OREGON BUILDING, Panama-Pacific
International Exposition. San Francisco,
Feb. 27. (Special.) It's nice to bo an
Oregonian at the exposition, and it gets
nicer every day. I am just gradually
getting acquainted with even Oregon's
entire exhibit. I strolled into the Hor
ticultural building this morning and
ran right smack into Oregon again. I
had to bat my eyes hard; I thought
maybe I was seeing things for there
as plain as life was the Oregon build
ing all over again, and I had left Ore
gon safe and snug some hours before
at the other end of the Exposition
grounds. If there is anything abso
lutely substantial about the Fair, it is
the Oregon building?.
All the others might take wings and
fly but not those giant columns; and
yet but luckily right here C. N. Ravlin,
director of horticulture for Oregon,
and apparently on the epot and awake
every moment, came to my relief and
explained that this was only ar imi
tation of Oregon's state building, that
they had used their space in the Hor
ticultural building to continue the
name general plan that has proved so
attractive at the building. It really is
the loveliest thing. If I could only
whisper it to all the rest wouldn't
hear I would like to tell the straight
unvarnished truth and say it is the
tnost notable exhibit by far In the en
tire Horticultural building.
Greenery of Woods Abundant.
The entire framework, railings, par
titions, all the woodwork that sets the
Oregon exhibit off. are of Oregon logs
with the bark Intact. In between
double rows of these timbers, not so
large as those In the Oregon building
but sufficiently large to bo stately,
are growing- Oregon grape, Oregon
holly full of berries Easterners say
they never saw cuch holly, terns, misel
toe. brakes and all the many real
woodland greens that we of Oregon are
accustomed to in our woods.
This gives the beautiful natural ap
pearance, the natural environment In
which all the wonderful things ex
hibited live and thrive. One steps
bodily into Oregon. It Isn't Just a
sample here and there of what Oregon
raises, but you get the atmosphere of
the state. Mr. Ravlin says the first
dav of the exposition 0,000 people
visited this exhibit. The average for
the first three days he fixed at 364 a
minute.
Apple Acclaimed Beat Exhibit.
The great Hood River apple Is the
feature exhibit of the entire Horticul
tural building. Prominent publicity
run from all over the United States
ave visited the big apple and without
exception they proclaim It the finest
publicity exhibit on the entire grounds.
Of course every one In Oregon has
heard of it, mo I will describe It only
hrlefly. Standing ITVw feet high, a per
fect red apple In general appearance,
ham a huge bite taken out of one side.
In the anerture 1 a relief representa
tion of Mount Hood, Hood River Val
ley, the Columbia River, the apple or
chards and hills and mountains, and
r'aralleltng the river a tiny train of
cars that travels rapidly along on a
fine, smooth roadbed.
That little train, ro Mr. Ravlin fig
ured up. travels 3fl miles a day in Its
trip- along the river. The painting of
ttie apple Interior 1s most realistic and
Five a fins idea of the Hood River
Valley and of Mount Hood. Yet the
whole thing, from the outside, looks
. really like an apple.
One aaplng onlooker said to Mr. Rav
lin. "ik apples really grow that size
In Oregon?" Poor soul, she had seen
the Immense timbers of the state build
In and had been told that trees really
crvit that size, and she was ready to
believe almost anything.
Display Is Mads Atraclv.
Another nice feature, the apple dla
Tlav is all In mounds and bnnks. or in
attractive woodland baskets. This Is
so much wiser than merely placing the
apples In boxes, for no matter how
larse and fine and perfect thr are,
ihey are, after all, only a box of ap
tles. Oreaon cerUlnly lias captured' the
most modern idea of rieht advertising.
1 remember at lha 8t, foois fair how
ns was laden down with "frs sam
rles," with advertlnins; fosUra, with
printed nmtur. books, tlrouiars and
cards, and how on could Ret quits
luncheon from the "free" tastes of col
fee, cakes and soups. This had been
the method nd has been tip to tho
present. .
Sow the method is to photograph a
state or section on the visitor's mind
bv making the ahlhtt breathe the at
mosphere of tha state. This Oregon
has done more successfully than has
any other exhibit unless I except Can
ada and Japan.
The flowers and fern and shrubs
and bushes are transplanted. The logs
themselves that surround tba enclos
ure; the fruit that grows on her trees
and vines: and in the Oregon build
in hot only tha huge timbers from
which the structure 1 built btit the
materials that form tho booths, are
transplanted.
Location of Section Strategy.
A small workroom that was needed
In the Horticultural building also was
made of Oregon log. The Oregon sec.
lion's Walton In the northeast corner
of the building, opening on to the
Honolulu gardens and restaurant,
where natives ring. In Itself is a strat
egy, as a crowd moves continually from
one place to the other. After seeing
the Oregon exhibit It is pleasant to go
tiext door and be served some interest
ing Island dish and hear the Island
alnjrers.
The Oregon exhibit m tho Horticul
tural building received 15 credits from
the Exposition commissioners for Its
attractiveness and for being reidy on
time. When the Judging of exhibits
takes plnce this extra li credits will
come in handy.
Rogue River Valley pears, ail the
smaller frnlts of the Willamette and
other sections are well displayed and
hold admiring throngs.
Speaking of a state being transplant
ed bodily by means of Its exhibit, noth
ing "transplants" Oregon and all that
Oregon stands for better than the solid
comlort and home-like hospitality of
the big reception-room In the Oregon
building. I asked a number of people,
who were enjoying our fireside today
If they were Oregonians and they said:
"No, it Just looked so comfortable we

