THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1902.
TO ADVERTISE STATE
Ways and Means Will Be Dis
cussed at Mass Meeting.
PLANS OF THE HARRIMAN LINES
f
General Immigration Aerent SIcKIn-
pey "Will Confer "Wiih Prominent
Cltixena Tonight on Hott to
Attract Homeseekers.
Advertisement of Oregon on a grand
scale, a scale never before attempted, -will
be discussed tonight at a meeting of citi
zens at the Board of Trade quarters In
the Chamber of Commerce building. The
hour for the meeting Is 8 o'clock. The
great plan of the Harriman lines for mak
ing known in the Middle West the indus
tries and resources, actual and potential,
of the Oregon region "will be set before the
citizens of Portland by G. M. McKlnney,
general immigration agent of the Harri
man system. Mayor "Williams -will be
present, also Governor-elect Chamberlain.
The -work which the Harriman lines are
about to undertake will be unprecedented
In the history of Oregon for completeness
and magnitude of ecope. The Immigration
and Information bureau of that great rail
road system is to be organized on a scale
beyond the posslblo creation of any other
agent. Oregon's greatest need 1b a boon
of this kind, whereby people and capital
may be drawn to it to bring out latent
and partly developed resources.
Portland Can Help.
Portland can aid this work. Progress
requires this city to lend Its good will
and assistance. Mr. McKlnney will ex
plain tonight how it can co-operate. Public-spirited
citizens are therefore exhorted
to turn out to listen. The occasion Is an
important one for the future of the City,
of Portland and the State of Oregon.
This city can aid chiefly In two ways.
First, by providing the Immigration bu
reau with information In printed form
about resources and Industries, for distri
bution In the East; second, by guiding
newcomers as they arrive. In their quest
for homes.
The PInn "Warmly Received.
Mr. McKlnney has finished a tour of
Eastern Washington and Western Oregon.
Everywhere he has been warmly received.
He will next go through Eastern Oregon
and then Idaho. All the districts he has
visited have struck in with the Harriman
plan. Twenty leading cities of Eastern
Washington and 'Western Oregon have
promised to furnish the bureau 2,000,000
copies of pamphlets and booklets. Port
land is asked to furnish advertising lit
erature of the same kind.
Oregon a Great State.
"For diversity and wealth of resource,
no state in the Union can surpasa Ore
gon," said Mr. McKlnney yesterday. "Your
timber, your minerals, your agricultural
land, your fisheries, your livestock, your
wool, your dairies and tno power of your
6treams ail these are a wealth of resource
upon which the dawn of a golden future
has hardly opened. Yes, sir; your state is
a great state. There is none greater."
Mr. McKlnney Is accompanied by an
able corps of assistants. They have come
to spy out the land, to acquaint them
selves with its industries and resources
from actual touch with them. This
knowledge they will carry back East with
them to disseminate among people who
are in search of a promised land like Ore
gon, where blizzards never blow, drouths
never come, and crops never fall. They
will have stations in the large Middle
West cities, such as Chicago, Indianap
olis. Milwaukee, Kansas City and Des
Moines.
Objects of the Bnrenu.
"There were three steps toward the con
summation of this .immigration bureau,"
remarked Mr. McKlnney. "The cost and
the money to meet that cost were the
first considerations. Then we had to find
men. These we have secured, the ablest
in the United States, thoroughly conver
sant with railroad Immigration work.
Now we are on the third step, the act of
bringing the bureau into actual organiza
tion." The immigration bureau will be dis
tributer of general Information about the
Northwest. It will endeavor to show forth
such districts, in individual cases, as con
tain industries to which homeseekers are
adapted. Its work will not be Indiscrim
inate, as most immigration endeavors have
been heretofore, but systematic and on
the highest posslblo scale of efficiency.
Homeseekers will not be loaded on cars

ers can get locations they need.
"Your Willamette Valley is the garden
spot of the world," exclaimed Mr. McKln
ney. "There is no district in the United
States equal to It for fertility of soil, equa
bility of climate and diversity of resource.
