10 THE MOUSING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1903. HAS NO SUCCESSOR General Charles F. Beebe Hands in Resignation. STATE REORGANIZATION BEGUN HcKulnr Officer, Who linn Inspected The A'atlonnl CSr.nrd In TMs Mute, 3IaUc it MoNt Complimen tary Report. The first step In the reorganization of the National Guard of the state, made necessary by the passage of the Dick bill In Congress, was taken on Saturday. when Urlgadler - General Charles F. Beebe's resignation as commander of the Oregon Brigade was accepted. He will have no (successor, and so the brigade Ktaff will be disbanded at once. The.sln- Ble regiment of the Guard In the state after this will consist of 12 companies. and the colonel commanding will be the ranking officer. It was not expected that the work or reorganization would be begun so prompt ly, but Adjutant-General Gantenbeln feels, with the other members of the Military Board, that the state should be quick to take advantage of the opportunities of fered under the new law. The general order announcing the acceptance of Cen tral Beebe's resignation pays a high com pliment to that officer, and is dated at Salem, January 31. It reads: First Tiie National bill to promote the eOT elency of the militia was approved by the Pres ident January 21. 1M3. It provides that the or ganization, armament and discipline of the or ganized militia rhall be the ume a that of the regular Army. In order to entitle the Oregon National Guard to the benefits of the act. It ! the Intention of the Commander-in-Chief to take Immediate sters to comply with Us re quirement. Second The present appropriation belnic In sufficient properly to maintain a brigade In this state, the resignation of Brigadier-General Charles F. Beebe, heretofore, tendered, if accepted, and he li honorably discharged from the Oreron National Guard. Having served more than seven years, he Is upon his own re quest, transferred to the National Guard Vet erans as of this date. In taking thli action the Commandcr-ln-Chlef desires to express ap preciation of the long, faithful and efficient military service rendered by this capable offl cer. Third The various brigade staff oIDcers will, without delay, deliver to the respective officers of the general staff all records, documents, official correspondence and other state or United? tales property, for which they are ac countable, exchanging Invoices and receipts therefor. Fourth Until further notice the Commander-in-Chief will perform the duties prescribed for the brigade commander. Reports and returns heretofore rendeed to or through brigade bead quarters will be forwarded direct to general headquarters. Adjutant-General Gantenbeln has also made public the official report of Lieutenant-Colonel C A. Williams, of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, the regular Army offi cer who was cent here to Inspect the Na tional Guard. He praises the organiza tion highly, and says Its equipment is in fine condlalon. He tells what good care the men take of their uniforms, and de scribes the tcntage as In excellent condi tion, and ample for all present purposes." Regarding the last encampment, which he attended, he says: During the four days of encampment drills were had dally In each of the' schools, com liany. battalion and regiment; guard mount ing and regimental parade, full form, dally. Brigade review (which Involves many move ments In drill) was had each evening, and was executed most creditably. Ercort to the colors was executed well, rroficlency generally good. Effects of not having had united work were, of Brlcndier-Gencral Charles F. Beebe, wlio has resigned from the Oregon National Guard. course, perceptible, but Improvement was no ticeable from day to day. Time was not suffi cient to reach field exercises. The personnel of the guard Is superior. Many of the officers were In the United States service in Spanish and Philippine Wars. Discipline. In the broad er sense of the term. Is good. The well-known but unavoidable social relations between offi cers and men render almost Impossible rigid observance of many petty forms of discipline exacted In the rerular service. The encampment ,was conducted with great credit to the brigade tommander. who was un string In his labors. The mobilization was ef fected, and the troops placed In a prompt, sys tematic manner, with no evidence .of contusion. All property Issued Is accounted for on returns made Quarterly, similar to those used In the United States Army. Officers receiving prop erty are placed under bonds, and the bondsmen made liable for any shortage not properly ac xunted for. The regulations In regard to property accountability are enforced. Colonel "Williams finds fault only once, and that Is In regard to target practice. Regarding this he says: "No systematic target practice. No state range. Gallery practice In Armory of Third Regiment, Portland. A short range at a few home stations. No practice In camp." In a note which Adjutant-General Gantenbeln odds to the report, he says that Colonel Williams was Influenced by published state reports more than two years old, and makes- this correction: Each organization In the state has a suitable outdoor ranse. The third regiment also has an tndcor gallery range for use In Inclement1) weatner. Target practice is required 'of every i urEBHixauoii, iuiu ncr company tailing lo qual ify as marksmen T5 per cent of Its entire num ber, unless, satisfactory reasons are shown for such, failure. Is considered so lacking In effi ciency as to warrant Its dlsbandmenL No tar get practice was conducted in camp, for the reoxoa that each organization has Its own range at Its home station. The next meeting of -he Military Board will be held at Salem during the first week in March.

