was drawn between the captains of Indus
try and the leaders of thought. He said
that it took brains In order to see, apd
one -alue of knowledge Is that It enabled
a man to become familiar with and to
enjoy the world about him. "The medi
tative man has riches worth more than
the wealth of a King. He hangs the
walls of his memory with more royal treas
ures than a canvas of Raphael or Leo
nardo." The speaker told of his recent
trip to the painted desert of New Mexico
and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
and said a man who has the privilege of
enjoying canyons and mountains could
look down in pity on the poor King, who
has only a crown and a palace. "But
the greatest value of knowledge Is that it
helps 10 form character. We are to get
.knowledge, not In order that we may add
a new specimen to our museum, which
will become dried as years go by. but that
It may lire and Ihrob as it becomes. -Incarnated
In our daljy lives." The lecture

After Being: Knocked Senseless for
Two Hours, Rides After Comrades.
Quartermaster-Sergeant G. W. Low
ren, of the Twenty-eighth' Battery of
United States Artillery, showed his grit
yesterday In a remarkable mannen He
was thrown from his horse about nopn
at Mllwaukle and Holgate streets. Sell
wood, was unconscious for two hours,
nndj after regaining consciousness in
front of the police station, he Immediate
ly remounted the horse which had
thrown him and rode away to rejoin his
comrades, whom he supposed were In
the neighborhood of Oregon City en route
to the militia encampment at Albany.
The horse which upset the plucky Quartermaster-Sergeant
Is an animal of un
certain temper. Lowden at first rode his
own horse when the battery left Van
couver barracks, but on the lino of march
the horse which -figures in this story
kicked part of the wagon he hauled to
splinters and also accomplished other
feats of a like nature. Lowden placed
his own horse in harness and began to
ride the refractory animal, but the quad
ruped turned and twisted and Indulged
in sfdesteps, until he threw Lowden to
the ground on a rough niece of road.
Lowden was picked up unconscious, and
his comrades, fearing that he was inter
nally Injured, telephoned to the police
station, asking that an ambulance be
sent to take him to one of Xhe hospitals.
Jailer James F. Johnspn and Policeman
Mallett went out with the patrol wagon
to the scene of the accident, and they
placed the unconscious form of the Quartermaster-Sergeant
in a stretcher and
started for the police station to receive
orders from Police Captain Moore as to
the disposal of the Injured man. Mallott
is a horseman, and ho rode the horse
which had caused the accident.
A sympathetic crowd gathered at the
police station as the patrol wagon bumped
up, and Captain Moore peered Into Low
den's face. "Which hospital shail we
take him to. Captain?" asked -a police
man. Just then Lowden stirred uneasily,
opened his eyes, and said, in a puzzled
sort of tone: "Sa-ay. Where am I at,
anyway?"
"'He's coming- around," said one of the
spectators.
"I want to know what's happened,"
continued Lowden, sitting up and blink
ing his eyes.
"You were thrown from your horse,
and we are about to send you to a hos
pital," replied Captain Moore.
"Send me to a hospital?" echoed Low
den. "For a little thing like this? Why,
man, I've been through the battles
around Pekln. and none of them knocked
me. I'm going to no hospital, and as
soon as I wash my .face, I'm going to
mount that horse again and ride after
my comrades. I'll catch them tonight
in a grove near Oregon City."
The horse which had caused all the
trouble stood very quietly near the patrol
wagon. Remonstrances were lost on
Lowden. He walked into the pollco sta
tion, washed his hands and face, and
thon said: "Guess I'm about all right
now. I'm very much obliged t you, boys,
for what you've done for me. Many
thanks, but no hospital for me."
Lowden vaultefl on -his -horse and rode
off the next minute down Oak street
His campaign hat, blue shirt, badges of
his rank, and accoutrements made a
striking military picture, such as Fred
eric Remington loves to paint.

