About two miles below Wallula the craft was sighted by Oaptaln, P. O. "Wrigley. James Brake and Ben Thrasher, who risked their lives in efforts to save the boat. They carried'a anoe to the water's edge, and boarding it pluoged In amomr the floating: calces of ice and reached the Mate. C. Hover. Here they put on lire preservers, at- tached a Una to the boat and returned to shore in the canoe.

(Continued from First inquisitiveness are the box-office men at the theaters and the ticket-sellers at railway stations. Tbe telephone la an American invert- tion. and its development is tbe result of American ingenuity. Despite the fact that It is now barely- SO years old, it is thoroughly fastened upon our dally life. Alexander Graham Bell. Its inventor, is still a familiar Agrure on the Blrfifttj Of Washington. H"e be gran -working: on the idea, in 18. -4. He completed the Invention in 1875, patented it the next year.- and In 1577 U Was put into practical commer cial jm. After making the original ma chine Mr. Bell then busied himself with scientific research in other directions, and left to other inventors the task of bring-- Ing the Idea up to its present state ot perfection. As. half billion dollars are now invested In this revolutionary Invention. There are nearly 3,000,000 names in the telephone directories of the United States. Each man. woman and child in the country averages nearly a hundred talks a year over the telephone. Enormous returns have been realized from trifling invest ments made years ago when the idea was In an experimental stag. Franchises which were freely given away- tlien by generous city fathers to men looked upon as dreamers are now worth millions of dollars. Of late the competition between the Sell or "Trust" companies and what are known as the "Independent" con cerns has racked and torn cities and rural communities everywhere from the Atlantic to the Pacific. " Old Theories Knocked Out. Telephones have turned some old theo ries of business topsy-turvy. For in stance, it has been the rule of commerce that the larger the business the cheaper the proportionate cost of operation. Not so with the telephone. The greater num ber of instruments attached to an ex change, the greater number of persons are invited to talk. This means more operators and more wires and more ex pense In taking care of them. This calls to mind an unusual complaint that was sent into the Ohicago office not long since. A new subscriber indignantly re ported that there was something the mat ter with the 'phone. "Why." she said, "I have had the thing; here a week, and the bell hasn't rung once." ."'Iobably no one has called you up' frag sug gested. "Oh, I hadn't thought of that' Bhe replied. No one eems able to forecast the possJ- htllties of the telephone. Vice-president Fairbanks, when a Senator, was a warm advocate of an arrangement by -which special delivery letters. properly desig nated, should be opened bv the post- master and read over the telephone- to the addressee. ' One of the most start- developments Is an arrangement which -will give a man an opportunity to alt In his home Sunday morning- and hear his. favorite preacher expound the gospel. Such a contrivance was hinted at in Bell amy "Looking Backward." A trial of this idea was Klven in th Nntinnni i ti.o. of Representatives recently, and members in committee rooms all over the Capitol heard plainly what was going on In the Mouse, the debates being taken iu by an Innocent-looking disk on Speaker Can- non's 3esk. Public Plionoprapli Xext. -An effort Ib being made to bring- the phonograph into conjunction with the telephone. As an Instance ot what may result from this combination, the country doctor may say Into his talking machine: ''Have name and address and what is wanted." Every person who calls up the number will be answered by the pnonograph. which la not Hable to the lapses of memory with which office boys ace afflicted. When the doctor returns he can turn on the phonograph, the re ceiving: one, and it will tell' him who called him up while he was away, and what they wanted. And there will be no mistakes. If his caller stuttered or sneezed or swore gently under his breath, a faithful reproduction of all that hap pened will be on tbe record. The automatic telephone, which is being SUCcessiuily usea in many places,, does away with the "hello girl" and substi tutes a delicately arranged electrical con trivance which makes the connection in response to a movement made on the dial toy the party desiring to talk. While this device can't posslp. and will take all the profanity coming its way without ventur ing; to "sass back." It can't tell you the lime or where the tire Is. Latest Uses of Phone. , Hotels now have the telephones In ev ery room, and in some of the more mod ern ones there Is an Instrument In the elevator which may toe used when the lift is in motion as well as when standing still. Anotner appliance has been per fected which will enable the traveler or a train going at high speed to talk; over the telephone to his friends In their homes. This Is accomplished by making a circuit tnrouKn a jet or water thrown from the engine against a wire stretched along the track. Experiments are being made in wireless telephony, and already a conversation has been held at a dis tance of 11 miles by means of wireless telephone apparatus. Persistent efforts are being made to Improve the long dis- tance service. In Soston not Ions ago a couple of men stationed at tables in the same room carried on a conversation over a circuit wire 1WQ miles long. Shooting; Excites lenver People. JJEIHVEK, Jan. Zl.

