14 THE MORXiXG OREGON'IAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1005. 5 NTERESTING BAY Willamette Valley Association Assembles at Gladstone Park. THURSTON MAKES SPEECH Programme Includes a Lecture on "Abraham Lincoln" by Dr. Quayle and Other Notable Literary Features. GLADSTONE PARK. July 11. (Special.) Especially patriotic and Intensely inter esting were the exercises that marked the opening today of the 12th annual assem bly of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Aswclation at Gladstone Park. The at tendance is fully up to expectations, and Is increasing hourly with the arrival of more campers. The Chautauqua Assembly was formally convened at 10 o'clock this morning, when, after a selection by Parsons' orchestra. Professor Willis Chapman Hawley. of Sa lem, president of the association, delivered the address of "welcome, to which Rev. L. JS. Rockwell, of Portland, responded. Or ganization of classes and announcements by instructors concluded the morning pro gramme. Patriotism Ills Theme. "American Patriotism" was the subject of a grand patriotic lecture by ex-Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, delivered at the auditorium at 2 o'clock in the af ternoon. "Patriotism," said the speaker, "is one of the three ennobling elements in the human life love of God, love of family and love of country and has brought about the growth and develop ment of higher and nobler sentiments. God in his plan had in the fullness of his design provided the Western Hemisphere in which should be developed the highest civilization. Real patriotism consists of nacriflccs for one's country, which repre sents one's own protection, safety of coun try and security of family. It is a part of the love one cherishes for those near and dear to him. Patriotism is more than valor. It is the uplifting of sentiment that makes valor divine, and there is no pa triotism so sublime as that of woman, who sacrifices all to God and country." Senator Thurston then reviewed the progress and growth of the American peo ple from the time of the Revolutionary War to the present, saying: "We are now bounded on the east by the rising sun, on the south by American conscience, on the west by the Orient, and on the north by the aurora borealis." Tribute to Soldier. After paying a glorious tribute to the American soldier, the speaker expressed hLs belief In the hope that eventually swords will be sheathed and all questions of International difference will be adjust ed through the arbitration of statesmen and the wisdom of the Just. Not since Dewey's notable naval engagement at Manila anil never again "will another na tion be foolish enough to monkey with the American flag," asserted the Senator, who concluded with a beautiful tribute to the Stars and Stripes. "Washington." he said, "gave us the flag of independence. Lincoln gave us the flag of liberty, while McKinley left us the flag of man's human ity to man the Airs feared by tyrants, beloved of men. that floats tranquilly the unconquered flag of the grandest country in the world." Preceding the lecture, in addition to the orchestral music. Professor Everett Kemp gave as a reading James Whltcomb Ri ley's "Old Man Jim," and responded to an encore with a Swedish character sketch. In the Initial baseball game between the Stephens' Addition baseball nine, of Port land, and tlip Chcmawa Indians, the lat ter won by a score of 18 to 10. Lecture on Lincoln. Tonight Dr. William A.

WILL OIL LINNTON ROAD Tills Will 3Iake One of the Best Drives Out of Portland. Louis Russell, chairman of the road committee of the Automobile Club, and 6ol Blumauer, its president, ordered the oil that will be sprinkled upon the Linn ton road. As soon as the oil arrives from California, the work of sprinkling will be gin. It Is the intention of Mr. Russell to sprinkle Linnton road from the Expo sition grounds to Claremont Tavern. With the exception of a couple of miles just this side of the Claremont Tavern, the roadbed is in perfect shape and ready for the oil, and he expects that by the CHAUTAUQUA time the oil arrives the county will have repaired the road the entire dis tance. Mr. Russell and Mr. Blumauer will call upon the County Commissioners today and ask them to fix the roadbed at once.

Coroner Finlcy took charge of the remains, and has noti fied relatives. Halgarth was a rancher from Wallowa, Or., and came Jiere but a few days ago. The cause of his deed Is unknown. It Is thought perhaps he was slightly unbalanced mentally. Montana Girls at the Fair. Ten of the fairest daughters of Mon tana reached Portland yesterday morning for a stay of a week or two.

