called the subject to the attention of

they- should cooperate in the estab

Improvements which would preserve

Seeing . Portland
The Same Being
YEAR or more ago, in the spring
of 1914 in fact, Julian Street, nov,
allst and .'magazine writer, .and
"Wallace Morgan, artist,' arrived in
Portland. After establishing . them
selves at one. of our best hotels, they
set forth, notebook and ' sketch pad in
hand, to see Portland. 1 k
Thev souerht out a few of our, first
citizens and confided their fesire to
get an Intimate insight into life In
Portland and the living thereof. They
expressed contempt for him who re
cites statistics Uke a chamber of com
merce bulletin; they . announced they
were not interested In base commer
cialism. What they wanted was a view
of the social side of .life and to learn
what the city had to offer by way of
club : buildings, comfortable homes,
works, of art, both public and private,
and the like. ' ' ' ' s 7'-p
. Their observations were to constitute
one of a series of , articles l entitled
"Abroad at ,Home," which they were
preparing for Collier's-'-that is,-Street
was doing tbe writing and Morgan the
illustrating, f Accordingly they were
shown the best th city affords
As the publication of thej articles
began, the progress of the tourists en
gaged in this . unique stunt Of , ,dping
America? was watched with I Interest.
Their opinions in word and picture of
Buffalo, Cleveland. Detroit, ! Chicago,
St. Louis. Kansas City, etc. .were
scanned ever with the thought; I won
der what they rWill havo to say, about
Portland ?" - - ? - ": ! . -
And then came the blow. After the
publication of the article concerning
San Francisco, the series was summar
ily concluded. Portland was ignored
as completely as though she did not
exist and what is worse from the,
standpoint of the creators of the series
they, apparently were left marooned
on the Pacific coast. - : ; . f
What an Inquiry Reveals.
An Inquiry was In order. J We wrote
and demanded to know. : Wei Inquired
in what book of .etiquette was found a
rule that permitted such : screaming,
slandering silence about Portland in a
discussion of the great cities of the
earth. -We politely reminded j Street of
the gasoline i that "had - been ) spent v1
whirling him and his artist companion,
Wallace Morgan, over Portland's
matchless thoroughfares; of the busy
business men who. had giyeni of their
time, of the charming daughters who
had given of their smiles, of the news
papers that had given of their space
and of the general , pubjiq ; that had
given its nickels week after week In
the. hope that that week's Collier's
would have the story. . r
We expected a-srof hse' and elaborate
apology. We didn't get it. Instead we
got a very simple one. Street hadn't
had time to write the story; j that was
alt ?
Christmas was coming. His contract
called for a- completed series In Col
lier's and revised copy for the book ln
time for the Christmas book season.
By the hardest kind of hustling be
ana Morgan naa got tne serifs com
pleted as far as San Francisco when
the publisher aaid. ,'Tlme,a np - If you
know anything at ail about publishers,
o Street says, you know they are un
scrupulous and won't pay anything at
all for a Christmas book that; reaches
them the following February,1 The fact
mat its an aib-year-rouna book, aoesn't
make any difference", he says: the nub-
Usher takes advantage pf the techni
cality and abuses his power.
So Portland, Seattle, Butte, r Minne
apolis. St. Paul and Milwaukee simply
didn't get written..". . l

gested the amiable author. Like Cor

late he had left his solar plexus ex

cleverness we need only say we ex

The revelaUon of widespread use f

fitted to turn an exceptional candidate
into an exceptional naval -commander,
and tha academy g-ets only the ordi

However, this is not : given here aa
a palliation. The naval coda of honor
is a peculiar one, but it does not in any
way cover up cheating to pass "exams."

The fatal Branch-Meriwether hexing

tions of peculiarities in the academy.
The- fight was held In a room of Ban
croft hall during supper time one ev

Class man and Branch a first class
man. To -hold the fight at auchr
time involved the consent and conniv
ance of . first etiss.men, for undir the
code such fights must ba referred by
a first class man; another senior class
man muit act as timekeeper, - and. in
thia Instance -f was necetsary for two
company captains at least to fail to
report absent from supper formation

timekeepers. It was so 'necessary for

1 Many such- fights had been ht Id be

peon" who had to patcM up th parti
cipants, had winked at the practjc. ;;.
But this time Meriwether became
unconscious in the twenty -econd
round and later died without regaining
consciousness. . A rigid investigation
was held and punishments ware meted
out. but tha vary superior of fieera who
Imposed the penalties, bad Uttl stom

brought to- light today by workmen
who were excavating for & cellar under
the old home of Eugene Butler, south
east of Niagara. Six skeletons were
unearthed, each with the skull crushed

coming to this state In 1882, went In

limited course of , one year in 1840.
In 1860 came the. first reorganiza
tion, providing for a course of aeven
years, the first two and the laat two
to be devoted to study and tho three
intermediate years to be spent at sea.
The next year a beard of examiners
dropped the three years of aea Mrvtee
in tha middle of the course and the
present four consecutive years of study
was inaugurated.. Tbe practice cruise
of the summer supplied tbe place, of
