14 THE MOBNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1903: tL PURVEYS IN OREGON Work Mapped Out for Topo graphic Parties. "lELD TO BE TAKEN AT ONCE Eastern Section of State TVill Be the Principal Scene of Operations International Boundary to Be Marked Finally. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May IS. The Geological Survey has completed the details of surveying that is to be done in Oregon and Wash ington the coming Summer, and is about ready to announce the official programme. It has been decided that one topographic party will be engaged In Oregon during the coming Summer, in mapping the country lying east, north and south of Union, including a portion of the "Wal lowa Valley. Thle party, consisting of eight or ten men. will be In charge of C. "W. Sutton, and will commence active work about the middle Of May. outfitting at Union. They will gather data upon which to draw the topographic map of the Union quadrangle, as the area will lie known. Something over 800 square miles will be covered by the surveying party, a portion of It extending Into the proposed Wallowa forest reserve, which has never been completely surveyed by the General Land Office. Some of the data collected by this party will be con sidered by the Secretary of the Interior in finally fixing the boundaries of this .forest reserve. Canyon City to Burns. A party of surveyors under C. F. Urquhart will enter the field Immediately south of Canyon City, and work south ward as far as Burns, traversing a con siderable portion of the proposed Blue Mountain forest reserve. Most of this country has been heretofore surveyed by the Interior Department, but never before by the Geological Survey. The work in this region will be purely trlangulatlon. forming the basis for more complete to pographic surveys next? year. After cross ing the mountains and reaching Burns, the party will turn westward, working j towards Prinevllle. and if sufficient time remains, triangulations will be extended southward towards the headwaters of the Deschutes River. The desirability of this region for irrigation purposes has at tracted the attention of the Geological Survey, and notwithstanding private In terests have gone In ahead, the Govern ment has not taken Its eye from the Deschutes Valley as a possible site for a future National irrigation system. All these surveys will prove valuable alike to the Government and to private irri gators. EiHtuhHshinpr Levels. For some time a party of surveyors under charge of C. H. Semper has been .working northward along the line of. the Southern Pacific Railroad, establishing the exact elevation above sea level of points about three miles apart. This party started at San Francisco Bay, at sea level, and has pushed northward until It Is now in the vicinity of Eugene. It is expected that Portland will be reached some time In June, where connection will be made with a similar system of levels that has been brought up from Astoria. The Geological Survey has had considerable difficulty In getting accurate levels from the Southern Pacific: not that the railroad surveys were inaccurate, but that the level of the road has been raised or lowered at so many points since their surveys were first made that it Is Impossible at this time to tell Juet what the level is. The present party is locat ing Iron posts at the points whose levels havo been accurately ascertained, and these marks will be preserved for use as the basis of future surveys. Hereafter, in working eastward from the railroad, even across the mountains, levels can be as certained from the marks now being es tablished. "Work in "Washington. Several parties are to operate in "Wash ington this Summer, one or two being al ready in the field. Most of this work is of the topographic character, although In one or two localities triangulations are to be made. L. C. Fletcher is in charge of a party that is completing the survey of Chapaca quadrangle. "When this work In done, he will commence the survey of the Okanogan quadrangle, which will In clude the seven townships on the Okan ogan River, recently withdrawn with a view to determining their adaptability for Irrigation. Mr. Fletcher will be as sisted by AV. c. Guerin and a small field party. Early In May. A, E. Martin, with a Tarty, including H. R. Ferriss as assist ant, "began the field work in the Oakes dale quadrangle in Eastern "Washington. This Is to be topographic survey work. A. H. Sylvester has entered upon the survey of the Mount Adams quadrangle, within the "Washington forest reserve! This area has never been carefully sur veyed, and but little is officially known of the character of the lands' In this vicinity, beyond general reports hereto fore made after mere reconnolsances. Mr. Sylvester will have "Rnlni. rnn-Mii his assistant, and will make North Yaki ma ms Dasc or supplies. R. B.

