THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, . OCTOBER 24, 1913. OREGON "FAMILY" IS FOB STATE Hospitality at Exposition Is . Made Possible by Hard Work and Co-operation. ALL CONSTANTLY BUSY Group Soon to Be Broken T-'p, Home Will Be AV recked and Happy Fire- side EndccL, but Blessed " Memory Will Kemain. " BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON EXPOSITION BUILDING. Ban .Francisco, Oct. 19. The Oregon "family" at the exposition has changed somewhat In personnel since the open ing day, February 20, but not In per sonality. From resident commissioner to the Janitor, the one idea has pre vailed, of hospitality and cheerfully re ceiving the public, of making them feel at home in Oregon and want a home in Oregon. At the head of the family is the resi dent commissioner, now Robert A. Booth, of Eugene. He is not head in name alone, but in fact. To him all matters of final appeal go for adjust ment. He is on the main floor of the building most of the day. meeting quests, greeting formal callers from other state and foreign buildings and solving problems which always arise in the best of programmes. He knows the exact state of the board's finances. He keeps In touch with the exposition's general plans and decides when and to what extent Oregon shall participate. In addition to all this, he is In constant demand for - exposition dinners, lunch eons, banquets and receptions and he must attend these affairs whether or not it is personally agreeable to him, for he is the representative of the state and goes in his official capacity. Diplomatic Ability Demanded. Also he must assist the hostess in deciding to what extent Oregon must entertain, properly to repay her obli gations, and just what guests at the exposition must be entertained and bow. It is a position calling for diplo macy, good Judgment and a keen knowledge of men. v Commissioner Booth was here to start the Oregon building on its successful career, he made the main speech at the opening day exercises, and he is here again In ths closing days to keep the sailing serene. The commissioner's wife is also in a position of responsi bility, as she becomes hostess, sharing honors with the official hostess, and dispenses hospitality with her husband. Airs. Booth Is ably furthering her hus band's efforts in this respect, as have the wives of the preceeding commis sioners. Other commissioners and their wives who have given of their time and talents to the state's service are O, M. Clark, president, and Mrs. Clark; Mr. and Mrs. John F. Logan, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Thompson, of Pendleton, and C. L. Hawley, of McCoy. Mr. Hawley is expected to arrive with Mrs. Hawley for the term succeeding Mr. Sooth. UosteH' Duties Arduous. Another position of responsibility, so far as' the general public is concerned,' is that of hostess. She, like the com missioner, must - attend exposition functions, must graciously meet dig nitaries from all over the world, and, what is; every bit as Important, must meet the general public as it surges day after day through the Oregon build ing. She is on duty all day and then must plan Oregon's entertaining. In conjunction with the commissioner, and especially see that the women who should be are entertained. Mrs. Charles A. Gray fills this important post with thoroughness, graciousness and unself ishness. Oregon has had two hostesses, the first being Mrs. Thomas G. Hailey, of Portland, who served the state graci ously during the first part of the ex position period. N. R. Moore, with an assistant, is the publicity head for Oregon. Mr. Moore was editor of the Gazette-Times, of Corvallis, but he has since sold his paper. He is thoroughly conversant with his state's resources and oppor tunities, is an excellent writer and a man who thinks first and writes aftar ward. Management In Good Hands. George M. Hyland, of Portland, Ii manager of the building. He has been with the exposition from the opening. His direct assistants are Benjamin C. Sheldon, of the Medford Commercial Club, who for several months past has been an able floor manager: A. E. Will iams, auditor, from Linnton, who is considered . one of the most valuable men in the entirA organization, and John Dennis, of Hillsboro, superintend ent of the building, who has faithfully buffeted all kinds of wind and weather for the good of his state. Ralph Staehll, of Portland, is moving picture operator and lecturer and also does newspaper work. Mrs. Jack Bus ter, formerly of Eugene, is custodian of the Oregon, exhibit in the Palace of j-.oucation. and Miss Florence Hatch performs a similar duty in the beautiful art room in the Oregon building. Miss Lillian A. Hanson Is stenographer and Jack Hyland Is the busy boy in the