FAMOUS JAPANESE WHO ARRIVED IN PORTLAND YESTERDAY AND CONSUL WHO GREETED THEM
Baron Uriu Scouts Possibility
of War Between Japan and
States on Tactical Basis.
COUNTRYMEN SHOW HONOR
Intimation Given That Subjects of
Mikado Need Larger Territory,
bnt Assertion Is Made Tlint
Thejr Are Contented Here.
Hope that into the American melting
pot will be cast the Japanese and that
the blood of Nippon will be fused
with that of other races was ex
pressed earnestly yesterday by Admiral
Baron Sotokichi Uriu. hero of the Rus-sion-Japanese
war. who, with Baroness
Uriu and his suite reached Portland
yesterday on his way back to Japan
after 40 days spent at the Panama
Paciflc Exposition, where he acted as
commissioner from his own govern
ment. The baron talked frankly and his
lews, he said, were entirely informal.
His remarks should be interpreted, he
declared, as those of any individual
talking to another, without giving them
undue weight or as coming from any
official representative of his nation.
"I have great hope." he said, "of
the mingling of the Japanese with the
American race. When I was in Amer
ica 40 years ago, I thought such a thing
Impossible and the thought never en
tered my mind that our people would
. work here as they do today. Our ways
were so different from your own that
I could not see ahead what conditions
would come about. But now I find our
people in this country wearing Ameri
can dress and with the customs of
Amerioans. I do not know whether
they can speak English or not but In
appearance they are Americans.
Extravagant Trend Muted.
"The Japanese soon assimilate and
they make good citizens, too. Our peo
ple like nice things. They may be
said to have become somewhat ex
travagant: perhaps this, too, is an in
dlcation that they make good Ameri
cans. At home we are poor because
of this extravagance and also because
we have so many people for our limited
territory.
This led to expressions from the
baron as to Japan's "place in the
sun." That a race of such surprising
vigor could forever be confined in the
limits of the Japanese Archipelago
might be doubted after listening to
the baron's remarks. lie discussed
frankly, but with the Intimation that
bis remarks were not to be tr.ken too
seriously, the fact that population
moves to where it can gain food.
These movements, he said, were in
evitable and all history was but the
record of races seeking food, in other
words, its "place in the sun." "The
people must have food." he said, "for
none can turn the primary instinct
aside."
As to where Japan might seek its
logical outlet. Baron Uriu could not
say. "We are happy at home now,"
was his remark.
War Taoaeht Impossible,
Be doubted seriously that the United
States and Japan would ever go to war
against each other. Aside from all
reasons of friendship and closer trade
relations that are becoming established
between the two countries, which
would prevent war, he urged, from a
fighting man's standpoint, the serious
difficulties of the side that should make
the attack.
"We are too far away from each
other," he said.
In his democratic qualities, his
frankness and his fame as a sea
tighter. Baron t'riu niny be compared
to our own "Flchtlng Bob'" Evans, of
beloved memory. Although a diplo
mat, since his retirement from the
navy with the title of Admiral last
year, the Baron does not speak in
engtmas and is much like an American
in his frank discussion of things. He
said Japanese ideas are changing
home, that modern progress has be
come the keynote and that Japan has
world problems to face.
His home is at Okawara. near Tokio,
which he says he lias written to Amer
ican friends is the most beautiful place
in the whole world.

Pro Inert.
"It is much like your San Diego in
climate." he said. "Tt is nice and warm
for the old man. Tou can see the sea
rind the mountains there. I like it
very much."
It was desired to give Baron Uriu
a dinner or reception last nia-ht. but
he said that after undergoing 40-odd
days of banqueting and social affairs
at S.in Francisco in connection with
his duties at the Fair, he asked for
quiet. He expressed surprise at the
large mnnber of Japanese residents of
Portland that met him at the Union
Depot yesterday when he alighted from
the Shasta Limited, and be was also
Impressed with the size of Portland.

