lonj? term; P. J.. Campbell. Eugene,
committeeman, short term. Salem was
chosen as the next meeting place by a
vote of 301 against 141 tor Albany.
Immediately before Un: teachers filed
from the big assembly room at the
Jfigh School a resolution was passed
urging the forthcoming Legislature to
Increase the school tax from to $8
per capita for all school children. The
resolution was unanimously passed
without explanation or argument.
The first address of the forenoon ses
sion in the primary department was
given by Professor Travers. formerly
superintendent of the Pendleton public
schools. He gave; his views on work
in the primary grades, .urging above
all things the necessity of letting chil
dren rely upon their own resources In
doing the tilings required of them. The
advantage and most successful methods
In story work were described by Mrs.
Kmma H. AVickersham. Kanuie U. Por
ter, of the Portland schools, spoke of
lmw to interest children of the Inter
mediate grades in the right kind of
literature. Superintendent J. M. Pow
ers, of the Salem schools, spoke on his
tory in these grades. The "History
Wesson" was the subject of a discourse
to the advanced section by A. 1
Briggs. president of the State Normal
School at Drain. T. A. Hayes spoke on
history in the eighth grades.
Northwest Interested In History.
At 10 o'clock, in the general assembly
room. Professor .loseph Sliafer, of the
University of Oregon, spoke on history
study In the Northwest, setting forth
its value. Among other things Profes
sor Sharer said that history study is
of greater interest in the Northwest
for the reason that the population rep
resents a greater number of countries
through emigration and the interest of
people in the country of their ancestors
is naturally strong.
The-effect of literature and oratory
upon society was the subject of an
able address by Congressman-elect "W.
C. Jlswley. He took the unusual view
that the power of oratory to shape af
fairs of civilization has not gone by,
but is yet in its dawn. Mr. Hawley
was followed on the platform by Dr.
"Winsbip. of Boston, who gave an in
teresting talk on American authors.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was Dr. Moore, a Los Angeles educa
tor, who dealt with the psychology of
the student rather than of actual
school work. He handled his subject
in an energetic and in many ways
original manner.
Little Faith In Heredity.
Tn the power of heredity he had little
faith and less in power of the will.
"One idea that is antagonistic to edu
cation." he said, "is a false view of
free will. We often hear that had a
man controlled his will ho would not
have done this or that which he ought
not to have done. If you believe in
that sort of thing you don't believe in
education so much as I would like.
"If a man commits a murder, could
he have helped it by using his will? I
say not. It is the result of his early
life and Influences. He couldn't have
done anything else. His whole life
expresses Itself in that act. When a
man Is remorseful for the wrong he
has done he does not say 'What a fool
I was not to have willed better; he
says 'What a fool I was not to have
known better.' When you are con
fronted with a temptation, unless you
are possessed of general Ideas for usa
in dispelling that temptation, you can
not resist it."
Speaking of the influences of her
edity. Dr. Moore held to the view that
environment is more powerful in its
Influence than heredity. He told of a
New York family that had been out
laws for generations and had cost the
state over a million dollars in prosecu
tions. He held that had the children
of the older criminals been taken away
from their pernicious parents in time
they could have been brought up to ba
useful citizens.
Influence of Teacher on Child.
"Heeause a child is the offspring of
crazy parents docs not imply that the
V;a 1
1 - - " J
child will be crazy," said he, "nor does
the fact that its parents have any
peculiarities, physical or mental, indi
cate that the same ailment will mani
fest itself on the child. It is only when
conditions arise tending to affect a nat
ural tendency that the child may lapse
Into the state of the parent. The teach
er sees in the schoolroom the child of
the able man. the child of the less able
man, the child of the lazy man,' and all
sorts of children. The teacher should
determine to do her part in developing
each and every one of these children
so that they will grow to useful citi
zenship." In conclusion, the speaker urged that
teaching is a following to be com
mended. "Teaching is an honorable
calling," he said, "and too long we
have been allowing people to belittle
and demean us and to poke fun at us.
The teacher may well be said to be the
keeper of civilization."
Dr. Jloore ws followed by Dr. Win
ship, who gave a second address on
schoolwork. His remarks were full of
enthusiasm and lively interest and
aroused general attention and much
applause. He brought out, in particu
lar, the necessity of being up to date
in classroom methods.
Educational AVork of Press.