draw up by the big log fire that con
tinually blazes on Oregon's hearth, and
"feel so comfortable they Just stay."
Some way the room has got that com
fortable, at-home atmosphere. Any
man or boy would enjoy It, as hundreds
do. daily.
There are desks for writing and big
easy chairs plenty of them and substantial-looking
Navajo rugs that you
are not afraid to step on. This is the
quality of homlness that attracts. I be
lieve, and makes so many strangers
wander in and "Just stay." Mr. and
Mrs. J. J. Carr, of La. Grande, were en
Joying the fire today with Mrs. F. A.

Whatever you do when you come

exquisite patterns are in the wood

that no oil or stain la used, you under

Nature did when she planted myrtle in
Southern Oregon.
STREETCAR IS HELD UP
LOSE ROBBER AT RAYMOND RE
LIEVES CONDUCTOR OF 930.
Four Passengers Not Molested, lnt Are
Terrified by Shots Through Rear
When the Outlaw Leaves.
RAYMOND. Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe
cial.) A solitary highwayman held up
and robbed a South Bend bound street
car on the outskirts of this city at 9:30
o'clock last night, escaping with Con
ductor Walter Hicks' "poke," contain
ing between JI8 and 130, which repre
sented the conductor's receipts from
about 11 o'clock in the morning.
The robber boarded the car at Peters
street, which Is about eight blocks from
the City Hall, and rode to Coates' shin
gle mill before alighting with his
booty. He was masked and armed with
a heavy revolver and as he boarded
the car demanded of the four passen
gers, one of whom was a woman, that
they "hold up their hands and keep
quiet." His demands were heeded
promptly and when Conductor Hicks
handed over the day's receipts the rob
ber remarked that it was "a pretty
good haul."
The passengers were not molested,
but were badly frightened when, upon
leaving the car, the highwayman be
gan firing shots through the rear win
dows. The holdup, being the first in
this city, caused considerable excite
ment and attracted an army of people,
who went to the scene In automobiles
and other vehicles, in the hope of as
sisting in the capture of the perpe
trator, but thus far he has not been
apprehended.
TOPPENISH GAINS GREAT

TOPPENISH, Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe
cial.) Seven years ago Toppenish had
fewer than BOO people, with hardly
a brick building or a modern residence
in the town. .Today it has a popula
tion of more than 2000. with practi
cally every business house In the city
either brick, block or stone, and a large
number of fully modern residences.
.It has a sewer, system costing more
than J60.000, a municipal water plant
with a tank elevated 105 feet above
ground, and more than nine miles of
water mains. It also has 14 blocks
of pavement, three parks, three public
schools, six churches, 4000 shade trees
on the streets, 15 miles of graded
streets and 20 miles of sidewalks. It
has a second-class postoffice, with a
payroll of $8556 a year, free mail de
livery, free delivery of express, an
uptown telegraph office and distrib
uting stations for the Pacific Power
& Light Company and the Standard
OH Company.
For the year ended August 1, 1911,
there were shipped from Toppenish
2312 cars of hay, 285 cars of fruit, 6S?
cars of stock, 138 cars of potatoes, 58
cars of grain, 85 cars of melons and 20
cars of nursery stock. In addition,
many thousand pounds of express were
sent out.
The public schools own 20 acres of
land and conduct an experiment farm.
Manual training and domestic science
are among the branches . that are
taught.

