DR. SHORT WILL
LEAVE PORTLAND
Popular Taylor-Street Pastor
to Go East Soon on Ex
tended Vacation.
MAY NOT RETURN HERE
Preaches Farewell Sermon June 16.
His Work Has Been Appre
ciated and Many Will Re
gret Ills Departure.
vThat will probably prove his farewell
Bermon to his Portland congregation will
be preached by Rev. P. Burg-ette Short at
the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal
Church Sunday, June 16. Rev. Everett M.
Will will fill the Taylor-Street pulpit dur
ing Dr. Short's absence. He comes here
from Mexico City, and will arrive in time
to take up the work when Dr. Short
leaves.
At the morning service yesterday at the
Taylor-Street Church, the official board
announced that it had been decided to
grant Dr. Short a more extended leave of
absence, to begin Sunday, June 16, and
to continue for the remainder of the pas
torate year, which ends September 1. Dr.
Short will leave shortly after the middle
of th'e month for the East, Joining Mrs.
Short, who is now visiting In Delaware,
and spend the Summer with friends In
the Eastern States. But it is Improbable
that Dr. Short will return to the pas
torate of the Portland congregation.
Announcement a Surprise.
Yesterday's announcement by the offi
cial board of the church came as a sur
prise, not only to the members of the con
gregation but to the pastor as well, who.
In view of the leave of absence he had
already been granted, fully expected to
remain in Portland and continue his la
bors with the church throughout the
Summer. The health of Dr. Short was
for a time seriously impaired, but Ke has
quite recovered from that Illness. How
ever, In appreciation of his valuable serv
ices in the church, the members of the
official board decided to grant their pas
tor the customary Summer vacation to
Insure for him a thorough and permanent
recovery.
The following is the announcement
made by the official board at the services
yesterday morning, in the formal church
programme:
The official board and the congregation
thoroughly appreciate the services that Dr.
Short has rendered this church since becom
ing its pastor. This fact has been splendid
ly evidenced by the loyalty of the entire
congregation during his prolonged illness.
We all rejoice In his restoration to health.
In order that his recovery may be thor
pugh and permanent and his future useful
ness unimpaired, and as a further evidence
of the appreciation of the church and our
interest In his welfare, the official board
has decided to grant him even a further
leave of absence for the remainder of the
pastorate year.
It has accordingly been arranged that his
vacation shall begin in the middle of June,
and Sunday, June 16, has been fixed as Dr.
Short's last Sunday with us.
His Departure Regretted.
Dr. Short has served as pastor of the
Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal Church
for nearly four years. He has been an
enthusiastic and tireless worker and
under his pastorate the church has ex
perienced a substantial growth, the last
four years being numbered among the
most prosperous in its history. During
the incumbency of Dr. Short as pastor
over 400 new members have been added t
the church. It is a matter of genuine
regret not only among the members of the
congregation but the many warm friends
outside of the church membership as well
that Dr. Short will not be in the Rose
City this Summer. This feeling is only
heightened by the possibility that he may
not resume his dutieg in this field in
the Fall.
'I most thoroughly appreciate the kind
liness on the part of the newspaper men,
which kindness I have endeavored to re
turn." said Dr. Short yesterday after
noon. 'In no case have they abused any
confidence I have entrusted to them. I
also appreciate not only the kindliness and
the friendship of the people of my church
and congregation but also feel a sense
of appreciation for the friendship of many
outside of my congregation.
"Portland Is a great city, a beautiful
place to live, and to go from here is a
mattpr of regret both to my wife and
myself."
AOVISES ELECTION OF LAVE
Kev. Hoover Preaches for Mayor's
retention In Office.
In his sermon last night in the Memo
rial FJvangellcal Church, East Eighteenth
and Tibbetts streets. Rev. L. C. Hoover,
t he pastor, made an eloquent plea for
the protection of young men and in
behalf of good citizenship. He urged
that every citizen should vote today his
convictions of right, and especially spoke
for local option in the precinct in which
his church is located. He spoke on the
topic, "It the Young Man Safe?" and
said in part:
The hope of the church and the hope of
the Nation centers in the young man. We
must have men men of strength; men, of
character. Here the church and state occu
py common ground. Their Interests are
one. Whatever evil threatens the young
man harms ahke the church and the state.
Both should be concerned for the young
man's safety. Our boys and our girls de
serve t he very best protection that we
can Rive them.
