"W. S. Gilbert, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church, preached yesterday morning from the text Hebrews xii:27: "That those things which cannot be shaken may remain." He eaid in part: "Whatever enters the world must strug gle for an existence. Under the great law of the survival of the Attest, every thing undergoes a testing. The things that are weakest go down, the thing that can be shaken Is shaken, and the things that cannot be shaken remain. After a bridge Is built. It is tested; when a ship is constructed, it is given a trial trip and is subjected to every possible test be fore it is commissioned to service. When anything is established, an Institution, a theory, a form of government, a house, a religion, a character, it must meet the struggle of the years, the test of time. After it has met the tests if It remains It is Indeed valuable for service and may be defended upon. "So we may look into the great future of the world with a confident assurance. It Is written In all the laws of God that a stable good Is coming out of all vicissi tudes. Whatever is built wrong will not stand the tests; whatever Is wrong will be shaken. Dross shall be consumed from character, from society, from the city, from the church, and the great refiner of silver shall bring out the pure, the good, the true. Good and evil are not to be forever mingled. Truth and error shall not forever be confused. The Lord will shape heaven and earth until that only which cannot be shaken will remain. I'hpn TcfU Ifr Kn GBAti TirHrt arA TxrViof nrjiA upon the rock and who and what unon the sand. The Lord shall bring every work Into, judgment with every secret thing, whether It be good or whether It be evil. Time will tell what is go.d. silver and precious stones and what is wood, has' and stubble. "Wo are now in the midst of a splendid jeriod of the world's history. Men are wonderfully alive. Every part of the rworld's lifo is stirred by the univerral awakening. The zeal of enterprise Is un paralleled; the spirit of Investigation is universal. It is a time of persistent shap ing of things. Nothing escapes the analyt ical testing. Tyranny totters woefully and superstition is shaken Into ruins. Even long-cherished fancies are stormed at and are tested by wind and wave. It Is a splendid omen. Let the world's thought be awakened and, after matu-e deliberation, the consensus of the world's thought will not be far amiss. In such times many are apt to go to extremes. In order to appear intellectually brave, they will in fact be foolhardy and will stand on street corners and proclaim all the world except themselves to be creed hound, medieval, fossil. Others, in order to be shaping things, will declare them selves to be against all existing things and become anarchists and destructiontets. thinking: that in order to make the world better, we must smash everything, civil or religious. "The world Is eager for new things. It makes but little difference what a thing is. If it is plainly new. It will obtain a wide hearing. To many, whatever Is new seems advanced and progressive, merely because it Is new. It takes time to shape things and find out what will remain. Fashions pass away; truth abides. One sad result of every shaking process is that there are always some who can't bide the time, but at the first disturb ance their minds are filled with chaos; who can't hold to a course till the storm is over; who sink the ship to escape the tempest. "The -world has made progress. Gcd's laws have kept us from stagnat'ng. After even' shaking, the tried and tested things have been more precious to us. Things that can be shaken ought to be shaken, and the quicker the better. Er ror, wherever found, ought to fall, that the things that are to be depended upon may remain and that the things that re main may be depended upon. "After the centuries of terrific shaking through which we have come, we have n few things that defy the tests, for to this day they remain. Science, magnifi cent In its achievements, even science has hammered away, till it has settled pretty conclusively a few tUn's very few, however, when they are summed up. In National affairs, we have finally estab lished some things that shall remain forever. And In religious truth, there are some few things which th centuries have about settled. They remain, and have been so thoroughly tested that we may safely build our destiny upon them. "We have all been Interested in the re ligious census of Philadelphia, recently taken In one dav by the Sunday schools of that city. The results have as'on lhed the world.

