THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1909. 16 STEAMER GRDYDDN TO TAKE L Frank Waterhouse & Co. Char ter British Vessel for Portland Loading. WILL ARRIVE IN MARCH Craft Now Kii Itouto to Coinox, Where she Will Take Coal for Outward Voyage Outlook for February I, timber Trade. Frank Waterhouse & Co. has placed the. British steam-ship Croydon on berth at Portland for lumber loading In March. The. ves.sel Is now en route to C'nm from the Weft Coast and will be here for early March loading. The cargo will probably be furnished by the racitic Kxport Lumber Company. February will set a mark for lumber shipments, foreign, which will be hard to beat. There Is at present enough ton nage In sight to clear upwards of 20. t).n feet, and the hold-over cargoes will make a good beginning for March. The British steamship Tymeric. which Is taking lumber at the Portland Mills, will not carry a full cargo. She is tin ker charter to carry mail from San Francisco to Australia. and will be .'.impelled to leave Portland before a full cargo has been plnced on board. The lumber left over from the Ty meric will he carried on the steamship Yeddo and enough additional will be fur nished to fill up the latter vessel. The Boveric will go out with a full cargo. The British bark Crown of Germany has been placed on berth at Antwerp to load a full cargo for San Francisco and Portland. The vessel is the' first to be mentioned as possible fixtures for next season's grain. She will leave Antwerp lv March 1 and will be due at the Cali fornia port In August. She will arrive at Portland In September, and If she has been fixed for outward grain by that time, will take one of the first new crop cargoes. PAS.SEMiKKS .NOW GO BY SKA Interrupted Kail Communication to San Krnmis-o Help Steamships. Interruption of rail communication be tween Portland and San Francisco by rea son of floods and washouts, has diverted passenger trnfflc to the ocean route. More than To first-class tickets were sold yes terday for the steamship Senator, which Is scheduled to sail for San Francisco this --trfromoon. I'p to the time that the rail service closed only 10 tickets had been sold. Captain B. W. Mason will proceed to San Francisco as a passenger on the steamship Senator. Ho has been acting In the capacity of superintendent of steve dores at Portand for the past year. The general Impression among shippers and waterfront men is that Captain Ma son will be placed in command of a new steamship which will be operated in the place of the Pacific Coast steamship Sen ator, which Is now operating under a time charter. KsTIM ATKS FOR "EW BOAT Captain Speier Preparing Specifica tions for Ilice Patrol Vessel. Captain J. Sprier. Harbormaster, has l"en engascd during the last week In making estimates of the cost of a police patrol boat. These estimates will be pre sented to the Council at the next regu lar meeting and at that time it will be d?cided whether Portland is to have a river patrol or not. Captain Speier estimates that a boat, suitable for the needs of the port, can be constructed for approximately $.V)00. These figures Include everything. The plan of the Harbormaster is to have a boat of sufficient dimensions to carry a largo .number of men and still have sufficient d-"ckroom for them to work. He also has plans to have the cabin fitted with Pull man berths and a medicine chest, so that first aid to the Injured could be furnished by the vessel In case of accident along the riverfront. Tender Manzanita Due March 20. , The new lighthouse tender Manzanita. which recently arrived at San Francisco from Newport News, will leave for As toria February 13. She will he accom panied by light vessels Xos. 8S. K and 93. The fleet Is expected to arrive at Astoria on the afternoon of February 20. The vessels are all new and were built for sen-iu-e on the Pacific Coast. Marine Xores. The steamship Nlcomedla shifted from Alaska dock to Alblna yesterday morn Ine. The steam schooner Rainier sailed from Presotts with a lumber cargo last evening. The steamship Argo arrived at Tilla mook yesterday and will sail for Portland from that point this afternoon. With a full list of passengers and 400 tons of freight, the steamship Alliance arrived up yesterday -morning from Coos Bay ports. The steamship Rivers'de. operating In connection with the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, arrived up from San Francisco last evening. Arrivals and Departures.