In this connection the survey party will also gather sufficient data upon which to base a topographic map of the region lying Just south of the boundary line, triangulations having been made heretofore. In making their preliminary examina tions a year ago. the surveying party found the original marks laid down by the boundary commission over 50 years ago. These marks were found to be accurately placed in most instances, but too far apart to prove of any consider able assistance, now that the country has developed. The old markings are 25 to j miles apart, and are valuable only in the Immediate vicinity. There is no difference of opinion between the Ameri can and Canadian surveyors engaged on this boundary survey. It is only a mat ter of accuracy In surveying, and with one side acting as a check upon the other, this is insured. Two surveying parties are to be sent to Alaska during the present month. One. under T. G. Gerdine, assisted by K. 3. Oliver, will make a tomographic survey ONE OF THE OLDEST LIVING OREGON PIONEERS FRANCIS ItEVEXLE, AGED 30, "WHO CAME IX 1S53. Francis Revenue, the venerable pioneer of Sandy, Clackamas County, Or., was born in New Orleans, La., on the 12th day of September, 1S13, and will therefore soon be 90 years of age. At an early age he learned the cooper's trade, and he also spent three years studying in the City of Paris, France. He married LIddy A. Lawrence, with whom he lived In peace and happiness until her death, which occurred at the family homestead near Sandy. March 11, 1900. Mr. Revenue crossed the plains to Oregon In the year 1S53, taking several months to perform the Jour ney. Upon arriving in Oregon. Mr. Revenue immediately took up a do nation land claim, upon which he has resided ever since. In those, pioneer days, the Indians were quite numerous, and the nearest neighbors were five or six miles distant. Shortly after his arrival in Clackamas County he went to work with energy to hew out a home in the then unbroken wilderness. The difficulties to be encountered In this herculean task was o very great that many would have given it up as hopeless. But Mr. Revenue persevered, and finally triumphed. Three years of his pioneer life was spent in merchandizing, and his kindness and generosity to the needy and distressed were proverbial. This nonogenarlan patriarch la very interesting, very Intelligent and very patriotic A constant and close observer for more than three-quarters of a century, it Is simply wonderful to think of the number of incidents and events, now passed Into history, of which he was, so to speak, an eye-witness; He never envied any person, no matter how distinguished his role, but. on the con trary, felt sympathy for those burdened with the cares of church or state, and was perfectly satisfied to act his own part that of an inde pendent farmer. His children now living arc John, Edward, Theodore and Lawrence, and Alice (Revenue) Wedle. Lucy (Revenue) Roberts and LI1 lie (Revenue)' Howard. Though Mr. Revenue will be 0 years of age on the 12th day of next September, he Is as active as ever. of the area between Tanana and the Yukon, westward, from the vicinity of Circle City, over a territory that has heretofore been triangulated. Another party, under D. C. "Wither- spoon and C E. Hill, will make a topo graphic survey of the eastern portion of the Nome peninsula. This work in Alaska is Intended to be used as the basis for subsequent geologic examinations of the regions triangulated and topograph ically mapped. OF EFFICIENT TYPE. RooKCvelt Directly Responsible for the Settlement of Great Ishuck. Collier's "Weekly. As the vigorous trial and prompt de cision in the Northern Securities case are undoubtedly due to the President, our attention Is again called to the kind of ment. Mr. Roosevelt has few resemblances to anv of the men who have preceded him In office. He belongs to the popular and efficient type, yet he is utterly unlike his leading predecessor In that type. Presi dent Jackcon was more original than Mr. Roosevelt, but the power of his nature was often used for evil, because he was willful and without docility. Mr. Roose velt has shown much ability to learn. It may be Mr. Hay, Mr. Knox or Mr. Root, who thinks out an Intellectual problem, but It Is Mr. Roosevelt who employs these men and largely makes their ideas effec tive. Anybody who remembers the tone of his observations on the Venezuelan affair of 1S95. and compares it with the moderate and tactful conduct of the re cent complication, will appreciate how Mr. Roosevelt has ripened. He Is no longer looked upon outside of Wall street and the headquarters of political bosses, as a danger. He has kept his energy and improved his Judgment. He may say one thing about the tariff or the trusts last year and another, thing today, but It only means that he Is going earnestly but cautiously along, under the beet ad vice, to execute right and extirpate wrong. Mr. McKInley had rare tact and so much ability to learn that he pro gressed In a few years from silver to gold, from relentless protection to an enlight ened view of protection, but he would hardly have had the force to do as much as Mr. Roosevelt has done toward capital. toward moor, toward Cuba. Mr. Cleve land is one of the largest and most hon orable figures in the story of our country since the war one who will be much praised by historians, but he had, with his courage and his bulldog patience, a lack of tact that limited his utility. He saved the currency and he raised the moral tone of politics, but he would have done more had he possessed Mr. Roose velt's adaptability, his readiness to yield little points in order to gain large ones, his unexpected but notable ability to take part in team play. It now looks as If, with six years ahead, the President would leave a remarkable record of good work accomplished. Ecipmn. Xo Care. So Pay.

