The famous battleship Oregon, which

Daniels, secretary of the navy at Wash

The lotter from tho secretary of the
navy was written in reply to one dated
March 17. lu which Governor West
transmitted a petition from the Roose
velt school at Mcdford, that the battle
shin Oregon be saved from, the junk
man. In roply the secretary of tho
navy says there is no intention on the
part of the department to withdraw
the Oregon from the Pacific reserve
fleot at the navy yards on Pugot
Sound.
"The true status of tho vessel will
be somewhat modified in the near fu
ture, as a shortage of porsonnol renders
it advisable to eliminate features here'
tofore existing which involved Imme'
diate preparedness of the vessel for any
duty, ' ' the secretary continues. " Biml
lar action is to be taken in the easo of
certain other battleships in the Atlan
tic reserve floet. This does not contem-
date the dismantling of the Oregon in
any sense of the word, and, for the prcs
ent, tho vessel will remain in the re
serve fleet and be eared for by suffi
cient porsonnel to prevent undue deterioration."

Silverton, tho Y. M. C. A. minstrels
wero nblo last night to put on iu the
Silverton opera house tho best of the
series of performances which that
troupe has staged this winter.
A crowd of 100 people, including tho
show troupe, went from Salem. Tho ex
cursion train probably had tho livolieBt
ntorior during the journey to tho other
do of tho county of- all special trains
that wore ever mado up in Salem. Thoso
who did not belong to tho troupe of en
tertainers stocked with lemons and oth
er fruits before the train left town, aud
mado things lively inside the cars
throughout the whole trip. Bert Hous
ton had instructed. 5j.!s conductors t to
give the jolly youngstors the right of
way, aud thoy sure gobbled up all of it.
Silvorton reached, the people of that
town wore treated to the host perform
ance since the days of tho beloved
Homer Davenport.
Pleased With Train Service.
"I can't say enough of the groat
treatment glvon us by Mr. Houston and
the Southern Pacific Company,' said
Secretary C'ompton, of tho Y. M. C. A.,
this morning. "Tha train was roomy
and every accommodatoin that could
be reasonably asked was given us.
There are a lot of people to thank for
the success of the event."
Stanley Barton did a big service in
working up sentiment for tho trip, and
n selling tickets. He had his musicians
right up in tho pink of condition, and
the orchestra was one of the best fea
tures of tho show.
"Then there was Harry Moyor
Harry is responsible for tho scenic ef
fects, and he also managed the stage,
One of his stunts provod tho hit of tho
evoning. While Ray Chaplor was sing
ing 'Take Mo Back to Babyland,' a bal
loon offoct, originated by Moyer, car
ried little Violet Wood out ovor the au
dloaco. The little girl accompanyicd
the singor with a mouth organ, and
very accurately imitated a crying baby.
J. E. Dawson, of Dawson k Flanne-
gin, architects, accompanied the troupe
as one of the soloists, and further con
tributed by arranging a miniature train
effect which passed across the stago In
the darkness as tho curtain went up.
Another of tho song hits of tho ev
ening was "Down on the Misissipp!,'
by Mr. Dawson. The snare drum stunts
of McKcvItt wero a wonder to the au
dionce. The management of the troupe
consider Mr, McKovitt one of tho most
valuable acquisitions. Doc Epley an
Ray Chapter, la tho "Zeke and Undo
Cy" stunt, again capturod the crowd.
The first part of , tho show was
staged at an alleged Silverton depot, At
the end of tl act Carl Gahrlslion sang
"All Aboard for Alabam," and ths sec
ond part of the show was staged in
Dixie, A largo audlPIIcO greeted tho
performers.
That a first-class ticket entitles the
holder to rido in any coach on a train,
except those requiring additional faros,
such as Pullmans and observation cars,
was the ruling today of the stato rail
road commission in the ease of ft com
plaint filed by V. Vincent Jones, a real
estate dealer of Portland, against the
Hill lino running to Astoria. Jones as
serted that passengers bound for way
points betwoen Portland and Astoria
wero herded into a certain coach, while
thoso bound for Astoria and points be
yond wero given another coach, lie
complained on one occasion when ho
found himself in a forward coach with
a lot of noisy loggers, and tho conductor
allowed him to tako tho Astoria Coach
a-t fur as Rainier, his destination. How
ever, he disliked to seo others herded
in any particular conch, and wanted a
ruling.
Besides telling Jones about his
rights, tho commission asked him to re
port any further violations of tho or-dor.
Rai roads in many slates, as well as
Oregon, havo been In tho hnbit of herd
