OLD PIONEER CALLED AWAY
David F. Schuele, Prominent Mason,
Came to Oregon in 1850.
David F. Schuele. who was buried last
Tuesday at Vancouver, Wash., with Ma
sonic honors, was one of the best-known
pioneers in the Oregon country. Born
at Phillipsburg, Pa., on January 29, 1S3S,
he came to Oregon with his father, by
the way of the Isthmus of Panama in
1K56, when about 18 years of age, to join
the Aurora Community. Few people are
there now who can tell the story of the
remarkable settlement which flourished
here in Oregon for some years under the
management of Dr. Kyle. Here the late
David F. Schuele, with his father and
brother, began life in Oregon, Soon, how
ever, he left for Idaho, remaining there
during the years 1S61-1864, when he re
moved to Vancouver, Wash., engaging
there In business with the late Louis
Sohns. another pioneer, who died some
yeans ago. In 1S75 he married Miss Jose
phine Eddlngs, daughter of John Kddlngs.
one of the oldest pioneers of Clark
County. Washington.
Mr. Schuele was a typical pioneer of
the Oregon country. Though by nature
quiet and unassuming he always occupied
a prominent position in the community J
wnere he lived and laoorea. ie was
treasurer of Clark County for several
terms, and also County Commissioner. He
took a prominent part in the Masonic
fraternity and for many years was the
treasurer of the Masonic Building Asso
ciation. In addition to his mercantile
business he installed the first water sys
tem for Vancouver, was a stockholder
in the Columbia Land & Improvement
Company, and also in the first railroad
built from Vancouver into the great tim
ber belt north of that city, of which
company he was secretary.
In 1S92 Mr. Schuele, owing to ill health,
retired from active business life. During
these years and until his death, he found
much to occupy his hours in the cultiva
tion of fruit trees, flowers and plants.
In these he took as much interest as if
they were living entities and fully en
dowed with human faculties. And there
was not much about these things, at
least in the domain of the knowable, that
he did not know.
The deceased is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Josephine Schuele; three sons, Louis
Fred, George Henry and Charles Henry.
of the Philippine Constabulary Service
also by three sisters, Mrs. Louis Sohns, of
Vancouver,. Wash.; Mrs. Laura Miller, of
Connelsville. Mo., and Mrs. Katherine
Eberhart, of San Francisco.

