PYTHIAN GRAND
LODGE ADJOURNS
Committees Named to Carry
On Work of Order Dur
ing Year.
WILL BUILD STATE CASTLE
George W. Hochstedler Has Attend
ed Every Annual Meeting of
Knights for More Than
"Quarter of Century.
In connection with the closing- of the
twenty-seventh annual convention of
the Grand I.dge, Knights of Pythias,
which concluded Its sessions last night,
it developed that one member was pres
ent who has attended all of the 27 an
nual conventions of the grand lodge.
He Is George W. Hochstedler, 460
East Burnside . street. Portland. A
charter member of Laurel Lodge, No. 7,
of Albany, he still maintains his mem
bership in that lodge, though he is now
a resident of this city. He came to
Portland to attend the first grand lodge
or the order In this state more than a
quarter of a century ago and has at
tended each succeeding convention.
Mr. Hochstedler Is a past grand chan
cellor and has seen the' order In this
state grow from a weak and strug
gling branch Into the present powerful
organization. Compared with many of
the other members he is not old in
years, but there is not another In Ore
gon who has seen such continuous and
uninterrupted service in the order. He
was present at every session of the
convention which closed last night.
Start Fund for Ctstle.
An Important measure adopted by the
convention at yesterday's session was
the creation of a fund for the estab
lishment In this city of a grand lodge
Pythian castle. It will be' the home o
the grand lodge of the state, as the
castle at Eleventh and Alder streets Is
the home of Ivanhoe Lodge of this city.
The resolution for the creation of the
fund was Introduced by M. F. Davis,
of Union. It calls for the erection of
a modern building In this city, the cost
to be determined later, to be paid for
by appropriating 10 per cent of the
yearly revenues of the grand lodge as
a sinking fund.
The entire forenoon session yester
day was devoted to further considera
tion and discussion of a new constitu
tion and laws. Early In the afternoon
the convention agreed upon suitable
laws and a constitution and they were
adopted. When that was completed
business matters of minor Importance
were continued.
First Chancellor Present.
During the afternoon session the con
vention was interrupted by the appear
ance of D. E. Buchanan, of Portland,
the first grand chancellor of the order.
He was greeted uproariously and the
ovation completely suspended business.
Last night teams from Phalanx
Lodge, of Portland, and a- team from
the Rainier Lodge competed In the
drill for the, grand lodge prize. The
Salem team competed on Wednesday
evening. - .
Before adjournment of the afternoon
session the recently-elected officers
were Installed and Grand Chancellor
Gus C. Moser delivered an interesting
address. He - was enthusiastically ap
plauded. He then announced the ap
pointment of Frank T. Wrightman. Of
Salem, as grand tribune and of com
mittees and deputy chancellors.

Bovines, and Plan Dark Hevrnge.
THREE newspaper men working on
the same paper but living In
widely separated suburbs had similar
hard luck stories to relate yesterday
morning when they reached the office.
The tales of woe were all touching on
and appertaining to stray and hungry
cows.. The trio laid a dark plot to
form a band of cattle rustlers, and rid
the outskirts of the vandal cattle. A

