TJIE MORNING OBBOONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, Mm. HEARST WILL HELP Newspaper Proprietor Favors Portland's Big Fair. WILL PUBLISH FAIR MATTER Homer Davenport "Write "Local OS dais That Syndicate Editors Hare Been. Instructed to Pay Espe cial Attention, to Exposition, A letter from Homer Davenport to Jef Jerson Myers, president of the state Lewis and Clark commission, announces that W. R, Hearst has pledged the sup port of all his newspapers to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Any matter of in terest to the fair will be published by the Hearst newspapers, and it is the plan of Mr. Hearst to devote several feature Btorles to a description of the historical events which give the fair its significance and interest. It is likely that special artists and cor respondents will be detailed by the Hearst syndicate to take up the work of the explorers, Lewis and Clark, and to de scribe the possibilities of the Lewis and Clark Pair. Mr. Davenport, In discussing this probability, declares that he would like, himself, to come to Oregon and take up the Interests of the fair. Mr. Hearst made his pledge of support to the Lewis and Clark Fair Just before he left for Europe, and he promptly in structed the men in charge of his newspa per enterprises to grant any favors the exposition officials sought. It is inferred from Mr. Davenport's letter that the work on behalf of the Lewis and Clark Fair will be taken up whenever the offi cials believe it advisable to inaugurate the campaign of publicity. Mr. Davenport was moved to bring the Lewis and Clark Fair to the attention of Mr. Hearst from the fact that he has al ways cherished a very close friendship for Oregon. He is deeply interested In the development of this state, and has not lost sight of the fact that he is an Oregon boy himself. The interest of Mr. Hearst is keener In the fair, perhaps, because his father was one of the early pioneers of the Coast. This Is a fact to which, Mr. Davenport says, Mr. Hearst called attention, and be expressed a deep interest in the work of Oregon pioneers. The Interest shown by the Hearst syn dicate in the Lewis and Clark Fair has encouraged officials connected with the Exposition who have recently been be rated for asking the support of the small er papers published in the Interior of Oregon. The press bureau of the state commission has been active In keeping the Interior press Informed regarding the progress of the fair work, but recently these newspapers, -whose districts are dl rectly benefited by the exposition, have refused to publish Lewis and Clark Ex position matter unless paid at regular ad. vertlsing rates. Another offer of co-operation -was made to the State Commission yesterday by H. J Wilson, of Roseburg. Mr. "Wilson offered to do anything In his power to aid the Commission in gathering an exhibit for the St Louis Fair and proposed to carry on the same campaign for the Lewis and Clark Exposition. "The Board of Trade at Roseburg is taking an active interest in the two ex positions," said Mr. Wilson yesterday. They arc encouraging the people of our county to prepare to make a thorough display of our resources, recognizing the fact that by this means of advertising the county will be greatly benefited. "The State Commission is doing good work and is performing this duty without compensation. It Is little enough for the rest of us to co-operate in our own districts where we can aid them without loss of time. This Is of great aid to the commissioners and bears its own reward in the return each county gets from Its displays." CHURCHES ARE TO BLAME Corruption, In Business and Politics Due to Tlieir Failure. PORTLAND, Sept 7. (To the Editor.) Modern business methods threaten pop ular government and endanger life. Greed and speed make of the business man an early physical wreck, but this is the least Important effect of business habits. They submerge his moral nature and destroy his patriotic purposes. In this crisis in our National history moral devotion and love of country are most in demand to check lawlessness and avert disaster. If It Is true that .municipal corruption Is the outgrowth of politics. It is equally true that political methods are the meth ods of business carried In to municipal governments. Ei'ils are tolerated by busl ness men in their city governments be cause the same. evils exist in their bUBl ness; hence the reformation of a city Is sure to be dependent upon the reforma tlon of Business habits. One fact is prominent and can hardly escape notice: The wealth, the great en terprises of the country, are for the most part In the hands of Christians. Rocke feller Js a Baptist; Morgan Is an EpIscO' palian. If these men adopt or tolerate doubtful or dishonest methods In busl ness, they do so from Ignorance of true Christianity. If ignorant of the demands of Christianity, it must be the fault of their several churches, which in the last analysis must be held responsible for municipal mlsgovernmeift. Commanding the wealth, directing the educational in stltutlons of the country, the responsl blllty for good government cannot be de nied or evaded by the churches. Is it credible that armies of preachers, teach ers and young people's societies should meet annually In conference and conven tlons to evangelize the heathen, while the population of our cities are perishing in worse than pagan darkness In the churches' efforts to save sinners, would they not do well to consider Christ's Instructions, that not the seekers