Honeyman. whose deep personal Interest In the association has been of Inestimable value in making It the suc cs that It undoubtedly Is. said that she wanted the members fully to realize their duty bp a unit. "We arc an association," said Mrs. Honeyman, "and we have set out to ac complish a certain end. I think we have Juit made the beginning, but we should feci like Sir Isaac Newton, who, at the close of his long life, exclaimed when some one ;ipokc of all he had done. 'I am Just like c child playing with a few pebbles on the pashore. while the vast ocean lies undisturbed before me." "In January. 10C2, we had our attractive rooms, our busy luncheon hour, every thing looked new and bright. Today our rug3 and carpets arc worn and the var nish is rubbed eff the floors and furni ture, and we rejoice for they tell the story that our rooms have been well urred, and that our secretaries have been too busy to keep every place polished and spcckless. "Our constitution says that we have banded -ourselves together for the physi cal, moral and spiritual uplifting of young women. We have given them good food and a place to rest. Our claoes have grown more than enough to prove what could be done If we had a place large enough for our needs. Our Bible classes and Sunday afternoon classes aro slowly but steadily growing, nnd best of all, our roots are growing down Into the hearts and lives of our young women. "Ourdevotcd and efficient secretary. Miss McEIroy, has her guiding hand on it all. She It is who sends the deep spiritual thrill Into all our lives. The members are doing their part nobly, and crowd around Miss McEIroy, helping and being helped in turn. "I would like to thank alt our workers and three members who have worked so faithfully and well during the past year, for no president and secretary could have had better support than we have had." Miss McEIroy spoke In a most winning manner or her experiences as secretary, showing a deep and Intelligent sympathy with the lives and Interests of the work ing girls. "Some of the greatest financiers In the country are to be found among these Tort land girls," MIS3 McEIroy said. "How many men do you know, or do you know one man who can pay for his room, buy his dinners, clothe himself and pay his laundry bill out of a salary of CO A month? And there are hundreds of girls in this city who get no more than this. What can we do to help them? "A girl came here the other day and wanted to find a boarding place. She couldn't pay over tlS. and think of it. she was only getting $18. I wish you could have seen her, nice, honest, sweet ap pearing girl, and she has no place to board, and only J1S a-month. We ought to think raorer emphatically, to think of our Individual responsibility as members." MIsn McEIroy said a great need of the association was a building for Us Indi vidual use. The Y. W.

Gibson OLD CONVENTION'S RIGHT To Nominate a Snc'cessor to the Late Confrressman Tonsrne. TILLAMOOK. Jan7.-(To the Editor.) Although a member myself of the last convention thit was destined to ever hon or In llfo the lato lamented Thomas JI. Tongue, which fact creates It a some what delicate matter to fully Indorse the claim of Chairman Harrls-that the old convention Is the only premier body to now nominate Tongue's successor, yet I cletrly believe, for various substantial reasons, as I would consider them, that the former body of delegates should be granted this privilege. They say. to treat the objection first, that "new Issues have arisen since then," and also, "new candi dates." all of which sounds very nice: but these objections are only so much corclatlve matter. What have we, the members of the old oanvention. been do ing since lis adjournment? Is It to be supposed that we have all been into a Rip v in W Inkle sleep since that occasion, and have thus lalled to properly imbibe those "new Issues," whatever they ma be? And as to the "acw candidates," they are all "new," as far asf that Rose, burg convention is concerned. Thar wis probably the most quiet dis trict convention that was ever held in the state, every member of which seemed to bo there for substantially one nurooie. and that purpose was to renominate the able man whose loss this state will feel the e Tiext term at least, no mitter.who we nominate or elect In his stead. The na-ne of no other candidate was mentioned or considered on that occasion. Indeed, to have dono so would have been useless. Isow, how would a new convention treat the dozen or so of those "new candi dates" whose names wc see mentioned of late as Congressional aspirants In this district? It would select one of them, of course, and do him the honor of creating him their candidate. Now, wp would be pleased to know what else than this the "old convention" would do. or could do, and It would reconvene in a condition mutually healthier to the business In hand titan ould the ordinary advertised assemblies who are, as we all know, too often cut and dried In advance. Thus the old body would assemble cleirly "unfixed" for any candidate, end with a cultivated prejudice against none. Also, with new delegates ordered In this case, where the Issue Is a single official, and he a distant Congressman. Interest la the campaign would be wcik In many localities, the primary representatives would be poor, end in outlying precincts doubtless not a few would fall to con vene at alL This -sras not the case with the "old convention," by teason of the many other officers at Insue at that time; its fabric, whatever its composition Is based on as good a representation as the district ever gives. As stated -before, the Rosehurs: con- ! ventlon was destined to be tht last single body to do Thomas II. Tongue honor In this life; then is there not.a sentiment la the Claim nf Philman TTn,,l, V. n I alone is the proper authority to name his successor for the same term a sentiment beyond the cold 'calculation of material politics, an appeal vto permit the still further existence of the last polltlcil monument erected In honor of Thomas H. Tongue to exist further for a definite purpose In life, and in memoriam of the lamented dead? F. M. LAMB. