SEATTLE DAY AT FAIR
WILL ALSO BE CHINA DAY

Hon. Coon Dip, consul general for
China, has decided with the Alaska
Yukon Pacific management that China
day be celebrated with Seattle day,
September 6, at the fair. The COM
bined celebrations, the promoters ex-
pect, will make the biggest show ever
attepmted in the Northwest and will
offer pslendid opportunity for COM
parison of ideas of public celebrations
from both an Oriental and an Ameri-
can standpoint.
The outlines as prepared by the Chi
ma day committee of arrangements pro-
vide for display of Oriental pageantry
with all the attendant blare and glitter
of tinsel, dragons, music and costumes
that can be assembled. This pageant
will be feature of the big street pa
rade already planned for Seattle day,
and after entry to the exposition
grounds will be continued in the audi
forum, the Chinese village and along
the streets of the fair.
All Chinese residents of the North
west will be notified of the Importance
of the occasion, and promises of liberal
support and assistance from influential
Chinese citizens of the entire Coast are
already indicated. The Chinese popu-
lation of the city and Immediate vicin-
ity will insure the attendance of many
thousand sons of the celestial empire,
and their well known ingenuity in
fashioning spectacular devices is suffi-
cient to guarantee really picturesque
demonstration.
The consul general for China at Port
land will be present. and with Consul
General Coon Dip, of this city, will be
among the speakers of the day.

CAVES IN OREGON
PRESERVED BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, July 31.-The presi-
dent has recently signed a proclamation
making a national monument of the
Oregon caves, or marble Balls, ,
which are located in Josephine county
southern division of the state. These
natural wonders are located in the Sis
kiyou national forest in Cave noun
tain, about thirty miles south of Grants
Pass. A description of he caves sent
out by he forest service is as follows ::
''The caves are in marble and other
limestones and consist of Vulnerable
caverns, corridors and passageways Of
various sizes, all decorated beyond
description in crystallized carbonates.
They have been explored to a distance
of two miles or more, the lowest of
them being at a depth of about 1000
feet below the summit of Cave noun
tain, the highest being some 700 or 800
feet above it. There are many pas
sageways and rooms which have never
been opened, and with these distant and
unexplored openings the magnitude of
the Oregon caves is practically un-
known.
Found By Bear Hunter
"These natural wonders we're dis
covered in 1874 by Elijah Davidson,
while bear hunting, and the greater
part of the exploration work was done
by F. M. Nickerson, of Kerby, Or,
in 1877, when four floors levles we're
partially opened. Many of the old
ladders used at that time are still in use.
"Cave mountain, the peak which
contains these caves, rises to an eleva-
tion of about 5000 feet and is of lime
stone formation. The main op" nings
around which the national monument
has been created are at an elevation
of 4, 900 feet, but the entire mountain
side for five or six miles shows cav
erns of various sizes and in all proba-
bility is honeycombed throughout it's
interior like the portion that has been
explored.
MANY small streams are found at
different elevations, and larger bodies
of running water can be heard in pits
that, so far as measured, are bottom
less. This running water probably &C
counts for currents of wind that in
some of the galleries blow so hard as
to extinguish an open light at once.
''The lime deposits take many beau
tiful forms-massive pillars, delicate
of alabaster whiteness, with
the crystal drop of water carrying it's
deposit Of lime from which
they are formed, and broad sheets re-
drapery with graceful curves
and waves that were certainly made
by varying currents of wind during
formation.
In past years visitors have broken
off and carried away many of the most
valuable specimens, and this destruc-
ton, as we'll as to retain these natural
wonders as public property, induced
the recommendation to place them in
a national monument.
The forest service has rebuilt and
improved the trails leading to the
caves from each side of the divide in
order to more easily protect the valu-
able forest surrounding and to make
the caves more accessible to tourists.
