THE SU3TDAT' OREGOXtAN, PORTLAND JULY 2, 1005. 1 Clever Woman's Impressions of the Fair Nancy Lee Visits the Buildings, Sees Homer, Davenport and the Trail and Writes Entertainingly About All. WILL SPEND A SANE FOURTH SEATTLE, July L (Special correspon dence.) It anyone had suggested to Brothers Lewis and Clark, not to mention Madame Sacajawea, that In such a little Fpace as a century people -white and peo ple black, people rich and people poor, peo ple who know things and people who want to know things, would meet on the bonks o the Willamette to see a "World's Fair of beauty and strength, these same three would probably have said little, but thought much. It Is a far cry from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the first thought which pops into the Easterners' head on sefelng the Portland Fair seems to voice Itself In the expression that Mis souri and Oregon are not too far apart to prevent the mantle of St. Louis from fitting the shoulder of the Far Western pioneer. "Comparisons are odorous," says Mrs. Malaprop, and no one would be so unjust as to compare the Portland Fair with the St. Louis Exposition, but If one did the very fine proportions of this latest Fair would show up strongly as contrasted with an exposition which the whole -world, civilized and barbaric, contributed to make great and grand. The Oriental, the Forestry, the Liberal Arts. Manufactures, the Mining, the Ag ricultural, the Government, .the Foreign and the Fine Arts buildings are important as educational factors, and most interest ing and fascinating. Scenic Effects Beautiful. The scenic effects throughout the grounds are beautiful, especially at night, when myriads of electric lights and sen tinels along the walks, or twinkle In the shrubs, and among the gay flowers. Portland has been called "the Rose City." and the thousands of La France roses all over the Fairgrounds certainly lend their beauty to crown the hill crest, and garland the sunlit glade. Possibly Mr. Homer Davenport's "Farm" -ittracts as much attention as any feature at the Fair. There are birds and beasts of all nations. There Is a white peacock which opens his tall as the loveliest of fans. There are pheasants of all kinds, occidental and oriental, from Europe, Asia and Africa. There are Arabian horses and stallions as proud looking as they are valuable, and there are goats. . Tou see a great many car toons exhibited at the "Farm," which all readers of daily newspapers are familiar with. These cartoons have made Mr. Davenport famous, but they hae not de prived him of his modest mien or his am bitions to do the very best work. Davenport Makes Frientts. There is a sort of Swiss chalet In which Mr. and Mrs. Davenport and their three children live. Mr. Davenport in the last campaign showed what the little piece of charcoal which he- keeps in his right-side waistcoat pocket could do. When he drew that cartoon. "If he's good enough for Uncle Sam he's good enough for me." he gave the farmer a hold on "Teddy" Roose velt which could only be demonstrated by the vote on election day. Mr. Daven port has made money from his lecture on "The Power of the Cartoon," but he has made more friends. When that stalwart young cartoonist tells of his boyhood days in Sllverlon, Or., and draws the picture of his father, who wanted him to "saw wood," there Is a whole epitome of the fifth commandment in the way Mr. Daven port tells his story. ' One of the most interesting events of my week In Portland was the night I went to the Marquam to hear Mr. Dav enport's lecture. In several boxes his father, his wife, his old Uncle John and'a dozen young and pretty girl cousins list ened in a devouring way to what "Homer" had to say. The manner that those de scendants of the pioneer leaned out of the boxes to catch every syllable from the lecturer's Hps. was as touching as It was charming. To say that Davenport. Sr "swelled with pride" faintly depicts the tableau. Mr. Davenport's lecture In itself Is a gem, a gem of fueling and In telligence, but those ulsters and cousins and aunts from Sllverton. Or., "listening to Homer," was a genre picture which no Tenlers could paint The Great Sceneshlfter every now and then presents one of these simple dramas that the looker-on may read a human doc ument byond the price of pearls. The clear girls from the country, those white headed men leaning from the boxes intent on the cartoonist who, born and raised in an Oregon village, has risen to the apex from which he makes men shudder, or laugh as the pencil caustic of plastic shapes his design, give a fellow a lesson In civics which no tongue could better or argument deny. There