Tomorrow it will be for you to decide
whether or not saloons shall be permitted
to carry cn their traffic at your very
door. Py your vote you will help to decide
the question one way or the other.
The saloon is an unmitigated evil any
where, and has no legal right to exist. But
If we must have them let us drive them
from our residence districts to the business
portions of the city.
Another evil that threatens our young
men, and one that is closely associated with
the saloon, in the gambling evil.
The gambling mania the desire to get
something for nothing will undermine the
business integrity of any individual or com
munity. It is a matter of local histoiy
that there have been fewer cases of em
besxlement in the city since the gambling
machines and ntrkel-ln-the-slot machines
have been put out of commission, thanks
to Mayor Lane. We feel that the fight the
Mayor has made along this and other moral
lines should meet with the unqualified In
dorsement of the (rood people of this
town at the polls tomorrow.
There Is more Involved than the mere
election or defeat of Pr. Lane. It wjlf mean
the Indorsement or the repudiation of the
reforms for which he has stood. Moral
conditions have been bettered, many pit
falls have been removed. If Dr. Lane la
ru-elected we believe others will have to
go. Personally. I know nothing against Mr.
rvin. but my billot win never, to my
knowledge be cast with the rumsellers and
society buxxards. The man they want. I
don't want. We should acquaint ourselves
as far as possible with the records of the
various candidates, forget party and vote
for men. And let not on fail to go to
the poll's. The enemy of pure morals and
civic righteousness will be there to vote
against your interests and the protection
of your home.
A conscience void of offense toward God
and man can only be bad at the price of
duty. If all the good people of Portland
will do their duty tomorrow I have no
fears for the result.
SPEAKS OF THE CONFESSION
Father Sherman Preaches at Cathed
ral on Its Origin.
Rev. Father E. T. Sherman addressed
a large audience at St. Mary's Cathe
dral yesterday at both morning and
evening; services. His sermon was ad
dressed to non-Catholics, and the theme
of both his lectures was "Confession."
For some time past Father Sherman has
been giving a series of lectures and
sermons to non-Catholics all over the
country. He has lectured In Portland
before, and is well known here.
Father Sherman began his sermon at
the evening services with the story of
Mary Magdalene. He declared that she
was the greatest confessor of all times,
that she exposed her sins to the cruel
and Pharasaical world, and aid so with
out any other motive than her desire
to repent. Father Sherman said in
part:
"After Christ's resurrection, he ap
peared to his apostles and said to
them, 'Whose sins you shafl forgive,
they are forgiven; whose sins you shall
retain, they are retained. He gave this
power to his apostles; in the name of
common sense why should they not
have the power to pass this right down
on to their successors? Christ did not
act for the few who would come in con
tact with these men, he acted for the
whole world, for all time.
'Tots tell me that you tell your sins
to your Heavenly Father. You do not
do this, for he knows all your sins,
even your most secret thoughts, deeds
and actions. "Why did he send a man
to act for him?
''The confessional is one of the great
est agencies for good that the Church
has ever brought into the wod."

ALL HUE RELIGION
Essential to Modern Business
Life, Says Dr. Corby.
BASED ON 'INVESTIGATION
East Side Pastor Questions Citizens
of All Classes to Ascertain
Views of Average Man Re
sults Are Encouraging.
Taking the suggestion of an editorial
which appeared in The Sunday urego
nian recently. Rev. James B. Corby, pas
tor of the First Unlversalist Church ot
the Good Tidings on East Elgntn ana
r-nt.rti, ,tat. undertook riurine the past
week to ascertain what is the religion of
the average man. . He maae mqunj
among all classes among thinkers and
others who are eneaEed in the strenuous
occupations of life. The answers were
widely divergent. Some were to the el
feet that religion did not enter into a
business man's life in tne sugniesi -ro
snmc of th. ablest men whom he
questioned so held, but Dr. Corby held
in hia .ri7ion vesterdav that every non

were not so It would not be possioie to
rtn btiBinefta 24 hours.
