The door of Investment and commercial opportunity for Tortland swings Invitingly on the Olympic l'cn insula. with Port Anaeles for a hinge. It U the expressed opinion of leading business men of the northern section of the peninsula that Portland capital could not make a more auspicious in vestment than to provide for the build In of through railway lines from the Columbia River to Port Ansrele. Passengers, mall and express from Incoming boats docklnir at Port An iceles could be landed In Portland by rail before the boats could proceed from Port Angeles to Seattle. It Is argued by business men of port Angeles that Portland, by the construc tion of a direct railway line to Port Anaeles, would be In a position to com pete with Seattle for a share of the Alaska trade, as well as the rich traf fic of the Olympic renlnsula and the numerous Islands of Punet Sound. The great and crying need of the Olympic Peninsula is railway trans portation, and many eyes are turned hopefully toward Portland for a solu tion of the problem. The people of the Olympic renlnsula are anxious for connection with Port land. They feel that they have had to bear heavy freight charges by water which would be remedied by rail com petition with tha Oregon metropolis. Fmplre Awaits pevelopment. The Olympic Peninsula has been re fererd to as "the least known section of the United States." It Is an em pire awaiting development. It con tains approximately 000 square mll-s. with a shoreline extending for 100 mtlea along the Strait of Fuca and 0 miles along the Pacific . Ocean. So vast are Its resources and so unique the opportunities presented by existing conditions that It Is almost impossible to describe them without conveying an Impression of exaggeration. The principal asset of the peninsula Is timber. Kstlmatcs of this exceed the enormous aggregate of 100.000.000. 00 feet. The I'nited States Interior Tepartment estimates Clallam County alone as having S5.743.0O0.000 feet. The great bulk Is Or of superior quality, though matchless cedar, spruce and hemlock are Intermlncled The writer has personally observed great tracts of cedar of which many single trees would measure from four to six feet In diameter. One of the largest holdings Is In the bands of people directly Interested In the Milwaukee Hallway. Local ex perts at Port Angeles estimate that Milwaukee holdings In Clallam County alone exceed In present value 15.000. 00e. It seems logical tnat this vast natural wea.th will be developed by Its owners within a reasonable time and this fact alone means the extension of the Milwaukee system to the penin sula. Mineral Wealth a Feature. The mineral wealth of the peninsula l believed to be great. The Olympic Mountains carry deposits of valuable ores and recent prospecting gives cre dence to the report that In quantity and quality these will prove to be of great commercial value. Indications of gold, silver and copper have been found which Justify the belief that adequate prospecting will develop ore bodies of great Importance.

"Ma jor" John McBrlde. who is a minor offi cer in the employment of the Dublin Corporation, delivered a lecture a few l V. .In., n I hA Rlnn VmIti offices. Harcourt street. The subject was "The Irish Brigade in tne Transvaal, dui at the outset the lecturer referred to the forthcoming visit of the King to Dub lin, M Xlludlng to the report that the Lord Mayor and Corporation would be glad to welcome the King, he advised Na tionalists to take the rumor with a grain of salt. He did not believe that Alderman Farrell would be a party to the presentation of an address to the King ot England. The King would, no doubt, receive an address from his gar rison, out tne mannooa ui irvmuu wvuiu take no part in it. ' Four distinguished statesmen would also visit this country during the com ing Hummer, and he hoped that the press of the world would compare the machined reception which would be given to the King of England with the spontaneous welcome that would be ex tended to the four elected rulers of the youngest nations In the world. One of those statesmen would be General Louis Botha, under whom the Transvaal Bri gade had the pleasure of shooting Eng lishmen. The Brigade was organized for the purpose of paying back part of the debt which Ireland owed to England. There were some Americans and Irish Americans In It, but the bulk of It was composed of pure-blooded Irishmen. The proudest time in their lives was when they were fighting the British. They had lost over 40 per cent In killed, wounded and prisoners, and though the sword- had fallen from their hands at present, they hoped to pick it up again, and they would not stop until they had swept away every vestige of that 'Em pire of Hell." He knew that the Brit ish generala were Incompetent, and that their army was rotten, and he was sorry to say that It was the Irish troops alone that saved the English from destruction.- Today they had In Ireland several movements for the purpose of bring ing life Into the country, and one of these was a movement to prevent re cruiting for the British Army. Navy and police forces. The success of these movements would do more to hurt Eng land than centuries of Constitutional agitation. They should strike how they might and when they might against the Throne and the cursed British Em pire, and for the freedom of Ireland. The chairman (Mr. Arthur 'Griffith), In proposing a resolution, which called upon the Nationalist members of the Corporation to vote against a loyal ad dress, said that they had in the posses sion of the Sinn Fein Council three written pledges from the Lord Mayor stating that he would not have any thing to do with the address.- The res olution was passed unanimously.

W. Dav enport Tells Views. NOTED ARTIST ARRIVES Kexr Torker Discusses Interesting Characteristics of His Nonogen arian Tarent Whose Funeral He Is En Route to Attend. Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, who arrived In Portland last night on his way to Sllverton to attend the funeral of his father. T. W. Davenport, who died at Pasadena, Cal., Saturday, has in his possession a remarkable let ter written by his late parent shortly previous to his death and strangely enough death is the subject of the epistle, which was written as a condo lence to Miss Mary Burns, an old friend whose father., had passed away a short time before. .... The communication is as follows. Vour last card received yesterday, glv inj m. w. as to the death of your fafhe?. Toa are srieved for the loss, but you. Wis without doubt his great , sain. I do not look upon death as I did to my youth, for since then I have learned as to the trua nature of death that in rea lty it Is not death or discontinuance of life, but a separation of the spirit from lts ma terial habitation a new birth, and the brinsins of spiritual exl.tence untram meled by the leU and hindrances of clay. " never did have a belief in a personal devil o, a literal hell, neve, did have any fear of the hereafter as respects barbaric myths, but did have an anxiety as to wbat our condition would prove to be, and so looked upon death with dread, for the future was unknown. Lord Byron Recalled. I could well appreciate the horror that Lord Byron expressed In his poem. "The Prisoner of ChUlon:" "Oh trod. It is a fearful thins. To see the human soul take wing In any shape, In any mood; -I've seen it rushing; forth with blood. I've seen It on the broken ocean, StrugBline with swollen convulsive motion. I've seen the sick and ghastly bed Of sin. dellrous with its dread." But with our new light, death as I view It is not alarming or horrible, but a solemn and Interesting transition from life cor poreal to life spiritual, and to those who re bowed with the Inflrmltles of age should be welcomed as a blessed relief. I hope my children and friends will so view It when the time comes for my transition and shed no tears of regret, but with wishes for my deliverance, "speed the parting guest." All that I dread Is the slow gradations of decay, paralysis, loss of mind, helpless ness of body, entailing upon the family burdens and oarea whioh. tbough assumed as a duty and for one who was dear, can not In the nature of things be an agree able occupation, that Is, to one's material sense. I would escape the valley and shadow and pass from one sunlit promon tory to another, the only kind of aviation which would tempt me. Love to you and all the friends. T.W. DAVENPORT. This letter was written April 18. Ten days later Mr. Davenport himself passed away. ' Writinga ia Book Form Next. Acting on a suggestion of the late Harvey W. Scott, Mr. Davenport will assemble the communications written by his father to The Oregonian. the Springfield Republican and other lead ing newspapers of the United States during the past 60 years and compile them In book form.

When I awoke he had gone, leaving a letter which was a disserta tion on the folly of overwork and over anxiety. He urged me to learn how to relax myseii ana do ia?. ter was characteristic of the man.