During the course of his address to
tlie teachers Tuesday on the subject,
"The Influence's That Mold the Com
munity," Dr. H. C. Sampson, of the
State Agricultural College of Washing
ton, referred to the important education
al work of the press. In this relation
lie spoke of the works of the newspapers
and referred particularly to The Ore
gonian as one of tlie greatest educa
tional factors of the West. "I consider
Tlie Oregonian." said he. "far the best
paper published in the West. In fact, it
ranks with the three acknowledged great
est papers of America, and I consider it
as good as any one of them."
The speaker regretted that most papers
of the time were prone to pander to pub
lic appetite for stories of crime and im
morality to the exclusion of elevating
and moral material. He mentioned The
Oregonian and two or three other papers
as being publications that are striving
to correct this morbid appetite and to
mold aJid direct public opinion instead
of being led by public opinion.
PENCE WILL GO AHEAD
Tiefusal to Blast Will Not Prevent
Him Washing Down Hill.
"If I stopped every time this Willa
mette Heights buncn grunted and grum
bled. I would be a monument of stone by
this time: I would not dare to make a
move," said I.afe Pence yeslerday in dis
cussing tlie decision of City Kngineer
Taylor to issue him no more permits to
blast on the Scotch Nubbin, which is
being leveled by hydraulio means. Sev
eral big blasts have been shot off to
loosen hard portions of the work so tlie
water will carry it away.
"If God continues to send the water."
said Mr. Pence, "we will keep on with
tlie work just the .ame. If we can't
blast portions of the work, we will have
to have more water, that is ail. The de
cision of Engineer Taylor will make our
work harder, more expensive and slower,
but it will be continued just ,the same."
Mr. Pence commented on tlie fact that
the people of the Heights could not well
he blamed on account of several women
being nervous and becoming alarmed at
the explosions.. One woman was in the
San Francisco disaster and is still ill. The
noise of the blasts proved very annoying
to her.
The work will proceed faster as soon
as heavy rains come again. Eight
hydraulic giants are on the ground and
will be put to work as the water supply
admits. It is the plan of Mr. Pence to
wash down the Scotch Nubbin by early
Spring but he says in view of the pro
hibition of blasting, the work may take
longer.. The facing of clay on a portion
of the work is very hard and can best
be loosened by blasts. After the work
progresses further, it is thought there
will bo no trouble in washing the dirt
away with the water.
Refusal "of more blasting permits was
secured from City Kngineer Taylor after
a visit yesterday by a committee from the
Willamette Heights Improvement Asso
ciation. The organization met at the
home of Colonel James Jackson Tuesday
night and determined upon putting a stop
to the blasting. "Besides frightening wo
men, members said it damaged founda
tions and chimneys of nearby buildings.
Chief of Police Gritzmaeher has ordered
that the scene of Pence's operations be
watched closely to prevent tlie setting of
any more blasts.
HEAR HISTORICAL ADDRESS
Daughters of American Revolution
Hold Annual Social Meeting.
The Multnomah Chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution held its
annual social meeting yesterday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. H. H.
Hoge. when practically all of the mem
bers were accompanied by invited guests.
The occasion was one of the most notable
ones ever given by the local Daughters,
about 50 being present.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye read the histori
cal paper, which was the event of the
afternoon. Music was provided for tlie
entertainment of the guests. The musi
cians were Mrs. J. Wliyte Evans, whose
rich contralto voice was heard to fine
advantage in several songs. Mrs. W. E.
Thomas accompanying. Miss Frances
Batcheldor. pianiste, gave a well inter
preted Chopin number. Mrs. Evans
songs were Del Relgo's "Happy Song."
"The Quest," by Eleanor Smith, and
Brahm's beautiful "Sapphic Ode." Mrs.
A. E. Rockey, Mrs. Clark and Mrs.
Dunne, of Seattle, served. Mrs. Hoge re
ceiving the guests unattended.
Mrs. Dye's paper was deeply interest
ing to the patriotic Daughters, who fol
lowed every detail. She had many sug
gestions for the organization through
which she considers it may perpetuate
not only Its own name but the names
of many of the heroes of revolutionary
and latter days. . She urged the per
petuation of the original Lewis and Clark
trail by suitable monuments and the
erection of a handsome marble memorial
statue to the pioneer mother. Tlie
preservation of the old Dr. McLaughlin
home in Oregon City was given special
emphasis by the speaker.
