PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL
-EXPOSITION. June 12. (Special.)
. The Oregon horticultural exhibit has
. won the gold medal at the Panama-
Pacific International Exposition, as
told in The Oregonian dispatches last
, Wednesday. This medal was won in
inclose competition with many of the
v states. foreign countries and the
I'-famous California fruit and flowers.
T There was not an Oregon man on the
- Jury.
' No special display was made at the
t last moment. Oregon spent on its
T horticultural exhibit, including- main
7 tenance. a total of $2500. Washington
i Bpent $7400. California spent a great
5 deal more. On the judging Jury were
-.12 men, famous horticulturists from
7 the- East, two from Japan, one from the
; Netherlands and two from California.
. They made a careful detailed survey
" of every exhibit and they made- their
;;, decision on merit and merit alone.
J" Oregon's success exploded a bomb
... among horticulturists on the grounds.
Why? Everyone Is visiting the horti
C cultural building, hunting ouLthe far-
famed Hood River apple, to know why.
Simply, the answer is this: C. N. Rav
Slin, chief of horticulture for the State
J of Oregon, owning and operating a
it. ranch in Hood River for the past six
J ears, puts his whole soul and bis
jl whole intelligence into what he under
v takes. He worked like a Trogan to
lave Oregon properly represented. His
. idea of proper representation for his
state was to put Oregon literally into
.: the exposition.
Frills Left Oat of Display.
He used Oregon logs and timber for
the framework of the booth. He used
Oregon lumber for the flooring. He
. used Oregon shrubbery live shrub
' bery planted in real earth and daily
'' watered and looked after, for a hedge
'about the Oregon exhibit and then he
displayed the best of Oregon hortl-
cultural products in the most ttrao-
tive manner.
', He didn't concern himself with frilly
i effects. lattice work and other orna
"mentation foreign to a horticultural
; exhibit. Every single solitary item
used in the booth was not only from
Oregon but could be used hortleultur
r ally. It was an exclusive horticultural
t display. Others bad done more elab
orate things, but they did rot repre
sent horticulture. Our whole display
' is pre-eminently characteristic of our
, state.

won the gold medal.
Attempt to Please la Foremost,
Mr. Ravlin is the happiest man on
the exposition grounds today. I asked
him how it all happened. "I had an
idea." he said, "of making a cool, rest
ful place that would stand out in the
eye of the spectator who bad been see
ing many things at the exposition. I
wanted to attract him with a quiet,
woodland scene that would draw him
into its depths. The log cabin further
carried out this effect, while at the
same time it fulfills a necessary func
tion as a small store and tool house.
"I made every feature of the booth
contribute to the one end of pleasing
and resting the eye. Just as a country
scene does, and at the same time each
thing used had to be a pure Oregon
horticultural product. I made no extra
effort to win the Jury's attention.
Washington spent $1500 Just recently
in a final effort to make sure of the
gold medal. W did not spend an extra
cent. Naturally I am extremely gratified.'
A shipment of Hood River straw-'
berries here took his attention. They
bad Just arrived, making the 700-mile
Journey without refrigeration during
warm weather, and were in perfect
condition. The asparagus display is
the finest to be seen on the grounds.
It is interesting to know that C. N.
Ravlin la a clergyman's son, who be
came a newspaper man in San Fran
cisco and who later was connected
with the business staff of the Orpheum
Theater. Five years ago, feeling the
nervo wear and tear of city life, he
decided to become a horticulturist.
He chose Hood River, after a survey
of the whole Coast, because he be
lieved in the -future of Oregon fruits,
particularly apples. Their firmness and
keeping qualities won his preference
from a purely commercial point of
view. He bought a new ranch in the
rough, cleared it, and in these five
years has made it one of the show
places of Hood River.
He had never thrust a spade into the
ground or weeded an onion before he
undertook to be a rancher in Oregon.
His ranch la called Long Pines, and is
noted for its beauty aa well as its profit.
Mrs. Ravlin has been an enthusiastic
partner with her husband in this "back
to the soil" undertaking. She, too, was
of the city, city born and city bred,
and knew nothing whatever of ranch
life five years ago. Mrs. Ravlin la
with her husband at the exposition,
and takes as keen a pleasure in the
success of Oregon products as he does.

chief of operations, and the Navy Gen
eral Board are seeking to apply the
lessons of the European war to the
needs of the American Navy.
It 13 generally admitted, however,
that so far little information has come
back from the American naval experts
in Europe. Some of the needs under
tonsideration are the number and type
of fast cruisers, improved efflcienoy of
submarines and means by which dread
noughts may resist torpedoes.
This latter problem is one of the
most serious confronting the naviesof
the world today. So far as is known
here only two warships struck by
either torpedo or mine have been
known to escape. Of these one waa
struck far forward and the other far
aft.

