Levees Crumble Away and Falling
Barometer Gives Indication ot
Continued Rains in Valley.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 24. The
Jiews from down-river points received by
the Union today were far from encourag

On top of the discouraging news from
the South. Weather Observer Carr, of
this city, announced today that the bar

AGENT TO HIRE FARM HANDS
Walla Walla Wheatgrowers Form an
Organization.
WAl,IA WALLA. Wash., March 34
(Special.) At an enthusiastic meeting
of the farmers of the valley yesterday a.
farmers' labor agency was established
and it was decided to pay the agent
$lo a month. This money is to be
raised by contributions from the farm
ers themselves, those present contribut
ing $r each on the spot for the support
of the enterprise.
As the season gets older, the labor
conditions are becoming more acute and
the farmers are at their wits end for
men to plant their crops, but it Is
thought that the means now adopted
will be successful in bringing men from
other points. it is the intention of the
farmers to proceed energetically to
work and advertise their needs in vari
ous centers of population.
KOI G H TOY AG K 1 N LAUNCH
Party of Drummers Have Narrow
Escape From Newport Waves.
NEWPORT. Or.. March 24. (Special.)
This afternoon a party of seven travel
ing salesmen, while enroute from To
ledo down to this city in a small launch,
underwent a thrilling and dangerous
experience which they will carry up
permost in their minds for a long time,
and from which they were exceedingly
fortunate to escape with their lives.
The party left Toledo about 10 o'clock
A. M. The weather was wet and slightly
breezy, making the trip down the Bay
very disagreeable, but alt went well,
however, until a short distance above
Newport, when a t errif ic southwest
squall suddenly swept in from the
ocean and within a few short minutes
the hitherto comparatively calm water
of the bay was whipped into a scene of
wild confusion and the air laden with
sheets of water that stung the face like
a whiplash.
. The frail Utile launch pitched wildly
about in the huge waves until it
shipped enough water to put the gaso
line engine out of commission and in
this helpless condition was buffeted by
the wind and waves, narrowly escaping
capsizing repeatedly, until she was
blown ashore on the beach in front of
the residence of J. A. Olsson, where the
badly scared drummers were successful
In reaching terra firma, thankful that
they were alive.
It was largely due to the cool-head-edness
of Superintendent Liiidton, the
owner of the launch, that the little
craft ever reached the shore.
The names of the party were D. Web
ster, Alf. R. Kelley, J. p. Burns, C. B.
Pre witt, G. A. Cable, J. K. Pratt, C. G.
Rawlings.

RIVER HIGHWAY FAR LOGS
MAY OPERATE SPLASH DAMS IN
XORTH YAMHILL.
Injunction Asked for by Trullinger
Against Howe Is Denied by Judge
Galloway at McMinnville.
M M1XNTIIXE. Or., March 24. (Spe
cial. )- J udpp Galloway, of Department No.
3, of the Circuit Court, made an impor
tant deoLslon yesterday in the Trullinper
vs. Howe case. The case la of special inter
est to the lumber interests of the state
and to the northern part of Yamhill
County.
Trulllnprer. who runs and operates a
flour mill about four miles from Carlton,
sought an injunction aerainst W. A. Howe,
alleging? that the splash dams used by
Howe had tilled up his millrace and the
lOR-a had broken down his dam.
The case Involved the questions whether
Trullinger would have a right to main
tain a dam to divert water for power
purposes: whether he could acquire a
right by prescription to maintain a dam
across the stream; whether Howe could
use splash dams In the mountains for
the purpose of assisting; In driving logs
upon the stream.
In deciding the case the court held
that the North Fork of the Yamhill River
is a navigable stream for the purpose of
carrying logs to market and finds ithat
since 1S73 the stream has been used for
the purpose of carrying timber and mer
cantile stuff to the Willamette and open
markets. ,
The court further found that Trulllnger
cannot acquire any right by prescription
or lapse of time for obstructing the
stream and can only maintain such a dam
as will permit of the free use of such
stream as a public highway.
The court by decree permits Howe to
maintain and operate his splash dams,
subject to being answerable to any ri
parian owners on the stream for any dam
age caused by the operation of such
dams. The court denies the injunction
asked for by Trulllnger and dismissed
the suit.
The decision of this case is most impor
tant, since 1. 500,000.000 feet of lumber
could be brought out of the mountains
by .this means only. 9000 acres of this
timber Is owned by Howe, which he. de
sired to bring to his sawmill at Carlton.