Williamson had told the wit ness where to go to find the land, and after ne had done this he nad gone to Biggs and filed, according to the arrangement by wnich Gesner was to furnisn the money for the fees. He had not proved up, for two reasons, one that Gesner" had told him tnat he could not let him have the mon.ey, and the other that he had read over the questions he would have to answer and had come to the conclusion he could not answer them Justly to himself. He. too, had seen Williamson In Gesner's office and had discussed the matter of relinquishment and had relinquished his claim upon the advice of Gesner. "Didn't Neuhausen tell you tnat when you got on the stand we would ask you if you had intended to sell the claims to Gesner, and for you to say that you had?" "No, sir." Judge Dennett grew sarcastic "Who asked you." he said, "to come into the office of Neuhausen?" "Sometimes it was Neuhausen and sometimes one of his clerk?." "Which clerk? Burns over there?" "Xo, sir." answered the witness, while the court looked amused and the audi ence tittered. "Now." continued Judge Bennett, "you have answered all of the leading questions of the District Attorney and have said yes, yes, yes; now. Is there any question that he could ask you that you wouldn't say yes?" "Yes." snapped the witness, "there are several." Christian Feuerhelm was an old German who had a hard time with the English language. He testified, however, that he had seen Gesner about taking up a claim for him, and had been told to go to Biggs, that It would be all right, and that the money would be furnished him. He had gone to Biggs, who had furnished the de scription of the lands, and had filed upon & claim. Gesner had told him that he would be given J500 for the claim when it was ready to selL He had been up before Neuhausen, the timber inspector, and had relinquished his claim after having had th! meeting with him. A letter was here Introduced by the de fense In the handwriting of Gesner ad vising the witness to relinquish his claim. stating that Moody and The Dalles land oiflce were "laying for him. and it would save trouble to let the chums lapse. This letter was admitted to be In the hand writing of Gesner by the defense, and was Introduced to apply against Gesner In the consideration by the Jury. In the afternoon Feuerhelm was cross examined by Judge Bennett, who ques tioned him about the trouble between tho sheep and cattlemen at the time of the filing made by the various witnesses. The old man could not remember that thcro had been any trouble In the neighborhood. Me was also asked If he had not been threatened with Indictment while before the grand jury and had been scared Into the testimony he gave. The witness stated tnat it took a good deal to scare him. "You were questioned before the grand jury by me. were you not?" asked Mr. Ileney. The witness stated that such was the case. "Did I over threaten you with indict ment r "No. sir. "When you save that letter to Neuhau sen which had been written to you by Gesner telling you to relinquish, you asked him not to clve Gesner any more trouble than was necessary, didn't you?" "I object to that quostion." began Judge Bennett. The court sustained the objection without argument. Henry Hudson n Merry Witness. Henry Hudson was a man of German and distinguished lincogi. bing a direct descendant of Hcndrlck Hudson, the ex plorer. He was also somewhat of a hu morist, and kept the court rapping for order, even though at the same a broad grin of amusement played over the judi cial countenance. Hudson testified that he had entered Into an agreement with Gesner and went Into details. ftr he had told Mr. Heney that he could remem- Dcr oeiier u lie were asked a few ques tions to neip mm along a oil Alter having told the story of how he took un his claim at tho susrsrestinn of Dr. Gesner. the witness was asked oy .Mr. Heney ir ne had intended to sell the claim to Gesner. and if the doctor had not been the first one to broacii the question of filing. "He asked you If you did not want to make a tiling, didn't her questioned Mr. Heney. "Yes, sir." "He agreed to furnish you the money?' "Yes, sir." "And then you intended to throw him .lown. after you got It, and not deed it to him?" "Well. now. I tell you. Mr. Heney, he threw me down sometimes. and I tnought I was going to mane out of it all I could, you know. Of course, the intention was all right enough in the first place that it nan to go to him, you know; but the way that I had my mind fixed up. I thought I was going to raise the price on him. and if he wouldn't give it I would sell it to somebody else. Tnat was In my mind. I don't