after their own life would be successful in saving It, but those who unselfishly seek his kingdom and zealously labor to build it up in tho world by loyalty to him and devotion to our common coun try. M.S..GRISWOLD. EXCEED THEIR AUTHORITY Scriptures Do Not Order Mission arlea to Be Obnoxious. PORTLAND. Sept 7. (To the Editor.) Your article on "The Troublesome Mis Blonary" contains a great deal of truth but not all the truth. Missionaries, as a rule are self-denying and zealous, though of course as In every other walk in life there are exceptions, and it Is very natural to feel great sympathy for men who for love of Christ take their lives In their hands and go forth to teach his gospel. But the question arises: Does not their zeal occasionally lead them to exceed their authority and is not that the reason why so much animosity and consequent suffering are engendered by their presence? A reference to Luke lx:5 will disclose these words, "and whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them," and in Luke x:10, "and whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of. thatfclty, go your ways out into the streets of the same and say even the dust of your city which cleave th unto us we do -crlse 'off. against xq&u"; jmd then we are told "lt shall be more tol erable for Sodom and Gomorrah in tho day of judgment than for that city." Nowhere are the disciples (or mission aries) commanded to remain against the expressed wishes of the Inhabitants nor to force themselves unon those who ore unwilling to receive them: and" the pun ishment of those who reject them Is de ferred to the day of Judgment and not given over to the grape and cannlster of the countries from which the missionaries were sent forth. Fair play is bonny play, and the Turk who has Just as much faith ,in his be lief as we have in ours and as a rule upholds It much more conscientiously than we do, surely has the right, In the eyes of a people who preach freedom of religion as of everything else, to suit himself As to his doctrine ana to reject -what all his ancient traditions teach him Is antagonistic to his spiritual welfare. The teachings of Confucius antedate those of Christ by thousands ot years., so it is hardly to be wondered at that the Chinaman refuses to pin immediate ana implicit faith to a religign comparatively ? iff is V JVM. i new. Both the Turk and the Chinaman may, after centuries of infinite patience, during which they shall see for them selves the benefits accruing therefrom, be brought to worship Christ and him crici- fled; but to expect them to accept Im mediately and blindfolded our Ideas of worship Is to ask more than we ourselves would be willing to grant; and they may well be excused from jumping open mouthed at a religion that teaches love toward man and enforces Its acceptance at the cannon's mouth. FIAT JUSTICIA. A JOINT PRODUCTION. Ttto Men Found Who Confess to the Same Opinions. PORTLAND, Sept 7. To the Editor.) "We rise to the point of personal priv ilege: That of stating that the question we are discussing in your columns is that of the inconsistency of Christian voters declaring that "the saloon Is an evil and cannot be licensed without sin," and continuing to cast their political In fluence with parties that are irredeem ably committed to the license system. Of stating an axiomatic truth, "right is right," whether advocated ny one man or a million. That history shows that every such re form worthy of the rfame began by a per sistent minority standing against num bers, obloquy, contempt and scorn, and by virtue of their having been everlastingly and unquestionably right, finally persuad ing the majority. That a column of ridicule has not an ounce of reason; that sophistry Is not argument, but that utter evasion In ar gument of the principle under discussion is confession and admission of defeat. And, finally, that in view of the fact that not a single member of "the most," to whom our arguments were addressed. has in private converse or through, your columns combatted the correctness of our position or tne ngnteousness of our cause, we had the right to expect that a journal so ably edited and so fruitful In methods and expedients would "tell the people to go forward," and point to them the means to be adopted by and through which they could do so within the limits of their present party affiliations. F. M'KERCHER, L H. AMOS. Finest Straivberries ot the Year. Strawberries of any kind at this time of year are something of a wonder to most people, but the idea or the largest and finest strawberries of the year being In the market at this time Is enough to star tle the community. Yet this is just what has .happened. A man' has within the past two days been peddling strawberries around town, and some have been on sale In markets for 25 cents a basket, which are without doubt the largest and finest seen here or anywhere this year. They were grown somewhere along North Beach, as they were sent up on the Pot ter, butjust who tho producer is no one seems to know. If berries of this kind can be produced regularly at Long Beach at this time of year, a strawberry gar den there should he profitable, for the berries can be sold readily in any quantity for 25 cents a paUOAi &Tn nrti 3FU JVOXjJ ja&JDsneyt - ft I I I' 1 J' i 4 - I " ill ? tt 7P 8 8 - I tv & ,' '.VV Vv than it ever was before. - 1 V9- . . ' , KITTENS SWELL CHORUS CONCATENATION OF HOO BOO SENDS MANT TELEGRAMS. Initiation anjd GastroBomlo Cere monies Frequently Interrupted, to Wire Delegates