Mateel Howe at the Seattle Fair
WIEN- Oregonlans visit the Fair at
Seattle they very naturally make a
?peclal effort to see their own
rtate'bulldlng. and as I am an adopted
Oregonlan. I. of course, -went to the Ore
gon building- aa soon as possible not that
It requires any special effort to see the
building, aa It la very centrally located,
and one could hardly avoid seeing it even
If one tried. It Is on Nome. Circle and di
rectly across from the Forestry building.
The grounds about are very beautiful
and the building Itself, built on straight,
simple linrs, is all that the most critical
Orconian could desire. Inpide and out
it is"W.lt of Oregon material and R
designed by an Oregon architect. The
limher used In Its construction, the beau
tiful woods In which it is finished, the
pictures that decorate its walls, the rugs
on tlie flooors of tlie rest and recreation
rooms, the product on display all come
from Oregon. And It is. to be cure,. In
charge of Oregon ians.
Manv state buildings are built simply
as places of r-st and comfort. Most of
them are beautiful buildings and P"V"
ant pUces to spend an hour or two. but
they do not always have much In them
of Interest or much to look at. As I
rememb-r the Oregon building at the
Lew! and Clark Fair it was more a
beautiful building where one could rest
than a show place. But the Oregon
building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
reposition Is one large advertisement,
from start to finish, of Oregon s re
sources and possibilities, and there are
a thousand things to see.
Of course there Is a very pleasant
. pa-lor or drawing-room and one or two
ret rooms, where a tired sight-seeress
can take a nap or powder her nose or
read a magazine-an Oregon magazine
too. Moreover, there are concerts and
singing everv afternoon In the big drawing-room.
But these rooms are mere In
cidents. The real purpose of the Oregon
building is to advertise Oregon. "V'ou
can rest if you want to. but you are not
particularly encouraged to rest. In the
fir.ot place there Is a large lecture room,
which seats about 150 people, where lec
tures are delivered every 20 minutes.
These lectures are necessarily about
Oregon and are Illustrated with moving
pictures. The "day I was there the lec

it Is dry, common laborers are leaving
the town by hundreds, and the steel
plant is menaced with a scarcity of
unskilled labor.
Saloons were wiped out of Gary a
year ago last March. It was a unique
situation which brought about prohi
bition. On the Indiana statute books is
an act popularly called the Moore re
monstrance law. By its provisions,
when a majority of the voters at the
last previous election petition tor the
banishment of saloons and the prohl
hibitlon of the sale of intoxicating
drinks, the will of the voters so ex
pressed Is mandatory on the county
commissioners and the saloons must
go. ,
At the time of the last 'previous
lection." Gary was a very small town
o small that it required only 185
voters to put the remonstrance law into
effect. This handful of voters, led by
a Methodist preacher, made the town
legally "dry." although at the minute
prohibition became operative there
were J000 qualified voters in Gary, the
great majority of whom were, and are

Only two of the four reservations
had been opened for bars when tne
Methodist preacher "got through the
remonstrance law. The places, of
coures, were closed up at once. The
steel corporation could control the
situation In Its own plant, but It was
powerless to prevent a reign of law
lessness and immorality in the
patch," a territory adjoining the
steel city on the south. In that com
munity scores of "blind pigs'- were
conducted in almost open defiance of
the law. The vilest sort of immoral
resorts sprung into existence. Condi
tions became so bad that the town
board was forced to put the lid down
tight. It Is still down, and that la the
reason many common laborers are de

unhappy. So I smiled very fweetly-or
at least smiled my sweete.t-and said to
Mr. Wehrung that I thought it would be
such a splendid advertisement for Ore
gon to give apples away to all who came.
I said they looked so delicious and so
tempting and Mr. Wehrung Immediately
sent down Into cold storage anrfi got me
two great big beauties which tasted bet-te-
than they looked. I did not mean to
hint, but I could not help it. All my life
I have looked at fruit and longed for It
when on display, but this being the finest
display of apples I ever saw. I J net had
to have an apple. And what one Just has
to have one generally getsby one means
or another.
The apples on display, by the way,
have been In cold storage since last year
and out of cold storage over a month.
I Imagined that they would have to be
changed very often, but I was told that
thev kept In perfect condition for as
long as six weeks. Ifs pretty warm too

will be shown. This Is just between sea
sons for fruits, because we raise other
things in the fruit line than apples and
the exhibitors try to show as much as
they can.

"Certainly." was the prompt "P'y
"take Zanatello if you like him and he
will consent."
Zanatello was glad enough to come
to the rescue and to piece out the
money harvest for himself. After it
was all over and ' Mr. Hammersteln
tried to find a P place to give his song
birds a try-out in Chicago, he dis
covered that any design of his along
that line had been blocked. The one
house In town where grand opera can
be successfully given, had signed a
contract with the Metropolitan people,
one of the provisions of which was
that the house should not be given
over for grand opera to rival organi

the provision was aimed at him, hence
the plan for revenge.
Oscar's unofficial contract with Chi

