Newspaper Page Textio THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MAT 21, 1908. TESTS ARE MADE OF NEW SIGNALS Submarine Connection With Approaching Vessels Is Placed on Trial. TERROR OF FOG RELIEVED .lightships at Columbia Bar and Umatilla Shoals Experimenting i With Apparatus While Battle ship Fleet Is Passing Xorth. Under instructions from the local 'lighthouse Inspector, Commander P. J. Werlich, a test is being made of the submarine signal system. The tests were undertaken yesterday off the Columbia from lightship 88, for merly 60, and will be continued from lightship 67, Umatilla reef, 18 miles aouth of Puget Sound. This time was chosen for making these testa for the reason that the vessels of the battleship fleet are equipped with receiving apparatus, and as former tests were made by con jiection with lighthouse tenders, the present will afford an opportunity to &X distances at which the signals will be of useful service. The submarine signal system was suggested by a homely experiment. Boys In swimming, from time lmme tmorlal have gone under water and knocked two small rocks together the tapping of which their companions can hear at considerable distances. This carrying of sound under water was experimented with by the Inven tor of the bell signal until the appa ratus now being tested at the mouth of the Columbia was constructed. The signal has been' in use on the Atlantic with success for about two years. At lantic liners approaching New York barbor in foggy weather have been able to pick up lightships by this means. If the tests being made prove satls lsfactory. the passenger vessels of this Coast will doubtless hasten to be quipped with receiving apparatus, and in fact probably some of them are already, for it is presumed the system is In operation off San Francisco har bor, but. as far as known, no vessels coming to this port are so equipped. The apparatus consists of a sub merged sounder made of bell metal, about two feet in diameter, the tapper being operated from the deck. The signal is put over the side of the light ship, well forward, and submerged. The number of the lightship is sound ed at Intervals, similar to the plan of a fire-alarm signal. For Instance, lightship 88. off Columbia bar. will signal eight taps, then an interval, then eight taps. The receiver on an approaching vessel will record the number and the navigator will be en abled to identify the proximity of a lightship. The tests being made will determine the distances at which the signals can be depended on and their feasibility demonstrated for use at the two points named. Launch Steamer at Newport. NEWPORT, Or., May 20. The New port Navigation Company this after noon successfully launched the new steamer. Newport, from their yards at Yaquina. At 4 o'clock all was in readiness and the blocks were cleared away. As the vessel started from Its cradle Mrs. O. F. Jacobson broke a bottle of wine over the bows, saying, "I christen thee Newport." The launch ing was witnessed by a large crowd of people brought from Newport by an excursion. The dimensions of the new vessel are 78 feet over all, with 16-foot beam. As soon as completed and ln- pected the boat will take the place of the steamer L M. Richardson now on the route between Yaquina and New port. The craft is especially built and TWell-equipped for this service. . Trouble Among Fishermen. ASTORIA. Or.. May 20.

History certainly points to a different conclusion. Cut off the an nual salary list of $300,000,000 now paid by the brewers and throw the thousands of men In their employment out of their positions, and there must be hard times. I believe it Is time for the voters of this country to wake up to the situation. They have been listening long enough to the pal aver of such men as Rev. Mr. Knodell and other hired orators of the Anti-Saloon League, taking what they bear on faith. The time has arrived when every man Bhould start a personal investigation of the situation. C. E. BOWEN. USED TO STOP UP HOLE Painting Worth $500 Stuffed in a Broken Window. NEW YORK. May 20. That an effort was made to stop a hole in a cellar win dow with a $500 oil painting was the story told to a Jury in the Court ,of General Sessions, where Charles MciDermott was on trial, charged with stealing two oil paintings valued at $300 each from "Sher ry's' September 1, 1907. These pictures were cut from the frames, and it is charged tnat McIermott, who Is an ironworker and was employed on the roof of a building: adjoining Sherry's, took thm. "When he brought the piece of oilcloth home," his mother testified, "he told me he had paid 23 cents, and I told him he had been stuck. It was not large enough for the table and 1 tried to use it to stop a hole In a cellar window, where the glass had been broken, and it was not good for that." Mother Falls, Kills Babe. TACOMA, May 20While walking across the room at her home, carrying her infant son, Mrs. Leo G. Hague fell in a faint. The babe dropped from her arms and sustained concussion of the brain, from which it died almost instantly. VETERAN OF OREGON EXPRESS N SERVICE DIES IN WALLA WALLA James P. Goodhue Carried Mail to Corvallis in 1855 and Was Purser on the Steamer Active. AMES P. GOODHUE, 74 years old, . J one of the pioneers of Oregron, died In Walla