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Lecturer Cnrol Norton Calls It Ap plied Christianity. SALEM, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) Carol Norton, a Christian Scientist worker of New York City, delivered a lecture on th subject "Christian Science Is Applied v-iirmuuniiy in tne Salem Grand .Opera House before a large audience this after noon. The speaker wns introriticpri hv Hon. W. II. Holmes, a prominent Salem attorney. Mr. Norton Is the best speaker the Christian Scientists have ever hed to present their views In this city. He Is an interesting talker, and presents his sub ject in an entertaining way that receives the careful attention of his audience to the lasu Christian Science was defined by the speaker ns a protest against materialism in religion, nnd a reproduction and res toration of the Christ standard. Chris tianity, asserted Mr. Norton. Is a scientific subject capable of being practically dem onstrated. rather than a religion based entirely on faith nnd hope. Reference was made to the marvelous curc3 that are being, accomplished through the agency" of Christian Science, and the lecturer claimed for this an evidence of the res toration In thli the 20th century to the undivided garment of Christianity as re corded in Matthew, Mark. Luke and John. A -true .understanding of health Includes a right knowledge of God, he said, and God Is as supreme In the physical realm as He Is In the moral, spiritual or mental. Deliverance 'from bodily Ills, said the speaker, through prayer must be as rea sonable In this age as it ever was. and If not so, then the physical Ills are In much worse condition than the sinner. The eakcr contended that the Christian re ligion Is as much n system for physical healing as for moral regeneration and spirituality. In concluding, the speaker stated that death Is a part of the mortal plan, and Is not of divine origin. Mr. Norton said In part: "Can the religion of Jesus Christ be termed an applied Science? Is Christian ity capable of rational demonstration' Christian Science, as discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy answera these questions in the affirmative. "Christianity, according to Christ, healed moral disease and depravity by the application of the curative prlnclplo of Good. The teachings, methods and life of Christ healed bodily disease, functional and organic, by the same method. The universal life of all that Is real Is God. Therefore, Nature in Its real sense is synonymous with God. and If a law of Nature cures," God Is the Healer. Herein abides the simple naturalness of the mis called miracles recorded In the Jfew Tes tament Herein again exists a glad mes sage to the humanity of this era. second only In Importance to the sin-healing mes sage of Christianity. AH life being ener getic or mental. It is resident In Mind. Therefore, a sick, disordered body should be brought under the healing operation of the lew of divine Creation and Mind, In the same sense that a watch needing re pairs would naturally be taken to Its maker, a Jeweler, rather than to a black smith. "Christianity as an applied science through the Introduction of the Golden Rule standard of conduct will democratize our whole social structure, reveal the rights of man, and give equal possibility of -advancement to both sexes. The pres ent epoch Is teeming .with evidences of the new Era of man's Just rights. On every hand are signs of the Golden Age of human co-operation. " The test of civilization Is the estimate of woman.' said George William Curtis. The civilization ot the 2Cth century is meeting this test, and Is not found want ing. Men and women ore bursting the bonds of traditional serfdom and rising to their native dignity and dominion as crea tures of Soul, not sense; of Spirit, not matter. "Christian Science is not an Invention, but a spiritual discovery. It is the recov ery of the primitive power of the, relig ion of Jesus. The Discoverer and Found er of Christian Science alone knows the spiritual cost of this recovery. The re appearance In human affairs of a lost art Invariably meets, not only with opposi tion, but ofttimes with temporary reject tlon. That which Is as old as the ever lasting hills, because for a while lost sight of. Is erroneously hailed as some thing new and revolutionary. "O, may that heartless offspring- of hu man selfishness Ingratitude not blot, as of old, the fair page of present Christian history- May wo all grasp, even If faint ly, humanity's debt to tho selfless, labor of tho woman and womanhood, to whoso tireless toll Is traceable' the rich blessings that are coming to a needy world through operative Christian Science. Woman's touch is ever chaste and gentle. Her spir itual message always ono of love. Her historic and present part In the great drama of llfo Is essentially that of service, ministry and soulful pure affection. How could a woman Scribe listening to the still, small volco of tho Most High, let her pen record any but a womanly Interpreta tion of the Mother-heart of God? From the uplands of practical, as well as In tuitional spiritual understanding. Mary Baker Eddy wrote Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures. The good that her life, teachings nnd books are ac complishing amply proves the scientific and Christian character of Christian Sci ence. Her life work Is spiritually heroic, and humanity is her debtor. Mrs. Eddy's place in history Is born of work already accomplished. Her spiritual viewpoint, authorship and righteous philanthropy settle tho nature of her leadership. The demonstration of her teachings prove their scientific basis." Mr. Norton Is a member of the board of lectureship of the First Church (Scientist), Boston, and resides n isew xorit uiiy. He is a cousin of Longfellow, and comes of ono of the best connected families of the New England States. Mr. Norton was a young business man. who. having lost his health, regained It through the agency of Christian Science, and has concluded to devote his time and services as a lecturer in the Interest of that organization.

