I rges rnrcnts to Promote Iho Plaj Instinct levelops Truth, Too," Says V. Bristol. Hohrrt Krohn, who has charge of the physical culture department of the Portland public schools, by Invitation addressed the Mothers' and Teachers' i'it of the Brooklyn School at the meeting Friday afternoon about the newly organized Orammer School IjpHgrue. Mr. Krohn said It was a sub ject very near to his heart because of the good Influence the league Is ex pected to have on the boys. Baseball and other athletic sports, he said, were only a means to an end. which Is to de velop mnnly character and promote lnt lies t y In all lines. Mr. Krohn said one purpose of the league was to pro mote r spirit of fairness. "By carrying out our regular base ball, football, aquatic and athletic pro gramme.' he said, we. hope In a meas ure to develop the play instinct In boys and (tlrls In a general way. Since or ganising this league I .have had tele phone messages from a number of girls of various schools, who would like me to organize a lengue mf some sort of games for them, such as basketball, tennis and even baseball, which we hope to do at some future time. Too often we find children .with little or no desire to play games of any kind, this condition belna- due to lack of oppor tunity: or parents may have neglected to Instill Into their children the play Interest, whjch is so necessary to their happiness and which is the best means for developing a cheerful and happy and contented disposition. "Now. some mothers I know think It uti dignified for their daughters to play out on the grounds, while their sons are equally restricted and cau tioned not to play with this or that boy. I do not mean by tins that the parent should not be partic ular with whom their children associate. T am very particular about that myself, yet n means should nevertheless be found which will allow children to enjoy clean, healthful games. The deslro Is present in all healthy children and should be fostered and encouraged in every possible manner, as nothing will do more for their good health and morals than well-directed games and piny. Try to keep your boys from the coarser temptations of the street cor ners, cheap vaudeville shows, etc., and you will earn their gratitude when they are old enough to realize all you hitve done for them. Give them plenty of good healthful exercise, keep them busy, listen to their talks about how this or that boy won a race, how his best friend curves a ball or how his team won out in a hot contest. "I have ben conducting this work in the Portland schools f oi 15 years and during that time have met many people who thought it a fad or worse, but our practical demonstrations have prjven the opposite and I find few par ents who object to their children tak ing part In these exercises. (In con clusion I desire to say that it is our intention in order to finance the ague to hold a monster public exh!bit:on, but of that you will hear later on." At the conclusion of Mr. Krohn's ad dress ex-Urited States District At torney W. C. Bristol spoke on 'The Power of Truth." Mr. Bristol attributed lack of truth as the true reason for corruption and graft ir. public places, and urged parents to inculcate truth in their children. Will Not Come for One Game. Owjng to Ihe inability of the 1'niver sity of Oregon baseball team to complete a schedule of several games in Portland, the contest scheduled for the 'U" against the lads of Columbia University tomor row ' has been cancelled. The Oregon team was to have played games with Hill Military Academy and the St. John Trl City League team, but both these dates foil down, and the management decided to cancel the other date as well. Tomorrow, Monday, will be positively the last day for discount on East Side gas bills. Portland Gas Company. "l.OOrt copies sheet music, choice now ?- Graves & Co. Removal Sale.

STANTON WINS SPRINTS Heed, Counted On to I .and Them for Cnrdlnals, Goes I, a me and As sures I'nlverslty of Cali fornia Victory. STANFORD UNIVERSITY", April 18. In a meet full of form reversals and surprises California won the inter collegiate contest from the Cardinal a thletes this afternoon by a score of 6.1 2-5 to 58 3-5. Not until Vilas had secured place in the broad Jump was victory assured to the representatives of the state Institution. The prospects for a Stanford victory were blighted early In the meet when Reed, who wss counted on as a winner in both sprints. Injured the leg which has been bothering him of late and was forced out of the race, giving first In the 100 yards to Stanton, the Cali fornia captain. Stanton Breaks Jlccord. The quartf r-mlle proved to be all that was expected, Stanton winning in iiO.2, breaking the intr-eollegiate: rec ord by 3-5 of a second, after a heart breaking struggle with Brown, Stan ford's phenomenal freshman runner. Brown retrieved himself In the half by winning from Dowd In 1:59.2, lowering the former record by 3-5 second. Bradford, of Stanford, broke the previous record of 4:33.3 in the mile by covering the distance In the remark ably fast time of 4:32.3. In this race De Mamlel of California barely nosed out MacGregor for second place. Kelay Kace Kxcltlng. The relay race was one of the most exciting events of th day and resulted In the smashing-of the former record by the Stanford team, composed of Morris. Connan, Brown and Wyman. the time being 3:27.1 Brown was largely responsible for the ten yJrds by which the Berkeley relay team lost this race A new record of 25.3 was established in the 220-yard hurdles when Horton S and Johns (S) tied for first. The biggest surprise of the day came In the two-mile run. In which Sanford had three entries, with records of 10:13 or better, while the California two mllers had never done better than J0:30. !n spite of this gain Cali fornia won the event In 10:23, Adams taking second and being the only one of the Stanford's to gain a place, the record-holder suddenly became sick while running and was unable to finish. Only three California men qualified for the finals of the hammer throw. Summary: Summary of Meet. One mile Won by Bradford fS., Ie Mamiel C second.