CONFERENCE WORK ENDS German Lutheran Ministers Discuss Scarcity of Theological Students. At the meeting of the conference of the German Lutheran Church, of the Joint svnod of Ohio and other states, yester day, in St. Paul's Church, East Twelfth street, the ministers considered the lack of ministers and the slowness .of young men to study for the ministry. It was the report from all ministers that they were overworked, and one reported that he looked after six congregations, which was more than he could handle. How to obtain attendance of students at the theological schools was discussed. It was found that young men are slow to take up the study of the course prescribed by the German Lutheran Church because It requires half a life-time to master It, but they prefer the lighter commercial courses. It was decided to ask the missionary board at Columbus, O.. the head of the Lutheran Church In the United States, to provide a traveling missionary for Ore gon and Washington, whose duty will be to look after separated congregations. In connection with the business of yes terday there was a surprise for Rev. August Krause. pastor of the local church. In behalf' of conference Rev. George Koehler and Rev. K. P. Dasher presented Rev. Krause with a beautiful symbolic picture with fitting remarks. The gift was In honor of Rev. Mr. Krause's birthday. He replied with ap propriate) words.

STEEL BRIDGE TO BE REBUILT SOON Harriman Interests Ready to Replace Present Struc ture. . CHIEF ENGINEER IS COMING John D. Isaacs, Consulting Kxpert, to Be Here to Pass on Kecon M ruction Plans in Few Days. Will View Other Work, That the Harriman lines -will soon re build the Steel bridge across the 'Wil lamette River In North Portland is shown by the fact that John D. Isaacs, con sulting engineer for the Harriman lines. Is on his way to Portland to make a per sonal examination of the structure and submit his recommendations as to how it be Teplaced. Mr. Isaacs acts in an advisory capacity to engineering depart ments of the entire Harriman system and is especially strong on bridges.- He will reach' the city within the next few days and will look over the bridge and either approve or reject plans for the rehabilita tion of the structure made by the engi neering department of the Harriman lines in this territory under the direction of Chief Engineer Boschke. "We have plans for a new bridge that we are not yet ready to make public," said J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harriman lines In this territory, yes terday. "Mr. Isaacs will look over the situation and give us the benefit of his long experience In bridge work. I am unable yet to say when we will start work on a new bridge for plans have not yet -reached that stage." It has been known for some time that the Harriman lines have been planning the rebuilding of the Steel bridge but the announcement just made is the most definite yet reached in the matter. It is believed that the coming Summer will see progress made In constructing a new bridge either on the present site of the Steel bridge or just south of that struc ture. Mr. Isaacs also comes to look over the bridge for the Willsburg Cutoff that will be erected below Oswego. The construc tion of this bridge presents some unique engineering problems. It is hard to get suitable foundations for the center pier pf this bridge without going to extreme depth. It is found by experimental borings that It will probably be necessary to go 6.1 feet below the river bed, or ISO feet below the surface of the river at low water to find a gravel bed suffi ciently solid on which to anchor the center pier of the bridge. Plans were made for the structure by George T. Forsyth, bridge engineer in Chief Knglneer Boschke's office. He der signed an attractive structure, single track, consisting of two 300-foot spans. From the bottom chord to the surface of the river will be 65 feet, allowing suffi cient room for all river craft to pass beneath. Steel for this bridge has ar rived and Is stored at the Southern Pa cific carsliops ready to be put up. The two piers at each side of the river have been practically completed but nothing can be done on the center pier until the water subsides. Meanwhile Mr. Isaacs) will look over the plans for the foundations of the center pier and make any suggestions lie thinks necessary. IIKAD FOR GTt.VYS HARBOR Harriman People Prepare to Rush AVork on Xcn Extension. J. D. Farrell, of Seattle, general man ager of tho Oregon & Washington Rail road, the projected Union Pacific exten sion from Portland to Puget Sound, spent yesterday In Portland, coming here for consultation with local Harriman offi cials. While In the city he announced that his long delayed road will be pushed during the coming few months and he predicts that trains will be running be tween Portland and Puget Sound within the next 18 months. "We are busy on the Gray's Harbor extension and the line to Puget Sound," said Mr. Farrell. "and we will push them both to completion. , The Tacoma tun nel is likely to delay us somewhat. Track Is now being laid from Tacoma this way nd our right of way is completely secured. 'VSork can, therefore, go ahead at a rapid rate." Trains Still Use Kalama Ferry. Although the storms that blocked ev ery railroad in the Pacific Northwest are over, the Northern Pacific line be tween Vancouver and Kalama, Wash.. Is not yet open to through trains and trains operated by the Northern Pa cific between Portland and the Sound are still being run down the south track of the Columbia River to Goble and transferred across the river on the old ferry Tacoma. The operating de partment of the Northern Pacific says It will be a week or more yet before trains can be operated by way of Van couver. Returns From California Excursion. C. F. Vandevanter, traveling passen ger agent for the O. R. & N., passed through Portland yesterday on his way back to Spokane after accompanying' the excursion south from that city'to California recently. He sa!d the mem bers of the party enjoyed ' the trip immensely and the arrangements made to entertain them while in California pleased them greatly. The excursion passed through Portland on Its way south early In January. McXab Will Be Transferred. J. K. McNab. traveling freight agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway, will be transferred from Portland to Van couver, B. C. where he will hold the same position with the company.

