NEED IRE ROAD
Harriman Asked to Build to
Central and South Oregon.
SHANIKG TO BEND, THE CRY
Bast and West Ijine With Feeders
Running Into the Klamath Coun
try Are Essential to Port
land's Prosperity.
The next thing in order is the extension
of the Columbia Southern from Shanlko
to Bend and the constructon of an east
and west line through Interior Oregon
with feeders running into the Klamath
country.
On Saturday, June 3. the Portage Road
will be an officially accomplished fact and
a reality instead of the dream of the
past, and those men who have labored
so faithfully under the name of the Open
River Association to bring about Its com
pletion will, like Alexander the Great,
have to turn to other worlds to conquer.
, Saturday next will ' mark, to a certain
extent, the passing of the Open River
Association, its work will have been
practically completed, but the movement
it has started will live, and is now pro
gressing, under other titles, though with
the same energy and backed by the same
men with, augmented power.
Work for New Lines.
For some months now practically the
same men who have been forcing the
completion of the Portage Road, have
been working under the name of the
transportation .committee of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce for the construc
tion of transportation lines into Central
and Southeastern Oregon. The work has
been done silently and from day to day
added power is being brought together
for the ultimate attack upon the present
position of the Harriman people, which is
adverse to the construction of the lines
sought.
During the past month the subject of
the extension of the Columbia Southern
from Shanlko to Bend has been brought
repeatedly to the attention of President
E, E. Lytle, of the Columbia Southern, by
.the transportation committee, but up to
this time the official has done nothing
more than to acknowledge the receipt of
the communications and. petitions. A few
days ago, therefore, the members of the
committee deciding that the way to get
clear water was to go to the fountain,
took the matter up directly with E. 21.
Harriman, the man who apparently holds
the destiny of, Oregon in his hands.
Called to Harrlman's Attention.
It was called to Mr. Harrlman's atten
tion that "be had promised more than a
year ago to construct the extension to
the Columbia Southern, but that after the
work bad been started the men had been
called off and nothing had been done
since. It was shown to him and will be
further demonstrated that the extended
'ine would tap a very rich country and
would do jnuch toward bringing the con
tiguous territory into communication with
Portland and the outside world, to the
great advantage and increased prosperity
of both. The extension asked for is ap
proximately 100 miles in length and it Is
estimated that It will cost $1,250,000.
At the same time the construction of
an east and west line was taken up with
the New York railway magnate, and it
was shown to him that the .construction
of such a line of about OW miles, with
feeders into the Klamath Lake district,
was essential to the complete develop
ment of tfee state. Accorsttag" to the state
ments made, it was shewn, that ssch a
line could be built frm Caxadera to the
ture tonight, and will go before the
Supreme Court for admittance to
the bar, June 12. The school exam
ination will be conducted In Port
of the members of the faculty, with the
Warm Spring agency, then past Bend and
on Ho Ontario. In addition to this route
is the one now surveyed from the end of
the Corvallis & Eastern across the moun
tains and by practically the same route
as the other one past Bend and to On
tario. Either of these lines would cost
between 53.000.000 and 56.000.000 and both
routes are perfectly feasible.
' Immediate Action Necessary.
It is deemed necessary by the transpor
tation committee that immediate action
be taken, in view of the fact that all of
the 5100.000 guarantee asked -by the road
now being built from Northern California
into the Klamath Lake country, with the
exception of 55000 has already been pro
vided for, while even that will be raised
within a week. It is considered" that onco
the California road Is built into Oregon
from the south it will be extended into
the interior and will draw the trade away
from Portland to San Francisco.
It is practically certain that It is the
intention of the California road to build
Into Klamath County, and this fact Ifl
shown by real estate transfers that have
been made In that district in the past
week or two which show plainly that the
i railroad people are purchasing grounds
for terminals and other properties.
The transportation committee is there
fore prepared to make a strong effort to
force the construction of one or both of
the interior roads at an early a date as
possible in order to head off the encroach
ment of the southern route. A dally in
creasing power from this city is backing
the project and the interests of the in
terior part of the state are being enlisted.
The members of the committee having
the active prosecution of the project, re
port that the prospects for success look
brighter now than they ever did and that
there is strong probability that some ar
rangement can be made by which the
lines asked for can be built at an early
date.
FORM EXPOSITION CLUBS
Unique Method or Some Peop7c Com
ing to the Fair.
News has reached Portland recently of
the formation of Lewis and Clark clubs
in several of the Eastern states, principal
ly Ohio. Parties of men and women who
are determined to see the Portland Fan
have gotten together and formed an or
ganization, to which they contribute a
stipulated sum of money every week.