Rr rir Corhv snoke on tne suDject,
Th Rsiirinn of the Averaire Man." His
text was "What is a man that thou art
mindful of him? And the son of man,
that thou visitest him? Thou hast made
him but little lower than God and crown-
est him with glory and honor." tie saiu
in nart:
Th .vornra man tiRS a rollKlon. Tne in

day to day. It varies in form and develop
ment, but everywhere It is the driving-
wheel of 'ife. It is comparatively easy iu
prove this in the case of authors and
scientific men whose published works re
veal their faith. But when It comes to
the mighty hosts who rush along our
streets, the professional! men, the doctors,
lawyers and engineers; the merchants who
throng the market place, and whose skill
and enterprise employ thousands and sup
ply us with goods from all parts ot the
world; the men who came here from older
parts of the land and apply their Ideals
in the day's doings; me arusaus, iuv,....
ics and salesmen, who depend on the weekly
wage, who are faithful to employer and
customers who are Rood sons, husbands and
fathers, helpful and upright citizens. What
about these? Have they a religion i
-It Is difficult to induce them to talk.
They do not throng the churches as their
fathers did; some of them criticise the
churches very severely. Many use Sunday
for odd Jobs Instead of rest and worship.
This has led to some talk that men are not
religious. It Is said men are alter tne uunr
and will permit nothing to interfere with
their pursuit; If a fellow creature gets in the
way. down he goes before the Juggernaut of
competition, and the man shouts to the vic
tim. "Business is business." This is a tre
mendous Indictment if it were true; to think
of this great company of men directing and
tolling on the world's wor'i. going forth
without compass, chart or brake; simply
following the whim of the day or tne cus
tom of their fellows.
Original Meaning Is Iiost.
Declaring men are unreligious, and criti
cising the church as unpractical, grows out
of the fact that the word religion has
lost much of its original meaning. Ask
what a man's religion is. artd you are told
where he goes on Sunday and the preacher
he objects to least; and but little as to his
character. You learn what label he bears,
but not what he Is. .Jesus taught. "By
their fruits ye shall know them." "uy mis
shall men know that ye are my disciples,
that ye have love one to another." Christ
Identified himself with the weakest and low
liest: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the
least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto
me." He compressed all the teaching of
the prophets and the ten commands into
two great commands: "Love God with all
the heart and show your devotion by loving
your neighbor as yourself."
Rllfflnn a Jesuit conceived It is dynamic.
Christianity is in religion what steam and
electricity are in mechanics the power that
drives. Who that, like the Psalmist, sees
tli wtrlred In srreat oower. spreading him
self like a green bay tree, does not marvel
that so few give themselves over to evllr
Three-fourths of the business Is done on
credit. Dun and Bradstreet give a man
commercial rating fully as much on what
h 1 its ot what he has. St. James de
rlares: "Pure religion and undented before
our God and Father Is to visit the fatherless
and widows In their affliction and to keep
Itlmolf iinanntted from the world."
Ask any thoughtful observer If he does
not And the men around him upright and
rpnmus to human need? Are they not
r)voteri sons, eood husbands, obliging neigh
inn faithful friends, worthy citizens? Yes,
they answer. Yet they cannot see that this
!r relieion. Co error can be more harmful
than that which imagines that goodness
can exist apart from religion. There can
not be one good that Is religious and an
other that is secular.
The emphasis has changed and we ought
to thank God for it. Hard-headed, practical
men are more interested in the nere than
In the hereafter. Theology, like science or
fine arts. Is- a thing of benefit In- Just the
degree that It makes men better in this
world. Every doctrine is now asked
whether It will benefit the man In this
world, not whether it will save the soul tn
some other. Men want a religion for the
life that now is, because they love their
fellow-men and see that the labor problem
and the political question Is in the last
analysis a religious question. If you do
not love man whom you have seen, how
can you love God, whom you have not
seen?
Holds Him as a Magnet.
The nobler thoughts of God are the results
of kindness. Benevolence is the mother of
heresy.- Men will not cease to believe in
God because they question the trinity, any
more than a child will cease to lov. Its
home because it learns that its mother Is
the real Santa Claus. The thought of God
as the All Father In the life of the average
man holds him true to the best as the
magnet holds the steel. The working creed
of men who toil has been reduced to Its
simplest terms: they have neither time nor
inclination to split halra.
The average man loves Jesus. Labor con
ventions have cheered every reference to
his name. They recognize him as one who
loved humanity with entire unselfishness;
thev realize that every betterment In human
conditions Is but the fruitage of the prin
ciples for which he lived and died.' The
average man Is as willing to take the word
of the Apostle Philip that Jesus was the
son of Josesh as to take the statement
of the creed which says that he was born
In an unusual way. Men use the Bible and
reverence it a great deal more than we
give them credit for. Many have lost the
Idea that It Is an infallible guide to either
science or history, and question the morality
pictured In the Old Testament.