Invisi ble, yet everywhere; manifest, fu'l of love for all mankind, even the sinful nd lost, not being willing that any should perish. God remains, and all the word Is fast coming to him. "Consciousness, will, conscience, the moral sense, the power of growth, the longings of our being, all tell us that we are more than the delicate work'ng of the brain and the splendid mechanism of the body. Men no longer say there Is nothing but matter: and some are going so far to the other extreme as to adopt the old Greek fancy that there is no mat ter, but all Is soul. The verdict of the candid world is that matter and soul both are true. The higher men ascend in their conceptions of God, In their esti mate of the nature and powe-s of the human soul and in their undcstardlng of the divine purpose which is guiding our life on earth, the more are they c:r taln of the Immortality of man. "Given God and the soul, then, duty remains. Duty Is one of the gigantic truths that cannot be shaken, and re mains to this day. Men may not care, men may not be aware, men may Ignore! but duty remains as perhaps the very greatest matter of our concern. Go where we may. duty Is there, and no true man will hush her voice. "As never before, the world" Is think ing of the Bible, and so much ado has been made about it that some have con cluded that there Is something dreadful tho matter whh it, and have perhaps consigned it to the things that have been shaken and do not remain. This theory of Inspiration or that may be shaken, as theories, man-made, have before been shaken, and this Interpretation or that of Genesis or of Isaiah or of Jonah, and this exposition of any part or that may be shaken, but the centuries" declare that the real word of God shall stand forever. The Biblo has stood the storm of time. Monasteries could not imprison it, the fires of the Inquisition could not destroy It, and today it Is cherished and revered as tho lamp to our feet and the guide to our path. "Another of the eternal verities that en dure is that Jesus is the saviour of men. He saves from selfishness, from worldll ness, from sin. Jesus was full of grace and truth, and so perfectly does he pre sent God's attributes in human life that we seo in him God manifest. Surely 4Gcd was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. "The North star still glitters in the heavens, a safe guide for every mariner. So, too, in God's firmament are these fire-tried star that glitter brightly, so that every earnest man may find his way. Godv soul, duty, Bible, Christ! They have guided others In all these years; they will guide to the haven all who follow." CHRISTIANITY AXD CIVILIZATIOX. Sermon 1j Rev, A. Ii. Harrier, at the Trinity Methodist Church. Rev. A. L. Hawley, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Church, East Side, yesterday morning preached on "Christianity and Civilization," the sermon being an ap peal in behalf of missions. He spoke from the text, "Other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors." In the course of his sermon, he said: "We scarce realize to what an extent we are indebted to the labors of others for the things and privileges we possess. The political liberties and rights we boast aro the fruitage of the labors of men since tribal union began. Those great hearts that strove with sword and pen even though they failed of their present purpose sowed the seed of Magna Charto and 19th century civilization. These are but the opening buds, not the ripening fruits of their labors. "Our homes, our schools and our learn ing are not our creations we are entered into other men's labors. Issus, Thermop ylae and Lcuctra; Vienna and Tours; JTun nymede and Naseby; Yorktqwn and Ap pomattox were fought for us. Men of other centuries and climes have bled and died for us, and so long as there are op pressed peoples and strong tyrannies we have the same grand privilege of being useful to the world that our forbear had. The only question Is, 'Will we rise to the splendor of our opportunities?' The foundations have been laid on the solid rocks of truth and Justice, yet tho mighty problems of balance, adjustment and sym metry still remain to be solved. "In farm and field. In home and shop the conveniences that are now necessities ara our heritage from the ages gone. What, Indeed. WOUld be our hnastrvl rlvllly.nJInn without the fruits of the labors of Watts, Stevenson. Howe, Mozart, Gutenberg. Caxton, Raphael, the Arabs, Chaldeans, Jews, Greeks and Romans? Our know ledge, arts and sciences have nearly all been handed down to us. We of today have improved on their form and added the result of our labors, bnt how little have we originated. We have been the recipients of grander things than the.a from men long 6lnce dead the knowledge of truth and life, as it is n Chr'st Jesus. This is the power that has unlocked the darkened recesses of man's mind and made our rapid advance and present day civilization possible. "Along the northern coasts of what is now France and Germany and In the British Isles dwelt degraded tribes of savages our ancestors. Those who had received the command 'Go. preach the rospel to every creature,' took their lives In their hands, and taught these tribes of him who came that all men might have life. They found them in barbaric degradation; but 'the entrance of thv word giveth light, and soon these very barbarians became the leaders of the world in knowledge, virtue and right. Yet all this they owe to others, who readily gave their gold. thMr lives and their talents to the Master's service. If the early Christians had not believed In for eign missions: had withheld their money and refused their service to a degraded and ignorant people, apparently sat'sfled with their barbaric lot. where todav would be the boasted Ang'o-Saxon race? Let China. India and the South Sea Is lands say. We ourselves are the grandest fruits- of Christian foreign missions, for only when Christ was preached among our ancestors did they begin that won derful advance that has made them the world's vanguard. Shame upon the Anglo. Saxon, who will not do good to others 'when he has been well done by! "Let us not fret or grow discouraged because the hundreds or millions of Asia do not acknowledge tho sway of the Car penter of Nazareth. Over 1700 years have elapsed since steady nnri Tnrictn t .