W1U Be Selected.
T-NTVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Feb. 27. (Special.) More than 100
students have filed applications at the
registrar's office to act as guiaes n
the Oregon building at the Panan a
Pacific Exposition in San Franci-co.
Four men have been chosen. Two are
"on the Job" now and the other two
soon are to begin their duties.
During the months of the fair other
students, numbering between 20 and
30, will also be sent to the exposition.
The choosing of the men for positions
that so many have applied for has been
a matter of much concern to the uni
versity faculty, and as a result a wide
field of knowledge of state and mu
nicipal forms of government, indus
tries and established commerce has
been required of the students who are
to serve as guides.
An examination will be held at an
appointed tlnio and the final selections
will be made as a result of It
Baker Hunts Lost Tower.
BAKER. Or.. Feb. 27. (Special.)
What has become of half the expected
power from the new municipal lighting
plant? That Is the question bothering
Baker Commissioners. Commissioner
Finley says that when the plant was
constructed several months ago engin
eers estimated that it vsould produce
from 90 to 100 kilowatt hours of elec
tricity, but at present only half that
amount is being developed.
A hunt for the balance has been
made but the Commissioners cannot
find it. Commissioner Finley says it
is in the water wheel or in the pen
stock and he is now having the wheel
tested. The plant is running full but
the power Is only 50 per cent of what
It should be.

WAR AGAINST WAR
URGED BYH.G.WELLS
Pacificists Told to Organize to
Expose "Mangling "and
Malignant Mischief."
TOLERANCE COMES FIRST
Sedulous Propaganda of Truth of
War, and Ridicule of High. Sil
liness of Militarist Sug
gested as Remedies.
(Continued From First Page.)
in everyone a certain discord with
regard to war. Every man is divided
against himself. On the whole, most
of us want peace. But hardly any one
is without a lurking belligerence, a
lurking admiration for the vivid im
pacts, the imaginative appeals of war.
War lias Its Attractions.
I am sitting down to write for the
peace of the world, but immediately
before I sat down to write I was read
ing the morning's paper, and particu
larly of the fight between the Sydney
and the Emden at Cocos Island.
I confess to the utmost satisfaction
in the account of the smashing blows
delivered by the guns of the Austra
lian. There is a sensation of greatness,
a beautiful tremendousness, in many
of the crude facts of war; they ex
cite In one a kind of vigorous exalta
tion; we have that destructive streak
in us. and It is no good pretending that
we have not; the first thing we must
do for the peace of the world Is to
control that. And to control it one
can do nothing more effective than to
keep in mind the other side of the
realities of war.
As my own corrective I have at hand
certain letters from an able woman
doctor who returned last week from
Calais. Lockjaw, gangrene, men tied
with rags and lying bitterly cold In
coaly sheds; men unwounded, but so
broken by the chill horrors of the Yser
trenches as to be near demented such
things make the substance of her pic
ture. Officer Breaks Into Tears.
One young officer talked to her
Tather dryly of the operations, of the
ruined towns and villages, of the
stench of dead men and horses, of the
losses and wounds and mutilations
among his men, of the list of pals he
had lost.
"Suddenly he began to cry. He broke
down just like an overtaxed child. And
he could not stop crying. He cried and
cried and I could do nothing to help
him." He was a strong man and a
brave man, and to that three months
of war had brought him.
And then this again: .
"There were a fair number of Bel
gian doctors, but no nurses except the
usual untrained French girls, almost
no equipment and no place for clean
surgery. We heard of a house contain
ing 61 men with no doctor or nurse
several died without having received
any medical aid at all. Mrs. and
I even on the following Wednesday
found four men lying on straw in
- - . ... I , V. u- on rl fnnt wrtunriR which
had not been dressed since Friday and
had never been seen Dy a doctor, u
addition there were hundreds and hun
dreds of wounded who could walk try
ing to find shelter in some corner, be
sides the many unwounded French and
Belgian soldiers quartered in the town.
Misery Makes Inferno for All.
"As if this Inferno of misery were
not enough, there were added tho refu
gees. These were not Belgians, as I
had imagined, but French. It appears
that both English and French armies
have to clear the civil population out
of the whole fighting area partly to
prevent spying and treachery (which
has been a curse to both armies) and
partly because they would starve. They
are sent to Calais and then by boat to
Havre.
"That first Sunday evening an end
less procession flowed from the sta
tion to the quays in the drenching rain.
Each family had a perambulator (a
surprisingly handsome one, too) piled
with sticks of bread, a few bundles
of goods and. when we peered inside,
a couple of crying babies. There were
few young people; mostly it was whim
pering, frightened looking children and
wretched, bent old men and women. It
seemed too bad to be true: even when
they brushed past us in i the rain we
could not believe that their sodden fig
ures were real. They were demate
rialized by misery in some odd way.
Shipwreck Added to Horrors.
"Some of them slept In skating rinks,
trucks, some in the Amiral Ganteaume.
(One's senses could not realize that to
the horrors of exile these people had
added those of shipwreck next day.)
Some certainly stood in the booking

