that James J. Hill Is the greatest per

had settled the entire Amer

famous compact between the New

entered into, by which the railroad ter
ritory east of Chicago was partitioned
out between these two Interests, but
James J. Sill steps between the whol
trunk line combination and with Chi

which together could, if necessity arose,
dominate pretty much everything between
Chicago and the Central West through to

THE SALOONS IN MANILA
STATEMENT BY MEMBERS OF MUf-
ISTBRIAI. ASSOCIATION.
SAYS THEY ARE DREAMS.
President Ripley Take So Stock In
Stories of Continental Combines.
CHICAGO, 2day 7. 'Ae a stockholder
in Atchison I should be glad to' have the
Pennsylvania Interests buy in the prop
erty, even to gaining control, but I don't
believe there Is the slightest probability
of this occurring." This is the way Pres
ident E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, an
swered a question tonight regarding the
alleged attempt of the Pennsylvania to
secure an Interest in the Santa Fe with
a view to making it a link in the new
transcontinental Hen of railroads. In
explanation of his statement, Mr. Rip
ley said: "I should welcome Pennsyl
vania Interests, as the Pennsylvania man
agement is one of the best managements,
if not the best in the country. Purchase
by the Pennsylvania of Atchison securi
ties would establish greater confidence
in the property and be a good thing. I
don't believe that the Pennsylvania in
terests have bought a single share of
Atchison stock or propose to do so. I
can see no reason for the Pennsylvania
desiring to buy the Atchison, nor can I
see anything that is likely to develop in
the immediate future that would change
the situation in this respect."
Asked If he did not see in the Hill deal
reasons for the Pennsylvania -wishing to
make new Western connections. President
Ripley said that he could not see how
the purchase of the Burlington system
could disturb existing conditions in the
Western railroads, or disturb such rela
tions as have existed between the Penn
sylvania and Burlington. Great trans
continental railroad systems, in the sense
co generally discussed these days, Mr.
Ripley declared to be "purely dreams."
He added: "As a railroad man I can see
ao advantages to railroads nor to the
public in the so-called transcontinental
systems. '
2T. Y. Central Train on Postage Stamp
George H. Daniels,' general passenger
agent of the New York Central, has
Just sent out a neat souvenir In the shape
or the new railroad postage stamp adopt
ed by the Government, the first of the
new J?an-American issue of postage
stamps. This stamp bears the picture
of the New York Central's "Empire State
Express," one of the fastest trains in
the world. Mr. Daniels has also looked
up the post charges In effect In 1835, which
he finds to have been as follows: For a
single letter, composed of one piece of
paper, the schedule was as follows:
Cents.
For any distance not exceeding 30
miles 6
Over 30 and not exceeding 80 miles 10
Over 80 and not exceeding 150 miles 12&
Over 150 and not exceeding 400 miles. ...18..
Over 400 miles 25
A letter composed of two pieces of pa
per was charged with double these rates;
of three pieces with triple, and of four
pieces with quadruple. One or more
pieces mailed as a letter and weighing one
ounce were charged with quadruple post
age and at the same rate should the
weight be greater.
In 1901, the United States carries a let
ter weighing an ounce or less from New
York to St. Michael, Alaska, a distance
of 5616 miles, or from St. Michael, Alas
ka to Manila, capital of the Philippine
Islands, 11,974 miles, for two cents.

to tell what has been the greatest number

them In May states that there were 125
American saloons in the city at that time.
Other liquor licenses were held by the

1898, there were many little shops that
sold beer, but they have been driven out

""From the remarkable movement of

MONTREAL, May 7. Sir William Van

speaking about a rumor that Morgan and
Hill had completed a deal to secure con

"I have no time to answer imaginations
of speculators in stocks. Canadian Pai
cific stock is held by 15,000 or more indi
viduals and there are not 100 holders who,
combined, could sell control. I do not be
lieve that a dozen are to be found who
would if they could. Many think, as I
do, that the property Is good enough to
keep. I know very little of the ups and
downs of the stock market. I only know
that Canadian Pacific Is worth more than
many other stocks now selling at par.
Its value has been overlooked In the
great advance that has occurred In prices
and this fact seems to have come to the
jnlnd of somebody. The directors have
always given more attention to the per
manent welfare of the property than to
the stock exchange quotations of the se
curities, feeling sure that the securities
would be properly appreciated by the pub

