LITTLE BUT A MEMORY
FAMOUS 6ATTLEsHIP OREGON
HAS HAD ITS DAY.
Seventeen Years Ago She Was Prob
ably the Most Famous Vessel
Afloat-Now Is RELOCATED to
a Minor Position.

Seventeen years ago the name of
the oregon was on the lips of every
American. 1t had rounded the Horn
on a record-breaking voyage Of $4,000
miles and then won additional renown
In the battle of Santiago bay. The
Oregon was the pride Of Uncle Sam
the queen of the seas. For years, how
ever, 1t has been out Of date Officially
1t has been rated as a second-class yes
sell; by the more flippant as Junk.
Now the navy department has got rid
of 1t by presenting it to the state OF
California for use by its naval militia.
SO runs the world away-for battle
ships as well as for men, observes the
Sioux City Journal.
Who that recalls the war with Spain
VIII ever forget the Oregon? Foresee-
ing break with Spain, Washington
ordered it to sail from Mare Island
navy yard at San Francisco to Key
West. The long distance run proved
to be a most spectacular undertaking.
War was declared while the Oregon
was on its way, and fears for it's safe
ty were entertained until 1t hove in
sight, reports having been set afioat
that Spain had sent out feet to in
tercept it. The long trip was remark
able for the fact that the battleship
stopped nowhere except for coal and
was not delayed an hour by any break
down in its machinery. Capt Charles
Edgar Clark was in command, and his
name became almost as famous as
that Of the Oregon. He is one of the
few Of those who took leading roles
in the Spanish-American war who are
still alive.
Nor did the Oregon rest on it's
laurels after it had steamed into Key
West late in May, 1898 It had been
brought from the Pacific to the Allan
tic for business, and that business was
to fight. 1t proceeded at once to San
tiago and in the battle of July with
Admiral Cervera's feet was in the
thick of the trouble from the first to
last. To the Oregon belongs credit
for forcing the surrender Of the viz
caya and the Christobal Colon and
possibly for saving the Brooklyn, the
flagship of Commodore Schley.
Yet today this one time bulldog of
the navy is not considered Of enough
account in the national armament to
be kept in the serviceI So many
changes have come about in the max
ing Of battleships the once wonderful
Oregon is now fit subject for the
scrap heap. 1t was a great vessel in
it's day, and around it cluster hal
lowed memories, but more than that
cannot be said for it.
Let anyone who has a notion that
the United States navy has not been
growing in the last twenty years com.
pare list of the vessels which then
made up our defense at sea with a list
OF the vessels of 1915. Where then
the Iowa, the Indiana and others stood
proudly at the head of the procession
now they humbly fall in far behind the
Arizona, the Pennsylvania and others
Of later make and more generous pro-
portions. Yet the Arizonas day and
the Pennsylvania day also will come,
as has come that of the Oregon, and
as came that of the Monitor and that
OF Old Ironsides.

vertsd Into sanctuarles Where
Feathered Friends Of Human
Ity May Find Refuge.

1 More than Q million acres Of land
will be added to the bird reservations
In the United States II the National
Association q Audubon societies, with
headquarters In New York. succeeds
in its campaign to have all the ceme-
teries Of the country converted into
bird sanctuaries. The plan includes
not only the forty-eight burial grounds
Of New York city, but all cemeteries
down to the lonely graveyard of the
smallest hamlet.
While the average visitor to ceme-
teries Is frequently impressed with
the song Of BIRDS" said T. Gilbert
Pearson. secretary Of the association,
who has brought forward this plan,
"this 10 due rather to the usual quiet
and perhaps to the receptive mood Of
the person. The number of birds is
really small compared to what It
would be were but little effort made.
Much has been done to drive birds
away from cemeteries. Frequently,
there is not a yard of underbrush
where q thrasher or vireo can build
its nest. There are no pools or other
means for the birds to slake their
thirst. Tree surgery has closed the
cavities whence titmouse, wren or
bluebird formerly issued to console
the lonely visitor. Fruit-bearing trees
have been removed and there is an
absence Of berry-bearing shrubs, such
as birds enjoy"
The association, in addition to the
above needs. Is urging the exclusion
of gunners and cats from the ceme-
teries. the latter through the use Of
catproof fences. The placing Of bird
boxes In trees IL recommended. as
well as the construction Of fountains
or other drinking places for the birds.
Food In the way Of growing blackber-
ries, strawberries or mulberries is sug-
gested, while many cemeteries are
said to have ample waste space where
buckwheat and other small grain
could be planted without detracting
from the beauty Of the landscape The
supplying of food in other ways as
we'll as the provisions for nest-build-
ing are among other suggestions con-
tanned in circular Just issued by the
association which, Mr.. Pearson says,
he will mail to all persons interested
in having their city cemetery con-
verted into bird sanctuary In. In
dianapolis thousands OF birds find ref
uge in Grown Hill cemetery and birds

South in the fall spend the winter
there.

