MAKING TWO CANALS
Work on Deschutes' Ditch
. Soon to Begin.
WILL REDEEM ABOUT 125.000 ACRES
Tlxree Railroads Expected to Be
Built Close to the Laad Wfcicfc
"Will Be Irrigated.
The -work of constructing the two main
canals of the Deschutes Consolidated.
Irrigation Company -will begin at once,
according to C. N. Scott, of Portland,
who has Just returned from a trip through
Crook and Klamath Counties, where the
surveys have been completed.
He says there are two systems em
braced In the project, one canal tapping
the east fork of the Deschutes River
near its head, and the other tapping Tu
xnello Creek, some distance to the north.
The size of, each canal is to be 20 feet
at bottom, SO feet at top and four feet
deep, the first mentioned being 30 miles
long and the second 25. He estimates
that there are fully 125,000 acres which
can be reclaimed from their present al
most desert state, by these canals, and,
Judging from the small patches irrigated
by farmers and stockmen over there", this
land can be made the most productive
in the world. The soil, he says, is a
volcanic ash, and the land under the
ditches slopes gently to the south and
east, rendering irrigation very easy. Al
falfa can be cut twice a year, and the
average annual yield will be four tons
when once cultivation is well under way.
The cost of digging the main conduits
will not be over 51000 a mile, as excava
ting machines drawn by eight and ten
horses have been arranged' for. The
canal following along a bank some 25 feet
above the valley to bo irrigated, in high
ashy soil, free of rocks and trees, these
machines can be operated without diffi
culty and a large number of cubic yards
pw day can be removed from the exca
vation and deposited on the banks. The
excavators resemble headers used on
wheat, farms, but instead of being armed
with sickle bars, a huge plow and coulter
are in position on the forward part, the
earth being carried to the side of the
canal by stout canvas drapers, resem
bling the grain carrier of the header. Al
though these machines are not expected
to leave the completed ditch behind them,
on their first trip over the line, Mr. Scott
says their use will save a great many
teamsters, horses and scrapers over the
old method of digging canals, or con
Ftructlng railway grades. The contract,
he says, has been let for the first 20
miles of the canal which tap's Little
Meadows on the Deschutes and this sec
tion will b complete by January 1, 190L
Ample capital has been secured, a num
ber of Portland business men being com
bined with Moore Brothers, bankers of
ytoro, Sherman County, "W. H. Moore be
ing president of the corporation.
The company does not desire to obtain
control of the land benefited, and as
this is mostly in the hands of the Gov
ernment yet, there Is ample room for both
r.ch and poor to acquire title to It under
homestead or desert land acts. Its re
moteness from railway lines, he thinks.
Is only temporary, as the present ter
minus of the Corvallis & Eastern Balk
road is not far to the "west, and if this
line is extended it will pierce the center
of the valley to be Irrigated. The con
ctruction of the Oregon Midland to Klam
ath Palls will also give It an outlet to
the south, while the Dalles Southern, soon
to be built up the Deschutes toward
Xakeview, will skirt along its eastern bor
der. "Thus we are promised three dis
tinct lines in the near future, so that
there is little fear of lack of market
when once the irrigated lands have
begun to produce," said Mr. Scott. "I
look for a heavy addition to the popula
tion of Crook, Klamath and Lake Coun
ties as a result of the successful termi
nation of this irrigation scheme, and
towns will spring up as well as farms
and orchards, where until now tho coy
ote has had It pretty much all to mm
self, except in the "Winter season, when a
few thousand sheep were pastured on so
called 'desert.' "
RESIDENCE BURNED.
Partly Occupied Dwelling: Destroyed
at An Early Hour.
The building on the corner of the Kelly
road and the Woodstock Railway, at the
northwest corner of Woodstock, known
as tho Mann residence, was totally de
stroyed by fire, with its contents, yes
terday morning at 4 o'clock. C. E. Mann,
the former owner and present occupant
of the property, and his family are ab
sent. The former is in California in tie
Oil mines, and his family is at the
coast. Mrs.; Lewis had been left in
charge, and was alone in the house, a
considerable portion of tho furniture had
been moved to another building a short
distance off, and only what remained was
destroyed. It was a 10-room, two-story
building, one of the largest in that neigh
borhood. It was put up about six years
ago, and cost about $3CC0. It Is not known
how the fire started. It was seen issu
ing from above the kitchen, and quickly
spread over the entire building. Mrs.