Tribute to a Celebrated Apostle by
a Devoted Adherent.
PORTLAND, May 7. (To the Editor.)
It Is fit that mankind should honor the
memory of Its benefactors. It is fit to
set aside a day, as was done here last
week, to honor the pioneers who estab
lished the American Government on this
Coast 60 years ago. There are those in
Portland, as well as all over the world,
who, by the time this reaches the read
ers, will be observing the decennial anni
versary of the death of Helena Petrovna
Blavatsky.
Born to a life of physical ease and
worldly position, she sacrificed all in or
der to bring a message of brotherhood
universal to all humanity. This was her
life's work; for this work she gave up all
else. Brave as a lion In proclaiming the
truth, In unmasking trlflers. egotists and
hypocrites, she was ever moved by com
passion at the sight of misery and sor
row, and ever ready to help. She blazed
the way that is now being followed by
some, investigated by some, and sneered
at by the vicious, the ignorant and su
perstitious. She is opposed only by those
who are trying to perpetuate the pres
ent conditions, whose self interests de
mind that evolution shall be checked.
At one time her enemies tried to bring
her into disrepute by a concocted report
emanating largely from persons who had
been benefited by her kindness, and who
were now promised cold cash for service
able evidence. This stuff is resurrected
even yet by those seeking to defame her
name, not knowing that every word of
this miserable stuff has been cleared away
to the entire satisfaction of all who
took, the trouble to look Into it. This ex
poser did not drive her out of India; he
sought his chance when she had already
left for Europe on account of her brok
en health. This Is history. All know
this, yet not all, for there are those
self Interests which demanded her de
famation, and to this day are they try
ing to decry H. P. B. and her life's
work.
H. P. B.! Accept this slight tribute
from those who hall your message with
joy, who revere your name, and who
shall ever consider It the highest privi
lege of their lives to uphold that ban
ner that you planted; yea, who would be
willing to make any sacrifice to protect
the legacy you left, who are ever ready
to defend thy name, when slandered by
the enemies who knew thee not. What
vile epithets, O God, have not been
hurled at her in this unchivalrous age?
Though it stings our souls, we can only
repeat what a great Master once said:
"Forgive them, for they know not what
they do." May the golden age come,
when a noble, self-sacrificing woman's
reputation shall never more be blackened
on heresay, mercenary testimony.
Mr. Editor, that there may be no pos
sible misunderstanding In this matter,
permit me in this wise to profess publicly
that whatever part I have In high endeav
or, In honor, In all good virtues, is
owing to the teachings of Theosophy
which were presented by H. P. Blavatsky.
It was on the 8th day of May, 1891, in
London, surrounded by a few students,
that she breathed her last. Her work
has gone steadily on, and the message of
universal brotherhood is becoming bet
ter .known year by year. Her greatest
literary work was "The Secret Doctrine."
which is being studied more and more
by all students who seek a clearer In
sight into the laws of nature and of man.

COLONEL E. W. PIKE.
GOLDENDALE, May 7. Colonel E. TV. Pike, who wo.-, recently elected Mayor
of this city, came to this section In 1872. He owns a flne-.farm near here, and
Is recognized as one of the most substantial and progressive citizens of this sec
tion. Colonel Pike is somewhat acquainted in Oregon, having resided at Salem
one year and a't Albany four years before coming to Goldendale. He emigrated
to Oregon from Lewlston, Idaho, which city he served four, years as Postmaster.
He has always taken great Interest In military affairs. "When the Modoc Indians
went on the warpath In Oregon he organized a company of GO men, and had it
armed by the Territory of Washington. Later, when the Indians in this state
made trouble, this little band, under the leadership of Colonel Pike', captured some
of the most noted Indian chiefs, and materially aided in "restoring peace and or
der. Largely through the efforts of Colonel Pike, Company B maintained Its or
ganization until 1887, when, with other companies east of the mountains, it was
merged Into the Second Regiment. He was chosen Lieutenant-Colonel and the
next year Colonel, which position he filled until the regiment was legislated out
of service. Colonel Pike'B native state Is Maine, where he was born 57 years
ago.
statement of the true condition of af
fairs. "If one takes a muck rake and searches
for uncleanllness, and drunkenness in the
highways and byways or clips from the
papers all notices of crimes committed
and drunkards arrested, a very black
and damning picture can be painted. If,
on the other" hand, one Is not looking for
these things, they do not obtrude them
selves often on one's sight.
"So It Is difficult to make a statement
that Is the whole truth and one that will
convey a true Impression. A true focus

number of licenses Isued in January, 1901,
under the new law Is: 73 first-class and
second-class bars, 17 restaurants with

any time to cuests.
"The best effect of the law Is to pro
hibit the saloon In the central business
district. This will remove the offense
from the nostrils and sight of the public

Result of Abolition of Canteen.
CHICAGO, May 7. The report of the
committee of ministers which recently in
vestigated charges that the abolition of
the canteen at Fort Sheridan had resulted
in much drunkenness among the soldiers,
has made its report. The report embraces
statements by many persons living In
HIghwood and other places near the fort,
and shows that the charges" of greater dis
order were untrue. For the three months
preceding the abolition or the canteen the
percentage of arrests was 5.2; for the
three following, 4.9.

