Yukon-Pacific exposition will be
opened, complete in every detail.
Officers of the fair have made good
their promise of preparedness on open

has been a rush night and day to have
the exhibits in order. The finishing
touches were put on the grounds early
this week.
President Taft will use a telegraph
er's key, made from the first gold
taken from the Klondike, and set with
the identical nuggets taken out by the
discoverer of the Northern Eldorado,
August 16, 1896. The key has been
mounted on slab of Alaska marble,
and was presented to the President of
the United States by George w. Car
mack, discoverer of the Klondike gold
fields.
The opening program at the exposi-
tion grounds will begin at $3.50 o'clock
with parade of United States army
troops, mariners and sailors from the
Pacific cruiser fleet and from the jap
anese warships under Vice-Admiral
Ijichi. Col. 7. C. Woodbury., U. S.
A., acting commander of the Depart
ment of the Columbia, will be grand
marshal. His chief aide will be Cap
tain A. M. Weatherill, u. S. A., who
has been assigned to the exposition by
the war department. The marching
soldiers and sailors will be reviewed
by the American and Japanese ad-
mirals and the visiting governors at
the head of the court of honor.
The exercises at the natural amphi-
theater will begin at 10 :45 O'Clock,
with an overture by Innes' band. The
invocation will be offered by Bishop
Edward O'Dea, of Seattle. A short
address will be given by Director-G Gen
eral l. A. Nadeau, and the band will
play "Gloria Washington, the official
march of the exposition. James J..
Hill will deliver the opening address.
He will be followed by j. E. Chilberg,
president of the Exposition Bishop
E. W. Keator, of Olympia, will pro-
nounce the benediction.
The program at the amphitheater
will be timed to close at noon, at
which hour President Chilberg will
signal the president of the United
States that the fair is ready. There
will be an exchange of messages, after
which the signal will be given from
the White House which will start
whistles blowing in all parts of the
city.
Flags will be run up on all of the
buildings and the artillery companies
will fire national salute.

WHEAT PANIC CLOSED.
Patten Fixes Price at $l "a and Re-
fuses to Send it Higher,

Chicago, May 31.-May wheat
walked out of the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade today with head up,
firm step and not sign of wavering
anywhere-the second time in the
history of the board when "a wheat
corner was carried through successfully
to the final day of the option. The
only other successful deal was that in
September wheat conducted by B. P.
Hutchinson, more than 20 years ago,
when the price touched So.
Opening at $1.34, which was cent
higher than the close of yesterday, the
market remained steady during the
trading hours, finally closing at the
opening price. Mr.. Patterns brokers
stood ready all morning to sell to any
one who wanted to buy at the quoted
price, and they also stood ready to buy
from any who wanted to sell at that
price. 1t is estimated that the trading
in the option amounted to about 150,-
900 bushels.
1t is believed that Mr.. Patten has
about 5000, 900 bushels of cash wheat
on hand to disposh of. Experts say
that, owing to the recognized scarcity
of milling wheat, he will be able to
sell his possessions at prices ranging
from $1.25 to today's closing quota
tions. 1t is said that within the last
few days local millers have paid from
l to 2 cents above the May price to get
milling wheat.

Klamath Falls-Southern California
capital is to be interested in klamath
Falls if the transfer of the large tract
of land adjoining the city on the west

acres of land belonging to Moore Broth
ers. The option is for 80 days and in
wolves approximately $4,000. The
land involved lays in West klamath
Falls and reaches from Lake Ewauna
to the Upper Klamath lake. There is
water front of almost two miles.

Barred by Garlic on Breath.

Chicago, May 31.-A man has no
right to go to theater if his breath
reeks with the odor of garlic and the
management has right to exclude
him. This was the decision of NUM-
cipal Judge Heap today in the case of
James La Mantia against Susanna
Lange, proprietor of nickel theater.
La Mantia asked $500 damages. Tes-
timony showed that two other Italians
visited the theater few nights before
and were ordered out.

tion of the country. The company
holds options on several other places in
the same neighborhood.

Draw French Capital.

Paris, May 31.-Morgan, Harjes &
Co. have formed syndicate for intro
ducing the common shares of the
United States Steel corporation on the
Paris Bourse. The news has not yet
been made public here, but it is ex-
pected that it will create a sensation.
In financial circles the matter is re-
garded as of far-reaching influence.
For years American bnakers have been
knocking at the door of the Paris ex-
change in order to draw on the enor-
nous surplus represented by the saw
ings of the French investors.

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS MADE.
Geological Survey Furnishes Valuable
Lane County Data.

