THE MORNING? OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, MAT 14, a&OS.
IS PASTOR ORTHODOX?
RUESTTOX RAISED ABOUT DR. ALEX
ANDER BLACKBURX.
First Baptist Churck Will Decide
Toniglit Whether to Ask HU
Regifjnatlon.
Does Rev. Alexander Blackburn indorse
Sunday, baseball, card playins, the theater
and dancing parties? These are the ques
tions -which will be asked that gentleman
at the business meeting of the First Bap
tist Church -which will occur this even
ing at 8 o'clock -when he faces the charges
which have been filed against him by his
opponents in the congregation, and a vote
is taken on the demand of what is known
as the anti-Blackburn faction that the
pastor tender his" resignation.
The trouble -within the church has been
brewing for several months and has been
widely di&cussed through the newspapers
and by the church people of the city.
The difference originally grew out of Dr.
Blackburn's second marriage -within -what
was considered an unseemly short time
after the death of his first -wife, an in
terval of only 13 months elapsing "be
tween the two events. The opponents of
the pastor declare, however, that this is
not the actuating motive in their demand
that he resign but maintain that their
charges are based on unorthodox views
expressed by him in the matter of amuse
ments and Sabbath observance! They inti
mate further that his doctrinal views are
unsound and that a heresy trial Is a pos
sibility provided they do not obtain their
ends at tonight's meeting.
The matter -was brought to an issue
when eeven members of the church, in
good standing, signed a demand for a
special business meeting to consider
charges. This demand was presented at
the regular prayer meeting last Thurs
day evening, and the call made for to
night. The congregation consists of S00
members, of -whom 200 are nonresidents. It
is expected that practically all of the 600
resident members -will be present at the
meeting and as the forces are about
equally divided between the friends and
opponents of the pastor, a stormy meet
ing is promised. The antl-Blackburn
forces insist that the charges have noth
ing to do with that gentleman's private
character, -which they deny attacking, but
say they base their objections to him
purely on -what they term his unsound
views.
A difference of opinion exists as to the
manner of voting on the request for his
resignation, the friends of Dr. Black
burn insisting that the vote should be by
the raising of hands or viva voce method,
while the other faction maintains that a
secret ballot should be taken. This pro
posal will be the test of strength, and -will
practically determine the action taken in
reference to the enforced resignation.
Friends of the pastor insist that the
whole difficulty rests on his second mar
riage and argue that the pastor displayed
no undue haste in remarrying and that
the congregation has no right to place
him on the rack for his act. They main
tain that the opposition Is Inspired by per
sons bfnt on fomenting trouble In the
church, and express confidence that the
antls will be defeated and discredited In
tonight's meeting.
Dr. Blackburn came here four years
ago. until a short time ago his pastorate
-was highly successful. The church has
had a remarkable growth In membership
and Influence and on this account the
present trouble Is greatly deplored.
INCREASE OF RENTS.
Your Uncle Timothy Offer Some
Terse and Homely Philosophy.
SILVERTON. May 4. CTo the Edltor.)
By The Oregonlan of the 3d Inst. I per
ceive that some of the laboring men of
Portland are waking up to the effect the
Lewis and Clark Fair will have In fact,
is now having upon them in increasing
the cost of living. Indeed, they nave
passed some resolutions affording evidence
that new light is breaking in upon their
hitherto benighted minds. In their
"whereases" it is stated that thej- sub
scribed to the Fair with the understanding
that it was to enhance the general pros
perity; that the large disbursements and
the increased industrial activity thereby
would inure to their benefit as well as
others and help them to make a living,
but now they have come to a settled con
clusion that the Fair Is to be a private
graft; in fact, that the mere prospect of
a Fair, before building has begun, has
raised their rents and produced combina
tions of capital that take from them
without raising their wages to meet the
increased demands. And hence they de
clare themselves in favor of stopping the
Fair short off and propose to Invoke the
referendum in nullification. They further
propose to extend their efforts to Con
gress in dissuading that body from making
appropriations to the Fair. One would
suppose from the hearty Indignation of
the laboring men that the effects of which
they complain are something new and un
usual, and that a strange and extravagant
streak of selfishness had broken out
among the Portland real estate owners
and business men. Viewing it in this
light, the attitude of the protestants is
ludicrous in the extreme. Here they have
been living all their days, face to face
with the continuously operating causes
and effects which they denounce and de
plore, and which for the first time they
have discovered In the working of the
Fair programme. If Adam and Eve had
been as slow in getting their eyes open,
they could have eaten of the forbidden
fruit to a good old age before discovering
their need of fig leaves to hide their na
kedness. A woman keeping a millinery
store In a ground-floor room of the St.
Charles Hotel was equally surprised at
an Increase of rent wben the Morrison
street bridge was built, and in her anger
paw no remedy but to burn the bridge.
Every bridge across the Willamette raised