And your forests are the richest of any
state In the Union.
"This Valley 1b well adapted to people
of the Middle West." remarked Mr. Mc
Klnney. "Many Independent farmers back
there are looking for homes where climatic
conditions are better than at their pres
ent abodes, and where productiveness Is
equal to that of their present holdings.
This Valley can satisfy them in both re
spects." Mr. McKIaney's Pntnre Plans.
Tuesday morning Mr. McKlnney will go
to Hood River. With him will go 3. H.
O'Nell, traveling passenger agent of the
O. R. & N.: G.-P. Jones, traveling passen
ger agent of the Southern Pacific lines in
Oregon; R. M. Hall, advertising agent of
the O. R. & N.; C. Mackenzie. Mr. Mc

Townsend, in charge of the immigration
bureau at Des Moines; H. S. Crouse, at
Kansas City; I. N. Conklln, at Milwau
kee, and W. H. Burke, at Indianapolis.
The party will visit also The Dalles,
nnd from Biggs will visit Moro, Wasco,
Shaniko, Bend and the intermediate coun
try. On this route they will be accompa
nied by E. E. Lytle, president, and C. E.
Lytle, general freight and passenger agent
of the Columbia Southern Railway. Other
places to be visited are Grant, Arlington,
Heppner, the O. R. & N. experimental
farm. La Grande, Union, Elgin, Enter
arise, St Joseph, Wallowa, Haines, Baker
City, Sumpter and Huntington. It will
take Mr. McKlnney about two weeks to
cover all these points.
The pamphlets which the bureau desires
are in size 8 by4 inches, containing 10
to- 20 pages, illustrated with half-tones.
They cost about $10 per 1000 copies.
DROUTH OF LAST YEAR.
Responsible for Palling; Off In
Exports.
WASHINGTON, July 0. The drop of
$105,000,000 In exports and Increase of $79,
000,000 In Imports is not looked upon by tno
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics as a
cause for anxiety regarding the future of
our foreign commerce.
"It was perfectly apparent when the re
sult of the drouth of 1901 became known,"
said Mr. Austin, "that our exports in 1902
must fall off, and the only surprise to me
la that the loss was not greater. The
corn crop, as is well known, is the chief
reliance of our farmers for preparing for
market the livestock, of which we now
export over $200,000,000 worth annually in
tho form, of provisions and live animals.
In addition to this, we have been export
ing about $100,000,000 worth of the surplus
corn and oats left over after feeding tho
livestock of the country. The great re
duction of tho corn crop by the drouth, of
course, reduced to almost nothing the sur
plus corn that could be spaxed, and also
caused the use at home of a much larger
share of tha oats, and so reduced tho
available surplus of that class of farm
products. The result Is that the exporta
tion of corn fell from 177,000,000 bushels in
the fiscal year 1901 to 27,000,000 bushels in
the fiscal year just ended, and that of
oats from 37,000,000 to 9,000,000 bushels. The
drop in the value of corn and cornmsal
and oats and oatmeal exported Is over
$76,000,000. Fortunately, the farmers learned
quickly to economize their depleted corn
supply and to substitute other materials
for It, and, therefore, tho reduction in ext
portatlon of provisions and llvo animals
is only about $6,000,000.
"It also became apparent In the early
part of the year," continued Mr. Austin,
"that the value of cotton exports could
not be expected to reach the phenomenal
ly high figure of the preceding year. Tho
export prices of cotton In 1901 were tho
highest that had been realized for many
yoars, and as a result the total valuo of
cotton exported In the fiscal year 1901 was
greater than in any previous year in the
history of our commerce, amounting to
over $300,000,000, and forming more than
one-fifth of the total value of the exports
of that greatest year In our export trade.
