that young graduate from the Cox

desk group that night. Ward gave him
g simple little story to write q head

The student suddenly inquired: Edo
you want an intrusive or an obtrusive

That was why he sought the soil

is It any wonder?
Herbert Corey is back again from
the trenches. He has been over In

began that 1t has become a habit and
he will return soon again. He hopes
to get back in time to see Irwin Cobb,

Like Cobb, Corey may also become a
lecturer. The lecture sharks have
been holding out some tempting bait
and the only trouble now Is getting
appropriate plaster castles for Coreys

ily under the strain OF thinking about
appearing before an audience.
Broadway raconterrs have always
been divided over who pulled that

Then the man, presumably a German

Mr.. Pinchot was decidedly pro-ally

Such termination Of. the war, he
said, would mean that the military

aside several ballots for the Judge of
the district to pass upon. This result
ed in giving Scow the office by one
vote.
Mr.. Clutches then appealed to the
supreme court on the question as to
whether the district court had juris-
diction, contending that special cleo
tion should have been called. The case
was argued before the supreme court
and yesterday the attorneys in the
case were advised that the decision is
a tie.
Two of the supreme court judges
decided that the lower court had jur-
isdiction; two of them decided that
the district court had no right to de-
eide the contest, but there should be
a special election. This is understood
to mean that the action of the dis
trict court remains unchanged and
that Scow is the winner by one vote.
The tie in the supreme court is due to
the recent death of Judge Brown.

"Mrs. Mary W. Petit who has been
a resident of Portland for the past
FL years, died of heart failure March
10, 1915 while visiting relatives at In
glewood, Cal. She was 72 years of
age. Mrs. Petit was born in Indiana
in 1S43. From there she went to Min

husband, /removed to Portland. In
June, 1913, Mr.. and Mrs. Petit cele-
brated their golden wedding and the
following October Mr.. Petit died. Mrs.
Petit left on pleasure trip to South

attractive, having a strong personal
ity that made her the friend of all
who knew her. By her recent friends
she was much beloved and her loss is
keenly felt by them and they deeply
mourn her death. She was married
about 1869 to Capt. Edward Oakford
who was rising young druggist here
and also a favorite in the younger set.
Two sons were born to them; the
youngest, William, dying when only
few years old; the other, Benjamin
Palmer Oakford, is a lawyer in San
Francisco. Besides this son the hus-
band, now in feeble health, is left to
mourn for her. After Mr.. Oakford's
health failed, Mrs. Oakford took the
sition of librarian in the Carnagie
library at Tulare, where they have
lived since leaving Sauk Centre. In
this work as in everything she under
took, she was very proficient. A great
soul has been called home and those
left alone can only bow to the ruling

Mrs. C. A. Barto received a letter
on Monday of this week from Benja-

of his mother at Tulare, Cal. She
died on March 9th, 1915, of pneumon-
ia. For two years Mrs. Oakford has
suffered from cataracts on her eyes
and in November, 1914, she went to a
hospital for an operation. She did not
gain in strength as hoped for, neither
was the operation as successful as her
family and physicians expected. Mrs.
Oakford was a patient and cheerful
that only her nurse knew how very
weak she was all through the months
that have followed her operation. She
instructed her nurse not to let her
loved ones know of her weak condi-
tion. Such was her physical weakness
that when pneumonia seized her she
was unable to resist the disease and
only lived week.

