(Hpeclnl) Admiral M. l O'Cal lanhan, C.H.C.V.O., of tho British navy, 80 years old and making lils flrwt trip to the western coast, is not an easy person to ' hirer- Icw. Not because he Is unwill ing to give information about hlm M'lf, but because he Is , modest utterly and delightfully modest and Is afraid that be wilt bore bis listeners with tales of his ac complishments. Ho could never do that, however, for he Is the most Interesting, charming . per t.on that one could wish to meet. Ho has a wonderful sense of hu mor that flares up at every pro vocation. Ho told us he was an admiral. We Inquired as to his rank and hp said, "Well. I am u ice-ndml-, rnl nnd n rear-admiral most of the time, but after meals 1 am a full admiral,'.' and then he la imb ed heartily. Admiral O'Callnghan served In the ltrltlHh navy from 1KU1 until i his retirement In 1007. During that time ho was aide-de-camp i to King Kdward VII nnd accom 1 anted him on his frequent viHs toj KulHor Wllhelm of Germany. ".SinOo his retirement bo has been training King George In the rudi ments of tho nuvy. He taught him how to manipulate tho king's yacht, tho "Meteor." and accom panied the king (o Kell, Clermany to the famous boat races nome years ago. Ho leads an active life In the service of His .Majesty. 1 le has led ma ny na va I batt les. one of the moat oiitHtanding en gagements being that which he led and won on tho Mediterranean sea , with tho sea-roving plrateu, the Hurmese. These people, he hold, are merciless and they line the rigging of their ships with the r.kulls of their victims. Admiral O'Cnllaghan is visiting with his nephew, Percy H. itlythe of Portland. He spent the past five months In New Zealand and came to the United States through tho l'nnama Canal. Mr. Itlythe and son, ICilward, accompanied tho ndinlrnl to Crater lako Mon day. Admiral O'Cnllaghan said that ho never. In all his travels over no waters of the earth, had seen a blue to equal the, blue of Cra ter lake.

(fP) Sudden) severe tumbles in grain values took place during the late dealings toduy. Corn, fell about 4c a hUKhel from the day's top level and wheat about 4c. Urgent efforts to realize profits after corn and all other grain had reached new high price records for the season proved to be of too overwhelming a chararter toward the last, with new buyers backing away, although no general break up of drought appeared to be In sight. .May delivery of wheat showed an extreme temporary break of 6 cents a bushel from the day's top point, and September corn a maxi mum drop of 4 3-4. Wheat and corn both closed nervous, wheat lower than yesterday's fin ish nd corn showing IK -2 ft net decline with oats 7-8 to 1 3-8 off and provisions at 10-17 advance. AS GRAINS SOAR T PORTLAND, 'aw. 7. Com modity prices have begun to an swer the call to higher ground. With corn and wheat values soar ing at Chicago, flour, butter nnd eKg quotatlotiH are likewise soar ing. The first two products ad vanced materially Thursday with eggs firming up, evidently in an ticipation of another advance. All grades of butter were up 1c at the Portland produce exchange, bringing extras to 3tic. Butterfat nt the snmo time step ped up 2c to 3Gc, delivered Port land. Family patents and pastry flour wore advanced 20c by the Kperry Flour company. Two of the summer's choicest fruits peaches and cantaloupes are now in very liberal supply, and prices nre considered reasonable. Green corn has dropped to about 1 5c a dozen.
