OBSERVANCE HAS CHANGED Old Settlers Recall Incidents That Depict the Holiday Joys of a More Strenuous and Loss Sumptuous Era. It taken the old settlers of Portland to tell what real fun and adventure Christmas-tide may afford the person who goes at it right. The sturdy pio neers who crossed the plains In the waning of the '40's or the dawn of the '50's rather regard our present-day methods of observing the great world holiday as an evidence of an era of sad degeneracy. The striving of peo ple to outdo one another in lavish gifts, in riotous extravagance and vain glorious display does not appeal to them. The pioneers were men and women of simple tastes and few desires then, and their tastes and desires have been changed only so far as the strides of civilization have forced the metamor phosis. With the prophet, they shake their heads and say: "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity," and, with Just a little soft impeachment of their primitive no tions, they will hark back In reminis cent mood and tell of the Chrlstmases of the good old times. There are many pioneers of Port land who still cherish with sure pleas ure thoughts of their earliest Yuletide days in the Northwest. One of these Is Rev. John Flinn, of 207 Halsey street, a retired circuit preacher, who delivered the second sermon in the first church ever built in Portland, in the Autumn of 1850. His sands are now running in the last decade of a cen tury, he being nearly 91 years of age, with his faculties still unimpaired, with wonderful memory of the years that have gone, with rugged health and with vigorous blood still coursing in his veins. That first Christmas., back in 1850 stands out in his memory like "Mars at Perihelion." Here is his story: Christmas 5 6 Years Ago. "Just' 56 years ago, the second day before Christmas, with two companions I started out from Portland for the 60 mlle walk to Salem. It was raining hard, and, by the way, the Oregon rain is the only thing in the Northwest that hasn't kept pace with civilization; it Is the same old wet rain now as then, but we wore long mackintoshes, and kept fairly dry picking our way through the forest trails and across tb,e prairies. We stayed over night at Oregon City, and next day reached the Pudding River at Aurora. At that time we were obliged to cross on foot, on a log Jam. Half way over I stepped on a three-cornered rail between two logs, and 'swlshl' down I went. It was one of the finest demon strations of the Baptist doctrine of complete immersion that I ever experi enced. I floundered about in the water for a time, but managed to crawl up on another log unassisted, and we con tinued the Journey. After tramping through the woods for about an hour we came to an old log cabin, and the wife of the woodman, with the true hospitality of those pioneer days, told me to go behind the screen which shut off the big four-poster bed in the cor ner, take off my wet clothes, don a suit of her husband's finest, while she dried my own drenched garments by the roaring fireplace. We were enter tained like Kings by this simple old German woman, and then proceeded. "The night found us at the little mis sion nine miles this side of Salem, and there we spent Christmas with a woman named Mrs. Breeds, and we had as, fine a dinner as I ever ate." Cyrus A. Reed, aged 81, now an artist living at 247 Fifth street, was also here when the towering tlrs and cedars stood where business blocks now rear their imposing heads. He was an argonaut in '49, was first superintendent of the Taylor-street Methodist Church, in 1850. and was Adjutant-General of Oregon during the Civil War. He came here from California In January, 1S50. and is the only man now living In . Portland who lived here at that time. Reed was married during the Summer of 1850 and lived with his bride in a small frame house at First and Jefferson. Last night he delved into the past, saying: i . Plain Life of the Pioneers. "I can't resist a feeling of sadness as I think of the plain, wholesome life in those days, and the strenuous existence of today. We didn't have many needs, and those we had we could supply com fortably. That first Christmas dinner in my own home will live In my memory till my days are numbered. My wife and I were extremely happy, though none of the luxuries was ours. Mrs. Reed prepared the dinner, with its fat roast chicken from our own yard, with soft creamy potatoes and vegetables from our own garden, with golden pumpkin pie, which she had made, and we sat down and ate it together. No one else there. That was