Lewis Is unable to tell anything about the
cause of the fire. There was some scraps
of paper scattered about on the floor, the
result of moving the furniture, and the
fire may have been started by matches
dropped, causing a smouldering fire. The
neighbors turned out and tried to save
tho furniture left in the house, but could
do very little, owing to quick spreading!
of the flames and the heat. Recently
the property passed from the possession
of Mr. Mann to the owner of the mort
gage. The building was insured. The
country was illuminated for some dis
tance, and it looked as if the Woodstock
schoolhouse was burning down.
Sunday School Picnic.
The United Brethren Sunday school and
tho Union Sunday school of Woodstock
united yesterday in a most enjoyable pic
nic in the grove near the home of Dr.
Clafllin, at Tremont. a short distance east
of Woodstock. About 100 were present
from both schools, and the day was
spent by the children in various games,
while the adults found pleasure In sing
ing and social matters. Rev. F. E. Coul
ter and W. H. Hachfeld, with ballad
horn and saxaphone, accompanied by
iliss McConnell on the organ, awoke the
echoes -with some stirring music A pro
gramme, consisting of recitations, select
readings and musical numbers, took up
the greater part of the afternoon. Din
ner was served in a way that brought all
the company together, and proved a most
bounteous and enjoyable repast. The ver
dict was that It is a "blessed thing to
dwell together in unity." Dr. Clafllin and
Ws wife contributed much to the enjoy
ment and success of the affair. Arrange
ments were made on the grounds to have
the two Sunday schools unite in a
Thanksgiving service at the First Church,
East Fifteenth and Morrison streets.
Soldiery Association.
The members of the Multnomah County
ex-Soldiers Association are discussing the
advisability of reforming that organiza
tion. In a short time a meeting will be
called for the election of officers and also
to determine what changes will be made
in the form of the association. It seems
to be the opinion of the members that it
would be better for the G. A. R. Posts
of the city to take the management of
the association, for, from the experience
of the recent reunion. It is judged that
the Indian and Spanish War Veterans
do sot care to take part in the affairs
of the association. The Portland posts,
it is thought, can take the" matter in
hand and make the reunions a success
when a mixed organization will not work
together. It was because of this that
the business of the association wa3 not
finished at the campground, but was held
over to the coming meeting, which will
bo called by the president. There are"
some who do not think Portland, a good
place for a reunion, and recommend join
ing with the Pleasant Home Post in their
annual gatherings, but there also are
many who think a G. A. R. association
can mako a reunion a 'success. So it Is
considered probable that another reunion
will be undertaken next year, but under
tho G. A. R. Posts. Pleasant Home Post
will stand alone and continue to hold Its
affairs on its own responsibility. It does
not seek any city alliance, and does not
need any. It Is one of the .strongest and
most liberal G. A. R. posts In the state.
In Its annual reunions It places no re
strictions on the speakers, and they are
permitted to discuss popular questions in
their own way, and a very wide range
of topics are presented. This is the rea
son its reunions are always successful.
Dr. Starr's Injuries.
Rev. S. A. Starr, who was injured by
a fall on Hawthorne avenue Thursday,
has been suffering severely ever since.
The accident was caused by the slipping
of his bicycle on the track of the East
Side Railway. Between East Tenth and
East Eleventh streets there are curves,
which are kept greased. The back
wheel of tho bicycle slipped, and Mr.
REV. DR. JACOB BLOCH.
Starr was thrown on his right hip and
right hand. The palm of his hand was
deeply cut, while his thigh was badly
bruised and strained. He obtained no
rest the""3iight following, owing to the
constant pain, and was suffering severely
yesterday.
Heavy Timber Shipments.