MANAGEMENT OF PHILOi
MATH COLLEGE UNDER
COMPLETE CONTROL
y OF FACULTY.
Professor White, President.
PHILOMATH. Or., June 18.
(Special.) A new policy has
been Inaugurated by which
the president, faculty and
business managers of Philo-
math College sign a con
tract for five years and assume
complete control of every de
partment, subject only to the
board of trustees, who may com
pel them to fullfll their contract.
It Is stipulated in this agree
ment that no debt of any nature
shall be Incurred, Tind that the
industrial feature, which here
tofore has. proved successful,
shall take precedence over all
others.
Professor White, -the new
president, haa been In college
worn, nearly all his life, and is
a man of culture, high moral
worth, keen business instincts
and a lover of the young.
garden and cropped the cabbages, let
tuce, radishes and other succulent
growths. His lawn was trampled n a
scandalous manner until It looked like
it had a clearly defined case of small
pox. And days of hard work had been
put In on that lawn too.
Matador Withrow had a similar hard
luck story, with the exception that he
had wasted no time on a garden, conse
quently did not mourn the loss of veg
etables. His gate had been forced dur
ing the night by prowling quadrupeds
and the marauders had chewed up a
portion of the morning paper. The
sporting page was gone and the
weather forecast had disappeared down
the hungry beast's throat. It appeared
that the hungry cows had tried to
drink a bottle of milk left by the dairy
man but they could not pull the cork.
Picador Rogers related a weird tale
of how he was kept awake by the ring
ing of cow bells and that he was 'forced
to stand guard and repel four-footed
Invaders all night, not getting a wink
of sleep. He got a unique revenge,
however, for as day dawned he tied the
four cows up to his fence and milked
them all. He fairly reveled In huge
quantities of the lacteal fluid for break
fast, being quoted as saying that never
before had he known what real nVlk
was.
The band of conspirators refuse to
divulge the' method of their revenge
but are known to be meditating dark
and fearful methods. When they can
hit upon a sufficiently horrible punish
ment they will Inflict It on either the
cows or their owners.
BODY IS FOUND IN RIVER
Tugboat "Wanda Picks . Up Remains
of Unidentified Man.
A badly decomposed body, thought to
have been in the water six months, was
found by the crew of the tugboat Wanda
shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, floating In the Columbia, near Sau
vies Island. Coroner Finley was notified
and tBe body has been brought to Port
land. As the river was dragged at this
point by Hugh Brady, in December, It is
believed that the body must have been
caught and held by a snag. In the right
heel of a logging shoe, which the drowned
man wore, was one of Brady's hooks.
Practically all of . the victim's clothes
had been washed away with the excep
tion of a blue flannel shirt, such as Is
worn by firemen, and the logging shoes.
The body measures six feet, and portions
of a pair of corduroy trousers that had
not been washed away by the current
were found upon unlacing the shoes. The
man had black hair.