This sort of thing went on all the week.
ana was going vn wucu wo ivtt.
Nevertheless, I was stirred agreeably
by the Imagination of the shells smash
ing the Emden and the men inside the
Emden, and when I read the other
day that the naval guns had destroyed
over 4000 men in the German trenches
about Middleklrche I remarked that
we were "doing well." It Is only on the
whole that we who want to end the
war hate and condemn war; we are
constantly lapsing into fierceness, and
If we forget this lurking bellicosity
and admiration for hard blows In our
own nature then wo shall set about
the tasck of making an end to It tin
der hopelessly disabling 'misconcep
tions. We shall underrate and misun
derstand altogether the very powerful
forces that are against pacifist effort.
Let us consider first, then, tho forces
that are directly opposed to the pacifi
cation of the world, tho forces that
will work openly and definitely for the
preservation of war as a human con
dition. And it has to be remembered
that tho forces that are for a thing
are almost always more unified, more
concentrated and effective than the
forces that are against it.
Other Things to Be Preferred.
We who are against war and want
to stop it are against it for a great
multitude of reasons. There are other
things in life that we prefer, and war
stops these other things. Some of us
want to pursue art. some want to live
industrious lives in town or country,
some would pursue scientific develop
ments, some want pleasures of this
sort or that, some would live lives of
religion and kindliness, or religion and
austerity.
But we all agree in fixing our minds
upon something else than war. And

ar becomes possible and probable
irough our general Inattention. We
thr
do not observe It, and meanwhile the
people who really care for war and
soldiering fix their minds upon it- They
scheme how it shall be done, they
scheme to bring it about. Then we
discover suddenly as the art and so
cial development, the industry and
pleasant living, the cultivation of the
civil enterprises of England. France.
Germany . and Russia have discovered
that everything must be pushed

