THE MOBNTSd " TUESDAY. 26, Hi "THE WORLD IS "And HB evangelist Js to a regular mln- 1 ister or pastor Just what the spe- claltet Is to a regulacpbyslcian," said' George Robert .Cairns yesterday- And ss Mr. Cairns has been a" regular pastor and is now an evangelist he ought to lqaow. "For many days past he has been holding revival services In different churches In Portland, while for many years he has labored in the vineyard bringing souls to Christ." The reporter had -asked what the exact difference be tween an evangelist and a regular pastor might be, and Mr. Cairns continued: V srhs work of an evangelist is to. arouse enthusiasm in God's work. "When the aamBv"xnan preaches week after week to the aame congregation his words are apt to lose Interest. The evangelist stimu lates it, "Does Chrisltlanlty need to be stimu lated f' .Where Interest in It. flags, it does, erialhly," said Mr. Cairns. ,:'Do "other religions need to be stimu lated?" 'ChrjstianJty is making inroads on other rellgipns." fCWbat," asked the reporter, "do you Tpgard as the greatest sin in modern lifer -"Gambling," said Mr. Cairns. ".-"What Is the sin of gambling? Is it 'forbidden in the Bible?" ''Gambllnc Is stealing," said Mr. Cairns. f 'Don't ypu think so?" The reporter scarcely thought gambling was theft "'But It Is wrong, anyway," insisted Mr. . Cairns, and he enlarged upon the harm ful excitement It aroused. ' "It is a waste of time. You should see the" gamblers at Monte Carlo. They stay thera day and night, their, eyes start from - their sockets. They are exhausted phys Jcally And mentally by the unholy pur- jsuit." "Is the Christian church, taking It as a whole, making progress against gam bling, the saloon and prostitution?" "Steady progress," affirmed Mr. Cairns. "Js. there less gambling, more sentiment against saloons and less prostitution In America today than there was a hundred years agof "Decidedly less." "Or than' there was In the days of the Pilgrim Fathers, say. 300 years ago?" "No ".' said Mr. Cairns, "but they were the prey of other evils then. They used to burn witches alive." "The Bible says to put witches to death, doesn't it?" "But there were none in Massachusetts, Bald Mr. Cairns. "Is the light which the church has made on these three evils gradually eradicating them? Is the world better than It was When Christianity was . only 1000 years old?" "I don't expect that wo will ever see these evils overcome before the mlllenlum arrives. The world Is better than it was. Christianity is making it better." "A Japanese once told me," said the re porter, "that missionaries In Japan some times convinced an educated Japanese that his religion was absurd. But he said also that while the man would abandon ..the beliefs of his childhood ho would never accept those of the missionary, believing them to be equally legendary- Do you think this Is so?" ' "Very frequently It is," said Mr. Cairns. "But the missionaries are doing a great work in far-off lands." "If you were to give a dollar to missions, how would you like to see It divided be tween the home and foreign fields? Fifty cents to each?" ROUTE FOR EXTENSION ITS CHOICE DELAYS WORK ON COLUMBIA SOUTHERN. Money Is Ready, and When the Best Route Is Selected Construction Will Be Hurried. The people of Central Oregon are anxious ly awaiting for the first steps to be taken In the work of extending the Columbia Southorn from Shanlko to Bend. But the officials of the company state that as yet there is "nothing doing" In that line. While the finances for the enterprise have boon assured and there is no hitch on that score, there are other matters that make It necessary for the road to proceed slowly. The selection of a route is the cause of delay. The officials havchad two or three routes surveyed, and the task now is to select the route that will result In the greatest revenue from the road and at the same time offer the least difficul ties in construction and operation. As soon as the route is determined upon and the necessary rights-of-way arc secured, act ive construction will begin. It Is expected that this will take place in the Spring at a time when weather will permit of rapid progress. RUSH TO THE ST. LOUIS FAIR. Inquiries Indicate Railroads Wij! Have All They Can Carry. Judging from the Interest that is being manifested in tho coming SL Louis Fair and the Inquiries that are being made relative to transportation there and back, the railroad men ot this district expect to -handlo a record-breaking traffic during the coming season. The local ticket offices report that almost dally they are besieged with people asking about rates and ac commodations. Each and every one de clares that he Is surely going to attend. If all go who say they will, the railroads will have about all they can do to take caro of their patrons. A local passenger agent of one of the lines that expect to compete strongly for the traffic from the Northwest to the Fair, said yesterday: "The amount of Interest that Is being shown by the people of this country In the St. Louts Fair, Is marvel ous. Possibly It Is because of its close Mutton to the Fair that follows it In this city, but whatever may be the cause, every one seems anxious to go. Our office Is visited every day by numberless people asking about rates and accommodations. They say they are going and. If they do, I want to say that we are going to have a hard time handling them alL The traffic bids fair now to be such that all the roads will have as much business as they will care to attend to. "Traffic will, no doubt, be as heavy in this, direction the following year on ac count of the Lewis and Clark Fair, and the railroads will have two busy seasons." The special rates to the Fair at St Louis have not yet been announced by the roads, but it is understood that tho fare will In all probability be about J60 for the round trip. WILL MOVE WEST SIDE DEPOT Southern Pacific Finds Fourth and Stark Site Inadequate. Manager H. Koehler and Superintendent L. R. Fields, of the Southern Pacific, left yesterday on their regular monthly in spection of the road. They will be absent several days and will travel over ail the branches Included within their division. When Mr. Fields returns the matter of changing the uptown depot of the West SJde branch will bo taken up. The present place at Fourth and Stark has been found inadequate to meet the rlpmnnrfn nr. other more suitable and convenient place GROWING BETTER