Third, it will give wider dis

WHICH ALL HELPS
ADVERTISE OREGON

Few people realize the great
amount of publicity that the
Northwest received last year and
will receive this year on account
of the Washington State-Brown
University football game last
year and the University Of Ore
gon-U. of Pennsylvania football
game to be played at Pasadena,
Cal. as a special feature of the
2Sth annual Tournament of
Roses on coming New Years
Day. .' ''
Lovers Of sport and others in
all parts Of this country will read
of this game and Of the Univer-
sity of Oregon, conceded by
many to be the strongest foot
ball team ever turned out at
Eugene. 1t is without doubt the
greatest amateur sporting event
of the year for Western sport
fans.
Last year Washington State
College football team brought
fame to their Alma Mater and a
feeling of pride to the whole
Northwest by decisively defeat
ing the strong Brown University
team of Providence r. |. Should
the U. of Oregon Duplicate this
year by winning from the U. of
Penn. it will show without argu-
ment that the Pacific Northwest
schools are to be reconed with
when picking the champion
football team of the United
States.
In addition to the football
team representing the North
west at Pasadena New Years
Day, the Portland Hotel will be
represented by a very beautiful
float in the parade of the Tourn-
ament of Roses.

receive a box at the depot and
noticed that it came from a mail
order house. He also noticed
that the goods were right in his
line and the same as he had car
ried for years. He Immediately
approached the farmer and said.
Il could have sold you the

and saved you the freight"
Then why don't you do so?"
said the farmer. 81 have taken

A DARK AND ....
I STORMY EVENING

At the Albany Hotel there is
a combination of names ON the
register that looks worse than
the weather. ]. D. Winters, the
Studebaker repair man, of Port
land, heads the list. Further
down is R. e. Storm, of Portland,
another salesman. A. A. Hale.
another knight of the grip is on
the list and Joe Snow, also of
Portland, is frequent caller. In
an effort to offset this combina-
ton and thaw it out a bit, J. D.
summers, the local motor ex-
pressman, put his name on, but
the odds are against him and the
weather remains near the freez-
ing point.-Albany Democrat.

Dear Editor.
Having missed a copy of your
interesting edition, am prompt

We are located very comfort
ably here on the Coquille River

booming here, there has been
eight Ships in here since last
Thursday, bringing supplies and
loading lumber and matchwood.
We had a big storm the last few
days. 1t was kind enough to
throw in front of our house a
fine lot of white cedar for wood.
Wishing you and my many
friends luck, and hoping to see
your welcome paper next week,

Federal control of interstate

to be the most practical idea in

The only argument against it

fought the proposition, thus Of
fering the politicians a chance
to force it on them which would
have given merit to the move

Park Developments.

At yesterdays conference with Rep
resentative Page citizens of the Dis
trict and engineer officers of the army
urged the development of the local
parks. and covered broadly the whole
field of possible improvements to make
the reservations more accessible and
valuable to the public. There are many
ways in which the parks of the city can
be improved so as to increase their value
as recreation spaces. In the matter, for
instance. of transportation there is
decided need of facilities to bring the
people into closer relation with the
use and enjoyment. From time to time
this work has been urged, but without
avail. and Rock Creek Park. for example
is still far removed from the average
resident as regards accessibility. Engi-
neer Commissioner Kutz and Col. Harris,
the superintendent of public buildings
and grounds. yesterday urged that the
government should lay street car tracks
in Potomac and Rock Creek parks to
connect with the city car lines so as to
enable the people who have no vehicles
of their own to reach the more remote
sections.
Some action should be taken at this
session upon the connecting park"
project" to join Potomac and Rock
Creek parks. A report on this subject
has been lying for some time on the
Speakers table awaiting action, and has
only recently been referred to the ap-
preparations committee, and it is ex-
pected that it will be included in the
sundry civil bill. Postponement in this
case would mean loss, either ultimate
loss of park territory through the pro-
hibitive improvement of the lands con-
templated for condemnation or else
rise in the property values.
Parks are of little value to the com
munity unless they are developed and
easily reached, and it is gratifying to
see the evidences of full appreciation
of this fact by legislators and admins
traitors of park affairs.

The School Shakespeare Pageant.

For several days past a pageant COM
memorative of the centenary of Shake
speare's death has been given in Rock
Creek Park by the pupils of five high
schools, and has been greatly enjoyed
by large number of people. This en-
terprise reflects the utmost credit upon
all who have participated either in the
conception or execution of the pageant.
The "book," written by Miss Simons,
the director of English in the high
schools of this city, is an artistic work,
comprising some of the most attractive
of Shakespeares writings and offering
an opportunity to a large number of
participants In the setting and the
costuming, in the acting and the sing
ing. in fact, in every particular, this
pageant has been a gratifying evidence
of intelligent and thoughtful zeal on
the part of pupils and teachers.
The educational value of such a
pageant is difficult to estimate. Every
person taking part in an enterprise OF
this character receives a stimulus of in
terest in the work of Shakespeare, and
all who witness the spectacle must have
been mentally benefited as we'll as de-
lighted by, the pleasing pictures un-
folded before the eye in the park. The
time that has been taken in the prepa-
ration and rendering of this spectacle
has been we'll expended, and those in
charge of the pageant deserve congratu-
lations for the artistic success they have
achieved and the thanks of the COM
munity for the delightful entertainment
which has been afforded.

mocracy. Not all Of her leading men
may like Mr.. Wilson. Some Of them
have opposed some of his measures, and
may oppose others, but not one of
them will oppose him at st. Louis, OF
later. They will support him, and zee
that their states are in his train in No
vember.
The republicans must look, and are
looking, to the east, the middle states,
the northwest and the near and far
west. If votes enough can be gathered
to elect their man they must be found
there; and, of course, the delegates at
Chicago from those sections will be far
better judges of what should be done
to accomplish that end than delegates
from the south. A southern man for
candidate is, of course, out Of the ques-
ton; and equally so should be a south
ern chosen eastern, or western, or mid
die state man.