-.lonarr work was begun among our a.n- wraiors. ana yet less than one-third of the Anglo-Saxons call him their King. "Our progress was slow so will theirs be; but already the light of civilization Is breaking over the far-away East fie harbinger of better things to come. Chris tianity and civilization mothsr and daugh terever hand In hand, are moving to the conquest. Let us do our part and help send the light that others brought to us." "ANTAGONISM, LAW OF KINGDOM Plnce Filled 1- Lavr In March of ProjjreKH. Rev. W. T. Wardle preached last night In Mlzpah Presbyterian Church, East Side, on "Antagonism, the Law of the Kingdom." The -text was, "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother." The sermon in part was as fol lows: "In the march of the centuries, war fills a large place. In Its path has fallen the weak and the strong. From its battle fields have sprung -the tlowers of a better day. The vantage ground of the present Is ours by reason of the struggles of the past. In the conflicts which have passed Christianity has played Its part, and in ceaseless struggle men aro learning tho lav. of the kingdom. Intolerant. Wf.rtt- selfisnness, directly antagonized Christ's' expucit teacmngs. He aimed his shafts, not In the air, but at root evils; expulsion Is seen to be possible by Implanting new principles. "Tho text Ls startling. How unnatural it sounds! Surc.lv for children In ho it variance with parents is to have 'an house aiviaea against ltseir.' But it ls natural. Wrong and right, darkness and light must antagonize each other. For right and wrong to harmnlzc this would be unna tural. But Jesus was the 'Prince of Peace.' Surely his mission of peace Is discordant with this antagonism. Peace ls the final end, but that peace comes how? By neg lect of pardon, nurture of sin, by saying. 'Peace'? No, no. Christ Is first King of Righteousness, then Prince of Peace. Here Is the heart of Christ shown. He comes, not as a destructive reformer, save as he came to remove evil. His chlefest demand ls for faith dependence, not on self, but God. Hence In the presence of sin an tagonism must arise or evil Is not sur rendered. "See this law In operation: Christ de mands for hlmself our supreme affection. We cannot love parents too much; we do not love them enough, but for himself h: asks more. He demands decision, a choice between the vll lesser good and highest good. He deserves that which he de mands. He Tvill not force love; he does seek to win it by what he has done to re deem us. "And this claim which he makes Is abso lute. He will take no less than your best love. If he were but man, such claim would be supreme folly and egotism; but when made by Son of God It evidences wondrous condescension. Not as of old, In martyr struggles, ls this antagonism met, but 'tis here and now, just as real and intense, within our own hearts. The law operates within us, victory ls possible not "by our power; it comes only In the help which he gives to his trusting child." Retirement of Jnlin Arthur. PHILADELPHIA. March IS. B. C. Cheney, husband of Julia Arthur, tho actress, tonight announced her retirement from the stage fcr the season, and per haps permanently. All dates have been canceled and the company disbanded. Mr. Cheney says: "If In the future Mrs. Cheney has the desire to re-enter her professional career, I shall have no ob jection, although I shall only consent to short seasons of 10 weeks or so. If she does play again, it will be only in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, and in only such standard plays as 'Romeo and Juliet and 'As You Like It. " Pianos Organs. Wiley B. Allen Co. OF EAST SIDE AFFAIRS NEW ROAD TO BE OPENED NEAR WOODSTOCK. Various Improvements Going- For ward That Will Benefit the Com munityThe Political Feld. There are good prospects that the road from the Evangelical Church, at Wood stock, will be opened and finally improved through to the Section Line road. It is now practically open for tho entire dis tance, except about 300 feet. The road Is open and dedicated through the Judy Tract, and the deed has been recorded for the road, but there ls a space of about 200 feet at the north side of the tract that is still closed. Also at the south side of the tract there is a strip that Is closed, the last being a portion of Richard Will lams' tract, which extends across the Powell Valley road. Mr. Williams says he is ready to dedicate the road through his strip when the right-of-way has been secured through the other strip. As the owners of the latter live in California, it has taken some time to get word to them, but the dedication ls expected soon, when the road through the two strips will be opened. That will give an open road through from Woodstock and the sur roundings to the Section Line road, which will prove a great advantage to the en tire section In the southeast. The Wood stock Improvement Association has the