the campaign offices and re
quested that she be enrolled as a
member of the memorial association.
The scrap of currency was a cher
ished token, taken from the pocket
of her only son when he made the
final sacrifice in France. She told
officials that she considered the hal
lowed bit of currency to be peculiar
ly appropriate as a gift to the tribute
to Roo&evelt.

SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 30. (Spe

In every wholesale bakery in the city

The increase in mill prices for flour

and was necessitated, according to
leading millers, by a general increase
in the premium the millers are com

fixed price to obtain hard wheats
suitable for the manufacture of the
better grades of flour.

he gave the same answers and ex
planations with emphasis.
Every letter of Butchart, who is one
of the defendants offered by the gov
ernment yesterday and identified by
Moore, was taken up by the defense
and the witness questioned concern
ing it.
Aman Moore, who was deposed as
sales manager of the Oregon com

tified that he ascertained conditions
regarding the alleged agreement of
California and 'Washington companies
regarding territory and prices from
Mr. Butchart on the latter's arrival