rents of contiguous property, and in a
less degree of all real estate in the city.
The railroads centering there raise rents;
every improvement adds to them, and all
unavoidably. Everything which adds to
the facilities for making life healthful,
progressive and pleasant In every country
adds to the cost of living to those who
pay rent.
Granting that civilization must go on,
there is no more possible evasion of such
a consequence than there Is of Jumping
over Niagara and turning back when helf
way down. And why should there be? Is
it not better to live in a city having clean
streets,, pure water, rapid transit, electric
lights and every appliance known to the
moderns than among a collection of hovels
"bordering muddy lanes, even though rents
were nominal? There is but one way of
lowering rents, anywhere, and I am not
afraid of incurring the displeasure of
property-owners by telling about it. even
though I can guarantee the effectiveness
of my plan, and that is to depopulate the
town. All hands and the cook "git up and
git." And when you have "got," the re
ceivers of rent will get upon their knees,
humble themselves in the dust and im
plore you in the name of heaven to return.
In their agony they will even give you a
year's rent free.
But you will not leave the city, and you
will not cease to enlarge. Improve and
beautify it. And when, as has often hap
pened, a holocaust sweeps it from the face
of the earth, you will cause It to rise
again, more splendid and costly, and with
more power to tax you than before. The
property-owners of Oregon's metropolis
are not unduly selfish, for they are fol
lowing the same rule they have ever fol
lowed; a rule, too. not different from every
other place in the world, and therefore
universal; a rule founded upon a funda
mental, natural law "that human beings
supply .themselves with the least exer
tlon" In other words, that they charge
all the traffic will bear. This is the key
note of competitive society, and under
conditions of equal freedom and equal op-
portunlty produces neither Injustice nor
dlstresa
Is it not a little strange, or rather un
fortunate, that rentpayers should be Igno
rant of the laws of rent, the causes of
rent and to who mrent properly belongs?
The discontented laboring men of Port
land have a grand opportunity before them
this- year and next not to stop the Fair,
but to avail themselves of it as an object-lesson,
to become acquainted with the
social problems -which must be solved by
the American people before they can
equally partake of the vast and ever-Increasing
advantages of progressive indus
trialism. When they have got their eyes
open and understand the true and equit
able relations of human beings In the so
cial state, they -will no longer grumble at
rent or that it rises -with civilization, but
proceed to its distribution among all those
who created it. T. W. DAVENPORT.
STEAMER WOULD PAY.
Xenalem-Tillaxaook Ruh. Often a
Chance for Good Investment.
"There is a good opportunity for some
man of small capital to make a good In
vestment and bring business to Portland
by running a small steamer from here to
Tillamook, Nehalem and Netarts." said
F. L. Gunn, a sawmill man of Nehalem
yesterday, to The Oregonlan. "There are
four sawmills which would be running if
there were any means of getting their
lumber to market. This section has the
largest and best timber supply In the
state, so that these mills would run for
years to come.
"You can tell what we have to contend
with when I tell you my own experience.
I had loaded a vessel at Nehalem with
about 200,000 feet of lumber and the
Wheeler lumber Company had its tug
Vosburg ready to take out the schooner
Oakland. That company asked $100 to
take the vessel out over the bar and would
not touch it till the money was up In ad
vance! It costs $12.50 a ton to get freight
Into Nehalem. It goes from Astoria on
the steamer Elmore to Tlllamock. then
It goes back either on the same cr an
other steamer to Garibaldi on Tillamook
bar, 13 miles distant. It Is then hauled
in a wagon nine miles along the beach to
the mouth of the Nehalem river and then
taken by a gasoline launch to Nehalem.
"My Idea is to get a boat to run from
Portland and market the lumber here.
There Is a good wholesale trade, which
can all be secured if there is a boat to
bring out the lumber, for the trade will
go where the lumber goes. The steamer
could make weekly trips and ought to be
kept busy, taking out 100.000 feet of lum
ber a trip. A small steamer could get
over the bar easily. There Is 12 to 14
feet of water on the Nehalem bar at
high tide, about two feet more on Tilla
mook bar, and about 11 feet on the
Netarta bar and the channels are easy
to navigate. I estimate that there Is
) $1000 to 51200 a month In freight going In
j and the freight on the lumber coming
out would be about the same. This would
make a good living for a boat which
would cost about $15,000.
"There will te a good market for lumber
in Portland for the next two years and
we can sell far below the price charged
by the Portland lumber trust. Our logs
only cost about $4 per 1000 feet, and we
can deliver rough lumber In Portland at
$13 per 1000 feet, mill run. The logs there
run a better percentage clear than here.
If some person will guarantee to take the
lumber at that price, we will undertake
to give the steamer all it can carry and
keep It busy. The people of Tillamook
offer to put $2300 Into a boat and guaran
tee two-thirds of the freight to start with.
The time of arrival of the Elmore is so
uncertain that I walked 30 miles over the
trail from Nehalem to Seaside and took
the train there; I am going back the
same way."
LIABILITY OF UNIONS.