ANOTHER NOVEL BUT INEXPENSIVE BUNGALOW
By the Bnngalowcraft
HH feature of this house is the large
t living-room running through and
.nninir hv hroad French windows
on a back porch, which faces the open
court or patio.
rm... tinn of this house is nui ex
pensive, the object being to get aa much
room and aa many conveniences as pos
sible at the lowest cost, and yet to secure
an attractive and artistic exterior. This
house can be built on a 50-foot lot, but it
will look much better on a wider lot, wit
lawn and shrubbery on one side at least.
The house is 42 feet front and it has an
average depth of S4 feet. It should be
built In Southern California for about
$1800. or with hardwood floors and paneled
wainscoting and beamed ceildlngs in the
living and dining-rooms for $1800.
There is a fine large front porch which
opens directly into the living-room. This
room with its bullt-ln seats, broad fire
place and exposed stairway. It will be
seen is a living-room in fact and not
only In name., The dining-room opens
from the living-room through a wide but
tressed ope'nlng with a drop-beam effect
and bookcases 4 feet inches high are
built In the buttresses at each side of
the opening. The dining-room is a
charming room, very light, being, in fact,
almost surrounded on two sides by win
dows. A strong feature of the house is
the ease and thoroughness with which it
may be ventilated. The kitchen is built
In full cabinet style. The dining-room has
a handsome bullt-ln buffet, and In the
kitchen, beside the buffet, will be noteJ
the cooling closet. There Is a commodi
ous screen porch with wash trays and
broom closet. The bedrooms are of good
size and the bathroom is conveniently lo
cated. There are three large closets for
the bedrooms and a linen closet which
opens from the bathroom.
Upstairs the floor is to be laid, but at
the price mentioned above the rooms will
not be finished. Two large bedrooms and
on small one with closets can be built
on the second floor.
The exterior construction of the house
is all of wood In rough finish to be
stained. An economical feature of the
house is the single chimney which an
swers for both living-room, fireplace and
kitchen flue. The complete iplans and
specifications for this house qost $10, and
the entire arrangement, as well as the
exterior appearance are well worthy of
careful study.

WHERE DULL CARE

That applies to the selection of a place
at. which to spend an afternoon or even
ing. There is only one "best" place The
Oaks.
This favorite amusement park in all it3 his-
tory never was more beautiful than now. The
grounds contain masses of the choicest flow
ers; the great oaks shield the visitor from
the hot rays of the sun; the outlook is of the
picturesque Willamette, and the amusement
features are as nearly complete as an ex
penditure of time and money can produce.
One of the best bands in the country fur
nishes the highest class music in two con
certs afternoon and evening. Signor Du
mond, the talented operatic tenor, goes on
the programme Sunday and will continue
through the week, this notable addition to
the concert being made as another compli
ment to visitors. An added attraction is pre
sented in Mme. Schell and her trained lions,
Prince and Babe. All who have seen these
handsome animals agree in saying they are
the most beautiful specimens of the king of
beasts ever seen in this country.
Among the regular features are the chutes,
scenic railway, figure 8, tickler, crazy house,
dreamland, roller" skating rink, dancing pa
vilion, shooting galleries, old mill, "hell,"
boating, swimming pool, postal photographs,
candy and bon-bon booths, luncheon pa

magic mirrors, road to Dublin, and many
. others.

tion officials been stubborn in the dispute-which
has just been settled,, that
side quickly would have lost the sym
pathy and support of the public, f or
tunately the men who carried on the
negotiations were alert enough to see
this fact sticking out prominently.
Moreover, It so happened there were
broad-minded men on both sides and,
although the fight was a stubborn one,
there was jn reality very little danger
of a tleup which would have paralyzed
the city.
In the agreement made fully four
fifths of the streetcar employes obtain
an immediate advance in wages not
quite so much as they asked for, but
enough to show that the traction offi
cials were disposed to treat with their
men in good faith. It Is believed the
graded system of pay provided for in
the terms of settlement, will be better
liked the longer It is In operation. The
service to the public Is likely to bene
fit by this arrangement. To continue
In his. Job and get the higher pay which
comes with length of service, the motor
man and the conductor. It Is expected,
will be more efficient and more careful.
Chicago, as a city, will lose a big per
centage of the net profits flowing into
the treasury by the proprietorship in
streetcar operation, but It can afford
that if the number of persons killed
by the cars is reduced in proportion as
operating efficiency is Increased.

Taft's Great Birthday Trip
President Taft Is in for the biggest
birthday celebration he ever had .in his
life. It develops he will leave Washing
ton on his long Western tour on his 5-d
birthday anniversary. He will not reach
Chicago until the next day. but the people
along the route of his travel will see that
the day is not one to be forgotten in the
Presidential experience. It Is another
very interesting coincidence that tlie
birthday anniversary of President Dial,
of Mexico, falls on the same day as that
of President Taft. Exactly a month after
their birthdays these two chief magis
trates of sister republics are to meet on
the international bridge between El Paso,
Tex., and Juarez. Mexico. There they
will exchange courtesies and salutations.
As suggested in a previous dispatch to
The Oregonlan, the" President is not ex
pected to fire one of his heavy guns in
Chicago. It Is to be a day of fun and
cameraderle rather than of intellectual
jousts. Mr. Taft will arrive In time for
a noon luncheon, given by the Commer
cial Club. In the afternoon he will visit
the Art Institute to look over the plans
for the "Chicago Beautiful." Thence he
goes to a bast-ball game. In tlie early
evening he will be entertained at dinner
by the Hamilton Club and later will oc
cupy a box at the ball of the American
Bankers' Association in tlie Auditorium.
Mrs. Annie Besant, high priestess of
theosophy, who has been here to tell
Chicago about "wireless thought," may
have solved a problem for the man who
stavs out late at night and wants to get
home in a hurry. Thought vibration, ac
cording to her theory, can be projected
with such force as to make the distant
"cabbie" turn around without being
called, drive up to the curb and await
the pleasure- of his prospective passenger.
Indeed, Mr. Passenger need not call out
