THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. TUESDAY, OCTOBER '6, 1903. KEEPING THE FEAST "Jewish Congregations Begin Great Celebration OF THE ENTRY INTO PALESTINE i TlianUsKivInp: for Harvest Observed With. Quaint Ceremony by Ortho dox and Reformed Singing Praise la. Tabernacle, At the'synagogues and temples through out the city last night, Lukkoth services were held which inaugurated Sakkoth, or the Festival of Tabernacles. This festival, which Is of nine days dura tion, is a time of feasting and rejoicing 'among the Jews, who thus commemorate the attainment of the promised land by the children of Israel after 40 years ' in the wilderness, where they dwelt in rude booths for shelter, and suffered great deprivation. By it they also celebrate the gathering of the harvests and the frultfulness of the land, and one day is set apart for praise and thanksgiving to the Almighty Father for the blessings thus bestowed. The Hebrews also call this festival Chag-Ha-Asif, which signifies the harvesting of fruit and storing of oil and wine. The celebration begins on Fisbri, or the 14th day of the month, ac cording to the Jewish calendar, which is a lunar one. Trie first two days are termed days of holy convocation, and are held sacred. Hoshanah Rabba is the sev enth day, which means "the great Ho sanna," or a supplication for help, and on this day special prayers for the general welfare of all mankind are offered. On the eighth day Sh' 'Mini Atzereth, or the conclusion of the feast ing, the prayers are for propitious weather and another fruitful harvest. Sinchath Torah Is the ninth and final day of this festival, on which day the Pentateuch Is read hence its name, which signifies re joicing In the law". Service at Reform Synagogue. In the reform congregation, which in Portland is represented by Temple Beth Israel, services are held only during two days of this time of rejplclng the first, or holy day, and the eighth, at the latter of which both Sh' Mini Atzereth and Sinchath Torah are celebrated. The serv ices were conducted at the temple last night by Eev. Dr. Liovine, of New York, who Is temporarily occupying the pulpit during the absence of Dr. "Wise. After the services, during which a beautiful spe cial musical service was sung, the con gregation repaired to the tabernacle or booth which had been prepared for the oc casion and partook of the feast. This morning at 10 o'clock Dr. Levine will de liver a sermon on the "Lesson of the Fes tival of the Tabernacle, or the Brother hood of Man," in which he will point out how this festival should tend to bring us. to the realization of that great idea, the brotherhood of man. There will also be a special musical service today. ' "With Ancient Ceremony. The conservatives, who are well repre sented by Ahavl Sholom, held services last night at their synagogue on Sixth street, ' near Oak, conducted by their pastor. Rev. Dr. Abrahamson. This synagogue has a particularly elaborate booth or tabernacle, around whlclt the congregation gathered and gave thanks for the plenty with which it was blest. The booth consisted of a long arbor covered with greens and sheaves of grain, from the top of which hung fruits of many varieties, all making a pretty picture of the harvest home. The long tables underneath were tastefully decorated, and cake and wine were served to all. Thl3 morning Rev. Dr. Abraham son will conduct services in Hebrew, and tonight at 7:20 Dr. Irvine will deliver one of his able sermons, at the conclusion of which the congregation will again partake of the feast. The conservative and orthodox congrega tions hold their special services on the first, second, eighth and ninth days of the festival. Many quaint customs of beauti ful Import are followed during these serv ices. During the recitation ofthe Halel or psalms of praise to the Lord, willows, myrtle twigs and palm tree branches are held in the hand, and each synagogue has a citron which comes direct from Jerusalem and is also used at this time. Services will be held in all synagogues to day in celebration of this festival. BY MALICIOUS VANDALS. "Wagon, and Harness Are Ont and Slashed. "Without a scintilla of motive, so far as can b,e ascertained or even thought