know if it looks honest or not. but J hal it In my mind." On the cross-examination Judge Ben nett worked the old man up until he convulsed the court. The examiner was questioning the witness as to his agree ment. "He had agreed to buy, but you hud not agreed to sell?" he queried. ell, I leave that to the Judge and Jury to decide." "Well, that Is the way you under stood It." "Well, it was like this, you know. You must understand It right, Mr. Bennett. Tne aim was he was going to get that land for 3. but 1 didn't care a snap: he was going to make a big thing, and I thought I was going to make a big thing If 1 could." "Weren't you very much scared up there when you were subpenaed down here to go before the grand jury? Were you frightened at what Mr. Neu hausen had told you?" "No, I wasn't much frightened. It worried me a bit." "DM you got very much frightened at what he told you and go and make your will before you came down?" "No. sir." "Did you make your will before you came down?" "You bet your life I did. I didn't know but the railroad would wreck." "Oh. you were afraid of getting off the railroad track?" "Yes, I didn't know; I am a queer sort of a fellow, anyway." "Didn't you tell Watklns and Biggs while on the train that you did not think you would ever get back?" "Well. I suess I told them, but let me tell you, Mr. Bennett. I used to bo an old sailor, and I used to tnke a dram once in a while; now. I guess I was pretty well shot. You know. I didn't know but what Jlmmv Turk might shanghai me; Jimmy Turk used to he here in early days." "Did you In the same conversation say "hard things about Mr. Heney here?" '"So. I never gave Mr. Heney a hard name at all. because I didn't know him. I never saw him before until 1 saw him before the grand Jury, and he treated me like a gentleman." Two Women Testify. Mrs. Campbell Duncan and Mrs. Mary J. Beard were called by thovprosecutlon. and told practically the same story- They had been asked by their husbands to file upon timber lands at the request of cither Biggs or Gesner. and had done so, after wards relinquishing their claims. Jefferson D. Evans was the next wit ness, and he told of having listened to the rest of his neighbors talk about tim ber claims until he had come to the con clusion that he would take one for him self. He had done It for what there was In it. and had seen Gesner and made ar rangements to get the money of him. He had not made any contract with the men. however. "Have you seen Gesner and talked to him since you have been here?" asked Mr Heney. "Yes. I talked to him at Louis Minor's saloon on Friday night." "How long did you talk to him?" "About two hours." "Did you go over what it was you said to him and he said to you?" "No. sir." "You talked about the Fair. I suppose?" "I think the -Fair was mentioned." "Were you talking alone with Gesner while you were there?" "No. sir; not con fidentially." didn't you tell Green Beard that you would testify right for money?" The de fense objected to the question, and the objection was sustained unless the pros ecution could connect the defendants with the conversation. Mr. Heney could not do so. "Did you get a letter from Gesner about relinquishing your claim?" asked Mr. Heney The witness said he had. and that Gesner had told him afterwards not to I show the letter to Neuhausen wnen he came to Portland as a witness before the grand Jury. The Government Introduced the filing papers of the witness, which had been al tered, changing the claims filed upon. A letter was also Introduced from Biggs to the land office at The Dalles, asking that the change be made upon the authority and direction of the witness. "Did you authorize Biggs to change your entry?" was asked, and the witness stated that he had not done so. On the cross-examination by Judge Ben nett, the defense attempted to show that the witness might have made the change in the entry and have forgotten it. In support of this they introduced a note which the witness had given Gesner. and which he did not remember. Evans stated that he had not made a contract with Gesner. but had intended to sell the claim to the man who would give him the most for it, Mrs. Jane Evans, the wife of the pre ceding witness, was the next person on the stand. She testified as tho other two women had. that she had filed upon the land at the suggestion of her husband, and had relinquished when Evans had told her that Gesner advised such a course. Benjamin F. Jones was the last witness of the day. He had been a stockman, but had sold his holdings some three years before the time he had taken a claim for Gesner. He. too. had met Gesner. who had suggested