Walla, Sunday a 6 P. M. He was 111 only a few hours, and his sudden death, caused by heart failure, was a great surprise and shock to his relatives and many friends. In spite of his age, he was most vigorous, and was active in his administration of the affairs of the Northern Express Com pany, for whom he was agent, until the day of his death. Mr. Goodhue, who was a great-grandson of General Putnam, of Revolution ary fame, left New Torlc City In 1852 for Oregon, on the fastest clipper ship of that time, the Siren, arriving In San Francisco early In the following year. In 1866 he was employed by Judge Lawaon to carry the mall and express to Colonel Kesmith at Corvallis. Later, he clerked for "Nat" Lane, at Corvallis, until the breaking out of the Rogue River Indian War, In 185. He was purser on the Columbia River steamer Belle, with Captain Richard Williams, when Jacob Kamm. of Portland, was engineer. . He was transfer agent for the Government at the Cascades, and carried express to General Phil Sheri dan, then Lieutenant of the Fourth In fantry, at Grand Ronde. In 1860, he oame to Fort Walla Walla aa wagon forge master, where he remained until 1887, when he went to the placer-mining camps of Bear Gulch, Montana. Later, he was purser on the steamer Active, plying between Victoria and Sitka, Alaska. During this period, shortly after Alaska was purchased by the United States, Secretary Seward made his his torical trip on the Active, to view his purchase. The captain of the Active took Mr. Seward to task for "purchas ing that God-forsaken country of Alas ka, to pester the unlucky navigators who were compelled to make the voy age with poor Russian charts." Secre. tary Seward replied: "The time will come when you will acknowledge that the United States made a good bar gain when It bought Alaska for $7,004,. 0." Mr. GoodtnlP said that even be fore he left the ocean they had trough down enough gold to more than pay for the territory. Mr, Goodhue was appointed by Presi dent VUlard, of the Northern Paclne Railway Company, as transfer agent at South Aiasworth, where he established a supply station, and thence went te Wallula, where he remained as transfer MCnt -eight feara. soiug te Walla Val. OPPOSITION FROM BAND OF Flies Pastor of First Spiritualist Church Indorses Cot tel's Ordinance. GIVES PUBLIC PROTECTION Weak-Minded and Unsophisticated Now at Mercy of Conscienceless Dabblers in the Occult, Says H. D. Barrett. Harrison D. Barrett, pastor of the First Spiritualist Society, heartily in dorses Councilman Cottel's ordinance forbidding the practice of clairvoyancy and kindred arts for fraudulent purposes. Mr. Barrett contends that the ordinance Is a Just and progressive measure, for the protection of the public from a con scienceless band of fakers. Discussing the pending ordinance last night, Mr. Barrett said: My attention has been called to an article in The Oregonlan of Sunday morning relating to the now famous ordinance introduced by Councilman Cot tel at the last meeting of tha body of which he is a member. I want to cor roborate the statements made by Dr. Cottel in regard to the introduction of that measure. He was not, as he well stated, the author of the measure. He presented it In compliance with the re quest made by many people who are be lievers In the higher Spiritualism that is now occupying the attention of the savants and scientists of the world. The document was handed to him by one of the members of the Council who asked his opinion. He simply marked it "By request." and passed it on. This was a most courteous act on his part and was certainly appreciated by those who are benefitted by the provisions of the measure. What does this new ordinance provide? First, it repeals the present ordinance compelling ministers of the religion of Spiritualism, ordained acoording to the usages thereof, to pay an unjust license fee of $60 a year. It places them, by this repeal, upon equal footing with. the. clergymen of other denominations. Why should Spiritualist ministers and their friends take exceptions to the .repeal of the measure that now discriminates against them so unjustly?. In the second place. It wisely prohibits charlatans, counterfeiters and all-round takers from advertising for the purpose of entrapping the unwary to filch from them their hard earnings. It does not prohibit - the practice or use of psychic powers In any way whatsoever. It does not prohibit ministers of any denomina tion from filling their vocations accord ing to the spirit of wisdom that is given unto them. It does not make medlumshlp a felony; nor does it declare that people shall not receive advice in business af fairs if they wish to do so. It is simply a wise. Just and progressive measure de signed to protect people from the machi nations of those who have no consciences and are merely seeking to exploit the peo ple out of their dollars. This ordinance does not interfere with any newspaper, but it does prohibit coun terfeiters using the columns of the news papers to advertise their wares. The pen alty is upon the counterfeiter, and not upon the paper. It proscribes the obtaining of money and property by fraudulent devices and prac tices in the name of any religion in the City of Portland. Can any honest man or woman take exceptions