of, miscreants entered the barn in which Henry J. Faust, who keeps the grocery store on the corner of Powell and East ti'wenty-slxth streets, has his two delivery wagons, business buggy, harness and horses, and damaged the rigs and harness to an amount of not less than $m "When Mr. Faust entered the stable Sunday he was amazed to find the damage that had been done the night before. The stable stands about 800 feet, south cast from' the store, and only a short dis tance from Mr. Faustf s residence on the Powell road. In the stable were single andVdoublo delivery wagons in fine condi tion, and a business buggy, with the horses and harness. The covers of both wagons -were -slashed with a knife and ruined. Great rents were cut on both sides of the cover, ' and in the tops, so that they will have to be replaced with new ones. Having ruined the covers, the vandals turned their attention to the woodwork. "With a fine-toothed saw, such as is used In cutting iron, about a dozen spokes were sawed through In all three rigs. In sev eral places the cuts did not go entirely through and the spokes hung by a thin part of the wood. Both shafts .of the buggy were sawed partly through in two places, and will have to be replaced with new ones. Some of the felloes were partly sawed through to the tire. Two sets of single and one set of double harness hung on hooks in the stable near the stalls of the horses. These were literally- cut in pieces. The heavy leather tugs were cut through. It would have kept two persons busy for at least two. hours to accomplish all the damage that was done. Entrance was effected Into the barn through a small opening for ventilation near where the horses stand. Nothing was taken, and the sole object was to do as much damage as possible. The stable was probably en tered after 12 o'clock Saturday night, for people were up In the dwellings just north. A resident said he heard a noise in the barn, but thought nothing of it, as he supposed the horses had caused It. Officers Joseph" Relslng and I. G. Car penter were called out to investigate the case, and spent Sunday and part of yes terday In searhlng for clues. As far as known, Mr. Faust has not an enemy in the world. He has been in the grocery bulslness in that neighborhood for several years, and enjoys the respect of every one. His store has been robbed once or twice, but little was taken. "I have no suspicions as to who would be guilty of such an outrage," said Mr. Faust last evening. A -piece of a broken saw with a narrow blade and sharp teeth was picked up by the officers yesterday. It may be part of the one used in sawing the wagons, and may have been' broken while in use. A resident said yesterday he believed that the men who entered the stable were the same ones who attempted to burn the Clinton Kelly schoolhouse three months ago. Mr. Faust said last evenlnffthat he would willingly pay liberally for any in formation that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty ones. WILL COMB TO PORTLAND. Rev, K. Marcotte Accept "Westmin ister Presbyterian Church Call. Rev. Henry Marcotte, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria, will ac cept 'the call extended him by the "West minster Presbyterian Church, of the East Side. "Word was received yesterday that the congregation of the Astoria church had released him so he can accept the call. He has been pastor of the Astoria church for the past seven years. A new edifice is being completed by the Astoria church costing $10,000, and will be dedi cated in November, leaving Rev. Mr. Mar cotte free to enter on his Portland work about the first of December. Asrainst Steel Span. , A remonstrance against the erection of steel spans across Sullivan's Gulch at Union and Grand avenues has made its appearance In the district that -will be as sessed should the bridges be built. The Oregon Real Estate Company heads the remonstrance, which will be presented to the Council at Its next meeting. It is urged that the two steel spans proposed will cost $165,000, which would be too heavy a burden for the property which it is In tended to assess. It Is also suggested that It would be better to build wooden bridges Instead of steel. East Side Xotcs. Emory W.