The average price of cotton exported In
the fiscal year 1901 was nearly 9& cents
per pound, while the average export price
in the fiscal year 1902 was 8H cents jer
pound. So it is not surprising that the
value of tho cotton exported in 1902 fell
$24,000,000 below that of 1901, although the
quantity exported was actually 160,000,000
pounds greater in 1902 than In 190L
"The third Item of reduction In exports,"
continued Mr. Austin, "is In manufactures
of Iron and steel. The figures for the full
fiscal year have not yet been received,
but. Judging from those of the 11 months
which have been received. It seems prob
able that tho reduction In iron and steel
exports will be about $20,000,000. This re
duction is due in part, It is believed, to
the fact that German manufacturers
found it necessary, by reason of the deV
pressed conditions In that country last
year, to unload their surplus stocks of
iron and steel manufactures at greatly re
duced prices, thus temporarily unsettling
and reducing prices in foreign countries
generally, while, on tho other hand, the
homo demand In the United States for
iron and steel manufactures has been
larger than ever before, and In many
cases beyond the capacity of our manu
facturers to supply. The result of theso
two conditions was a reduction of about
$20,000,000 in the exports and an increase
of nearly $10,000,000 in the imports of iron
and steel, and the total Importations of
iron and steel for the fiscal year Just end
ed will probably exceed those of any other
year since 1893.
"Tho increase in importations," said
Mr. Austin, in conclusion, "Is especially
gratifying. In view of the fact that it
shows a healthy condition In our manu
facturing Industries. While the figures of
tho year are not sufficiently completed to
permit an analysis for the full 12 months,
the fact that the analysis for the 11
months ending with May showed an in
crease of over $65,000,000 In manufacturers'
materials Is a sufficient explanation of
the total Increase of $79,000,000 of imports
in tho full year. Manufacturers' mater
ials imported during the year will amount
to about $420,000,000 In value, or 46 per cent
of the total Importations. This is not
only the largest importation of manufac
turers' materials ever known, but they
form a larger percentage than ever be
fore of the grand total of Imports, not
withstanding the fact that tho total im
ports are the largest In the history of our
commerce."

CHURCH OPENS ITS DOORS
CEXTEJTARY EDIFICE IS RECONSE
CRATED AFTER REPAIRS.
Balldlnc Has Been Improved at Cost
of 93000 Bishops Thobnrn and
Cranston Preach Sermons.
Ths Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, East Side, was reopened yester
day to public worship, after having been
closed for general repairs for the past 13
weeks. Nearly $3000 has been expended
In repairs to the roof and the auditorium,
and other work that will cost $1150 is un
der consideration.
The services of the entire day were In
keeping with the happy occasion. At the
morning hour a large congregation gath
ered in the finely appointed auditorium.
The large choir, under the charge of E.
S. Miller, had prepared a special pro
gramma of music. On the platform were
Rev. W. B. Hollingshcad, pastor, who has
not rested from his efforts In the work
of repairs, and on whom much of the

burden has fallen; Rev. A. N. Fisher, ed
itor Pacific Christian Advocate, and Bish
op J. M. Thoburn, bishop of India. The
feature of the musical programme in tho
morning was the soprano solo, "Open Ye
the Gates," rendered by Mrs. E. S. Mil
ler In a most expressive manner. Follow
ing this solo was tho introduction of
Bishop Thoburn by Rev. A. N. Fisher.
Mr. Fisher congratulated Centennry
Church for Its enterprise, and Temarked
that it ought to continue the good work
that had been begun so auspiciously. In
Introducing Bishop Thoburn, who deliv
ered the morning discourse, Mr. Fisher
said that the bishop had probably done
moro to carry the gospel to heathen lands
than any other living man. It was a great
privilege, he said, to listen to Bishop Tho
burn. Then followed a fine sermon on
"The River of Life." It was a plain,
practical gospel sermon, setting forth the
simple truths of the gospel, the bishop
closing with the statement that tho church
was not going backward.either at home or
abroad, and that the spirit of evangelism
was as prominent now as ever, and even
more aggressive. Bishop Thoburn said
that Centenary Church had one of the
most attractive auditoriums of any Port
land church, and henceforward should
measure up to all Its opportunities.
After tho sermon a statement of what
had been done in tho way of repairs and
what was further contemplated war. made
by Rev. W. B. Holllngshead, who said
that $1150 was needed for further repairs.
