LETTER TO PUPILS.
Major Sean "Writes of Patriotism
to the HIeh School.
Major Alfred F. Sears was invited to
make a memorial address today to the
pupils of the High School. Being unable
to attend, he wrote an open letter, as fol
lows: My Dear Friends: The Grand Army of
the Republic has detailed me. among
others, to visit you on this so sweetly
solemn day of all the year to the hearts
of our countrymen, the day when we are
accustomed to lay living flowers In loving
memory on the graves of men who faced
the enemies of their country on the battle
field; and now consecrated by National
custom, to the decoration of the resting
places of all the Nation's dead.
It Is a good thing to lay aside the ordi
nary cares of life ono day In the beau
tiful resurrection season of the year, and
make a precious offering on the altar of
blessed memories.
It does not demand the exercise of elo
quence to kindle the fires of patriotism
in any human heart- If It did, orators
would be sent you, and not old soldiers.
For patriotism, the love of country. Is
not a virtue until It has been raised out
of the condition of a simple Instinct, be
yond, selfishness of natural affection, to
the sublime virtue height of public spirit.
This I have said many times and written
as often for the lesson of hearers and
readers, and have illustrated It before,
as I will now to you, who aro learning
the lessons of life.
You have known a grown child, boy or
girl, able to work, spending the time, a
loafer or worse, depending for subsistence
on hard-working parents; doing nothing
to relieve the burden of their lives and ex
acting all the comforts of home, some
times even insolent to the mother. But
let her be Insulted, the child Is ready to
fight for her to the death. This child has
exhibited natural affection with the cour
age of a soldier. Another one, finding the
parents unable to cope with the difficulties
of life, devotes time and work to their
comfort; foregoing the pleasures of mar
riage and an Independent home with a
growing family, loving hands make ready
sacrifice to see the old ones happy. Here
natural affection has risen to the dignity
of filial piety. Now, what natural affec
tion is to filial piety, that, patriotism is
to public spirit.
There is a good deal of hurrahing and
noisy blather over our "brave soldiers,,"
who go to wars and defend their flags, as
If armies are masses of bulldogs. The
truth Is, that what Is called "courage"
Is the lowest and least quality of the true
soldier. In our wars the conscience of
the country has been roused; men who had
no thought of blood took the sword and
rifle because" of that passionate love of
country which had become a religious
devotion to the public weal and was ready
to sacrifice all personal interest to the
cause of the Nation.
Every citizen, however humble, is in a
position to cultivate and manifest this
spirit of devotion to Ms country, which
Is known as "public spirit," and which
Is very essential in time of peace. While
hurrahing for the flag, public spirit makes
the flag worthy of the hurrahs; every
child and every grown man and woman
has a part to do In the eternal campaign
of learning and teaching this lesson.
Public spirit will be manifested In some
very trifling affairs of life that seem to
have no bearing on public Interests. The
cultivation of a correct conscience in busi
ness transactions elevates the public char
acter and Its reputation. Take an Illus
tration so simple as to be almost vulgar.
You will see a grocer's sign, which tells
the public that in this place "70-cent tea
is sold for 40 cents." Now this means
that either one or two deceits are floating
In that business and are tolerated by' the
public conscience. If the article Is worth
but 40 cents, the higher charge Is an ex
tortion. If It be worth 70 cents, then
there Is fraud in the article sold at the
lower figure.
Probably the greatest demand of the
time Is honesty In the citizen's relation
to the public When a conscience sensi
tive to deceit is combined with generous
regard for the rights and welfare of others,
public spirit has possession of the citizen
and only then.
He who throws an orange peel or ba
nana skin on the sidewalk, or in defiance
of duty rides a wheel there. Is a traitor.
He Is betraying the confidence of the com
munity which trusts him with citizenship,
he is In disregard of the interests and
safety o his fellow-citizens and Is trifling
with their lives. It Is a very little thing,
but indicates character, which Is also
shown by him who removes the danger
from the public path.
I recall the time when an American boy
thought he could not be President if he
told a He. And this nobility was largely
due to the example of Washington, so
universally influencing the youth of the
country, that a distinguished French au
thor has said: "The Americans are the
most honest people in the world." It Is
a sad rationalism that would destroy the
faith In the legend of Washington's heroic
honesty, which. If a superstition, is elevat
ing'. Sad is it for a people to degrade
their gods.