matter In hand, and will try to get this road improved. Belmont and East "Water Street. East Morrison street has been open the present week, after having been closed for a year, and the amount of travel over it has been very large. Indeed. Tho re opening of the street is a great relief at this time, as the Morrison-street bridge carries, besides its own, the main por tion of the travel that uses tho Madison street bridge. A good many people on the East Side are wondering what will be done with Belmont and East Water street roadways, especially the latter, as their condition warrants the apprehension that they must soon be repaired, or closed up. There ls much discussion of the ad visability of changing the charter so that roadways and bridges, when once Improved by property-owners, may be kept up by general or special tax The owners of property along these streets declare that they will permit the streets to be closed before they will pay for their repairs, and they succeeded In getting the last pro ceedings for their repairs stopped, after the contract had been let. From all in dications, it will be almost impossible to get any of these roadways repaired In tho usual way of assessing the property, and there arc many who believe that East Morrison roadway ls the last that will be repaired under the present proceedings. It is the opinion of the City Engineer that a change in the procedure is bound to come. Political Notes. The Sellwood Republican Club will come together in Firemen's Hall, next Wednes day night for the purpose of adopting a constitution and by-laws. Roosevelt Republican Club, of the Eighth Ward, will have a registration meeting one week from next Thursday nicht. The president has made arrangements with County Clerk Holmes for keeping the registration office open that night It ls desired that all In the Eighth Ward who havo not registered will make it an object to go with the crowd to the Court house and get the matter off their hands. Thcro are many workmen at the Wolff & Zwlcker Iron Works, Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s mill, and the Southern Pacific shops who have not yet registered, and all these are specially urged to take advantage of this opportunity. The time ls Thursday evening, Maroh 29. It will be called the Eighth Ward registration evening. All the clubs in that ward are Invited to par ticipate at that time. The Alblna Republican Club of th Tenth Ward, is now reorganized, with a now set or omcers. The club has leased Gomez Hall, on Russell street, midway between Upper and Lower Alblna, where It will have quarters through to the end of the campaign. More benches have been placed in the ample hall, and It can easily accommodate 700 people. Meetings will be held every Wednesday evening. WoodHtoclc Improvement Association The Woodstock Improvement Associa tion, which has several Improvements and road matters under consideration, post poned its last meeting, which was to have taken place March 10, to some future time. It was regarded as unwise at that time for any public gathering to be held. In view ot the smallpox scare In that neighborhood, but now that all danger has subsided, a meeting will be held soon. The association will push improvements In all directions in the southeast in the matter of roads, and Improved car service and cycle paths. There is encouragement from the outlook that much may be accom plished along these lines. Eant Side Notes. The East Side fire companies were called to the residence of W. H.

PLANNING THEIR VACATIONS Local Ministers Arrange for Snmmer Outinfrs. Although Summer ls a long way off. the balmy Spring weather of the last week has brought the consideration of the Summer's vacation to the attention of many people. Among the hardest-worked of mental laborers aro the ministers ot the gospel, and how to put their brief period of rest to the best advantage is a serious problem to them at the present time. Dr. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, on Twelfth and Al der streets, has a pretty little cottage overlooking the Columbia River, near Fisher's Landing, where he will stay for two months. Although the Doctor In tends to enjoy all the pleasures of a rustic life, he has also apportioned con siderable time for studies on new lines. Rev, William S. Gilbert, of the Calvary Presbyterian, who served with the Sec ond Oregon Volunteers as Chaplain, will enjoy the extreme heat of Southwestern Ohio. The Chaplain's people, whom he has not seen- for eight years, live in Dayton, and he will accordingly make an extended stay there ot about six week3. A trip. East is also Intended by Rev. John E. Simpson. Tector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. To what specific lo cality Mr. Simpson has not yet decided, but it will probably be a sight-seeing tour and -will take in as much as can be visited in a month. Rev. H. W. Kellogg. D. D., is now recuperating at Shasta Springs. Cal. Dr. Kellogg's work this Winter has been very wearing, so he decided on this trip, which will occupy eight or 10 days. He and Mrs. Kellogg intend to take a Summer vaca tion of a month or so, but Just where has not been decided. Dr. T. L. Eliot of the Unitarian Church, is awaiting advices from the East, which he "must receive before he arranges his Summer's plans. Dr. Jacob Bloch, rabbi of the Temple Beth Israel, will vacate his position on September 1. His future work has not been decided upon. Archbishop Christ'e and the other Catholic clergy In the city are exceedingly bus-, and expect to have no time for a vacation, though thoUme is too far off to decide definitely. ADVERTISED.

