METHODIST SCHOOL FIRST Statement That Chloe Boone Was Initial School Teacher Corrected. The Oregonian inadvertently stated In last Sunday's issue that the school opened and taught by Chloe Boone, on the banks of the La Creole River, in the Oregon Country, in 1846-47, was the first school on the Coast outside of the Spanish missions. This was a mis take easily recognizable by anybody conversant with early Oregon history. The Methodist missions already had been established at Willaptai, Walla WaHa and in the Willamette Valley, looking to the education of the natives. The particular distinction in Miss Boone's case is that hers was the first American school west of the Rocky Mountains, taught by a woman, out side the missions, Spanish, Methodist or otherwse. The queston is asked if there is any educational edifice in Portland or in the state bearing this pioneer woman's same. Chloe Boone Curry. 'WE'LL BOOST THIS ROUTE' This State Should Benefit Almost as Much as California Xext Year, Is Sentiment Visitors See Sights and Dine. "Oregon is more like home than any other state we have been In." This was the tribute paid this state by Senator A. J. Cummings, of Mary land, who headed the party of Mary land commissioners, who arrived here on their return trip from San Fran cisco, where they have been selecting a site for their state building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. His senti ment was seconded enthusiastically by J. McTrippe, C. D. Benson and Charles A. Morrow, the other commissioners in the party. The party had Just returned from an automobile trip on the skyline boulevard to Council Crest, and having lunched at the Commercial Club, were preparing to pile into the automobiles which the reception committee had provided for them for a run out to Chanticler. "What we have seen already has converted us thoroughly to the belief that 'via Oregon' and the Northwest is the route over which exposition tour ists should buy their tickets next year," said Mr. Cummings. "You will find our commission a sincere set of boos ters for this route. The flood of travel that will come through the Northwest next year should make it possible for you to reap almost as much benefit from the exposition as California." The entire party was in the most op timistic spirit. "Oh. yes, there is some depression in business in the East," said one, un concernedly, "but we're not worried much about It. I think that everyone can look for things to brighten up from now on. as conditions become more settled after the radical changes of the past few months." The Maryland building site is on the old Kentucky site and is near the Ore gon building. Maryland has appro priated $75,000 for the erection of the building. The commission declares that it also will take immediate steps when it reaches Baltimore to have prepared a suitable flag or plate for the dedica tion of its pillar in the Oregon build ing. The Marylanders will remain in Port land unil this evening, when they will go to Seattle for a short visit before returning East. R. A. McCormack, chairman of the commission, and J. C. Roulette were detained in San Fran cisco, but will reach Portland today. Several former Marylanders assisted G. M. Hyland and members of the Ore gon commission in entertainment of the visitors yesterday. Among those on the impromptu committee of former Maryland men were J. L. Hartman, J. Mcl. Wood, A. King Wilson, President H. D. Hamsdell, of the Commercial Club; Tom Richardson and W. J. Phillips. 4 TAKEN IN DRUG RAID MpRPHINE AND COCAINE SEIZED AT Cl'STOMS-HOtSE CAKE. REALTY SALE ATTRACTS MORE THAN 300 PIECES OF PROP ERTY LISTED. FOR AUCTION. Fred A. Jacobs Company to Offer Two Office Buildings, Several Apartment-Houses and Lots. The announcement made by the Fred A. Jacobs Company of the date of its auction in the big dining-room of the Portland Hotel has attracted much in terest to this event.

Ex-Public Defender Lonentbal Among: Men Arrested Warrant Issued for Bartender. Four men were arrested and a quan tity of morphine and cocaine taken in a raid early yesterday on the Customs-House Cafe. With this capture, the police believe they have unearthed the headquarters for drug fiends in Portland. Adolph Lowenthal, ex-public defender in the Municipal Court; Harry L. Wil liams, William I. Hutchison and Benf Miles were "Chose arrested. The raid was conducted by Special Agent E. B. Sandefer, of the State Board of Pharmacy; Sergeant Wells and Patrolmen Huntington, Harms and Johnson. Lowenthal was released on his own recognizance, as he is wanted chiefly as a material witness. Hutch ison is charged with selling morphine and cocaine and with having it in his possession. He and Miles were re leased on 1500 bail each. A warrant was issued later yester day for the arrest of Gus Switzer, bar tender in the Customs-Hou6e Cafe, charging him with selling the drugs. Special Agent Sandefer suspected that drugs were being sold at this cafe. Two weeks ago E. J. Maglus, proprietor of the Albina drugstore, was convicted of selling morphine and co caine, and the drug fiends' ring was apparently broken. Then information of a new place began to come to the ears of the officers. The officers at first could find no trace of drugs. The cash register finally was opened and several small packages were found. These and hypodermic syringe, taken from Wil liams, are held as evidence. Attorney Lowenthal recently re turned from San Francisco, and the authorities say they are making in quiries as to his conduct while there The case will come before Municipal Court Monday. Burton S. Snyder, of Norm Yakima, Tells of Buying Land in California Grant. METHODS ARE EXPOSED Representation Made That Sales Were Being Handled Directly by Railroad Company, Says Wit ness Who Found Buyers,. Only two witnesses, Burton 8. Sny dor, a former real estate broker, of North Yakima, Wasn.. and Fred I Col vig, itecoraer or Jackson County, tes tified yesterday In the trial of W. F. MInard, J. W. Logan and E. J. Sellers, charged in the United States District Court wltn misuse of the malls in con ""tiiun wii.n locating purchasers on disputed lands of the Oregon & Call- iornia liallroad Company's grant. Mr. Snyder testified that he formerly served as an agent for Mr. MInard. The gist or his testimony yesterday was an exposition of the alleged manner in which people who wanted land were re Iieved of their money without recelvinc aeeas. He told how Mr. Minard had appoint ed him in 1909 on a minimum chance basis of $75 to look up applicants for locations. His commission, he said, was to vary between 25 and 140, according to how much money the purchaser paid. while the witness was referring to the communications received from Mi nard pertaining to business matters. copy of one of the advertising circu lars referred to as received by him was read by District Attorney Reames. Un der the heading. "Timber, Your Oppor tunity If You Will," the circular told how the company would be forced to sell the lands or a receiver would dis pose of them at a quotation of $2.60 an acre. The lands were said to be worth an average of $60 an acre. A clear and perfect title would be grant ed, the circular said, at the regular grant price to those who applied early, Mr. Snyder testified that Mr. MInard had given him to understand that he was .the acting attorney for the land department of the Oregon & California Railroad, officials of which felt that they would lose the property unless they sold it at the grant price of $2.60 an acre. Acting in good faith, Mr. Snyder said, he secured over a score of applicants. who paid him approximately $2000. This money, he said, was forwarded to Mr. Minard, after the commission had been deducted. Receipts were given by Mr. Minard, he said. Convinced of the reg ularity of the transactions. Mr. Snyder said that he purchased some of the land himself. He testified that he did not resign as agent until th,e Spring of 1910, when he read newspaper ac counts alleging that the scheme was fraudulent. Mr. Colvig identified duplicate ap plications said to have been filed by Minard as county record on 39 tepa rate tracts of land. The trial will be resumed Monday at 2 P. M. Because of the large number of witnesses yet to be heard, it is est! mated that the case will not be con eluded for about two weeks. . - te.. -SJSwtisi-. 1 sMrAi'TsisMsWssssssHisVlsssI . 75 GOING TO GAMP PERS0NAL MENTION.