"When a large enough sum has accumulated
to meet the expenses entailed on the
long trip to Portland, the members of
the club will come direct to the Exposi
tion, to stay here until the funds of the
organization have been exhausted.
The Idea originated with a party of
five young men In a small town in Ohio.
The young men were i ery anxious to at
tend the Exposition, but did not think
that they woo'- be financially able to.
One of them suggested that they appoint
a treasurer and pay him a certain amount
each week. The club was formed In Jan
uary and by August the young men hope
to have enough to set out on the trip.
The Idea spread until it had passed
over the dividing line Into the adjoin
ing states, until now the Lewis and Clark
clubs are quite a craze. Men and their
families who have been counting on com
ing to Portland with a party have been
putting aside a certain sum at recular
intervals. In this way lots ot people
will be able to attend the Fair, whereas
before the Lewis and Clark clubs were
suggested they did not lay any money
aside for the trip.
In San Francisco parties are arranging
to attend the Exposition in boats. Steam
ers and yachts are In a great demand
ana are being chartered for the voyage
as fast as they are obtained. Those com
ing in chartered steamers to the Exposi
tion expect to anchor In the Willamette
River across from the Government ct
hlbit. They will live on the boat instead
oi securing apartments in Hotels.

SO SAYS OLIVER STEWART
Noted Prohibitionist Lectures at the
First " Christian Church Says
People Give Officials Power
to Grant Licenses.
Olver W. Stewart, of Chicago, spoke
at the First Christian Church last
night on "Some Peculiar Phases of the
Saloon Problem." Mr. Stewart said:
"The problem of the saloon is dis
cussed frequently. Let us, if we can.
avoid the beaten track this evening
by considering peculiar phases which
generally are overlooked.
"The saloon does not deserve to be
considered as a legitimate business. In
effect It is more akin to crime than
business. However, before the law it
is not criminal, but legal. In a strik
ing and vital way it differs from real
business. In the success of his cus
tomers, the merchant or business man
finds his prosperity. The saloon, un
like merchant or tradesman, thrives
on the ruin of its own customers. The
saloon is the one institution which
takers no pride In its own product. It
will exhibit samples of the stuff it
sells, but none of its results.
"When it Is remembered that the
customers of one line of business are
the customers of other lines, it be
comes apparent that the saloon cannot
ruin its own without injuring the cus
tomers of others.
"Largely business depends upon
market. Market rests upon demand.
Demand grows out of needs and wants
or desires. As wants or desires are
greater than needs, so the demand cre
ated by them is greater than that cre
ated by needs, though needs are in
sistent and require prompt attention.
By so much as, In a civilized state, we
live above the line of actual needs, in
the realm of our wants and desires,
do these wants affect business more
than needs. The saloon comes in Just
here. "It gets such a grip on its vic
tims, the greater part of -whom are pot
drinKers, but dependent upon drink
ers, that it deprives them of. things
actually needed, to say nothing of
things wanted or desired. In this way
the saloon cripples all honest business
interests."
Mr. -Stewart next turned his atten
tion to the drinker as a peculiar eco
nomic problem forced upon society by
the saloon. On this phase he said:
The drinker as a consumer Is pe
culiar. The saloon is not governed by
tne ordinary laws or business or trade.
The drinker Js an exception to the
laws which control consumers. The
rule is that an individual will con
sume on account of needs plus cer
tain wants or desjres. Here he is held
in check by good judgment, a lean
pocketbook or by other desires. All
this operates to make him consume
in reason and to his advantage which
is after all to the advantage of those
whom be patronizes. Not so with the
drinker. His desire for drink grows
not out of any actual need. 'but is the
result of forces beyond his control.
It is rightly i called an appetite.
"This at once gives the saloon an
advantage over the real business in
terests of a community. Its customers
are not governed bs any law of need
r preper desire. It Is for thl verr
rn that a ati -will sell household
r eiotlig jn order te get the
means wiia watca to uy drink. It is

time we recognized the drinker for
what he is a victim who has lost con
trol of himself and not a free moral
agent. The drinker knows and often
proclaims himself as such. Why
should we not treat him for what
he is?
"Thus two things aro determined
that the saloon should be made an
outlaw as the deadly enemy of busi
ness and the drinker considered a vic
tim, not a free agent.
"That leaves for consideration the
question of responsibility for the fact
that tho saloon Is a legal Institution,
protected by law and by tho state.
Someone must be responsible. Who is?
