replied that he would make none, Inas
much as Bagley had published a state
ment in another county paper charging
Hoge with being a liar and that the article
in the Times was unqualifiedly false.
Barring this one charge brought against
Mr. Bagley by the petition heretofore
mentioned, and which was founded upon
a misapprehension and which was explod
ed by Mr. Cleeton, Mr. Bagley' s record as
an attorney has always been exemplary.
In the case at bar Mr. Bagley was simply
after vindication and the matter of dam
ages was secondary. This is the first libel
case tried in the county for many years.

Eatmeet Words of Traveling Secretary
Parsons Heard by Many Young
Men Not Connected With
the Organization.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 27. (Special.) The
power of habit In the formation of char
acter and the shaping of a man's destiny
was the subject of a stirring address de
livered by W. iL Parsons,, traveling- sec
retary of the International .commltee, at
the session of the Y. M. C. A. Con
vention this afternoon. The meeting -was
held In the auditorium of the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church and that large
room -was. crowded -with young men.
The meeting "was one of the most ef
fective of the convention, for it -was at
tended not only by active workers of the
Christian associations, but also by large
numbers of young men who are In no
Way Identified with that organization.
Mr. Parsons Is a clear, forceful speaker
whose fitting illustrations are drawn from
common occurrences in every-day life and
are therefore more convincing in strength
ening his arguments and appeals. That
his address this afternoon reached the
hearts of his hearers was evident from
the number of young men who Indicated,
their Intention to lead henceforth a
Christian life.
After a brief song service, in which
the audience joined heartily in singing
hymns that have been familiar to them
lnce their childhood, a male chorus of 14
voices sang "Where Shall I Spend Eter
nity?" and Mr. Parsons took charge of
the meting. He took the Ten Command
ments as his text, and, referring to the
song which had just been sung, said that
ch for himself must answer the ques-
lon, "Where shall I spend eternity?"
Taking up the subject announced he set
forth the manner in which habits, good
or bad, are formed, first by single acts,
-which, if repeated, become the easier to
jjerform and finally leave their impress
upon a man's character. It is in this
foundation of habits that a man deter
mines whether he shall be master of bis
"own life or a slave of his habits.
"As a man soweth, so shall he also
reap. He that soweth to the flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption. He that
Boweth to the spirit shall of the spirit
reap eternal life." Though the penalty
of evil deeds may not bcJmposed speedily,
yet every reasonable man who will re
flect upon the matter must admit that he
who sows to the flesh must some time pay
the penalty, with interest, and interest
compounded.
In view of this It is the duty of every
young man to do something to guard his
life against the consequences fit evil
acts. The speaker said that the habits
of mind or body a man forms in youth
will be found to bo almost controlling
powers In his character in later years.
A man s character today depends upon
what he has been doing in the last few
years, months or weeks. In other words,
by the habits he has formed. The man
who has been doing things that arc ques
tionable has been putting rotten stones In
the foundation of his character. A man
doe? well to see that every act and habit
of his life Is clean and pure .and sound,
so that every stone In the foundation of
lits -character shall .stand, the test of storm
and time.
The character that a -man builds in
"the foundation of his habits determines
his destiny. God does not condemn men
to punishment, but at the end of this life
each of us will go to the place for which
we have prepared ourselves. The speaker
made special reference to some of the
most serious evils which are in these days
loading young men to ruin. He deplored
the lack of will power, as evidenced by
the ease with which so many men are
Induced to do things they .know to be
wrong. The habit of using profane, im
pure and vulgar language he declared to
bo one of the most pernicious evils that
caps the character of young men. No man
nhould tell stories that he would bo
ashamed to tell in the presence of his
another or sister. Among other evils
enumerated are the tobacco habit, drink
ing, gambling, dishonesty and licentious
ness. .
The foundation of habits like these
makes & man a slave to them unless he
win throw them off and be master of
himself. Jo power is so effectual in
keeping a man clean or helping him to
overcome evil habits as the acceptance
of Jesus Christ as the savior of men,
the rule and guide of their conduct.

