The Oregon, Con ference of the United Brethren Church closed its work yesterday at the Clover dale Church, with several largely at tended meetings. Bishop Barkley preached at 11 o'clock A. M., the church being filled ti utmost capacity. Another meeting was held in the afternoon and In the evening, the entire day being prac tically taken up. This branch of the United Brethren family professes to hold to the original faith and principles, and declares it is not a small offshoot from the main body. The First United Breth ren Church of Portland is a member of the other branch. The Clovcrdale branch holds to the articles excluding members of secret societies and the other branch admits them. In other respects there Is no difference In name or doctrine. Canadian Thistles Spread. The Can adian thistles have gained a wide foot hold in Oregon and will require a con-, certed effort to eradicate, according to Grant B. Dimick, County Judge of Clack amas. Judge LMmlck was at Estacada and had in his possession samples of Can adian thistles which he had found at several places along the line of the O. W. P. road. He found -enough of the pest at Haley, on the O. W. P. line, to stock the whole country. The law in re gard to Canaan thistles authorizes the County Court to notify property-owners to destroy the thistles, and In case of failure the Road Supervisor is empowered to proceed with the work of destruction at the expense of the property. Funeral op a Veteran. The funeral of James Conner, a veteran of the Civil War, was held yesterday afternoon from the parlors of Zeller-Byrnes on Russell street, and the interment was in Green wood Cemetery. He was born April 16, 1836, at Mount Hope, Grange County, N. y. Mr. Conner was a member of Lincoln-Garfield Post, No. 16, G. A. R., and Ivan hoe Lodge, No. 1, K. of P. He was a private in Company G, Ninety-fifth Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and Reserved Corps Company G, Fourth Regiment, during the Civil War. Many members of Portland posts attended the services. Mayor Valentinjb Kxpkcttzd to Win. ' Mayor Valentine Is expected to win in the controversy over his appointment to the Postmastership of St. Johns, even it there Bhould be an investigation. His opponents will be under obligation to show that he is not a fit man for the appointment, which could not be done. It Is thought the protests that have been filed have delayed the issuing of his com mission, but there Is no certainty that this is the case. Mayor Valentine for warded his bonds some time ago, and it probably takes time to ascertain If they are satisfactory. Bodt Will Bb Cremated. James K. Banister, the lineman who was electro cuted Saturday afternoon near the City Hall, will be cremated this afternoon at the Portland Crematorium. Coroner Fin ley after Interviewing witnesses to the death decided that an Inquest was un necessary. The funeral will be held from the undertaking parlors this afternoon. Clothing Is Received.

FIRE IN MILWAUKIE HOTEL Historic Landmark Haa Narrow Es cape From Destruction. , The historic Milwaukie Hotel, built 64 years ago, caught fire Friday evening ana came near being destroyed, but the fire was discovered In time, and with the aid of the volunteer Are department. It was extinguished before It got under much headway. Charles Ballard, editor of the Milwaukie Bee, which occupies the nrst noor oi the building, had filled his stove with some old papers, with the result that the soot In the chimney caught fire and the flames communicated to the rafters. A crowd quickly gath ered with ladders, buckets and hose. A hole was cut In the roof, and the Are soon was put out There was no wind, or the building, with the others in the block, would probably have been de stroyed. This building Is one of the remaining historic landmarks In the state. It was put up In 1S52, and was then the largest structure In Oregon outride of Salem. For a time the Bishop Scott Grammar School occupied It, before the school was moved to Portland. While boating was lively on the Willamette River the old hotel building waa the gathering point of the pioneers for festivities of various sorts, from both Portland and points along the river, and most of the living pioneers remember the dances and social functions of those days on the third floor of the Milwaukie HoteL It has stood through, the more than half-century of Oregon progress, -watching the passing of the steamboat era and the coming of the railways, reaching down from the time when Milwaukie was a rival of Fort land. HAS PRAISE FOR OREGON Northern Pacific's General Immi gration Agent Here. C. W. Mott, of St. Paul, general Immi gration agent of the Northern Paclflo Railway, Is a guest at the Hotel Port