that he take a claim. His story was the same as all the preceding ones. On the cross-examination. Judge Ben nett asked the witness about the contract concerning which he had testified. "Now. Isn't it a fact," he asked, "that you didn't make any contract with Ges ner, and that when you filed your affida vit you were swearing to the truth T' "No, sir. There was a contract, a verbal one. And I Intended to sell the land to Gesner." Denies He Killed Sheep. "Did you belong to any of the cattle men's associations?" "No. sir." "Did you attend any of their meetings?" "No. sir." "Did you take any part in the killing of sheep?" "No, sir. "Did you ever ee these letters?" asked Judge Bennett, producing two mysterious documents, upon which were printed wamlngv to the sheepmen in the vicinity of Williamson &. Gesner's range. "No. sir," answered the witness, with a great deal of heat. "If it will do you any good, I will swear to It." After Mr. Heney had drawn from the witness that it had been several years since he liad owned any stock, the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. SAME BASIS AS HUN HOW JOHX Z. WHITE WOULD REGULATE CORPORATIONS. Xo Franchise, ljut Merely License, He Advocates for Street-Cars and Gas Companies. "Place your street-car company and your gas company on the same basis as a hackman." This is one of the terse remarks made by John Z. White, a lecturer of the Henry George Association, who spoke at the Painters Hall under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic Club last night. What Mr. White contended for was licenses for corporations instead of grants and special privileges. What he said led up to municipal ownership, and a num ber of statistics were read showing the re duced cost to the people of city trans portation, gas. water and telephones where public ownership has been tried, especially in Scotland. Some Interesting railroad figures were also read. The history of corporations showed that originally nothing but licenses were al lowed, and these were controlled abso lutely by the sovereign power. It was not until In the famous Dartmouth Col lege case that John Marshall, who. Mr. White characterized as one of the worst men ever in public life In the United States, made the precedent that a cor poration could operate toward the public under a contract. The establishment of this Idea of contract Instead of license led to the perpetual corporation, said the speaker. As to railroads. Mr. White declared that when a road had cost $10,00) a mile to build, and was capitalized for $50,000 a mile, and the Supreme Court had ruled that a state could not depreciate the value of the property It was preventing reduc tion of the "watered" valuation. Mr. White said that President Roose velt would be vastly disappointed In his fight against greedy corporations. He said that such men as Rockefeller. Rogers. Yerkcs and C. P. Huntington had done their best work In the lobbies of Legislatures and City -Councils, where they had corrupted, so far as possible, every public official. This would lead, he said, to decadence of the mora forces, which had caused the downfall of Rome, "and moral decadence Is simply a failure of the crop of men." Tonight Mr. White will debate in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium with Arthur Morrow Lewis, a noted Socialist. LEAGUES MEET TRAINS City "Union Has Completed Arrange ments for Their Reception.

PARTS LINE TO TUG SAMSON Jetty Extension Demands Quantities of Rock Dally, and Towuoats Work Day and Night Deliv ering Loaded Barges. Old Pillar Rock, down the Columbia, got the Jolt of Its life yesterday morning, when a rock barge broke away from the tug Samson, which was temporarily stranded. and. sailing down stream, with the current, smashed full against the lone column rising above the water. The Samson was taking down two barges from Hale & Kern's quarry on the Upper Columbia. The towboat Hercules had turned them over to the seagoing tug nt night, and they wer,e on their way to the jetty at the mouth of the river. Dur ing the short season when the men can work to good advantage on the jetty, the towboats work night and day getting rock to the busy gangs. The Samson has made some exceptional seagoing records for rough weather, but mishaps are frequent. Especially when she has rock barges in tow. all other craft on the river give her a wide berth. , There was 1500 tons of rock on the barge which broke away when the other barge and the Samson grounded. It was a ter rific blow that struck Pillar Rock, but at last reports it was practically uninjured. The barge swung loose and drifted on down the river, but was soon