Baron la Annapolis Graduate.
The Baron Is himself a graduate of
tne inited Mates -Naval Academy at
Annapolis and is of the class of 1881.
He is 58 years old. Lie visited this
country six years ago to attend
class reunion. He was made a Baron in
1?07 and bears the decorations of the
Order of the Rising Sun and the Order
ci tne uoiden Kite.
As a lighting man his reputation
rests chiefly upon the naval battle of
Chemulpo, where his fleet sank two
Russian warships, the Korietz and the
arms', in an engagement lasting 35
minutes. These ships have been raised
and are now a part of the Japanese
navy. During the war he commanded
the second squadron, but he disclaims
any praise for his sea fights, modestly
sayinc t:;at to Admiral Togo belongs
all the credit.
Americans ray Respects.
Baron and Baroness Uriu were wel
comed at the station yesterday by
Consul K. Kumasaki, S. Ban' and a
number of other prominent Japanese
and many of his countrymen, who
bowed low with bared heads a's the
distinguish visitor made his way to
the street from the train. At the Port

the Presidential suite, there were many
raners. including it. a. iiiuer, w. H.
Crawford and Burnett Goodwin, presi
dent, vice-president and secretary re
spectively of the Oriental Society: O.
M. Clark. W. D. Wheelright and others.
He was accessible to callers and said
it was a genuine pleasure for him to
meet his American friends.
He spoke in the highest terms of the
two California expositions and ex
pressed the hope that he will return
to the United States, where he has ao
many friends, before long.

CLACKAMAS!, Or., April 3. (Spe
cial.) Fuyuko Fukai, the fourth-grade

ed school in Harmony and iJifnnyside,
where she Uvea.
The contest was one of a series In
Clackamas County conducted by Super
intendent Calavan and the supervisors.
Much interest and good-natured riv-
lry was manifested by the patrons
and pupils in the spelling revival.
We are always busy, because our success is due to the fact that we
do the very best work at very lowest prices

Tito Divisions In Contest.
There were two divisions and each
school was entitled to a team of two
in each division. The first division.
which was composed of pupils from
the fourth and fifth grades, was to
spell from sections 1, 2 and 3 of the
spelling book. The. second division was
selected from the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades and was to spell the
words in the remaining sections. Only
one trial was allowed each contestant.
Mr. l'ittman, of the Oregon Norma
School, was Introduced by Superintend
ent Calavan and spoke briefly to the
children, after which the first division
mood in line while he pronounced the
words. There were ten contestants.
They represented Evergreen, Holcomb,
Stone. East Clackamas and Sunnyside.
One by one, six left the ranks and
Fuyuko Fukai. Milo Mumpower, of
Stone: Eleanor Melunger, of Kvergreen,
and Margerith Mortensen, of Sunny

"Collar' and "Vsnkee" missed.
Soon Milo Mumpower missed the
word "collar." The three spelled until
Margerith Mortentten failed to capi
talize the word "Yankee." The remain

She was congratulated by almost
everyone present and accepted the non
ores modestly, fahe gave the following
reason for her success:
"I studied spelling at home and.
whenever I had time, at-school, too.
I did not think I was going to win at
all. I thought the girl beside me was
going to be winner. I did not think of
anything else, but just listened to the
man that was 'pronouncing. The girl
that missed "'bouquet' knew how to
spell it, but she made a mistake, and
am glad about it.
Man Writes to Child.
She has received many consratula
tions through the mail. One letter
came from a man In Sawtelle. Cal.
who had read of her success in the Los
Angeles paper. It was full of encour
asrement for the little Japanese girl
to do her best always and asking her
to reply if she could.
Little Miss Fukai Ic a smart, am
bitious child, and spelling is not the
only one of her studies in which she
pYrels.
Superfntendent Calavan gave out the
words to the second division and Mr.
Pittman acted as referee. This match
was won by Myrtle Mortensen, ol Suni
nyside, who spelled to page 205.

APPROVAL GIVEN TO BONDS
Tabor Heights Improvement Club
Gives Unanimous Indorsement.
The Tabor Heights Improvement As
sociation adopted resolutions at a spe
cial meeting Friday night in Wright's
Hall approving by unanimous vote the
oroDOsed bond issue of 11.250,000 for
completing the Columbia Highway and
hard-surfacing the trunk roads or the
county. Whitney Jj. Boise, member of
the good roads committee, explained
the reason why these bonds are to be
issued, where the money will be used
and what the effects will be. He em
phasized the point that nearly $1,000,
000 of the money will go for labor, to
men who are asking for work and not
for charity, and said that about 2500
men would be given work on the many
contracts both on the trunk roads and
on the Columbia Highway.

SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HI
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Thickness and Lustre
at Once.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and - alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant: remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea -and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-use
tonic costing about 60 cents a large
bottle, at drugstores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthiul appearance and attraotlve
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. Tou just dampen a sponge or
soft' brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Adv.