apple-juice booth. C. N. Ravlin is chief of horticulture for Oregon in general, but fighter for Hood River in particular, as are all beings who hail from that planet of big red apples, 1 find. However, he is perfectly fair-minded in his dealing with the rest of the state, and In Ore son's section of the Palace of Horti culture you will find every part of the state Impartially represented; it Is only in the sacred precincts of the "ramily" that his partiality finds expression. Oscar Freytag. of Oregon City, is chief of agriculture and as keen on grains and grasses as the other ehif is on big red apples Mrs. Freytag has ably assisted her husband. Counties Interests Represented. The county heads, William I Tay lor, of Salem: H. O. Frohbach, of Ash land: J. A. Lackey, of Eastern Oregon a big man for a big field J. A. Ward, of Coos and Curry counties Marsh field being his home P. J. Slnnott, of Klamath Falls, and E. M. Warren, of Lane County, are representative men of their communities. All have ranches and all have given their time and en ergies conscientiously. Dr. Dunsmore. of Independence, be longs in the picture, but the doctor lives down in the city and he Is not an early riser, so he failed to be in his proper place. The picture had to be taken in the early morning. A. L. Bostwick, of the I'niversity; Sam Michael, also of the University; Harry M. Johnston, Arnold Funk and R. C. Wright, of the Agricultural Col lege, are the present guides in the building also telephone operators, of fice boys. Information booth men, in fact they belong to General Utility's band and are pretty busy most of the time. College Seniors on Duty. The college seniors at present on duty in the domestic science depart ment, with Miss Christie Moore, in structor, from O. A. C, are Mrs. Haller, Dorothy Passmore. Lorene Parker, Ireno Brandis, Anne Russell, Marion UNITED Mateer, Alberta Rawlings, Maurene Carroll and Minnie Kalbus. The col lege seniors prepare luncheon for 80 every noon, SO of the general public fortunate enough to reach the dining- room door first, and breakfast and din ner for the portion of the "family" that resides in the building. i.. N. Kingsland is the building me chanic,, and a good one; Ed Boylan Is the always-efficient- janitor; Frank Vail is a moving-picture operator; Frank Keegan is assistant janitor; A. H. Hansen is ' night watchman and Lawrence Joel is porter; of this last group only Hansen and Joel are from Oregon. Hansen, is a rancher in Crook County, and will return to his ranch at the close of the exposition. He is a hard worker, ambitious and loyal. Joel was for many years porter in the Port land Hotel. " Mrs. Philip Slnnott and Mrs. J. A. Ward assist their husbands in their county work. Last of all, little Pru dence Jane Gray, three-year-old grand daughter of Oregon's hostess, a guest at present in the building, who styles herself hostess of the dolls' house. The "family"" has never been without some bright, interesting Oregon child since the Exposition opened. The days and ways of young John Logan are re called with joy and laughter; also Dor othy Logan. Then there was James Tuttle, the Clarks' grandson, and lately Bobbie ' Booth, a nephew of Commis sioner Booth, whose sweet nature shone out of a rarely beautful face; "Bobbie" has had a great deal of illness and his face bespeaks the beautiful pa tience and serenity that 'sometimes marks rare natures that have suffered. Every one loved Bobbie. . Soon now, the family will break up.

FREIGHT HELD IN WEST EMBARGO ON SHIPMENTS BV WAT OF" GALVESTOX DECLARED. Shortage of Bottoms to Handle Traffic Out of Gulf Port Causes Ac tion by Railroads. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 23. An em bargo against East-bound freight from the Pacific Coast for water shipment from Galveston, made effective Wednes day, will be maintained at least until the middle of next week, it was said today by officials of the Atchison, To neka & Santa Fe Railway. The em bargo was placed in co-operation with the Southern Pacific Shortage of bottoms in which to handle shipments out of Galveston was said bv Santa Fe officials to have caused the action. A few shipments on European con tracts and for special markets have been diverted to rail traffic across the continent, but the higher freight rates have caused much of the prospective freight to be held in the West. Steamship companies some time ago rerouted their vessels by way of the Magellan Straits, when the Panama Canal was closed. The Luckenbach Steamship Company continued to 6per ate vessels to Balboa and Colon, Pan ama. Freight has been transferred along the canal between the Atlantic and Pacific points on the Government railroad. Logging Camp Ts Reopened. CEXTRALIA. Wash.. Oct. 3. (Spe cial.)