Exclusive Passenger Service
for Yaquina Road
ADDITIONAL MIXED TRAIN
First Time in History of Road That
Passenger and Freight Service
Have Been Divorced Schedule
In Effect Next MonHay.
Exclusive passenger trains will be
put on the Corvallls & Eastern Rail
road by the Harrinran Interests on June
22. This will be the first time in the
history of the road that this line has
had anything but. mixed train service.
An additional train will be put on the
run between Albany and Yaquina, mak
ing two- trains a day in each direction.
The additional train to be put on will
be a mixed train, carrying both passen
ger and freight cars. It will leave Al
bany daily except Sunday at 7:40 A. M.,
arriving at Taqulna at 1:30 P. M. Re
turning, the train will leave Yaquina
at 7 A M-, arriving at Albany at 11:55
A. M. The regular; passenger train will
leave both ends of the line at the same
time as at present, pulling out of Al
bany at 12:40 P. M.. and arriving at
Yaquina at 6:30 P. M. The passenger
train will leave Yaquina at 2:15 P. M.,
arriving at Albany at 7 P. M.
Special service will be given on Sun
day throughout the Summer between
the two points to care for the beach
travel to Yaquina and Newport. A
train will make the round trip from Al
bany to Yaquina. leaving Albany at
7:35 A. M., arriving at Yaquina at 11:40
A. M. Returning, the train will leave
Yaquina at 6 P. M., reaching Albany at
11:30 P. M.
In addition to these additional facil- '
ities for beach travel,- baggage cars
from Portland attached to the South- i
era Pacific trains and carrying baggage
for the Yaquina Bay beaches will be
diverted to the Corvallls & Eastern at
Albany and run through to the coast.
By this means much time will be saved,
for the transfer of baggage at Albany
has formerly been tedious and trouble
some. All these changes will be put into
effect in time for the annual encamp
ment of the state G. AK., which will
open at Newport on June 24. lasting
three days. . Three special cars will
leave Portland next Tuesday morning
at 8:15 carrying veterans from this city
and vicinity, and the coaches will be
run through to Yaquina without change,
being switched to the C. & E. tracks at
Albany. McMinnville will run a special
car to the encampment and the old sol
diers from Eastern Oregon are plan
ning a very large attendance. General
B. F. Pike, of Moro, past commander of
the state department, was in the city
yesterday and he says members of the
organization from Eastern Oregon will
turn out in large numbers.
Archdeacon Chambers of the Episco
pal diocese of Oregon,' will address the
encampment as the representative - of
Bishop Scadding.
TRAFFIC WIMi BE RESUMED
Northern Pacific to Be Opened by
Next Saturday.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Charlton of the Northern Pacific Rail-way.-expects
his line will be open so that
passengers leaving Portland -Saturday
may get through to the East. Thousands
of workmen have been busy completing
repairs to the line since the floods swept
Montana recently and tied up railroad
traffic on tile northern lines passing
through that state. Every effort has been
made to restore traffic at the earliest
possible date and telegrams received by
Mr. Charlton Indicate that the efforts
have been successful and that trains will
run through as usual by Saturday.
From- Sand Point, Idaho,- to Garrison,
Mont., the main line of the Northern Pa
cific has been practically rebuilt. Thi"
is ft distance of 300 miles. Temporary
tracks have been laid to permit the pass
age of trains. It Is estimated that the
repairs to the line, together with the lost
business during the time the system was
tied up by the floods will aggregate a
total loss to the Northern Pacific of not
less than 5.000.00a When traffic is re
sumeoX the work of restoring the per
manent roadbed through the flooded dis
tricts will be taken up.
GITY HELPED BY FESTIVAL
EVENT IS REVIEWED BY PRESI
DENT HUTCHIN.
Compliments Citizens on Interest
Taken and Declares Future Will
Bring Even Greater Success.
PORTLAND, Or., June 19. (To the
Editor.) I wish to say to the people of
Portland that I am deeply gratified with
the shower of hearty congratulations
over the towering success attained by
our recent Rose Festival. I have an
abiding faith In the good will and
splendid Judgement of our citizens.
That faith Inspired In me one year ago
the belief that Portland, the Rose City,
possessed In the matchless rose a magic
power to create here a sentiment and
an annual jubilee that would attract
tourists from every quarter of the
globe. Just as the cherry blossom pa
rades of Tokio made that 'city famous
the world over. Just as the fetes of Na
ples and the Mardi Gras of New Orleans
have made those grand centers of pop
ulation Justly celebrated on two conti
nents, so will the Rose Festival make
Portland the cynosure of all nations.
Just one year ago I started to organ
ize the present incorporated Rose Fes
tival. It Is a stock company with $10,
000 capital. The Incorporators and
stock subscribers embrace nearly 100
public-spirited men whose civic pride is
boundless.
It was voted to give a festival the
first week in June that should cost
"100.000. A programme was projected
upon that high plain.' Enthusiasm ran
high until the late financial flurry came
and momentarily checked the splendid
progress. Wuen the financial clouds
rolled away the bright particular stan,
of hope was not shining so brjghtly as
of yore. Portland was facing a condi
tion and not a theory. It had adver
tised to the world a f 100,000 show, and
it had less than 20 per cent of that
amount to accomplish the object. Then
came dark days and times that tried
men's souls. The "weaker sisters"
talked of quitting and postponing -the
festival indefinitely. The Rose Festi
val was not composed of any weak, vacil
lating spirits, and the harder the task
the harder the sponsors worked for their
cause. It was painfully evident that the
$100,000 could hot be obtained and then
began the Herculean task of "making
good" the promise of an unrivaled spec
tacle. Nearly every important locality In Ore-
NEW TRAINS 141
gon was solicited to participate and many
of them did so. Seattle contributed a
magnificent float. The Chinese and Jap
anese did their part and they did it well.
The Woodmen of the World and the Elks
(."contributed handsomely. The Spanish
War Veterans, the Hunt Club, the Auto
mobile Club, Walter Damrosch and the
great Pyrotechnic Pain, with his inim
itable '"Vesuvius," assisted materially.
The City of Portland contributed an arch
of welcome costing J2500. And so it ran.
Everybody was persuaded to do some
thing for "Greater Portland." The Rose
Festival of 1908 came and flowered and
the odor of its delicious perfume still
lingers in the fancy of those drawn with
in the circle of its charm.
Of the 131.000 raised for the festivities
this year thousands of dollars were tex
pended for permanent properties and ad
vertising. Rose planting day was a mem
orable incident of this year's exploita
tion. A representative of the festival
committee was sent to Cincinnati to at
tend the National convention of Ad Men
and to Invite them to our Jubilee. A
representative was sent to Oakland, Cal.,
and another to Boston to ask great con
ventions to visit our annual feast of
flowers. Ten thousand beautiful invita
tions were sent to prominent people of
this continent and not less than a half
million pieces of literature were mailed
to people in' various sections of Amer
ica and Europe, telling of our wondrous
flowers, climate, scenery and resources.
More than 100,000 visitors were attracted
to Portland this year to witness the gor
geous night pageants that were equal
to any similar spectacle of the Mardi Qras
in New Orleans or Continental Europe.
Probably more than Jl.OOO.OOO was left
in the city by those who came to bo en
tertained and amused.

