Officials Covet Staff Until They Consider Prob lem of Semoval. San Francisco, Nov. 10. Who want a great, big, rambling building, of the finest Oregon fir, one of the struc tures which has been a real attrac tion at" the Panama-Pacific exposition and the best advertising feature to he erected by any state? That question Is now claiming the attention or tlio Oregon commission, and with ono preservation plan after another falling through. It looks as r the building will have to be sold outright to some building wreckers. The latter are looking for every thing from the kitchen sink to the brass doorknobs and omitting noth ing In between. This also Includes the Oregon flag pole, that 300 foot muff of timber, which has been a "white elephant" to every one that eer handled it. A delegation from the San Fran '.sco school board came to see the commissioners the other day ail wanted to get that flagpole to place on one of the school playgrounds. They considered It no particular task to move the pole to where the? wanted ll. which brings up the story of how the Iole happened to be down here mid how It finally was put In place oti the bay shore In front of the build ing. As far back as IftlS that pole was m-rit to the exposition and presented to 'the officials by the Whitney Lum Ur company and the people of Asto ria. It was accepted In a very Impos ing ceremony and the exposition ofl'l cIhIs planned to put It In front of the Tower of Jewels, almost half a mile from the bay. The pole was then forsoSten foe a while arid In the meantime had a chance to develop ft pretty warp on the sand at the bay's edge Then one nllit the pole broke loose and start ed on tho return Journey to Oregon thruugh the Uolden Gate. A fisherman caught the pole and brought It hack. He had a bill for ealvag", and that came fo Oregon. Oregtiii promptly said that the pole belonged to tho exposition, and' the latter paid the, salvage. Then they started to take the pole tn the Tower of Jewels. It would have cost about $0000 to get It that far arid rntsn it. They dropped it where it was and forgot it lor a time. Then George M. Myland got busy ond told them they had accepted it and had to do something with it. They ielt like burning It up, yet didn't flare. So, after $11400 was finally pent, it was put in place where it elands today, a marker for the Ore gon building and something that can be seen from everywhere. Oregon "slipped one over" on the exposlttotf and still got all the glory from trie flappole. The school delegation was again told that t lie flagpole belonged to the exposition, that It was up to them to remove It, but after, hearing the story of the pole's wanderings, the commit tee from the schools decided not to see the exposition officials for fear they, too, might get something they reaily didn't want. Hauling that stick over San Fran cisco's bills would be a real Job and po mistake. Commissioner John F. Iogan, who has been here since the visit of Gov ernor Wlthyoombe, returned to Port land Tuesday, leaving C. Is. llawley and It. A. Booth as the resident com niisHionerH. Mr. Hawley is tho Ac tive commissioner at this time. Thursday there was a great sign in front of the Oregon building, which read: "Y-ou will have to excuse us from 1 to 3 p.- m. We are enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner." The residents of the building, "the family," 30 in all, were the guests of the commission at a real home dln r.er, planned by Commissioner Haw ley. That night the commission and the Oregon Society of California en tentained In the building with a re ception and dance. The building was beautifully decorated for the event arid attracted a good attendance be cause of Its probably being the last to be held under the auspices of the Oregon society. Oregon people who attended the re ception wen Dr. O. M. Saul, Portland; Hans F. Schmidt, Canyonville; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Saul, Portland; Mr. and Changes in Rates Are Now Sought By Broom Makers Sweeping changes In the reg- ulatlons of railway baggage de- partments are being sought by Portland broom manufacturers, it Through the Chamber of jjt Conwiierce, the manufacturers ljt have applied to the Interstate Commerce commission for the right to carry full length 4fr brooms in sample cases with- 4(t -lit out having to pay excess bag- ?t gage charges. The hearing $ was held yesterday afternoon before Kxamlner Butler. The tfr roads defending the case are If ift the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, O-W. IX. & N Great 4fc Northern, Mllwaukle and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle. The railroads say the broom $ handles can be sawed off to 9t come within the 45-lnch parcel jt limit required by the present t m regulations. Sample whips are carried $ without excess charges and that Is why the broom people gay they should have a similar privilege. 12 Bott Assort d Liquor.lea.kiDd, $7.95 3.00 Forest Hone Whisky, gallon SS.SS $4.00 Sam Clay Whisky, gallon ii.SS Beat T.

