Relating to Oregon Students
Plan to Return Home to
Pass Vacations.
BY L. R. GIESI.ER.
NEW YORK CITY, June 27. (Spe
cial.) "See America First" Is the slo
gan heard on all sides in the East, and,
to the majority oi Easterners, "See
America First" means "See the Pacific
first." Already the percentage of
annual Summer tourists who are di
recting their course across their own
continent is large. Next month, when
travel promises to be heaviest, will
witness a marked increase in this num
ber. There will be only a few trip
abroad this Summer.
Now endless questions are heaped
upon one who hails from the West.
The hardened traveler. who knows
Baedeker by rote, has to 1e informed
that Portland is not across the Co
lumbia from Astoria. But no West
erner takes offense at such ignorance.
He welcomes the desire for enlighten
ment and his heart is gladdened by the
number of copies of The Oregonian's
Rose Festival edition that are to be
found even in the eld homes of New
England. Incidentally, there Is no
topic of conversation upon which he
can venture with as much safety as
that which concerns his own state.
It is a subject which the pro-German
can discuss over his coffee with the
Bryan disciple.
That tensity of feeling over the
European situation cannot dampen the
enthusiasm In America for activities,
and the majority of the Western stu
dents have remained over for the New
London and Poughkeepsie races.
Mr. and Mrs. Orville Treat, of New
York, who motored through Oregon
and California last Summer, were
among the many who took their yachts
to New London for the week-end. Ore
gonians and Callfornlans always are
welcome visitors with the Treats.
'
At New London. Conn., before one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
crowds ever gathered along the banks
of the picturesque Thames, the Eli
crews won back -Yale's lost pestige.
A list of Oregonians who witnessed this
forty-ninth Yale - Harvard regatta
would be lengthy. Yale, Harvard. Am
herst. Williams and many other stu
dent bodies attended almost en masse.
It is of interest to know that David
Loring, Jr., of Portland, is "Ivis" edi
tor of the Harvard Lampoon. His de
partment, in charge of the illustrations,
is one of the most important, if not the
most important, on the staff. It is the
same position held several years ago
by John Read, also of Portland, but
now correspondent for the Metropoli
tan, and with the Russian army at the
front. - -
Mr.' Loring has remained over for
theiraes. but soon will return to bis
home. This Summer he will have as
guests several Eastern friends, who
are planning a tour along the Lincoln
Highway.
Professor and Mrs. John Bovard, who
have -been at Harvard during the past
year, will remain in. the East until
September, when they will return to
the University of Oregon. Professor
Bovard had obtained a year's leave
of absence to study abroad, but has
been forced to alter his plans because
of conditions in Europe.
. . .
Alexander Martin, a former Univer
sity of Oregon boy, who has been tak
ing a special course at Boston "Tech,"
has left for his home in Klamath
Falls.
.
Ralph Cake, of Portland, will return
to Oregon for the Summer after com
pleting his second year at Harvard
law school.
.
Another Portland young man who
has been attending Harvard is Ernest
Swigert, sub-quarterback on Harvard's
team last Fall. Mr. Swigert will go
West for the Summer, but will resume
his college work in September.
Among the Oregon students at Am
herst are Henry Ladd. Clarence Car
rey and Richard Master, all of Port
land and all of whom will return to
their homes for the Summer. Mr.
Master is the author of a clever war
, poem entitled "Why?" which appeared
recently in the Springfield Republican.
Lambert Wood and Archie Klngsley
have been stopping together at Wil
liams. They probably will pass the
Summer vacation at their homes in
Portland.
WATER SHORTAGE FEARED
Yakima and Kittitas Valley Farmers
Warned to Be Economical.
ELLENSBUBG. Wash., July 3. (Spe
cial.) With the thermometer regis
tered at s and with entire Central
Washington in the grip of the" warmest
weather since 1892, warnings were pub
lished here today that waterusers
throughout Yakima and Kittitas val
leys be economical or that serious
shortage of water for future use will
cripple the farmers to an extent of
great loss. Charles E. Hewitt, water
commissioner for Yakima and Kittitas
counties, said that 2U.00O acre feet of
water is being released daily to keep
the canals for irrigation purposes full,
but that users must be careful.
"This is cutting into the storage at a
fast rate." said Mr. Hewitt. "Farmer
have predicted the heaviest hay and
grain crops that have ever been known
in this section, but there is much fear
now that the shortage of water will
cause great loss."
STRIKE ENDED WITH STAVE
Woman Wields It Against Husband
and Other Disturbers.
MARTINS FERRY. O.. June 28 The
use of a barrel stave in the hands of
Mrs. Frank Marelli. coupled with a
spirit of determination, started the
wheels in the Wheeling Corrugating,
Whitaker-Glessner & Sulphis Company,
Inc.. after conferences and efforts at
arbitration had failed.
Mrs. Marelli visited the headquarters
established by about 2000 striking la
borers. Her husband was there. In
censed because he persisted in striking,
Mrs. Marelli used the barrel stave, first
on him. then among the striking men,
who fled In disorder.
Union men. who were prevented from
working by the- strikers, entered the
plants and got them in operation.

