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.

Work Done by ' American.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. (Special.) T.

husband of Bessie Abbott, the opera
singer, died today at his residence here
as- the result: of a Blood clot on the
bain.
In the later years of the life of his
father, William Wetmore Story, noted

his father's work and occupied the fa
mous Story studio in Barberini Place,

Mr. Story was an intimate friend of
James McNeil Whistler, and there are
many references to him In Mr. Whist
ler's book. "The Gentle Art of Making

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.

Authorities Accused of Bad
Faith With Americans.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Oct 23. Nine
teen residents of the border country,
accompanied by Adjutant-General
Hutchings. of Texas, will depart Mon
day for Austin, where they will lay the
border situation before Governor Fer-
guson. The committee, appointed by
a mass meeting here today, then will
go to Fort Sam Houston at San An
tonio, to see Major-General Funston,
after which it expects to go to Wash
ington in a body to appeal for relief
from continued outrages by Mexican
bandits. -
Besides empowering the committee
to present the facts to the authorities,
the meeting also empowered it to take
whatever further steps it .deemed nec
essary to bring a return of normal con
ditions. The resolutions adopted set
forth that conditions are now such in
this section of Texas that residents
of the counties affected are panic-
tricken and in many instances have
forsaken their homes and property and
fled to other sections of the country.
The resolutions set forth further that
it is an. indisputable fact that the
bandits and raiders are receiving com
fort and assistance from and being re
cruited upon the Mexican side of the
river, and that local authorities on the
Mexican side, if not assisting the
bandits, at least are maKlng no bona
fide effort to co-operate with the
American authorities in apprehending
them."

REFERENDUM IN MUDDLE
CALIFORNIA CAMPAIGN FOR NOK-
PARTISANSHIP ENDS..
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.'

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

down everything that stood in its way.
The tine town of Urodzisk, which lies

Blonie line centered, was fearfully

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

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

little brown Belgian third-class pas

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

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.