It OpcratcH Where Wnter Cannot Be Had With Sufficient Force for Hydraulic 3Ilnina-. A new method of working certain placer claims that Is being introduced Into Ore gon, seems very promising. This is the Australian or New Zealand dredge sys tem. It has long been In use In those progressive gold districts, and at tho pres ent time It Is said that 200 dredges are being worked on one New Zealand, creek. Since November last, the dredse has been trial in Southern Oregon, and ls reported a positive success. "W. J. Harris, of Spo kane, is the proprietor of the dredge, and the claims where it ls being worked. George M. Williams, now at the Imperial, has been operating the big piece of ma chinery, and is In the city making addi tions of a more substantial character than certain parts first used. What the dredge promises for the gold output of Oregon la best calculated when It is known that it Is Intended for use where hydraulic power cannot bo had. Every miner knows there are innumer able fine placer claims that cannot be worked for lack of water, or even on the shore of rivers, where there Is no fall to give power. Often claims have been worked in the bed of a gulch or ravine until below where water could ba used, and there abandoned, even when dirt showed fine color, because it was not rich enough to Justify hoisting to the sur face and there washing it. The old Sailor diggings of the Waldo mining district, where Mr. Williams Is operating tho dredge, illustrates this splendidly. These were among the very first. If not the first, placer discoveries In Oregon, dating back In the early ECs. On both sides of the main gulch tne ravines were rifled of their gold, for the hills were steep and hydraulic pressure was good. Gold was discovered In the bottom of the big gulch, or valley, and was successfully mined for a few feet in, depth. What 's known as the Chinese Derrick Claim, at the foot of Sailor Gulch, was a verltabJb pocket of gold. The Chinese kept going down until they could not use water, then constructed a derrick for lifting dirt to the surface and worked this until down about FO feet, when It became too expen sive. Mr. Harris acquired the property, sunk a shaft In the bottom of a 50-foot pit. and, at an additional depth of SO feet did not find bedrock, but the eamo character of soil through which the Chi nese had passed. Now he ls using the dredge with marked succcks, and will work the entire space of several hundred feet, all over, and go at least 50 feet be low where tho Chinese penetrated. The dredge being used Is approximately 100 feet long. Is a boat. In fact, and has to work In water. A pit is sunk, filled with water, and then the dredge com mences eating away tbt side or pulveriz ing and bringing up the bottom. It does not require a constant stream of water. After the pit -is filled, that ls sufficient, as Its own pumps give It tho desired current, and the same water may be used over and over. Gravel and sand Is dumped nt a convenient distance by means of pipes. The dredge will operate 27 feet below water and remove a bank 50 fet above. Mr. Williams has been handling 1500 cubic yards of earth daily, working 24 hours, but in ground easily handled can lncrea the amount to 2000 cubic yards. In the most favorable ground, the Australia dredges handle with profit dirt paying 2 cents a cubic yard, and when It Is re membered that In the claim now being worked at Sailor Gulch there are strata ranging from 20 cents to $16 03 a cubic yards, the vast possibilities of the dredge may be seen. The earth of this claim has mainly been far more difficult than can be worked by hydraulic power, some ot It being pure clay, some cement gravel and boulders with much cement. Th's ls another of the moBt important features of the dredge. With Its powerful pulver iser, it can force Its way through clay that will effectually resist water and the most difficult of all combinations for hy draulics, cement gravel. The principle of the dredge Is simple. After earth has been stirred up by tho big pulverizer, it is picked up by buckets op erating on a belt, raised from the water 17 feet above deck, dumped Into a hopper, which opens Into the trommel (a big hol low cylinder set at an angle of 30 degrees) and- forced through the trommel by means of strong" water pressur. and a spiral ap paratus on the interior that further aids the pulverizing work. The surface ot the trommel Is perforated with nve-elght-lnch holes, through which the fine sand and all of the gold ls forced into sluices, where It passes over what Is known as Hungarian riffles. These save the gold with the great est