See themf"
Yes. Don't you remember q news
paper story few months ago to the
effect that deaf-mutes who attend NOV
ing picture shows complained that the
people on the screen did not follow
the text Of the play, but used coarse,
vulgar and often indecent and pro-
fame language? These deaf-mutes
had learned lip language and knew
what those photographed players were
saying.
We'll, since then, / hear the film

language, but the story caught the at

habitual movie patrons have fallen in
to the way Of watching the lip move

they can read the lips Of real people
just as well, hence my warning"
"Oh. can't believe there are many
such persons"
Don't take any chances. You'd
probably be surprised to know how
many people not deaf-mutes have that
little accomplishment more or less
developed. It seems with some to be
natural gift. / heard a woman tell
the other day of q conversation she

New Theory on Lefthandedness.

No attempt should be made to teach
naturally left-handed children to use
their right hands, according to P. B.
Ballard, inspector Of schools of Lon
don, as 1t is likely to make them STAN
merers. Mr.. Ballard supplies the fol-
lowing statistics: Out of one group of
,545 left-handed children 1 per cent of
pure left-handers stammered. against
43 per cent Of S99 being taught to use
the right hand. In another group of
2O7 the figures were AZ per cent and
21.S per cent respectively.
Six out Of ten left-handed children
who had been taught to use the right
hand were practically cured of STAN
meripg after being allowed to use the
left hand exclusively for Is months.
There were twice as many left-handed
boys as girls, and stammering was
twice as prevalent among boys.

to lower the disease and prevent COM
plications. The Medical Record notes
that a similar treatment has been used
in scarlet fever since 1896.

THE SPOILERS.

0TOIlGn0.
The new edition of THE Spoilers" in
twelve reels which is to open at the Lyric
theater next Sunday for a run Of one
week will be one Of the greatest features
the motion picture world of Minneapolis
has ever known.
Former productions Of this great drama
which showed only seven reels sank into
insignficance beside this new twelve reel
film, for this shows every scene complete
as originally taken while the story fol
lows the plot of Rex Beachs most famous
novel very closely Rex Beach wrote
"The Spoilers' with the idea Of reveal
ing the bad conditions which existed in
Alaska at the time and such was the
strength of the novel that the grafters,
big and little, VINO were preying upon
this rich territory were exposed and driv
EN- from the country. Following the novel
the drama and the photoplay drove home
to the hearts of Americans the story of
the wrong doings in the far north and
made this enc Of the greatest typical
American stories ever written.
When planning the production of this
most popular of all photodramas William
Selig cast about for the strongest men
and women he could secure for the lead
ing roles and before he had finished had
secured an all star company that has
since become famous William Farnum
was named for the leading role Of Glen
ister while Thomas Santschi, Selig
star, was given that of Mcnamara, tie
crooked attorney, whose influence was so
powerful at Washington. Santschi did
not like the idea of having Farnum play
a greater role than himself and the actual
enmity of the men contributed to making
the fight scene between them one OF the
most famous ever produced On screen
In this fight Glenister and Mcnamara
fight to finish with their hands and
after terrific struggle Glenister wins,
but only after he has broken his oppon-
ent's arm. Such was the ferceness OF
the struggle that Santschi was confined
to a hospital for two weeks, while Far
mum was bruised and bleeding after the
encounter.
Kathlyn Williams has her greatest role
as Cherry Malotte, the woman OF the
streets, whose trials and love for Glen
lister finally reveal the best that is in
her, while Bessie Eyton has the roe OF
Helen Chester, the girl with whom Glen
lister really is in love. the story is alb
sorbing from start to finish, one wonder
full scene follows another in rapid sue
cession, the interest is held up until the
very finish and the whole goes to make
the most popular and interesting drama
known to the modern screen