are some funny shows on the Trail, about 33 attractions, the biggest of which is Kiralfy's "Carnival of Venice." Innes Baud is one of the great features of the Fair. Professor Innes Is a great admirer and exponent of Herr Wagner. "His Sunday night Wagnerian concerts are attended with enthusiasm. The state buildings of California. Colo rado. Idaho. Illinois. Massachusetts. Mls rourl. New York. Oregon, Utah and Wash ington, are devoted to the products and pursuits of the different states, and offer inviting resting places and visions of comfort to the weary feet of the pleasure Feeker. California, for example, has ev erything In that building that the heart of man could ask for. There is a special punch brewed there e-cry day, which not - only -wets the Hps, but moistens the eye. Some fruits are very strong. Take the Innocent little grape. How downy and innocuous it appears clinging to Its parent stem. ho would be so wicked as even to suggest that this artless attachment to a numerous family would ever be con verted Into a liquid strong enough to deposit an American citizen of six feet and one Inch prone upon the highway? The still Is mightier than the gait The flowers in the California building. bottled though they be, seem to shed perfume around. There Is one shrub un foottled and standing stiff in the moistened earth. Around this shrub the women all pause. Women big, and women little. women young and women who might be more so. Ladles with black hair and la dies with white hair. They all stand and most of them smile. This shrub stands for woman's popularity with the other sex. No matter how 'tis worn. "whether crowning the white brow of the maid of 16 -or stuck somewhere about the elderly spinster's curls, the orange bios som Is the snow-white flag before 'which the ladles lay down their arms. And the men? Well, when the lady drops her arms 'tis the signal that the men carry." Llfe-Savlng Exhibition. There Is a fine exhibition of life-saving every day about 2:30. If there - is any class of men whom I like better than any other class, it is the men who. up and down the coasts, risk their lives for people whom they never saw before and probably will never see again. These Hfesavers spend most .of their days Just waiting for trouble. Just think of it. They are solitary as hermits and have to bo bachelors! They must keep clear heads, and clean hearts, and be ready any time the weather is squally or a ship springs a leak to rush out on the rolling wave and give their own precious lives to save the other fellow's. It's a fine thing to die for one's coun try. It is a great privilege to give one's life to save that of one most dear, but to sit quietly thinking thoughts and be roused from a peaceful cat-nap to wade out and come back a floater, would seem to be the finest sort of heroism and the kind of thing that makes me want to Ewallow hard. ' Thoy give a mighty good imitation of the real thing at the Fair, and when the life battle Is won, I am thankful that the y?nr Is over and nobody's hurt In the building devoted to mining there, was much to . see. Every kind of mine was exhibited with the manner of work ing It The people who infested this building were even more interesting than the exhibits. Eastern people, who snow about Alaska from reading Jack Lon don's stories, or from newspaper clip pings, looked with rouiJU-cycd wonder at the men panning gold. They seemed fas cinated with each exhibit, and hung around trying to assimilate wme of the mysteries and absorb a knowledge of something absolutely new and bewitching. One could discover, at a glance, the suc cessful Klondlker. He strutted through the aisles with his head up in the air. He condescended to drop a glance now and then at the miner or his work with a smile on the Hps which appeared to say. "I am It. I am. I've been there and I've made my pile. I could tell you things, but I haven't time. My sluicing days are over; now I'm blowing it in. The Returned Klondlker. Then there was te other type, the re turned Klondlker who had learned to cook uu there amonsr the snows. He slouched along, too. through the aisles. He didn't stop, either. Poor fellow, min ing had done him up, and he did not caro to face ghosts, or see too closely things that memory had best not get busy with. There is much good advertisement work done at the Fair. One firm has a whole building. There are kalclscopes and pic tures j-alore of everything, and a clever young spieler to tell the audience fairy tales. Advertising is getting cleverer with the march of years, and every World's Fair shows the advance of Ideas. If you tell people the same thing often