care, but to be sure, the material com ing from the trommel at the lower end and the sand washing over the Hungarian rimes, all must go over a long series of cariboo riffles as a double assurance. Hardly any gold is secured in the latter, proving the Hungarian riffles do their work. Water pressure is secured by means of a 14-Inch rotary pump, having a capacity of .2SS0 gallons a minute, which can be in creased to 4320 gallons a minute by In creasing the revolutions to 120. Earth is raised by the buckets at the rate of about five yards a minute, each bucket contain ing about one yard, and their rate of de livery being, five per minute. Speed can be increased to 10 or 12 buckets a minute. A 100 horse-power boiler, 75 horse-power engine, two 5x5 winch engines for handling the ladder, a dynamo for lighting the ct. tire dredge by electricity, is the motor strength, but another 25 horse-power en gine will be aded to run an eight-'nch centrifugal pump, which will handle about eight per cent of the gravel. The dredge Is being watched closoly by mining men interested In placer d'gglngs, as It may mean the eolution of the no water problem that has Impaired so much good Oregon property. LECTURED ON PREJUDICE. Rev. P. C. Yorkc Defended the Holy Catholic Chnroh. Rev. Father Peter C. Torke. of St. Pe ter's Church. San PranpiM 7not.,-i i,,., night at St. Mary's Cathedral on "Preju dice." No admission fee was charged, and an immense auaience listened to the dis course, with the closest attention. The remarks of the clergyman were more in the nature of a sermon than a lecture, and in them, the speaker gave for a prac tical application of th irnnr. nn4 ,.wn. of general prejudice, the calumnies that ne saia naa ocen uttered against the Holy Catholic Church. The rllernnroa -n-o founded on the Biblical storv of tho Christ, who came Into the world : n mn among men; a man whose earthly life was devoted In making tho blind to see, the dumb to speak, and the lame to walk; a man who healed the sick, cured the lep ers, restored life to the dead, and preached the gospel to the poor. One would imag ine, the speaker said, that such a life as this would be free from the mlsrnnpocont- atlons of enemies; yet the Lord was re viled. Enemies called him a winebihher and said that he cast out "devils In the name of Beelzebub. This was prejudice, and it Is well known that no prejudice is so deep and lasting as rellcious nrelu- dlce. "This prejudice." Father Torke contin ued, "was the basis of all the actions of the Pharisees. Their rellelon w, rnnflnAH to a small corner of the earth, and to comparatively few people. Christ cama to them as an interruption, for he broke down the walls between the Jews and the Gentiles." The sneaker reviewed the triiimnVinnt growth of thechurch in spite of all preju dice and a multitude of obstacles, and then talked at length on the- prejudice that existed against the' Catholic Church. Among other things he said: "Outside of this community, outside the Holy Catholic Church. Is a body of people, nominally Christians, who take a rather strange view. They say that on the out side the work and ways of the church seem fair, but ambition and not sincerity ls the reason for these things. They say the Catholics want power and only desire to erect monuments to their own ambi tion. They say of the priests: 'These men have a semblance of piety, but at heart they are designing. It Is nil outward show; fair without, but foul within. Their deeds are evil.' "They say that Catholics are afraid of education and desire to keep the masses of thp people in Illiteracy; that we op pose public schools and desire to keep all the children Inside our own schools; that this ls not because we favor education, but for the reason that we want to hold a heavy hand on the people. They say we are strong among the poor, because we have robbed the poor and our object Is to crush out national and Intellectual life. "We look in vain to the Christian churches outside the Catholic Church for the tens of thousands of devoted women who have given up their lives to work for the poor and afflicted in the hospitals and In the slums: we look In vain for the magnificent schools; we look In vain for the hospitals. If there are large charity hospltals and splendid schools outside the Catholic Church, they are supported by the state, by taxes that are paid by every body. When dangerous epidemics break out. where are the workers? They come from the Catholic Church. These people do not give themselves to this" work for a few months or a few years, but for life, and when once enlisted they die in the harness." e