If River Were Deepened, Business
Would Corns Improvement of
Cowlitz and Lewis River Is
Also Advocated.
United States Senators Addison G. Fos
ter and Levi Ankeny are registered at
the Portland Hotel, where they arrived
last night, after a day's visit to "Vancou
,ver. At the Army post they investigated
the progress being made on the new
huildings, on which $400,000 will be ex
pended, and also made Inquiry about the
proposed crossing of the "railroad through
the reservation. The visitors were es
corted through the city by W. P. Con
way and A. J. Cook, and in the absence
.of Genqpal Funston, Major Evans showed
them through, the post. They were ac
companied by Mrs. Ankeny, her sister,
3Irs. McArthur; State Senator Baker, of
Klickitat County, and Thomas Samons,
private secretary to Senator Foster.
Senator Foster has Just completed a
tour through Southwestern Washington,
made principally with a view of collect
ing data on the needed improvement of
the waterways, which he will present
to the next session of Congress. First
among these contemplated improvements
Is the deepening of the Columbia River
between Its Junction with the Willamette
and Vancouver.
"It seems a pity," said Senator Foster,
last night, "not to make the river nav
igable lor large vessels as far as Van
couver, when it has already been im
proved as far as the- mouth of the Wll
iamitte, which Is only a short distance
away."
To the fact that this project has al
ready been investigated and reported ad
versely upon by Federal engineers. Sen
ator Foster presents an argument:
"I understand that the most serious ob
jection made to this proposed Improve
ment was that there was not sufficient
business done on this part of the river
to warrant the expense. I have the
greatest respect Xor the report made by
Government engineers, but I submit that
where the channel is not navigable for
big vessels, it is scarcely fair to expect
much business. If the channel were
deepened, I think the business would
come there at once. There is much lum
brr' to come out of that country, and Its
other resources have hardly been touched
y-t. The cost would probably be less
Itan $25,000."
Senator Foster also inspected the Cow
1'tz River, for the improvement of which
lie h )pc3 to get an appropriation of $15,000.
This amount would mako the river com
mercially navigable as far as Toledo, and
possibly further. On the Lewis River
53003 was expended last year, and the
Senator hopes to got still more done for
It nert season. South Bend and Willapa
Hrrbor were also visited by Senator Fos
ter, who will endeavor to have them ex
tensively remembered In the appropria
tions for rivers and harbors.
Of politics In the State of Washington
Senator F6ster would not talk, and when
It was suggested that many Washington
politicians, Including himself and Sen
ator Ankeny, State Senator Baker, E. W.
Ross, Assistant Attorn "y-fjoneral, of
Castle Rock; F. G. Ban.' .-. of Silver

SUPSEME TEST OF NERVE.
Woman Counts Steadily While Sur
geon Operates on Her Neck.
To lie on an operating table and count
3, 2, 3, while a surgeon is carving your
neck with a knife, the keen edge of which
feels like as if it had teeth like a crosscut
saw, Is a tqst of nerve and grit that few
would like to endure. But a woman pa
tient in one of the local hospitals went
through this ordeal recently, and it is
.declared that she actually went
to sleep and slumbered as peace
fully as a child before the Incision
waa sowed up. The operation was per
formed without the use of an anesthetic
of any kind to allay the pain.
It was an operation to remove a goitre
from the neck, and was performed by Dr.
A. L Rockey. In such, operations an
anesthetic is not used when it can be
dispensed with because the affected gland
Is permeated by branches of the pneu
xnogastrlc nerve that controls the vocal
cords and, when the patient Is uncon
scious, it .Is extremely difficult to avoid
cutting one of these small nerves by mis
take. Such an accident would deprive the
patient of speech. "When possible, the m-
tiont is given no anesthetic and Is kept
counting while the cutting Is in progress.
"When a nerve is reached, it is squeezed
between the prongs of a pair of forceps
and. If it Is a branch of the pneumogastrlc
nerve, the vocal cords become paralyzed
and the surgeon knows that that nerve
most not bo touched by the knife. It is
to detect these nerves that .the patient is
Jcept counting.
"With a remarkable exhibition of endur-
jsnco and grit, the patient lay and counted
Ummber after number while the surgeon

"Its fierce, for a fact," ventured some
body.
Mr. Miller nodded, and continued:
'I observe that Stato Superintendent
Ackerman has proposed to add .another
text-book In agriculture,, if I am not mis
taken to the already surfeited list of
studies. "But where's the limit?- If wo
are already, past It, how much further
can we go beyond It? "Where are reading,
writing and arithmetic?
Why Not Law and Bacteriology?
"A text-book on agriculture would con-
tain much valuable Information, no doubt.
So would a text-book on cooking, or on
dressmaking or aerial navigation. A text
book on law might be the means of sav
ins plunder from the lawyers. A text
book on the Bible might save the minis
ter's salary. Since divorce Is on the In
crease, a text-book on marriage might be
wholesome. And, Inasmuch as the fatate
Board of Health wants us all to . drink
pure water, the children might profit from
a text-book on bacteriology.
"But the truth is that pupils today need
fewer text books and more solid knowl
edge.

