OLDEST PROJECT
Four Speakers in Coming Con.
, vention to Advocate a Na-j-j.
: tional. University.
Chicago, July Four men will ipeak
at. thfl coming meeting- of the' 'National
Education association In Qi lea go In fa
vor fit the national university. The
project la more thart 123 years of age.
The convention, which opened today, is
not expected to galvanise the project
into life, but a good start may be made.
Recently the general subject has been
revived In the public mind by the death
of Dr. John W. Hoyt, an Ohio man, born
In Worthlngton,, who for many years
was at the head of the movement and by
Home was termed its father.
The designation, however, seems ,to
belong to the father of his country.
George Washington, in his will, which
became effective 1798, left $25,000 in
Interest bearing securities as an endow
ment fund for the university and direct
ed that. It should remain Intact and
automatically augment Itself by the In
terest until suJ , a university became
Bn accomplished fact.
Thin money seems to have disap
peared, dissolved Into thin air," for ac
curate accounts or its """history are
meager, contradictory and vague. Money
at t per cent, compounded, ylll more
than double Itself every 12 years. On
this basts, George Washington's bequest
today represents the almost staggering
urn of $25,600,000.

At the Oaks.
Lady Livingstone, the skating bear
at the Oaks, made a hard run for it
for first honors with King Pharaoh,
the educated horse, and accordingly
Manager Cordray reengaged the duo
for an additional week. Lady Living
stons la a big black she bear, who likes
nothing better than to have roller skates
buckled on her sheathed claws and to
glide over the smooth polished floor.
King Pharaoh occupies a position of
honor at the grandstand, where he does
almost everything but talk. King can
juggle with words, figures, and seems
to have more common horse sense than
any luiman of his own years, 6. King
loves to play with the youngsters.
The Neapolitans are an unique at
traction and have proved a positive de
llBht to the big crowds at the Oaks.
They sing, play and dance. Punch and
Judy occupies a position of honor for
children on the bill, while the concerts
twice 'hilly by the big Oaks purk hand,

There will be a new play each week.
The popularity of Miss Countlss
among all classes of play goers is no
weed of hasty growth. It took deep
root during her two years of varied
toek achievement.- She has personal
charm and distinction, and since last
seen In Portland has come Into promi
nence among the best known women of
the stage, adapted alike to comedy and
roles of strong, sincere emotion. She
will have a tremendous welcome.
Sydney Ayres, also a strong favorite,
and an actor of refinement and charm,
will be the leading support, associated
with players of personality and achieve
ment, experienced with the best stars

Schad, Edward Wilbur, Claire Sinclair,

"The Bridge of the Gods."
Bedecked with alt the panoply that
hangs about an Indian story with the
real redmen participants, "The Bridge
of the Gods," the great story of the
early days of Oregon when the great
stone arch that stretched across the Co
lumbia river at the Cascades crashed
Into the river, will transplant a great
audience tomorrow and Wednesday
night at Multnomah field into the ac
tual scenes that surrounded the down
fall of Indian domination in Oregon.
The forefathers of the very redmen who
will be seen In the great drama were,
perhaps, spectators of the crash of the

Lew Sully, famous minstrel, occupies
second place on the bill to open at the
Orpheum tomorrow aXternoon. Sully
weighs 300 pounds and reviewers of
hla act say he provides a laugh for
every ounce of his bulk. He will ap
pear in "Feminine Fads" a creation of
his own, In which a burlesque on the
vaudeville act of Alice Lloyd Is fea
tured., Concerning Sully's act the Se
attle Crlttc said:
"Lew Sully Is a welcome caller when
ever his trunks are checked to Seattle
and he Is here again with a line of
funny talk that, loses nothing In effect
by being familiar, and the songs he
slnga are rendered In the true Sully
spirit of comedy. To what he did here
before Sully had added forty pounds of
fat and imitutlons of Alice Lloyd. Ho
Is a riot
natural stone bridge that followed pour
ing on it of millions of tons-of molten
lava from erupting AJount Hood. Their
legends tell of such an experience. The
scene setting shows this great moun
tain towering over the heads of the
audience, Its snow capped top appar
ently many miles distant, at its base
flows the Columbia. In front Is an In
dian encampment.
The story tells of the coming of the
white' man; It shows' the fire and tor
ture stake; Indian council camps and
the smoking of the peace pipe; grim In
dian threats. While the story weaves
Itself about the tragic life story of
Wallula. daughter of Chief Multnomah,
the Indian in all his native dignity, in
hiacolor panoply and mounted on mag
nificent Indian ponies, has his place
in the tale. The me.dlclne man and
soothsayer tells of the ending of Indian
rule. Knowing his doom. Chief Multno
mah dies, and with the waiting of hun
dreds of his tribesmen, the aged chief
tain Is laid on a pyre In his blazing ca
noe, and canoe and man are set afloat
forever on the waters of the Columbia.
Slowly the canoe passes out of sight
behind the hills. "The Bridge of the
Gods" is over.
Over 600 persons and $25,000 In cash
have been used to make "The Bridge of
the Gods" a success. It achieved suc
cess conspicuously for the Rose Festi
val, and It Is believed that the success
will be just as great for the Elks' con
vention.
White Slave Motion rictnre.
A remarkable series of motion pic
tures, showing the success of the great
movement all over the country to pre
vent the evil of white slavery will be
shown In this city at either the Baker
or Bungalow theatres all next week
afternoons and evenings accompanied
by an Interesting lecture on the subject
by Dr. John Martin. These widely ad
vertised motion pictures have been ne
gotiated for here but all details are not
yet complete as to thair appearance. Ttje
subject and Dr. Martin's manner '."tot
treating It, both In film and talk, is
all new to this city and everywhere he
has appeared the theatres have not been
large enough to accommodate the crowds
clamoring for admission.
Washington, July (.Past 1 Assistant
Surgeon Grubs, of the public health and
marine hospital service, San Juan, Porto
Rico, has reported to Burgeon General
Blue that examinations show that a
mile of the waterfront is Infected with
germa oCthe bubonic plague.
Twelve cases with five deaths have
occurred in San Juan. The first . sub
pected case was reported June 14. There
appears to be two foci of the disease.
The source is probably Infected rats,
although this has not as yet been de
termined. ' Active measures are' being
taken to prevent the spread of disease.
As a rigid maritime quarantine has
been maintained at San Juan against
all vessels arriving from ports known
to be plague-Infested, It Is supposed
the infection was Introduced from
some port Where, the plague exists
and has not been recognised, or if
recognized, has not been reported.
Measures are being taken to limit the
infection to the Island of the old city.
The worst houses In the affected area
are being destroyed after being first
surrounded by a wire fence. Other
stringent measures to suppress a Berl
oua outbreak that will threaten the
territorial United States are being
taken. '
Systematic rat catching and inspec
tion is being prosecuted and dally house
Inspections are being carried on by the
health authorities. Observation and
detention camps have been provided.
The plague Is widely prevalent in all
the southern colonies of America and
Europe. Rigid Inspection of all ships
entering American ports from Porto
Rico, Cuba, Central and South Ameri
can countries and Europe has been
ordered.