There are immense timber shipments
from Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill
every day. Long trains are made up
partly on the switch track extending
across Stephens' Slough to the mill and
partly on the main line of the Southern
Pacific. Sometimes two and three cars
are required for the long timbers. The
moving of the cars is done across East
Eighth street, and the street is, ob
structed frequently for some time before
teams can get by. After a time the East
Second street switch will be extended
south to the mill, which will give direct
access to the lumber yard, and the streets
will not be obstructed.
Kelly Road Grade Finished.
The grade of the Kelly road eastward
from the Woodstock Railway half a mile
nas been completed. The road will be
smoothened and later will be graveled.
The railway track was lowered three
feet, but this Is not sufficient, as there
Is still quite a raise In the roadbed. Still
the cut on the hill greatly improves the
grade, and will make it easier for loaded
vehicles to be pulled up the hill.
East Side Notes.

"will be made to have the sewer in spite
of opposition as It Is felt It is needed.

RESORT,
SEASIDE
To the north of the mouth of the Co
lumbia River, stretching in an unbroken
line for 25 miles from Cape Disappoint
ment to Willapa Bay, Is located the pop
ular Summer resort known as Long
Beacji. At low tide this beach makes one
of the finest driveways Imaginable, and
is also utilized to. a great extent as a
bicycle path. The surf bathing is en
joyable. Clams, crabs and deep-sea fish
are plentiful, and are to be had for tho
catching. The hotels are numerous and
conveniently located near the beach.
August and September are considered
the most enjoyable months at Long Beach.
The waters of "old ocean" have had time
to be warmed by the sun, and the surf
bathing is then unexcelled.
The popular - side-wheel steamer T. J.
Potter will make daily trips between
Portland and Ilwaco until September 5.
The last trip of the Potter from Portland
will be September 8 and from Ilwaco
September 9. After that date arrange

HIS FAREWELL SERMON
IjAST discourse of rabbi bloch
at tempiib beth israbi.. '
He Reviewed the Work of His XjSSS
Pastorate lswrcre Synagofiroo
Was Filled.
Rev. Dr. Jacob Bloch, for 10 years pas
tor of the Congregation Beth Israel In
Portland, delivered his farewell sermon
last evening to his old friends and fellow
worshipers. The large synagogue was
'filled with members of the congregation,
assembled to hear the parting words of
their loved rabbi. A brief sermon con
tained Dr. Bloeh's farewell sentiments.
Ho reviewed the work accomplished, and
called down divine blessing for the con
gregation and its new pastor, who will
shortly assume charge: An excellent mu
sical programme was rendered. Among
the noteworthy features was the presence
again of Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, after
a short absence, and her solo, "Glory to
God." At the close of the short service,
which began at 7:S0 the members of the
congregation crowded forward to shake
their aged pastor's hand, and there were
many Impressive scenes as a result. A
committee has been appointed to draft
resolutions out of respect to the retiring
pastor, and a report will be made soon.
While yesterday evening was Dr.
Bloeh's farewell sermon, he will appear in
the pulpit of the Temple Beth Israel to
day at the regular service, and probably
again at the installation of Rabbi Wise,
who will be here shortly. The sermon
last evening was as, follows:
"I humbly bow to that irrevocable de
cree of 'Providence and of time, which has
set this holy Sabbath as the limit of my
religious administration to you. In this
parting hour I realize the pathetic mean
ing ofithe old Presshee Koheleth:' For
cverythins there is a proper season,
and a time is for every pursuit under.
the heavens. There is a time for meet
ing and there is a time for- parting. With
every; movement of the pendulum of time
comes to us a message which carries with
it the sentiment of joy or sorrow. Time
spares not one, but leaves' her traces in
delibly imprinted.
"Not upon the palms of the hand is
life's tale written, but in the deep furrows
of the countenance, and in the' secret folds
of the heart and the memory. The first
cry of the babe, like the first angelic
smile, changes the plastic face. Every
joy and every sorrow leaves behind its
traces, and these constitute the milestones
on the journey of life. Yet who would
yield to the pessimistic views of Eccle
slastes. with its declaration of vanity,
when life still has Its cheer3? In the
treasure-trove of the Talmud we find this
ever-cheering saying: The holy one,
blessed be his" name, always -provides
first the remedy before he sends an af
fliction. There is no cloud but it "has its
silver lining. Life is not a dream, .but
the reality of. joy and sorrow woven in
the cloth of time.