enough, they believe It. Newspaper ad vertisement converted John Wanamaker's one store into a whole block in Phlladel- nhia. and then they call the "Dead March" the Philadelphia quickstep! There are somo wonderful old trees In the Forestry building. In gazing at these mighty guardians of the primeval forest the old worship of the Druids seems very fitting. There is something so sheltering and protecting about a big tree, like the all-powerful guardian to avert the sun light, to Impede the dew of night. To the dweller in the Middle West this monster timber must seem wonderful. Had the trees In the garden of Eden oeen as big as those of ours, and had their leaves been In proportion. Eve could have plucked Just one and tailored Adam a topcoat and avoided all that little scandal by which the poor girl lost her home. But then, the tree of knowl edge can't grow very tall, for people who are not blind are forever passing it oy. or stumbling over it in a vain effort to reach a star which turns out to be a fire fly. Miniature Hospital. What Firecracker Money Is Go ing to Accomplish In One East Side Family. There's rood c-rounds for all of this dis cussion as to a sane Fourth." said a caller at Ellers Piano House yesterday, "We ve discussed the matter pretty thoroughly at our house, and yesterday my aaugnier found that the money usuauy diowu m fnr firrradf(r noise and disturbance at our home is more than sufficient to make a first payment on a Pianola, jay oiaesi boy will buy a year's Pianola library sub scription, and with this start, the young sters themselves win nereatier tcp uV do. especially as I am myself goln make two payments in aavance ior iht now. a. Among the necessary evils. I started to say, but I will revise my work and say among the Indispensable require ments of the Fair, is the miniature hospl tal for the comfort or relief of the sad or sick. It is the dearest mlniatura sanitarium, on a side hill, where roses flourl&h and all sweet-smelling flow' ers thrive. The first day I saw this charmlncr retreat, tne sun was more than tepid, and three or four ener getic no thin very tlght-walsted ladies had succumbed to the ardor of the sungoJ.

The day I was there, two most Interesting young nurses -were neallng ana neip' incr. One a brown-haired girl. Ore gon born; daughter of a Judge, who; pretty face woulu make any young male patient decline to get -well, and any sun-wilted lady rejoice In her misery. The other, a darling daughter of Fair Scotln, as sweet and as whole some as the heather of her native land. Did you ever notice tnat one can't help nick-naming all things dear and sweet Now, this nurse was christened the good, old-fashioned Bible nnme of Mary, but no one calls her that. The pld, the young, all call her by a love-name, for everybod lo-es this tall, strong lassie. The world seems bigger and brighter as she goes bravely on her way. Her. eyes are only what Is right and her hands go out to help all those wno suffer. If 1 were tied to a chair and com manded to remain there until 1 had made up what I am in the habit of terming "my mind as to wnat struck me most forcefully at the Fair, I would have to answer "the people. Crowd Intent and Peaceable. I never saw so intent and so peace able a crowd. There was not a bad character of any sort that came Into my eye range. Not one tipsy man, not one rude man did I run across. Now, don't think that I am disappointed be cause 1 was not shocked on the Trail. I was agreeably surprised, that's all. In the street-cars It was the same way. Tne men stood and the women sat. and though I saw lots of women standing up, too, I did not hear one unkind or discourteous word. T did hear one -woman in an elevator. In a down-town store, pantingly gasp: "Oh, my, 1 never sat down in one of these telephones before. I was scared stiff and am glad It's through with." There were lots of well-dressed East ern women, there were all kinds of well-groomed Eastern men. But the thing that arrested my think-tank were the crowds of earnest-looking women and quiet, honest-eyed men who came from green country homes to see the wondera of the Portland Fair, not to criticise or to frolic, but to bow in reverence before the structure which to them was the Mecca of all endeavor. I have one big regret In leaving the Portland Fair. There was an exhibitor of phonographs in the Liberal Arts building. He gave you a record of your spoken words in the phonograph. I never seemed to get to the booth when the machlno .was doing things. Now, my big regret Is that I do not go down to posterity through the medium of the Columbia records shouting: "Hur rah for the Portland Fair."

