It was recalled that the monument proj ect wasxoriglnated by H. W. Corbett the first president of the corporation, who presented the original resolution author izing its construction on August 15, 1S02. One of the last acts of Mr. Corbetfs life was to put under way the arrangements tor the reception to be given to President Roosevelt upon his visit to Portland on May 21, 1903, when he made the address at the laylne of the cornerstone. The gran ite for the construction of the monument, tiuarrlcd along Snake River on the route followed by Lewis and Clark in their Jour ney to the sea, is already on the ground. The monument will be a single shaft, sur mounted by a huge ball. Upon each of its four sides will be a bronze tablet repre senting tlie coat of arms of one of the States of Oregon. Washington, Idaho and (Montana, comprising the original Oregon territory. Total Cash on Hand. The total cash on hand, as shown by re ports yesterday, is 5116,000. Of this amount, 516,000 will be required to close up the affairs of the corporation, includ ing the 55000 for the monument, 53500 for me awara meoais, ana otner necessary bills. The stockholders will receive 23 per cent on the paid-up capital of the corporation, which is 502,192. The 25 per cent return will amount to 5100,548. The report of Secretary Reed, completed yes terday, to be submitted at the final meet ing of the board of directors, shows the capital stock was divided among 2488 fully paid stockholders, being 40.219.2 shares, of the par value of 5402,192. The largest stock oldcr?in the corporation is the estate of H. W. Corbett, which holds 3000 shares, .of a par value of 530,000; -57500 will be re turned to the estate. The smallest stock holder is H. Schlessinger, who holds .2 of a share, having a par value of 52. He will be returned 50 cents. But little remains to be done before the final dissolution of the corporation. The reports are about all written, and the medals of award will be sent out by Colo nel Dosch as soon as they arc received. As soon as the board of directors passes the final act of dissolution, probably dur ing the first week in March, the stock holders can get their money. WAYS t)F SPIRITUALISM A Follower of That Faith Sets Forth Its 3Icrits. PORTLAND. Feb. a. (To the .Editor.-) The first spiritual society of Portland is the odcst center of rplrltuallsm in the state. More than 40 years have the faithful worhed to keep tho organization alive and should enlist the attention of. the people In a favorable light since so much ot late has been hurled at the cause that was slander ous and unjust. The speaker tor this so ciety, atter serving his time, has seen nt to start a new movement callcq "The Church of the 2Cew Dispensation." So tnany of the Jireachcrs of orthodoxy come to us, but find the "flock" In spiritualism Is not so easily led as the ono they have left, therefore crow weary and try different ways ot leading the people. Wo .have all sorts of people and all kinds of thoughts dumped into our ranks because ihey have exhausted their efforts to find comfort, cheer and hope In the old thoughts. They come Jo us Just as they are and wc have to suffer the consequence of wrong thinking, therefore wrong actions. Not withstanding all these stumbling blocks, spiritualism s here to stay because it Is the only religion that can answer the cver-rc-currlng question: "If man die, shall he live again?" Through the ministration and com munication of spirits the greatest good has come to humanity. Few know that the Methodist Church waj;tartcd -as a society" by information recelxed through family cir cles In the Wesley home. Mary Eddy Baker tells In "her "Introspection and Retrospec tion ' ot a materialized voice telling how to formulate the truth sbo learned from Dr. Qulmby. hut she called It the -oice of the Xiord and the people were satisfied. Mrs. Eddy was. a medium for tests before start ing the movement of Christian .Science and it is a degree of satisfaction to me as a suffragist that men have to obey a woman as the 'Church of Rome has to obey the Pope. Few know that Abraham Lincoln, Queen Victoria, Ella "Wheeler Wltcor. Marie Co- relli. Lillian Whiting and Victor Huso are renowned spiritualists, so we have no reason to be ashamed of many of our followers. Though in our movement we have not built many temples of brick and mortar, it bears its fruits that ripen in each coul, bringing peace and quietness to the heart. The birth ot God wafts the angels to mor tals, the fluttering of whose wings dispels the gloom of our lives. Unconsciously we receive to our hearts the perfume of Para djse and walk with holy ones on the dewy banks of Jordan, whose rushing waters are bridged by love. MRS. ELIZABETH CRAIG HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES Smoot Has Vast Mass of Testimony in Reply to Protest. WASHINGTON",. Feb. S. The introduc tion of testimony against Senator Heed Smoot or Utah "was closed by the Pro testants' .counsel today. A. S. Worthlng ton', who represents the Senator, said he was not ready to proceed, but that he would communicate with Chairman Bur rows within a few days. Tho character of the evidence offered this session, said Mr. Worthlngton, had convinced him of the desirability of calling witnesses for the defense. With reference to the list of the mem bcrs -of the Utah Constitutional Conven tlon, members of the Legislature and state officers charged to have been po lygasalsts, Mr. Worthlngtpn said it might tee accessary to call from iw to 300 wit nesses to disprove the testimony of the prosecution unless the committee permit ted the filing of affidavits. He said that Senator Sraoot was anx ious that the case should be closed and that there should not be one day of un avoidable delay. C. A. Sraurthwaltc, of Ogdcn. "Utah, was called for cross-examination by Mr. Wor- thlngton. He said the usual course to set tle difficulties between members of the church is to Jay complaints with the teachers of the ward in which tho-ag grieved reside, and the bishop, after hcar-i ing the complaint, ordinarily instructs the teachers to do everything in their power to adjust the differences. Mr. Worthlngton asked Mr. Smurth walte If he had any reason to believe his trouble with President Smith over their rival salt interests could not have been adjusted in the same way. The witness "replied: "Yes. my knowledge of the leaders, of the church convinced me that was im possible." Senator Knox then Inquired of the wit ness If the Mormon first presidency had followed up its threat to ruin hhn be cause he insisted upon continuing In the salt business. He said his company had "been compelled to pile up its production. The effect, he said, was to injure his credit and depreciate the stock of the company. After explaining- the tithing system of the Mormon Church, Mr. Smurthwalte was asked if the tithes were invested la corporations. "I am fearful that It is," be replied. He estimated that .tithing brought .the church a revenue of from 51.W0.0CO to 52,-i 000.000 a year, hut no accounting had been made as far as he knew. BEET SEED BY S TONS BROUGHT TO IiA. GRANDE BY AMALGAMATED CO. Acreage Devoted to Crop Will Be Largely Increased This Xcar. Fine Prospects for Industry. LA GRANDE. Or.. Feb. $.-Special.)-Nearly 'two carloads of sugar beet seed have been received by the Amalgamated Sugar Company for planting during the coming season. The bulk of the seed was imported from Germany, but there is some American grown seed. The home-grown seed is to be used prin cipally for experimental purposes, and if there is a reasonable promise of good results, the Sugar Company will use it exclusively instead of annually .sending abroad for a supply. The cost of two carloads of beet seed is quite an item, and the company would prefer spending its money In the United States to sending It to Germany. Last year the company used a quantity of seed that was grown at the agricul tural experiment station at Union. The results were highly satisfactory, in fact, better than secured from Jthe imported article. But the supply of seed secured from the station was too small to cut much figure. Superintendent Bramweli says the beet prospects for the coming year are vers favorable. It Is the intention to have a greatly increased acreage, not only through more contracts with individual growers, but In larger areas to be farmed by the company. The ground, is In fine condition, and with a favorable Spring season the sugar Industry will be greatly enlarged . PERS0NALMENT10N. Mrs. John R.