MORMONS TALK BACK I THREE ELDERS 'AFTER THE SCALP OF PRESIDENT SMITH. Pny'Respects to Reorganized Church of Latter- Day Saints Deny Be lief In Polygamy. PORTLAND. May 8. (To the Editor.) In The Oregonian of April 17 an editorial appeared under the heading! "Polygamy not Orthodox Mormonlsm," giving a syn opsis of what was spoken of and done In a conference held In Kansas City, Mo., by the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. The hackneyed subject of polyg amy, which seems to be uppermost in the minds of the ministers of that society, was again brought forth. The sayings of Mr. Smith, president of the Reorganized Church, contained so many inaccuracies and misleading state ments that it becomes necessary to give some correct Information on this sub ject. Let It here be Impressed upon the mind of the reader, what may be said Is not offering in argument a plea for polyg' amy, but merely. stating the facts In rela tion to the Introduction In this dispensa tion by Joseph Smith, the prophet, seer and revelator. "Why Mr. Smith and his fol lowers should attempt to give the origin of plural marriage at this late date, when such marriages have not been solemnized for many years In the church founded by Joseph Smith, the prophet, is not ex plained. The purpose appears to be under the plea of absolving that religious leader from the charge of teaching ana pricticing plural mar riage, to brand with willful falsehood all his successors In the prophetic and presiding office, together "with a large nymber of men and women noted for truth anQ enuruy ami ol ummpeacxwuie cnur actcr, some of them still living, who hav given the most direct and solemn testl mony that Joseph Smith taught them the doctrine of plural marriage as contained In the revelation dated July 12. 1S13, and also practised what he taught. This num ber includes several highly respected wo men who have given evidence under oath that they were sealed to Joseph Smith as his wives for time and all eternity, and that they sustained this relation to him while he was living. There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of the officers and members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which was organized April 6, 1830, and has continued with an unbroken line of authority to the present date, having its present headquarters In Utah, that plural marriage was Introduced by Joseph Smith In rsauvoo. III. That the revelation herein mentioned was proclaimed by him to the prominent officers of the church and was written under his direction by "William Clayton, whoso testimony Is on record, as sworn to by him before John T. Caine. notary public in Salt Lake City February 1G. 1S74. He testified further that Joseph Smith married to him, for time and eternity, as a plunl -wife, Margaret Moon, April 27. 1S43 also that he, "William Clayton, officiating as an elder, married Lucy Walker as a plural wife to the prophet. Joseph Smith, May 1. 1843. This woman Is still living, and willing to re peat her evidence when necessary- Ampng the numerous affidavits re corded, certifying to the plural marriages solemnized by Joseph and Hyrum Smith sworn to by the parties themselves, are the affidavits of Joseph B. Noble, B. F. Johnson, Lorenzo Snow, "Wilford Wood ruff, S. A. "Woolley, Orson Pratt, L. LitUcfleld, Thomas Grover. J. C Kings bury. Erastus Snow. David Fullmer, Howard Coray, Edwin D. Woolley and others, whose character for honesty, veracity and general uprightness of life Is unspotted and beyond reproach. Amon; the women who have made similar affl davits are: Eliza R. Snow, Emily D. Young. Eliza M. Partridge Lyman, Me lissa Lott. Lovlna Walker, Mercy R. Thompson, Lucy W. Kimball. Sarah Ann "Whitney. Helen M. Kimball, Fanny Young, Rhoda RIcaarda and many others, be relied upon" without a doubt. There Is a woman still living in Salt Lake County who testifiea to R. C. Evans, who is at present counselor to the presi dent of the Reorganized Church, when he Isited Salt Lake City some montns ago that she was married In Nauvoo by Jo seph Smith to Hyrum Smith, as a plural ife. Her name at the time ot mar riage was Catherine Phillips, now known as Catherine Phillips Smith. This evi dence. In connection with the testimony already mentioned. Is doubtless well known to the president of the Reorgan ized Church. He and his brothers .have Isited Utih. and have met women who assured them that they were married to his father in the City of Nauvoo. But, to use his own language, he "prefers to believe the contrary." That Is to say. positive, definite testimony of living wit nesses to a given fact, corrooorateo oy rltten documents and lndisputame cir cumstances, are to be counted for noth ing in view of a preference to disbelief in their accuracy. It has been urged In contradiction to this evidence that some ot the women. hose names are here given, signed a statement to the effect that they had never been taught by Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith the "spiritual wife" doc trine, which was held and promulgated secretly by John C. Bennett ana otner persons, who afterward apostatized from the church. But when this is investi gated It will be found that the corrupt and licentious ideas entertained by Ben nett and his associates were as far re moved from the plunl marriage system set forth in the revelation of 1S13 as the slime In the gutter is from the glistening snow on the summits of our iotty moun tain peaks. The revelation on celestial marriage. In cluding the plurality of wives, given as explained July 12, 1S13, bears the impress throughout of the spirit ana language oi th other and earlier revelations given through Joseph Smith, as contained In the Book of Doctrine and covenants, it. bears no literary resemblance to the rev