Christmas enough for us. I shall never have another such. "At that time there were only 275 white men, women and children in Portland, and there were fully 1000 Indians, 500 of them camped at the foot of Jefferson street, near our home, and 500 more camped at Couch's Landing. They were very peaceable, and never gave us trou ble or worry. The religious element al ways predominated in the observance of Christmas, and there was little giv ing of presents." John McCraken, now past his 80th milestone, says that he cannot con jure up any particular epoch-making Christmas In his own experiences In Portland during the 66 years he has lived here, but he made up by .getting hopelessly, helplessly lost in the woods between Fourth and Sixth streets, on New Year's day, 1S55. Relating the experience, he said: "In those days we observed the an cient custom of 'New Year's calls' re ligiously, far more than we celebrated Christmas, and for several years we pio neers were in the habit of meeting at the home of the late Henry W. Corbett, In Sixth street, and we would then go the rounds. January 1, 1856, Dr. I. W. Davenport and I called on the Corbetts, and from there we headed for Dr. Wil son's on Fourth street. We struck off through the woods, getting our bearings as best we could in the darkness, and after proceeding a while the Doctor said to me: 'John, I think we're lost.' " 'Maybe we are, Doc' I replied with some misgivings. " 'I know we are," he returned, 'for I have passed this tree no less than four times." " 'What'll we do?" I added, not feeling sure of myself. " 'No moon, no stars, no nothing, was the Doctor's doleful reply. " 'Can you hear that owtT I ventured. " 'Yep, John, are you afraid? " 'Nope; Doc, but If you're any friend of mine you'll find a way out of here pretty soon,' was my contribution to this 'babes in the woods' dialogue. " 'John, let's holler.' " 'No use. nobody's fool enough to come out here and tow us to the clearing,' and we sat down on a log. Then we got up and walked some more and after a couple Of hours we broke into the open, but I am not going to tell where we were when we saw 'land ahead." " "Thereafter we stuck to the good old fir plank that was laid in the mud from the Sixth-street suburbs to the water front, and we followed platted streets zealously. "About the only Christmas presents ex changed in those days were some books and simple toys for the children. Blab orate remembrances are of later develop ment as an adjunct to Yuletide celebra tions." Celebrate Landing of Pilgrims. George L. Story, of 66 Twenty-Second street. North, is another of the early-day pioneers, but his reminiscences center about another holiday celebration Just before Christmas. Mr. Story is of sturdy New England stock and to him the anni versaries of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, December 22, 1620 are possessed of hallowed tradition. He said last night: "The people of the South, and there were many such In Portland in those days, were more perfunctory about the Christmas observance than we of the North, but I remember how a number of us old-timers got together in Decem ber, 1S53 and planned a big celebration of the anniversary of the landing of our Pilgrim Fathers. We celebrated the oc casion here in Portland, and it was the most elaborate festival ever given in the Northwest up to that time and for many years after. Some of the committee sub scribed 50 each to the fund and I think the banquet cost us something like $1500 to 2000, and I tell you we were all proud of the affair and the success which at tended It, though there were only several hundred people In Portland at that time." George H. Himes, assistant secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, will to morrow recall the good old time exactly two score years ago when he consented to share his name, fame and fortune with Miss Anna F. Riggs. the' then reigning belle of Salem. Mr. Himes declares that that was the merriest Christmas of the many Joyful ones he has spent. Married on Christmas Day. Mr. Himes and Miss Riggs were wed at 8 o'clock in the evening of Christmas day, 1866. Rev. O. Dickinson, a Congre gational minister, had been secured to say a few words on the occasion. There was great Joy in the neighborhood over the event, and the tables in the Riggs' mansion almost broke down under the weight of good things prepared for the wedding feast. "In spite of the fact that I was young and nervous, I ate so much that night that I have hardly recovered yet," said Mr. Himes last night "My wife's mother was a sweet, kindly, old