III the dense forest which borders the
Columbia river, stream that for
more than 200 miles serves as the
boundary between the States of Ore
gon and Washington. After being
shorn of their branches the picked
logs were placed in cradles to prevent
injury to the bark and dragged to
the river bank where they were made
into RATS and floated seventy-five
miles down the river to Portland
Speaking of the Importance of pre-
serving the bark it may be noted
that an argument in favor of the re-
moval of the big cabin to Washington
Is found in the fact that the National
Capital like the Pacific Northwest has
comparatively mild winters and in
consequence there need be little fear
that the bark would in a short time
peel from the logs.

IN AN unpretentious little home In

democratic of men, who, but for
the untoward turning of history,
would now be Il king instead of an
American citizen.
Colonel John Sobieski is the sixth
Iineai descendant, through the oldest
sons of oldest sons. of King John So
biesli of Poland, the hero who became
Christendom' champion when the Mo-
hammedan was at the gates of Vienna.
and, who, when all Europe, panic
stricken. refused aid, went forth Sep
TENDER u. 1888, with a little army of
5000 men and attacked and defeated
the Mohammedan host OF more than
ten times that number. The Sobieskis
have been the fighting leaders of Po-
land in all her bloody history. Colonel
Sobieski's great-grandfather. Count
John Sobiesixi. was elected king by the
unanimous choice of the mobiles who
took part in the uprising against Aus
tria, Prussia and Russia under Kos
ciusko in 1872. 1t was Ben Sobieski, an
uncle of Colonel John, who led the up
rising OF the university students OF
Warsaw in 1880 that grew into the revo-
luton that eliminated with a loss to
Poland Of more than g. coo soldiers kill
ed upon the field. 1900 patriots ex-
ecutcd and $1,000 sent into exile. Again
il was Count Sobiesli, Col. John So
bieski's father, who led the revolt of
1916 and died upon the scaffold for his
love of country.
Upon the death of his mother. hast
ened by her grief, young John Sobieski
came TO America. he served in the
United States Army in the civil war
and afterward with the patriots against
Macmillan in Mexico. Ever like his
ancestors, he has been a soldier, cherish

such surroundings and which would

In the construction of the Forestry
building there were utilized two miles
of logs each six feet in diameter;
eight miles of poles; 43, 600 fir shakes
and 10000 fir bark shingles Some
of the logs weigh as much as thirty
tens each and in lifting them into

Cost Thirty Thousand Dollars

The record-breaking log cabin is
more than 200 feet in length and over
100 feet in width; rises TO a height
of three stories and cost the State Of
Oregon more than 0,000 The build
ing is constructed almost entirely of
Oregon fr-that famous wood that is
lighter than pine yet stronger than
oak-but some spruce, hemlock, and
cedar also enter into the construc-
ton
In erecting the building primitive
methods were adhered to. The logs
were all framed together with old
fashioned tree nails Indeed the only
evidences of modern carpentry work
are TO be found in the sash and doors
and these have been covered with a
weather stain that gives them an ap-
pearance in keeping with the ponder
GUS rustic work The rough-hewn
doors of the building are hung on i'm
mense wrought iron hinges and old
fashioned locks and hasps are used.

fore the close of the year.
1t is not yet certain that the city

A portion of the public in the Ore
gon country favors Transforming the
building into a museum for the Ore

also d strong sentiment in favor ot
transferring the structure to Wash,

that the building would attract mucl

is supported by immense logs more
than fifty feet in length which extend
from the ground to the rafters on the

are connected with the ground floor

HIGGINS'S MESSAGE READ
THE LEGISLATURE OPENS.
GoUerpor Recommends an Honest
and Economical Administration.
tsY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE. }


Albany Jan. 4-CiCvernOr Higgins's first mes
sage to the State legislature read in both
houses at the opening session to-day As told
In The Tribune forecast two weeks ago. this
message makes no startling recommendation
for new OF unexpected legislation. but IN its
essence is a recommendation for hones nd
economical administration OF new iegis lion.
1t makes only two suggestions. both outlined
In The Tribune forecast: First. the repeal OF
the tax on savings banks surplus. and second.
the restoration OF local boards Of managers or
commissions having charge Of the internal af-
fairs Of the institutions for the insane. but in
no way disturbing the financial control and ad-
nninistration now existing.
In the matter OF State revenue the Governors
message does not go beyond statement or tna
existing conditions-the decreases in revenue
rorecasted by The Tribune. resulting from ad-
verse decisions IN the Court Of Appeals. and a
shrinkage in the receipts from the transfer tax
amounting In all to upward OF 100000. To
meet this the new Governor recommends vis-
orous practice OF economy and a limit OF w.
100000 for State expense. but he points out
that a crisis is at hand in financial affairs. and
leaves II TO the legislature to meet this by legis-
lation.
AS The Tribune predicted home rule PLAYS
no part in the message. and the general subject
OF canals calls forth no further recommendation
than that of nemorializing the national govern
| ment for larger appropriations for the oenehs
| Of New-York waterways. Governor Higgins also
recommends the abandonment Of a portion ee
/ +ha Black River Canal north OF Boonville-
| On the subject Of banks. the message makes
a number OF important recommendations IN iine
with those contained in the report OF Bank su-
| perintendent FIlburn. all In the nature OF re-
/ strictive measures. The whole subject OF cleo
ton law fs called to the attention OF the legts-
lature. with especial emphasis placed on fraud
| ulent naturalization and his recommendation
that a law be enacted regulating the issue OF
| duplicate papers.
AS a whole. the message is distinctly tbs
work OF the trained public official II shows no
| unusual or drastic suggestion: it contains notn-
| ing that would disturb the present prosperity. Z.
and it is stamped with the well known prudenes
| and careful conserve tism OF its author.