Mrs. M. J. Montgomery spoke further
on tlie subject and suggested that the
Daughters of the Revolution as an or
ganization indorse the effort being made
to save the old house. The motion was
promptly acted upon affirmatively.
Big Deal in Timber.
Lands owned by the Withees, Pauls and
other interests of La Crosse, Wis., and
lying in Linn and Lane Counties have
been purchased by the Drew Timber
Company of Iowa, of which Wells Gil
bert of Portland is Western manager.
The tract comprises 22.000 acres, the
main body lying along the Calapooia
river with pieces bordering the McKin
zie and upper Mohawk rivers. This tim
ber connects with the Caufield lands pur
chased last year by the same company.
These purchases, together with smaller
ones, comprise about 35,000 acres of good
fir land. The consideration was $20 an
acre. Timberman look for an extensive
development of the lumber business in
tne Willamette valley on the completion
of tlie various lines projected by the rail
roads, both electric and steam, and the
acquisition of rolling stock adequate for
the handling of tlie traffic.

Strong Testimony in Behalf of
Deposed Harbormaster.
HIS APPEAL GIVEN HEARING
Civil Service Commission Listens to
Evidence Ite-arding Montgomery
Dock Shooting: Affray. Ar
guments Saturday.
Two of the strongest witnesses for Ben
Biglin, the deposed harbormaster, before
the Civil Service Commission yesterday
afternoon were Patrolmen Ellis and Rob
erts, who it was generally supposed would
give damaging testimony against him.
To tlie surprise of all concerned, instead
they materially strengthened the case of
Biglin and directly contradicted the testi
mony of Acting Chief of Police Gritz
maeher. who was one of the witnesses
who supported the Mayor. After the
shooting affray at Montgomery Dock No.
2. about two months ago during the grain
handlers' strike. Mayor Lane suspended
Biglin. which action was later sustained
by the police committee of the Executive
Board.
Acting Chief Gritzmaeher testified that
at the tiipe of the strike the feeling be
tween tlie grainhandlers and their em
ployers was at a fever heat and that
the slightest indiscretion was liable to
precipitate a serious riot. Fie declared
that his subordinates had been given
specific instruction to exercise more than
usual caution with their firearms and
that if any of them had fired a shot
when not absolutely necessary upon such
an offense .suspension would have im
mediately followed.
"During the strike when we were on
duty at the docks" where trouble was
expected we never received orders about
the use of our revolvers.' stated Patrol
man Kills when cross-examined by John
F. Logan, attorney for Captain Biglin.
"Wo were supposed to use our own judg
ment in protecting the property, and for
myself if I had thought it was necessary
to shoot I certainly would have shot.
Trouble Was Kxpetiled.
"At that time there was a crisis and
trouble was expected almost any moment.
The night before Captain Biglin tired un
derneath the dock and was in turn fired
upon by the hired detectives, strikers
had repeatedly attempted to get on and
under the dock which we were protecting.
They were all along the river and com
municated by the exchange of lights."
Mayor Lane and his attorney, Martin
L. Pipes, attempted to show that Biglin
used almost criminal indiscretion when
he fired underneath the dock. Biglin him
self testified that the point where he
fired tlie shot was fully 1000 feet from
any place where the strikers had a right
to be, and that in his opinion his use
of firearms could not possibly have cre
ated serious trouble unless the strikers
were underneath the dtick at that time.
"When I saw the light it looked pre
cisely like a moving lantern and I be
lieved 1 was justified in acting as I did.'
said Captain Blgiin. "I shot Into the
water to scare who might be there and
to draw their fire. I know the caliber of
those longshoremen. They would stop at
nothing, not even when it came to klling
a man."
Patrolman Kllis stated that it Was
partly due to his advice that Manager
Shank, of the dock, secured the patrol
boat which carried Biglin. He stated
that Manager Shank had asked if he
did not believe it would be a good idea
to put on the boat, and that he had
stated that he thought it would.
Testimony Favors Biglin.
The testimony was decidedly in fa
vor of Biglin. Citizens who are fa
miliar with conditions along the wa
terfront testified that lie was a man of
judgment, energy and sobriety, and
that he had made an excellent harbor
master. They declared that he had al
ways endeavored to .enforce the law to
the letter, and that many of the ordi
nances for the order and protection of
life along the front had been due to
the efforts of Captain Biglin.