fashioned New. England woman who could cook better than any high-class French chef. She prepared a dinner that day which simply was a prize winner. When I started in at the feast. I was a trifle fiustrated, but as the meal continued, this nervous ness wore off and I did full Justice to everything in eight. That, sir, was a Christmas that I shall never forget. "The first Christmas I ever spent in Portland was in 1864. I was then a printer in the employ of The Oregonian. This city was a village then, and so we printers worked all day In order to make up for some of the money we had spent for presents. That evening, I had a dinner at the home of some friends, but the day was not spent In such a way as to cause me to remember the details." W. 3. Powell, bailiff of department No. 1 of the Circuit ' Court, . saw a Christmas in Portland as long ago as 1852. Having read long tales about fighting Indians and grizzly bears, he left his 'Ohio home while still in his teens and came to Portland to have a hand in the fun. But when Christmas morning came young Powell wanted to go back home for turkey. At that time Portland was a town of about 830 souls. All of the stores faced Front street, while stumps lined Third street and Portland Heights was a dense wilderness, filled with wolves and an occasional cougar. Mr. Powell does not remember a great deal about this first Oregon Christmas other than that he ate dinner with a young wo man friend and spent the evening tell ing stories about "thfngs back East." Prepare to Fight Indians. But there is one Christmas of pio neer days that the bailiff does remem ber, and that was the Santa Claus time of 1865. Mr. Powell was then captain of Company D, First Oregon Infantry, and was stationed at Fort Walla Walla, preparing to quiet the warlike Indians of Idaho and Eastern Oregon and Washington. He had 9i hardy young pioneers in his company, all of them sharpshooters and all eager to get sight of the redskins. The day was chiefly spent in drilling and get tin? things in readiness for the march. But a big dinner of pork and beans, duck and goose was served at the gar rison, and the captain ate so much that he had to be sent to the hospital the next morning for a rest. A Christmas on a coolie ship under neath the hot Bay of Bengal sun Is an experience that befalls few of the marines who visit Portland harbor. Alfred Brannan, chief officer on the Brltisn steamer Franklyn, was captain of the English ship Bann on December 25, 1902. On that holiday the wind jammer, for it is sailing ships that are used to carry coolies from India to the islands of the Carrlbean Sea, had that experience. Seven hundred and fifty dark skinned men, women and children formed the cargo of the Bann on that occasion, and Mr. Brannan declares that he never knew the Bay of Bengal weather to be as hot as it was that day. Of course the coolie natives of India knew nothing of Christmas, and had never heard of Santa Claus. Still, Captain Brannan resolved to show them there was a holiday on tap. Right after eight bells were struck in the morning, the skipper ordered all of the children aft and gave each of them a handful of sugar, three tarts, an extra drink of water and several missionary tracts. Then he explained to them, in pigeon English, the mean ing of the day and wished the whole tribe a merry Chrl3tmas. To the adults he gave double the usual amount of rice and curry given them, along with extra water and tracts. These tracts had been given to Captain Brannan by some mission aries, who had instructed him to pre sent them to the coolies upon their ar rival In the West Indies. But the skip per .was afraid that rats might get into the papers on the passage and as he did not wish to deprive the natives of this reading matter, handed it over to them in honor of the holiday. An extra-sized plum duff, together with Yorkshire pudding, tarts, fruits and other extras were given the mem bers of the crew, while the officers of the ship had a great feast in the after cabin. When the - evening shadows cooled things off a bit, a sing-song was held on the poop and the coolies sat around the hatch and listened until long into tho night to songs of "Bonnie Annie Laurie" and of "Coming Thro' the Rye." Each white man aboard the vessel gave a present to his shipmates, the captain receiving a photograph of the mate's sweetheart, a new shirt from one of the sailors, a Bible from the cook and a score of other presents. The Bible has accompanied Mr. Brannan .ever sine tkeA day,- HULL MAY LOSE SEATTLE TEAM Fans Doubt His Ability