While the members of he board deny they discussed the question, it Is under stood the majority favors the election ot Mr, Glafke. who was present at the meeting as a member 'of the board, and In private conversation said he would ac cept the position if it were tendered him. Heretofore Mr. Glafke has kept closely within his shell, and yesterday was the first time he haa said he would accept the presidency. Had he not been reason ably sure of election it is not thought that he would have made any admission even yesterday as to his position. Friends of H. M. Cake have been iirar- Ingr his name, and by many it had been predicted that at the first meeting of the board one of the members would re sign to enable Mr. Cake to become a member of the body. To become presi dent one must first be a member of the hoard. But no one resigned yesterday, and this Is regarded as further indication that Mr. Glafke is to be the next presi dent. Mr. Cake says be has not been an as pirant for the honor.

IN BISHOP O'REILLY SAYS IT Ig CHRISTIANITY'S BATTLE. Government Is Persecuting: Holy Men. and Women 'and Confis. eating Church rropcrty, BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 19. (To the Editor.) It Is One of the inconveniences ot living so far from Portland that The Ore- jronian Is not circulated in Baker City until 24 hours after Its publication. Naturally, we look forward with great interest to Its coming, as It Is to be commended as a great news distributor, and as always re liable, except when it develops Its tendency to dabble In tlteolotry. The Oresonlan does not believe In the dogma and authority of the Catholic Church, but when occasion presents itself Its dogmatism and infalli bility are vastly more pronounced than any definition "ex-cathedra" ot the Catholic Church. In Friday's Issue of The Oregonlan the lead Ins; article Is devoted to "French Af fairs," and assumes to a statement "In concrete form of the relative position be- twefll the government or France( and the Catholic Church." The Oregon lan then proceeds to state that -the situation In France Is a natural result of the develop ment of modern political and religious thought. In the whole article The Orego- nlan tries to befoe the real issue between the French government and the Catholic Church, or rather, between the French a-ov- ftrnment and Christianity, for the struggle now going on in Prance is In reality a battle between Christian- principles on which our civilization is based, and atheis tic principles, which, if triumphant, would uproot and Utterly destroy our whole social organization. Viewed in this light what is now transpiring; in France has an Interest for the people of all countries, whether they be Catholics or Protestants. ' In principle and in fact, today, the situa tion In France is the same, as the situation at the time of tbe FMnoh Revolution. It is again a question of forcing a- vclvll con stitution" upon the clergy, of having "con stitutional bishops." of making the state omnipotent, of taking not only civil admin istration, but also dofrma and spiritual su periors from the government; of utterly changing and destroying the constitution of the Catholic Church. According to, a distinguished American writer, it is the policy of the Infidel irovernment of France W ssiz fipoa hurca. proparxj abolish Catholic worship, and call, this separation, and to compare It to the American- condi tions. But ther is absolutely no similarity In the two cases. In America, separation means more perfect liberty; in France, it means slavery. Coiulder the Inventory proceedings. Imagine, if you can, the state officials of Oregon, backed by the Governor, sending- down a commute with a troop of soldiers to break i n the d oor s of the cathedral of Archbishop Christie, and count the number of church vestments and the churoh poatwHlona. We would bave thouxht that they'' had jon mad. and the French government has gone mad. There is not a Catholic In the world who would not have welcomed separation in France, as it exists n tho United States. But CathoHc. in mnc naturally object to belris plundered and robbed and klcKcd out ot their own country, and that by a minority who do not represent the French people, and whose action. m xnmm poMlbl by th fact that, while Trance u a republic In name, it U & more despotic government than Russia, The Oregonian states that In 1739 the National Assembly of France passed a law which confiscated tha property or the Catholic Church In that country, and from this confiscation some J40.000.000 were realized. Elsewhere in the same article it la stated that tho church, buildlnca and property In France had. belonged to the government since 1789. and the title of the government was recognized and confirmed by the concordat In 1801. When the FYench Kovernment confiscated church property, it was agreed that the state should sW back as much as was actually necessary to carry on public worship, and, provided that the r rellgioQ and aclcnowledtce, as the gov ernment did afterwards, that the stipend paid to the clerjy was part of the national debt. The amount thus paid was about one per cent of th value on- the property retained. Thui we can see the Insincerity of Clemenceau in calling his unjust law a separation of church from state. As a matter of fact, the church In France re ceived for the support or religion and charity only a small part of what she was unjustly deprived. Th real mult of this so-called law la iat since, it went into effect churches. mliiarla and other eoclestastlcal prop Iv -hav w-.. r . v- . . . tJlsiops and prlest& driven from their home- on short notice. i in the I-e-t no one mistake the real issi policy or the present Prcneh o It is a war asalnst Jesus Christ and agalnit the Idea 0 & God, ana U tney can dis pose of the Catholic Church today, they will begin a similar persecution rroieiiantiim and Judaism tomorrow. The Oregonian criticizes the Pope for urging the French bishops to the policy of passive resistance to the law. and states th' the