CentrnI Place In the Business DIs trlct or the West Side- for n General .Bxchnnirc. Next Wednesday evening fruitgrowers in the district composed of RusscllvlUe and Tnn TnKni- nnrlh nnd SOUt'rf. Will, hold a meeting In the Russellville Schoolhoue. on the Base Line road, to organize a com bine. At a preliminary meeting held some time ago a committee composed of v. M. Gates; W. S. Lewis and W. w . iiowm wart nppolntcd to formulate a plan for or ganization aid this committee will re port In favor of a fruitgrowers' corpora tion with the nominal sum of EKX as cap ital stock, and oharcs'at U each, so that each grower In that dUtrict can hold one or more shares. The committee will further report that such corporation, when It shall haw been Dcrfected. chall proceed ; to secure a room nt tome point in Port I land, which shall constitute its central i market place where all the berries raised , by the combination shall be received for I disposal. These will be the Bcneral recom f mendatlons ot the committee, j W. K. Lewis, member of the committee. J, said yesterday: "We have mudled the sit- uatlon thoroughly, consulted with growers ail over mis ainci, ami nave cuuciuucu that to be effective we must form a com bination that will stick. The meeting we held Wednesday was the best attended of any that has been held for many months. Since then the committee hze been Inves tigating and concluded that the only thing was to Incorporate with a small working capital of say, about J200, at tl per share. This will give us something to start on. We shill probably work on lines some what similar to the Fruitgrowers' Associa tion ot Hood River, and handle berries on the 10 per cent barts to meet the bare ex penses of our house. The Hood River Association handled on S per cent, and as only 4 per cent was neces sary to meet current expenses) tho surplua was returned to the growers at the end of the season. We can do the same thing. Wc have been talking with fruitgrowers all around here, and they .expreffl themselves pleaded with the Idea of organization. Through such cor poration wo shall be In position to meet the requirements ot the cannerymen. Last year a great many pounds of strawberries und raspberrkfl were promised to the canneries, which were never delivered. Wc want a house of our own where we can deliver bcricn and there have them graded. Every grower Is bound to have first and second-class berries, which, by grading, will not hold the market down to the second-class. Furthermore, we ehall try to establish a house which will handle other farm produce on well as berries.

