The construction committee of ' the
general committee to purchase a monu
ment to the soldiers of the Second Ore
gon, who died during, the war In the
Philippines, met Friday, afternoon at 4
o'clock and accepted the bid of H. O.
Wright of Portland for the granite
shaft, to cost $8,200, and of Douglas
Tllden for the bronxe figure, for f 5,000.
Concerning the action of the commit
tee. Col. James Jackson, chairman, said:
"The committee on construction for
the Second Oregon monument to ba
placed In the Plaza block in front of

ent, and, in accordance with instruc
tions from the general committee, let

placing of the monument The contract
for the granite work was unanimously

shaft is to be in one piece from top of
cap to base, to be of Barre granite.
without flaw or defect and subject to
Inspection and rejection by the commit
tee. The committee preferred Oregon
granite, but Oregon quarries are all
new and none of them could furnish a
die of such length without going be
yond the means at disposal of the com
mittee. The contract for the bronse
figure will be let to Mr. Douglas Tllden
of Oakland, Cat, to whom waa awarded
the f 1.000 offered for the best design.
Mr. Tllden is a sculptor of note and
has done some of the best work In this
line in California."
The other members of the committee
are Major McDonell and Colonel C. U.

I claims that he can furnish Oregon gran
ite of .the kind, demanded , and -In one
piece, according to the terms of the
specifications. He' also -alleges that the
firm of Bell & . Mauch, ,of,j which firm
Mr. Bell -Is in charge of all statuary
work at the St. Louis - exposition, of
fered to furnish the: bronse figure ac
cording to .design for $2,000. , He has in
his . possession letters ' and , telegrams
from Mr. Bell to thati effect.
He believes that, the-committee could
secure fully as good results from the
St. Louis sculptors as from .the 'Califor
nia man. with $3,000 saving-in' the sum
expended.'
Colonel Gantenbeln , of the construc
tion .committee said today:
"The matter had draraed ' alona for
three, years, and it was. finally -thought
that a - smaller committee, would more
quickly dispose of it, hence at a meet
ing of the general committee a commit
tee on construction was- appointed,
which committee.'Was empowered to pro
ceed with the .'work and let the con
tracts. . This ' we ; have done, and wish
only to secure the .best monument pos
sible from the money at our disposal.
Both Major McDonell and myself were
members of the Second Oregon, and nat
urally want the best results. We in
clined to favor Oregon granite, but
when the bids were opened as adver
tised for,- there were seven In all, one
only from an Oregon quarry, but so
high as to make the total ;run $1,000
over the sum at our cobunand."

"Ever hear how John R. McLean took
down the fresh young man?" Inquired
W. G. Stilton of Dayton, O., ashateaa
In the union depot this morning between
trains. "Well. John R. McLean was
young man with never an Idea of try
lng for the United States senatorship.
He was editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer
even then. He used to have an office In
the front room on the second story,
where he kept a cheerful grate fire burn
ing. and it was a mighty comfortable
place in winter. The reporters room
opened right off his office, and his door
was often open so that the men got
used to seeing him there.
One day the city editor hired a new re
porter, a pleasant young fellow but with
a aomewhat exaggerated lda -of - bin
position. After he had been there about
a week and had heard the men speak of
"the Old Man" and "Mac" when McLean
wasn't around, he concluded he was
about due for his visit of courtesy to
the editor. So one day he opened the
door of the sanctum and sailed In blithe
as a May morning. McLean was stand
ing with his back to the Are. He didn't
show his surprise at the intrusion.
The new reporter sprawled over the
managerial table in a comfortable at'
titude and said:
"Say, Mac, there's something I want
to ask you about
"Don't call me 'Mac,," said John R.
in his most suave voice. " 'Mao' Is too
formal. Call me Johnny."

AN EXPORT BASIS
NOT YET REACHED
Of the charter market at San Fran
cisco the Commercial News says; "The
market for grain freights has been
fairly active during the week. Vessels
have obtained 15s d for barley, with
lis Id for wheat stiffening, and lla Id
for general cargo. The tone Is rather
weaker, as owners of British vessels
seem more disposed to accept prevail
ing rates; several have taken charters
In the last few days. The export move
ment of wheat has not yet commenced;
while prices In our own market have de
clined, those In England nave also gone
lower, so we are pretty nearly aa far
away as ever from the export basis.
The season In the North is just com
mencing; one vessel has finished loading
and two or three more are under way;
rates are about 18s 91 to U.' K., and 10s
to 21s Id to South Africa. ' The market
for lumber freights Is quieter and rates
cover a wide range."