We have heard of no evil result following
such prohibition.
"Possibly no one question in this dis
cussion has caused so much interest as
that of the drink habit among the Amer
ican soldiers and civilians In the Philip
pines. Exaggerated statements have been
made on both sides of the question. It
must be admitted that among the officers
and soldiers of the Army the total ab
stinence sentiment Is not strong. So also
among the civilians the number who be
lieve that the use of strong drink Is alto
gether a vice Is very small, much smaller
than In our home towns and cities. It Is
natural, therefore, that there should not
be a vigorous sentiment in favor of total
abstinence.
"The question of how much real drunk
enness there Is In a Uody of men Is diffi
cult to estimate. It depends on what one
calls drunkenness, be It utter loss of
control over one's self, or only the time
when a man's breath betrays him. If
one goes through a town just after pay
day he will think that everybody Is
drunk. Not that more than a score In a
hundred are drunk, but these few will
make noise and trouble enough for the
hundred. At times like these one meets
many drunken soldiers on the streets pf
Manila and feels very keenly the dis
grace that the saloon has brought to
these Islands. At other times one scarcely
sees a drunken man.
"A canvass was made of" 15 different
companies on the Island of Luzon that
showed that an average of 10 per cent of
the companies were total abstainers. All
the rest used liquor more or less, from
the men who took a glass of beer occa
sionally down to the man who got drunk
as often as he had money, which is
once every two months after pay day.
"Recently a service was held with a
company which had Just been paid.
There were 60 men on duty, seven had
been placed In the guardhouse that day
for drunkenness or insolence growing out
of drinking, 20 attended services and. lis
tened attentively to the sermon; one
third of the -remainder were on guard.
"But after alL has been -said the con
clusion must Inevitably be that there is
far too much of drinking and drunken
ness. The whole system of saloons and
drinking, with the terrible results, are
a blot on our society here. The Span
lards and Filipinos look on with disgusi
which Is ill-concealed, and rightly won
der what kind of benevolent civilization
this is.
"The new Army bill has abolished the
sale of liquor of any kind in Army post
exchanges, or canteens, as they are popu
larly called. The exchange Is simply a
shop kept for the convenience of soldiers
at which camp necessities and luxuries
are sold at a low price. The bar at
tached to these exchanges has been per
mitted to sell beer and light wines under
the Interpretation of the Attorney-General
of the law known as the Ellis law.
The opinion of Army officers and non-
a painting with
deceiving.
"In regard to the habits of the Filipi
nos, the statements often published are
true. In the use of alcohol they are
temperate, though not abstinent.
Drunkenness Is very seldom seen and Is
largely confined to those In the cities
who have attempted the concoctions
called American drinks.
"The use of the native rum, distilled
from the juice of the sugar cane or the
cocoanut or nlpa palm, Is almost univer
sal, while beer and Spanish wines are
used by the well-to-do in and near Ma
nila on festive occasions, their price,
however, preventing their common use
by the Filipinos.
"It has been said that there were 4000
drinking places In the city of Manila
before the American occupation. These
figures are uncertain, and the statement
is quoted to show that groceries where
rum was sold are entirely different in
stitutions from the American saloon, so
that the statement that the number of
drinking places has been reduced from
4000 to 400 (not a true number) means
little.
"Saloone are not a substitute for the
native drinking places. They are a
new Institution founded and fostered and
made possible by our own people. This
Is a fact largely overlooked. It is a part
and parcel of our home life and civiliza
tion, which we have brought with us
across the broad ocean. Public opinion
has been horrified to find that the benl
ficent civilization of which we are so
proud, has some elements in it that bring
a blush to the cheek. Political capital
has been made out of existing conditions,
the army has been blamed as Immoral,
the Government denounced as In league
with crime, and the whole forward move
ment thundered against because there
has been some drunkenness and crime on
the part of the Americans In Manila.
"It Is possible that the distance from
home, the crowding together of men In
barracks has somewhat accentuated the
unpleasant features of life here; yet It
Is a fact that all the evils so often
spoken of are to be found in American
city and town life. The proportions may
be different, but the evil has not been the
result of the war, and though It is our
duty to do all that is possible to blot out
the evil that stains our life, yet we must
realize that the Philippine Islands are
not the only place, where the flag floats,
that Intemperance exists. . .
"Of course, It Is true that the gathering
together of such large numbers of men
offers opportunities for trade that are not
obtainable In other places. The liquor
dealers have not been slow to improve the
chances offered them, and very soon after
the islands were captured were here with
their wares and soon succeeded in getting
their goods wherever the troops went, so
that at the present time every garrison
can obtain American beer either through
the canteen bars or outside saloons. The
1 importation of beer and whisky, forms a
was almost unanimous in favor of the
sale "of beer In the exchange.
"It Is claimed that such a bar keeps
men from frequenting tne low dives thnt
congregate near Army posts, and reduces,
the amount of intemperance and conse
quent court-martial.
"Without conIde;lng the conditions that
exist In woll-organlzed posts in the Hulled
States, we do, however, venture to state
that it is our belief that here In the
Philippines the canteen has not been con
ducive to temperance. The only effect of
the canteen was to multiply the number
of saloons where the soldiers could drink,
by adding places where men wno are on
guard or confined to the barracks, as
many of them are, could obtain liquor.
"The saloon In the barracks keeps temp
tation always before the men, offers op
portunities to non-drinkers, who never
would 'go Into a saloon, and Is simply one
more saloon added to the too numerous
drinking places, better, perhaps, because
under surveillance and not selling whis
kies; but worse because more beer can
be obtained for the same amount of
money.
'The old law strictly forbade an enlist
ed man acting as bartender, but In many
cases the bartenders were soldiers. There j
Is 'always a non-commissioned officer de
tailed to manage the Exchange. The civil
employe that the law requires was often
a native employed ostensibly as bar
tender, but really a' caretaker. The old
law provides .that there shall be a read
ing and recreation room, gymnasium,
restaurant, etc., provided for the soldiers,
and In a house separate from but near
the Exchange permitted the sale of beer,
all this under the direction of a com
missioned and a non-commissioned ofil
cer. "The practice In the Philippines as far
as "our observation goes has been that In
some of the barracks a room or space j
is set asiae ior a reaam room, rareiy
well stocked, and that In most cases
nothing of the kind exists. The bar,
however, was omnipresent. It almost
always was In a room of the building oc
cupied as a barracks. Instead of furnish
ing a place for social recreation, it is
often a dismal place in which the bar is
the only .attraction.
"The chief objection to the canteen Is
that it keeps under a man's very nosef
the opportunity to drink. Jf he is a man
who drinks seldom it tempts him con
stantly to become immoderate. The sa
loon near by (there Is no reason why It
should be allowed near by under military
rule) can be avoided, but the saloon that
is in the barrack room or In the sarrie
building cannot. To the man who Is
struggling against temptation and trying
to overcome his appetite, the smell of
liquor, the presence of the bar, at times
separated only by a thin partition from
his sleeping-room, constitutes an almost
Insuperable obstacle to a victory.
"So avaricious is the beer Interest that
the natural limit on the ability to drink.
i. e., the smallness of the soldier's pay.
Is overcome by the check Bystem, by
which between pay days he is able to ob
tain credit for creation amounts. Thus
the improvident man comes up to pay
day with a debt that leaves "him but a
small balance for legitimate expenses or
for sending home.
"The conclusion Is therefore forced up
on us that the canteen has been simply
so many more saloons opened to seek
the custom of the soldier, primary Insti
tutions that graduate scholars to the
higher, or more truthfully speaking,
lower grades, and as such do not pro
mote temperance or good discipline.
"The Marine Corps at Cavlte has In
stituted a Post Exchange that is a great
success in every way. It Is a clean
place where there Is an opportunity for
social Intercourse, where good things to
eat and cooling drinks (non-alcoholic) can
be obtained. It pays financially as well