TO GIVE UP THE FIGHT
XO CONTEST BY OWNERS OF
FISH WHEELS.
F. A. Seufert Declares Unfair 3Ieth
ods Carried Bill, but That Upper
River Men Will Submit.
"If the dear people want to destroy
our business, that is something we can
not help," is the way F. A. Seufert, of
The Dalles, referred to the carrying of
the act through initiative petition elim
inating fish-wheels in the Upper Colum
bia, on the Oregon side. Mr. Seufert ar
rived last night from his home and reg
istered at the Imperial Hotel." Warming
up to his subject, he said: ,
"The law has received the indorsement
of the people, and those of us who are
interested in the fishing industry and
canning In The Dalles district shall obey,
of course; we cannot help ourselves. I
must say, however, that the vote carry
ing this measure is not the intelligent
vote of the people only those whose
sympathies are with the gillnetters at thy
mouth of the Columbia, who take two
thirds of the salmon caught In a season.
The manipulators of their campaign re
sorted to unfair and dishonorable meth
ods to deceive the people of the state
regarding our business and besides
thousands of votes were cast for the bill
by citizens who were carried away by
misstatements of the case at issue.
"We are not 'sore.' as the expression
is, only disappointed In the attitude of
some sections of the state that should have
given more attention to the bill and in
formed themselves regarding Its provis
ions. Take, for instance. Multnomah
County. We buy our supplies and ma
chinery in Portland, and still this county
voted to kill our industry. If the people
oi the state. Into tne treasury of which
we pay annually in taxes and licenses
over $10,000, do not want our money, of
course it's up to them to so decide.
"We are resting easy over the action
of the voters of the state and will move
our fishing gear across the river, or per
haps go out of the business entirely. That
seems to be the idea the lower river peo
ple had In making their fight against us,
for I received a letter yesterday from
Astoria saying that the stores of tfiat
place closed up last Friday and held a
jollification over putting the upper river
fisheries out of business.
"I replied to the letter saying that
a good seaman never started on a
cruise on a Friday., believing it bad
luck, and made no further comment.
By that I did not mean that we intend
to continue the fight, in the hope of
reversing the action of the voters. In
the first place there is no way to fight
the case, and we do not intend to at
tempt it.
"By the action of the people in this
matter the State of Oregon has gotten
an advertisement all over the country
along the lines referred to in The Ore-
gonian a few days ago: 'An army of
cranks is headed this way, for the
state has announced to the world that
all sorts of freak legislation can be
carried here." "
Mr. Seufert said that no further ac
tion by the up-river Interests would
be undertaken. He criticised the meth
ods employed by the Gillnetters' Union
of Astoria, which,- he said, passed the
word around to other labor union men
of the state that the fight was for and
against unionism, whereas the conten
tion of the up-river people was that
they be permitted to continue in busi
ness on fair and sensible lines. He
asserted that the gillnetters would
next move to abolish trap and seine
nsning in the lower river, and unless
the people at large studied the situa
tion more carefully they would wake
up some day to find that the gillnet
ters not only would control the fishing
mnusiry oi ine state, Dut would dic
tate prices that would make salmon
one of the highest-priced articles of
food offered for sale in .local markets:

Astoria Fishermen Declare Their
Measure Takes Precedence.
ASTORIA, Or.. June 7. (Special.)
The lower-river fishermen contend
that, while both of the initiative fish
measures were passed, their bill hav
ing; received the larger majority, will
be the one in force, and that the wheel
owners' bill will be inoperative. The
fishermen's attorneys have advised
them that such will undoubtedly be
the ruling of the courts on the initia
tive and referendum law and, acting
upon that contention, they assert
steps will be taken to see that the pro
visions of the bill to stop Ashing above
tidewater are strictly observed after
August So.

Downpour in Montana Raises
Columbia.'
WILLAMETTE IS COMING UP
"Warm Weather Contributes to
Freshets by Melting Snow in the
Mountains Continued Rise
Predicted at Portland.
Warm weather and the heavy freshets
which have been devastating Montana
during the past few days have cesulted
in a sudden rise of the Columbia and
the consequent backing up of the Wil
lamette River as far as the falls at
Oregon City. During the next week there
will be a steady rise and what the limit
will be is past the ppwer of the "oldest
inhabitant" and the Weather Bureau to
predict.
Ash-street dock was covered yesterday
morning to a depth of several inches
and the water is rising steadily. At Van
couver the gauge showed 15.6 feet and
the river still rising at the rate of about
13 inches a day. The rise will be greater
during the next three days and it will
then slack up for a day or so but there
is at present no indication of a drop.
Continued warm weather will greatly
assist in forcing the water to an exceed
ingly high ' stage. To date there, has
been hardly any snow water run oft as
the weather has been sufficiently cool to
prevent any raplrl melting of snow in the
mountains. The present rapid flood is
due largely to the storms and floods
which nave laid waste Montana towns.