ADDRESSED BY DR. DYOTT Pastor of First Congregational Church Discusses "The Privileged Class" Graduates Receive Beautiful Floral Tokens. To the 12 young- men' and women graduates and the large audience of friends who filled the auditorium of the Kast Side High School last night. Rev. Luther K. Dyott spoke on the topic, "The Privileged Life." lie de; clared at the start that such a life is not selfish. Is not Imperious in itj de mand3, but should have somethltrg in order to be something beyond the average and do something worth while, for life at zero is below par. Continu ing, he said: The privileged life calls for lofty Ideals, clear vision, assiduous application and dis tinctive achievement. Asking nothing in derogation of the rights of others. as though it were right to sustain the classes at tho expense nf the masses, it finds the better part in obtaining power, poise and privacy at life's supreme center, and then turns with altruistic intent to work out ward to life's greatest possible circumfer ence. Kvery man's work Is bom with him. and holds open hands above hla cradle, and the worth of life must be attested In the work of life. We should never be over whelmed In the presence of incidental fail ures, and defeated by temporary mistakes, nor enervated by radiant success. He who never falls may himself be a failure, .regis tering his life In negligible quantities. He who never makes a mistake never does anything else. But no one has a right to fall when he can have real .success. Suc cess Is the equivalent of opportunity plus abilitv A person who Is good. Is good for something, and when be Is good for some thing, he can do something. He has no right to be second-rate in ono thing. If he can be first-rate In another. It Is better to be a first-rate farmer than a second rate legislator. All of the virtues are not with our rulers. Neither are all the vices with those who are ruled. To find out what one Is good for and then to do it. Is one of the finest arts of religion. The worth of education is not In intellectual garniture, but it is in preparing one to make a life, which Is more than a living. Our modern life, especially that which we call our religious life. Is In danger of overworking the warning against making money. A voung man must not feel that he Is called upon to find his chief virtue in poversy. Make all you can. but make It honestly. Then show that manhood is more than monev. . and compel mr ney to pray, 'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as in heaven." The secular Is sacred, but young women should never enter the so-called secular pursuits unless It is necessary. Your "pin money," when earned at the disadvantage of some one else who needs It. when you do not. may hurt at its sharp points some one else whose chance you have preempted. There are exceptions, but they are excep tions which prove ihe rule that a woman's highest throne is In the home and the life of a mother, next to the life of God. Is the most Indispensable thing in the world. The privileged life is regnant through char acter, and makes superb ort of consistent conduct. It takes no account of luck, and makes much of pluck. It asks not what is expedient, but what is right and does the right at any cost, and r.ever regrets the price paid however high It may seem. The privileged life in found In three things, namely these: First, In that which one is. when one Is that which one ought to be; second. In that which one has, when one has that which belongs to one; third. In that which one can do. when opportu nity finds its equal in everyday Inspiration. Self-discovery, self-realization, self-control and self-dedication are necessary toNthe In dividual life. Then that which one has is an a.sset for Investment in behalf of the common good of humanity, while that which one can do is the high expression of the privileged life. It Is a privilege to contribute our part to life's supreme good. There Is no dis tinct contribution here without efficiency, and no efficiency without education, of the Vight sort and no education without making all life on earth a school and all Its experiences lessons, where we make the best grades. This s the privileged life in what It is, and what It has, and what It can do. Herman Wittenberg, chairman of the Board of Bducation, presented the diplomas to the class, with appropriate remarks. Following is the list of graduates: Alvin K. Bradford. Goldle Giissom. Margaret Thomas. Max Som ers, Waldo Miller. Elizabeth Lewis, Marguerite Matholt. Emanuel Lander holm, John Bozorth. Leon Chevalli, Ruth Owen and Roy Hatfield. Stuart McGulre rendered