"The act of Congress In abolishing the
sale of beer In the post .exchanges does
not solve the liquor question. It only
touches one phase of It.
"The great evil still exists and Its
remedy demands the best thought of all
who wish to see true Americanism tri

In view of above statement and that of
Senator H. C. Lodge, chairman of the Senate
committee on the Philippines, that the recent
reforms in Manila are inadequate, though en
couraging, strenuous efforts will be made to
secure in the next Congress such legislation
as will at least reduce the liquor traffic in all

In view of the fact that Mr. Seton
Thompson's lectures are peculiarly Inter

schools will be closed Monday and Tues

are also being made to close the schools
of Oregon City and Astoria, and to run
special trains from those places to bring
children and their parents to Portland
to attend the lectures.

Letters Received From Several Pros
pective Investors.
At the meeting of the Manufacturers'
Association last night Secretary Mclsaac
read a letter from P. J. McCarty, of
Mount Pleasant, Mich., who asked what
prospect there is for a factory here for
veneers, thin cut lumber and fruit pack
ages. A reply wag sent asking what
amount of capital was available, and
stating that a factory had already been
established here for veneers for food pack
ages and drums.
James W. Burgess, of Ithlca. Mich..
wrote that he Is the Inventor and manu
facturer of seven different kinds of farm
Implements, including a sulky harrow,
cultivator, plow and beet harvester, and
that his cultivator will cover from two
to four rows of beets at a time. A reply
was sent asking how he proposed to mar
ket his products If he settled in Oregon,
and If his inventions had been tested.
The Diamond & Flint Glass Company,
of Hartford City, Ind., asked what pros
pect there Is for establishing a glass fac
tory here, and If sand, lime, native soda
and coal can be obtained In Portland. The
reply called attention to Portland's fa