MIMMS TALKS Christian Science Theme Address at Belasco. of CROWDS -HEAR LECTURE Speaker Holds Close Attention or Her Auditors and Shows Her Keen 'Familiarity "With Her Chosen Topic An audience tnat packed the Belasco Theater to its capacity assembled last evening to hear the Christian Science lecture given by Mrs. Sue Harper Mimms. of Atlanta, member of the Christian -enco Board" of Lectureship of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, of Boston. There were 350 people on the stage from which "Mrs. Mimms spoke, and ever' scat in tho pit and balcony was filled, many of those prominent in Christian Sdenco work in Portland being In attendance. Mrs. Mimms held the close aUest.cn of her auditors during her lecture. She spoke Mrs. L!rlaxtoH MI. In a conversational tone, behind -rchlch there was the Indescribable charm and conviction of reserve and quiet Intensity. She showed keen familiarity with her sub ject, from first to last, and carried her hearers with her Into the realm of higher aim and nobler accomplishment, reveal1 Ing her creed in all its power and aes thetic beauty, as an ethical and moral force. 3Irs.

One of the most cxprcwlve indications of the procree5 of rcllclous thought is to be seen in tbe vast numbers of people who attend le turcfi on the Fubject of Christian Science. Be fore Mrs. Eddy made her discovery of the science of being, or the zclenco of Christian ity. no two words in the popular thought, or in the EnglUh language, seemed more irrecon cilably separated than these Christianity and science: and yet, since Cod himelt is omni science, anything emanating from him must inevitably be essentially sclentlne. since God and bia laws are supreme, unerring and un varying the same "yesterday, today and for ever" and science being that which deals with the laws of truth, there can be no more holy alliance than that of thew two words.