tjOGE MUST PAY DAMAGES.
Jury Decides Against Him in Bagley
Libel Suit.
HILLSBORO. Or., Nov. 27. (Special.)
A Jury of six sitting with Judge I A.
Rood, County Judge, at midnight last
night brought in a verdict for the plaintiff
In the sum of $100 and costs In the libel
damage case of Attorney H. T. Bagley. of
Hillsboro. against Walter A. Hogc.
Charles Hoge and Mabel Hogc, proprietors
of the Forest Grove Times, a newspaper
published weekly at the college town, six
miles west of this city. Walter A, Hoge
is the father of the two other defendants,
hut claims they own no Interest in the
paper. Charles" Hoge now being a reporter
on a idally paper at Lincoln, Neb., and
Miss Hoge being connected with the Port
land City Free Library.
The suit was brought as the result of a
lawsuit before a Forest Grove Justice of
the Peace, wherein a real estate man
brought an action for a commission for
property sold. S. B. Huston was counsel
for the defense, but as he was going East
at the time of trial Mr. Bagley was asked
to conduct the case. '
At the trial Mr. Bagley introduced wit
nesses to Impeach Mark Noble, the plaint
iff. The next day after the trial Noble
went in to Hoge's office, his conduct
showing that ho was very angry, and dic
tated an article. Hoge doing the writing,
charging that Bagley came very near be
ing disbarred some years ago as a result
3f "shady transactions.
According to Hoge's evidence. Noble ran
the article as a paid advertisement, and it
was purely a business transaction. Bag
ley brought suit for 5500 damages. The de
fense pleaded In mitigation that when
Bagley was Deputy District Attorney in
1SSS some 100 or more Forest Grove resi
dents signed a petition asking T. J. Clee
ton, then District Attorney, not to reap
point Mr- Bagley as his deputy because ho
had heen guilty of unprofessional conduct.
The plaintiff proved by Mr. Cleeton at the
trial that he nau investigated the charges
and found nothing to sustain them, and
that a few weeks afterward Mr. Baclev
was reappointed to another term of two
years.
After the appearance of the article in
question Attorney Bagley requested Hore
make a retraction, but the publisher

Farmer Evans Has the Drop on the
Light Company.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Nov. 27.-SpeciaL)
Six armed men stood guard all last night
over a new dynamo that Is being installed
by the Hood River Electric Light, Power
& Water Company. Things have not been
altogether lovely among the various mem
bers of the company, and yesterday when
teams bearing a new six-ton dynamo ar
rived at the farm of N. C. Evans, on
which the power-house is located, the gate
was found locked and well wrapped with
log chains. Mr. Evans is one of the mem
bers of the light company.
Inside the gate and pacing up and down
the road was .a son of Evans, carrying a