to this prohibition or to the infliction of penalties in case it Is violated? It proscribes the holding of any public or private meeting in the name of spiritual ism, or any other religious body, at which fraud or deception of any kind Is Intro duced or allowed to be practiced. Is it possible that there is a spiritualist in the City, of Portland who objects to this prop osition? Is there any honest man or woman who can take exception to It? For one, I deem it a most benefi The Late James P. Goodhue. la in 1891, where he had been In charge of the Northern Express Company's of fice for the past 17 years, and was liked and respected as few men have been by their fellow-cltlsens. Mr. Goodhue was a veteran Oddfel low, Joining Columbia Lodge No. 2 at Victoria, B. CL, In 1870, transferring his membership to Trinity Lodge in Walla Walla during 1892, when It was In stalled. He was Its first past grand, and one of the first representatives to the grand lodge at the meetings held in Walla Walla In 1892, and In Olympla In 1891. In Columbia Lodge, he passed the oaairs twice, and was several times a representative to the grand lodge. In which he held the office of grand guardian for a term of years. Mr. Goodhue was born In Salem. Maes, March 1L 1814. The following children survive him: C. H. Goodhne, chief clerk for M. G. Hall, superintend ent of tha Northern Kxpress Company, Portland: Frank W. Goodhne. capital ist, of Seattle: James P. Goodhue. Jr. in mercantile business. Salem, Mass. Mrs. W. H. Moffett, Mrs. H. W. Martin, and Lottie P. Goodhue. Walla Walla.

In this city within the last few years a wealthy citizen who stood high In the es teem of his friends and neighbors was victimized by a designing woman, in veigled into a marriage with her and in duced to turn over to her all of his prop erty. As soon as she obtained the prop erty she turned him adrift and left him to the cold charity of the world. He had no redress; the law would not protect him. He had to leave the city, and is now in exile in a distant city, depending upon the charity of his friends for his living. It is to prevent such crimes as this that this ordinance is further sought. . A gentleman called upon me today and informed me that he was cognizant of the fact that a certain servant girl who had saved $600 by hard labor became the unconscious victim of one of the glar ing advertisers in this city, lost all of her money and was rendered helpless and homeless thereby. Is it possible that there is a person in this city who will sign a remonstrance against an ordi nance designed to prevent such fearful crimes as this? "I know that some of these loud ad vertisers have hired agents to locate aged and wealthy widows and widowers to induce them to visit these wicked counterfeiters, whose business it be comes to exploit them. A leading attor ney in the city informed me that he knew of one man who was offered $500 to do this work In respect to two indi viduals only. Shall such things go on unrebuked at the hands of the clean thinking citizens of this metropolis of the Northwest. Men and women who are heart broken, in search of comfort for their bitter sorrows, occasioned by the death of some loved one, are led by these glar ing advertisements to the parlors of these conscienceless fiends and there de liberately robbed in the name of their sacred dead. Shall such practices longer pass unnoticed? God forbid that such should be the verdict of the citizens of Portland. Many instances are on record where men and women have been Induced to place gold, silver, precious Jewels and valuables of all kinds in the hands of these fakers In order that the same might be magnetized and draw unto their owners more of this world's goods and attract to them the spirits of their loved ones In the Kingdom of God. At one time there were not, less than B7 of these rascals plying their trade In Portland. At a public meeting -last night I was publicly denounced for opposing fraud and chicanery by advocating the passage of this ordinance which means the clean ing up of the civic life of our great and progressive city. Remonstrances were introduced in no (ess than two church societies and honest people were induced to sign them on the ground that the or dinance was class legislation and an in terference with sacred individual rights. Those who have signed these remon strances have thereby arrayed them selves on the side of the people who are fleecing their fellow citizens and destroy ing their peace of mind. Saturday evening a friend of mine, prominent in business walks in Port land, sought me and cautioned me against taking further action in this matter on the ground that I would be slugged by some of the fraternity when I was not on my guard. Is It possible that people of Portland are willing to sign papers in support of the slugger and against those who are seeking to remove him from the con fines of our fair city? This nefarious gang Is ubiquitous. Its name is legion. It has its grips, signals, passwords, vocabularies, books of exchange, paraphernalia, and all other things that belong to the realm of legerdemain. Honest men and women have signed papers remon strating against the removal of these tricksters from our midst. As a citi zen and a clergyman, I ask that the right be sustained