French aovernment has proceeded in -The execution oC the law with "discre tion" and has avoided as much as possible inflicting penalties which might look like "persecution." Numerous lnst&nbea from our French 1 changes show tliat the enforcement of the so-called separation law In France is at tended by a vlndlctlvenesa and persecution that must dlsKut all hlsn-mlnded, honor-able men. Wltnee. the disgraceful ac tions OC th official, on- the occasion of the eviction of the veneral Candlnal Richard, of Paris, ne&rly 60 years of age. from his episcopal residence. And has the French government showed Its "discretion" and lack or "persecution" in sending; soldiers to drive out homeless, ome 81,000 Sisters of Charity who are teaching- French ittrls to be pure? Every priest and everv Sister of Charity In France Is a reproach to the mad carnival of vice which the French government, naa fostered. It is only one thine; further the government can do murder and kill. They did that In the be ginning of the last century, and the church yet lives, and it will soon sing the requiem of Brland and his fellow brigands. Honest men throughout the world recog nize the contrast between the Inflamma tory ravings of the t French cabinet and the calm and benign Pope. Tlu X Is as fearless and straight-forward as he is meek and peace-loving. His love for France, bla desire for peace, made him accept many provisions and conditions far from pleasing r rr,it",ctory- But length he had yielded all there was to yield: when finally such concession was followed only by more Insult and Insatiable demand!, the moment came at last when it was clear that what was wanting and demanded was the re nunciation of all right, human and divine -then, true to his sacred trust, no further menaces, nor the horror of persecution it self, could 'shake his fearlessness and In trepidity. The clergy of France are citlxens of France. and as citizens should have the rights of citizens to protect themselves by every legal means; yet thousands of priests and thousands of sisters devoting them selves to religion and charity have been cruel y and heartlessly turned out into tnS streets of France; and were It not for the charity of strangers, these harmless itnd holy men and women would have been left IS sta!"ve and no other offense than the silent protest which exalted virtues oV- acs- ij vice and licentiousness. TV ill The Oregonian tell us that this is not crime or persecution? What a picture Is presented of a govern - VIVl committing robbery because it knows that its victims lave no chance for redress m courts under government influence.

ORBGOV deeply distrust- and dislike the Roman Catholic .Church that they are Inclined to believe any government in the right when It Quarrels with - the Catholkcs. They sea in the present crisis In France only a move ment on the part of the state to do away with all connection between the civil power and its treasury and the Church Of Rome. They refuse to consider what lies behind the action- of the government what Its next, step ls likely to be. "Such Americans ought to give their earnest attention to Jubilant leaders 01 French Socialists like Jean J a u res, the most eloquent and probably the most sifted spokesman of his party. He ls under no delusions concerning; the animus and goal of the Clemenceau ministry, and the So- delists who color and Influence it in a manner most, extraordinary . when their numerical weakness ls considered. "In the January issue of the Times Magazine there is a brier and pointed state ment by M. Jaures of political conditions and changes In Prance, from the point of view of extreme Socialists. It is written lti a tone of confident anticipation, and it makes Clear the reason why French So- ftallits like the present government and its methods. "Jaures shows now one ministry after another, since the birth or the republic, has become more radical and contributed more to th power of the classes from whicn so- clallsts draw most of their recruits. He Sxults In the blows struck at the forces and orKanltatlont which might nave made the most effective resistance to Socialism. He points out that M. Brland, the Mipister of Public Instruction. Including religion in his department, is a thoroughgoing- Socialist who haa only recently Interrupted his labors In behalf of the full Socialist nrairrain. Just now, he explains, - M. Brland ls busy with the church, but he etui adheres to the full-fledged Socialism which aims at the appropriation, by. and for the state, of all property. On the friendly testimony of tbe admiring Jaures It appears that Briand even advocates a general stoppage or wark -the 'general strike' as & telling method of Socialistic attack upon the powers of property. ' 'M - Jauran daalar.. w. n . break between the government and the churches will wea'Ken the catholic church. and that church, he says truly, had been a i 1 1 1 wrai power in the service of the con servative classes.- "i-t no American ImasIne that this means anything peculiar to France, in the t'nited States, as In other countries, the churches all of them are bulwarks or law and order. They conserve the rights of property, Jus-t as they do other rlRhts against violent or unjust spoliation. They are flntl-rflvolutlonary. Hence Socialists or the Jaures type and the Brland typo dis- 11U--n1 seelc to undermine them. The crl-la In K-r-a Is no mere separa tion of church and state. It ls the seizure Of church property bv a hostile government, and that government Is on the high road to the complete Socialism which some of its "tr?xl'"t membesre avow KaI tj,elr goal." Two utterances of M. Briand, tbe French Minister of Worship and Education, should be put before tha eyes of all Christian people. Speak in k to the teachers of Amiens a few months ago. "be said "We must be done with the Idea, or Christianity-" Again; -We have fought Jesus Christ from the schools, from- the universi ties, from the hospitals, even from the pris ons: we must now drive "him out of tne Kovernment of France."