at Buffalo. When tho Hoo Hoo were not busy last evening teaching the knack ot creeping over fence tops and climbing roofs to the kittens that strayed into the fold, they were sending telegrams to the annual meeting at Buffalo, N. Y., urging that the annual meeting of 1905 beheld in Port land. The members. . who attfindedthe Joint concatenation left kittens with their eyes half opened to urge ,tne New Yorkers to bring the meeting yesterday; they stopped half way through the first course DEEP-WATER OVER 'WILLOW BAR PORT OF PORTLAND DREDGE COMPLETES Important river TASK x i i l I if't The Port of Portland's dredge Columbia, has practically completed er ble undertaking at "Willow Bar, 10 miles below this city. A straight channel 0500 feet ions. 300 feet wide and 27 feet deep has been jexcavated along tbte "Washing-ton shore, and what was the most troublesome spot along the river has been made navigable for the deepest ships. The dredge will next go to Martin's Island, ajwut 16 miles further down stream, and after removing- a few lumps from the channel - there, will do similar work at Doublebower's, a few miles below Martin's. The above map shows tho "Willow Bar chan nel E-F. also the Coon, Island dike,' a portion, of which, from A 'to B, will be removed, to enable ships passlas out of tho "Willamette to strike the Columbia's current at an acute anglo instead of at right angles, as at present. A proposed Improvement Is the construction of two or more dikes below the mouth of tho "Willamette, which will hold the new channel steady, and prevent It from shifting:, as It has In the past three years.. The map shows the course taken by the current In 1900, 1901 and 1902. The black line, E-P, marks the channel over JVlllow Bar which has been dredged out. The Government engineers say that by means of dikes the shifting of the channel will be prevented. This shifting has been very trouble some and expensive to the Portf of" Portland. The 'channel to Astoria this Pali will be better in the banquet that followed to repeat the injunction and suspend the roof con cert to urge that Portland be not for gotten. The joint concatenation was one of the largest meetings of the order of the Black Cat ever held on the Pacific coast and the number of stray felines whom mem bers had brought Into town equaled that furnished at a recent meeting In Port land. There were 37 In the list of those who fathomed the mysteries of Hoo Hoo, and the entire attendance was so great that the supply of refreshments ran out and the clerks in charge of the counter fled from the building. J. B. Def ebaugh, proprietor, of the Amer ican Lumberman, published in Chicago, presided as snark at the joint concatena tion and appeared later In the evening as one of the speakers at the banquet. Mr. Defebaugh Is a former snark of tho universe and one of the most Influential Hoo Hoo In the United States. He stopped the proceedings last night . to telegraph a recommendation that the annual con ventlon of 1905 come to Portland. After Mr. Defebaugh had risen to the occasion, vicegerent Snark James A. Clock, who officiated as official barber during the eye-opening processes, hast ened to enrich the telegraph companies with a similar injunction, and then the joint concatenation lent its approval. Other officers who took part in the joint concatenation included: T. H. Claffey Seattle, senior Hoo Hoo; Frank B. Cole. Tacoma, Junior Hoo Hoo; H. A Sergeant, Portland, Bojum; w. B. Mackey, Port land, Scrlvenoter; A'B. Calder, Tacoma. Jabberweck; George EL Youle; Snark of Georgia, Custocatlan; B. H. Lewis. Se attle, Arcanoper; E. H. Habighorst, Port land, Gurdcn; T. M.

Berry of Portland, -was rec ommended to. succeed .Mr. -Clark as -vice geront snark for Oregon and J. H.' Parker, of Seattle, was recommended -to succeed B.' Clark.Evans, of Seattle, as vfcegerent snarK tor. .western Washington. John Ju. Mercer, of -Spokane,, vicegerent snark for Eastern Washington, was recommended to succeed hjmself. "Whereupon another telegram was sent urging the Hoo Hoo in Buffalo to make -short work of their de liberations over a meeting place for 1905 and give Portland the verdict. It was announced during the meeting that victor H. Beckman. of Seattle, member of the Supreme Nlrie, who has been active in the Interests of Portland is in Minneapolis, threatened with an- at tack of appendicitis. The following kittens gave solos during the evening and were admitted to the Hoo Hoo chorus that followed: A S. Collins, Seattle; M. E. McCarthy, Seattle; C. C. woodcock, Porrtland; "W. Perkins, Portland; "W. C. Blrdsall Portland; John Robin, Castle Rock; R. M, McCarthy. St. Louis; w. P. Lockwood Portland; H. O. Hays, Aberdeen; "W. McLaughlin, Cosmopolls; S. J. TV. Brown, J. J.

Mr. Cole permitted the send ing of further telegrams to Buffalo and when the statistics of the evening were gathered It "was decided that not only had the Portland delegates, -the snark or the universe and the scrlvenoter received dispatches, but most ot the delegates in attendance naa oeen appraisea or Port land's desire for the Hoo Hoo annual.

The new pump ing station which, as a sequel to the ty phoid epidemic, was built In connection with the new niter plant to supply the City of Ithaca with pure water, has caught fire from a gasoline tank. The building was burned to the ground and for a while It was feared that the city would be de prlved of a water supply. Coincident with tho fire the city has developed a gushing artesian well which flows 500,000 gallons a day.