formidable antagonist for any foreign
ship likely to approach our coast with
hostile intent. In her day she rep
resented the modern battle cruiser.
In the early part Of 1858 she was
her stores aboard and a full compile
ment Of officers and mon. she steamed
away from New York city and started
seaward for a run of twenty-five hours
at eleven knots. This was for the pur-
pose OF determining her coal consump-
ton at that speed. Heavy weather
and some damage to her rigging forced
her to return to the Ice OF Sandy
Hook. but on the night OF February
IL she cleared Barnegat light and
headed southwark into the dark and
right in the teeth Of wintry sea.
AS Bennett tells US In his history of
the navy. Her great engines per-
formed beautifully, and at midnight
the ship had worked up to a speed OF
seventeen knots, then unprecedented
In steam navigation, and a source OF
surprise TO all on board. Throughout
the night and all the following day
this high speed was closely adhered
to, and when darkness again fell upon
the stormy waters the people on the
Wampanoag realized that they werc
participating in a remarkable event
and experiencing new sensation.
The engineers were delighted de-
spite fatigue and nerve tension Incl
dent to vigilant watching about the
ponderous engines. and went about
their second nights duties with the
zeal and elation OF victory, for this
was an engineers ship and the record
she was rolling up was one to make
every engineer proud OF his calling
and ambitious for the future OF steam
at sea which that record would make
possible. All that long winter night
the Wampanoag drove ahead, rolling
deeply in heavy. irregular sea and
keeping we'll up to her first established
speed, the light Of morning finding her
still rushing through the tall seas like
some huge sea creature instinct with
furious life"
The sun., 1915-06-27

For thirty-eisht hours the ship kept
steadily on her era making run from
Barnegat southwark, covering In that
interval a matter OF 728 statute miles,
467 Of which she had accomplished
during the first twenty-four hours Of
her effort. There was no sea going
commercial craft or steam driven man
O. war then extant with which . COM
par!son could properly be made. As
a swift ocean cruiser tho Wampanoag
was without q peer.
During his incumbency Of the once
OF engineer In chief. Rear-Admiral
sherwood strove in every way to pro-
mote the welfare and dignity OF his
corps. He was instrumental in bring
ing about certain legislative acts which
placed the force upon an appropriate
footing and gave to the steam depart
ment Of the service the standing which
II was entitled to.
To him also the nation was indebted
for the design of tho engines for the
double turreted monitor Miantonomoh,
which was sent sent to Europe in 1865
ostensibly on complimentary visit to
Russia In acknowledgment Of that
country's stand toward us during tho
civil war. II was this same ship, re-
modelled 30 far as her armor and ar
mament were concerned, that repre-
sented the climax of our naval
strength when tension was highest
during the Venezuelan difficulties in
the early '90s.
When the needs for the new navy
were first discussed In 1881. after the
service had fallen 20 a pitiably low
ebb, Chief Engineer Isherwood was
one OF the members OF the now his
torical Advisory Board. On October
6, 1884, he was retired from active SER
wire. Rear Admiral Isherwood's pro-
fessional accomplishments were nu-
merous, and one of his most notable
studies was that having to do with the
valve cutoff In the steam feed, by
which tho steam was left to do its
work expansively rather than under
tho full head. This contributed enor-
mously to economical propulsion.

T~HE recent death Of Rear Ad-
miral benjamin Franklin Ish-
erwood at the ripe age OF
nearly 90 closed the career Of
. remarkable man. He entered the
navy az IA time when steam propul-
sion was about in its infancy and at
the outbreak OF the civil war merit
had won for him tho chiefship of the
Bureau % Steam Engineering. II IS
safa 20 say that no other officer in
that post has ever been confronted
sioderly by as many exacting prob
!r-s
-aa- Admiral Isherwood was born
H. New York on October G. 1922, and
o. May 20, 1S44. he entered the navy
az first assistant engineer. His en-
g.roC-'ng experience before admission
n The navy was in the direction OF rail-
ro4'EE and this probably explains
II" fact why he had a setback shortly
after the completion OF his first year
IL me navy. II IL just as We'll 10
refer to this because It exempliiies how
merit will win out despite discourage
nent.
In lS45 Charles II. Haswell. also
Now Yorker, was engineer In chief
o' the service, and being n man Of
h!Gh technical training he was bent
upon rCorganizing accordingly the
corps of engineers As n result of an
examination, young sherwood and an
associate were reduced to second as
s!~tant engineers, and some OF tho
corps resigned rather than undergo
Tho test.
During the Mexican war Engineer
Sherwood was attached to the steamer
General Taylor and in that interval
learned much about professional prob
ieDs afloat. Indeed. his early setback
hDd apparently aroused the best in
him, for in October, 1s4s, while still
under Haswell. he was promoted 70