Because $24 rent Is unpaid, trouble has arisen between a religious organization known as the Volunteers of America, whose headquarters are In a hall at Sec ond and Burnside streets, the owners of the property, and a man known as "Sir" Edward H. Beals, an Independent reli gious worker, and It seems nowthat the premises will be occupied bfasaloon keeper, who offers to pay $100 per month. The Volunteers promised to pay one-half that sum per month, but have not been able to do so, as collections have been slow, owing to lack of attendance at their meetings. The first hint of trouble came yesterday morning, when Mrs. Cap tain Kilgore, of the Volunteers of Amer ica, returned to Second and Burnside streets; after a sojourn with her husband at their Columbia River ranch. She found Beals in the act of removing benches In the hall where she had labored to save souls, and was grieved to learn that a saloonkeeper was about to move in. She locked a padlock attached to a rear door, while a representative of the in coming tenant locked a padlock on the front door. "Mr. Beals Is an impostor, but my hus- pband and I hope to save his soul some cay," said Mrs. Kilgore on the sidewalk. "We were merely trying to hold the bar racks -until Colonel "Walter Duncan, of San Francisco, commanding the Pacific Coast Division, sent officers to relieve us. We wish to retire, Beals is not a member of the Volunteers of America." "When Beals heard what Mrs. Kilgore had said about him, he remarked: "She Is a . "Well, I won't say it, as It is a rather unchristian term of speech. The Kilgores haven't done a lick of work for some time. I have " letters from Colonel Duncan asking me 'to close the tiall, and place the furniture In storage until the new officers arrive. I was ap pointed a probationer officer, with the rank of Lieutenant." Beals' , friends say that ho is the son of an English baronet, and was a wild boy In his youth. It Is stated that enmity started between Beals and Mr. Kilgore some little time ago, because Kilgore ob jected to the late hours Beals kept. Mrs. Captain Kilgore holds a commission signed by General Balllngton Booth, head of the Volunteers of America, 'Tnr a probationary officer of the Vol unteers of America," said Edward H. Beal. No, he's not Forecast Official Ed ward A. Beals. "Tho Kilgores aro not members 'Of tho Volunteers any more; they have resigned. They have been col lecting money for this reading-room and mission for some time, and I believe that little of it was used for its support They have been out on their timber claim all the time and have paid no attention to the mission at all. "When we rented the place we agreed to give it up on short notice to any one who would pay a higher rent. So when this man Wat kins, who wants to run a saloon and variety place, offered to pay our landlord $100 a month, we had to give the place up." FIRST STORM OF SEASON Guaty "Wind Blows From Ocean, Driving Rain "With It. The first severe storm of tho "Winter burst over Portland yesterday and gave the city a thorough scouring' with wind and water. The gale was severe, and, though it was gusty In nature it fre quently reached a velocity of about 40 miles an hour. The precipitation was not heavy, but the wind made it appear more severe than it really was. The storm was general over Oregon and "Washington and more severe on the coast than here. The wind blew with a velocity of 70 miles an hour in some localities, but no reports of damage were received at the local weather bureau yesterday. The storm made its appearance off the "Washington Coast last Saturday. After moving inland a short distance it Was forced back to sea, and on Sunday was not visible on the weather map. Yes terday it again made its appearance and was central over Vancouver Island. The storm was of marked energy and ac companied by a severe gale. Reports yes terday morning from the mouth of the Columbia River were that the wind 'was blowing at the rate of CO miles an hour. Later in the day the velocity was in creased to 70 miles. Strong gales blew all along tho Oregon and "Washington coasts and at sea. The rainfall in Portland was not steady, but was heavy at times. The wind kept up nearly all day, but was variable in velocity. The total precipitation in tMs city as measured last night was .23 of an inch. "While the storm was extensive, it is not believed that any great damage re sulted from it, because storm warnlnga were put up throughout the district la time for preparations to be made for tho change in weather. Scalded by Escaping; Steam. P. B. Jones, a water carrier of Oregon City, was badly scalded yesterday morn ing by steam from a pony engine used on the fill on the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company's new line near Ross' Island. The engine crashed into some dump cars on the fill with tho result that It was damaged and steam escaped. The steam burned Jones' hands, legs and fore head, but his injuries are not serious. He was moved to the Good Samaritan Hospital. The rails were slipper and the engineer could not stop the locomotive in time to prevent the collision. " BUSINESS JTEMS.