Bishop Thoburn supplemented the pas
tor's financial report with an appeal for
prompt response. In a sljort tlmo sub
scriptions and cash were received to the
amount of $S35. This was considered sat
isfactory, and the remainder of the
amount required will be raised without
doubt.
In the evening another large congrega
tion gathered to hear the sermon by
Bishop Earl Cranston, who has taken so
much Interest in the welfare of Centennry
Methodist Church. The music was espe
cially effective. "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me,"
was finely rendered by the Ladles' Quar
tet, and "Beyond the Smiling and tho
Weeping" was rendered by the men's
chorus. Bishop Cranston expresed his ad
miration for tlie work that had been ac
complished by Centenary Church, and
prophesied a great future for tho church.
His sermon was full of Interest. The ser
mon was followed by the men's chorus.
Improvements to the Church.
The Improvements to the church build
ing consist in tho strengthening of the
roof supports and the complete change of
the auditorium. For some time the roof
leaked, and It became necessary to rem
edy tills trouble. W. B. Chase, of the
board of trustees; Rev. W. B. Holllngs
head and Architect Otto Kleemann made
an examination, and found the truss sup
ports yielding and conditions dangerous.
Mr. Kleemann said that the roof might
stand for years, but might collapse at any
time. The west side wall had been pulled
in over eight Inches by the settling of the
timbers under the weight of the slate
roof. Mr. Holllngshead decided that he
would take no chances. On April 1 he
presented the matter from the pulpit, and
$2200 in subscriptions were secured, which
soon afterwards was increased to $2400.
Tho first steps taken were to strengthpn
the roof. This was dono by Introduction
of a number of trusses and about 700 feet
of heavy iron rods. Ono truss only is
visible. This has taken the place of the
partition that separated the Sunday school
room from the main auditorium. It Is
ornamental, and In no way detracts from
the appearance of the room. The building
has been made absolutely safe, and Archi
tect Kleemann says it will stand for 100
years. The heaviest expense was incurred
above tho celling. The changes In the
auditorium Increase the seating capacity
over 400. The removal of the partition,
which obscured and rendered useless one
thiTd of the gallery and nearly one-third
of the floor space of the auditorium, was
the important change. In the galjerj
there is a gain in increased seating, ca
pacity of over 200. On the floor below there
is about the same gain. Another ad
vantage is that the pulpit can npw be
seen from every portion of the gallery and
floor, and tho acoustics are wonderfully
improved. The choir loft has been in
creased so that 45 singers can comfortably
occupy it, and CO may be accommodated.
The pulpit platform has also been Im
proved. Great gain Is ao made in the
ventilation, an Improvement noticeable
yesterday at all the services. The celling
and walls, that were broken and blackened,
have been handsomely tinted. The panels
of the celling were painted to correspond.
Those who expected to see a number of
iron rods extending across the auditorium
were very agreeably disappointed yester
day. It is believed that tho church can
now seat nearly 2000 people by crowding
and 1500 can easily be accommodated.
It Is proposed to remodel and enlarge
the basement-room so as to accommodate
the Sunday school. Some of the members
thought that this should be deferred, but
It was decided to go ahead and make a
complete sweep at once, and not wait an
other year. Besides, quarters had, to be
provided for the Sunday school. A new
furnace will be provided and gas piping
will be required. It Is estimated that
$1150 will cover the expense of these
improvements. As $S33 was raised yester
day; morning the work will be started at
once.
Address of the Pastor.
Pastor Hollingshcad, in "his address to
the members yesterday, said:
"Wo are glad to bo at homo once more.

&& r Tjrmr:
May tho Lord pour out his Spirit upon
our church. Wo extend a hearty wel
come to Bishops Thoburn and Cranston.