Lane County Data.
Salem-Advance sheets of a topo-
graphic map covering 1873, 900 acres of
the Willamette valley between Eugene
and Junction City have been received
in Salem. This area was surveyed dur
ing the summer of 1908 by the state
engineer in cooperation with the Unit
ed States geological survey. The fin
ished map, to be published for distribu-
tion, can be obtained for cents copy
by addressing the United States Geo
logical survey, Washington, D. C.
The map shows at glance the irri-
cation and drainage possibilities of this
section and will prove invaluable to the
commercial interests of Eugene. 1t
shows but one or two houses to the
square mile. By promoting and en-
couraging the practice of irrigation
and more intensive and diversified
farming, this map, it is believed,
should show from 80 to 60 houses to
the square mile.

horse owners of this vicinity it was
unanimously decided to hold a horse

different classes OF horses. John Hix,
president of the Dufur Horseman asso-

the farmers and business men.

CHAPTER X.-(Continued.)

Grenville had made up his mind that he
was powerless but still, all the same
Maude's letter must be answered. This,
again, was not so easy TO do. When the
girl you are in love with appeals to you
tearfully to save her from being married
to somebody else, the obvious course
would seem to be to run away with her
yourself. But, as George Eliot says,
Running away, especially when spoken
Of as 'absconding,' seems, at distance,
to offer a good modern substitute for the
right of sanctuary; but seen closely, 1t Is
often found inconvenient and scarcely
possible" So, though to emulate young
Lochinvar and bear off your fair Ellen
of Netherby may seem the proper thing
to do on the first blush of such occasion,
yet, on mature reflection, 1t may prove
hardly feasible. Mrs. Lochinvar must be
clothed and fed, while the reiving and
raiding by which that adventurous gallant
doubtless supported the lady of his love
would, in these days, be known by the pro-
sale term of robbery with violence" The
attention of Colonel Henderson and his
myrmidons, the grave consideration of his
countrymen, and an eloquent grafton,
rather to his disadvantage, by a criminal
court judge, would probably be the ter
mination of young Lochinvar's career in
these days.
What is he to write? What is he to
say? Can you not guess? OF course he
will sit down and do the very thing he
should not. He can't help, but he can
complicate her troubles. Love is essen
TALLY selfish passion. Having no con-
ISOLATION to offer her, no assistance to rem
der her, he betakes himself to his desk
and pours forth his story of love and la
mentation. He exhorts her not to marry
Pearman, but gives her no hint of how
she is to combat the difficulties that sur
round her. He pours forth, in good, hon
est, genuine terms, the tale of his love
he dwells on the certainty of his having
home ere long to offer her through his
own exertions, and winds up with tire
mendous peroration about having loved
her from her cradle. He has done moth
ing of the kind. His love is a child oi
something under twelvemonth's growth
and though l fear all lovers romance
fearfully, they thoroughly believe In theil
figments at the time. Then comes another
sheet of postscript about "can she love
him?" he shall know no rest till he gets
her answer. And after it Is all done
and posted, Grenville Rose feels more un
easy than ever. He is not thinking SC
much of poor Maudes troubles as What
will she say to his declaration of love
He racks his brain for every trace Of

tained pretty well the gist of Grenville'l
thoughts at present.

Condor Needs Rain Quickly.

Condon-Weather conditions for the
past month have been most unfavorable
in this locality. There has not been
any rain for over two months. Grain
is looking we'll and growing, some of it
beginning to herd out, although it is
only about foot in height. Farmers
who were interviewed say that if a
good rain comes within 10 days it will
be all right for the wheat. Others say
that they will not have more than half
a crop. A number of fields through the
country have been allowed to go to
weeds.

Gently destroyed by fire. The state
will rebuild the shops, replace the line

needed for general use. The exclusive
foundry machinery, which the stove
company tried to induce the state to
buy, will be purchased by the company.

Forest Grove Wants Railway.

Forest Grove-Trouble is being ex-
perienced in securing right of way be,
tween this city and Verboort for the
United Railways, and unless settlers
along the route agree to terms within
the next few days it is probable that
the line will not be built to this city.
The business men of Forest Grove are
doing all in their power to induce the
owners of property to sell the right of
way, as failure of the line to build to
this city would not only be great loss
to the town, but would also retard the
growth of the country adjacent.

Strikers Steal Dynamite.

New Orleans, May 31.-A dispatch
from Managua, Nicaragua, says the
strike over fruit shipments has grown

Spotted Crops in Morrow.

Heppner-Crops in Morrow county
are badly in need of rain. In most
sections grain is still looking we'll, and
a heavy rain within a reasonable time
would insure a good crop. However,
in the lone and Lexington sections and
the north end of the county, grain is
already badly burned and only a light
crop can be expected at the best.

klamath Falls-Recent rains give
assurance that there will be at least a

The rain was general throughout the

matter if this should be the last rain
