George M. Hyland Wants Po-
' sition, Which . Will Pay : at
;.Least $3000 Year While Jt
vLastsS
One of the first applicant for the dl
reotor of the Oregon exhibit at the Pan-
ama-Paclflq - exposition ; l:jajg at San
ffrancleco is George M. Hyland of Port-
-;- Mf,( Hyland la circulating, ife, ':' petition
among business men asking th ; newly
appointed state commission which will
ba In entire charge of he, expenditure
of .Oregon's appropriation of 1175,000
for the fair, to name, him for the place.
,j The directorship is expected to pay
about 13000 a year during the time It la
In effect If the commission chose to
pay more, however, there Is nothing In
tne legislative act appropriating the
Ii7e,ooo jo; prevent; The act specifies
that the commission "shall i have full
power and authority under the appropri
ation hereinbefore made to cause to b
erected such building or buildings1 and
collect and maintain an exhibit or ex
hibits of the products of the state of
Oregon at the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional exposition." ,
There is no further restriction as to
how the money shall be spent, ,
- At previous expositions at which Ore
gon has had a director of exhibits, bow
ever, the salary of that official has been
in the neighborhood of $3000 a year.
Members of the commission themselves
receive no compensation. It Is likely
that an appointment will be made soon
so that the work of collecting- the ex
hibit from this state may be begun at
once.
There are II or 20 subordinate-posi
tions, carrying much less salary, how
aver, to which the commission- may alao
make appointments In connection with
collecting and 'maintaining the exhibit.
Tha commission Is composed of O. M.
Clark and John if. Logan of Portland.
C. X Hawley of Polk county. R. A

Youths Saved From Rockpile
Sentence Through Efforts
of the Judge,
Three youths, two under their ma
jority, , were declared insane yesterday
and committed to tho Insane asylum
because Municipal Judge Stevenson be
lieved that the hospital , and not the
rockpile was the place for them. The
use of drugs by the three led to this
action. They were brought Into the
municipal court Friday ior . using drugs.
Dr. 3. KN Joscphl declared them of un
sound mind, Superintendent Stelner of
the asylum has offered, to Cooperate
with Judge Stevenson and will keep the
three until they are cured, if possible.
Harry Mulla. a bellboy, 18 years old,
is the , youngest, He told Dr. Joseph!
that a girl drug fiend Induced him to
use the drug two months ago. One
month ago he was sent to the rockpile
and since that time he said he had
used nothing, but lotus leaves. He usel
cocaine. : '
William Rose, 19 years old and a
cook, said he first learned to use mor
phine .when, he was In a hospital in
Ixs Angeles a year ago suffering" froni
a broken leg. '
John Holt,, a butcher, 24 . years old,
said he first took morphine in a Colo
rado camp for insomnia. For a time
he took two grains of morphine daily.
Three months sgo Court Officer Sher
wood arranged for a drug fiend to se
cure treatment at the asylum and he
was recently discharged cured. Dru
fiends and liquor users have flooded
the municipal court In the past and re
ceived rockpile sentences only to re
turn to their habits when discharged.