several solos in fine voice. The East Side High School Glee Club captivated the audi ence with its renditions of "Cobwebs," RttlAM RECIPE after each dose. It Is stated that this prescription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary difficulties, espe cially of the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used In rheu matic afflictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellings. A well-known authority states that this mlxturei acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses these spongelike organs and gives" them power to sift and strain the poisonous waBte matter and uric acid from the blood which Is the cause of rheumatism. If your back or sides ache and you suspect kidney trouble it would bo wise to try this for a few days, . "Voices of the Night" and "Don't Cry, My Honey." The members of the class received the usual floral tributes from admiring friends. OUR LAW-GIVER EXPLAINS Latest Weft of AVisdom Prom the Law Factory .at Oregon City.' ORtJGOX CITY, Or.. Feb. 4. (To tha Editor.) The Oregonfan'a front page scare headline declaration yesterday that there was a Joker in the proportional representa tion amendent is a tissue of mis-statemcnt3 from beginning to end. There was no joker, there was no deception,' there was nothing hidden. The explanation submitted by the people's Power League with thia amend ment, see page 102 of the Secretary of State's pamphlet, pays: "Under the best methods of electing representatives by pro portional representation, and which the peo ple will have power to adopt in Oregon if this amendment is approved, every one stxtfeth of the voters In the state-will be able to elect one representative, but V elect 0 of the 60 representatives, as one party did at the last election, it must have ."ill of every AO voters in the state." The ex planation further says that "this amend ment is not intended to provide a system, but if it Is approved, the voters of the state can then enact Jaws for any plan that will give the fairest results in Oregon." Mr. URen did not say the things charged to" him by The Oregonlan'a fialem corre spondent at any time or any place. He did say to Mr. Prescott, representing The Ote gonlan. that under the Oregon amendment the . Belgian law could not be adopted be cause under that system it would be prac tically impossible for one-sixtieth of the voters of Oregon to elect a representative. Sir A. Hardinge. in reporting for the British Blue Book issued In June, IWfl, on the so called proportional law of Belgulm. see page 111. says of the Belgian law: "It is In prac tice fatal to representation of small mi norities or to the presence in the Chambers cf Independent members. Few Belgian poli ticians have much chance nowadays of be ing elected either to the Senate or the House of Representatives who are not stamped with the hall mark of one of the three great political organizations and defi nitely pledged to its . whole programme." The people of Oregon have had enough of that kind of experience under the present system. As Oregon Is now gerrymandered! in the interest of the Republican machine under the bill passed in 1903, tlte Democrats will get more than their fair share of repre sentation at the election in 19X0, and the result will not be in any sense proportional or Just to the Democratic voters of the state, nor to the smaller parties. Neither will It be any more possible for one-slxtleth. of the voters of the whole state to elect one representative than it was before the amendment was adopted, unless they all live in one representative district. It is said with a eneer by some of the Senators, that if Senator Selling's bill should pass, the shoemakers of Oregon could elect a representative if they had 2000 votes In the whole state. Is there anything unjust about that If they have one-sixtieth of the votes and CO representatives are to be elected? It is equally true, and intended to be true under all forms of fairly propor tional representation, that the grocers, or the chambers of commerce, .the newspaper men, or any other combination or board or party that includes one-sixtieth of the voters could elect one representative, re gardless of what the other fifty-nine-sixtieths may do. But on the other hand, if Senator Selling's bill passes, the Demo crats with slxteen-sixtiethe of the vote cannot possibly elect 20 representatives, nor can the Republicans with thirty-six-sixtieths possibly elect 59, nor 62, nor any greater number of members than, 3tt. Is that un just? U. S. U'REN. Athletes Fall In Studies. MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 4.