elation contained In the same volume given through President Brlgham Young. It has special reference to auairs in me family of Joseph Smith, which would be meaningless If concocted after ins de cease. It contains commandments to him personally and to his wife Emrai Smith. It also refers to the wives tnai nan al ready been sealed to Joseph Smith, in a manner that would be without sense, ex cept for its application to those individ uals during their lifetime. Mr. Smith and his followers make the bold assertion that there was no issue to any of these mar riages. That is a mere assumption, wnicn they are unable to prove, and which is immaterial anyhow. For the lack ot on sprlng can scarcely be viewed as dis proof of the marriage relation, or. what would be the social status of many esti mable coUple3 In this country? In, rejecting the revelation on piurai marriage. Mr. Smith and his followers will have to reject also the doctrine of marriage for eternity, which is an es sential part of the same communication, and which is one of the .most sublime and glorious principles ever made known to mortals. Under It. a man ana a wom an may be sealed together here as hus band and wife In the Lord, and sealed In heaven, not merely until death shall pari them, but through the countless ages oi eternity. In that are comprehended giory and exaltation and perpetual Increase, do minion and power In worlds without end. Plural marriage Is but a part oi tnai communication, and that It came from or through the prophet, Joseph Smith, dur ing the latest years or nis me. is aa certain as that the sun rises In the east and sets in the West. Mr. Smith, of the reorganized cnurcn. makes a quotation from tne wook oi Mormon that Is far astray from the point of contention- He cites a commandment given to the people who lived on this continent several nunarea years ociorc the Christian era. and which was declared for their sncclal guidance. They were limited to one wife each. The reason for thlR was. that they were too wicKea to bo permitted to enter into those sacred relations and covenants comprehended in the divine order of celestial or plural marriage. In referring to that ancient lnnimtion. which has no bearing upon the present age or the people of these times, Mr. Smith omitted an Important and essential nart of the case. The Book of Mormon declares that the Nepnltes ot mat eany age should have but one wife. But this clause follows, that commandment which was carefully omitted by Mr. Smith: "For If I will, salth the Lord or nosis. raise up a seed unto me, I will command my people, otherwise they shall hearken unto these things." xne quotation ol mat clause would have taken away the entire ground of his position. The command ment that the Ncphltes should have but one wife, was for that people and at that time, with the Intimation mat a tunncr and different commandment migni De given at another time and to another people, and that the law declared was but temporary. This is in harmony witn tne spirit ot the ononol. which is. that God will from time to time reveal his will to men. and that as fast as they fit ana prepare themselves to receive his word. It was the same in the days of the Saviour, who said to his disciples: "I have many things to cay unto you, but ye cannot Dear them now." Continuous and added revela tion is one of the fundamental doctrines of the church established by Joseph Smith, the prophet. Therefore tne notion that because plural marriage was not taught in the early years of the church It was not declared in later times is a fallacv. and contrary to the very oraer and porgress that are essential features of the gospel of our Redeemer. Mr. Smith also stated tnat pturai mar rtatrfi Is still authorized in Utah, which is a missrepresentation, pure and simple. 1 It Is not authorized by tne unurcn ot Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, nor under its auspices. The church, some years ago decided to submit to the law cf the iandr after a long contest In the courts, when It was finally settled by the Supreme Court of the United States. The church has abided by that since. All this is the truth, and It will some day be known. To Mr. Smith and his .followers and all other men and women who are desirous of misrepresenting the truth, and who are surrounded by the vice, the sin. the sorrow, the poverty and wretchedness we see on every hand. To those who preach about Intemperance, Immorality and Ir rellgion, we say: Don't wast your am munition on game in the mountain region between the Rockies on the east and the Cascade Mountains on. the west, when the woods all around you are full of it. Let It again be said that this Is not In tended as an argument in favor of plural marriages. That is not the question. Therefore arguments as to the right or wrong of plural marriages are needless. A dead issue need "not be exhumed. But the eternity of the marriage covenant by which a man and his wife may be sealed on earth to be one through all eternity, and shall be sealed in heaven, was taught by the prophet, Joseph Smith. Connected with this doctrine was the law of the holy priesthood, by which men holding it. under divine command, might receive more than one wife in that covenant, under given restrictions and regulations. Get Pearline is whose testimony can Mm This is established by evidence a3 perfect and complete as anything ever offered. In a conclusive case before a court, and Is accepted without the shadow of a doubt by the many thousands of Intelligent persons who compose the church which he founded under divine Inspiration, and which has never been disorganized or dis continued, but stands today as a monu ment to the genius and Inspiration of one of the greatest prophets who ever lived on the face of the earth.