Helena has been completely cut oft from

Northern have been tied up. Many
deaths have resulted.
The Big Blackfoot has reached the
highest stage known and the smaller
streams are on a rampage. The Bitter
Root Is a raging torrent and the Nevada,
Salmon, Trout and Hellgate rivers are
equally wild. The Bitter Root is fed
by all these streams and it in turn feeds
the Snake, which has been forced up
By the volume of water pouring into it.
The Snake River, at Lewiston showed
8.4 feet on the Government gauge on
Thursday morning. Twenty-four hours
later the gauge showed 11.3 feet and the
water was steadily rising. Since Satur
day morning, however, the rise was
slower. At Riparia, on the Snake River,
conditions were about the same.
The rise at The Dalles was not as
great yesterday as on the preceeding day
but there was a much greater flood at
Umatilla. There has been a small rise
at Wenatchee, which is on the Columbia
above the mouth of the Snake River.
A further rise of $ feet will close the
locks at the Cascades. The locks close
at 38 feet and in case of a continuation
of the present conditions, there will be a
cessation of steamboat business on the
middle river by the end of the week.
The rise and fall at the locks Is rapid,
owing to the narrow gorge.at that place.
Cellars in Portland begin to flood at
18 feet and the prospects are very good
for that stage to be reached within the
next six days. At 21.6 feet, the Wil
lamette will run into Front street at

HAUL AUTO JACK TO ROAD
Gear of Machine in Saturday's Ac
cident Not Broken.
The automobile containing Mrs. L. W.
Sitton, her daughter and two friends,
which ran over an embankment Saturday
near Oswego, was hauled back to the
road yesterday. The automobile, which
was being driven by Herbert Cook, be
came unmanageable and ran down a

that the machine lodged against. Mrs.
Sitton. her daughter. Miss Helen F.
Spalding and Mrs. Gale, would probably
have been killed.
Chauffeur Cook, after the accident, said
that he thought the steering gear had
broken. This is denied by the proprietors
of the Central Stables, who own the ma
chine. They say that the automobile, af
ter it had been hauled back to the road,
came to the city by its own power. The
owners of the machine are at a loss to
account for the accident. Beyond a few
bruises and scratches, no one was in
jured. The machine was badly marred,
but not otherwise damaged.

STATE LECTURER RETIRES
MRS. CLARA H. WALDO ESDS
FOUR -YEARS' WORK.
J. J. Johnson, of Portland, Succeeds
Her and Will Edit Grange
Bulletin.
Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, who has been
state lecturer for the Patrons of Hus
bandry and editor of the Grange Bul
letin for four years, retired from that
paper with the May issue, and J. J.
Johnson, newly-elected lecturer, took
up the work as ecitor. It Is no ex
aggeration to say that to Mrs. Waldo
the remarkable growth of the Patrons
of Husbandry during the past few
years is largely due. While in office
she visited and talked before nearly
every Grange in the state, urging the
members to adopt better methods in all
lines of farming. . The value of her
work Is fully appreciated by the entire
membership, and its influence will con
tinue. In closing her connection with
the Grange Bulletin, Mrs. Waldo says:
"The Oregon Grange has more than
doubled its membership in the past
eight years and requires only a con
tinuance of enthusiastic co-operation
among ourselves to raise our member
ship to 40,000, which was the ambitious
hope at the State Grange. With such a
number we could predict the success of
any reform or progressive measure the
Grange should support. With even the
prospect of such power in our hands, let
me urge every member to consider the
Grange a school for the study of all
questions pertaining to the betterment
of our homes, the business of agricul
ture and the standards of citizenship.
Words cannot express the grateful ap
preciation which nils my heart and en
riches my memory because of your har
monious co-operation with me In the
past four years. My successor stands
In the front rank of Patrons and is
noted for his ability and fidelity."
Mrs. Waldo will spend the Summer
at Newport, and later, with her daugh
ter, will travel in Europe. J. J. John
son, who succeeds her as state lecturer
and editor of the State Grange Bulletin,
is a resident of the Mount Scott dis
trict - and master of Evening Star
Grange. He is a lawyer by profession.
He will have his headquarters In Port
land. Mr. Johnson is a conservative
man, and will not advise any radical or
ill-advised action in his talks before
the Granges.