Councilman Shepherd was one of the
strongest witnesses for Biglin. He de
clared that he had always been effi
cient and vigilant in the performance
of his duties and that lie bad done the
very best possible with the means at
his command. He declared that he bad
been overworked and that to facilitate
his work the Council had appropriated
$700 for the purchase of a launch. The
launch was never purchased.
Kx-Mayor Williams testified that
Biglin had performed his duties with
entire satisfaction during the last ad
ministration. Among the others who
favored Biglin were: Henry Van
Auken, captain of the Albina ferry;
Louis Garner, who accompanied Biglin
the night of the shooting; Lyddon Vey
sey, of the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Com
pany; John Driscoll; George H. Howell,
a former member of the Executive
Board; Harry Stutsman, superintend
ent of the Burnside bridge; Chaplain
A. E. Bernays, of the Seamen's Insti
tute; C. Henri Labbe, French Consular
agent: S. B. Cobb, of the Standard Box
Company; Captain Conway, of the O.
R. & N. water lines; Frank H. Ran
som, of the Eastern & Western Lum
ber Company; J. B. Brown, of Brown
& McCabe, and John A. Anderson.
Mayor Lane and Acting Chief Gritz
maeher were the only ones who gave
direct testimony against Biglin. Drake
C. O'Reilly, of the Oregon Round Lum
GIN
AO
-a" T
ber Company, stated that he did not
consider the position of harbormaster
of much importance as at preesnt ad
ministered. Three charges were preferred
against Biglin by Mayor Lane. First,
tlie shooting affair; second, his failure
to submit monthly reports to the
Executive Board, as required by the
board, and. third, failure to submit an
annual report. It was brought . out
that during tlie last administration it
was the custom of Biglin to make. ver
bal reports to ex-Mayor Williams and
that when Mayor Lane took office lie
I continued tlie practice, anji that lie
was never advised to do otherwise.
For an annual report he submitted an
estimate of ' expenses for this year,
which was produced by Auditor Dev
lin. The commission adjourned at S
o'clock, but tlie ease will be reopened
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
the lawyers will submit their argu
ments. ;
DECIDES LEASE WILL HOLD
Court Grants Petition of C S. Celes
tino Against S. H. Howard.
In the suit brought by Pietro Santo
Celestino against Sampson H. Howard
to prevent the alleged attempt to nulli
fy a lease Judge Sears yesterday ruled
that the plaintiff should retain his lease
and rights under it until the case is
tried before the court.
The complaint in the case shows that
Celestino leased from Howard a small
portion of floor space in the latter's
barber's shop to be used as a bootblack
stand, at 107 Fourth street. The lease
is still in effect as to duration, but it is
alleged that Howard has attempted to
oust Celestino. that the defendant will
not permit him to ply his trade as boot
black under the lease and that an agree
ment, under which Celestino was to act
as janitor of the barber shop, has been
violated.
It is claimed that since November 3 tlie
plaintiff has not been allowed to work
under his lease and agreement, and since'
lie has refused to pay the lease rent the
action of Judge Sears was asked for
to prevent a forfeiture of the lease under
a claim of nonpayment of rent.
.USTJCK OLSOX WIN'S SUIT
Court Decides That tlie County Must
Furnish His Courtroom.
The mandamus proceedings brought by
Justice of the Peace Fred L. Olson to
compel the county to provide furniture
for his courtroom were decided in favor
of the plaintiff by Judge Sears yesterday.
Olson held that under tlie statutes the
county should not only provide a court
room for the Justice, but should also
properly equip it. Under this contention
Justice Olson ordered furniture for his
courtroom, sending the bill to the county.
The County Court' refused payment of
this on the grounds that all required of
the county was the provision of a court
room. Judge Sears held that the furnishing
of a courtroom under the statutes in
cluded the provision of its necessary
furniture.
New Corporations.

terday for tlie Oregon M-rchantile & In

dise and commission agents and the latter

and timber lands.
Father May Sec His Daughter.
The hearing of testimony in the suit
brought by George Brown to secure the
custody of his five-year-old daughter
from his divorced wife was concluded
yesterday, and after argument Judge
Sears rendered a decision which means
a partial victory for the plaintiff. Under
the decree divorcing the Browns, the
custody of the baby-girl was giVen to
the mother. It being provided that Mrs.