The average man believes In salvatiqn by
character. He does not believe in a fiery
hell, though if he calls himself a Univer
sallst he believes there will be a future
recompense for earthly sin either here or
hereafter. He cares very little tor goiaen
streets or harps, but believes there Is a
life for the spirit after the death of the
body. The plain citizen today believes In
the religion of brotherhood and the golden
rule. In a religion that is good to live
by: that strengthens a man to give his
neighbor a square deal. A religion that
substitutes the spirit of Christ, which bears
one another's burdens for the motto, "every
man for himself."
Must Do Straight Thinking.
It is sometimes said, "It does not make
much difference what you believe, so long
as you do about right." But straight think
ing is essential to right doing. Mariners
sail by a chart to reach their port; not
otherwise do men Journey along the path of
rectitude. Great truths or principles fruc
tify the mind; great deeds rest upon great
truths. The work and power of ordinary
life rest against and draw their strength
trom tne great DaiKsrouna ot religion.
As the compass, the chart and pilot keep
the good ships going from our docks across
the Pacific with their cargoes of grain
and bring here the products of the Orient.
so the moral motive keeps men dealing
squarely with their fellows in - trade and
acting with love and honor to those de
pending upon them.
The future of our city depends less upon
our bank clearings, our manufactures and
harvests than It does upon the religious
character of our men. Let fraud and
graft be tolerated as smartness; let the
visitor to our city be cheated by one of Its
citizens, and it harms us far mor than
a decrease in our postal receipts. Life fol
lows belief as stalk and fruit follow seed.
A man without a religion' would be a
brute. Religion is motive power and mas
ter in a man'i life.
Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the
earth." Salt keeps things from decaying
as much today as it did 19 centuries ago.
It is the men who are not for sale, the men
who give a good square deal In all the re
lations of life, men whose religion, like that
of the Master, is to be good and do good;
they not only save the world from decay
but lift the race up and on.
The men who labor by the golden "rule
against the rule of gold ought to give their
helpful Influence to the work of the Unl
versalist church: for once get men to gov
erning their life by these principles which
an increasing number believe, and swing
your influence with the institution which
seeks to spread abroad these Ideals, and
you will lift the standard of life among
many who are now In bondage. Time was
when men sought the church to escape a
fiery hell. But today men are ceasing to
do evil and learning to - do good, not be
cause they fear God, but because they ' are
led forward by the good tidings of great
Joy which are for all people.
ESTACADA CHURCH DEDICATED
Many Portland Methodists Attend
Services in Suburban Town. -
The handsome new' Methodist Epis
copal Church, just completed at Esta-
cada, was dedicated yesterday, the
largely attended services beginning in
the morning. Following was the pro
gramme for the day:

church cost about $3500.
The value of the whole property.
with the parsonage, will be (10,000, a
remarkable showing for less than one
year. Estacada is a growing town. It

rounded by a rich country.
ON POWER OF MORAL HEALTH
Rev.
I
J. JE. Snyder Preaches to Men
at Y. M. C. A.
Rev. J. E. Snyder, of Vancouver, Wash.,
spoke to men at the T. M. C. A. yester-
aay on a "splendid Isolation." His ad
dress was based on Christ's prayer that
the disciples might not be taken out of
the world, but kept from the evil In the
world. A man is kept- from sin by an
Inner hot an outward power, he said.
Every man has an instinct of peril just
as the animal has an instinct which tells
it when peril is near. If a man follows
this moral Instinct he will be safe. The
speaker emphasized as the second power
to preserve from sin the inner health of
the soul. In times of pestilence those
whose health is good, who have rich
blood, have a resisting power that is their
safety. Moral health will make a man
immune though he is compelled to live in
an evil environment. Preserve the moral
sensitiveness of the soul. Some may call
you green, but a green leaf of health
better than the seared and yellow leaf of
a wasted life. Do not lose the power to
blusn.
Added to these elements of safety every
man needs the anchoring .power of
great faith, faith In Christ and faith in
the good. Without It no man is safe.
The speaker then urged the claims ot
Christ upon every young man.
A strong feature of the programme
was the singing by the Portland Male
Quartet, consisting of William M. Wilder,
first tenor; Clare C. Richard, second
tenor; George H. Street, baritone, and
Raymond N. Hockenberry, basso.