picked up 6y the tug. which pulled herself and the sec ond barge oft the bar In a short time. PORTLAND SHIPPING FOR YEAR Custom-Housc Report Shows Tre mendous Business During Year. Exclusive of the tremendous coasting trade. SS vessels cleared for foreign porta from Portland last month, and the car goes they carried were worth 57.n9.021. The report of the Collector of Customs for the fiscal year ending June 31 has just been completed. From this amount, however, should be subtracted I15JM6, the value of bond shipments. An Idea of the value of goods entered from foreign ports at the Portland Custom-House may be obtained by noticing that J630.SS4.2S was collected as duty, prin cipally upon cargoes of matting, sulphur, rice, tea, curios and the thousand other articles which come from the Orient. While Portland Is still away up the list as a wheat-shipping port, the great amount of grain sent East by cars has decreased the totals of foreign shipping, as the grain exportatlons by water have always swelled the totals considerably. Following arc some statistics taken from the Collector's report: Vessel entered from foreign ports 60 Vessel! cleared for foreign ports IS Vessels entered from domestic ports 306 Vessels cleared for domestic ports 341 The receipts from all sources were: Duties on Imports $G30.SiM.2S Fines, penalties anil forfeitures.. 5f.rt.01 Miscellaneous customs receipts.... 3.331.R7 Storage labor and cartage S64.05 Offlclalfees 343.50 Total 5C33.701.3l Amount of refunds and drawbacks paid 7.770.44 During June, always one of the dull months of the year, one vessel entered from a foreign port. Six cleared, 49 en tered from domestic ports and 44 cleared, nearly all for Pacific Coast ports. The receipts for June were J62.467.S6. THISTLE SAILS UP THE COAST Brings Partial Cargo of Cement, Whisky, Paint and Baskets. Sixteen days out from San Francisco, the British bark Thistle, Captain England, arrived in the Columbia at .noon yester day, bringing a partial cargo from the United Kingdom. On board are 63CO bar rels of cement. 40 barrels of paint. 200 cases of Scotch whisky which really did come from Scotland. 300 tons of Swedish Iron, and 75 nests of basket?. At 3 o'clock this morning the Thistle Is to leave up in tow for Portland, and will probably reach Columbia dock No. 1 late In the afternoon. Captain England Is well known here. The Thistle will be the lat est addition to the small fleet of disen gaged vessels. To the same consignees Meyer. Wilson & Co. Is coming the Ger man bark Anna, from China. She is now out 53 days from Taku, and is making a much slower passage than the German bark Niobc. the last windjammer to come across the Pacific to Portland, whose time was 13 days. SMALL LAUNCH ON OCEAN Passenger on Lorens Tells of Voyage to Yaqulnu Bay. A remarkable voynge from the Co lumbia River to Yaquina Bay was made by the launch Lorens last Friday and Saturday. J. F. Flnlayson has re turned to Portland, after making1 the trip on the Pacific on the speedy little SO-foot launch. Not only did the launch, which a Xew days ago was running to the Oaks and cruisers, make the voyage without shipping scarcely any water, but 14 tons of freight were also taken along. On board were Cap tain Jones, Ed Carlson, of Astoria, en gineer: Fred lllvers and Mr. Flnlay son. Leaving Astoria early Friday morn ing, the Lorens passed over the Bar without difficulty. On the ocean a heavy swell was rolling', but the launch scudded alonff bravely. Friday night the launch put into Tillamook Bay for the night, continuing' next morning, and reaching- Newport by noon. Entering Yaqula Bay, the rollers tossed the Lor ens up and down like a chip. She is now employed in carrying fishing par ties outside the bay to a reef three miles at sea, where excellent sport Is found. Large Bark Gets Coasting Charter. Ysterday the North Pacific Lumber Company chartered the American bark Isaac Reed, KSS tons, to load for Re dondo. It Is very unusual to charter so large a vessel for the Coast lumber trade. The Reed is slightly larger than the Neumayer, tho last vessel laid on at a European port for the lone voyage to Portland. The same com pany yesterday chartered the barken tine Georgiana. S70 tons, to load lum ber to San Pedro. Marine Notes. The steamer F. A. Kilburn left down last night, bound for Coast ports, with 71 passengers for Coos Bay. Eureka and San Francisco, as well as over 5000 sacks of wheat and general cargo. This afternoon the bg freighter Sandhurst will move down stream through the four bridges, and moor to the Victoria dolphins, where the remainder of her cargo of over 3,000, 000 feet of lumber will be loaded.