McKinney Say If Railroad Were Ran ThroBRh Center of State Population Wo aid Quick ly Pass Million Hark. G. SL McKinney, representative of the Harrlman Immigration Bureau,- of Chi cago, spent yesterday in Portland and w'lll be in Oregon for some days securing sta tistics showing what results have been ac-. compllshed In this state by the bureau. The Information which he gets will bo compiled in .a report showing how many persons have been brought here through the influence of the bureau, what addl- IMMIGRATION AGENT OF THE HARR1MAN LINES. GV3I. M'KEfNEY, tlonal wealth has been added to that of the state and what developments have taken place as a result of the Influx of these people. Mr. McKinney is enthus iastic over the manner in which Oregon is attracting tho attention of people in other portions of tho ' oountry, and the unbounded opportunities that are offered here for still further Increase in popula tion and development. He -declares that if Central Oregon were easy of access, the million mark In population would be reached In a very short time. Mr. McKinney spent yesterday In con sultation with General Passenger Agent "W. EL Coman, of the Southern Pacific, and A. Lu Craig of the O. R. & N., dis cussing plans for more extensive adver tising of Oregon throughout the other portions of the country. Ho will spend th next few days traveling around gath ering the information that ho wants for his report, and then will return to Port land. In discussing what has been ac complished by the immigration bureau in this state and what is yet to bo accom plished, Mr. McKinney said: 'ISinco the Immigration bureau was or ganized, a number of towns in Oregon, along the lines of the O. R. & N. and the Southern Pacific, have almost doubled their population. In 18 months Grant's Pass has more than doubled its size. The population has Increased from 2200 to 4500. The towns along the railroad Hne3 are growing rapidly. Even Heppner, which received such a severe blow, is picking up fast. "We hope to see the increase In population reach the 50,000 mark this year. In Portland, the increase in popu lation is conservatively, estimated at 12,000. If the people of Portland are willing to spend a little money In properly advertis ing tho place, there Is no reason why the Increase should not continue at an even more rapid rate. "To almost every one the results of the work of the Immigration bureau are ap parent. The results are obtained by systematic and judicious advertising, Lit erature is secured which tells of the country in an interesting manner, yet deals entirely in plain facts. "We want no hot-air advertising. Give the people the cold facts and that Is sufficient to Interest them in this country. It each city and district will prepare literature fulfilling these requirements. It will be placed where every bit of it will bo utilized and will bring results. "It might be of Interest to know Just how Oregon is being advertised to the world. "Wo have eight men who aro trav eling through the country lecturing on the attractions and opportunities in the state. These men are provided with all the necessary information In regard to climate, prices of land, localities and Euch matters that all prospective residents desire to know about. They are prepared to answer any questions that may be asked them. Then we have eight men with moving picture machines showing the scenes in Oregon. These speak for themselves. I have been told by men who are competent Judges that these views are the finest that have ever been secured anywhere in the country. It may be of interest, also, to know that there is a very great' demand for these pictures and they are being sold by the thousands of feet. The same scenes are being shown all over the world, and it is in this manner that Oregon is being advertised. "To be certain that people, whom we send here will be satisfied, we make It a point to learn just what kind of climate and location a settler wants. "When we learn this we pick out a place that will suit his desires and furnish him with all information concerning it. Then when he has decided to move here, we havo an agent to meet him at tho depot and wel come him that he may be made to feel at home. "The utmost precaution Is taken to see that all literature