B&tUfactorv. organization, to wacb. IboMv
warmakers we shall never end war,
any more than a country can end
crime and robbery without a police.
Specialist must watch specialist in
either case. Mere expression of a
virtuous abhorrence of war will never
end war until the crack of doom.
Nucleus Must Be Destroyed.
Tho people who actually waut war
are perhaps never at any time numer
ous. Most people sometimes want war
and a few people always want war.' It
is these last who are, so to speak, the
living nucleus of the war creature that
we want to destroy. That liking for an
effective smash which gleamed out4 in
me for a moment when I heard of the
naval guns is with them a dominating
motive. It is not outweighed and over
come in them, as it is In me, by the
sense of horror and by love for men
who can do brave deeds and yet weep
bitterly for misery and the deaths of
good friends. These war lovers are
creatures of a simpler constitution.
And they seem capable of an ampler
hate.
You will discover if you talk to them
skillfully that they hold that war "en
nobles," and that when they say en
nobles they mean that it is destructive
to the 10,000 things in life that they
do not enjoy or understand or tolerate
things that fill them, therefore, with
envy and perplexity; such things as
pleasure, beauty, delicacy, leisure. In
the cant of modern talk you will find
them call everything that is not crude
and forcible in life "degenerate." But
back to the very earliest writings in
the most bloodthirsty -outpourings of
the Hebrew prophets, for example
you will find that at the base of the
warrior spirit is hate for more com
plicated, for more refined, for more
beautiful and happier living. t
Military Peoples Hard and Stupid.
The military peoples of the world
have almost always been hard and
rather stupid people, full of virtuous
India-nation of all thev did not under
stand. The modern Prussian goes to
war today with as supreme a sense or
moral superiority as the Arabs when
they swept down upon Egypt and North
Africa. The burning of the library of
Alexandria remains forever the symbol
of the triumph of a militarist "culture"
over civilization. This easy belief of
the dull and violent that war "braces"
comes out of a real Instinct of self
preservation against the subtler tests
of peace. This type of person will keep,
on with war if it can. It is to politics
what the criminal type is to social
order; it will be resentful and hostile
to every attempt to x up a pacuic
order In the world.
This heavy envy, which is the domi
nant characteristic of the pro-military
type, is by no means confined to it.
More or less it is in all of us. In Eng
land one finds it far less frequently in
professional soldiers than among
sedentary learned men. In Germany,
too, the more uncompromising ana
ferocious pro-militarism is to be found
in the frock coats of the professors.
Just at present England is full of vir
tuous reprehension of German military
professors, but there is really no
monopoly of such in Germany, and be
fore Germany, England produced some
of the most perfect specimens of ag
gressive . militarists conceivable. To
read Froude upon Ireland or Carlyle
upon the Franco-German war is to
savor this hate-dripping temperament
In Its perfection.
Bellicosity Largely Pathological.
Much of this literary bellicosity is
pathological. Men overmuch in studies
and universities get ill in tneir livers
and sluggish In their circulations; they
suffer from shyness, from a persuasion
of excessive and neglected merit, old
maid's melancholy and a detestation of
all the levities of life. And their suf
fering finds Its vent in ferocious
thoughts. A vigorous daily bath, a
complete stoppage of wine, beer, spirits
and tobacco and two hours of hockey
in the afternoon would probably make
decently tolerant men of all these fer
menting professional militarists. Such
a regimen would certainly have been
the salvation of both Froude and Car
lyle. It would probably have saved the
world from tho vituperation of the He
brew prophets those models for in
finite mischief.
The extremist cases pass to the aver
age case through insensible degrees.
We are all probably, as a species, a
little too prone to intolerance, and If
we do in all sincerity mean to end war
in the world we must prepare ourselves
for considerable exercise in restraint
when strange people look, behave, be
lieve and live in a manner different from
our own. The minority of permanently
bitter souls who want to see objection
able cities burning and men fleeing and
dying form the real strength in our
occasional complicities.

RAISE OWN CALVES URGED
O. A. C. Speaker Tells Dairymen
How to Succeed in Work.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Corvallis, Feb. 27. (Special.) "There
is only one practical way for the dairy
man to increase the herd and that Is to
raise his own calves," said Professor C
H. Eckles, professor of dairy hus
bandry. University of Missouri, when
speaking before the dairymen's con
vention during the farmers' week at
the Oregon Agricultural College. "Von
can't buy good stock, llelfers should
be raised with a good deal of care and
attention. You say It costs too much.
But I believe that, under any ordinary
conditions, you cannot afford not to
do it.
"They say about one cow out of every
three Is not going to be a profitable
animal, but the success of the dairy
farmer depends to no slight extent
upon tho careful rearing of the calves.
The careful dairyman sees in every
heifer calf the possibility of a cow that
will not only replace a discarded mem
ber of his herd, but help to raise the
average production. By proper care In
the choice or the sire ana Dy careiui
attention to the rearing of tho calves,
the dairyman who is compelled to start
with a herd of ordinary quality may.
within a few years raise the average
of production of his hfrd to a niwrked