Why not a Pianola In 3-our home? What It Means to the Home. A creat factor In the Pianola's world- "wide popularity Is the fact that It brings pleasure, not merely to one or iwo mem bers of the family, but to all. It appeals equallv to the wife, whose nousenoid ana social duties have interfered with keeping up her piano practice: to the business man. who needs some recreation after the dav's worries, and the growing daughters and sons witn a n-aiurai craving ior sonic form of entertainment, and who will seek it outside If it Is not proviaea witnin tne home. Suits AH Moods and Needs. Pn much has been said of the artistic possibilities of the Pianola in rendering the great classics of music that It is well to remember that It ls also a humanly familiar Instrument eatable of rendering popular selections the latest light opera hits, dance music, ravorue oia songs, col lege glees, and the homely and lowly. In fact, it has Instant response for all moods and needs. Todav th Pianola has . place In thou sands of the best homes In this country and abroad. It Ms the general testimony le owners that they wouia not part with their Instruments for many times the cost provided It was impossible to replace them. Surely Worth InvestlgatlnQ. Surely an Instrument insuring such un limited pleasure, and coming within the means of any person who can afford a piano, is deserving of a personal Investi gation. Wc suggest that you take the first opportunity to call at Ellers Piano House, where the complete Metrostyle Pianola Is always on exhibition. The cast of new Metrostyle Pianolas Is $230 and JSOO. Purchasable on easy monthly Installments, if desired. Pianola library subscriptions, giving access to the most complete music-roll library west of Chi cago, costs $20 annually. Ellers Piano House, corner of Park and Washington strets. entrance number 23L it was discovered that only one kind of a dog would do. This campus chaperon must be a low-browed, bench-legged ccph alate. of villainous mien and truculent disposition. The more hideously repcllant the dog, the better for the purpose. The bulldog has no doubt helped many a struggling 'varsity student over the hard places during the anxious years when his whole soul was bent upon the laudable ambition of getting on the "first nine" or breaking out of the football "substitute" class. As a picturesque ad junct to the real collegian, the bulldog has taken a high place with the postage- stamp cap, the yellow and green sweater and the "rah-rah trousers. Who knows but if the bulldog Is eliminated from the dear old college days the next step may not be an order for haircuts, derby hats and other rational reforms which we all know would rob the college boy of his chief if not his only distinction. The cause of education owes much to the bulldog Just how much will never be known. When Willie comes home from school and lands at the old farm with a bale of flags, ball bats, tennis racke beer steins and a bulldog as the vlsll assets of a college education, the hard headed father somehow feels a yearning sympathy for the bulldog, -and figures that after all he may be of more real utility on the farm than anything else he has to show for his Investment. College authorities should go slow on the bulldog. Perhaps he was Intended by beneficent Providence to contribute through a self-respecting physical exam ple and force of Intellectual stimulation a modicum of sense to the college boy. If this be his mission, then preserve the col lege bulldog, say we. c FOURTH OF JULY SPECIALTIES Red Fire AH Colors WOODLARK SURE LIGHT RED FIRE PURE RED Woodlark Red Is a special preparation put up in our own laboratories.

THE COLLEGE BULLDOG Is That Branch ot Ideal Education Doomed? Kansas City Journal. Is the bulldog, as symbolical of Idealism in college education, doomed? The ques tion is suggested by a recent order of Chancellor Day, of Syracuse University, that henceforth no student of that institu tion shall own or harbor a bulldog. The full importance of this innovation can only be realized by those who are famil iar with the exalted and intimate place that the bulldog has occupied in the col lege world during the last few decades. The very proposition to divorce education and bulldogs Is portentous, not to say revolutionary- Until this daring Syracuse chancellor conceived the project of shat tering the intellectual affinity between the bulldog and the college student no one thought it could be done with safety to the mental integrity of the latter. But the experiment will be made and the world will watch the outcome with breath less interest. Just when the bulldog became a neces sary factor to the college career is not Tccorded. We can only Imagine that .the circumstance was ushered In when Wil lie, the family pet. strolled across tho campus one fine day unconsciously fol lowed by a misguided bull terrier. This cet the pace, and, like a great many oher heavy Intellectual movements, the value of this species of canine as an aid to men tal expansion in youth was the result of I an accident.
