auto parade was an ever changing
panorama of beauty. The roses, the
i music, the beautiful designs and all
the other effects made a Bcene well
, worth the Interest of the vast throngs
who looked on.
Equally. effective were the page
ants, beginning' with that headed by
:Vthe Hunt club and ending' with the
exercises on the east side. ,-The re-
' -ward ' for t those who participated
were the many plaudits expressed
and unexpressed, and the consclous
fcess that they contributed Infinitely
to, the pleasure of the hundreds of
- thousands who thronged the streets
to watch the ceremonials.
1 In contemplation of this wilder
ness of people, pageantry and roses,
; must come home to even the unen
thuslastlc observer that Portland is
t a delightful City to live in. Here, we
can point to the passing festival as
Levldeuce that we are a city that is
p something: more than the mere
commercialized. We can offer It as
4 proof that we are a city that thinks
....of the entertainment and welfare of
man, as well as of the material
things of life. We can tell It to our
guests from far and npar, that Port
land with its snow peafcs In the dls
""tance its meadows of green in the
hinterland and the rose-covered
. , homes that are Its setting, Is a city
where life Is real and existence, hap

THE CADETS

College cadets reflected great
credit upon themselves, their
institution and the state yes
terday. As they swung along the
line of march, their fine appearance,
their military bearing and the' pre
cision of their movement made
them a conspicuous feature of the
fternoon pageant. Twelve compan
ies strong, and headed by their own
military band, they presented a spec-
acle of American chivalry that was
Inspiring to all who saw.
The climax of their, performance
was - on Multnomah field where, In
a drill of an hour and a half, they
delighted a vast throng of people.
They went through the evolutions
with precision and grace, moving in
many instances without orders,
to the music of the band, and were
constantly rewarded with enthusias
tic applause. ; !
As a closing feature of the drill,
the whole regiment swung into a
march out of which Ihey gradually
formed" themselves Into the letters
"O. A. C.", the Initials of their col
lege. As they marched they dropped
orange confetti with the effect that.
when the drill was finished the
huge Initials, "O. A. C". were left

Rentals so received may be appor
tioned between the states and the
general government and the balance
is to be turned Into the treasury as

The sovereign rights end the con
stitutional rights of the nation over

general absolute authority.
Many questions of claims between
the general government and Its of

inside of state boundaries within
the public domain are clearly set
tled by these decisions to which all
must bow allegiance.
Doctors aa Menace.
To the Editor of Tha Jeurnal An
article from the New Tork American,
entitled "Th Cat aa a Menace" ap
peared In your paper yesterday. As
auch article appear from, tlma to time,
all etnanatlnr from those exceedingly
careful gentlemen, the doctors, I would

words on the subject myself. If tha
poor old cat was Just one sixteenth nart
or me menace to health that the doo
tors themselves ar there mlrbt be
some excus for all their hysterical x
cltcment In tha matter.
About seren . yeara ago my husband
hurt his foot badly enough to need tha
services of a doctor. Dtirinr tha doo
tor"a vUlt my little boy cam Into tha
rpom. in a ahort while tha child was
taken alck. Tha sam doctor was called
ana pronounced It scarlet fever. (Wa
naa no pew or any Kind.) . I questioned
the doctor In a rouud about way and
learned he iiad a scarlet fever case on
nana at tha ume of his flrat visit
Afy child was sick enough to need two
doctors for awhile. They both left th
sick room, went straight to a streetcar,
(full of children no doubt) without tak.
inr any precautions whatever against
spreading the disease. I said to one
of them one day: "Doctor, ara you ot
afraid of carrying the scarlet fever to
someone when you leave here?" Ha an
awered: "Oh. th fresh air Jet Us all tha
Krsjs-v th eas are out of doors
all night anyway, so why doesn't th
fresh air work th sam way with
them? v
That experience started m to think
ing and I never see a doctor enter a car
with his nice little black grip in his
hand but I think to myself, "I wonder
what sick bed of deadly contagion you
have Just left with only the fresh air
to act aa a ruard for th a-enaraJ. nnh.

SEVEN FAMOUS PRISONS
Cherry H11L
STORED RICinCS IN EASTERN
OREGON
r
T IS fro SURPRISE to students of
the geology of eastern, Oregon to
learn of one mineral treasure
after another' being disclosed
among the bare hills and desolate
plains which vary its far stretching
expanse.
The most recent find Is commer
cial lime of practically pure analy
sis, of which surface croppings of
over 2 00Q feet, are reported to have
bee,n followed out, some 15 miles
east of the Metollus railroad depot.
Large deposits are said to have been
found. If so the commercial worth
is very great, the more valuable if
the standard of purity in the mass
shall confirm the analysis of the
early samples, so justifying railroad
shipment without further treatment
on the spot .
Whoever Is interested along these
lines should make his own the book
that was , the legacy of Professor
Condon, the diligent student, "and
the master-teacWr for very many
years, of the geology of this state,
In the "Two Islands' he tells the
tale of the subsidence through the
dim centuries of the salt waters of
the ocean that deposited their bur-1
den Of salt and nitrates and sodas
and lime on the emerging beaches
and shores that, stretched- across
eastern Qregon, as the land rose
from the waters by such slow de
grees. ' Such deposits are not. burled