The license Is the visible evidence of
the right of the saloon to bo protect
ed. The license comes from tho license-granting
official. His right comes
from the law, which comes from the
Legislature, which in turn gets all its
power from the people. And there we
are.
'Conditions are Intolerable, but are
made such by the peoplo working
through their agents. Political par
ties and leaders serve tho saloon, be
cause it appears the people desire
them so to do.
"The call of the hour is for men who
will go to the ballot-bor and be
counted against the whole iniquitous
thing. Along that lino is victory over
the saloon."
CHUKCHyirCTEXSIOX PLANNED
Four Congregational Chnrchcs Are
to Be Built in the Suburbs.
The Portland Congregationallsts are
spreading out their work to take In the
suburbs. At SL Johns a society has
been formed which has secured a quarter
block for a church and manse. Rev. Mr.
Upshow, of the East, has arrived and
taken charge ot that field. With his wife
he has moved into a small cottage, which
was furnished very largely by the Con
gregational churches of Portland, and al
ready a move has been made in the
raising of a building fund. Congrega
tionallsts think St. Johns a promising
field.
At University Park ground 100 feet
square has been secured, and a church
building will be erected In a short time.
Rev. D. B. Gray, city missionary. Is in
charge of this field. At Arleta, under .the
charge "ot Rev. Mr. McPherson, work has
been organized. Here also grounds have
been secured. A large tent has been se
cured, which will be pitched, and In
which public worship will be conducted
until such time as a building can be
erected.
At Estacada there is a mission organiza
tion, under Rev. Mr. McPherson, which Is
expected to grow into a flourishing- church
In time. These suburbs are growing rap
idly, and the Congregationallsts hope to
see four churches erected In them be
fore the year expires.
The -Sunny-side Congregational pastor
and official board are planning to erect
In the near future a more modern ichurch
to take the place of the present building
on the corner of East Thirty-fourth and
Taylor streets. A building fund Is being
accumulated for this purpose. It will be
some time before the new building will
be put up, but the church is moving in
that direction. When ready to build a
building costing between 515,000 and 523,000
will be built.
Preaches On "Real Keliglon;"
At the St James Lutheran Church,
Rev. J. A. Leas preached a practical
and unusually interesting sermon on
real religion. In which he said:
"Religion has been mistaken for
dogmatism. Overstrlctness often ruins
a cnild by making nim believe that re
ltglon is nothing but stern forms with
out the throbbing elements of life. The
old idea of religion was that of Inac
tion. Those were days of dead ortho
doxy. Theology without religion. That
was a theology that tortured self and
ailed monaatrles.
"As a system of didactics religion
has maue little- progress: as a tech
nlcallty If befogs rather than radiates.
as a. dogmatism it is a failure; but
a fact it is a- refinement, a tranefigu ra

earth. Exemplify religion in tho life
of a godly man or woman and you
can't help liking It. Realizing this
fact, for a time, religion swung from
Bead orthodox)- to the opposite extreme
and there was a season of much pray
ing, much singing, and meetings were
marked by a great stir and excitement.
This sort of activity also has proved a
failure. The real religion Is at once
discerned from the spurious as a good
painting may bo recognized as over
against the daubing of an amateur.
Pure religion Is 'doctrine at work in a
wholesome way. It Is "visiting the
widows, and the orphans, it consists
in. building hospitals, founding insti
tutions or mercy. Among tno. ranKs or
the Christians we may mention Phoebe.
Lydla and Dorcas and the host of
women and also their stronger coun
terparts consecrated to God."
Delegates Arc Returning;.
Rev. H. C. Shaffer, of the First United
Brethren Church, East Fifteenth and Mor
rison streets, arrived last evening from
Topeka, Kan., where he was a delegate
from Oregon to the General 'Conference
of the World of the United Brethren
Church. The other delegates from this
state, Mrs. J. A. Hlnkle, Rev. W. O.
ZIgler, Rev. F. H. Neff and Rev. George
McDonald, have arrived, except Mr. Hln
kle. Rev. J. R. Parker, business man
ager of Philomath College, and Rev.
George McDonald, of Eugene, attended
the conference, the former in the Inter
est of the Philomath College.
"It was a wonderful gathering of our
church," said Mr. Shaffer, "from all poiv
tions of the world, wherever our work
has been extended. In all there were 275
delegates, who came from the United
States, Canada, Japan, Africa. Germany,
China and other countries. A great for
ward movement was planned at the Gen
eral Conference. For the Pacific Coast
"for the furtherance ot this general move
ment a bishop's district was formed of
Oregon. Washington and California. Em
phasis was placed on the work in the
Northwest in the formation of this dis
trict. "Bishop William Bell, elected bishop
at the conference, has been assigned to
this new district. He is a man In every
way fitted for this work, full of the mis
sionary spirit. It Is not yet decided where
he will fix his residence, but we of the
Northwest are anxious that his resi
dence shall be In Portland or Eugene."