"In this, to me, so auspicious and trying
.a moment, the heatrstrings of. your de
parting teacher 'quiver with emotions and
pour forth a life's song, doleful, yet full
of thnt cheer embodied in our ancient
saying. I am about to surrender my sa
cred charge. Temple Beth Israel I claim
as my foster child, which I nave guarded
and directed to Its maturity, and leaving
it now in secure hands for the wider ex
pansion of its glorious mission, I can only
rejoice in the prospects of a brighter
future. My heart and my hopes shall
ever remain here.
"No man, and even be he the wisest of
mortals, can ever presume to bring his
task assigned to him in the social fabric
to a finish. We are, every one, but an in
strument in the hands of Divine Provi
dence. We can accomplish no more nor
less than that part which he In his un
scrutable wisdom has assicned to us.
Overstepping our limits is a presump
tuous removal of the ancient landmarks.
"When Moses, the greatest of all teach
ers, was about to surrender his great
mission, so runs the tales of the Mid
rash, ho. did not summon Joshua to ap
pear before him, but in all humility he
ventured to meet Him and accompanied by
him returned to the tabernacle, there to
abide the command of God. The cloud
which hovered above the sanctuary de
scended and; separated the hoary, aged
master from his younger pupil. And when
tho cloud was lifted again Moses, with
impulsive lnqulsltiveness, queried: 'What
is the message of God?' Joshua respect
fully replied: 'Master, I am not accus
tomed to give you .information, but I am
here to be instructed by you.' Instantly
Moses recovered himself, and uttered this
prayer: 'O God, a thousand deaths
rather than a moment of jealousy.' A
great lesson, we must take to heart,
whenever we stand on the parting ways
of life; a great lesson to be remembered
whenever we surrender our task to others.
I have not been with you 40 years, nor
would I daro to rank even in the re
motest with a Moses. But I have been
long enough, with you to cement those
tender relations which in the long run of
time are created in sharing with you your
joys and your sorrows.
"Sixteen years ago on the 1st day of
August I met you in the humble and
somewhat weatherbeafen little synagogue
which still remains as an old landmark
of our beautiful city. I thank God that
I can leave you now in this beautiful
temple, peaceful and harmonious, and l
am happy in my conviction that my dis
tinguished successor will find -everything
ready and well prepared to-meet his am
bitious designs. .
"I shall not boast of my humble
achievements, nor deplore my shortcom
ings. Yet If I failed in .the discharge of
my sacred duties I pray that-you will not
attribute it to my heart, but to my zeal
for the cause of Judaism. Inspired by
this, I have always consulted my con
science, rather than opportunities. If
thereby I have unintentionally offended
any one, young or old, It was but that
inevitable fato pfc. the , preacher, who
strikes home without aiming at a tar
get, but which striking will nevertheless
wound. The true physician will . sym
pathize with his suffering patient, but
he knows that the keen-edged knife only
can remove the dangerous ulcer. This
needs no apology.
'It remalneth now only this to me, to
render you an account of the record of
the 16 years of my service. You will
remember the state of affairs as I found
them at my arrival. They were anything
but encouraging. You had Just then
emerged from the pioneer., experiments
and ways, and if by this time we have
not reached the goal, we have at least
kept paoe with the growth of our city
and Western civilisation.
"It may be of Interest to you to know
that during my administration I have
solemnized 145 marriages, and I am happy
to state that without exception all these
happy pairs continue the Journey oflife.
The births recorded are 324. The first boy
I named was after the sainted philanthro
pist, Moses Montoflore.
"In the happy reminiscences mingle also
the more sorrowful recollections. I find
in my record that I have accompanied
to their graves 196. deceased. Among these
the most zealous, and true members of
this congregation, whose memory I shall
ever cherish. May God grant them eter
nal rest.