hauling the new machinery inquired if Mr.
Evans was at home.
"No," replied the boy.
"Is his son here?"
"I am he," came the prompt answer.
Manager Vorse then started to inquire
if Mrs. Evans was there, hut hardly were
the words out of his mouth when the lady
of the house appeared and announced
plainly enough that she was on hand. She
gave the waiting workmen to understand
that If anything was wanted, she was the
one to apply to.
Things appeared entirely too warlike for
Manager Vorse and his men. No attempt
was made to force an entrance through
the iron-bound gate. Darkness was com
ing on, so the teams were unhitched and
started toward town. A squad of watch
men were at once secured and the ma
chinery carefully guarded all night.
The Hood River Electric Light Company
is composed of local capitalists. Evans,
so It seems, opposed the appropriation of
money for certain Improvements, and the
other members of the company started in
to freeze him out of the company. Evans
Is a fighter from the word go, and, stand
ing "pat," refused to draw out. He claims
yet to have some strong cards up his
sleeve, and Interesting results are ex
pected. OAKMAN MURDER TRIAL. .
Case Will Como Up at Hillsboro This
Week.
HILLSBORO, Nov. 27. (Special.) Circuit
Court for the November term will convene
In this city tomorrow, with Judge T. A.
McBrlde of Oregon City on the bench. The
civil docket is light, but a number of crim
inal cases will be tried. Chief of these Is
the case of the State vs. Bert Oakman,
formerly of Monmouth, 111., chargd with
the murder of Frank Bennett the night of
Saturday, August 27.
Oakman and Bennett had been working
together for some months prior to the.
killing and the two were paying attentions
to two sisters, the Misses Alta and Vesta
Ledford. There was trouble between the
two men because Bennett had told Hiss
Alta Ledford that Oakman was a married
man and had a wife and child back at
Monmouth. While it is whispered that
there was other trouble between them, it
is upon this ground that the state sup
plies a motive for the alleged murder.
Oakman and Bennett met in front of the
postofiico on the night of the killing and
agreed to meet at the Southworth saloon
and settle -their difficulties. They met by
appointment, went out the rear of the sa
loon, exchanged blows and Oakman
plunged a knife into .Bennett's neck, the
wounded man dying in a few minutes.
Oakman fled and was caught a few days
later at Warrendale, on the Columbia
River, between Portland and The Dalles.
The defense, it Is understood, will allege
justifiable homicide.
E. L. Craig, formerly of Knapp, Wis.,
is to bo tried as accessory after the fact."
as he was with Oakman when the fatal
blow was struck and ran with Oakman
from the scene of the crime. ,
John Bonando, of Tualatin, will answer
a charge of attempt to rape, and Claude
Jackson, of Scholls, is under bond to an
swer for statutory rape, while David J.
Porter, the Gaston blacksmith at whom
his divorced wife has shot several times,
is in jail awaiting trial on the charge of
rape, preferred by his ex-wlfe.
George Hays, of Sherwood, will answer
for throwing a hatchet and butcher knife
at a Sherwood saloon-keeper.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 26. While the State of Ore
gon is producing less coal than other
states of the Pacific Coast, the recent
development of Its coal deposits are rap
idly swelling the output of the state and
River pilot, and one of the earliest set
tlers la the Umpqua Valley, died here
today.
Mr. Hatfield, was bom in the village
of Tttskll. Nova Scotia, August 31.
1S13. When a lad of 14. he went to
sea, making a number of voyages to
South America and the Orient. He
then Joined the Sandy Hook pilot-boat,
and served a five-years' apprentice
ship. After acting s pilot for a num
ber of years; Hatflcld sailed In the bark
Josephine, from New York for San
Francisco, arriving July 0. 1849. A
short experience in the mines satisfied
his curiosity, and he talledfor the Co
lumbia River. The Winter of 1849-1850
was spent as a pilot on the bar, with
Captain White, in the schooner Mary
Taylor. They were the first pllota at
the mouth of the Columbia.
News of the mines of Southern Ore
gon took Mr. Hatfield to the Lower
Umpqua. In the Rogue River Valley,
the overland" expedition of General
Joseph Lane was encountered. Part of
the Hatfield band, went to California
with General Lane, but Hatfield,
James McMerrick and William Golden
branched off to the Lower Umpqua
Valley. An examination of the bar
be navigable, and Mr. Hatfield settled on a
present town of Scotuaurg, where he resided
bringing Oregon up to California. The
prospects are that within another year
Oregon will take precedence over Cali
fornia, though Washington Is so far in
the lead as to be safe from competition
for many years to pome.
According to the annual report of the
Geological Survey, the total coal produc
tion of Oregon in the calendar year 1903
was 91.144 short tons, valued at 5221,031.
Compared with 1902, this is an increase of
25.496 short tons In quantity and of
$60,955 in value. The increased produc
tion is due in large part to the reopen
ing of the Beaver Hill mine in C003
County. The entire production of the
state is lignite, and most of the product
Is shipped to San Francisco by water.
The report does not give much detail
about the coal Industry of Oregon, aside
from a table of production for the past
ten years, from which it is seen that the
total output last year fell below that of
1SS6 and 1S97. There were employed In
coal mining In Oregon last year 235 men,
who worked 25S days. In 1902 there were
265 men employed, working 234 days.
Washington's Output.
The 3.193.273 short tons produced in
Washington last year was valued at
$5,380,673, or $1.69 per ton. The production
of the state has Increased regularly since
1S94. and the Increase In 3903 over the pre
ceding year was particularly noticeable.
This Increase amounted to 512.059 tones.
In quantity, and SS0S.3S4 in value. The
production has more than doubled since
1S97, and more than trebled since 1S91.
"Washington Is the only one of the
Pacific Coast States producing true coal,"
says the Geological Survey. " "All of the
product from Oregon and California Is
llgnitic in character. Some of the Wash
ington coals have the characteristics of
anthracite, some are true coking coals,
and spme natural coal has been pro
duced." The use of mining machines has not
been successful in Washington. Twenty
two were in use In 1899. and four In 1901.
Conditions were not found favorable to
their continuance, and their use has
been abandoned, no production by ma
chines having been reported since 1902.
The statistics of labor employed in the
coalmines of Washington show that In 1902
the average production per man was 603
short tons, and in 1903 670 short tons, the
average tonnage per tiay per man also In
creasing from 2.22 tons in 1902 to 2.33
in 1903.
Six counties are producing all the coal
mined In Washington, their respective
products for the past year being shown In
the following table:
Product, Men em-
County tons. Value, ployed.
King L229.560 $2,134,421 2,003
Kittitas .1.369.716 1,948,263 1,630