INVEST THE SCHOOL FUNDS Large Sams Lylnir Idle Which Might Be Earning Interest. JACKSONVILLE, Or.. Jan. 31. (To the Editor.) The Oregonian has rendered valuablN services to the oeonle of this state by relating the manner In which the school lands are managed. I now wish to say a word In relation to the management of the money derived from the sale of school lands. The report of the State Treasurer as published In The Oregonian, shows that on December 31. 1302there was cash In the treasury belonging to the Irreducible school fund amounting to $724,75. which was not producing any revenue ior tne.scnoois of this state. Section 2315 of the statutes ot Oregon provides tnat: All moneys belonging to the Irreducible school fund, university fund, or agricultural college fund shall be loaned at 0 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1. each year; Provided, however; that If at any time there be a surplus of either of these funds over and above all loans applied for the State Land Board, may. In Its discre tion. Invest such portion of said surplus as In their Judgment they may deem proper la bonds Issued by municipal corporations and school districts In the State of Oregon, the legality ot such bonds t to be aporoved by the Attorney- uenerai. Neither the report of the State Treasurer nor that of the State Land Board shows that any part of the largo amount of school fund lying idle in tho treasury has been Invested In any kind of bond the Interest on which has accrued to the schools ot this state. The law empowering the State Land Board to Invest this fund In bonds does not specify any rato of In terest these bonds should bear, which gave them great latitude for Investment, Yet we have no evidence that any part of the fund has been invested in bonds. It Is true that tho law gives the State Land Board discretionary power and they havo used their power to hold the money In the treasury. If the State Land Board had a keen desire to benefit the schools I of this state they would denoslt this money In bank on call for which a low rale of Interest would be paid. A large amount ot this money may be so depos ited. Yet the reports of the Treasurer and the board do not show that any Inter est has accrued to the school fund from such source. Until this idle money Is Invested at 6 per cent interest no more school lands of any character should be sold. We believe that it would be to the best Interests of the schools of this state If all lands be longing to tho common schools should be withdrawn from sale for the term of two years. Why should we continue to sell school land at a nominal price for the pur pose of accumulating Idle money In the cirs We perspire a .pint: a day without knowing it; ought to; if not, there's trouble ahead.

It .-mj?m . . above mentioned that there is now CEOO. 000 of the school fund loaned at 6 per cent interest, and there Is no doubt that If the sale of school land was susnended for two years the whole of the school fund would be earning 6 per cer.t-and the value of the school lands would Increase Section 3319 of the statutes of Oregon provides: "The board shall on the 1st r.S'. 0f usxist; each Jear- anl oftener If deemed advisable, divide the interest on hand arising from the irreducible school fund araons the several counties of this state." Section 3313 of the code provides that the Interest on the school fund Is navnhl. mi... .

It has been the rule of the board to use Its discretionary power and make but one apportionment annually. The Interest on this fund Is payable semi-annually and .here should be a 3emi-annual np- Is there any valid reason why this larso amount of interest should He ld!e in the treasury when it is needed by many. struErcllnr: school dlstrti-t! in - - - - ... aiiliCi In relation to the Interest arising from the school fund, we will stae that the law should compel the board to make a semi annual apportionment on the 1st day of Fobruarv anil thA 1st r!nv e a.., . . - ---- j w. ..ufeuai eacn year. It is the duty of the present Lcgis- laeure to saieguara tne school lands and the school fund as much as it posslbly can be done. To suspend the sale of school land for the term of two years would have a good effect In many ways and the schools would not be Injured. J. H. HUFFER, SR. Domestic and Foreltrn Ports. SXN FRANCISCO.

Back of the Cough There's more to a cough than the tickling sensation in the throat There's a cold behind that and a weak spot to be strengthened. Cough mixtures get as far as the tickling sensation in the throat that is where their work stops. They may re lieve the cough, but they do not cure the cold and cer tainly will not build-up the system. Their action is therefore merely local and of necessity very limited. Scott's Emulsfon does not stop at the throat It eases that too, but its mission is beyond ' that It not only cures the cough, but it cures the cold which is back, of the cough. It searches out the real cause of the trouble and corrects the wasting and weakening conditions. In its passage through the body it distributes strength to the worn out tissues, feeds the blood corpuscles and tones up the body. There is noth ing better than Scott's Emul sion to build up a run down system after a cold. We will jSaid a sample free to anyone on request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York. Breath Ceased During Fainting Spells. Revived by Artificial Respiration. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Wife. Fainting spells are a sure indication of a weak heart. The heart cannot do the worlc required of it and stops beating. If it ceases for more than a minute death ensues. Weak hearts must have aid from the outside, such as Dr. Miles' Heart Cure alone can give. It is a heart tonic It reflates the pulse, en riches the blcod and improves the circulation. "For two years my wife was in very poor health. At first her back troubled her a peat deal, then she had shortness of breath and irregularity of the periods. The pain in her baefc grew worse and extended to the connection of the spinal cord at the base of the brain and from there to her heart. She had two very bad sinking spells, when the pain in her heart was most intense and her breath stopped. The second time we had to resort to artificial respiration to revive her. We were advised to give Dr. Miles' Heart Cure a trial and I bought a bottle and began giving it as directed. We found the doses were too strong, so I gave her half-doses three times a day, and she began to improve. After she had taken two bottles the pains were all gone and she was feeling like a new woman. She continued the Heart Cure in small doses for several months and is now enjoying better health than for the past six years." M. J. Thompson, Dept. County Clerk, Klamath P.