"Present-day life, with Its enormous
combination of forces and concentration
of effort, tends to suppress Individuality
and to make men mere creatures. These
men unthinkingly support schools which

Emerson said: 'Nature arms each man
with such faculties as will enable him to
do some feat impossible to any other."
"Every child comes into the world with
an individuality. The ono great aim of
education should be to preserve and bring J
out and develop that Individuality. But
our educational system smothers Individ

"The course of study is so crowded that

"No doubt we should all profit from
an expert knowledge of agriculture. A
little practical knowledge, however, is
a valuable asset, even If we have to go

"Once "upon a time a professor In the

The Senator had drifted down from Llnn-
County to the Good Hoads Convention.-
Mr. Miller is a Democrat and has such
a host of admirers In his county that they
sent him to the Legislature. Through his
influence the Legislature adopted a con
current resolution last Winter, reoufist-
ing the State Board of Education "so to

"There," said Mr. Miller, adverting to
the resolution with a satisfied air, "that's

Legislature, too. And it's In the minds of

DUSS TALKS OF ORCHESTRA AS
DISTINGUISHED FROM BANDS
F 50,000 men were to blow on a
monster cornet. It would certain
ly be noley," said J. S. Buss, the
millionaire conductor of the Metropolitan
orchestra, to mo yesterday. "It might-
also be music, and it might not. It ls
tone that makes music good or bad,
not volume."
I had suggested to Mr. Duss that the
wood and string Instruments in his fa
mous organization outbalanced the brass,
and Mr. Dussliad smiled in pity
""On the contrary," he said, "our
brass instruments are numerous and
heavy. It does not follow that they" shall
therefore make the orchestra sound like
a band."
From which it may be gathered by the
inexpert in music that the gap is wide
Indeed between the music of a band and
that oft an orchestra.
It is hard to believe that Duss is an
entirely American product, that he was
born In this country and received his
whole musical education here. That a
man to whose baton beat a forest of
violin bows sways back and forth should
have been bom In Economy, Pa., ls
strange. That a man who commands a
multitude of dark-eyed and long-haired
musicians from sunny Italy, and other
be-spectacled and pompadoured German
masters of sounding brass and deep
voiced 'cellos, should have llyed most of
his life and received the basis of his mu
sical education In Economy, Pa., Is al
most weird.
Economy, Pa., was founded by a Ger
man sect whose belief decreed frugality
and all the virtues of the Quakers, but
also discountenanced marriage. The nat
ural result of this was the gradual ex
tinction of the sect, and Duss, who was
orio of the last children born to the orig
inal colonizers, was appointed ono of the
trustees of the community's property',
valued at many millions, and in time fell
heir to much of It. Mr, Duss does not
conduct an orchestra because he has to.
nor because he needs the money,

Building and Stock Destroyed .by
Work of Incendiary Straw
Burns Until Deluged.
The fire which broke out in P. Sharkey
& Co.'s collar factory on Union avenue
and East Yamhill street yesterday morn
ing caused damage estimated at $15,000.
Edward Sharkey, who succeeded his
father in the management of the factory
on the death of the latter, said his loss
would foot up to $12,500, and he carried
?GO00 insurance on his stock. Outside the
stock comes the great loss In orders that
were urgent to be Oiled. Joseph Paquet
owned the building, which is two stories
high, and was valued at about $3500, part
ly covered by Insurance. It can prob
ably be .repaired for $1500. The lower floors
fell in and the front is wrecked. The en
tire stock ls ruined, although there may
be some salvage In the machinery. Mr.
Sharkey had the damaged horse .collars
removed into the street, but ho said that
they were of small value.
In the basement 50 tons of straw were
stored, used for cocking for the collars.
It was in the straw that the fire started
and kept the firemen busy until lato
yesterday forenoon. The entire mass of
straw had to be deluged with water in
order tQ extinguish the fire. Mr. Shar
key believes the flro was the work of an
incendiary-
"We had no fire about the premises,"
he said. "The place has been robbed sev

AURORA MANSE CONSECRATED.
Church Built Forty Years Acjo Sa
cred to Memory of Dr. Kell.
Rev. August Krause, pastor of the St.
Paul German Lutheran Church, East"
Twelfth and Clinton streets, went to
Aurora last week to assist in the formal
dedication of the fine eight-room manse
that has been completed by the German
Lutherans of that place. After the dedi
cation, in the presence of a large assem
blage, a mission festival was held. All
the services were well attended. The Ger
man Lutherans of Aurora now have a
new parsonage and a new church build
ing as well, the latter erected two years
ago, whllo Rev. Mr. Mack was pastor.
There Is a halo of historic romance
around the old German Lutheran Church
that stands in Aurora today, carefully
closed for the past 26 years since the
death of Dr. Kell, the founder of the
German community at Aurora 40 years
ago. In thi3 church the community was
wont to gather, for worship from its
foundation, but on the death of Dr. Kell
the church doors were closed to all pub
lic worship, as its preclnct3 were held
sacred to the memory of Dr. Keil. Since
the dissolution of the community rela
tions, the building has been carefully
looked after and repaired when neces
sary, but has never been opened since
1S77. When the German Lutherans de
cided to reopen in Aurora, they built an
entirelv new church., leaving the old
I building to stand silent and unoccupied
to the memory of ur. i.qu.
by the war rumors, but somo home rail
ways also suffered heavily.