No man has done moro to save Centenary
Church to Methodism than our beloved
resident bishop. Ho saw its opportunity
and Tfully realized the worth of this
splendid building. During tho past 13
weeks our church has been undergoing
extensive repairs. Not a dollar has been
expended which was not absolutely ne
cessary. When wo consider that nearly
two-thirds of tho amount expended was
for work which Is not visible from the
auditorium, we cannot but feel well
satisfied wth the work. When tho con
gregation was asked for funds last April
a call was made for $2400. This amount
was promptly pror cd. Ik was esti
mated that $3400 would make all needed
repairs, but this estimato did not In
clude gas piping, fixtures, carpet-cleaning,
new furnace and some odd Jobs of
carpenter work. We oto In a position to
state that an additional pledge of $1150
will carry out the plans which tho com
mittee havo in mind and pay all inci
dental accounts to this date. All bills
have been paid as they havo fallen due.
but a little over $700 will bo due August
1. which amount should bo paid within
10 days. The balance may bo paid any
time before November 1."
Important Church Event.
Tha rcconsecratlon of Centenary
Church under happy auspices yesterday is
an Important event In the history of
Methodism In Portland and the Oregon
conference, for the church has been an
object of deep concern to the conference
for a number of years. It was dedicated
In 1S90 without, as was then supposed,
a dollar of Indebtedness. It cost $69,000.
"Father" James Abraham, at the dedi
cation, arose and publicly declared that
he would assume the payment of every
dollar of indebtedness that could not be
provided for. Ho afterwards signed
notes covering this promise. The history
of the litigation over these notes Is fa
miliar to the public The resultant debt
of tho church lncreared to about
$17,000 and when on the eve of
foreclosure and sale under the hammer
was saved by the Church Extension So
ciety of New York, which advanced this
money through the request of Rev. George
W. Gue. The church for years groaned
under the burden of debt. When Rev.
Rockwell Q. Thoburn. the son of Bishop
Thoburn, was appointed pastor, there was
a gleam of hope. During the few months
Dr. Thoburn was pastor the church rap
idly gained ground. Plans were laid for
the improvements that have now been
undertaken, and while everything was
on tho uplift the membership was thrown
Into tho depths of discouragement and
grief by the sudden death of Dr. Tho
burn. Hia career, brief as it was, was
exceptionally brilliant, and no man was
more deeply or more 6lncerely mourned
than he. Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. D.,
took up the work with vigor and success,
and he -was succeeded by Rev. George
W. Gue, who. in the midst of a prosper
ous pastorate, was stricken down In
death. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead was
then sent to Centenary Church, and he
has Just begun his second year. Tho church
Is generally prosperous. There are no
floating accounts, but the big debt is
provided for mostly out of the property
received from the Abraham estate. The
fact that the members are able to make
Improvements costing nearly $4000 Is evi
dence of the prosperous condition of the
church. A considerable portion of the
pastor's salary this conference year will
go Into' the Improvements. Mr. Holllngs
head 6ald yesterday that a great
many of the members who had sub
scribed had been compelled to sacrifice
their vacations and forego many of the
necessities of life In order to do so.
"A moro loyal, more devoted people," he
said, "I have never been called on to
serve as pastor."

CROWDS VISIT TROOPS
EXCURSIONISTS THRONG ENCAMP
MENT GROUNDS AT ALBANY.
Guardsmen Hear Sermon by Rev. E.
P. Hill, nnd Appear on Dress Pa
rade Col. Everett Gets Saber.
CAMP WILLIAMS, ALBANY, July 20.
(Special correspondence.) The streets of
Albany have been crowded with people to-,
day, by tho arrival of about 5000 excur
sionists, who have taken advantage of
this chance to see the National Guard on
parade. The dress parade was given early
for their accommodation, and the troops
were at their best after their few days'
practice. In the morning they marched
unarmed to Hacelman's Grove, where
they listened to a sermon by the Rev. E.
P. Hill, and In the evening gave tho dress
parade, about 4:30. Aside from this, tho
day was spent In resting and In visiting
the many friends that had arrived on the
excursion trains. About noon the Van
couver troops arrived from their long
march, and In the evening took part Jn
tho dress parade. The great heat and the
dust makes the camp very disagreeable,
but aside from this unavoidable misfor
tune tho day has gone off nicely and the
visitors aro well pleased. The various
amusements afforded tho soldiers offered
to many a temptation to stay out late
last night, and this morning a number of
them were landed In tho guardhouse.