The politicians suspected of participa tion in corrupt or other Illegal practices are pretty unanimous In laying the blame on the newspapers. They find that the publicity given to their acts Is at times exceedingly unpleasant. When they do anything that they think pralseworthy thcy arc careful that the news la "no tated arpund." but It Is quite otherwise when there is suspicion of Improper con duo. The newspapers are not faultless, but they are hold to a severe responsibility. It is only occasionally . that charges of corruption against public men originate with them. They simply give publicity to what others have discovered or believe they have discovered. It Is usually when this publicity become very damaging that complaint Is made of the newspapers, al though their columns arc generally open to Inculpated persons to make any de fense which they may have. But when they happen to have no defense at all they feel all the more Indignant against the papers that have made their doings known. The libel bill passed by the Pennsyl vania Legislature and now in the hands of Governor Pennypacker had its origin In the inconvenience experienced by the unscrupulous politicians of the state In consequence of newspaper exposures of their corrupt practices and. schemes to rob the people. There Is no doubt about this. The libel law of the state affords ample protection against false and de famatory publications. The boodlers wanted a law to protect them against the mental suffering produced by pub lications made In the Interests of the people. The freedom of the press is essential to the freedom of the people.' Abuse of this liberty Is amply provided .against, and Indeed nearly all of our libel laws give the advantage to the plaintiffs. The licentiousness of unprincipled pub lications is not defended by any repu table newspaper. But the press is prac tically united, and the people should be, against such attempts to muzzle the newspapers as that made In Pennsylvania. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Bnby In Cnttlns?

Neglect means the oncoming aggravated condition that will In time Involve the general con stitution. During our 21 years as specialists In men's diseases we have met with every possible com plication of private aliments. Our success In effecting permanent cures has never been approached. We have acquired the understanding and perfected the methods that en able us to accomplish results, such as have been regarded as Impossible. Weakness" Functional derangements, com monly termed "weakness," are a. direct result of inflammation, en largement of or excessive sensi tiveness of- the prostate gland, "brought on by early dissipation or resulting from some improperly treated contracted disorder. These conditions cannot possibly be re moved by internal medicines, and any tonic system of treatment that stimulates aqtlvity of the functions can but result In aggravation of the real ailment. This is a scientific truth that we have discovered, after careful study and observation in hundreds of cases, and Is a truth upon which our own original system of treat ment Is based. "We employ neither tonics, stimulants nor electric belts.. "We treat chiefly by local methods, and our success In curing even those cases where others have failed is conclusive evidence that our method affords the only possi ble means of a complete and radi cal cure. Contracted Disorders The importance of quickly curing contracted disorders i3 being more fully recognized among the medical profession. The tendency of these diseases Is gradually to extend backward. Involving in a chronic inflammation the most vital centers of the organic system. The serious results that may follow can scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolute, thorough cure in the least possible time. "Ve have treated, more cases of contracted disorders than any other physician or Institute In the Northwest. Our cures arc thorough, and are ac complished In less time than other forms of treatment require In pro ducing even doubtful results. "We employ remedies of our own devis ing, and our treatment Is equally , effective in both recent and chronic cases. Varicocele "We cure every case of varicocele we treat, and our treatment Is en tirely independent of surgery. Our method is our own. and It cures in every Instance. Others must oper ate because they have b?en unable to adopt our system successfully. Our treatment Is painless, harm less and prompt In curing. The patient need not be detained from his occupation a single day. Stricture In our treatment for this disease mild and harmless methods have again triumphed over surgery. "We cure without pain and without cut ting or dilating. The obstructive tissue is dissolved, and all affected membranes thoroughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state. Specific Blood Poison Others dose the system with min eral poisons scarcely less danger ous than the disease itself. The best they hope to do by this treat ment Is to keep the disease from manifesting" its presence upon the surface of the body. Under our treatment the entire system is cleansed. The last taint of virus Is destroyed. "We employ blood cleanslng remedies heretofore un known In the treatment of this dis ease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely destroying the poison In the system. Such cures cannot be otherwise than complete and permanent. PILES Quick Cures. Certain Cures.