OLDTIMK STARS WITH FRAKES Schmeer, Faye and Kirby Drennen to Help Against Vancouver. The Frakes and the Vancouver teams of the Tri-City league, after being dis appointed in their effort to pull off a scheduled game yesterday, will try it again this afternoon. The game will take place1 at the Vaughn-street grounds, providing Jupiter Pluvius behaves him self. The game will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock. Manager Whitehead of the Frakes has added Claude Schmeer, shortstop of the Portiand Pacific Coast League team of 1H03, who first won his spurs as a ball tower while with the famous Portland Monograms, who participated in a news paper league contest In California and won second place. Schmeer has. been out of the game for three years, but has kept himself in condition to play by practicing regularly. Joe Fay. another former Monogram player, will play second base, and Kirby Drennen will hold down left garden. Tim Concannon will probably heave them over for the Vancouver bunch and as he is rated as one of the best pitchers in the Tri-City League, the league leaders will have some difficulty In solving his puzzlers if he is right. Van couver will also play a new man named Hatch, an outfielder of considerable promise, who was recently secured by Manager Helser. The teams will line up a follows: FYakes. Position. Vancouver.

This immense and valuable tract contains more than four billion feet of the finest kind of hardwoods, high-priced, merchantable timber, and the cost to the company is less than twenty cents per thousand feet. Among the best qualities of this timber we mention lignum vitae, mahogany, balsam copoeba, cocoa bola, espava, mangrove, etc. The average price of this timber by the board foot is over one hundred dol lars per thousand feet. The company proposes to install a mill of suf ficient capacity to meet the present demand for, this fine lumber, which is enormous. In order to secure the necessary capital for this purpose, the board of directors has authorized the sale of 500,000 shares .of the treasury stock, of a par value of $1.00, for twenty cents per share. It is important to note here that each twenty cents invested in n share of this stock is secured by 1000 feet of standing, high-grade, mer chantable timber, valued at more than $100. Here is an investment for rich and poor alike. There is absolutely no risk attached to it. The company could, at this time, dispose of this timber at a good profit as it stands, but after thoroughly investigating every detail through experts, the board of directors deem it advisable to the best interests of all con cerned to install a mill, thereby securing the largest profits obtainable. We are already assured of contracts with firms throughout the coun try, who will purchase a large portion of our output, and at' prices which will net us profits that are remarkable. Persons interested and desiring to invest their money in a safe, big dividend-paying business, will do well to investigate this opportunity.

Deposits of This Mineral Found on Columbia Petrifies Both Trees . and Animal Flesh. SEATTLE, Wash.. April 18. (Special.) That some day burial will be out of fashion arrd the relatives of those that have gone before will preserve the bodies in the shape of Indestructible statues. Is the assertion of H. W. Beatley, secretary of the Pacific Coast Silica Clay Com pany, which has a vast deposit of silica Just across the Columbia River from Lyle, WasS. This silica acts as a preservative of both trees and animal flesh, turning such substances Into stone within a few months. It has" been determined that it will turn a human body Into stone also, preserving every feature perfectly Just as though it were white marble. In proof of his statements. Beatley exhibits several specimens of wood which have been thus treatefl. Beatley declares that the burial of hu man bodies is a custom that will pass away. Good ground is too valuable to be used as cemeteries and the cremation process is not destined to be popular, he says.

The meeting of Burns and Smith was the biggest affair of the kind ever held In Paris, where something of a crazo for boxing exists at present. It was wit nessed by a bit crowd, who paid high prices for their seats. Smith was a beaten man from the start, although he scored several ' heavy body blows in the first ami second rounds. The American showed much more skill than his opponent and after playing light with him, floored Smith with a left handcr in the third round. In the fourth round Burns had mat ters all his own way. fmlth was knocked down twice, but managed to get to his feet before the count ended.