"lowest and highest to eat at same table.'' read the announcement. It meant that the governor of Ore gon, the mayor of Portland and other officials were to try to get a five cent meal at the Workingmen's club on Front street. When they had finished and were not allowed to pay, except In speeches. the 600 men who had crowded into the narrow room this happened last Tues day heard them praise the food. Us quality and' quantity, and heard them give tribute to Ben Selling, the mer chant, who founded the club and pays its deficits in order that men Who've the smallest amount of money m;i,y eat without feeling they are submitting to charity. Praise was given, too, to Captalp J. G. McClelland, who Knows the men and their needs and ho to give them much for little. One of the guests said that at home he'd never had German pot roast so good, and another declared that had he eaten elsewhere as when a guest of the Workingmen'B club, the cost would not have been less than four bits. For that matter the menu of five cent dishes, with each of which was served bread, coffee, buttermilk, or lemonade, will give the Idea. The list Included: Clam ch,owder. Baked salmon, tomato sauce, Paris ian potatoes. Baked macaroni and cheese, Italian German pot roast with noodles. English plum pudding and brandy sauce. Petrograd stew. Oregon roast pork. Hood River apple sauce and mashed potatoes. Assorted pies. Audience Zs Interested. The audience was of greater Inter est than the speakers. It was a cos mopolltan audience for many nations were represented, and much experience There were men in it who si 'ar have been beaten In the contest called Making a Living. There were men Just catching their breath between ef forts. There were those who by their very faces showed conviction It isn't worth while to struggle upward. Captain McClelland did a strange thing. Hands Go TJp. " "Hold up your hands, all you who ever have been down and out or broke," he directed. Half the offlcals and busi ness men who were guests held up their hands. Right then and there the atmosphere changed. "Lowest and highest to eat at frame table" was merely a f'guie of speech. They were Just men all having luncheon together, men of the same experience, some with greater determination, some with larger oppor tunity, some with greater ability, but all associates in the knowledge of" what this old world levies on the man who would do more than merely exist. The room was hung with fl'igs A little orchestra added to the festivity. One of the officials turned to another. "Do you know who are the chief beneficiaries from having come here?" And the other answered wi;'.i the conviction of all: "We are." "A Man's a Man for a" That" decide state and city officials. Men of much variety of experience lunch at Workingmen's club.

With tb conquest and opening up of the connecting link in the Orient railway between Belgrade and Sofia by the Teutonic and Bulgarian allies, a vast storehouse rich In much needed raw materials has been made acces sible for the supply of the hard pressed central powers. Probably the moit important feature of this accomplish ment is the bringing of the Austro Hungarlan and German nations into communication with lands wnere are found minerals ana products of agri culture In abundance; though the con trol of the Orient railway, also, enables the remunitionlng- of Turkey and the transportation bf German troops to territories threateningly near the Suez canal. The mineral and agricultural wealth of Turkey-in-Asia is very great. This wealth, however, le largely of the po tential kind, for, except in limited areas, agriculture is carried on accord ing to primitive methods, while, for the most part, the mineral stores hae been left untouched. Among the min erals known to exist in considerable quantities are iron, copper, nickle, ead, manganese, silver, sulphur, coal, anti mony, arsenic, emery, fuller's earth, gold, koallnvzlnc, alum, asbestos, rock salt, boracide, chrome and mercury. Of these resources the copper stores will likely be the most prized by the Ger mans, though little hum been done un der Turkish administration toward ex ploiting the copper. The reserves of Anatolian copper are said to be large, drain Orowa in Abundance. Wheat, corn and barley are grown in large quantities in Asia Minor, and, in normal times,- much of the surplus barley hag been exported to Great Brit ain, where it has been used lor brew ing. There is a considerable surplus of wheat, which should relieve the reported meal scarcity in the mills of the central powers. The west coast of Asia Minor Is noted for the fruits that ripen in its Mediterranean climate. Here are grown an important part of the world's raisin crop. Olives and figs also thrive along the Aegean coast. Where hot summers swelter over the northern Anatolia coasts some of the finest Turkish tobacco is raised, which, in all likelihood, is now a rare luxury among German smokers. A eort of to bacco is grown in Germany, a pale, insipid, unfragrant leaf, which bears little resemblance to the rich tobacco of America, Turkey and the East In dies. Great quantities of hazel nuts are among the exports of this area, and cotton, another staple which the Germans are said to be greatly in need of, is grown in the districts Of Kassaba and Aidin in the west, and on the Cillcian plain in the southeast. Manufacturing Is Neglected. All through; Turkey-ln-Asia there has been but little accomplished toward building up a manufacturing industry. Olive oil soap is extensively manufac tured at Smyrna; carpets are- woven In various places, mostly products of home Industry; leather is produced; and cigarettes are made In large num bers. In Syria there are Important weaving, dyeing and tanning indus tries at Aleppo and Aintab, and there is some small manufacture In Meso potamia. The principal exports of Asia Minor are raisins, tobacco, figs, barley, liquorice, wool, hides, cotton and skins. Owing: to the backward organisation of the country. It la difficult to assign any values to the annual exports of these articles, which would be worth considering. The leading exports of Syria include lemons, oranges, sesame, map, silk, barley and licorice, while Mesopotamia exports large shipments of dates, wool, barley, wheat snd opium. Temen, in Arabia, the land which is mostly a desert, exports the famed Mocha coffee. Coffee is said to be very scarce In Germany now. Dates are about the only other export from Arabia of any importance. Syrian Soil Xs TertUe. The climate of Syria Is of the ex treme Mediterranean type, and most of the soil is fertile. In great part, how ever, it rerrvaina un worked. Silk worms are raised in many parts of the land, and, before the war's outbreak, most of the silk was sent for manu- Centenary to Hold i Services Honoring ' Booker Washington- Memorial services irt honor Of .
