Cartoonist Returns to Oregon to Sho'

Portland. May 19.-After demon
strating to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned that an Oregon man raised on
an Oregon farm can succeed in al
most anything he tackles out in the
big world, Homer Davenport is COM
ing home to Portland again. Every
body who reads newspapers knows
Homer Davenport. His cartoons have
amused and interested and possibly
influenced us all. His cartoons of
men have made them famous, or in
famous in some cases, and some of
his drawings on questions Of national
import have had direct influence
upon their settlement or adjustment.
But while he is the worlds greatest
cartoonist today, only tritle more
than eighteen years ago he was a
farmer boy at Silverton, Ore, where
he secured his first art education by
drawing pictures on the old stable
door.
Strange as it may seem, Mr.. Daven.

teen eventful years since he has been
struggling for fame to make the great

ed animals in America. 1t was the
early influences of the farm, no doubt,
that gave him his passion for birds
and animals. He has searched the
four quarters of the globe for his col
lection, and now that he is coming
back he is bringing the birds and
animals with him.
Mr.. Davenport and his pets are to

giving great worlds fair he at once

suit is that he has several acres al
the exposition grounds where repro

being made. Here he will show to all
who come his truly remarkable collec

time during ten years and his spare
