PORTLAND MAY GET
FIRST TOURNAMENT
Boys' and Juniors' Tennis Con
tests to Be Staged Some
Time This Month.
LOCAL PLAYERS ARE FAST
Tacoma, Seattle and Hiewiston Will
Send Clever Youngsters Much
Interest Is Being Shown in
Forthcoming: Events.
Portland probably will be the city
elected to hold the first annual boys'
and Juniors' tennis tournaments to be
played by the leading: cities of the Pa
cific Northwest. Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land, Everett, Olympia. Salem, Eugene
and Corvallls are some of the towns
likely to send their best players.
Portland has several youngsters who
can put up a game of tennis that does
credit to the veterans. Paul Steffen
recently won the title of Junior single
champion of the Willamette Valley and
Phil Neer won the boys' championship.
XV. A. Gobs Praises Players.
Walter A. Goss, chairman for the
Pacific Northwest district. heard by
long- distance telephone from Donald
McFadden yesterday morning-, saying
that the Tacoma Club had completed
its schedule, and that it was ready to
send its winners to Portland for the
final play-off.
Mr. McFadden, who represents the
Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club, said that
Tacoma felt that, inasmuch as Portland
is the city in which is located the
headquarters of the newly created Pa
cific Northwest district, the first junior
tournament should be played in Port
land. Lewiston already has voted in favor
of Portland and Mr. Goss has every
reason to think that Portland will be
agreeable to Seattle.
He expects to hear from Seattle not
lacer than Monday and about the only
thing remaining to do Is to fix the
date. It will be either July 13 and 14
or some time during the following
week. -
"I have not yet received the name
of the Tacoma winner," said Mr. Goss.
"but as was expected, Seattle will be
represented by Marshall Allen, Lewis
ton by William White, Jr.. and Portland
by Paul Steffln."
Spokane has dropped out of the
Junior events, but Mr. Goss Is in hopes
that they will get an entry in at the
last minute.
Portland's Chances Are Good.
Mr. Goss further said that. In his
opinion, nothing could b: of more inter
est in out-of-door sports this year than
the gathering together of these boys
for a final play-off.
"Remember that these boys are going
to set the pace here in the Northwest
for all that is good on our tennis
courts," he eaid. "I think that we
should give thece boys a great turn
out and I also want to say that we can
expect to see a brand of tennis that
will rank well up anywhere in the
United States. I have been trying to
help Paul Steffln during the last few
days and I want to say that Portland's
reputation is in very safe hands, for I
think that Paul Steffin can give a good
account of himself either to Marshall
Allen or anyone else in the junior clas3.
Phil Neer will represent Portland in the
boys' singles, and should be able to
give a good account of himself."
Irvinsrton won from the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club yesterday by
five matches to one. Olin Lewis fur
nished the surprise of the play by de
feating Ferd Smith in three sets. Ferd
was not going well and seemed to have
very little of his usual fight and ag
gressiveness. He was wild and missed
many easy shots, which ordinarily he
would have won. On the other hand,
Olin Lewis was going finely. His chief
epset was his ability to get the net on
his own service and once there he made
many clean passes or safe kills.
A. R. Munger had a close call in his
match with James F. Ewing. This
match also went three sets and on more
than one occasion Ewlng needed but
one point to take the game and match.
The scores of the matches were as
follows: A. R. Munger beat James F.
Ewing 4-6, 7-5. 6-1. Olin Lewis beat
Ferd Smith 4-6. 6-3. 6-3. Walter A.
Goss beat A. S. Frohman 6-2, 6-2. J.
H. Mackie beat Percy W. Lewis 6-4, 6-4.
Munger and P. W. Lewis beat Smith
and Mackie 6-4, 8-6. Goss and Owlin
beat Ewing and Snow 6-4, 6-4.
JUDGE STEVENSON LAUDED
Fred L. Olson J'ays Tribute to Re
tiring Magistrate.
Fred L. Olson In the Municipal Court
yesterday paid a sincere and unex
pected tribute to Judge Stevenson,
whose term closes with the appoint
ment of George Rossman to the Judge
ship by the new City Council.
"When John Stevenson leaves this
bench," said Attorney Olson, "the Police
Court loses an honest and an upright
Judge. I have quietly attended the
court day after day and listened to
the proceedings and decisions. Judge
Stevenson, you deserve the sincere ap
preciation of the citizens of Portland."
Finishing his little address, Mr. Olson
left the courtroom.
The tribute is considered the more
sincere since Mr. Olson, now a practic
ing attorney, always felt that he should
have occupied the bench during the
term just completed by Judge Steven
son as he received the Republican
nomination, but at the ensuing elec
tion the commission form of govern
ment, making the J) geship an ap
pointive office, went into effect. Mr.
SStevenson was subsequently appointed
to the bench by the new council, served
two years and was succeeded by Arthur
Langguth who served a year. Mr.
Stevenson again resumed the bench
when Judge Langguth . retired to
private practice a year ago.