and that the hands of our City Council be upheld in the good work they are seeking to do for us. Let us go to them en masse and ask for this very necessary and help ful legislation. In conclusion. . let me say that the First Spiritual Society of Portland, at Its last session, 300 people being pres ent, unanimously voted to request the passage of the ordinance and directed its pastor to go before the proper com mittee to urge Its adoption. It is to be hoped that other churches will fol low the praiseworthy example thus set for them. CALLS "OREGONIA" SPANISH Says EtymoIoglcaHy It Means "Land of People With Big Ears." PORTLAND, May 19. (To the Editor.) Various suggestions have appeared in The Oregonlan from- time to time as to the origin and meaning: of the name of this state, but none of them appears to be con vincing:. In commentinx editorially upon the sug-g-estion of Joaquin Miller that the name Is derived from a certain Spanish word (.1 be lieve the word was "oreja," meaning ear) The Oregonlan stated that the only defi nite fact In regard to the matter is that the word 'Oregon" first appeared In a book describing the travels of Jonathan Carver, about the year 1764. I believe I can ex plain the origin of this word In a manner more satisfactory than anything I have yet seen. In volume 1, "explanation of the Valley of the Amazon." published by the United States Government printer in t54. page 223, appears this sentence: "The Inhabitants are principally 'Oregones.' or 'Big Bars. from the custom of introducing a bit of wood Into, a slit In the ear and gradually In creasing the size of It until the lobe hanes Upon the shoulder." Lieutenant Hemdon. United States Navy, who made this explanation and submitted the report, found there Indians hundreds of miles from the sources of the Amazon In a region Inhabited by civilized men. but to which Spanish missionaries or adventurers had evidently penetrated and given the In dians this name, which they had retained.

Portland, Oregon. Spanish nonn signifies "big." Thus "oreja' "an ear" ; "Oregon." "a big ear. Simi larly, the early Spanish navigators in pass ing the southern shores of South America and observing the huge foot prints in the sand of the gigantic barefooted natives of that region, exclaimed, "patagon," "big foot." "Pata," "a foot." "patagon." "a big foot"; whence Is derived "Patagonia." "the land of the people with the big feet," by which name the southern portion of South America was known In the geographies un til it was absorbed by Argentina, and Chile. Now, what le the application of this South American name to the river known as the Columbia In the Northwestern United States? Simply this that for more than 100 years before the journey of Lewis and Clark, the Spanish settlement -of Santa Fe was a center of trade for nearly all the Indians of the West and that from thence. SpaniBh words were widely diffused among them; that among the Indians dwelling along the banks of the Columbia and Its tributaries there were many tribes having the custom of wearing large ear ornaments; that under similar circumstances the Span ish people would speak of them by the same name, "Oregones." and that this name would be transferred to the river whose banks they inhabited. Captain Lewis states in the Journal of Lewis and Clark that the first Indians whom he met after crossing the Rocky Mountains were the S nosh ones, to which tribe Sacajawea belonged. He states that these Indians occupied the river now known as the Snake and that they traded with the Spanish at Santa Fe for mules, saddles, bridles and varicus other articles, and that they retained Spanish names for various articles. . He also states that these Sho shones crossed the Rocky Mountains every Summer and hunted buffalo. I have not seen Jonathan Carver3 book of travels, but from what I have read about It I understand that he explored the head waters of the Mississippi, or the Missouri. At any rate, be did not cross the Rocky Mountains. It seems probable that he was told of the great river beyond the moun tains and that the Indian who Informed him. having no name of his own for it, gave him the name "Oregon." by which he Cthe In dian) had heard the Sboshones speak of It, deriving it from Spanish sources. In view of this explanation It appears that "Oregonia." Instead of being the "land of the people with the webbed feet." is ety mologlcally the "land of the people with the big ears." W. H. C.

A meeting of the friends of the Cot tel ordinance will be held tomorrow The deep, underlying cause of every old sore is a bad condition of the blood. This vital fluid has become infected with some germ or poison which. prevents the place from healing;. This infection may be the result of an in active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the body to be absorbed into the circulation instead of throwing it off through, the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the effects of a long spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this condition a sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula tion is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and inflame the tissues and further disease tie surrounding flesh. The only treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S.