Let me Impress on you another duty as
citizens that of giving the right hand of
fellowship to those who have opposed us
in the Civil War. as in every other. Civil
ized, nations go Into wars in the full faith
of Justice In their cause. The war over,
there must be no bitterness. I will lay
flowers on the grave of the Confederate
soldier with the same reverent tenderness
that I give my comrade In arms. They
fought magnificently; they were Ameri
cans. I ask you to cherish the true American
spirit of religious toleration. A few years
ago Portland defeated a candidate for the
mayoralty because he was a Jew. The
candidates were certainly worthy citizens,
but the Jew was the most highly cultured
of them all on orator, a poet, and a
scholar: a good business man, withal:
identified with" the Interests of the city and
country. Citizens did not hesitate to de
clare the ground of their opposition to this
man. They "said: "He Is a Jew!" To
me. a pagan. It sounded strange to hear
a people who had deified a Jew, and said
then- doily prayers to him, condemn a
citizen because his ancestors wpr the
countrymen of Jesus of Nazareth. If
you examine the lists of those who con
tribute to the support of the free public
library of Portland and its "Board of Public
Charities, you will discover that more
members of the Jewish "persuasion aid in
the life of those Institutions than of anv
Christian denomination in our city, anil
make less use of, their proceeds. They
are our most public-spirited citizens.
Finally, I invite your attention to an ob
servation by President Eliot, of Harvard
University, who declares that "the Ameri
cans have made five great contributions to
civilization, viz.. the practice of. arbitra
tion In place of war. the increase of wide
religious toleration, the safe development
of manhood suffrage, and. fifth, the diffu
sion of well-being among the population
In general." President Eliot holds that
these contributions are characteristic of
our institutions, and in his opinion will
be held In grateful remembrance by man
kind for all time, for they are distinct
contributions- to -civilization.
Let us work together, my young friends,
in the light of our American advantages
to roako ours the greatest Cation on the
face of the earth.
Receive this letter as a loving token from
an old High School boy.

IN THE SEVERAL COURTS
COXTROYERSY CONCERNING A
SCHOOL-LAND "TRANSACTION.
Mr. Mary X. Mmaly Se T. N. CmU

ters Cemrt Notes
A controversy concerning a school-land
transaction Is the Issue in a suit pend
ing in the State Circuit Court, in which
Mary N. Munly is plantlff. and N. T. Col
let defendant. The papers were served
on Collet by Sheriff Huntington, of Baker
County.
Mrs. Munly, In her complaint, states
that she was the owner of a certificate
Issued by the State Board of Land Com
missioners for the east half of section
36. township 9 south, range 35 west, and
in January. 1S&9. placed the same In the
hands of Frank O'Neill, as agent and
broker, to find a purchaser for the timber
on the land. O'Neill, it Is alleged, with
out plaintiffs knowledge, associated him
self In the deal with Collet
The plaintiff asserts that she Informed
O'Neill that she had defaulted in the
payment of Interest due on the certificate,
and by reason thereof it was subject to
cancellation, and says she further told

him she desired to make a speedy sale of
the timber, so that she could meet the
defaulted payments, and Collet she avers,
became aware of this Information.
Collet It Is alleged, while employed
through O'Neill as agent, conceived a
fraudulent scheme to procure the cancel
laUon of the certificate of the plaintiff,
and to procure the same for himself, and
accordingly, on March 5, 1900, applied to
the Board of Land Commissioners for
the purchase of the land, and obtained a
certificate for It March 12. Mrs. Munly
avers that she first became apprised of
what had ocourred April 23. She states
that Collet Is Insolvent that the land Is
valued at J2000, and asks that he be re
strained from the sale of the certificate
by the court.
