Tribute to Rev. A. N. Fishek. Rev.
Albert N. Fisher, D. D.f the retiring: edi
tor of the Pacific Christian Advocate, will
be missed In the Methodist circles of
Portland, and at -a recent meeting of the
Methodist preachers the following resolu
tion complimentary to his services here
and his great worth as a Christian man
and pastor was unanimously passed by a
standing vote: "As members of the Port
land Methodist Preachers Meeting, we
embrace this opportunity of recording our
high esteem of the Rev. Albert N. Fisher,
r. D.. the retiring editor of the Pacific
Christian Advocate, who for the 12 years
past has gone in and out among us as a
brother beloved. His position has been
an onerous one. complicated by many dif
ficulties Incident to the heterogeneous and
much-scattered population, but amid it all
he has borne himself with Christian dig
nity and fidelity. His work will live as
an Integral part of the religious life of
the Pacific Northwest. His long and va
ried experience as a Methodist preacher,
united with a vivacity and choor pos
sessed by few, has made him an invalu
able factor in our local work, and we
hope he may continue his residence in
this beautiful city for many years."

pose of beautifying Sellwood. and putting
It in shape for the 1S05- Fair. The prizes
were not selected, but they will be cash
or books. A committee will be appointed
later to make examinations this Fall of

Bedfellow Robbed Him. George Tra
vis, of 442 East Eleventh street, went to
sleep In a barn Monday night. There was
another man in the same place, but Tra
vis did not pay any attention to him, not
even taking the trouble to form his ac
quaintance. When he awoke yesterday
morning he was sorry he hadn't culti
vated his fellow-barnstormer. His sorrow
was occasioned by the fact that $15 In
cash was missing from his pockets. Need
less to say the stranger was also not
thereabouts. Travis got what consola
tion he could by telling his troubles to
the police.