"A happier strain, of thought I find in
the littlo army of conflrmants, who num
ber 83, and some day will swell the power
and influence of Beth Israel. And, last,
but npt least, I converted 10 gentiles to
Judaism, gentle women, who are now
most of them good mothers in Israel.
"My tale is told. It is the tale of ono
generation now passing off the stage of
life, with another coming forward with
youthful strength and youthful energy.
It is the old, old tale, told over and
over again. The old must give way to
the young. And In this, also. I hear the
cry of our age young men and young
minds to lead the way. May God be with
them and bless them.
"It remalneth for ,me now the pleasant
task to acknowledge my indebtedness to
every member of this congregation for
their valuable support and co-operation.
My sincere thanks' are due especially to
tho untiring efforts of the officers of the
congregation. At their head stood two
brave and noble men. whom God may
grant long life and health. To the old
gentleman, ex-President Blumauer. and to
his worthy successor I extend my hand
In acknowledgment of their services. T
must not forget the good Judith Monte
fiorc, the guardian of our Sunday school.
May she thrive and prosper in this diffu
sion of knowledge. I say now, farewell,
and God hloss you all, 'and with you your
new teacher and guide."
WILL KEEP OFF THE RANGE
Sheepmen Persuaded Xot to Inter
fere -with Cnttlc-Unlsers.
W. M. Butler, a cattle-raiser of Grant
County, who Is spending a few days at
the Perkins, thinks all trouble between
cattlemen and sheepmen is past, in his
neighborhood, as the cattlemen- have
made lines beyond which It Is danger
ous for a sheepherder to take his flocks.
"A number of us catt'emen," he said yes
terday, "have combined, and we have a
snug' little territory about 30 miles long
by 20 wide, at the head of the south
fork of the John Day, which we can call
our own. There is no danger from sett'e-s,
as the agricultural land exists only along
th'e narrow creek bottoms, and this is all
taken up. The pastures we claim He In
the foothills and on the mountain sides,
which are too rocky for the plow, but
produce very good grass for cattle."
Mr. Butler, who Is a pioneer settler in
Eastern Oregon, says there used to be
trouble every Summer over the range, but
sheepmen have at last learned to keep
away, as their flocks had been fired into
and a good many of their animals killed
before they took the hint. "It may look
rather rough to an outsider," he said, "but
lf-TOU had a .home and' a Tange for your
cattle, and the sheep from 100 miles away
were driven In on your grass every Sum
mer, you'd think It pretty tough, wouldn't
you? We cattlemen would have just as
good 'a right to' drive ourrstock over on
to them, and eat out their' Winter range.
Then .you would see 'the sheepmen kick."
Quite a number of fat steers have been
sold from that portion of Grant County
to Portland buyers this year, Mr. But
ler said, and there are several hundred
over there yet, awaiting purchasers. The
ruling price of late has been ?3 65 per 100
pounds for steers on foot, and $3 55 for
dry cows. The beef cattle over there
are of a fair size for Summer and Fall,
and average about 1100 pounds on foot,
which suits the butchers better than the
larger sized animals.
IN THE SEVERAL COURTS.
Creditors of J. W. Conn Charge Him
With Concealing? Property.
J. O. Johnson, of Knappton; D. Bain, of
Seaside, and Emily J. Mapleton, of As
toria, parties interested In the estate of
J. W. Conn, bankrupt, have filed objec
tions to his discharge In the United States

IT MAKES A BIG SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATED COLLEGE NOW LO
CATED AT PORTLAND.
This "Will Be One of the Best Ap
pointed 'Dental Schools in the
United States.
The importance of the North Pacific
Dental College, which is now perma
nently established at this point, to Port
land's Interests can be best appreciated
when It is" stated that this single insti
tution during the current year will be
the medium of disbursing no less than
$40,000 in the local community. The North
Pacific Dental College is the most im
portant dental school on the Coast, and
It is one of the best appointed schools of
the kind in the United States. It is a
member of the National Association of
Dontal Faculties, and its diplomas will be
accepted In any state of the Union.
The present big school Is the direct re
sult of the consolidation of the Oregon
College of Dentistry and the North Pa
cific Dental College, both of which schools
were conducted in Portland last year,
and necessarily on a competitive basis.