Wealthy Woman Will Do Her Own
Housework, Having Trained Her
self Believing She Was Not
Possessor of Riches.
CHICAGO. June 28. (Special.) An
nouncement of the engagement of
pretty Catherine Barker, who Inherited
the 130,000.000 estate of her father, the
lat John H. Barker, is a dlssapoint
ment to unnumbered fortune-hunters
in every part of the world, who deluged
the wealthy mins with proposals of
marriage when it was learned that she
was to be possessor of such a colossal
fortune. Special secretaries were em
ployed to handle the thousands of let
ters. Miss Barker soon will be the
bride of Howard H. Spalding, a Chicago
business man.
Miss Barker had acquired a practical
education, under the impression that
she merely was in comfortable circum
stances. Having gone through college,
she entered a' finishing school and spe
cialized in home economics, becoming
an expert domestic scientist.
It was not until the announcement of
her fortune by her guardian. James B.
Forgan. president of the First National
Bank of Chicago, that she attracted the
attention of the army of wooers from
various nations.
Both Miss Barker and her fiance are
natives of Chicago.
Miss Barker has announced that she
PORTLAND IS CROWDED
WITH FAIR VISITORS
Striking Feature of Travel Now Is That Two-Thirds of Tourists Are
Women, Says Addison Bennett, After Tour of Portland's Hostelries.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
TO Bay that the city was well filled
with travelers yesterday would be
something less than the truth; to say
that the hotels were crowded would be
going a trifle too strong, for we have a
couple of dozen good hotels where vis
itors can find good accommodations.
Taking, however, the larger ones, the
Portland. Imperial. Multnomah. Ore
gon, Benson. Perkins, Cornelius, Sew
ard and Nortonia, it would take a rush
of people that would swamp the rail
ways and steamers to get them here
to -crowd those nine hostelries, all of
which may well be classed as first
class. With these all filled accommo
dations could be found for a coiiple
of thousand other guests at the small
er hotels on both sides of the Willam
ette. The majority, in fact nearly all, of
the travelers now passing through
Portland are either on their way to or
from the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
But. going or coming, their stay here
is generally short, from 12 to 21 hours.
These travelers come from all sections
of the United States and the Canadian
possessions, but the majority of them
hail from the Middle West. There are
some from the Eastern state, of
course, but Kentucky. Missouri, Indi
ana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan furnish
more than the East and South com
bined. Trie most striking feature of the
travel is the fact that fully two-thirds
of the tourists are women. There are
usually two or more women traveling
together, as In that way the hotel bills
can be kept down, and often there are
several women In a party without a
man escort. In speaking to a small
party of schoolteachers from Ohio
yesterday I asked them several Ques
tions pertinent to their trip. The
have been away from home for nearl
three weeks now, and have looked
after their Journeying with no assist
ance save from the hotel people with
whom they have stopped.
Women Traveler Well Pleased.
The women assert, and I think at'
most all of the others will Join with
them In saying, that they have suf
fered not the slightest inconvenience
in any way whatever.
"The hotel clerks of the West are
the most gentlemanly people with
whom we ever came in contact." they
said. "At all places where we have
stopped they have acted like old and
steadfast friends, having shown us
every attention and courtesy and at the
same time have shielded us from every
stare and every rudeness. And we feel
like saying that the Portland clerks
stand practically at the head of their
class."
The largest party that has thus far
reached here, and one that will shade
the percentage against the Middle
West, arrived at 7:20 over the Pennsyl
vania and its connecting lines. This
Is the Brooklyn rai'y Eagle party,
which numbers 126 people. They left
over the Southern Pacific at 11 o'clock
last night. A party of north tourists,
numbering 22, came in Friday from San
Francisco on the steamship Great
Northern. They put up at the Multno