Christianity Is Making It So? Says CHICAGO EVANGELIST IN PORTLAND GEORGE ROBERT CAIRXS. "Perhaps the home missions should have the larger share." "Do you think men attend church as much as women, and If they don't, why not?" asked tne reporter. "Men are indifferent. They don't take as keen an interest in church affairs as do women," said Mr. Cairns. "On, Sun day they are very apt to seek amuse ment." "What do you think of the American Sabbath?" "There Is none," said Mr. Cairns. "No, I won't say that," he corrected. "In Phil adelphia and In many other cities Sunday Is well observed. But the spirit of the people leans toward the European Sab bath, which can be distinguished from other days only by the calendar." "Do you think the Lewis and Clark Fair should be kept open on Sunday?" "I do not," said Mr. Cairns. "Would It be wrong to leave the gates open or allow people to walk through the grounds?" must bo determined "upon. The matter has been left entirely to Mr. Fields. Rock Island Re-Elects Directors. NEW YORK, Jan. 25. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Rock Island Company of New Jersey, held in Jersey City, the outgoing directors wero re-elected. A motion to approve the act of the directors and executive committee was objected to by C. H. Yemer, of Bos ton, but was carried. CHINOOK NEEDS NO REPAIRS. But Dredge May Be Docked at Port land -Before Fall. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 23. (Special.)-! Captain Dunbar,"of tho Government dredge Chinook, says he has received no intimation that the department contemplates send ing the vessel to San Francisco for re pairs, as has been reported. In fact, said ho, tho dredge is not in need of repairs, as her machinery is in good order. There is a possibility, however, that the Chinook will be obliged to go on a drydock before next Fall to be painted and have her stern bearings tightened, as they are being worn by the sand. The new dock at Portland will be completed before that time and will be of sufficient capacity to accommodate the dredge. The Chinook is still engaged In deepening the shoals be low Smith's Point to afford better an chorage ground for. vessels. While work ing there she fouled an obstruction that Is supposed to be a ship's anchor and chain. Captain Dunbar has decided to drop both his anchors and by backing the dredge over the obstruction, endeavor to grapple and remove it The tides will not be right for the Chinook to work on the bar again before next Friday. Captain Eric Johnson, the bar pilot brought the steamship Indrasamha inside on Saturday afternoon over a breaking bar, and says his attention -was attracted to a comparatively smooth strip of water directly In line with where , the Chinook has been working. Captain Johnson be lieves that as a result of the dredging, the channel has been deepened quite per ceptibly. SOUNDING ON THE BAR. Engineers Begin Work on Govern ment Tug Mendel!. ASTORIA Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) The tug Mendell, with a party of United States Engineers on board, began taking soundings on the bar at the mouth of the river this afternoon for the purpose of ascertaining what if any, Improve ment In the depth of water In the chan nel had been mado by tho dredging done by the Chinook. Tho Mendell worked but a, short time today and it will take her several days to complete the survey. REPEATS HIS CHARGES. Engineer De Launay Again Says the Clallam Was Not Seaworthy. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 23. Chief En gineer Scott A. De Launay. of the lost steamer Clallam, gave evidence before the Coroner's inquest that the disaster to the steamer, which Involved such loss of life was due to the broken deadlight which had been broken at least three months. Had the rudder been In good condition. Captain Roberts would have been able to get the steamer around to the wind and the broken deadlight then brought Into such a position as it could have been blocked. But the rudder, the second that had been fitted to the steam er, was in such a notoriously bad condi tion that the luff tackle had been fixed to aid in bringing it round. The large stock of oak was split like a bunch of straw and when the helm was put hard over. It had little effect on the ruddec Tfie flag was so black that It could not Evangelist George Rotert Cairns "That would make other people work on Sunday." "Would that be wrong?" "The observance of Sunday," gald. Mr. Cairns, "Is as much a matter of expedi ency as of religion. It Is well for people to be compelled to rest once a week." Mr. Cairns, whose home Is In Chicago, has conducted meetings In 32 states of the Union, usually under the apsplces of the Baptist Church. He has made ten tours of the Old World. In Portland he has been lecturing at the Second Baptist Church and at the Y. M. C. A. He leaves In a few days for Montana. "Another thing about evangelists," said Mr. Cairns, as the reporter rose to leave, "Is that they can be well advertised. A pastor Is naturally diffident about ad vertising himself but he has ho hesitancy in advertising the coming or presence of an evangelist. This works up enthusiasm and Interest. Even Christianity Is bene flted by advertising.' be seen from deck whether the union was up or down. The chief engineer also gave evidence of Captain Roberts not having Informed the master of the Holyoke of the extremity of the Clallam and Qf how Captain Hall, of the tug Holyoke, had told the witness, after picking him up when the Clallam" sank, that ha4 he known of the condi-. tlon of the vessel, he coujd havo taken her Into the lee of Smith Island. Captain Roberts would not transfer his passen-r gers to the tug. He could have done so, but he wanted them to help save his steamer. "In ray opinion," said the chief engi neer, "had tho Clallam been Insured for J100.000, not a life would have been lost" Mabel Gale. Fined. ASTORIA Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) A fine of $500 was Imposed on the American schooner Mabel Gale today for failure to secure a renewal of her Inspection certi ficate before she left San Francisco. The! dereliction was reported by the officers of the revenue cutter Perry arid the fine was Imposed by Collector of Customs Robb. The schooner left up the river yesterday, so what action will be taken by her owners Is not known here, but it is expected they will take an appeal to the department In Washington to havo the fino mitigated.