land, accompanied by Mrs. Mott and their son. They arrived yesterday from Tel lowstone Park. Mr. Mott Is on his an nual vacation. "I am not paying much attention to Im migration Just now," ' he said last eve ning, "having come here purely to rest and see the city. To visit the Paclflo Coast and not stop In Portland would be like going to Rome, and not seeing the Pope." The immigration agent is a great ad mirer of the National Park and nature herself everywhere. . "'Some people visit art galleries and go abroad to listen, to French, and all that sort of thing," he says, "but when I want to take a real rest I get out among the hills, the val leys, the trees and live where man was made to live." Mr. Mott 1b an enthusiast about Oregon. Later he forgot that he was on his vaca tion and .began to talk about this state and the Immigration. "It is marvelous, the wonderful devel opment of this part of the country," he said. "I have been in this immigration business a good many years, watched the states and the people, and every tim- I come out here I am more astonished titan ever before at the rapid progress every where. One fact about this great North west is that when the people come here to live they are generally satisfied. When a man settles out here he's usually here for life. I would rather have one satis fied man In my territory than a hundred dissatisfied ones. The man who is not contented will keep 15 people away, where the one who Is happy will average to In duce five friends to come here and live." Mr. Mott thinks more of the Yellow stone Park than any other place in the world. Whenever he gets tired on the road or at his office in St. Paul he runs over to the park, remains a few days and goes back to resume his task feeling like a new man. He has been to the park so many times that he has no idea of the number of visits he has made to the fa mous resort. "I had the pleasure of seeing The Ore gonian contest party during my last trip through the park," he continued, "and t must say that I admired every one of the girls. I never saw a better appearing set of girls, and their conduct was perfect. I heard their yell about Portland and Ore gon so often that I know It by heart The girls, every one of them, were certainly a loyal crowd. Hundreds of tourists saw the contest girls, and I heard nothing but compliments for the entire party. My re gards to The Oregonian girls." Mr. Mott will remain In Portland sev eral days before returning to St Paul. THE ICE QUESTION. No Need of Residents in Snbnrbs Going Without Ice.

BIG CROWD HEARS CONCERT Band Renders an Interesting Pro gramme at City Prk. The band concert In the City Park yesterday afternoon was enjoyed by an immense crowd, whose number would be difficult to estimate. Every avail able seat within a large radius of the bandstand was occupied, and hundreds stood in the shade or rested on the grass under tho trees. The crowd was ever changing, some coming, some go ing and somo sitting, quietly listening. But it was all the same to Director Charles L. Brown and his faithful mu sicians.' They made music, and noted not what the crowd did. A very In teresting programme was rendered, much to the credit of the City Park Band and its able leaders. nigh-Grade Pianos for Kent.

SB a Kentucky nigger, an' Tse sure grwln to carve somebody's gizzard out," was the startling saluta tion that greeted the patrons of Blaster's First-street saloon yesterday afternoon, and a glance at the in dividual who delivered the threatening remark caused a kasty stampede for the regions Immediately beyond the confines of the barroom. The startling aspect that greeted the eyes of the thirsty spirits ranged along the bar was the person of Archie Avery, a husky colored gentle man about S feet Inches tall, and In his sinewy right hand was grasped a long knife, which served to instill a sudden desire to run into the hearts of all the ex-prizefighters, barroom bouncers and hangers-on who had congregated there for their regular Sunday afternoon gabfest and drinking bout The way they piled out of the doors of the place, seek ing safety on nearby avenues out of reach of the threatening knife, backed up by the 200 pounds or more of negro brawn, would have' put the Russian re treat before Nogl to shame. The patrons of the house simply beat the sklddoo sign clear oft, the boards, and while they were piling helter-skelter over each other in the effort to reach the street, the swarthy Mr. Avery was delivering himself of the most blood thirsty speeches that had ever fell on the ears of any of those within hearing distance. Bartenders, bouncers, swampers and waiters Joined with the crowd in its mad endeavor to gain the street or -secure a safe retreat in the cellar below.