Lewis, Skagit and
Whatcom 21,197 39.763 100
Totals 3,193,273 $5,350,679 4.76S
There were more men employed in the
mines of Washington last year than In
any previous year in the history of Its
coal mining. While the aggregate -value
of Its coal product exceeds that of any
other year, tho price per ton was lower
than In any other year except 190L In
that year the price fell to $1.66 per ton;
last year It was $1.69.
Coal in Alaska.
The year 1903 was not particularly nota
ble for the production of coal in Alaska.
The production so far is limited entirely
to fuel which Is used locally, and does not
exceed a few thousand tons each year,
though some of the coal-bearing areas
give promise of being of considerable Im
portance. In Southeastern Alaska the
Admiralty Island coal fields, which at one
time promised to furnish lignites for local
use, have been entirely abandoned. Three
hundred miles to the westward, however,
near Controller Bay, coal of excellent
quality, and which occurs in veins of com
mercial Importance, has beep found on
the Behring River. This coal resembles
the harder bituminous coals of the East
more than it does anthracite, but its con
struction shows it to "be semi-anthracite.
There Tjas been some prospecting of these
deposits, but no production, because it
will be necessary to build a railroad 23
miles long to bring the coal to the coast.
Coal mining has been carried on in a
limited way near Chlgnlk Bay for several
years, the product being used by the Alas
ka Packers' Association. The average
production does not exceed 600 tons an
nually. Ccal mining on the Yukon has received
a decided check with the introduction of
petroleum-burning engines on many of the
river steamers. Practically all the coal
mining operations were suspended in this
district In the Summer of 1903, though
some of the coal is of good grade. The
production of the entire Yukon field did
not exceed 1060 tons during 1903.
Thedemandfor fuel on the part of the
placer miners on Seward Peninsula Jus
led to a careful search for coal in that
field, but with only moderate success. "One
small basin has furnished probably 1009
tons for local use. This area lies In. the
northeastern part of the peninsula, on

Thomas Jefferson, son of that grand
old gentleman and actor, Joseph Jef
ferson, who will appear in "Rip Van
Winkle" at the Marquam Grand The
ater tonight and tomorrow night, will
be a treat to the theatergoers "of the
city. Thomas Jefferson gives us a ren
dition of Rip (so old theatergoers say)
as his father did in his early days, and
the likeness is so striking that on the
stage you cannot tell one from the
other. The elder Jefferson has retired
from the stage, his extreme age being
the reason, and has gone to, Florida for
the Winter upon the advice of his doc
tors. Thomas Jefferson will continue to
present Rip to the American public, and
perhaps his son, a boy of some 14 years,
may step Into his father's shoes, and
for all we know perpetuate Rip for
years to come. Mr. Jefferson Is support
ed by a most painstaking company and
a finished performance may be looked
for. Seats are now selling for both
nights.

The Five Onr! Today.
This extraordinary act will head the
new Baker bill which opens the week this
afternoon. It has never been seen in
Vaudeville, having for the past, season
been featured' with "The Devil's Auc
tion." The Baker management pays the
Ave Onri a small fortune for their week's
work, but the competition among other
houses was so strong that only by nam
ing an extravagant figure could they be
secured. There are no acts like It on
the vaudeville stage today, and the Inter
est of the public in the best forms of
entertainment should assure the Onrl a
great hearing. There are eight other big
acts on the new bill. See It this after
noon. New-Music at Bijou. -A
programme that's full of bright,
light, catchy music opens at the' Bijou
this afternoon. The Aubrey Sisters are
an exclusive song-and-dance team.
Walker and Labell present musical spe
cialties, and Steele is a funny skatorial
artist. McXamee makes odd things out
of mud. And there's a big act In reserve.
New Lyric Bill.
Everything new at the Lyric this af
ternoon. A complete change of bill from
top to bottom and the star feature of it
will be the appearance of Ethel White
side and her plckanlnies. the most ex
pensive vaudeville act ever brought to
Portland. No feature like this has ever
been seen in the Northwest. It is a
typical metropolitan attraction and has
been the sensation of the Keith and Proc
tor circuits for the past two seasons. The
act comes here direct from the Orpheum
at San Francisco for this week only.
Other acts on the bill will be Maud and
Anna Kromer. the stunning soubrettes;
the Juggling Burks, the greatest in the