Piano
"At a great penny-worth, pause a while." "Be
sure you're right, then go ahead." These are pretty
safe maxims to follow even in the piano trade.
We can realize how on rare occasions necessity
may arise in the career of any mercantile institu
tion that compels the sale of even standard goods
at cost, or even below cost. This may happen also
in the piano trade, and at such times the wise buyer
will promptly participate in the advantage to be
gained.
But when a dealer frantically advertises that
"the entire lot (pianos) will be sold at absolutely
wholesale cost, saving each buyer the exact retail
profit," let us be sure that this is done.
Let a buyer fortify himself in a transaction of
this kind!
Here's the way to do it:
Do not pay all cash, even if you have the money
idle. Make merely a deposit of, say, $5 or $10.
Sign a conditional contract for payment of balance
as may be convenient, provided matters are right.
Take no one's word. Have a clause plainly written
into the contract which you sign, reading as follows :
Whereas, The additional consideration in the con
summation of this conditional sale is the representation
of the said (here Insert the name of the firm wishing to sell)
that the instrument is being sold at actual wholesale cost,
it is understood and mutually agreed that If proof can be
furnished that such style and make of Instrument has been
or can be purchased by the regular trade for less than the
amount to be paid, then and in that event the instrument
above mentioned Is to become tiie property of the signer of
this contract without any further payment than the deposit
first above mentioned.
Before finally completing the purchase, it will be well
for the intending purchaser to consult the wholesale depart
ment of Ellers Piano House, which will be authorized to
furnish accurate and competent information on the subject.
If the dealer demurs to putting this clause into the
agreement to purchase it would seem to be absolute prooof
that his claims will bear further careful Investigation.
Anyone wishing to sell at cost should certainly have no
reasonable objection to inserting such a conditional clause
in the agreement to buy.
There might also be an additional agreement to
the effect that the instrument so to be sold is as
advertised, "one of the world's greatest pianos,"
regularly handled and sold by the firm for, say, at
least three preceding years, and not of the mul
titudinous more or less questionable makes shipped
into Portland for the purpose of making a "splurge
sale," not to mention the undertaking by any
harsher term.
But this condition Is not at all essential the first men-tloned-one
is sufficient, we are confid--nt. The entire an
nouncement to which this warning refers is so surpristnuly
similar to one appearing in the Sacramento papers some
three years ago. that It is startHner, to say the least. At
that time a responsible dealer immediately offered to buy
the entire stock, if obtainable at tne advertised "wholesale
cost," which offer was ignored except to be met with vitu
peration and abuse unprecedented.
As a matter of fnct, we are very sure that a party who
receives his plflnos on consignment, even though permitted
to use the name of a house erstwhile quite prominent in
the trade though gone ssdly l"to decline of late years
anyone, we say, who has tc pay a big intermediate prolit to
Sail Francisco middlemen. cann"t possibly in any manner
compete with even the smallest of Oregon's regularly estab
lished dealers. Those days have passed, never to come again.
It has been generously conceded by custom that a cer
tain amount of over-statement in the usual run of adver
tisements is permissible, yet when a firm so far forgets
Itself as to make claims to being 'the largest piano dealers."
when the railroad records do not even accord them the dis
tinction of holding second, nor eve'ri third nor fourth place,
and when a cut of a building is boldly published that appears
to be at least 250 per cent larger tnan It really Is going to
be built for them by the Dow estate, we hope we may be
pardoned for appearing t'i transgress beyond the lines of
ordinary commercial usage in safeguarding piano buyers as
above.
It may be well to state that the Ellers House, of San
Francisco, has for months made the undisputed clnim that
the next largest establishment of its kind in San Francisco
can be snugly stowed away beneath the second floor of
their new Market street building.
"And in the meantime," as announced years and years
ago, and as has been proven by the ever-increasing growth
of Ellers Piano House, "the house of highest quality." " the
biggest, busiest, best." It I nufe to Kay that no matter irhnt
Inducement may he offered elNewhere, you ran uo far bettrr
