Monday afternoon at two o'clock
from the home. It will be re

which resulted in blood poison

mourn their loss. They have
many sympathising friends.
What They Think of Us
No unusual insight is necessary
for a stranger coming into Ore
gon to be convinced that the
state has great resources and
possibilities. This fact is well
advertisad throughout the nation
and even the world. Having
come from a most thrifty state I
re-affirm after residing here for
four years that the resources and
possibilities of . Oregon are not
exaggerated. But during the
past few months I have been
deeply embarrassed by questions,
quotations and remarks from
friends in the east. I have writ
ten glowing letters of the Oregon
country. Now I am receiving
some most embrassing letters
from these , same friends and
other acquaintances. With per
mission' of the writer, I have re
solved to publish quotations from
some of these letters that our
Oregon people may know what
our neighbors think of us and
why they think it
. A portion of one of these let
ters from the pen of a teacher in
the city schools of Hale, Missouri,
is as follows:
"What ails the people of Ore
gon on the school question? I
think it is a disgrace to the Na
tion as a whole to have such an
outrage perpetrated within its
borders. Several about here have
spoken of it. and every one is of
the same opinion. It is very hard
for us to believe it possible. Mis
souri is founding new State Nor
mal Schools, enlarf ing the old
ones and in every way raising
the standard of the State Normal
Schools. That is why we cannot
understand such an action on the
part of a State Legislature."
That such opions of us are be
ing held throughout the country
is a grim reality. This is truly
an uncomplimentory opinion and
doubtless there are many such
lettes being received by Oregon
ians from friends in the east

Russia's Grsat Fair.
What surprised and struck me
most about the fair was the great
size of it. One hears of the fair of
Nijni and one pictures to oneself a
quantity of small booths in a market
frtace. One does not realize at
east, I did not that the fair is a
large town, consisting entirely of
shops, hotels and restaurants. The
most important merchandise that
passes -hands at the fair consists of
furs. But there are goods of every
variety; secondhand books, tea and
silks from China, gems from the
Urals and "art nouveau" furniture.
There are also old curiosity shops
rich in old church vestments. From
Baring's "Russian Essays."
Easily Explained.
An old lady who was a passenger
on one of the ocean liners seemed
very much more afraid of the ice
bergs than of fogs or storms and
asked the captain what would hap
pen in case of a collision.
"Madam," the captain replied,
bowing low, "the iceberg would
move right along in its course just
as if nothing had happened."
And the old lady seemed greatly