to Fi nance the Siwash Base ball Franchise. WILL DUGDALE STEP IN? Opinion General That Old-Time Fa vorite. Will Back Pnget Sound f Nine In Case Russ Hall Falls to Maintain Leadership. BY WIMy Q. MAC RAB. Will Russ Hall be able to gather financial .backing for his team next season is the question asked not only if he did finally get the Seattle fran chise. No one fought the Pacific Coast League harder than Dug, and right today there is no magnate who stands higher in the esteem of the Coast League magnates than does D. E. Dug dale. A great many of the fans will regret that his telegram asking for the Seat tle franchise did not reach the Los Angeles meeting. TO EXPLAIN PLATS TO CROWD Expert With a Megaphone to Follow Contesting Teams In Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 23. (Special.) Every play made in the big Christmas day game between the Multnomah Club and the Seattle Athletic Club will be ex plained to the crowd at the grounds by an expert on the side lines. Secretary Will Inglis, of the Seattle Athletic Club, is going to try the megaphone announcer, something that is new In Seattle, but which has been a success- elsewhere. A football expert Is to follow the two teams along the side lines, being down on top of tpe'play all the time. After each play the man with the megaphone will call a description of the team's work to the people in the stands. Even a football fan misses some of the fine points when the teams are working on a distant part of the field and mass plays are attempted. The novice cannot even understand everything about an open game, and the Athletic Club's man ager believes that the explanations bawled through a megaphone will give I The New Year's Oregonian for 1907 I iWill be published Tuesday, January 1 next. It will contain full and accurate information of Portland's wonderful building activity for 1906. It wall show the types of the many modern buildings that have been erected in Portland during the past year. It will contain most valuable information of horticul ture in Oregon, and also of numerous extensive irri gation projects now under way in this state. Thou sands of copies of the forthcoming annual number of The Oregonian will be sent to people in the East. Or ders for extra copies should be sent to The Oregonian at once.

Address THE OREGONIAN, Portland, Oregon. by Seattle fans, but by those along the entire Coast Leag'ue circuit. Hall has no easy task cut out for himself, for, in addition to getting the kale to run his team, he must get new grounds and build a grandstand. This is no easy work, and it would not be sur prising at all to learn sometime shortly after the first of the year that Hall had fallen down. Should Hall fail to get money to back his team, there is a man ready to Jump into the breach. D. E. Dugdale is more than, likely to be the Moses who will lead the Seattle baseball fans out of the wilderness. The fat chlck-en-ralser hasn't been before the base ball public since he was double-crossed by the fellow who came near putting the game on the blink in Portland. After trying to manage the Portland , team, Dugdale went Into retirement and hasslnce been busy chasing chick ens up hill to make them lay. He has made money. Who could help It with eggs 40 cents a dozen? Some of the nearwlse have figured that the fat magnate, because he could not handle the rum-dum bunch that Ben C. Ely had signed up a couple of seasons ago, was a wuzzer in the national pastime. Dugdale has tried hard to keep this impression alive, but all the time he has had his ear to the ground and waiting for the call of fandom. When Jim Agnew and the rest of the Seattle moguls became stricken with chilled pedal extremities. President Bert wasn't worried looking for a man. The Coast League leader knew the fat boy wasn't far off. and he knew that he would answer the call if it was sounded. President Bert and Dug smiled over a steaming yellow legged chicken, and while there wasn't much baseball talk during the repast, there was Just enough to assure President Bert that if the crash came. Dug would be the boy on the burning deck. Dugdale, Submitted Application, After the season closed and things began to look squally, Dugdale was ap proached upon the proposition of tak ing over the Seattle franchise, so Dame Rumor had it. Dug was willing to shy his coin Into the game once more, but he refused to come to the front while there was a chance for Russ Hall to get backing. Dug , has tried the two-man end of the baseball game, and has found out that it's a lemon. To those who were