sent out reaches the parties for whom it is intended. Those who furnish us tho mailing lists, guaran tee to pay for the literature and tho post- age If the material is not delivered prop erly. In this manner we lose nothing. "There Is a vast area of Central Oregon, fertile and rich with possibilities, that is scarcely settled because it is so difficult of access. If this country could be opened up and provided with railroads, I have no doubt but the population of the state would reach the million mark in a short time. Tho resources are undoubtedly there, and all that Is necessary is to make the district accessible. The possibilities for irrigation in "this district aro great. In fact, an empre lies there "waiting to be developed." LAW FOR PAWNBROKERS Hoard of Trade Propose Ordinance to Rernlate Their Baaines. In addition to electing another good sized class of applicants for membership and transacting a considerable amount of routine business at Its regular meet ing last night, the Portland Board of Trade went on record as favoring a re vision of tho city ordinances governing the vocation of pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers. G. "W. AJlen, the at torney, to whom the matter had been referred for Investigation, made a de railed report showing considerable re search and - consideration. Mr. Allen reported - that the ordinance now In force In Minneapolis regulating the vocation of pawnbrokers and second hand dealers,-while held to be perhaps the most effective ujpon the statute books OF CHICAGO. of any municipality and in the main fa vored by Mayor "Williams and Chief of PolIceVHunt, met with considerable oppo sition from those engaged. In these voca tions In' this city. The principal features of the ordinance obleetnd to am thnan requiring the giving of bonds, Sunday closing ana tne detailed record of all pledges and purchases. These clauses the local pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers believe would Injure their busi ness, some of them going to far as to contend that such regulations wnnir! fnn them to retire from business entirely. In Minneapolis the enforcement of the ordi nance Is said to have resulted in the breaking up of many gangs of petty thieves and a material decrease in petty thieving. After hearing the report of Mr. Allen, C. M. Idleman moved that th rnmmitfoo prepare an ordinance along the lines of the Minneapolis ordinance with such modifications as might best meet local conditions and present the same to the council. Other matters that received oonnMnr able attention were the desirability of ainuaung witn tno .National Board of Trade and the resurrection of the State Board of Trade that died "a homin' about a year ago, but In the absence of aetaiiea lmormauon action was post poned until somo future meetlntr.

The human body will stand a lot of abuse but sometime It will surely rebel and demand the proper food in place of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on which it has been made sick. Then is the time to feed Grape-Nuts, the most scientific and perfect food in the world. A lady of Washington says: "Three years ago I was very ill with catarrh of the stomach and was given up to die by one doctor. I laid In bed four months and my stomach was so weak that I could not keep down medicine or hardly any kind of food and was so weak and emaciated ofter four months of this star. vatlon that my daughtefconld easily lift me from bed and put me in my chair. But weak as my stomach was, it accepted and relished and digested Grape-Nuts, without any diffculty the first time that wonderful food was tried. "My doctor told me that I would have to eat Grape-Nuts, which were pre- dlgested, and although I felt certain I could not keep the food on my stomach I had to make the trial and It was a most complete success. I am now strong and In better health than for a great many years and am gradually growing still stronger, I rely on Grape-Nuts tor most of the nourishment that I get The re sults have certainly been wonderful in my case and prove that no stomach is so weak it will not digest Grape-Nuts. "My baby got so. fat from feeding on Grape-Nuts I was afraid I would have to stop feeding1 them to hlra but I guess it Is a healthy fat for his health Is just perfect."