An event to which the officers of the
Third Regiment have been looking for
ward since the opening of camp waB the
presentation of their Colonel with a hand
some saber, and the way that the cere
mony was performed showed how great
can become the devotion of true soldiers
to a commander that they respect.
, Guardsmen Hear Sermon.
The Guardsmen arose In good spirits this
morning, knowing as they did that there
was no drilling for them today. Shortly
after 10 they were formed Into line, with
out their amis, and marched In a body to
Hackelman's Grove. The grove has a
natural slope, which makes it an ideal
place for outdoor speaking, and the ser
mon was very much appreciated by tho
entire brigade.
Dr. Hill took his text from I John,
"I havo written to you young men be-'
cause you are strong." Ho brought out
the relation between religion and war in
the development of the world, and said:
"This close relation which has character
ized tho development of civilization shows
how tho two have gone hand In hand for
the betterment of tho world, and fdr this
reason I claim your attention to the -greatest
book the world has ever seen, from
the standpoint of both the soldier and the
religious worker, the Bible." The basis
of his sermon was "The Strength of True
Manhood." Ho said: "In the strength
of true manhood there are five essentials
physical strength, purpose, persistency,
courago and faith. The physical strength
is something that every living animal
needs. Wo need It In common with the
other animals, but in the acquirement of
the other four wo find our advantage and
on the extent to which we have acquired
theso essentials depends the extent of
our superiority. There are many chances
for conflicts even in the times of peace.
On the field of battlo Is not the only place
where we may do a heroic act or deed.
If wo always have the Bible and Its
teachings before us we will always be
prepared for any conflict that may come
up and will bo able to distinguish our
selves as true heroes, even though wo do
not 6eo service for our country on the
field of battle." He drew from this the
lesson that It is necessary always to
stand for righteousness, either In the field
of battlo or behind tho desk, and drew an
example from the life of Mayor Williams,
after whom the camp had been named.
Vancouver Troops Arrive.
After church the trtibps returned to their
camp, and about noon tho Vancouver
troops were seen approaching and wero
heartily greeted. About 11:30 they passed
through Albany, and though they wero
tired and dusty they presented a fine sight
as they filed along tho road, and thou
sands of people ran out to fill the air with
cheers as they passed. Tho camp had
been prepared for their reception and they
were at once ushered Into their headquar
ters and enjoyed a good and much-needed
rest until the dress parade.
Biff Crowd of Excursionists.
At tho Albany depot a large crowd of I
people, many of whom wero expecting
friends on the excursion and many that
had assembled to see the visitors and show
them that thoy were welcome to their
city, had assembled and gave tho excur
sionists "a hearty greeting as they alighted
from the train. Threo trains from Port
land, bringing on an average of about 600
people, one from Eugene and points along
tho line, one from the front, another from
along the Corvallls line, all averaging
about 600 people each, arrived at about 11
o'clock. Besides the many excursions tho
people from tho surrounding countryt "who
had heard of the big "day's doings,"
flocked to tho city in wagons, on horse
back or in any way to make tho trip, and
a number of old residents there wero heard
to say that Albany had not been so crowd
ed within their memory. Aftor a few
hours, during which tho people wandered
about the streets of Albany and refreshed
themselves from their travels, the crowd
flocked to the encampment grounds, where
they Inspected the camp and visited with
the soldiers. Shortly after 3 o'clock tho
Third Regiment Band commenced Its af
ternoon concert. The music wa3 thor
oughly enjoyed, and ono piece especially,
that had been composed by the leader,
J. H. Everest, and was taken from mem
ories of their last year's march, attracted
tho attention of the people. The title was
"On tho Hike," and as a descriptive selec
tion it would be hard to beat.