Mays Will Ap ' pear In Court Tomorrow for Ex amination as to His Physical .Fitness to Stand Trial. - , "We expect to begin the Introduction of testimony tbe first thing in the morninE,'' r OREGON LAWS COMPEL COUSINS TO SEEK ADJOINING STATE IN ORDER TO WED BAN W. IABPLET. Dan W. Tarplsy, who created somewhat of a sensation last Saturday afternoon by going over to Vancouver, Wash., and marrying Miss Mabel Pike, of Portland, expects to take up his residence In this city with his bride, and with that object In view lias mad arrangements to secure a cozy cottage In some nice residence 'district At present they are occupying comfortable quarters at 175 Ford street Testerday the newly wedded couple were made the recipients of many congrat ulations from a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who wished them a bappy voyage over the seas of matrimony. It develops that the contracting parties are first cousins, and under ttie stat utes of Oregon such Unions are prohlbltsd; consequently it became necessary for the happy couple to seek the jurisdiction of some neighboring state where the laws are not quite so stringent la this regard. said Judge Thomas O'Day, chief counsel for the defense in the land-fraud case now pending in the United States District Court before Judge Hunt, while review ing the situation with The Oregonian last night " , "Just what the nature of that evidence will be I do not care to disclose at this time, but it is a certainty that we shall place witnesses on the stand to testify in behalf of the defendants." This promises to be a busy week In land fraud circles. Not only will the prestnt case last several days longer, in all prop ability, but this afternoon State Senator F. P. Mays will be brought before Judge Hunt, under an order issued Beveral days ago, directing him to appear for examina tion in open court touching his physical ability to withstand trial His case was set tor 10 o'clock tomor row morning, at the time the calendar was made up, but W. D. Fenton, his at torney, has already served notice updn Francis J. Heney, special assistant to the Attorney-General, that his client is too 111 to appear for trial on the date specified and that he will move for a continuance at the first opportunity. Under indictment No. 2887, returned by the Federal grand Jury December 28, 1904, Mays is charged Jointly with S. A. D. Pu ter, Horace G. McKinley, Marie L. Ware, Emma L. Watson. E. W. Tarpley and ing retreats the dusky giant turned his attention to the diminutive swamper, who happened to be of his own race and color, and who had sought safety In one of the balcony boxes, which retreat was out of reach of the warlike invader for the reason that he knew not the ways of the place and could not find the en trance which would bring him within striking distance of his victim. From their respective positions the sons of sunny Africa hurled defiance at each other, the little fellow being espe cially vituperative when he found that his husky opponent was not likely to reach him. While they were engaged in a strong wordy war. Patrolmen John Price, James Anderson and Frank Hart arrived on the scene with the patrol wagon in response to a hurried telephone message. The dense throng which had congre gated in the street in front of Avery's temporary fort cautioned the officers not to venture in the place, as the man was believed to be crazy and would kill the first man who entered the barroom. Nothing daunted. Patrolman Anderson led the way and with drawn guns the officers pushed open the doors, and ad vanced upon their quarry. Before he was aware of it, Anderson had the knife from his grip, and thus disarmed the hitherto bloodthirsty negro was exceedingly tract able and Patrolmen Price and Hart led him to the wagon as meek as a lamb. In his hasty fight one of the bartenders left one of the beer, taps open and an entire keg of the "thirsty water" ran out on the fioor. Avery was locked up and will have a chance to explain his unseemly behavior before Judge Cameron this morning. Robert Simpson, with a violation of sec tion 5440 of the United States Revised Statutes, In having conspired to defraud the Government out of title to Us public lands in township 24 south, range 1 aemu Willamette Meridian. It is believed that "Robert Simpson'" is a mythical person, his name having been forged by Horace G. McKinley. In view of the fact that Binger Hermann will not be tried here until after his case at Washington, J. C, has been disposed of, it is conceded that the most important of any that will come before the Federal tribunal this year is the one where Mays Is made a co-defendant with S. A. D. Pu ter, and which it is expected the examJife tlon in court this afternoon will deter mine whether it shall proceed to imme diate trial or not In his confession to the Government, made soon after his conviction in Decem ber, 1904. Puter Is alleged to have impli cated Mays in numerous " deals of un savory character affecting the acquisition of the public domain, and it is known that the arch-conspirator of the land-fraud fraternity, who is now serving a two years' sentence in the Multnomah County Jail for some of his misdeeds, Is anx iously awaiting his chance of evening up the score on the witness stand for Mays' Ingratitude In deserting him during his hour of trouble. For this reason it is be lieved that the approaching trial will bs filled with sensational details, and that, on account of the chief defendant's polit ical and social standing locally, it will attract more attention than any of ths others. Under charge of George Humphrey, bail iff of the Federal Court, and Deputy Unl- ted States Marshal Clyde R. Nicholson, the Jury in the case of the Government against Henry W. Miller, Trank E. Kin cart, Martin G. Hoge and Charles Nlckell, now on trial, was given an outing yester day at Fstacada. S. A. Ware, of Eugene, Or.,; a brother of Mrs. Horace G. McKinley, came down from his home yesterday and will remain here several days visiting his sister. ZINC OUTPUT IS DOUBLED Report on Production Made by De partment of Surveys. WASHINGTON, July 22.