anxious for Dugdale to get back into baseball harness and Join the Coasters as a manager and owner, he promised that he would make an application for the Seattle franchise at the annual meeting. Daniel E. did this, but, thanks to the telegraph company, Dug's telegram making application for the franchise was never received. Had this telegram been received at the meeting of the Coast League mag nates, there is no doubt that the fran chise would have bene awarded to Dugdale. Jim Agnew was on hand at Los Angeles to draw down that $1500 bonus that had been in the league treasury since Seattle Joined the Coast ers. From good authority it has since been learned that the Coast League moguls waited for word from Dugdale, and when his application for the fran chise did not show up. It was given to Russ Hall. Hall didn't have the $1500 to put up at the time, and he was given until January 1 to get the coin to gether. Hall says that he has a deal on for grounds and that he can sign up the lease at any time. He also says that he has'been promised finan cial backing, but refuses to give out who his angels are until all of the papers have been signed. Seattle Fans Divided. Seattle has been the one city in the league where the fans have been divid ed. Dugdale has always been a prime favorite in Seattle. Many of the Sound City fans quit going to baseball alto gether because Dug quit the game. Park Wilson was manager of the out law team, and if there hadn't been a mint of money behind the team, Dug dale would have been in the game yet, and the Coasters would not have been playing in Portland and Seattle now. Seattle would have none of Wilson, and had he remained there for an age he never would hav been popular. Hall had things easier than Wilson, yet he could never be the favorite with the fans that Dugdale was. The fact of thfe matter is, Dugdale is a mixer, and Lii Should be a good thing for the game the public something they have been wanting. The game is to be played on the uni versity campus which is a comparatively dry field. Madison Park has poor street car service, and the grounds are so low that the rains quickly convert them into a field of mud and water. There Is more stand room at Madison Park than at the university, but the Athletic Club has picked the campus. SEATTLE BOYS TRAINING HARD High-School Team Is to Play Chi cago Boys New Year's Day. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 23. (Special.) The Seattle High School football team, which is to play the North Division School from Chicago New Year's day, IS putting In a hard course of practice for the biggest game a Northwestern school has ever had. The team is assisted, too, by a small army of coaches and prac tically every man who has a hand In shaping up the Seattle eleven is an ex pert in his line. No Eastern college ever prepared for a football season with more expert ad vice than the high school lads have been given. Gordon B. Frost. Dartmouth tackle of 1902 and coach in his senior year, is in charge of the team and he has with him Place, who coached the University of Washington, and who used to be a strong lineman himself; Cutts, who helped out at Harvard this year; Owsley, who helped beat the Yale team Into form during the past season; and Barry, the old Brown halfback whom Walter Camp once picked for the all Amerlcan team. Each division of the high school is being drilled by a separate coach. SIG SICHEL & CO., 92 THIRD And Our New Shop, Corner Third and Washington. HART MAY INTO HIES 01 CAMP Senator From Baker Holds Conference With Washing ton County Candidate. LATTER FEELS CONFIDENT Magnificently pipes. Must be carved seen. meerschaum Booth's Support Is Still in Doubt, ' While Whealdon of Wasco Keeps Wise Ones Guessing by Strange Tactics. That Haines' 12 pledged votes for President of the Oregon Senate are likely to have the addition of Senator Hart, of Baker County, was a subject for discus sion yesterday in political circles, stimu lated by almost simultaneous arrival in the city of Hart and Haines and a meet ing of the two last night. Senator Wright, of Yamhill, one of Haines' prin cipal supporters, was also in the city and left for home on the afternoon train. Hart is one of the two Senators who may be said to have held off thus far, from both Haines and Hodson, the other being Malarkey, of Multnomah. The last time Hart was iri Portland, he Is said to have been persuaded by the Hodson men that Haines did not have the support of those who have since announced them selves for him, among them. Smith, of Marlon; Miller, of Marlon-Linn; Mc