That they wer in a boat which took
them within 100 feet of the mammoth
whale, while going deep sea fishing
off the Newport coast, was the state
ment made this morning by Dr. V.
R. Shinn - of this city who in com
pany with Mrs. Shmn, Dr. Wat kins
and wife and Mrs. St. Clair, all of
Portland, returned last night from a
weeks outing at the beach, and who
composed a party of deep sea fishers
on the latinch "Ollie S." when the
whale was sighted.
Dr. Shinn stated that the party Ictt
Newport on Wednesday morning
aboard the Olle S. on a fishing exenr
sion. Upon passing the jetty at the
mouth of tire "bav. their attention was
called to tl school of whales at quite a
distance off to the north. The wrrales
attracted tlie attention of the crew of
the boat by spouting water. A lit
tle later -a Trnge whale was siglited
quite a distance south of the jetty and
the boat proceeded in that direction
Maneuvering for about half an
hour, tlie captain managed to bring
the boat Tip to within 100 feet of the
huge mammal, much to the conster
nation of the passengers, who were
assured "by the captain that there was
no danger, contending that the vibra
tion of the liig 80 horse power gaso
line engine of the boat would Veep
the wTrale away.
Several on boad fired shots at the
whale, some of which took effect,
causing it to cut numerous caprices,
in going below the surface and com
ing up. The captain of the OTh'e S.
said, according to Dr. Shinn, tliat it
was tlie largest whale he had seen on
the Pacific coast. Dr. Shinn said
they weTe so close that thev conld see

WILL PERFECT PERMANENT
. CEMETERY ORGANIZATION
The "Academy oi Our Lady of Per
petual Help," one of the oldest insti
tutions in this city, will begin on
September 15 what promises to be
its most successful year. The Mother
Superior and her capable companions
have recently returned from Port
land where they attended the "Catho
lic teachers' Institute."
This annual meeting of teachers is
well calculated to advance the cause
of learning. Therein are considered
the phases of child learning the
methods the matter and the results.
State law requires all teachers in Ore
gon to pass the state teachers' exami
nations, before they are licensed to
occupy any chair of teaching within
the state. Hence, at the Catholic
teachers' institute the most approved
methods are employed to prepare all
Catholic teachers to undergo State
examinations with high credit. The
Sisters of the academy passed all ex
aminations and are ready for the op
ening day.
the teachers' institute is held every
summer, and implies much self-sacrificing
work study during the morn
ing hours for several weeks without
interruption, and in the afternoons
a series of instructive lectures by some
of the noted educators of the East.
For the coming year tlie teaching
staff has been increased. The steatdy
increase of pupils during tlie two last
years necessitated this and it augurs
well for th-c future success of this
popular Academy. Yonlli is impres
sionable: and the atmosphere of pur
ity and industry in which the students
live day after day is bound to influ
ence them for life.
During tlie summer, repairs were
made in Academy hall of which will
add to the comlort ot the pupils. A
number of volumns will be added to
the library 'before the term begins.
For several years the advisability of
enlarging the building was tinder dis
cussion, but now the necessity became
apparent and it is hoped the addition
will be possible in the near Future.
A small booklet giving the scope
and rules of the Academy's educa
tional work is now in press, Tt gives
all the necessary information about
studies, terms, etc. and will be sent
to any address -upon application.
September 3 will mark the opening
of transportation by rail between the
extremes of the W illamette valley on
the west side of the river, the rails
of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
company meeting at Monroe where
a golden spike is to be driven.
Mark Woodruff, 250 pounds of en
thusiasm, in giving publicity to the
resources of the valley and in the
employ of the "Willamette Valley
Line," reached Albany this morning
and brings most flattering reports
of the prosperity of the Monroe dis
trict which is to he given access to
the world's markets through the
buildinir of the P.. E. & E.
"It is a great year along the Long
Tom, around Alpine, Uelltonutan, and
in fact throughout the entire district
between Coryallis and Eugene," said
Mr. Woodruff.
"The farms over there arc spilling
more products of all kinds than at
any time in their history, and it will
not be considered egotism if 1 say
that a portion of their happiness is
attributed to the completion of the
P,. E. & E., which gives them an out
let north and south.
"The people of Monroe are pre
paring for a great celebration in con
nection with driving the golden spike
at. that place on September 3, a cele
bration that concerns the people of
Albany on the principles that any
thing which develops this section of
the valley is to their benefit. Special
trains troni corvallis and u.ugene will
meet near the grove where the Mon
roe people will be prepared to take
care of 5,000 people if necessary.
They have prepared an immense tent
in case of rain, drilled wells, and pre
pared ample quarters for spreading

.Loganberries are Shipped.
Billed ior Chicago markets, $17,000
worth of loganberries were shipped
from the warehouses of the Eugene
Fruit Growers' association yesterday.
The berries were put up in dried form,
this method of preserving them hav
ing been found to be much cheaper
than canning. No difficulty was
found in finding a market for the
dried fruit, though this method of
caring for the berries was by no meant
past the experimental stage. The
weight of the shipment was 7500
pounds. The force of workers at the