Church and "Workingman.
"The Church, the Worklngmen and
Human Brotherhood," was the text of
the sermon delivered at the First Uni-
versalist Church yseterday by Rev. W,
F. Small who dealt mainly with the
relations existing between working
men and religious institutions, and the
causes that keep so many people away
from regular worship.
Dr. Small discussed the attitude of
the workingman, and named among
tne reasons for nonattendance at
church, that the worker often felt ill
at ease in congregations of wealthy
persons, and believed themselves un
welcome.

E CLOSED
None May Visit Exposition Now
Until the Opening.
WORKMEN RUSHING THINGS
From Now Until Noon Thursday
Thousands of Men Will Labor
Night and Day to Finish
the Fair.
Last night at 6 o'clock the gates of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds were closed to the public, and
until Thursday, when the Fair will be
formally declared open to the world,
no one, with the exception of the
workmen and the employes, will be
allowed entrance. Tonight the work
of installing the exhibits ceases and
tomorrow a large force of men will be
gin cleaning up the grounds in prep
aration for the thousands of visitors
who win flock to the Exposition on
the opening day.
There was not an unusually large at
tendance at the Fair yesterday, there
being several days previously during
which more people visited the grounds.
Most of those who entered the grounds
yesterday were outsiders, the Portland
until they can visit the Exposition In
a fully completed condition, which will
be the case on June 1.
Yesterday was undoubtedly the busi
est day since the work of building
the Exposition commenced. Trucks,
wagons and vehicles of every descrip
tion thronged the streets leading to
the grounds, loaded with exhibits and
material. When they arrived at their
destination willing hand3 took up the
task of unloading and the exhibits
were hurried into the buildings and
installed in their respective positions
with a rapidity, that was astonishing.
The change In the interior of the
exhibit buildings, which have not yet
been fully completed, was really re
markable. When evening came it
looked as though more progress in the
installation of the exhibits had been
made in one day than all of last week.
With the exception of the Trail, the
Exposition Is practically ready at the
present date. By tonight, when the
work of Installing stops until after
Thursday, nearly all of the buildings
will be prepared to receive visitors.
The Trail Is a little behind the rest
of the Fair, as there still remains con
siderable work to be done, but by
Thursday nearly all of the concessions
will be prepared for the onrush of
business, which will surely come.
Without an exception, all of the larger
attractions could open their doors to
morrow. The smaller concessions,
mostly illusion shows, are the ones
that are behind.

HOLDS A DOUBLE FUNERAL
Father and Son Aro Buried in Same
Grave in Milwaukie Cemetery.
"Ashes to ashes; dust to dust," said
the preacher over the grave of father and
son at the solemn double funeral .which
took place yesterday afternoon in Mil
waukie Cemetery Christian Albert Zan
ders and his 12-year-old son. who died
within a few minutes of each other at
their home in Milwaukie Heights.
It was one of the most touching funerals
that had been held in the pioneer town.
The Evangelical Church, on Main street.
Milwaukie, was crowded to Its utmost
capacity, nearly the entire population of
the town and surroundings having in
sympathy for the stricken family turned
out. Rev. F. M. Fisher, pastor, was In
charge. He was assisted by Rev. Mr.
Smith and Rev. A. Bltner. The former
conducted the services In English, when
the latter assisted. The mother and sur
viving children ot the family, except the
boy at home who is also at death's door,
were present. After the services in the
church the children of Milwaukie School
marched ahead of the hearse, each bear
ing a bouquet of roses as an escort of
their dead schoolmate, to Milwaukie-Cemetery,
where the caskets of father and
son were placed in the same grave. Here
after the services the mound was cov
ered with floral tributes from the pupils
of the school.
The mother and several children remain.
There is one boy in the family who Is
very low and not expected to recover.
Mr. Zanders wa3 taken sick three weeks
ago, and the boy who died was sick only
about five days. Dr. W. C. Belt, who
attended the family, says that he is not
sure that they died from typhoid fever,
and is not sure about the source of the
sickness in the family. Water is obtained
from the well, and the State Board o
Health has some of the water, investigat
ing It to ascertain If It contains impuri
ties likely to produce sickness. The fam
ily are old residents, having lived many
years in the community, and the double
death and double funeral have arrested
the attention and sympathy of the sur
rounding country.