PUBLIC FUNERAL SUNDAY. Oregon Volunteer Dend Will Be Bnr led "With Ilonors. Next Sunday the public funeral of Ore gon's soldier dead from the Philippines will take place in Portland. Wednesday morning the remainder of the bodies re ceived at the Presidio and not forwarded to parents will arrive in this city. A de tail of the Guard will be at the depot upon their arrival to escort them to the Armory, where they will lie In state until Sunday. During this period there will be a guard over tho bodies night and day. Sunday morning or afternoon, according to the time arranged, the great public service at the Armory will be held, which will be made a state affair. The funeral train will proceed from there to the ceme tery, where the volunteers will bury their dead comrades with military rites. The procession will be a large one. consisting of tho local companies of the National Guard, under the command of Major Ju bltz; many civic organizations that have expressed a desire to participate, the state officials, and also those of Portland and such other Oregon towns as care to attend. General Summers has been notified by Colonel Long, Depot Quartermaster at tho Presidio, that 10 bodies are to be shipped this morning. The names of the dead are: Michael P. Crowley, Company D; Bert J. Clarke, Company A; George Elchelmer, Company G; James Kelly, Company G; William McElwaln, Company H; R. A. Odell. Company L; Robert D. Hoffman,. Company M; Henry Payne, Company M; Charles R. Rubart. Com pany L; L. V. Strawderman, Company L. The bodies of three have already been re ceived, which will make the total for In terment In the military plot 13. Over these the state will perform the last rites betokening the esteem In which the soldier dead are held. Tuesday evening there will be a large meeting In the Armory to finish arrange ments now in the hands of various com mittees. AH of the "Volunteers are espe cially urged to be present, as the last instructions for them will be issued there, and all the duties of the Volunteers in tho services over their dead comrades decided upon. The various committees out will make report, and it ls hoped that their respective functions have been fully performed. General Beebe and Major Jubltz -were in conference yesterday, preparing work for the Guard. They will meet with the Volunteers Tuesday night and tender the services of the Guard. In every manner adding dUgnity and reverence to the oc casion. FINE LOG CHUTE. Benson Company Spend 9-1000 In Improvements. The Benson Logging & Lumbering Com pany, which has a camp near Oak Point, has a chute on the bluff about a mile and a half below that place, down which it I has sent 75.000,000 feet of logs during tho past five years. This is rather trying on a chute, and It has required fixing and changing several times. As the company has at least 75,000,000 feet more of logs to send down the chute, it has Just had it put In thorough order at an expense of J4000, and It ls now the greatest chute on the Coast It Is lined with railroad Iron, and in some nlace? with steel nlates.

At first it was arranged so that the logs Jumped into the river end first, and manyl of them would be split into kindllrg, and! when one came down on another lying ir the water, it was broken in two as If itj were a lath. This caused conslderab'e loss, and the style of the chute was changed from time to time till now it Is just right, and so substantial that noth ing can shake it. and the company ex pects to pass the remaining 75,00,000 feet of logs down It without splitting or brea ing any of them. COMING ATTRACTIONS, "Toll Gate Inn." At the Marquam Grand tomorrow anC Wednesday nights will be presented foJ the first time in this city a play calle "Toll Gate Inn." which, from all accounts has been meeting with big success in th- East. The critics all speak in the hlghesi terms of the play, and the production thai has been given It. which Is said to bd very elaborate. The play ls built upoij a story of Continental days, when thd Green Mountain Boys men every one ol them fought the Redcoats. The phd has Its mission, not that It stirs up olt animosities, but that It surrounds tin memory of our Colonial sires and dame; with a romance, a realism which canno be obtained by the mere reading of his tories. The story of the "Toll Gate Inn" was written by Langdon McCormlck. I Is a cleverly woven theme, with a lovi motive running through It. Love and pa triotism struggle at times for the mas tery of the heart and the conscience, bu the conclusion Is happy In that neither L sacrificed. Knnnus Exposition in 1004. TOPEKA, Kan., March 18.