Russian Press Pays Respects
to M. Pobedonosteff.
HE FAILED, HENCE PRAISE
Spoken of as Man of Irreproachable
Personality, Devoid of Selfish
Motives Most Dangerous
Enemy to Liberty.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 24. The
newspapers today call attention to the
death of M. Pobedonosteff. ex-Procurator-General
of the Holy Synod, and unite in
appreciation of his commanding personal
qualities, irreproachable character, inde
fatigable energy, deep erudition and great
powers of mind and will, by reason of
w-hich he was a dangerous enemy to
Russian liberty.
The failure of all the aims to which he
had concentrated his life permits the
country to judge him without rancor. His
death is accepted as the boundary be
tween the sombre epoch when Its guid
ance was supreme and ithe new era of
liberty against which he fought inex
orably, the sight of a complete triumph

of which death spared him. The coun
try views the dramatic moment when he
is lowered under the tombstone beneath
which he endeavored to keep the nation,
but from which the nation already has
escaped.
The greatest interest is attached to the
appreciation of him by Professor Paul
Milukoft, editor of .the Reeh, in which
the guiding personality of the new era
estimates the career of the guiding spirit
of the old.
"With Pobedonosteffs whole era, Rus
sian history sinks into the grave. To
him personally Russia is Indebted for 25
years of postponement of constitutional
life, which has made the delayed process
of liberation so stormy and painful now,"
says Professor MJlukon. "As the mentor
of Alexander III. he personally was the
author of the famous manifesto about the
maintenance of the autocracy, -which
blasted the hopes awakened by the re
forms of Alexander II. His role in re
actionary circles was peculiar.
"Aversion to a change In ithe organic law
was a trait of Pobedonosteff, which
grew with his passing years and led him
to try to stamp out every manifestation
of life.
"Popedonosteff personally was Irre
proachable. He never was suspected of
selfish motives and did not seek power
or influence. These came naturally be
cause the dreadful dearth of men In
Russia left him without a competitor in
the chief sphere of influence. When he
lost influence he stepped out without a
struggle, confining himself to an old man's
mutterlngs of predictions of an unavoid
able future of cataclysms. He always
was afraid to permit the full play of life.
Several years ago no one could have
guessed that he could survive . himself,
but this actually happened."

IN PRAISE OF MAYOR COMBE

SAN AXTOXIO, Texas. March 24.
"Mayor Frederick Combe," said Major
C. W. Penrose, who was yesterday ac
quitted by a court-martial of the
charge of neglect of duty in connec
tion with the Brownsville raid by
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth In
fantry last August, "was the only man
in Brownsville who could have handled
the situation. I believe he was solely
responsible for the prevention of a dis
aster, and he did this work through his
personal force and will.
"Dr. Combe said to me that when he
met that band of 300 armed men that
night he told them to return; that, if
they were contemplating marching to
the post they did not appreciate what
they were really doing In going
against three of the best military com
panies in the world, arid that they
would be wiped off the face of the
earth. It was through his indomitable
will and courage that he prevented
Brownsville from being in ruins today,
for. if that mob had come to the post
that night all I could have done would
have been to defend myself, and which
would have meant the ruin of Browns
ville." Major Penrose is under orders to