In his answer Collet admits possession,
but gives a somewhat different account
of the affair. He alleges that in March,
1900, one,M. A. Nixon had defaulted In
the payment of the Interest and that the
cancellation was made by the State Board
of Land Commissioners at their own In
stance, and he caused the certificate to
be Issued to him, and Collet says It all
came about In this manner:
"In the month of January, 1900, O'Neill
asked me to find a purchaser for a piece
of property near Sumpter, but did not
say who was the owner of It I wrote
to the Register of the Land Office at La
Grande and ascertained that It was de
scribed as school land, and I then wrote
to the School Land Commissioners at
Salem and learned that It had been sold
to M. A. Nixon, and that he had de
faulted In the payment of the Interest
Believing Mr. O'Neill had made a mis
take, I asked N. C Richards to apply
for the land and he furnished me the
money and told me to apply for It In
my own name."
Collet therefore avers that he Is the
owner of the land, and that Mr. Richards
has an equitable Interest In It He de
nies that it Is worth 12000, or more than
JS00.
Divorce Suits.
Claris H. Thompson has filed suit,against
A. F. Thompson for a divorce on the
ground of cruel treatment "The parties
were married in this city, November S,
1S99, and the plaintiff alleges that two
weeks thereafter the defendant laid vio
lent hands upon her and choked her until
she was black in the face and threatened
to kill her. On May 19. 1900, at their
home In South Portland, Mrs. Thompson
avers that her husband became angry at
her without cause, and threw her down
and choked her, and called her vile
names, and threatened her life In case she
undertook to leave him. The plaintiff
says the defendant possesses an ungov
ernable temper, and she believes her life
Is in danger if she remains with him
longer. She asks permission to resume her
maiden name, Lehman.
J. R. Conroy asks for a dissolution of
the matrimonial bonds existing between
him and Lizzie Conroy on account of de
sertion In 18S9. The litigants were mar
ried at San Francisco, In 1S77.
Elizabeth Con! on seeks to obtain a
divorce from Francis Conlon, and to be
restored to her former name, Lyman. Mrs.
Conlon avers that she was married to
the defendant at the Dalles In September,
1S92, and says he forced her to leave him
at Cascade Locks In January, 1SS3. and
has not since provided a home for her.
and she has earned her own support since.
In 1S96 the plaintiff states the defendant
induced her to return to him and promised
to provide her with a home, and she gave
up her employment to comply with his re
quest, but he refused to keep his agree
ment, and declined to receive her and or
dered her to shift for herself. Mrs. Con
lon alleges that her husband owns 160
acres of land near Cascade Locks, and
she asks for one-third of It, for alimony
and attorney's fees.
Jacob Bortzer has begun suit against
Grace Bortzer for a divorce, and names
Carl Bobbins as co-respondent. The par
ties were married In Portland, February
IS, 1900.

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Exercise at the "WllIIama-AvcnHe
School Barghiri t Work.
At Williams-Avenue School yesterday
afternoon a number of the old soldiers
and invited guests listened to a, very
beautifully illustrated lecture on Abraham
Lincoln, together with many National
poems.- The entertainment was given In
a classroom on the lower door, the guests
occupying chairs along the walls, while
the pupils who to 3k part were seated at
the desks. The stereoptlcon, operated
with an electric light, was "ueed, and the
pictures were strown on n canvas screen
about 12 feet square, thus making the
pictures large and striking. Professor
Pratt gave the lecture that went along
with the scenes. Beginning with & largo
picture of the great commoner, the dif
ferent phases of the life of Lincoln were
shown down to the Cabinet meeting
where the Emancipation Proclamation was
considered. The log cabin In which he
was born was thrown on the screen and
explained. Then Lincoln was shown as
a -woodchopper and a flatboatman on the
Ohio River. Ono very striking scene was
the debate with Douglas. Professor
Pratt explained clearly all these scenes
and their connection with tfie history of
the country. The picture of the Gettys
burg celebration, with Lincoln delivering
his famous speech, closed that part of,
the programme, the pupils repeating the
address. Then came a succession of pa
triotic pictures, and as they appeared the
pupils recited In concert well-known poetic
selections. The exhibition closed by the
singing of "My Old Kentucky Home," as
the striking pictures of 'negro life wore
thrown on the screen. This part of the
entertainment was particularly effective.
"America," Illustrate'd, was the last.