' POLICY AGAIN ATTACKED MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION OX REC ORD AGAINST GAMBLING. They Dchohrcc ike License System, and Criticise the City Ad ministration. At tho regular monthly meeting of the Portland Ministerial Association yester day a resolution was adopted condemning tho policy of the city administration In regard to gambling The resolution was introduced by the Rev. J. H. Gibson and passed unanimously. The Ministerial Association does not in clude the Roman Catholic, the Episco palian or Jewish or Unitarian clergy, be ing composed entirely of- tho evangelical sects. The meeting yesterday was not fully attended, owing partly to the fact that the Methodist church Is holding a Conference at Salem, and that all the local Ministers of that denomination are absent from the city. . Among other absentees were Dr. E. P. Hill and Rev. W, S. Gil bert. The adoption of tho resolution was pre ceded by a somewhat heated debate, In which The Oregonlan was criticised for having, so the speakers said, opposed all the efforts of the association to reform Portland in general and in particular to close gambling. To none of .the ministers apparently did it occur that The Oregonlan has, from tho first agitation .of tho gambling question, taken the lead In reporting all the facts co.nnected with the movement. Beginning with the first Interview with Mayor Wil liams, In which his policy was qutllned. and which called forth an open letter from -Dr. Edgar P. Hill, down through a long line of meetings and announcements, to the last formal statement of the Mayor In this connection, The Oregonlan has not only recorded the facts first but has done It so fully that there remained nothing more to be said. Not only has it pub lished complete reports of every happen ing in this connection that could be of any Interest to the public, but it hog been at great pains to solicit and collect addi tional data, if such there should be. Its business as a newspaper was to record the facts and happenings in the case, and this has been completely done. "We need expect no assistance from The Oregonlan," said Dr. E. -I. House at the meeting yesterday. "A committee from the Municipal Association called on the editor some time ago, and he told them frankly that The Oregonlan would not take any part in any crusade against the Mayor." The Rev. J. H. Gibson and a number of other clerics also addressed the meet ing to the same effect. The resolutions adopted read In part as follows: Whereas, The Executive Department of the City of Portland has assumed the pre rogatives of both the legislative and judic ial, In that It has inaugurated a system of "license fines" whereby gambling Is vir tually legalized and protected, and this In flagrant violation of the law of both the state and the municipality, at the same time outraging the' sentiment of all good citi zens; therefore, be It Resolved, That with all tho moral influ ence of which we aro possessed as citizens of Portland and vicinity, and as ministers of the Gospel of Christ, we condemn the attitude and conduct of the Executive. De partment of the City of Portland In the shameful matter herein referred to. After appointing a committee of five to decide on what steps should be. taken to secure a stricter observance of the Sab bath, the association adjourned.

By tho compromise which has been effected between the Pacific States Tele phone &'Telegraph Company and the of ficers of the "Western Conference of Elec trical "Workers, the local linemen who have been on strike for several months returned to work yesterday morning. Though the company will retain the men who stood by it during the strike, places will be found for the old employes who went out cn the sympathetic strike In order to better the' conditions of the linemen in California. "When tho strike was ordered and the local union agreed to follow the example of the California unions and go out, the linemen hero declared themselves well satisfied with the wages. As a result of the strike, however, they have, returned to go towork for better pay than- here tofore.

As the strike has been closed with a compromise, neither side can lay claim to a complete victory. The company at first declared that it would not recog nize the union, but has apparently now done so In bringing about the official end of the strike. The union on the other hand Issued statements to the effect that all nonunion men must be discharged be fore they would return to work. They lost this po'jnt. I "WANT HARRY TO COME DOWN. Federated Trades AsIc Ills Removal as State Organlexr. Tho scalp of G. Y. Harry as state or ganizer for the American State Federa tion of Iabor Is being sought by the Fed erated Trades Council of Portland. A letter has been sent to the "Washington. D. C, headquarters of the Federation and a reply Is dally expected. In this letter the Federated Trades Council asked that Harry be removed. t The complaint made against Harry is ' that ho does not do enough work In return for his salary. Several stormy meetings have been held with Harry as the ob ject of the storm. He appeared at one session, so the delegates say. and earn estly requested that his removal be not sought by the Portland unions. Harry has many friends and they backed up his promises of satisfaction in the future. His enemies, however, were not to be put off, and they apparently captured a recent meeting of the Federated Trades Council and the resolution authorizing the secretary to prepare a letter to the National headquarters was passed. It Is said that G. B. Pierce, who has been working in the interests of the American Federation of Labor in Portland for the past few months, will be recommended for tho position now occupied by Mr. Harry. More Cold-Storage Salmon. ASTORIA, Oct, 5. (Special.) The han dling of salmon in cold storage on the Col umbia River will be considerably Increased next year.