It la the voice of truth calllnjc to the world today to awake from Its materialism and pause to ponder, to contemplate this defi nition of God. spirit; to accept, &s Mrs. Eddy teaches, the sublime cocuMquent of this state ment ot God.

In the spiritual account of creation. In the first chapter of Genesis we read: "And God said. Let us make man In our image, atter our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over tbe fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all tbe earth, and over every creeping ' thing that creepeth upon tbe earth." 'Thou mad est him to have dominion ... thou hast put all things under his feet." sang the sweet singer of lrrael. I have never read the statement of man's spiritual dominion as given In "Science and Health," page 518, that there haa not Tisen to my vision those sweet and yet sublime pastoral scenes on the Judean hllli when the multitude, having followed Jesus to hear the "gracious words that he spoke." were finally an hungered. Instruct ing the disciples to scat them on the grassy hillside, he fed them, the five, and tbea the seven thousand, with the multiplication the fishes and the loaves. lie knew that crea tive mind supplies all human needs, redeem Ing man from tbe 'materialistic law of toll and struggle. This law and proof of spiritual do minion runs like a fine golden chain th roach out the entire Scriptures, linking, all its eraii of development in one perfect design, and cul mlnatlng in Christ Jesus. Abraham, the friend of God. through faith In the invisible, became the father ot a nighty satlon. Jacob. wrestling with material evidence and over coming, became tbe founder of the great mono theistic Hebrew nation. Moses Illustrated la many waya this dominion and Ellsba inulti plied tbe meal and raised tbe dead. Paul, in ji ore modem times.. said. "And my speech ... was not wiia enticing words of seas' wisdom, but la desaoattratloa of the spirit ad of pewer." These f-cal!e miracles, to the undentaaitog f Chrfetiajs ScSesUstet. are not InfractlMu of law. bat atlUaatlons of an ever-operative, dlrtae prtaclplc. God; and the application of thte priadpte can accomstUh tbe same resulU today as of yore, for It Is eteraal asa universal coed. Matter, ef Caraal Mlad. Christian Science Is entirely unique In Its dealings with the qsestion ot evil, or mat ter. It rests absolately on tbs basis that God Is the only, tbe Infinite one, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent good: the all-ln- closive snlad. beside whom "there Is none else." It is true that some modes ot mod ern thought claim to acknowledge this state ment or God. spirit, good, but they drop fraa this saWlne postulate and admit mat ter, something beside tbe Infinity of spirit. thus making. In theory, material man and universe the expression of spirit, which Is Illogical and unicriptural, for flesh and spirit, matter and mind, arc contrary.. "The flesh 'Htttcth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh." Because of this opposition ot spirit to the Cesh. we know that logically one cannot he the outcome of the other any more than light can emit darkness, or truth express a lie. Therefore. Christian Ecleacc deales that matter or ma teriality can be actual, or tbe emanation of the one spirit, the only cause. It does not deny man or the universe, but only a false. material sense of them. Furthermore, none of these phases of modern thought or phil osophy make a separation between "the carnal mlad" which la enmity to truth and the Christ-mind which la truth. GratUade ts Mr. Eddy.

Born of an old and intellectual family, associated Intimately with the scholarly men of her native atate. and sur rounded by a pure spiritual atmosphere, she was adequately fitted for her high destiny. Educated In part by her elder brother, one of New Hampshire's most brilliant sons, she acquired an accomplished education. This brother, Hon. Albert Baker, wai a law stu dent and partner of President Franklin Pierce. Mrs. Eddy was both Intellectually and spiritually endowed, and was a well- known and gifted authoress even In early jlfe. Of her philanthropy and har unselfish work for humanity, words are Inadequate to express lis fain era. No other person, per haps, la all this modern world, has so lived and loved that many thousands have been lifted out of sin. disease and poverty, an they have been through her sweet ministry. As the veil of misconception Is removed that blinds the world to Its great spiritual lead ers, her life gives forth a radiant light, she commands the admiration of the world, and tbe agea will call her blessed. Ualtes la Oae Brotherhood. Christian Science Is In full and ready sympathy with every advancement towards purity, benevolence, law and order. It teaches that the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount furnish the solu tion ot every human problem. Ita Alpha and Omega is love It teaches that God is love, infinite and ever-present; that all sects, nations and races are embraced in that mind which is love; that there Is one Father-Mother. God. one family the whole earth; that man attains his own perfeotlon and harmony In proportion to his own re flection. In thought and action toward all men, of his active principle, love. Divine love reflected on earth reveals the kingdom ofGod here as in heaven. Such love "seek- etb not her own." but another's good; It 1eareth all things. ... hopeth all things"; it' "never falleth." It thus be comes the savior cf the world from all evil economic, political, physical, mental. Be cause this unselfish love was enthroned In tbe heart of Jesur. he did his mighty works. Divine love Is as universal as the sunlight and distills "as. the small rain upon -the tender herb." In the light ot thla love wt see man as the image and likeness ot God. Some day. by laws as fixed and fair As guard the planets is. their sweep. The children of each outcast heir The harvest-time of truth shall reap. The peasant's thought shall yet be wUe.