D. P. Thompson, one of the Directors,
was present and on Invitation made a few
remarks, ""in which he said that he re
garded the stereoptlcon In the schoolroom
one of the finest helps that had yet been
Introduced, for the reason that the pic
tures leave a lasting Impression on the
mind of the pupils. He said that he rec
ognized the reality of the negro scenes
shown, for when a boy In the Southland
he. too. had witnessed Just such events as
h3d been shown In the pictures. Professor
Pratt said In dismissing the guests that
they had been witnessing what took place
every dny In the recitation-room. The
veterans and others present were delight
ed with the exhibition, and declared that
It was the flnost and most effective enter
tainment of the sort that they had ever
seen.
House Rootled.
While absent from the city Saturday
the home of Mrs. Laura T. Mutch, for
merly Mrs. McDonald, near the corner
of East Burnslde street and Union ave
nue, was entered by a side window and
robbed. The screen over the window on
the north side of the hou; was removed
and the window raised. The house was
occupied by Mrs. Mutch's two children
and a young woman, but they were not
disturbed, and did not know that the
houe was entered. Two watch chains, a
gold berry spoon and a .rold ring, prized
very highly by Mrs. Mulch, and several
small articles are missing.
Woodlaivn Cottage Entered.
The home of Joseph Pellant at Wood
lawn, during the absence of the family at
church was entered by burglars Sunday
evening. On the return of Mr. Pellant
and family they found that the house had
been thoroughly ransacked and 527 50
taken. The money had been carefully hid
In a bureau, but the burglar had no dif
ficulty In finding It. Residents of Wood
lawn are mystified over the burglary,
as no suspicious characters have been
seen In that section for a long time, and
they cannot account for the robbery-

PRUNEGROWERS TO MEET
"WIIiI, PERXAXEXT ORGANIZATION
BE EFFECTED f'
Directors to Meet Jase 5 and Stock
holders Jhbo 9 Gist of the Pres
ent Movement.
Tho meeting of the directors of the tem
porary organization of the Cured Fruit
Association of the Pacific Northwest will
be held on Tuesday, June 5, and the stock
holders' meeting Wednesday, June 6, at
the office of the State Board of Horticul
ture, 246 Washington street It Is hoped
and expected that the prunegrowers will
be here at that time, as the permanent
organization of the association depends
upon their presence.
H. E. Dosch says In this connection, for
himself and other officers of the temporary
organization, that they do not feel like
talking too much about It. lest they be
charged with 'booming It for their own
personal gain, but as new directors are to
be elected from the 15 districts, who In
turn select all the officers of the perma
nent organization, he can speak simply as
a prunegrower.
He said: "The first question to be
asked Is, "Are we ready, and do we want
an organlzatlonr Before the partial fail
ure of the Fellenberg prune crop every
body seemed enthuslatlc, but now the ma
jority have become discouraged and in
different, but It may be as President Mil
ler so aptly termed it 'possibly we have
not suffered enough yet; we may have to
sell our prunes a few years more at a loss
before we come to our senses.
"The directors In the various districts
have worked hard, notably In Southern
Oregon, Marion County, Yakima Valley
and Vancouver districts, and they report
from 75 to SO per cent of the acreage sub
scribed, and I regret to be unable to say
the same for all districts. We will have
a good many more prunes than first an
ticipated, for It turns out that most Fel
lenberg orchards have from 15 to 20 per
cent, and all those on high hill lands
and plateaus have a full crop, which
means possibly 200 to 250 cars. Add to this
350 cars of French prunes, and you have
this year's output In the face of a large
prune crop In Bulgaria, Servla, Hungary.
France and California, and a promising
large apple crop throughout the United
States, what will be the consequence. If
organization falls? Everybody will want
to sell first and get whatever the buyer
is willing to pay, but the consumer will
have to pay Just as much and the profits
go where?
