(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.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7. (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.