and desolation that hare kept away
Where Did the Money 5o?
TJetrolt. Or., May 8. To th Editor
of T:he Journal. Soma Interesting facts
have been brought to light in the de
partment of public works in Milwaukee,
Wis. The average cost of asphalt street
paving per square yard under the last
administration was $2.34; the asphalt
usea. according to the specification had
to be a particular brand controlled by
a certain company, thus were mat
ters under the old regime. Now, the
Bociaiist head of th publlo works has
changed that. He has so framed the
specifications that while better .street
work Is required, it Is not necessary to
get the nsphalt from th favored com
pany. What was tho result? The bids
offered the other day for street pav
ing snowed a reduction of 11.05 per
square yard. The total amount saved
on these bids will be $55,300 dollars
This amount would pay tho salary of
tne socialist , superintendent of street
construction for-IS years. The ques
tion Is, where did this big difference
go under the former . rule? To con
tractors' profits? Then no wonder the
contractors raised a hue against the,
new administration. To political graft?
Then no wonder they ar fighting the
socialists to the finish.
JOHN SEKAVEC.
In many raspecta. th most famous
prison on this continent Is tho Eastern
penitentiary at Philadelphia, popularly
known for many years, even up to quit
recently, as Cherry HI 11. from th for
mer nam of th piece of ground upon
which It is built It Is on of tho most
peculiar structures in Its arrangement
in the world, and tho ground plan of
this nrison has in part been adopted
In Ireland. England,' Franco and Belgium
i a convenient and economio model.
Th greatest criticism that is to be
found with the convict system practiced
at tha Eastern penitentiary is tha prac
tical solitary confinement of tho nrls
oners. An English writer, who a few
years ago studied tho prison system tn
this country, tn contrasting life at Cher
ry Hill with that of tho prisons of his
own country, and In fact In comparison
with similar institutions In this country.
said: "Here the miserable convict only
passes through an iron latticed door
on th inside of tho cell wall Into his
own yard, where Ilk a bear In a pit
he breathes th fresh air. Tho prisoner
In th Eastern penitentiary Is literally
as on burled alive, and. when released.
comes forth as one - dug out of tho
grave."
Tho Eastern penitentiary occupies 19
acres of ground and Is enclosed by a
wall 31 feet high. It was built In 1823
and Is one of th oldest prisons la the
country. A new prisoner arrivinr at
Cherry . Hill Is . first ushered - Into th
reception room, wher he Is prepared for
his unbroken cell life. He Is first shorn
of his hair, then given a shower bath,
next photographed, thereafter his meas
urements are taken according tq th
Berttllton system, snd finally, after riv
ing such part of his family history as
can bo extracted : from him, . and tho
rclatlv or friend who Is to bo notified
In case of his death, he Is pronounced
ready to be "burled alive."
- To th Eastern penitentiary there Is

during working hours, they ar as quiet
as may be any empty structure, for the

and looking down these long, dreary
passages of 'Cherry Hill,' th dull repose
is horrible because so unnatural.
Thar ar no cells at Cherry HflL as
ordinarily understood, but small rooms,

Thar Is a fin library at Cherry Hill,
which contains more than 10,000 vol
umes, and prisoners ar allowed to read
these books, as well as newapapera and
magazines, and during certain hours
they may Indulg In a smoke, th stat
allowing half a pound of tobacco a

have means they ar allowed to pur

amount of food is ample and is always
well prepared, so that prisoners never

Charles Dickens, who visited America
first in 1141, in his comments on Phila
delphia in "American Notes," devotes
almost his entire space to the Eastern
penitentiary, and his impression of the
solitary confinement he observed there,
and its effect upon th prisoners.
"In it intention." bo says. "I am well
convinced that' it Is kind, humane and
suadod that those who devised this sys
tem or prison discipline, and those ben
volent gontlemen who carry it Into ex
eoutlon, do not know what It Is . that
they ar dolor. I believe that very few
men are capabl of estimating th Im
mens amount or torture and agony
which this dreadful punishment pro
longed for years, inflicts upon tho suf
ferers! and In guessing at it myself, and
in reason from. what I have seen writ
ten upon their faces, and what to my
certain knowledge they feel within.
am only th more convinced that there
is a depth of ' terrible endurance in It
which, none but th sufferers themselves
can zatnom, ana which no man has th
right to Inflict upon his fellow crea
ture." JIi., .

are redoubling their efforts to perfect a

f German Postage Stamps la Rolls.
By Consul H. J. Dunlap. Cologne.
Tho Imperial German postoffic au
tnoritie have for several years been
experimenting with the idea of securing
postage sumps printed in rolls Instead
of ,ln sheets, so that they , may be sold
from "automats", as well a the usual
way. Rolls of stamps havo been sold,
but the strips havo been tprn apart and
pasted end to end by band. - Th extra
charge of 25 pfennigs for each roll, haa
new been discontinued.
A factory at Darmstadt has recently
perfected a machin which, prints the
stamps on roils, but as yet In one color
only. The denominations ar 3. 6. 10
and 20 pfennigs. It is expected that a
macnine xor printing in two colors will
eventually, b perfected.
The 3, ( and 10 pfennig stamna ara
pnnwa in mm or iouo each, the
prennig in roua of only 600. Higher
denominations are also nut un in rail
of i00, which have been prepared by
nana. :'', ? .?

thrill or pride tingling from Main t
Texas and from Oregon to Florida, a
along every creek and bayou in our In

are tn despair. Exactly the sam thin
happened in New Tork during tho Hud