FOES OF " HODSOH " UNABLE TO, AGREE Multnomah Candidate President of Senate Is Hopeful. for BELIEVES CHANCES GOOD "Doc!' Wright and E. W. Haines Ad. mlt Hodson'a Opponents Are Working at Cross Purposes and Refuse to Guess Result. "Nothing doing." Whereat State Senator "Doc" G. B.) Wright, of Yamhill, Lincoln and Tilla mook Counties, antl-Hodson chief, swung himself aboard the Jefferson-street train for his home In McMinnvllle. He was quite sure the foes of Hodson, Multnomah candidate for President of the Senate, had neither got together nor yet planned a campaign. A little while later State Senator H W. Haines, of Washington County, another antl-Hodson deader, echoed the same sen timent, as he pulled himself up on a Fourth-street train for tla home in For est Grove. And it was the opinion of both that there would be "nothing doing" until the foes of the Multnomah man could settle on one candidate for their- united support and reject all but that one, of the several gentlemen who Imagine themselves the proper timber for tne gavel job. Thus also opines Mr. Hodson himself. who banks somewhat on the hope that his enemies will not be able to agree, any more than could the enemies of Bin ger Hermann, who was nominated in Eu gene in 1903 In spite of them, although all of them together had more votes in the convention than he, and once had him so far down and out that he gave up the fight and hied to his hotel, where George Brownell, chairman of the convention. preceded him and told him how it all happened. Can the men who want someone else than tho Multnomah candidate agree? This Is what Dr. Wright and Mr. Haines would like to know, and they had their heads together over it yesterday. But like a conference held two weeks ago be tween Senators Haines and Wright, Gil liam, of Sherman, and Wheeler and Whealdon, of Wasco, it was barren of fruit Senator Haines Is one of the aspirants; so is Senator Whealdon, and likewise Senator Malarkey, of Multnomah. Then, too, a boomlet has been started for Sena tor Hart, of Malheur, Harney and Baker. To nominate in Republican i caucus 13 votes will be required, and to elect on the floor of the Senate, 16. 'Are there 18 antl-Hodson votes?" re sponded Senator Wright "Yes, and more; by actual count 16 up to date, and there are more to be heard from," but he did not go so far as to give their names. "They ought to te getting busy soon," went on the Senator, who would rather not let things go on taking care of them selves, as they have been doing. "Things look better than two years ago," he ex plained, adverting to the hot fight which was made against Kuykendall for Presi dent, whose political successor Is Hod son. "But too many want the Job; they ought to be like me; I wouldn't have it" The candidacies of Haines and Malarkey are giving considerable concern to the anti-Hodson men, for neither seems will ing to unite with the other for the sake of helping the other out Malarkay will not vote for Hodson, nor will Haines, and each has a boom of his own, which the Hodson forces are expecting to clash when the fight shall grow thick. ff THIRST DESTROYS BRAIN TIS SUE, DECLARES LECTURER. Eminent Student of. Physiology and Effects of Drink Habit Gives In teresting Talk at X. M. C. A. Dr. John Madden, an eminent and life long student of physiology, especially the effect of alcohol on the human system, lectured to a fair-sized and appreciative audience of men at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium yesterday afternoon on the subject of "Alcohol and Brains." . Dr. Madden began his lecture by giv ing a short history of the American Medical Association for the Study of the Effects of Alcohol, which was formed In 1372 and meets each year with the Amer ican Medical Association. He is a mem ber of the committee on hygienic in struction In the public schools and he spoke highly of the work of Mrs. Hunt, of Boston, and of the attitude of the medical men of Great Britain toward the teaching in the publla schools of the effects of alcohol upon the human sys tem. "Largely owing to Mrs. Hunt's work," said Dr. Madden, "the teaching of the effects of alcohol is compulsory in every state in this Union." Coming to his subject he propounded the question, "Is alcohol a stimulant?" "No substance which does more In Jury as a whole than It does good can be regarded as a stimulant" was his answer. To prove that alcohol is not a true stimulant he quoted from some eminent medical writers, referred to the results of experiments on 1350 people, and Illus trated by diagrams of these experiments and of brain cells treated with alcohol. "The effect of alcohol upon brain cells is to destroy the protoplasm," he contin ued. "It may be only partial or it may be so complete as to destroy them com pletely. Alcohol destroys the protoplasm by burning out the oxygen from the tis sues. This condition is most marked in brain tissue." Dr. Madden gave some Interesting fig ures about the consumption of alcohol. showing that English people were the heaviest drinkers. Germans next and Americans third. He referred to some Swedish army tests showing that total abstainers showed 30 per cent more rap idity and 60 per cent more accuracy in rifle practice than those slightly under alcoholic influence. He referred to the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War as a powerful temperance argument the Japanese being a very temperate people and the r Russians great drinkers. He prophesied that some other people prob ably not Caucasians, who were not under the alcoholic curse, would inherit the earth. In closing he said: " "We need tell nothing but the truth about alcohol. I believe the greatest question now before the people is the liquor question.

