Woman Wrote
Prize Poem
Mrs. A. A. Lindsey, Under Nom de
Plume of John Malcolm Graham"
Wins 500 Offered for Best Ballad
on the Trail.

Portland, Ore, June S.--"John NAL
colin Graham winner of the prize OF
500 for the best ballad on the Trail.
offered by Mr.. |. n. Fleischner, chair
man OF the exploitation and publicity
committee for the Lewis and Clark
exposition, turns out to be a mi
Mrs. A. A. Lindsey. who for a year
past has resided in Portland. Mrs.
Lindsey is the wife of a former state
treasurer OF Washington. She is a
graduate of the Michigan university
at Ann Arbor.
The winning poem was mailed to
the publicity committee, signed John
Malcolm, general delivery" When
the judges announced their decision,
no, n knew who John Malcolm
Graham was, the name not appear-
ing in the Portland city directory.
Nearly four hundred writer's of verse
throughout the country, some of them
widely known, competed for the prize.
The judges stated that if there had
been a second prize it would have
been awarded to Robertus Love. the
Missouri poet, at L~esent residing in
Portland. His poem is entitled THE
Dream of the Star { Song of the Ore
gon TrailD," and it will be published
shortly in an eastern magazine. MI.
Love, by the way, is the man who
named the Trail, the suggestion being
made in a letter from him to Secre-
tary Reed of the exposition about
two years ago. The fitness Of the
no N "a %~c fbn "a ro,cox,Dr cxroo& 80 A.,
exposition lies in it's application to
the famous old Oregon trail, and "hit.
ting the trail" has become the fami-
liar slogan of the fair.
Mrs. Lindsley's poem is deemed
peculiarly fitting for the purpose, as
it brings out in strong. snappy Ian
guage the Tilt and swing of the rider
hitting the trail' to the westward,
shows forth the development brought
about by the pioneers, and gives due
honor to Lewis and Clark. The win
ming poem follows:
The Trail.
The call comes. strong and insistent,
Out of the west, Oh, bark!
Follow through hail and sun the
trail
Blazed bv'Lewis and Clark"
On with the blanket and saddle,
Ride like the devil possessed,
Swift on the way by night and day,
Hit the trail TO the west.
Sting of the wind in our faces,
Crunching of hoofs on sand
Whate'er betide. pause not, but ride
Straight to the promised land.
Wilderness of sails on the ocean,
Cleaning of gold in the hills,
Glory of grain on the harvest vain,
Curling of smoke from the mills.
Off with the saddle and blanket,
Kindle our hearthfires' spark
Here's all hail to the westward trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark.

Governor Magoon in a letter to Secretary Taft tells of the precau- tions taken about the administration building in Panama to reduce the danger of yellow fever tosthe minimum and adds:
 "A thorough system of inspection is in force and I think we will have no further trouble from the building although some of the non-immunes who work therein may contract the disease elsewhere"
 Major J. R. Kean of the surgeon gen. erals offlce has returned from the isthmus where he went in connection with the purchase of medical supplies for the canal zone Major Keqn ex- pressed confidence that when the sani- tary work projected by Colonel Gorgas had been concluded and the water wofks system has been put in opera tion, yellow fever will be stamped out and malaFiaI fever controlled,

NIchoIna to RojentvensIzy.

St. Petersburg, June 9.--(4:20 p. m) Emperor Nicholas has cabled the fol- lowing message to Admiral Rojestven- sky:
 Prom my heart I thank you and all the officers of the squadron who have honorably done their duty for your unselfish work for Russia and for me. By the will of the Almighty, suc- cess was not destined to crown your endeavors, but your boundless bravery will always be source of pride to the country.
 q wish you a speedy recovery. May God console you all.
 (Signed.) Nicholas"
 The peculiar wording of the nss- sage is attracting attention. The re- striction of the Emperor's thanks to those honorably doing their duty Is flaming the ugly talk regarding the surrender and the conduct of some of the crews. The messages of Admiral Enquist and Captain Chagin of the Rus sian cruiser Alma1 did not contain any

 to HauI Pnssengers.

I Seventy five hundred of the gooo
 people of Montgomery saw the rockets
 flash and the candles pop at Electro
 Park last night.
 Never in the history of the old Cap7
 ital City has such an immense gatn-
 ering of humanity patronizcd one
 place of amusement on one occasion.
 Perhaps there have been larger crowds
 at a great circus but then the country
 side lent it's aid freely. Last night
 only Montgomsry people rode to Eiec-
 tric Park.
 The fireworks were not extraordi- nary. There were beautiful rockets and fireworks in abundance and the sight across the water of the lake With fire reflected thereon was one of beau ty but there was nothing novel in the exhibition. Still 1t pleased and drew the crowd And the crowd was In re- aiity the attraction. The scene was almost cosmopolitan. There were people of every walk of life present. and by mtngling witn | each other they enjoyed themselves. The crowd would have probably passed the 10000 mark had 1t not been for the poor car service of the Mont gornery Street Railway. Lack of cars was evident. Even as late as s:sO o'clock cars flashed by squares within few blocks of the centre of the city and would-be passengers were left standing on the sidewalks. There was 1 no room on the cars. A favored few secured seats but the majority of the people reached the park by standing l partly on tho running boards and partly on imagination. Even after ohs was so fortunate as to secure a stand I ing place. the. cars dragged themselves along hardly able to climb hills that were far from steep. The cars were almost continually dark.
 | Many people attempted to take carl l at Court Square and on Commerce l Street. a few blocks from the depot in order to secure seats on the ride te | the park These people were com. | pelled to pay two fares.
 The service was so inadequate thai l until well after midnight people were | still being hauled in from the amuse- | meut resort.
 But the crowd enjoyed itself. And | the crowd was the story.