After tho boys had returned from their
march last year, ono of them suggested
that thero was music In tho clank ty-clank
ty-clank of tho rattling of the tin cups
as they marched, and It was from this
J that he received his suggestion of the
piece. The opening Is the morning call by
tho cornets, and tho hearer Is brought Into
tho spirit of tho theme as the call rings
out clearly, having, as It does, such a
significant sound to those who have been
on tho hike. This Is followed by a short
melody, and then the march begins.' Tho
clank ty-clank of tho cups, and an occa
sional call, sounds in the piece distinctly,
yet through all tho time is perfect and is
so distinctly marked that one almost
Imagines ho hears tho footsteps as Jho
regiment Advances. (In Camp Williams it
Is not necessary to Imagine the dust that
the troops would cause In marching.) Tho
piece closes with the bugle-call for taps,
and all who heard It, and especially those
who were on the march, were Impressed
with the vividness of the description.
After the concert the dress parade was
given, and the boys showed up in tho
best form yet. Their practice had ad
vanced them wonderfully, and the large
crowd, many of whom were friends of the
members of tho various companies, seemed
to inspire them to their best efforts. After
the parade a number of the officers were
heard to make comments of praise upon
the excellence of the exhibition. Tho Van
couver troops are thoroughly trained, and
their presence In the parado added much
to tho beauty of the sight.
Saber for Colonel Everett.
Directly after the parade Colonel Everett
was agreeably surprised by the presenta
tion of a handsome saber by the officers
) of his company. A more handsome saber
would be hard to find than the ono of
which Colonel Everett Is now the proud
possessor. The blade Is gold-plated, and
many beautiful gold mountings adorn
the scabbard. On the handle Is engraved
the coat of arms, and on the sheath in
letters of gold are the words: "Presented
to Colonel Edward Everett by the officers
of his staff. July 19, 1902." His namo Is
also engraved upon the blade of the sword.
Colonel Everett had been kept In total Ig
norance of the matter until the sword was
presented before tho large crowd of peo
ple, and It Is easy to Imagine the great J
surprise that he manifested as he realized
the great honor that he received. General
Betbe had been taken Into the plot, and
presented the sword In behalf of the regi
ment. Directly after dress parade General
Beebe ordered the Colonel to march his
regiment to the flag and form them In
three sides of a square about the flagpole.
After the formation was complete and
the Colonel was wondering wha whim
had led the General to perform such sur
prising maneuvers, the General advanced,
and, making a short speech in which he
spoke of the great esteem in which tho
Colonel was held by his regiment, present
ed the sword as a token of this esteem.
The surprise was great, and tho Colonel
was taken entirely off his guard. He re
sponded briefly, and thanked them for tho
honor 'that they had bestowed upon him.
This ended tho exercises of the day, and
the people had to make great haste to
catch the trains which would return them
to their homes. The camp was left alone
and deserted, and the soldiers left with
nothing to look forward to but their rou
tine work.
GIBBS WANTS A FIGHT.
Billy Lavlffno Asks for Match With
Trncey or Ferns.
Billy Lavlgne is very anxious .to get a
match between his colored fighter. Young
Glbbs, and Tom Tracey. Glbbs recently
met Al Nelll at Los Angeles In a 20-round
draw. Lavlgne sends the following state
ment in regard to his effort to secure the
match:
"I have made every effort possible to
match Young Glbbs with Tommy Tracey
either at Portland or here, have had sev
eral letters from Mr. Grant stating he
would give Glbbs the flrs chance with
Tom after Tracey decided to enter the
ring again. I note he is matched with
Ferns at Seattle in August, I want to
declare myself In tlmo and state right
here that Glbbs wants to meet the winner
of that bout. If we can get him. They
need not offer any excuse why they won't
meet Glbbs. We can cover any bet they
wish to make, etc Neither can offer an
excuse on the color line, as both have
met them before. Glbbs demonstrated at
Los Angeles that ho Is entitled to meet
tho best, and you can rest assured of a
good contest in Portland or anywhere
else they fight. I would like to bid for
the fight hero'at the Acmo Club.