The consolidation has eliminated all the
weak qualities of the individual struggle
made for supremacy, and the allied
NORTH PACIFIC DENTAL
schools are now strong in all the energy
of concerted' action by the best talent
In the Pacific Northwest. This, today, is
the only dental college on the Coast out
side of San Francisco, and its faculty is
made up of the" most advanced men in
both the professions of dentistry and
medicine in Oregon. A .young man or a
young woman can now receive as thor
ough and careful a training in the North
Pacific Dental College at Portland as' is
afforded by any of the best conducted
dontal schools of the' world.
The location of the consolidated school
is at, the. corner of Fifteenth and Couch
streets, in the commodious building form
erly occupied by the medical depart
ment of the Willamette University. This
building Is modern, it is large, and It Is
admirably adapted to clinical work, which
is a most Important part of the curriculum
of all advanced dental schools. The man
agement of the new school Is making
very extensive alterations in the build
ing, which will Insure at nce the great
est possible freedom of action on the
part of the faculty and students, and
the privacy necessary for advanced clin
ical work. The infirmary, the new labor
atory and the clinic rooms are furnished
with an abundance of the most modern
apparatus that money can buy. The
skilled practitioners who will preside at
different times over each of these de
partments are men who have long been
recognized as standing at the head of
their profession in the Pacific Northwest,
and the benefit of the instruction whlqh
these men have so generously offered to
the ambitious youth of the Coast will re
sult in making a diploma from the Port
land school a badge of honor which
only similar schools of the highest recog
nized standing anywhere are able to con
fer. Students in the new schools will have
the benefit of a fine new operative tech
nique room where they will have the
advantages of practical demonstrations of
the use of the different instruments used
in the various operations on the teeth.
The original North Pacific Dental Col
lege was organized In Tacoma seven
years ago. It has already graduated
five classes. Last year it contained S6
matriculants. The school was moved to
Portland in 1803. The Oregon College of
Dentistry was organized In 189S. Its first
regular session was opened October 2,
1899. Its term closed May 1 last with a
fine class of students in attendance. The

TRYING ON HIS NERVES.
Municipal Judge Has an Unusual
Polyglot Session.
Judge Cameron received a shock yes-
COLLEGE, PORTLAND.
terday when four of the Midway per
formers filed into the Municipal Court
room. One American was leading and
the other three, following helplessly,
were swarthy Turks, clad In regulation
costume, loose flowing trousers, neat red
jackets, and bright red fezes, with long
tassels.
"Is this the Midway Plalsance?" said
the Judge. "This Is too much."
Everyone In the courtroom was tired.
The session of the court had been long
and almost entirely devoted to hearing
the testimony of aliens, and most of that
had been foreign to the point. First an
American lawyer with a nasal twang had
engaged the attention of the court. Then
a hard-headed Englishman had wandered
hopelessly in his testimony, contradicting
himself whenever adroitly questioned by
the attorneys. A German witness had
proved unduly peivers'1 bv refusing to keep
to the point and attempting to argue
his own case, in his gutteral and broken
English, with the attorney for the prose
cution. Prior to the sensational entry of
tho bizarre quartet, the court had been
endeavoring to extract the essence of
truth from the testimony of several
Finns, whose acquaintance with the Eng
lish language was remote, and finally the
court's nerves had been racked by tho
tearful plaints of two mulatto girls, pro
testing that the cash bail fixed In their
case was excessive.
"Court Is adjourned." said Judge Came
ron, after sizing up the Midway attrac
tion. A prominent member of the carnival
committee then arriving, the Midway
party was released on his bonds.
The four were Frank Chamberlln, Amer
ican, and Mike Saloon. Habech Hemsey,
and Mike Aschy, full-blooded Turks.
They had been arrested on a "John Doe,"
"Richard Roe." "John Smith" and
"Rachel Roe" warrant, sworn out by Sam
Casto, trainer at the Irlvlngton race
grounds, for trespass on enclosed grounds.
