AVas a Man of Fine Character and Sterling Worth. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 2. (Special.) Judge John B. Waldo, JuriBt, legislator and farmer, died at his home in the Waldo Hills tonight after an illness of two weeks. He had been In his usual health until the middle of last month when he went on a trip through the Cascade Moun tains.

He was a quiet and unassuming man and took no prominent part in the active work of public movement, yet was the leader in many movements In an advisory capacity. Man of Worth to His State. He was one of the Influential advocates if the creation of the Cascade forest reserve. He had long been a leader in grange affairs and his counsels were frequently sought and followed. He served in the Legislature of 1889 as a Representative from Marion County, and though he was seldom heard upon the floor of the House, he was recognized as b valuable arid active member. His life was spent much out of doors, for he enjoyed physical exertion. It was his custom to take long trips In the mountains, leaving the trains and beaten paths and striking out Into the unexplored forest with his rifle, ax and pack horses. On- one of these trips he discovered Waldo Lake, near the summit of the Cascade Mountains, and that beautiful body of water has since borne his name. He it was who. in 1877, discovered Breitenbush Hot Springs near Mount Jefferson. It was for his absolute independence mid. fearlessness in thought and speech that Judge Wraldo was best known. Self interest never affected his opinions in the least. It is related that In 1885. while he was a member of the Supreme Court, the Legislature proposed to increase the salaries of the Supreme Judges from (2000 to J30O0. Waldo thought the constitutional salary a fixed compensation which the Legislature had no power to change, and lie went among the Legislators, opposing the measure and announcing his deter mination to refuse the increased salary if granted. Beautiful Traits In His Character. He returned railroad passes sent to him and when railroad conductors passed him by he bought mileage tickets and tore out the proper amount whenever he rode. When the Portland Savings Bank failed, he had over loO.OOO on deposit. He not only lost this, but paid a deposit "of 1600 which a servant In the family had de posited in the same bank at his sug gestion. In 1877, Judge Waldo married Miss Clara Humason, now grand lecturer of the Slate Grange. One daughter by this mar riage is living, Miss Edith Waldo, residing at home.

P. Lord, who served upon the Supreme bench with Waldo, said: "I have known Judge . Waldo for many years. I am shocked to hear of his death.- He was a most excellent man and upright citisen; loyaL.to his sense of duty and with high ideals' of right. He served six yesrs on the Supreme bench of this s'ate. Judge Watson and myself were his associate judges. We were the first elected under the law reorganizing the court. "Judge Waldo was an indefatigable and conscientious worker as a Judge fair and Impartial in mind and always anxious to work out Justice In accordance with legal principles. His courage was high, and his convictions were strong, and he never faltered when the time came to speak or act. His judicial opinions were usually hrief and the result of study. He knew how to reason and apply principles; he seldom resorted to elaboration or pauded his opinions with long quotations. He stated his case with brevity and perspicu ity and applied the law to the facts di rectly and logically, reinforced by cita tions In point. "in the consultation room he was ur bane, helprul and forceful. He had no false pride or opinion; he was ready to yield when convinced of his error and always graciously. He was a high type of manhood, in every relation of life in which I have met him, he Judged his conduct by the highest standard of true manliness. I am sorry he has gone from us: sorry for his family to whom he was devoted, for his friends to whom he was loyal. I Intended to have gone and seen htm yesterday, but learning that he was some worse. I concluded that it would be better for him hot fo be dis turbed by friendly attentions. He will be greatly missed, for among his friends he was greatly loved and admired." Chief Justice Bean, of the Supreme Court, says of Judge Waldo: "I am shocked to learn of the death of Judge Waldo. I have known him for more .than 20 years and always held him In the highest esteem. He was modest and retiring but a man of fine Intellect, forceful character and high ideals. His chief, characteristic was his abiding faith - in the virtues of the common people. He will be irreatly missed, and especially in moments which make for civic righteous ness and popular government."

Hoff said in part: The cause of labor has still farther reached out, and today Leneflctal laws for the toiling masses have been enacted all over the United 6tatep. of which Oregon has a good share. Besida the lien laws, of which there are many, we have now the law creating the State Labor Bureau, the commissioner of which is elected by the people of the stata. From checking up the registration, tak ing tbe voters' sworn statements regarding their occupations. I have found that two thirds of the electors of this state are wage-earners. This will prove that the power lies with the workingman and the primary law has put it fully into his hands. I have ceased to consider the right to vote as a privilege. It Is a duty 1 owe to my country. It Is a duty you owe to your country, and nothing but sickness Justifies you or me in staying away from the polls. By directing this power wisely and Justly, economic questions can be settled far better than by strikes. We have here a country, great and beau tiful, resources beyond calculation, oppor tunities without limit. Let ue by wise. Just and conservative action advance Ita. condi tion, preserving It, a glorious Inheritance to our children and our children's children, that they may enjoy Its beauty and look back to our actions and honor our memory. liABOR DAY FOR MINISTERS Seattle Ministers Put Time In Erect. ing a Tabernacle.

Two days of rain have quenched forest fires that threatened to do extensive dam age In Western Washington. The rains have been so drenching that it will be Impossible for others to start before the rainy season sets in. At no time in 19 years has the loss by fire been so light in Washington forests as it is this Summer, a fact due in part to the circumstance that in the Puget Sound district loggers were called out of the woods late in June and were not sent back until today, when the camps resumed operations to B0 per cent of their capacity. The fact that the loggers were out of the woods resulted In a falling off of fires from logging engines and carelessness.