"Saved With or Without Loss" was the subject of a sermon delivered yesterday morning In the United Evangelical Church of St Johns by Rev. B. E. Me Vicker, the pastor. He spoke from 1 Corinthians 111:15. "If a man's works shall be burnt he shall suffer loss, but he him self shall be saved; yet so as by fire." He said that the Apostle Paul in this part of his letter was addressing the weak believers. He termed voa babes, and thus endeavors to spur them on to higher, purer and holier life. Passing on Rev. McVicker said in part: "The natural Inclination of man Is to fcave everything he does bring him per manent profit; and there is nothing wrong in this, for God has taught us that we shall receive a reward for our life's work, according to the nature of it; if evil. It will bring forth an eternity of regrets. But if it be a life of work under the instructions of God's word and the leadings of the Holy Spirit, God has promised to guide into all truth and Joy forevermore. "This text teaches that man may put forth all efforts In labor, yet when the life Is completed all the accumulations of that life Is destructible and will pass away In smoke; and yet he may be saved as by fire. "Permit me to lead your minds and eyes back to some of the connecting links of the text. Verses 13 and IS read: 'Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest.' "This teaches us that it Is the material things of our work and not the spiritual which are consumed by fire; or the chil dren of God who bestow too much of their affections In their professed Chris tian life In building on the foundation on gold, silver and other perishable things of this world, hoping that they will bring them joy in another world, but will be disappointed and saved as by fire. "But this scripture does not say that he who lives in rebellion to God and all that is rood shall be saved with a loss of his work only. If this were the case It would do violence to the principles of the doctrines of Christ. For this being the case, each might go out in his own way to follow his own Inclinations, yet the works would be destroyed and they be saved." ALLOTS IRRIGATION FUND Hitchcock Gives Preference to Most Advanced Projects. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 21. The Secretary of the In terior has adjusted the allotments of tne reclamation fund in accordance with re cent estimates from the General Land Of fice as to the probable amount of this fund during the next two years. The fundamental principle has been to allot the fund to the projects where the work Is now furthest advanced, and where re turns to the fund may be expected In the near future. The surveys and examinations already made show that at least tl00.000.000 could be used to advantage In various parts of the arid West. The total fund which will be available from the proceeds of sale of Dublic land for the years 1S01-08 is esti mated by the General Land Office to be a little over $41,000,000. In order, therefore, to continue the work. It is necessary that this money, or as much of it as possible. be invested in works which will begin to yield returns to the fund at the earliest possible date, so that the money may br used over again as soon as possible for the construction of other works. In several ot the projects a number of years must elapse before the works will be completed. Bucn projects wm not De rev enue-producing for some years. On the other hand, in Nevada the work has ad vanced to a point where upwards of 60,000 acres are already under irrigation, an revenue may be expected soon from this area. Other projects are nearing com pletion, and every possible effort is being made to finish these so that they may begin to repay the cost. The allotments as reoently approved by the Secretary of the Interior now stand as follows: Oregon- Klamath a) 12,000,000 Klamath (future) a,400.000 Umatilla 1,000,000 5,4O0,000 Arizona Salt River 4,63,161 Montana Huntley 900,000 Little Yellowstone.......