Immigration Agent McKlnney, of
Harriman Lines, Desires Co-Operation-of
Local People.
Immigration Agent McKlnney, of the
Harriman .lines, desires to meet Portland
public bodies interested In getting settlers
into .Oregon and the Northwest, to discuss
ways and means of achieving that end
and to get local co-operation. A special
meeting of the Board of Trade will be held
Monday for this purpose. Mr. McKlnney
and four or five of his assistants will then
have returned to Portland from their ex
amination of the country along the South
ern Pacific lines north of California, and
they will be glad to learn Portland's de
sires and pick up what ideas they can here
DWELLING TO BE MOVED
that will assist them in the work of
getting settlers on the vacant land of this
country. They are out In a special train
with General Freight and Passenger Agent
Coman, and are given every facility for
seeing the country as It Is.
Everywhere along the line much interest
has beon shown in the work of the new
immigration bureau of the Harriman lines.
It Is an effort In a systematic way to
find tho people who want new homes and
place, them where they wllL be, successful
and contented, where they will open the
native resources of the country and cause
two or a dozen blades of grass to grow
where now Is but one. That will make
business for the railroads, it will add to
the prosperity of the people, and it will
make the state great This Is the first
time a great transcontinental railroad has
entered upon a systematic campaign for
the settlement of Oregon. All conditions
osom propitious, and a large movement
Is expected. But the attitude of the local
people is a matter of great Importance In
such a move for Immigration, and those
who are directing the work feel that full
success cannot be attained without the
co-opefatlon of those who are already en
joying the blessings of Oregon. That is
why Mr. McKlnney wants to meet the
public bodies t of Portland, and the citi
zens who come in touch with Immigration
work Jn any way, and he desires that as
many as possible to see him Monday.

In effecting harmonious relations between tho
Oregon Water Power & Railway Company and
Its employes.
The desired event happened, and a report
from us Is not obligatory; yet, under the cir
cumstances, wc dem It our duty to make one,
not for Information, but to offer the board an
opportunity to express a sentiment regarding
that event
Through the wisdom and magnanimity of
F. S. Morris and W. H. Hurlburt, the O. W.
P &. By. Ce. ha? established a precedent for
the settlement of labor trpubles that other cor-'
po-ationa may well heed. These gentlemen and
their company have not only avoided the ap
peitronce of austerity and -arrogance, but In the
traditional spirit of Americanism, regardless of
the merits of the questions Involved, they have
recognized not only their dissatisfied men, but
also the patrons of their road as parties to
tho controversy. That act was an official ex
presMon of their regard for public opinion and
of their confidence In the justice of the people.
And It has done more than any other act could
have done to assure the public of the Integrity
of thtlr policy.

have resulted from the conference. In the pre
vious contentions of the corporation, the la
borers, or the patrons of the road. It matters

Sellwood Board of Trade be, and are hereby,
extended to the Oregon Water Power & Rail

The British ship Centurion arrived out
at Queenstown from this port Wednesday,
after the fastest passage that has been
made by anyof the Portland grain fleet
leaving since January 1, with the single
exception of the Formosa, which made
the run in 10S days. The Centurion, -which
never before made any pretentions toward
speed, made the run in 114 days, and is
the second vessel of the March fleet to
arrive, one other, the Charles Gounond,
making the run In 117 days. The arrival
of the Centurion leaves but50 ships still
on the way from Portland. Of these, three
of the February fleet are still on the way,
and of the March fleet two sailed the
same day as the Centurion, and six that
have not yet reported sailed ahead of her.
Of the Puget Sound fleet, .six of the
February fleet are still on the way, and
none of the March sailers for Europe has
yet reported. One of the February ships
the Glenelvan, dispatched by A. Berg, of
this city Is so long overdue at Queens

Oliver J. Olsen in Port, and SerernI
Others on the Way to Portland.
JThe new Schooner Oliver J. Olsen, built
on Gray's warbor, arrived In at Astoria
Wednesday evening, and will come up the
river to load lumber. The schooner was
completed about a year ago, and went on
her maden trip with a cargo of lumber
from Port Hadlock to Callao. Sho carried
S4S.42S feet of lumber, which Is a pretty
good cargo for a vessel of but $96 tons net
register. Two more good-sized schponers
have been added to the list en route for
this port. They are the F. S. Redfleld
and the John A. Campbell, the latter also
being a recent addition -to the coasting
fleet turned out at the Port Blakeley ship
yards. The John A. Campbell is but 4S2
tons net register, but on her last trip from
Port Blakeley to Coqulmbo she carried
603,000 feet of lumber, and made the run
between the two ports in 63 days. The F.
S. Redfleld is a smaller schooner, but has
a capacity of about 500.000 feet. She has
recently been in the trade between Puget
Sound ports and Honolulu, and on her last
outward trip carried 460,000 feet of lum
ber. The old reliable barkentine Tam O'Shan
tcr, which has carried more lumber than
any other craft of her size now afloat,
sailed from San Francisco for Knappton,
Was.h., Wednesday, and the Lizzie Vance
Is also on the way north for a cargo. The
schooner Abbic, now lying at Astoria with
a cargo of oil aboard, will come to Port
land to load lumber.
