PORTLAND, Ore, June %

tally Oregon, have assembled ar

finest educational displays ever seen.
This is contained on the second floor
OF the Oriental Exhibits building and
has been arranged under the super
vision of Director of Educational Elk
hibits Robinson. 1t attracts mucn at
tention from visitors.
All of the displays are represent
alive of the various departments Of
the educational system of the Pacific
Northwest. from the primary grades
to the highest classes in institutions
of collegiate rank. To each school
mas been assigned a gallery of suff-
Client size to house large and repre-
sentative exhibit. The galleries are
finished in green burlap with white
wood trimmings and the whole Is fes-
TONED with green and white bunting.
Beginning at the south wall of the
Oriental Exhibits building. the educa-
uonal displays OF Oregon and of the
city of Portland continue until they

wall. All specimens of school work
are contained in handsome fardw r
cabinets. These are provided with
hfteen leaves each, upon which the p

souri, have done likewise in THAR
state buildings.

HEARD NOTHING EXCEPT
DURANGO At CONVENTION

An amusing incident occurred at
he Real Estate convention, which but
Emphasizes the fact that Durango had
a great set of boosters One OF the
first things the delegation did when
they got there was TO put samples OF
the rubber plant in the windows Of
twenty of The largest stores in the
city, There was rubber plant in the
stores, in the depot, In ten hotels, in
the real estate Offices, and the Du.
range delegates all wore tags which
read From the rubber fields OF D,f
range" Mr.. Armstrong even tied
These tags on lot OF his friends, who
Wore them Just to please him. The
newspapers took up the cry and gave
Durango and the rubber plant prece.
dence over everything else. So IL
mattered not which way one turned
in Colorado Springs, they were con-
fronted by something to remind them
of Durango. This go, TO be a night

east OF Denver, got up and said. with
a tinge Of sarcasm:

NEW YORK LETTER

NEW YORk.-Governors Island is
10 have a military chapel, 10 cost APP
proximately $4,000 1t will be erect
ed al the expense of Trinity Corpora
ton and will occupy commanding
site overlooking Buttermilk Channel.
The United States government is now
increasing the area of the island, and
the erection of the chapel will be
along the line of other improvements.
The building will take the place of st.
Cni nelius' Chapel, a wooden struc-
ture erected in 1871. Trinity Corpor-
alton has since 1868 provided the
chaplain for the army post in the bay.
The clergymen have been nominated
by the rector and chosen by the gem
eral commanding. with the approval
OF the war department This is an
unusual arrangement, for at all other
army posts in the country the chap
lain is member of the regular army
and holds commission. The corpor.
'ation pays the salary of the Govern.
or's Island chaplain and the govern
ment provides a house for him.
One of the tallest buildings in the
world is to be erected on the site of
DIR. Parkhurst's Madison Suare Pres
byterian church by the Metropolitan
Lire Insurance company. The com
pany already owns the rest of the
block, and will raze the church as
soon as the new edifice on the oppo-
site corner of Madison avenue and
Twenty-fourtn street is finished. The
lofty tower will bear somewhat the
same relation To the Metropolitan
Lne building as the tower on the
Madison Square Garden to the Gar
den. Though the tower will not be
as high as the Washington monu-
ment, 555 feet, and perhaps not as
high as the tower on the Philadelphia
city hall, 537 feet, it will be taller
than the Statue of Liberty, some of
the loftiest cathedrals of the old world
and the pyramid of Cheops.
