t 2:41 o'clock, until 3 nine minutes
ffor totality, cloud light and fleecy,
but enoucli tor hut offtthe solar spec
tacle trailed across th4 heavens.
As Dr. William Wallaein Campbell, di
rector of the Lick expedition, entered
tha tent at the base of he 40-foot as
tronomical camera to make hla expos
ures of the sun's coroiia, 'the clouds
broke An unnatural light suffused
the countryside, the sun was - blotted
out exoept for 'a flre-Bke ring- that
marked It in magnificent - grandeur
against the a sure-blue sky. For one
minute and fifty-seven seconds It re
remained so. Then, like ' a super
diamond of blinding brilliance the rays
flashed forth as the shadow passed on
Its crescent-shaped way, i releasing bit
by bit the light of the biasing orb.
Five minutes later sun and moon were
behind a eloudbank again.
Conditions Are Ideal
Dr. Campbell, who in his darkroom
had beeii without accurate knowledge
as to cloud conditions, stepped out.
"How Is It, professor r he asked of
Professor Ueber D. Curtis, who had
been making the sky observations.
"Practically perfectly clear," an
swered Professor Curtis. '.
A drop suspiciously like; a tear glis
tened In Dr. Campbell's eye. The scl
' entlsts shook hands all around among
themselves and with tha few others
. who had been admitted to) the observa-
.- tory Inclosure, and they all shook hands
again with William , H. Crocker. San
Francisco' banker, who disclaims any
"technical knowledge of astronomy, but
who finances the Lick t observatory

Dr. Campbell, "all conditions were satis

. Ten exposures were m4de with the

. Before Its Close on June 28.
By Marshall S. Dana
. Bend, June 6. The bankers of Oregon
have a bigger Job than counting their
peK cents and figuring their discounts.
They are going-home from . Bend and
their 13th annual convention to - help
this isfate. add $14,000,000 ta Its War

state director of the War Savings -cam
palgn as privates to buy stamps and to
sell stamps snd to do anything else the
state War Savings committee wants
done.
In their. enthusiasm for the aggressive
thrift movement they talked in a pre
liminary way of coolly absorbing tht
state's entire quota and the" redistribut
ing It among depositors &-t4 people gen

It would be best for each to return to

This leading reference to the War Say

that all the bankers did in their conven
tion was to wax eloquent and generous
over thrift.
As a matter of fact, the participation
In the .thrift, campaign by the bankers
of the state did become the chief subject
of consideration. It was the feature
of the convention. While there was
talk about giving prises to children who
wrote essays on agricultural - or boys'
and girls' club .work, no other award
was ' spoken of except Thrift or War
Savings Stamps. Those who play golf
declared . they are paying wagers In
Thrift Stamps.

unanimously to put, $300 of its funds

To discuss the new freight rates
scheduled to go Into effect June 25 under
the order of William O. McAdoo. direc
tor general of railroads, and the effect
such Increased rates will have upon the
growers, and shippers of Oregon a pub
lic conference with growess and shippers
will be held by the public service com
mission Thursday at 1 :S0 p. m. in room
252 of the courthouse. -
The purpose of the new freight rate

man of the commission. Saturday night.
was undoubtedly to preserve thesJnteg
rity of the present rate structure, to
maintain the present proportional rates
and give a general advance -of 25 per
cent. But the order will defeat its own
aims in Mr. Miller's opinion, because It
imposes burdens greater than tha traffic
of the state will bear and. result In re
duced shipments.
Make West Psy Bill
Mr. Miller . says that from careful
examination made last year on three
trips between the Middle West and the
Atlantic seaboard, he is convinced that
the roadbeds, rolling stock and railroad
terminal ,f acuities in the West are in
much better condition than those in the
East and do not require so much ex
penditure for maintenance, so that the
new order, which Is supposed to pro
vide revenue ."to defray the expenses
of federal control and operation fairly
cnargeame to railway operating ex
penses," in reality makes the Western
shipper pay for the upkeep and opera
tion or t-asiern railroads. '
"The proposed carload minimum is