OREGON REGIMENT EACH DAY
GAINS SOLDIERLY QUALITIES
War Department Officials Scan Closeljr Efficiency Reports From Field to
Determine When Troops Are Conditioned for Foreign Service.
BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
WITH THE THlRtJ REGIMENT,
OREGON INFANTRY, June 30.
(Special.) This is the one
day in the month that the bawled,
"Company, front an' center, fa' in," of
the top sergeant does not rasp the
sangfroid of the soldier man and
cause him to use language of a large
denomination. And by the same token,
on occasions like today, it is also the
one day in the month when the private
does not believe that the top sergeant,
from the shoulder blades up is unim
proved property. Yet this Job of be
ing a sergeant or corporal is even a
bigger job than that of being a Cap
tain or a Lieutenant, in that they are
the receiver-generals for all the cuss
ing, kicks and complaints of not only
the privates, but of the N. C, the Cap
tains and the Lieutenants.
Colonel C. E. Dentler, commander of
the First District of the Sixteenth Di
vision, in one of his talks to the men,
called attention to the big job of being
a sergeant, and he spoke of the duties
of a corporal with special emphasis.
On him falls the duty of enforcing
squad discipline, the proper care of
quarters and the soldiery appearance
of his squad. If he is slack, the squad
is likewise, then the corporal is in for
a call from the sergeant, who in turn
comes in for a thorough riding by those
in authority above.
Oregon Men TVow Pit.
While the Third Regiment, Oregon
Infantry, may not be the best converted
National Guard regiment in the service,
I will take a chance of being proved a
liar and say at the end of the sixth
week of intensive training there is no
better officered, drilled" and physically
fit regiment drawing salary from Uncle
Sam. This does not mean the Third
Oregon has anywhere near reached a
stage of perfection, but It does mean
that from now on. it is strictly up to
the men and officers to get down to
brass tacks and soldier, soldier, soldier
and soldier harder every day.
It goes without saying that the War
Department is not asleep on the job.
That swivel-chair gentry back in
Washington are no longer taking a
casual glance at efficiency reports on
regiments and officers. These reports
are getting the close-up once-over. I
wonaer now many of the officers fully
realize (I know that some of the pri
vates do not) that it Is strictly up to
them how soon or late their regiment
gets Into the battlefields of Europe.
One thing seems sure any regiment
that is selected to go abroad will not
be the half-baked lot that was sent
into Cuba or the Philippines.
When the test does finally come there
is bound to be the weeding: out of those
officers who have failed to come up to
the standard demanded by the War
Department. It would be beyond all
human expectations and realizations to
expect any one of the National Guard

organizations that answered the call
of the President to pass through the
present test and come through to the
end with the same personnel of offi
cers as was on the muster roll during
peace times.
All Men Pot to Test.
This game of getting ready for the
"big thing" is surely putting all to the
test, both privates, non-commissioned
and corn-missioned officers. As the
Captain and his Lieutenants and non
commissioned officers are, so are the
men. Never was there a place like the
Army fox this reflection stuff. As the
Captain is, so are the men. If a Cap
tain Is on his job and without spoken
words he shows his men that he knows
his business, the men under him will
make it their duty to try and know
as much about the fighting game as
the "old man."
Every day sees an Improvement in
the soldiery conduct and bearing of the
Third Oregon. Every day also sees the
nearing and complete demise of the old
National Guard idea. And yet there is
plenty of room for each member, offi
cers and men, of becoming more sol
diery. All this soldier knowledge is
being ground in, and if old Colonel
Groundmeat, of unblessed memory,
should see the Third today, even if he
could not "abide" certain cooked food,
would admit the Third was getting up
to "snuff." That all are beginning
to realize fully the importance of a
thorough understanding of all the big
and little tricks of the soldier game
is becoming more apparent dally, for
there Is more time devoted to the study
of Moss' Manual, considered one of the
best books of military Instructions
ever published.
This is officers' pay day. It does not
need the presence of the Army pay
master for this purpose. The checks
are received by the officers through
the mail.