TITLE TO LAND ATTACKED.
Thirty Thousand Acres In Southwest
ern Oregon Is Attacked.
The validity fo the title to 30.003 acres
of valuable timber and agricultural land
In Southwestern Oregon which have been
in the possession of the Southern Oregon
Company and its predecessors for the past
30 years, will be tested by a suit filed
yesterday in United States Circuit" Court
by L. K. Nichols, of Marshfield, as com
plainant against the Southern Oregon
Company, a corporation organized under
the laws of this state and of which Elijah
Smith, the weil-known capitalist of Bos
ton and Portland, and R. E. Shine, of Em
pire, Or., Is secretary-treasurer.
The suit thus instituted is the culmi
nation of a long-standing contention on
tho part of certain citizens of Coos County
that the Federal enactment under which
the lands were appropriated .to tSie state
and subsequently to corporations and In
dividuals were being Ignored.
The history of tho case runs Dack to
ISO, when Congress granted 60,000 acres
of land in Coos and Douglas Counties to
the State of Oregon to be sold and dis
posed of .under certain restrictions, the
proceeds to bo devoted to the construc
tion of a military wagon road from nav
igable water at Coos Bay to Roseburg.
Tne grant included every odd numbered
section on either side of tho proposed
road, to bo held In trust by the state and
disposed of to actual settlers at a price
not exceeding $2.50 per acre In tracts not
exceeding 16) acres to any one person.
The state accepted the grant, and short
ly afterward the Legislature transferred
half of it to a corporation which con
tracted to construct the road. In due
time the road was built, and the road com
pany went out of business, making a sale
of the lands to a certain John Miller,
who in turn transferred It to Collls P.
Huntington, Charles Crocker, Leland
Stanford and Mark Hopkins. Crocker
purchased tho Interests of his associates,
and after holding it for a time, passed it
on to Russell Sage, the famous Wall
street operator, from whom eventually
title passed to the Oregon Southern Im
provement Company, and at last to the
Southern Oregon Company, tho defend
ant in the present action. Meanwhile the
Government issued patents to the land In
1S74, and while there has been much agi
tation against the corporation, the suit
brought by Mr. Nichols is the first time
tho question has been brought Into the
courts.
The complaint recites the facts as set
forth above and recites further that the
plaintiff, acting under the provisions of
the original ait has repeatedly made a le
gal tender of $2.50 per acre for a quarter
section of the land included in the grant;
that the Southern Oregon Company has
refused to accept his offer and deed him
the land, that the present value of the
quarter section in question is in excess
of $2W3; that the complainant Is a bona
fide prospective ' settler, and that the
Southern Oregon Company is acting in
violation of the act of Congress of 1S69.
He asks that an order be Issued out of
court directing the defendant to com
ply with Its contract and issue a deed .to
the quarter section on which the suit Is
based.
Elijah Smith, president of the; South
ern Oregon Company, declares- that the
purpose of the suit filed by Nichols Is
speculative; that he Is a resident of
Marshfield. a dry goods clerk and in no
sense: a bona fide settler on the land. He
believes- the salt to have been prompted
by persons who desire to obtain posses
sion of valuable tracts of timber land
now In the possession of the company,
and that their purpose Is fraudulent. The
contention of the company will be that
the land was deeded to it outright, and
that the lands bad ceased to be a trust
before It obtained possession, and that the
act of IS no longer applies.
WEEL-KHOWE" AETIST COMmtx.
Eanger Irving Couse Will Study In
dians In Oregon.
Eanger Irving Couse. who, with Mrs.
Couse, Is expected to arrive In Portland
this morning as the guest of Mrs. Charles
Jvamm at zlo Fourteenth street, enjoys an
International reputation as an artist of
ability, creative power and force. His
name is most familiar to the artistic pub
lic on both continents, and the many dis
tinctions he has won In competition with
other well-known artists stamp his work
as of great merit.
Mr. Couse developed a talent for draw
ing as a small boy, but did not receive
Instruction until he was about 17 years
of age. when he entered the Academy of
Design in New York. The four years he
studied in this country laid a foundation
for the finishing touches which nine years
abroad rounded out into a master of the
brush. Upon his return to America, his
worth was at once recognized, and from
that time he has been most successful in
taking prizes and obtaining honorable and
special mention for his work. The .Shaw
prize at the Sabnagund.1 Club was won by
him In '99 with his "Fishing Scene," and
Eanger Irving Couse.
the Proctor prize was his tho next year
for "A Helping Hand." Early that same
year, at the Academy of Design, "Along
the Qnal" took the Hallgarten prize. This
same picture received honorable mention
at the Paris exhibition and is considered
very fine by able critics. In 1302, tho first
Hallgarten prize, available only for"
American-born artists under the age of 35,
was carried off by "The Pipe of Peace,"
from Mr. Couse's brush, and at the Buf
falo Exposition "The Forest Camp" was
honorably mentioned.
Tho January number of the Art Review
says of Mr. Couse and hi3 work:
Mr. Banger Irving- Couse ia one of the fore
most American artists who "achieved great
ness" early In life. Mr. Couse did not make
name for himself on a single picture and
then disappoint public approval by subsequent
efforts; but has earned the high esteem In
which bis work Is regarded by a continuous
succession of meritorious pictures, making an
unusually brilliant record for so young a man.
The, North American Indian Is tha favor
ite study of this young artist, who spends
each Summer among them, studying from
life what he later puts onto canvas. A
number of his prize winners have been
Indian subjects, and his success is largely
due to the fact that he has been able to
mingle with them. He is now on his way
to Eastern Oregon and Washington, where
he will spend the Summer among tho
Yakiraas and other tribes.