Sunday at Sacred Heart.
Sunday was an important day -at the
Sacred Heart Church, on the Milwaukle
road, for both the old and young people
of that parish. A class of 27, who had
been under careful instructions, received
their first communion in the presence of
large congregation. Solemn high mass
was rendered at 8 A. M., when the first
communion was given. An appropriate
sermon was delivered. At the evening
services all the first communicants be
came sodalists. Also the boy and girl
sodallBts received holy communion yes
terday.'
At the evening services two beautiful
statues, one of St. Anthony, donated by
Dr. and Mrs. Rogge, and the other of St.
Francis, of Assisi, donated by Mrs. A.
Muessig, were solemnly blessed and dedi
cated. All the services were well attended
during the day. Rev. Father Gregory is
pastor of this church. -
Baptist Chapel Dedicated.
The chapel of the Baptist Church, East
Main and East Forty-rourth streets, was
dedicated yesterday morning with appro
priate services. This church was started
as a mission by the Second Baptist
Church, and now has cut loose to stand
Independent!-. It is expected that a large
church, will be built at this point. It is
a growing neighborhood and a big church
is needed. The small chapel will later be
enlarged to meet the requirements.
Celebrate Feast of Sacrament.
The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament

terday morning at the Church of the
Holy Cross at University Park. At

Governor Mead Favors High
way Across State.
FROM THE COLUMBIA RIVER
State Executive Announces His Can
didacy for Re-election and Con
gratulates Legislature for
Passing Primary Law.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., June 2. The
construction of a macadamized, state
road from the Columbia River to the
Coast, via the Yakima Valley, is being
considered by Governor Mead as a prac
tical and wise policy. The originator of
the scheme Is Contractor Mclver, who
broached the subject to the Governor
during his visit here. The Governor was
greatly impressed and promised to give
the project careful consideration. It is
suggested that the Columbia might be
bridged and the road eventually continued
East.
In a speech at a barbecue at Sunny-
ide, the other-day, the Governor took oc
casion to congratulate the Legislature on
passing the direct primary bill last ses
sion, and practically announced himself
as a candidate for re-election next year
to the Gubernatorial office.
It Is not improbable that the Governor
may place the construction of the state
hlehwav in the forefront of his pro
gramme, as his attitude respecting the
Government irrigation projects in this
Valley, which he opposed soon after
taking office, los aim many irienas in
this territory.
CQUNTRYRAI5ES MUCH M
TIMOTHY RICH RESOURCE OF
THE OTJLDESAO REGION.
Territory Tributary to the New Craig
Mountain Railroad In Idaho
Will Soon Market Big Yield.
LEWISTON, Idaho, June 4. (Special.)
One of the resources of the Craig Moun
tain country tributary to the new line of
railroad being built from Lewiston to
Grangevllle is the production of timothy
hay. A superior quality of this hay
grows abundantly all over the Craig
Mountain country, and shut off as the
territory has been in the past, the hay
has sold as low as $3 a ton on the ground.
and $10 delivered at the nearest market.
Since construction started on the Camas
Prairie line, hay has been in active de
mand for the teams that are engaged in
the work, and the price has Jumped in
proportion until the market price this
Spring is (20 a ton.
The road is now completed to Culdesac
and that place is made the market for
shipment. It is estimated in the next
three weeks that 900 tons will be shipped
from the Culdesac station to be marketed
in Seattle and Tacoma. This hay has
been sold by the farmers for J20 per ton,
making an Income of $18,000 to the farm
ers of a surplus after the excessive de
mands made by the construction camps
this Winter.
The country "tributary to Culdesac will
also ship this season 8.000,000 feet of first-
grade pine to Eastern markets, where the
factories will use it in the manufacture
of doors, window frames and other fur
nishings. The lumber shipments would
be larger If the assurance of plenty of
cars to bear the product to market could
be had from the railroads, but at the
present time the railroad is unable to
give such a guarantee and the product of
some of the mountain .mills will be limi
ted for this reason.
Tne shipments or craig Mountain pine
to Eastern factories commenced about
three years ago and each year has wit
nessed a greater demand for the moun
tain product. Mlllmen have received the
assurance that Eastern buyers will take
all the first-grade lumber produced by
the mountain mills and It is expected that
a Fall run will be made at several points
if- the car situation promises to be more
favorable for the Winter.