Katie Griffith, the grandmother, should
have the actual care of the child. Brown,
through his suit, sought to regain ab
solute possession of the child, but only
secured a modification of the former de
cree, to the extent that for one month
during each Summer the daughter may
visit him at his home, and that he may
see his child once in two weeks at the
home of her grandmother and custodian.

Charging threats of death and bodily
harm, cruel and humiliating treatment
at the . hands of her husband, Lizzie

yesterday states that at one time Gil
man terrorized his wife and two chil
dren by threatening to burn them, and
that he has also threatened to cut her
throat. Destruction of househould
property is also ciiarged, as well as
the throwing of dishes by Gilman at
his wife. The custody of the two chil
dren, Charles, aged 7, and Archie, aged
6 years, is aske-J for by the plaintiff.

DEALKKS KKQlKSTKI TO MEET
AND DISCUSS MATTKKS.
Object Is to Draft Rill for Coining
Legislature Tliat Will IJeni
ctly the Trouble.
PORTLAND. Nov. 28. (To the
Editor:) Through the Ort'gonian
I wish to ask the hop dealers of
Oregon to meet at my 'office in this
city on Wednesday, December 5th. for
the purpose of trying, to rind and carry
out a remedy for the present and
future car shortage difficulties and to
organize for that purpose.
Tlie question is now heing discussed
by bodies representing various inter
ests and localities, but as yet nothing
very definite or tangible has appeared
and it is eminently proper for our in
terests to be represented, for the rea
son that a remedy which would satis
factorily solve the trouble for tlie
grain dealers, whose freight business
originates and terminates in this state
and in cars owned by our' local com
panies, might be entirely, ineffective
for our freight shipped to Kastern
states and almost entirely in cars be
longing to foreign lines.
It is likely that the proposed recip
rocal demurrage plan would not cover
our case, even if it were declared legal,
which I doubt, and a railroad com
mission with discretionary powers, is
also a poor remedy, for all of the gen
tlemen connected with our roads are
such jolly good fellows that it would
he hard for a commission to avoid get
ting so very friendly witli them that
the little shipper would be entirely
forgotten.
Probably no complete remedy can he
effected through legislation, but perhaps-
some relief can be obtained and
surely our industry is in a condition
needing it.
We can employ the best legal counsel
to draft legislation which will pass
muster in our courts and will not con
flict with that bugaboo, the interstate
commerce law, behind which the roads
dodge when other excuses are exhaust
ed, and then each dealer can carry
home to the growers of his county the
plan that Is adopted and have them
enlist the aid of their legislators in
its enactment. Point out to them that
the loss sustained by the inability to
ship, ultimately falls upon the growers,
for the buyer will deduct from his buy
ing price, ample to cover all such de
lays. It is a source of - wonderment to
know where our cars have gone. The
lumber men and wheat men say they
haven't them, the hop men haven't
them, where are they? As usual, Se
attle is the guilty party. The money
which should have gone to replacing
the cars sent to the junk pile and for
providing others to care for our great
ly increased business has gone into
million-dollar terminal sites in Seattle
and to fight off competitive lines from
Portland.

SLEEP WALKING
Dangcroua THulilt Overcome ly ChnnK'e
of FdoiI.
The causes of sleep walking are various,
but the sleep walker always has a dis
turbed nervous system.
Often improper food, by causing indi
gestion and thereby poisoning the nerves
through the stomach, is a cause of this
trouble.
"My daughter for five years was
troubled with indigestion which resulted
in extreme nervousness.' writes an In
diana mother. "She would eat heartily
of meat, vegetables and pastry for a time,
and then become sluggish, lose her appe
tite, and get so nervous she could not at
tend to her school work.
"Oh " such occasions the family doctor
would call and by giving her medicine
would fix her up for a while, only to
have the old trouble come back in three
or four weeks.
"She would walk in her sleep some
times when her nerve were greatly dis
turbed by indigestion.
"For breakfast we usually had some
kind of cereal and for a change got some
Grape-Nuts. We all took to the new
food, my daughter became so very fond
of it she often made her breakfast on
Grape-Nuts, exclusive of anything else
sometimes also for lunch.
"We soon noticed a marked change In
her nerves, she ceased to walk In her
sleep and had no trouble with her
stomach. We were confident the Grape
Nuts had brought the happy change, and
continued to use it. so that now after
more than a year she is a rosy, robust
girl full of animation, strong and well."