HEARD IN THE
ROTUNDAS
LINCOLN STEFFENS, of the Ameri
can Magazine staff, who Is now a
guest at the Hotel Portland, drifted
into the newspaper business, from whence
he graduated into the magazine, through
chance. When a young man, he was
made to hustle for himself and to gain a
livelihood he took to the newspaper busi
ness, which was his stepping-stone to suc
cess. Mr. Steffens comes of splendid parent
age and his family has always been well-to-do.
He graduated from the University
of California in 1SS9 and then went to Eu
rope, where he completed his education in
various universities.
When he had come to the conclusion
that he had had enough of Europe, he
returned to the United States, intending
to visit his father in California. In New
Tork a check was awaiting him and also
a note from his father, saying that from
then on he would have to take care of
himself.
The father recited in the letter that he
had given the young man every advan
tage and every opportunity to equip him
self with the world's knowledge and that
his idea was to make his son shift for
himself. He said that the hard knocks
would make a man out of the boy quicker
than anything else and concluded by say
ing that there would be no more checks
from home.
Shortly before being thrown upon his
own resources, Mr. Steffens had married
and he had another besides himself to
look out for. He knew little or nothing
about business and so he decided to try
newspaper work. By persistent inter
views with city editors, he obtained a po-
sitton on the New York Post. He made a
reputation for himself as a reporter and
soon occupied one of the editorial chairs
on the paper. Every reader in the coun
try is .conversant with his career of re
cent years.
3 D L. HOWE, who lives at the Hotel
L Portland, has probably the finest col
lections of hotel labels in the country. He
haa an assortment of nearly 10.000 labels
and is steadily accumulating more.
Every country on the globe has contrib
uted labels to the collection. In fact
there is not a first-class hotel In any
country that is not represented. Mr.
Howe, who travels considerably himself.
has picked up most of them but some of
the most valuable or most rare of his
labels came from friends of his when
traveling in foreign countries.
All the Continental hotels take great
pains with their labels and some of them
are masterpieces in design. These labels
are pasted upon the trunks and luggage
of the tourists and serve as advertise
ments. Large prizes are offered by hotel
keepers to induce artists to design labels
for them.
Mr. Howe is a traveling man. At the
different hotels in the United States
where he is considered a regular patron,
he Is known as a label collector. Several
times his friends have literally covered
his trunks with labels as a means of hav
ing fun with him.
THE HOTEL PORTLAND has the
reputation of being a first-class ho
tel, but there was a recent guest at the
hostelry who thought It very much out of
date. What Is more he showed no hesi
tancy in expressing himself. He lives in
one of the Central Oregon villages in the
bunch grass country.
One morning this particular guest called
at the hotel desk with a frown on his face
a yard long. He inquired for his bill and
after paying it floored Allan A. Wright,
the chief clerk, with the parting shot, "I
thought this was a first-class hotel."
"Why, of course, it is." replied Mr.
Wright. "Hasn't everything been satisfac
tory?" "Well. I should say not," retorted the
guest, "there wasn't even a tooth brush or
comb in my room."

HOLDS PUBLIC DISCUSSION
THE SWEDEXBORGIAX SOCIETY
OPENS HAItli TO DEBATERS.
"What Is Religion?" Is Subject Con
sidered Rev. Hiram Vroonian
Leads in Argument.
"What Is Religion?" was the sub
ject discussed at a public meeting of
the Swedenborgian Society, held at the
Knights of Pythias Hall, Eleventh and
Alder streets, last night. The meeting
was the first of a series of experi
mental sessions that will be held for
the public discussion of religious
topics. Next Sunday evening the topic
will be "The True Conception of God."
At last night's meeting the subject
of religion was presented by Rev.
Hiram Vrooman, who also concluded
the debate after a number of the audi
ence had given their opinions as to
what religion Is. Among those parti
cipating in the discussion was Mrs.
Abigail Scott Duniway. The discus
sion took a wide range and a variety
of interpretations were offered as to
the term religion, while one speaker
savagely denounced the Bible as a
compilation of mythical tales, replete
with contradictions and "musty fabri
cations." "Religion." said one of the speakers,
"is one of the original elements of hu
man personality. It is the highest and
best automatic impulse of the soul." A
majority of the speakers were agreed
that religion is improperly associated
with the church or the temple, ex
clusively, whereas the highest type of
religion consists, they contended, in
seeking to benefit one's fellow man.
"To discriminate between religious
experience and religious theory is of
vital importance," said Mr. Vrooman,
in introducing the subject for the
evening's discussion. "Religion is pri
marily a personal experience, whereas
the theory of religion Is secondary and
incidental to the experience of re
ligion. Every man is governed by his
ruling love. And every man whose
ruling - love Is at least 51 per cent
altruistic or unselfish in quality, ex
periences religion, whereas the man
whose ruling love is less than 51 per
cent altruistic or unselfish does not
experience religion.
"Bear In mind that I am giving in
my own words an epitome of the
Swedenborgian definition of religion
which represents at the same time my
own deep and firm belief. A man's in
tellectual conceptions are organically
related to his personal experiences. In
deed, experience always generates
thought feeling and thinking Invari
ably accompany each other. Hence,
our religious beliefs are vitally and
organically related to our religiSus ex
perience, which Is our religion.
"Any man whose predominating love
is at least 51 per cent altruistic or
unselfish will experience a serious and
friendly and reverential regard for
truth. He will be seeking Increased
enlightenment with the same persist
ency that water seeks its level. The
primary purpose of altruism or unsel
fishness is an ever-increasing useful
ness and it seeks trutn as the indis
pensable guide to this increasing use
fulness. On the contrary, any man
whose predominating love is less than
51 per cent altruistic or unselfish is
seeking. In the place of truth, ration
al excuses for selfish practices and in
dulgences that are not useful. Hence,
there are certain kinds of unbelief and
agnosticism and false belief that are
but the leaves of an irreligious and
Satanic experience.
The religious beliefs of the man
whose predominating love is at least
51 per cent altruistic or unselfish will
be. at their core, essentially true, not
