PORTLAND NEWS LETTER

| fOrllanu, Ore., June 22, 1915
In competition with exhibits of sim
liar products from other states and
number of foreign countries, Ore
gon received the gold medal for gem
eral excellence of its horticultural
display at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco a few days
ago. This award was made strictly
on merit. The jury was composed
of II men, from the East, two
from Japan, two from California
and one from Holland. They made
careful detailed inspection of ev-
cry exhibit in the hall and without
hesitation awarded the medal to Ore
gon.
The display was installed by C.
N. Ravlin, head of the Oregon Horti-
cultural Society and himself sue
cessful rancher of the Hood River
Valley. In arranging the booth, he
made no attempt at ornamentation,
concentrating his efforts on so ar
ranging the almost faultless collec-
ton of fruits, vegetables and other
products that the attention of the
visitor would be instantly centered
on the display and not on its sur
rounttings. Oregon has right to
feel mighty proud of this victory.
Definite and accurate information
regarding the climate, resources,
products and advantages of Oregon
has been made available to all sec
tons of the United Stotes by the
presentation, by the Portland Cham
Der OF Consnerce, of copies of the
Oregon Almanac to more than $500
prominent public libraries. These
copies We're sent out within the past
few days and at least 500 acknow-
Judgements have already been re-
ceived. Copies of the Almanac have
also been sent TO tn traffic depart |
ment of all railroads and the result
ing correspondence indicates that |
they will hae a marked effect upon
the volume Of tourist travel in this
direction this year.

whether or not Commander Cowan

Hollis Muller did. Or let him try the

No less than eight lieutenants have
been killed at that San Diego school

cHILDREN's RIGHTS

clubs discuss what to do with the
child's idle" hours" forgetting that
the normal child never has an idle
hour. Ambitious parents crowd
books, games and occupations into
young lives which should be merely
empty and free.
Thus they rob the child of his ini-
tiative and originality.
The neglected child" often be-
comes the big man of his community
because he was not over-amused, and
not oVer-supervised as a baby. He

HOW THEY ELECT IN ASHTA-
BULA.-Looks as if Ashtabula, O.,
has slipped one over on some Of the
so-called progressive cities.
Ashtabula has just held an election,
which resulted in the choice Of a
council composed of members of
each political party in the proportion
Of their strength in the electorate.
Each voter marks his first, second,
third choice, ETC., on up to seven. Any
man who gets oRe-seyenth of the
votes is elected. In other words, if
one-seventh of the voters agree on a
candidate for alderman, he is elected,
regardless of ward boundaries.
Doesn't this beat the ward system
all hollow?
In this case only one man was
elected on first choice, so they count
ed the combined first and second
choices and elected couple more;
then the combined first, second and
third, and so on.
1t took all night and part of the
next morning to decide on all seven
councilmen-but this delay could be
ended by use of an adding machine.

The exhorter's remarks began to create
excitement. the white residents near
the church entered a vigorous protesi
at the police station. Patrolman PETE
Campbell was sent by Chief Ramsey,
to investigate. When he arrived ht
found a delegation of white citizens
headed by Tom Landers in front of the
church.
Elder Mosby was sent for and ask
ed to send out the eXhorter. When
he appeared, the policeman told him
of the complaints that had been made
and requested him to either moderate
his sermon or depart The shepherd
vigorously objected, threatening prose