RURftL CREDITS NOT
IN GREAT DEMAND
Only Three Counties Make Use
of Full Amount Allotted
to Them.
MOST OF QUOTA ON HAND
Nearly $200,000 Derived From
Sale of Bonds and State Is Re
quired to Take Care of
i Interest Accruing.
SALEM, Or., June 80. (Special.)
Reports which have been received here
of a heavy demand for rural credits
bonds, upon which is based the asser
tion that such bonds should be given
the preference over highway bonds,
seem to be belled by the status of the
rural credits money now on hand.
On June 8 the State Land Board was
able to obtain about $200,000 from the
sale of rural credits bonds through the
co-operation of state banks, after the
bonds had failed to receive a single
bid at par from bond buyers, the banks
themselves Intimating they were taking
the bonds as a patriotic duty.
Earn County Gets 6000.
The State Land Board divided these
funds among the respective counties.
so that each county was allowed a fund
of 16000 for lending purposes. Since
that time but three counties, Harney.
Yamhill and Wheeler, have lent out
their respective allotments of 16000.
All the other counties in the state have
money left to their credit for the pur
pose of making loans under the rural
credits fund. Deschutes County, from
which one of the complaints came that
farmers need money for rural credits
loans and that such bonds should be
sold ahead of highway bonds, has had
loans approved only to the extent of
fsoo out of Its $6000 allotment.
The various County Attorneys for
the Land Board have 60 days In which
to make loans from these allotments,
this period to expire August 8. The
board probably will be guided by the
experience of these 60 doys in Its at
tempts to float future rural credits
loans.
School Fund Loans Curbed.
It Is pointed out that with the de
mands for such money remaining on a
par with present demands the sale of
any material sum of bonds at any one
time would be a rather expensive thing
ror tne state. The bonds to cover the
$200,000 allotted to the counties June
8 are dated as of June 1 and conse
quently will draw interest from that
time.
It is up to the state to take care of
the interest that Is accruing on these
bonds. Had $500,000 or $1,000,000 worth
of bonds been issued and had the de
mands been no greater than they are
at present, the accruing Interest would
have eaten quite a chunk out of the
fund before the money could be dis
tributed among the counties. As farm
ers pay back only 5 per cent on these
4 per cent loans, when the bonds are
sold at par, the board has not much
leeway left in which to care for Inter
est that accrues on money which lies
idle after bonds are sold.
The board also cut down the"amount
of money to be lent to any one indi
vidual from the school fund to $2000
and considerable school fund money is
left on hand. That fund Is also being
steadily replenished from loans that
are being repaid and consequently It
appears that the board has a sufficient
sum of money on hand to meet all the
demands of the farmers without at
tempting any sale of bonds for some
little time in the future.
TOURISTS ARE NOTTAXED
FREE ENTRANCE BY AMERICANS
INTO CANADA ASSt'RED.
Erroneous Impression About Passage
Across Boundary Corrected by
Tourist Association.
The Pacific Northwest Tourist As
sociation, in its campaign to promote
travel In Oregon, Washington and Brit
ish Columbia, has encountered an er
roneous Impression about passage Into
Canada, to correct which it has been
obliged to issue an emphatic statement.
There has arisen the impression that
a head tax or passport system has been
applied that makes a barrier to free
entrance into Canada. The Federal
Government has Imposed a head tax
upon aliens formerly .entering the
United States, and the idea has gone
out that a similar regulation has been
lnforced on persons entering Canada.
In its statement correcting the latter
misapprehension, the Northwest Tour
ist Association says in part;
"There is scarcely any difference in
the regulations in force now and those
that, existed before the war. The as
sociation is doing everything in its
power to make it easy for Canadians to
enter the United States so that this
country will have the benefit of Cana
dian travel.
"The association wants to make
known beyond a doubt that any Ameri
can citizen can enter Canada just as
freely as he can pass between one state
and another. Not only is that thecase.
but the Canadian people welcome the
citizens of the United States and are
glad to have them among them."

Ezra Gager Andrews to Be Tried on
Statutory Charge.
Ezra Gager Andrews, under indict
ment for a statutory offense, will be
tried in the Circuit Court this week
according to an announcement made
yesterday at the District Attorney's

land under the name of Ezra Gager, is

DEAN HAGGETT DEAD
Prominent Seattle Educator
Succumbs to Grippe.
POPULARITY IS NOTED
Among Leading Members of Univer
sity of Washington Faculty, In
structor Did Much to Raise
Institution's Standard.
SEATTLE. Wash., Juno 30. (Spe
cial.) Arthur Sewall Haggett, dean of
the College of Liberal Arts at the Uni
versity of Washington, died this after
noon at 3 o'clock at the Seattle Gen
eral Hospital after an illness of five
weeks. His death was due to a viru
lent attack of grippe which had its in
ception in a slight cold he took while
working at his Summer home at Eagle
Harbor.
Dr. Haggett was one of the best
known faculty men at the University
of Washington. As ranking dean of
the university, he presided at faculty
meetings and student assemblies dur
ing the absence of the president from
the campus. As dean of the College of
Liberal Arts, he came Into contact with
hundreds of students each year and
knew and kept In touch with their
records. Entering freshmen remem
bered him because he would recall their
names, after seeing them once or twice,
Dean Aeompllshed la Greek,
Dr. Haggett was an accomplished
student of Greek. He took high honors
at Bowdoin. his alma mater, where he
received his A. B. degree in 1893 and
his master's degree In 1894. His high
scholastic work made him eligible to
Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary tratern-
ity of which he was a member.
Dr. Haggett always interested him
self in the building up of the scholas
tic standing at the University of Wash
ngton and especially during the last
year he was interested in inaugurating
a junior and senior college plan, whicb.
makes a sharp division between tne
first two and the last two years' work.
He passed a great deal of his time in
perfecting this plan, wnich will be oi