Governor Saja Erg;loaa Blander by Opponents of Measure WHI Defeat Their Own Ends. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23. Closing; 'a vigorous campaign in behalf of the non partisan election bills. Governor John son declared in an address here tonight that if the referendum should prevail at the election next Tuesday agralnst propositions 1 and 2. the object of the opponents of nonpartisanship would be defeated. "Througrh an egregious and inexpli cable blunder said the Governor, "the advocates of the referendum have filed referendum petitions only, against the first two of the measures, and none at all against the registration law or the Presidential primary law, both of which measures have gone into full force and effect, while the direct primary bill and the form of ballot bill are held up. "The effect of this stupendous blun der is well pointed out by 10 of the leading lawyers of the state, who clearly have shown that if the refer endum should prevail, those who advo cate it will have defeated their own purposes, for they not -alone will have assured nonpartisanship in state af fairs, but, so far as the State of Cali fornia is concerned, in National affairs as well. "If propositions 1 and 2 on the bal lot are rejected, there can be no party primaries of any kind, no party con ventions of any kind and no party nom inations for United States Senator or Congressmen.' DEATH TRIANGLE DESOLATE fContinued From First Pag-e) clared they would stay till doomsday, and that Warsaw might consider itself safe as long as that. This, they added. is "our real line." Trenches Mill Stand for Years. Well, I was in those trenches of the abandoned Blonie line yesterday, and better ones I never saw. Of massive log construction and reinforced by great transverse timbers, they show no signs of falling in despite Autumn rains, and they wilL stand for several years. Determined men could certain ly have made a brilliant resistance there. But there was no brilliant re sistance in front of Warsaw. By bora bardment and by the threat of envel opment the Germans simply shouldered the Russians out. This beautiful Blonie line, which vas to have held till doomsday, held about two weeks. It is exactly half way between Sochaczew and the center of Warsaw, and behind it is still another line of admirably constructed, trenches which cut deep into the plain just in front of the western environs of the tewn. Those trenches were never stormed. The Germans found them empty when they came up to them. Between the triangle of death and Warsaw the devastation is terrible, for In that tract it was not a case of leisurely field sieges, but of a swift ad vance. which hurled back and knocked down everything that stood in its way. The tine town of Urodzisk, which lies between five and six miles straight south of the town of Blonie, where the Blonie line centered, was fearfully shattered, and dozens of tiny hamlets In that part of the plain are simply obliterated. Many and many a one 1 have passed that has only a single wall or a single chimney left to mark its site. The rest is just a crumble of brick. Ruined Bridges Rebuilt. Dire as is the ruin I encounter every where. I also behold heartening signs of rehabilitation. Ail over the Warsovian plain on the Vistula, on the IS'arew, on the Bug, on the Bzura, and on the Rawka bridges are down, but bridges are building. The work goes on days, nights, and Sundays, and sometimes it comprises the raising and readjusting of the tremendous spans of steel bridges, sometimes the construction of new timber bridges and sometimes both simultaneously, for at many points the carpenters have not quite finished the planking of a new timber bridge before the iron-workers have brought their Suffered for "Peruna Cured Me" Had Catarrh Of Head Nose Throat And Stomach Mr. Samuel Rossi.

It involves the transportation from Germany of enormous quantities of material, and what with the motley array of cars, the various uniforms, the workmen's camps, the sidetracks and the switch yards, it looks as if a circus had been strewn all the way from Lowlcz to Brest Litovsk and be yond. There are long strings of the little brown Belgian third-class pas senger coaches and hundreds of green freight cars with the Belgian lion and the words "Etat Belglque" painted on them and lettered with the names of Louvain, Ghent and Bruges. Most of them are loaded with steel and timber for bridge building and track laying, but in some of them you can see rows upon rows of the wicker baskets that hold 15-centimeter shells. To such usesvhas the rolling stock of the Bel gian state railways come. Vo Starving Peasants Seen. Over on the westerly side of the tri angle of death, at Lowlcz, where I spent my shuddering New Year s eve in a room without a pane of glass in it and was later quartered during some won derful days with the Czernelowskl fam ily, I see again the bombarded towers of the ancient abbey church, but where the ley wind used to sweep in from the bleak plain I catch now the bright red of heavily hung apple trees. That did not indicate the presence of a starving peasantry to me. but then I have only seen the region and not heard passion ate harangues' about it in New York and Chicago. The David Warfield Jews are still peering furtively from their doorways just as they did last Winter, and the bare-kneed women are still trotting about in their skirts of red and orange and purple and yellow just as they also did last Winter bare knees and all. Approaching the town from the north west one sees endless sentries all along the railway line, and leaving it on the southeast one passes numerous graves of soldier dead. Beyond the borders of- the triangle of death the landscape is a dreary monotone of roofless churches, shat tered villas, dismantled and destroyed factories, bridges blown apart and' trees uprooted, within its border lies dead man's land Just miles of crum bling trenches and rusty barbwire en tanglements and lonely graves and tracts of pine wood blasted by fire. AUTO INJURES COUPLE OREGON CITY BROTHER AND . SIS TER IllRT SERIOUSLY. Bl- Car Strikes Horse and Vehicle, Throwing Occupants 10 Feet Police Notify Portland Authorities. OREGON CITT. Or., Oct. 23. (Spe cial.) Miss Marie Haryey, employed as a bookkeeper for the Williams Brothers' Transfer Company, of this city, and her brother, A. fa.

Miss Harvsy had two ribs and her collarbone broken. The young man's back is seriously injured, so much so that he cannot stand. The police have the number of the automobile and as, the parties drove through the city on to Portland, the Sheriff has telephoned to Sheriff Hurl bur t and Chief of Police Clark, of Portland, to be on the watch for the party. The owner of the car ts said to be a prominent resident of the val ley. Dr. H. S. Mount, of this city, is at tending the injured people. The Harveys are the daughter and son of B. L.
