AN EARLY CELEBRATION.
Ladles' Aid Society Observes Wash
ington's Birthday.
Washington's birthday was celebrated In
e delightful manner, although a few
weeks early, yesterday by tho Ladles Aid
Society or tne rirsi uuu6n.-6auuu"'
Church. The pretty church parlors -were
srayly decked w)th the KaUonal colors,
and conspicuous In the decorations were
two handsome engTavlngs of George and
Martha "Washington. An interesting pro
gramme had been arranged with patriotic
eongs by Mrs. Will Bushong and an ad
dress on "Washington by Dr. House, pas
tor of the church. Afterward refresh
ments were served and an Informal re
ception enjoyed. The guests of honor
were the members of Multnomah Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution.
Dr. House was heard with great Inter
est throughout his address, which was in
part as follows:
"It has been said that of the four great
est men this country has produced, Jef
erson was the greatest genius. Franklin
had the greatest intellect. Lincoln was the
mGSt marked product of American institu
tions, and Washington had the greatest
character. Just what the Mississippi Is
among our -waters. Just what Niagara is
among our cataracts. Is the name of
"Washington among Americans. Lincoln
alone divides honors with him in the
world's thought. , ,
"If "Washington had been inspired of
God. be could not have accomplished
more. In the directness of his march up
ward, he does not suffer comparison with
David or Moses. The times Into which
"Washington came were unprecedented.
Tho new world had men of tremendous
convictions, of the best mental equipment.
Each man organized himself into a gov
ernment of his own and applied It to the

mosaic of humanity was a great problem.
But over this wild sea of anarchy came
one figure walking like a spirit of light,
and he brought out a mosaic In the Fed

that made the pioneers respect him. If
he had been an effeminate dude, no
amount of genius would have given him a
hearing. 'He was a model of simplicity,
coupled with grace and dignity. He
seemed little marred by the vices with
which nature seems to delight to bedaub
at times the fairest models of mankind.'
"Second, he had the peculiar training
"necessary for his position. The people

was wealthy, and supported his family In
style.
"Third, as a patriot, Washington was
supreme. Only once In eight' years did ho
turn aside to visit his home, and then
only for a few hours. He declined pay
for all his services, and advanced out of
his private resources to the struggling
country for emergencies JGI.315. How this
contrasts with the spirit of today!
Fourth, Washington was greatest of
all in his character. He was equal to all
demands. Three Umes his character
served the country once by keeping up the
courage of the Nation UU the Revolution
ary "War was ended; then by unUlng the
Nation in the acceptance of the Constitu
tion, and then he saved It from being
swept away into anarchy and civil war
during the excitement of the French Rev
olution. 'He was God's greatest gift to
this Nation at the time of her greatest
need. Friends and enemies alike have
searched his career with lighted lamps,
analyzing his addresses, letters and pub
lic speeches. But there is no paragraph
that must be expunged, no deed to be ex
cused, no blunder to be deplored.' The
fact- is "Washington stood alone until Lin
coln appeared, and since then McKlnley
and Grant have been given a place beside
him.
"On February 22. 1S10. Abraham Lincoln
delivered the anniversary oration at his
home In the City of Springfield. I1L He Is
recorded as saying: 'On this day eulogy
of "Washington Is expected. No one can
eulogize him adequately. His is the
mightiest name of earth. To add bright
ness to the sun and glory tq the name of
"Washington Is alike Impossible. Let none
attempt It. Let all In solemn awe pro
nounce the name, and In Its deathless
splendor leave It shining on "

COUNTRY TELEPHONES.
Farmers Pleased at Extension of
System to Their Ilomes.
GRESHAM. Feb. T-(Spedal.)-The es
tablishment of a farmers' telephone line
by the Pacific States Telephone & Tele
graph Company throughout Eastern Mult
nomah County, la meeting with hearty
approval and many 'phones will be In
operation as soon as the system Is com
plete. The company already owns a line
along the Sandy road as far as Troutdale,
with a branch from Falrvlew to this place
and the town east of .here. By Its pur
chase of the Columbia system. It also
controls the wires along the Base Una
as far as Miller's Twelve-Mile House, and
Is now putting up another line on tho
Columbia Slough road from "Woodlawn to
Its Junction with the Sandy road. A few
other short branches will be built, after
which a central switchboard will be put
In at Falrvlew.
Postmaster Hofcr will have charge of
the "central," and eays that the plan Is
to put In as many telephones as possible
on yearly contracts. The charge will be
about SO cents a month for local business,
payable half-yearly In advance. Long
distance rates will be extra, as at present.
It Is highly probable that further ex
tensions of the service will be-made from
Gresham and one or two other places, but
Falrvlew will be central for all business
under the new system, which Is destined
to be of great convenience to the com
munity. Sairralll Jlovinn.

THINKS HE SAW KARL LATZ
D. IU McDonald Meets Boy Xenr The
Dalles Answering Description.
Nothing definite has yet been heard
from missing Karl Latz, although per
sons In several parts of the state report
having seen boys In their neighborhoods
nnswerlng to his description. The Orcgo-
nian received the following letter last
evening from The Dalles:.
while looking over The Oregonlan of
February 2, I read your article .and de
scription of Karl Latz and find It to be
as near as possible to the appearance of
a young man I met last Friday morning
about 10 o'clock Just outside of the city
limits here on the road going out to
Southern Oregon. I was with a friend of
mine when we met him and we both
think your description tallies, .with this
young man. .He wore dark clothes, dark
hat, black long overcoat of a green tint
hanging from his right shoulder. Did not
look like a tramp, but he looked as If he
had lost much sleep and was played out.
He asked us for the right road to Shanlko.
I told him he wan on the road and I sug
gested to him that he might take the
railroad and get there quicker. He an
swered that he did not want to take the
railroad. I then gave him pointers on
getting to Shanlko on the right road, but
while doing so he did not seem to realize
much of all I told him, as he seemed very
sleepy. D. R. M DONALD.
After Many Yearn.
The sight of employes of the Trinidad
Asphalt Company at work trying to lay
the surface course of the pavement on
Seventh street, from Morrison to Yamhill,
attracted a group of Interested spectators
many times yesterday, who anxiously In
quired of Superintendent D. W. Taylor if
he thought he would actually got the block
paved this time. The street has been torn
up for half a year jr so, and some have
begun to Imagine that the Job is hoodooed
and will never be finished. Mr. Taylor
said he hoped to be able to get the block
completed on this occasion, and several
remarked that they could only pray for
him. He said this might do some good,
but he had about lost faith In the weather.
The spectators then fell to discussing the
few old shacks, the woodyard and' the
garbage heaps which occupy the quarter
block at Seventh and Morrison streets,
formerly owned by Emma Abbott and
now owned by her ;..--tnd. Mr. Pratt. It
was the general opinion of the crowd that
the city ought to have authority to oblige
the owner of such valuable property to
clear It off and make It decent. Ever since
last October the woodyard teams have
been hauling wood along the sidewalk on
the Seventh-Street front of this property