will turn her training In home aco

that she will take care of her home,
despite her fortune of $30,000,000. This
no doubt la due to her democratic
training:, she having learned. she says,
that housekeeping is a profession as
well as pleasurable.
The engagement to Mr. Spalding re
cently was announced by her guardian.

mah. A large number from the same
steamer put up at the Perkins.
Another party of about 20. traveling
under the auspices of the Eastern In
diana Panama-Pacific excursion and
scenic aggregation, managed by Silas
S. Stratton and Noble T. Praigg, ar
rived Friday at the Imperial and left
yesterday morning on the Great North
ern, which sailed from Flavel at
:30 o'clock. This pi-rty came from
Portland. Ind.. but the Individuals
were gathered from the neighboring
towns of Indiana and Ohio. Mr. Praigg
said this was their initial trip, but the
party was thus far so well pleased
that they would surely be seen here
soon again with larger numbers.
Traveler Becomes "Presa Clabber."
One important traveler yesterday
put up at the Press Club, where mine
host Myers served him a fine dinner
and then received him into full mem
bership as a Press Clubber. That was
.-ick sinnoit. or The Dalles. iuhmIit..i
spoken of as "Hon. N. J. Sinnott. mem
ber or congress." He was on his way
to Klamath, where he will, on Monday
next, take a twist at the eagle bird's
tall feathers and pluck a few stray
stars from the blue empyrean or
words to that effect.
Yesterday was a great day for the
Portland sightseeing vehicles. Each one
mado three trips with practically a
full load each trip and there are a
couple of dozen of them, more or less.
But they gave their passengers the
worth of their money and then some.
I talked with several of them as
they returned, and each one spoke In
the highest praise of tne sights thy
had seen. One gentleman, who declined
to let me use his name, said It was the
finest ride he had ever taken In the
United States. Both he and his wife
afterwards admitted that they had seen
practically all of the sights of the
country and they thought a ride
through Portlands residential streets
was unequaled for a view of homes
and grounds on this continent

Protests from the negroes are
the result of report that the photo
play "The Birth of a Nation." known
alo as "The Clansman." Is to be shown
in Portland soon. Various people who
have seen the production, it Is said,
praise it and managers of several local
motion picture hounes speak, of it as
a marvelous production.
A protest in the name of the Port
land branch of the National Association
for Advancement of Colored People has
been made, and the secretary. Mrs. Kd
ward 1. Cannady. says: "I wish -to
make an appeal to the churches and so

of the vicious photoplay. Th Birth of

"It seeks by false pictures of hor

should protest against these pictures
being shown here because they Incite
race rancor and prejudice. They offer
falsa and erroneous excuses for dis
crimination and segregation, and dis
play the worst side of the colared peo
ple. They poison the minds of the
young, those with whom our young
must work out their destinies.
"As cltisens of Portland we must
protest against this play because tbe
peace and harmony that has existed be

"The film haa been denounced by
prominent educators and eminent his

scenes untrue to history, misleading
and revolting, especially designed to
convict the l'nlon soldier and the
colored man of unspeakable crimes.
"We should protest against this
play -because It has as Its background
the period of the Reconstruction and
by false representations attempts to
justify the cruelty resorted to by the
Ku Klux Klan. It seeks by false pic