We waited long, while all the world
was ringing with praises of her and from
a long distance we paid homage to her
rare genius. Then after our waiting, the
sweetest, most magnetic and tho best
little woman who has essayed play act
ing in our time came to us. enslaved our
hearts and enraptured our Intelligence
with the- beautiful charm of her person
ality. The coming was worth our wait
ing. It measured up to tho high level
of our anticipation. We have een the
dream lady. We have seen Maude Adams
as Lady Babbie, and now we understand.
In tho presence of as nne an audience as
ever welcomed a star to Portland Miss
Adams and her splendid company pre
sented "The Little Minister" at the Mar-
quam last night. The occasion was
something of a homecoming, for Miss
Adams. It was here,v-as a little child.
that she received much of the encourage
ment which prompted her to pursue a
career which has had but few equals In
the hlstoity of the stage. As long ago
as 1879 her mother and she appeared at
tho old Newmarket in old-fashioned
renertoire.
A. forgotten writer on tnis paper in
nualnt and extravagant approDauon
chronicled her Introduction to the Port-
and nubile Tho play- was- "A ceieoratea
Case," and the Incident has been immor
talized after the following fashion:
"In -the prologue, playing the part or
Arionno th child actress, for so we
must call her, as she is a natural born
actress, little Maude Adams, 5 years of
age, made her first appearance before a
Portland audience, -tier acting was sua
nlv sublime and received the hearty and
enthusiastic applause of the large and
Intelligent audience. Her intense emotion
left few dry eyes among the spectators."
Who will say that the unKnown
euloclst did not have the gift of prophecy.
hut onp Is nrone to wonder It his notice
did not save something to do with Miss
Adams' long absence from the scenes of
her early triumphs. That was 2a years
ago, and while she has been here in in
cidental capacity, once In "The Lost Para
dise " one with Southern In "Lord Chum-
ley," and once In the cast ot Men ana
Women." but never since she became
a irreat star, with the world at her feet.
has she deigned to pass this way unui
last night when the little girl, grown to
womanhood; came back to us again and
received a welcome home.
Of the nlav. but little need be said: It
has become familiar through the wide cir
culation of Barrle's book and its produc
tlon by imitators of the original "Lady
Babbie." The lovable daughter of stern
old Lord Rintoul Is the character which
stands out In relief from among a number
of others which would be of great Impor
tance under different circumstances.
It was in Thrums that the boyish min
ister loved the "Egyptian" to the scandal
of the good folk of the- kirk, and it was
there, when the lights of the village twin
kled through the darkness, that the elders
waited to tell him that It could not oe.
It was there they remained to rejoice that
the castle and the "meetln house" had
one thing in common, the love Of a maid
for a man. The. story Is such a simple
one and withal so pure and good that one
feels the air of the Scottish hills In his
nostrils and feels vastly better and more
hopeful for his kind because he has seen
tho presentment of It.
Of the elusive, winning, ueautirui art
of Miss Adams, what can be said? The
highest encomiums have been passed upon
it everywhere and adjectives are mere
words and weak. It may, after all, bo
no art at all. It may be something bet
ter, absolute naturalness. When sho
smiles she Is merry, when she weeps sho
Is sad. and one must needs make merry
with her one moment and be heavy-
hearted the next.
At all- events, the power which this
frail, girlish creature has over the minds
and hearts of men and women and little
children is a power for good. It Is some
thing high, and ennobling and apart from
sordid things. It is because of this that
we lovo Maude Adam3 and are proud
that Portland has some claims upon her,
Tho supporting company Is an ad
mlrable one and worthy of the star.
Henry Alnley makes Of Gavin a de
Hghtful foil for Miss Adams "Babble.'
He Is a talented leading man ana it is
hoped will be seen often hereafter In
the West- Without exception, the re
maining members are convincing, ca
pable and well cast. Tho scenery "and
licht effects are very beautiful and
seemingly accurate.
The theater was filled to its -utmost
capacity. There were many curtain
calls, and Maude Adams and Portland
have every reason to feel satisfied at
last night's triumph.

About the time "Lewis and Clark" made
their trip west, the most advantageous
way of getting freight to the Coast was
'round the Horn, but things are different
now. Time has wrought manv chsncps
and with tho wonderful development of
uius country nas come tne ever necessary
railroads. Nearly all freights now come
by raiL Why? Ask the many wholesale
houses of Portland, and the answers will
be practically the same by rail is much
quicKer, ana time is money; besides,
goods arrive In much better condition,
and It Is not necessary to have them In
sured In transit. And yet a piano dealer
claims to nave just discovereu an enor
mous saving in freight money by shin
ping " 'round the Horn," and in conse
quence thereof has cut the price on all
gooa w pianoa irom jiuo to each,
with an extra allowance of $25.00 for a
"coupon." Yes, oft course we believe this
it must be so, because it Is so adver
tised, but let us ask you to look at our
pianos and get our prices and terms of
payment then buy where you think you
are getting the greatest value for your
investment- We assure you courteous
treatment.