Donald, of Union; Laycock, of Grant; and Cole, of Umatilla. Consequently Hart did not make terms with either Hod son or Haines, and put back home, be lieving that the contest would not reach an Issue until the meeting of the Legis lature, January 14. or Immediately be fore. That he has changed his mind since a majority of the 23 Republican members of the Senate have tied up to Haines, is indicated by his return to Portland. Haines Forces Confident. The Haines forces feel certain of enough votes to control the caucus, and should all of their 12 hold together, they would wield the caucus, in the absence of F. P. Mays, of Multnomah. But the opposition, If successful In blocking a caucus, will throw on Haines the neces sity of securing three more votes, in order to secure election. Those three are now sought by the Haines forces and the ones to whom the Haines men are looking are Hart of Baker, Beach, Bailey and Malarkey of Multnomah, Coke of Coos, and Wealdon of Wasco. That things do not look well In the Hodson oamp is obvious. The chief stumbling block of Hodson's, from the first, has been the opposition of Malar key, which has deprived Hodson of a united Multnomah delegation. It has not been expected that Nottingham would vote for Hodson; in fact, the launching of the Hodson boom two years ago was made on the understanding that Notting ham would fight him. The hostility of Malarkey, however, was not counted on, and if there should be a breakup in the Hodson ranks, one of the chief forces of disruption will have been Malarkey. Booth an Unknown Quantity. The Hodson followers are anxious about Senator Booth, of Lane, who agreed to support in this Legislature the candi date of the united Multnomah delega tion. Booth is said to be unable to find the Multnomah candidate. Recently he entered in a sharp discussion with W. F. Matthews, who with I. L. Patterson has been working for 'Hodson and who two years ago was boss of the Legislators for this county and the man who made Kuykendall President of the Senate. The discussion took place in the lobby of the Imperial Hotel, and while their words could not be heard by others than them selves, it could be seen that Booth was delivering himself of vigorous sentiments. Since that time there has been depres sion in the Hodson ranks and a suspicion in political circles that Booth Is In quest of a dark horse. Senator Whealdon, of Wasco, who has been consorting with the Hodson forces, for the purpose, as has been said, of keeping himself In shape for a' boom of his own. does not seem to have made much progress. It was supposed, orig inally, that he would attach himself to the Haines camp, where he was a leader two years ago In the Legislature. But two or three months ago he drew away from Haines and apparently went to the Hodson side, though he has since denied that he promised or Intends to support Hodson. May Want Plum Himself. It was said that his peculiar tactics Indicated a desire to win the Presi dency for himself, and he confessed that to be his ambition. But that was before four of his Senatorial colleagues in Eastern Oregon attached themselves to Haines. Naturally, he was counting LAST WEEK OF OUR EXPIRA TION OF LEASE BEING OUR LAST CHANCE TO SELL, 0"UT ALL OUR STOCK PRICES ARE LOWER THAN EVER THIS MEANS FIFTY PER CENT SAVING FOR YOU STORE TO BE CLOSED 31st OF DECEMBER All Our Own Make of Umbrellas Canes Riding Whips Best Selected and Imported Suit Cases Traveling Bags Pocket Books Ladies' Hand Bags For Less Than Cost of Manufacture Fixtures for Sale Store for Rent JOHN ALLESINA 286 WASHINGTON ST. and 309 MORRISON ST. Opp. P. O. on the votes of those four. It is fair to presume that he expected to take two or three of them with him, if he planned to vote for Hodson. It is evi dent that he did not expect his col leagues to tie themselves up out of his reach. Whealdon's political asset in the Presidency contest has been his supposed alliance with other Eastern Oregon Senators. His failure to bring them with him into the Hodson camp has been a big disappointment there. And now Whealdon finds himself prac tically alone in Eastern Oregon, with out the support of Bowerman, or Laycock, or McDonald, with all of whom he was thought to be strongly tied, and with whom there is reason to believe he himself thought he was united. Should it become demonstrated that Hodson cannot be elected, the boom of W. H. Chapln, of Multnomah, for Speaker, will receive new Impetus, and a strong effort will be put forth to "line up" all of Multnomah's repre sentatives in his support.