Way to Get at Their Vitals.
PORTLAND fir. Tmr 11 (Tn thu
tor.1 The Habilltv of labor linfrms tn
damages is a" grave question not yet set
tled by the courts. The great coal strike
commissioners say that the present con
dition of the unions "does not present the
most inviting inducements to the oper
ators to enter Into eontrartnn.1 rlnMnnn
with them." That is to say that It Is
necessary that they should be responsi

sachusetts where an Injunction was asked
for asrainst the threat of thr ttnlnnc tn

said In the case on trial, "that there

thus to force the plaintiffs was unlaw-

This view tof the court was dissented
from by Justice a W. Holmes, but the
doctrine of the court was reaffirmed in
1901 In the case of Moran vs. Tinnnhv the
court declaring "We cannot admit a
doubt that maliciously and without Justi
fiable cause to Induce a third person to
ena nis employment of the plaintiff,
whether the inducement be false slan
ders or succcsslul persuasion, is an ac

Such Is the law of Massachusetts. Thus
far there Is no decided unanimity of the
courts in other states, but Is it not logical
to presume that its reasonahlpriPM -nHii

TO FINISH THE MONUMENT

Contractor Otto Schumann has the. sol
diers monument in Lone Fir cemetery,
which will be dedicated Memorial day, well
advanced, as far as .the stonework is con
cerned. The foundation and granite steps
leading up to the base of the main shaft
are completed, and the shaft will soon be
placed in position. As far as the work has
gone, those who have seen it siy that the
monument will be one of the most Im
posing and attractive in the Northwest.
Hundreds of people who have -visited the
Park block, where it is being built, and
the character of the plan and work com
mand the highest praise. The very fact
that the memorial will be severely plain,
not marred by gingerbread trimmings,
seems to attract more attention tharf any
thing else. The wholo plan is entirely
shorn of -anything that might be regard
ed as vulgar display.
The cost of the present contract, which
includes all the stonework up to the metal
figure on the shaft, will be $1753. The orig
inal contract for the stonework was $1550,
but four granite pedestals were added to
the four comers, which added $200 to the
original cost. It will cost about $1500 more
to complete the monument according to
the original plans. A metal figure of a
soldier with a flag has teen molded spe
cially for this memorial by an Eastern
firm, which will ccst about $700. Then
there will be tho metal Inscriptions and
insignia of the veterans of the four wars
which the shaft represents. These will
ccst abect $&) more, and there will bo
somo ether expenses. It is desired to have
the monument surrounded by a chain bar
ricade, attached to granite columns, for
its proper protection.
The sum of JloQO will not suffice to pay
all the cost, and the association hopes to
raise a considerable portion of this amount
Memorial day. or soon thereafter. At that
time the great crowd can see Just what
has been accomplished In one year by
the Monument Association. It Is a little
over one year since the association was
organized, and yet at the coming Memor
ial day three-fourths of the work will be
completed and paid for. Considering the
time, the association Is well satisfied, and
hopes to clean up the whole business as
soon as possible, but in any event will
not cease its labors until the monument Is
fully completed. While the G. A. R. of
Portland has aecn Instrumental In start
ing this monument, It Is for the memory'
of tho Spanb.h-Amerlcan, Civil. Mexican
and Indian War veterans, and all are alike
Interested in Its completion.

WHITE BREAD.
Another p'roof in, the Controversy.
Under certain conditions white bread,"
ootatoes and all starchy food fails to dl
rest and bowel troubles and appendicitis
are likely to follow unless the food is
changed.
After consulting five physicians, the last
three of whom declared that an operation
for appendicitis was the only way to save
her life, a young lady of Bloomlngton,
Ind., recovered her health entirely with no
other aid than Grape-Nuts, the scientific
predlgested cereal food.
She says: "Three years ago I had an at
tack of what my family physician pro-
nounced congestion of the bowels and
stomach.
"He treated me for some time, but I
continued to grow weaker, constantly sub
ject to tho same attacks. I was com
nelled to give up my studies at college.
In the meantime I consulted another
physician. Finally I went to a specialist
who pronounced it catarrn oi tne stom
ach and acute appendicitis. I was under
his care for about three weeks when I
had another attack and my parents called
other physicians, who claimed that noth
ing but the removal of the appendix
would save my life.
"My parents refused to permit this and
I was left a total wreck, weak, nervous,
unable to eat. It was then that they
tried Grape-Nuts, feeding me a teaspoon
ful three times a day. Upon this food
alone I Improved from the start to the
great wonder of my family- For two
months I ate nothing but Grape-Nuts and
drank beef tea. Since that time (which
was more than a year ago) I have not
had the slightest illness and I am now
strong and able to study again. I know
that I owe my restored health to Grape
Nuts and I now eat It constantly." Name
furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
In this case as In most cases of ap
pendicitis the trouble started with In
flammation of the bowels resulting from
the use of pasty, starchy foods that were
undigested in the stomach and went Into
the intestines in an undigested condition,
fermenting there and startlhg disease.
Too much white bread will do this. Re
lief and final cure came when the im
proper food was left off and Grape-Nuts,
(in which the "starches have been trans
formed into grape sugar by a predigesting
process), was used. Although all of the
rebuilding elements are there In Grape
'Nuts the food Is so pure that the most
delicate stomach relishes and digests It.