W.O. WETTERBORG MISSING
Collector for Ames Mercantile
Agency Mysteriously Disappears.
Friends of W. O. Wetterborg, 485 Pat
ton road, are very anxious to learn of his
whereabouts. He disappeared from his
home early Wednesday morning and had
not been seen or heard of by his friends
up to a late hour last night. Mr. Wetter
borg was a collector for the Ames
Mercantile Agency but after leaving his
home for the office of the firm, he did
not appear there and his employers are
wholly unable to account for his
mysterious disappearance. His accounts
are in good order and there Is no reason
why he should seek to disappear.
Mr. Wetterborg Js 27 years old and lives
with his mother. On Wednesday morn
ing, he left the house before breakfast:
His mother expected him to return home
for the meal but he neither did that nor
reported for duty at the office. Besldea
his mother, he has a number of relatives,
In Portland, among them three brothers.
The missing man Is a member xf the
White Temple and Is well known In this
city. So anxious are his friends that he
be located that E. A. Smith, assistant
pastor of the White -Temple, has joined
in the search for him and spent yester
day scouring the city In quest of Wetter-
borg. Any information as to the young
man's, whereabouts will be welcomed by
Rev. Mr. Smith or the missing man's
mother, who is distracted over his dis
appearance. No hint of any trouble that
he may have gotten Into has reached hi
friends and they are at a complete loss
to account for his disappearance.

TELLS ABOUT CONFERENCE
DR. HEPPE RETURNS AFTER SIX
WEEKS IX EAST.
Pastor of Grace Church Says Irate
Methodist Gathering Most Im
portant Ever Held.
, Dr. W. H. Heppe, pastor of Grace
Methodist Church, arrived home yester
day after an absence of six weeks in the
East Dr. Heppe attended the recent
general Methodist conference at Balti
more as an alternate. At the conclusionv
of the conference he visited at his former
home in Muscatine, la.
"The Baltimore conference," said Dr.
Heppe, yesterday, "was undoubtedly the
largest and most important gathering
ever held In the history of the Metho
dist Church. It was a very progressive
body, ready to take the initiative In all
matters that would bring the church up
to date in all of its departments. It was,
however, sufficiently ccyiservative. There
was a larger number of young men in
this conference than in former sessions.
"One of the most important measures
brought before the conference was the
dissolving of the consolidation of the
three societies of the Church the educa
tional society, the Freedmen's Aid and
Southern Educational Society and the
Sunday School Union and Tract Society.
Another Important measure, which was
not, however, a legislative enactment, but
merely a request, was the suggestion by,
the general conference that bishops as'

next semi-annual conference and the wis
dom of it will immediately be demon
strated. It simply means that thq bishops
will have a better opportunity to become
acquainted with the personnel of his
conference and to come Into closer touch
with the various churches, the general
needs and conditions prevailing among
them. Under the present system, the
conferences to be held by a bishop are
at such remote distances that he has
really little time to study the needs and
conditions existing in any particular sec
tion. "The dissolving of the consolidation of
the Freed man' s Aid and the educational
societies and the Sunday School Union
was deemed advisable by reason of the
fact that as their work was separated
their Interests were constantly conflict
ing. The consolidation was found to be
detrimental to the interests of the so
cieties Involved. It was originally made
to reduce the expense in the administra

Your Stomach
I Is Your Friend
If you have a good stomach and wish to keep it,
steer clear of lard-cooked food. Lard is made from
hog fat, and is more apt to be impure than it is to-be
clean and healthful.
Cottolene is the most reliable frying and shorten
ing medium. It is a pure, wholesome, digestible
product, that is bound to be more satisfactory than
lard wherever it is given a fair test.
Besides being more healthful, Cottolene is more
economical than lard or cooking
butter, one-third less being re
quired. It will, moreover, make
more nutritious food than either
lard or butter.
With all these advantages
on the side of Cottolene what
argument have you for not using
it? Your own grocer, if he is
progressive, has Cottolene for
sale. Buy a pail to-day, use it
according to directions, and we
will warrant you will never go
back to the lard habit.

"The fact that these bodies, made up
as they are, almost wholly of young peo

Interpretation of the article, is certainly
significant. Many missionaries declared
that any change in tne dlclpline would
certainly have a bad effect in the mis
sionary field, as they could never make
the natives understand that the church
still believed that the amusements speci
fied were wrong, and that converts would
consider It a lowering of the standard
of the church. With their narrow vision
they would assume, as would the man of
the world, that these things were now
allowable."