Chamberlln, the American member, stated
that the trespass. If any. had been com
mitted by mistake as they were all law
abiding citizens, tentins with their com
rades in the neighborhood of the track.
Tho case will be heard in the court to
day at 10:30.
It was remarked in the court that a sin
gular lack of ingenuity had been shown in
drawing the warrant by using such good
American names as "John Doe." "Rich
ard Roe," and "John Smith" on a lot f
foreigners in women's costume.
But "Rachel Roe" is good.

NOT THE SAME PORTLAND
CHANCELLOR DAT FINDS CHANGES
AFTER. THIRTY-SIX YEARS.
Dlstinfirnlsced Metnodist Preacher
Worked Here as a Longshore
man in the Early '60s.
Chancellor James R. Day, of the Syra
cuse (N. Y.) University, arrived In Port
land yesterday morning from the East by
way of Denver, Salt Lake City and San
Francisco, at each of which points he
stopped off for a few dys. He is accom
panied by his wife and grown daughter.
Mr. Day lived in Portland for four years
prior to 1SG4, and comes back now after
nearly 35 years' absence to gaze upon,
the changes made since then changes
which are as pronounced in the appear
ance of the city as in his own as he left
here a stripling of 19 and returns a stal
wart man of f4, with the dignified de
meanor the result of years of responsible
position. The chancellor Is 6 feet 3 Inches
In height, of commanding figure and dis
tinguished bearing. He loves to dwell on
the old days when as a youth he worked
as a ranch hand on a Washougal farm,
or as a deckhand he wheeled a truckload
of goods from dock to river steamer. His
father was interested in steamboats here
at that time, and was one of a company
who built the opposition river boat E.
D. Baker on the lower river, and the Iris
above The Dalles.
"When I was here," he said last evn
lng, "the only railroad was the portaga
road at the Cascades, on the north side
of the Columbia, which I saw built.
There was not a trolley line In existenco
anywhere, and when today I rode to Van
couver on the electric line and crossed
the Columbia on the ferry I marveled at
the changes that had taken place where
I used to hunt ducks for pastime in 18C1-
"Portland then was a little place, with
a few planked streets down near the
river, and I remember how the six-horse
stage used to dash In from the South;
how the driver would leap from his seat.
pull off his overalls and walk away with
the dignity of the commander of a gr?it
ocean liner. That was the old Ben Ho!
laday stage line, an'd we thought it was
a grand stride from the ox wagon we had
been used to.
"The Oregonian was only a stripling
of 10 years when I was here, and it wia
boasting of a new press it had Just im
ported at large expense, from across th
the continent. I wonder how long that
new press would take to work off itn
edition now."
When Mr. Day left here in 1S64. he had
not taken up the life work which Is now
his fate do, but on his return to Main",
his native state, he entered the Malno
Wesieyan Seminary, and afterwards bo
came a student in Bowdoln Colleg..
where he received the degree of A. B..
and also S. D. D. In Chicago he was
fflven LL. D.. and he soon after be
came pastor in Bath, Me., then in Port,
land. Me., then of the First M. E. Church,
of Boston, and afterwards of St. Paul's,
New York City. After serving for seme
time in the pulpit of the Calvary f. E
Church, In New York City, he was elect
ed chancellor of the Syracuse University,
the position he still holds. This Is one
of the important educational Institutions
of the country, and Kinks with Yale and
Princeton. Young men and women to the
number of 1402 attended last year, and
the faculty of the university, he says,
number nearly 150.
Chancellor Day's vjslt to Portland M
by way of diversion, and Is in pursuance
to a promise long ago made to hlmeir.
He wants to show his wife and daughter
how great the Northwest has become
since he left here over a generation ag.
He will remain here soveral days, takin?
In all the sights, and visiting the old
haunts, though he finds most of thorn
hard to recognize now. He expects la
preach at the Taylor-Street M. L.
Church tomorrow morning; and may oc
cupy the pulpit of Grace Church later
on.
Being from Maine, he says he Is nn
turally a Prohibitionist, but he thinks .v
man can be a Prohibitionist at heart an i
still vote the Republican tickot. which
he Intends to do.