Feb. 9. To the Edltor.- I wonld like to say a few words In connec tion with the rambling talk that has been going on so long about the Army canteen and Ita effect on the soidiera. I am a discharged soldier, served over three years la the regular Army, and I have observed the effects that tho canteen had on us soldiers, both with and without the Hquot. In the first place. I pre sume that at least one out of every 100O of the TV. C T. U. ladles has been In an Army post, and maybe know whereof they speak. but the majority that have written so many letters to the public know nothing about wbat they are writing. Tbe canteen was established for Jest one purpose, viz.. To give the soldier a mess fund, so he could have a few delicacies that the parental Government did not issue to them. A soldier Is only allowed the plainest of rations and the mtm fund was the natural outgrowth. The canteen was established en these principles. All profits were to b put Into a mess fund, generally the Quartermaster Sergeant having charge of it, and ustrs; bis discretion in buying extra food for the men. In many of the garrisoca they bad chickens. plga, cows, small gardens and varVus other things to help contribute to els rood allow ance. That was the main benefit to be de rived from the canteen, besides all the other reasons that others have given for it through the letters in The Oregonlan. Of course, the ladles will y: "Why didn't they spend the money outright for all of this and leave the canteen out of ltT" But they aren't appar- enUy aware that it is not a soldier's duty to furnish his rations, and. being human, they will spend their money, and. by having the canteen, all men vied with each other la patronising it so as to awell the mess fund. Since the canteen was abolished, he haa fallen back to hla old allowance of rations, feeling that It is his duty not to buy rations when he is supposed to get them. ConaequenUy, the under world around each garrison gets what little money he has and tbe W. C T. U. la carted by the mass of soldiers for being the cause of him losing the thing most dear to the Arm. I suppose the lad lea thought that they were doing good, bat if they had only put all their efforts to setnetjlher use, we will say. trying to help tbe sluaa girla or things ot that kind. their efforts would tare been appreciated. As it 'ts now. the soldier comes to town to spend hl momiBg, the young girls meet him and generally ahe goes out and drinks with him. Tbey would better have let the soldier stay home and have his litUe drink and not be trying to reform the Army. The soldier will get along without any trouble. If one- of thoso ladlen had a son in the Army and be was to tell her that he was very, very huagry some time, she would condemn the whole Army system. Still, ahe Is tho means of taking part of his food away from him and wants to do It Indefinitely. I wish that some of those ladles could spare the time. I would like to go deeper Into details and explain more'io them about their Ignorance of the whole ecesuon. ELMER EL EVANS. Charges Xot Filed oa January 30. William C Bristol.

Started by Twin Wo Charley. The movement was first started by Twin Wo Charley, "who wrote to A. D, Charl ton, assistant general passenger ajrent of the Northern Pacific, making it known that a large delegation of Chinese would go to Seattle to welcome their country men, and that there was a very earnest desire on their part to persuade the vis itors to come to Portland and Investigate the trade conditions in this city, the saras as they will In other places. Mr. Charl ton. In turn, addressed a communication to the commercial organizations, and a conference was called. Two of these commissioners arrived at San Francisco some time back, . and are now in the East. In Chicago, and many other Eastern cities that they have vis ited, they have 'been received with th most courteous treatment, and every where their reception has been a very enthusiastic one. Everything possible has been done to ad them In conducting their investigations. There are five members In the Chinese commission, and the other three Chinese will arrive in Seattle on February 23. ' China the Great Market, In expressing the wish ot the local Chi nese to secure the co-operation of the commercial bodies In welcoming the vis itors. Twin Wo Charley says that It Is no longer the desire of the coolie labor to come to this country, and that this Is not the purpose of the visit of the Chines commission. He says that China is ex periencing a reawakening, and that to day it is the best prospective market in the world for the United States. Inas much that Portland is the door through: which much of this commerce will pass, he thinks it appropriate for the commer cial bodies to be represented when tho Chinese land in this country. He is of the opinion that this city should see to it that these commissioners are prevailed on to come- here and made fa miliar with the city and its posaibiltea. that . the business interests of the city and state may be conserved by co-operation between Portland and the business in terests ot unlna.