"As I stated at a prunegrowers meet
ing a few weeks ago, while at Omaha,
two years ago, which Is one of the largest
dried fruit distributing centers In Amer
ica, I found Tipon Inquiry that prunes were
selling In 25-pound boxes. In 50-box lots,
at 10 cents, and in smaller sizes In 50
pound boxes at 8 cents per pound, and
were retailing at 12 to 15 cents per pound,
and yet at that very time prunes were
selling at 2 to 3 cents In Oregon, and. as
It costs only 1 cent per pound to lay them
Into Omaha, It seems a complete answer
as to whether we want an organization or
not
"I am of the opinion that the growers
ought to hava a share of the difference
of 5 cents per pound between Oregon and
the East. All the larger dealers operat
ing on this Coast are willing to pay the
growers a living profit, hence their readi
ness and willingness to enter Into con
tract with an association to buy all their
products, as long as they are assured a
certain figure, to be maintained through
out the season, so no one can buy at a
less figure than themMlves; but they will
not and cannot deal that way with all the
Individuals. California has over SO per
cent, and will organize the coming week.
The entire matter now rests with the
growers themselves. The plans and de
tails of the organlzaUon have been thor
oughly explained, and It remains for them
to decide: Do we want an organization
and get remunerative prices for our
goods, or not?
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"The EvTl Eye.'
Beginning with a matinee tomorrow, also
tomorrow and Thursday nights, the at
traction at the Marquam Grand will be
Charles H. Yale's spectacular production
of "The Evil Eye." The sale of seats be
gan yesterday morning.
Nid and Nod are at the head of the last
graduating class In that Yale college of
Innocent pleasure, furious fun and fanciful
folly, known as Charles H. Yale's produc
tion of "The Evil Eye; or The Merry
Mishaps of Nid and the Weird Wonderful
Wanderings of Nod." If there be any
who did not see It during the extremely
successful career in many of the principal
cities of the country last season, it is only
necessary to state that It embraces all
the most popular forms of stage dlvertlse
ment spectacle, music, ballet, eccentric
dancing, songs, acrobats, gymnastic, ath
letics, grotesque clowning, all combined In
an entirely successful effort to keep the
audience In continuous transit between
fun. laughter, admiration, marvel and ap
plause. Indeed, It Is said that "The Evil
Eye" keeps the audience about as busy as
the actors, for all forms and manifesta
tions of approval engage the pleasant at
tention of the spectators quite as inces
sanUy as the excessively rapid action of
the play does the actors.
"The Tyranny of Tears.
There have been many reasons for view
ing with more than ordinary pleasure and
much gratification the success of Charles
Frohman's distinguished star, John Drew,
in "The Tyranny of Tears," to be pre
sented at the Marquam. Grand Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, June 5 and 6.
Any play which has Mr. Drew in the
central role Is bound to be wholesome In
tbemo, morally healthy and refined in at
mosphere. This actor has never disap
pointed his admirers in these respects. If
anything, however, the qualities named
are most agreeably accentuated in Had
don Chambers' comedy of temperament
with the added magnets of a very Inter
esUng story, masterful skill In construc
tion, faithful character portraiture, a lit
erature that Is eminently satisfying and
altogether ear-dellghtlng a joy to the cul
tured mind and taste; and a bit of an
unobtrusive sermonlc tendency that seta
folk thinking and looking at their neigh
bors, leading to comment and discussion
of the right kind. It Is good to know,
too that Mr. Drew has never been better
served with opportunities for the display
of his clear-cut art, and it Is freely ad
mitted that never has he been seen to
greater advantage than as Mr. Parbury,
the tear-flooded and tear-tyrannized novel
ist A TRAVELING MAN'S OPINION
A well-known New York traveling man,
at the PorUand, yesterday, said: "I have
crossed the continent nine times in the
last five years, but I never before had so
quick and pleasant a trip as this one. 1
came by the O. R. & Is., of course, and
it would be hard to Imnrlno a finer- min
better service, faster time or grander
ana more varied scenery. The sleepers
are as comfortable and elegant as first
class hotels; the diners serve nearly every
thing you can get at a metropolitan res
taurant and serve It well ami of -aocnn
able prices; and the buffet observaUon
car Is a whole city club on wheels, with
library, reading and writing-room, cafe,
bar and barber short, nil mrwinnciwi in r

Coqullle City Bulletin.
Mr. Ramp, the Populist speaker,' says
Dr. Daly is a banker, bat his baa's: doesn't
foreclose mortgages or force claims of any
kind. Charitable doctor; what a wonder
ho has lived so long! We're golnjr to have
a bank down here; wonder If the doctor
can't spare enough time to come down and
tell us how he does it
You can't help liking them, they are so