BT EUBT FLINT HUGHES,
PARIS. April 87. (Special.) Great
threatening clouds rolled angrily from
the east across the sky of cobalt blue.
Days when there is heavy cannonading
at the front, if the wind be fr,om the
east, these clouds come thick and fast
In. fantastic forms. Above, under and
piercing them, Ave aeroplanes were
flying.
Such was the picture that greeted
me as I descended from the tramway
at the Place de l'Arc de Triumph do
1'Etoile. The quartier du beaumonds
of yesterday meant wealth, fashion,
tango and waltzes. Today, it repre
sents a wealth of patriotism, a robe
of white with a. cross of red over the
heart and lingers denuded of Jewels
that gently bandage the wounded of
war. The whole soul breathes the
Marseillaise,
At 1'Etoile is situated most of the
large, modern hotels of Paris. Without
exception. they have been converted
into hospitals. The Elyse is directed
by the great dressmaking establish
ments, the Carleton is Russian, the
Astoria la Japanese. The other hotels
are indicated by number.
Hotel Abolishes Former Vnxary.
The Hotel Astoria has yielded its
luxury and modern appointments to
the sterner demands of war. The Jap
anese have installed their marvelous
medical equipment, brought ' from
Japan. The rigorous rules allow only
the visits of members of the families
bf the wounded.
In the vestibule stand military
guards, silent, serious, correct.
On February IS this hospital waa
opened by two noted Japanese sur
geons from Tokio and seven assist
ants. The needless luxury was abol
ished and precision, order and cleanli
ness established above all else.
As -we passed up to the fourth floor
tho soldier operating the elevator
gave a military salute. The room in
which was stored the drugs was pre
cision in Itself.
The next room visited across the hall
Was piled to the ceiling "with cotton
and on all sides were packages. As we
went on toward' the operating rooms
we passed In the hall various recep
tacles for waati, all most sanitary.
We visited the room for the culture
of microbes. Here two Japanese were
analyzing the different disease breed
ing germs.
The operating rooms we found
splendid, spacious. airy and well
lighted. " These were for treating the
wounded not infected. The first room
contained a marvelous contrivance, the
"Gibb bandage," for the treatment for
wounds in the spine and back. It is
an enormous tripod with a leather
harness suspended from the center and
with a large, flat collar that fits about
the neck and head and two braces that
fit under the arm pits. This thus ad
Justed permits lifting thfe wounded to
an erect position for an examination
or an operation can ba performed.
In the next room we visited five
Japanese nurses were busy tearing and
folding the tissues to be used on the
wounded the next morning. The Jap
anese nurses are pretty. There is
something so serious, bo substantial
and so wholesome about them. Their
hair is drawn up in back under a
white starch cap that reminds one of
the bonnets worn by the Russian
priests. Their uniform is a white
blouse, resembling a shirtwaist,-and a
full dress combined. They wear a
little red cross on the left side over
the heart.
X.Raya Aid la Treating Wounded.
In another room- an X-ray photo
graph was being taken of a wounded
man to locate the pieces of an ex
ploded bomb. There were three oth
er wounded awaiting their turn.
Beyond at the further end of the
building was the second operating
room. Here the wounded arrived from
the battlefield for the extraction of
missiles or the reduction of infected
fractures, especially those wounded by
shrapnel. The ball of the German rifle
Is small and pointed so that it cuts
the cloth of the uniform and being
hot and pointed is self-sterilized and
does not infect.
Appearance of Wounded Neat.
Women of the French Red Cross So
ciety act as auxiliary nurses. There
are 35 in this hospital. The wounded
soldiers wear white Kimonos with red
crosses on the left side. They appear
so clean and so in order. Their beds
are all brass, with white linen sheets
and white blankets. At the head of
each bed is a gilded horseshoe with the
words "Good Luck." All the rooms of
the second and third floors are oc
cupied by the wounded.
By their asphyxiating gases the
Germans have entered the phase of
satirlo barbarity worse than any at
tempted since the beginning of the war.
By these bombs they succeeded in
crossing the Yser River, April 23, and
taking the 'Village of Llaerne.
On April 24, two huge trains of as
phyxiated soldiers arrived. They were
in a terrible condition. Their arms
and legs were stiff, their eyes stared
wide-open. Their bodies have been
burned dull yellow and they are hope
lessly blind.
