Kelly, representing the iron workers of
Portland, appeared before the Monta
vllia Board of Trade Monday night and
made an argument against the use of
wooden staves or reinforced concrete for
the second pipe line to Bull Run, favor
ing the use of sheet steel for this pipe
practically the same as the present pipe
line. He condemned wooden pipe and
said that reinforced concrete was liable
to be cracked by sudden Jarring and rrom
other causes. The meeting indorsed the
views exnressed bv Mr. Kelly and
adopted resolutions to that effect. The
Board of Trade also indorsed tne re
established grade on Villa avenue, which

General Owen Summers Issues Cir
cular Letter to National Guards
men for Meeting Tomorrow.
General Owen Bummers has Issued a
notification to the officers of the Sec
ond Oregon Regiment that the tenth an
niversary of the surrender of Manila will
be celebrated in a fitting manner tomor
row night.
In his circular letter General Summers
says:
It is the dslro of quite a number of the
rtlrl officers of the Second Oregon United
States Volunteers that wa come together
for a social reunion. It is now a aecauo
1- ten wars nlnce we volunteered for the
late war. Seven deaths have occurred since
that time. Quite a number are scattered
and In distant sections, but there are still
a large number of those who took a prom
inent part In the organization that can
meet. It has also been suggested that we
meet on Thursday evening. August 13. 190S.
at the rooms of the elegant Commercial
ii,K nf this cltv. from 7 to 11 P. M.. and
have a pleasant time. This date i quite
appropriate owing to the return of the Na
tional Guard from its annual encampment,
of which quite a number of officers are
.till associated wltn tne present organization.
The arrangements as outlined Include
a banquet and Informal talks by the
survivors of the regiment who are to
meet together. In speaking of the occa
sion yesterday General Summers said:
"Tomorrow will be the tenth anniver
sary of the surrender of Manila and close
of the Spanish War. in which the troops
from this state took an important part.
Ten years ago many anxious hearts were
waiting for news of those who were at
the front. The old Second Oregon was
on the firing line and took an active part.
Tomorrow night the ex-officers of that
old organization will hold their tenth an
nual meeting, from 7 to 11 o'clock. It is
expected that a goodly number of the
officers who have survived win be pres
ent to enjoy a few hours In social re
union.
''A large number of the officers have
been looking forward to this occasion
with great pleasure. Fifty-seven offi
cers were commissioned In the regiment
seven are dead: five are still in the Is
lands and two are in the- regular service.
Many are still in Oregon, building up its
great future as well as they did by their
bravery and loyalty when serving their
country ten years ago."

Members Conclude Change AVould
Not Affect Undesirable Places
Where Youths Buy Liquor.
It is believed that the City Council,
which will meet this morning, will not
pass the proposed ordinance, increasing
from J300 to S00 a year the licenses of
hotels and restaurants where liquor Is
sold. Although the measure will come up
with the recommendation of the liquor
license committee, It Is thought tlfat it
will be defeated. There are some who
will fight its passage, and others who
scarcely favor it who will not fight to se
cure its passage. It Is thought, there
fore, that It is doomed.
Councilman Cottel, chairman of the
liquor-license committee, who voted to
recommend the ordinance for passage
at the committee meeting on Monday,
made the following statement yesterday:
'I fear that the ordinance will not ac
complish what we want it to accomplish.
I have come to believe that it would be
best to cut out all the licenses where
liquor Is sold in restaurants of the lower
classes, and not let them sell liquor at
all. I think this Is what we -will have to
do: I am airald that there are a lot of
restaurants and hotels which should not
be allowed to sell liquor at all, no matter
what license fee Is charged."
Councilman Belding, who is strongly in
favor of curtailing the hotels and restau
rants where liquor Is sold, said:
'I will not vote for the ordinance as it
stands now. I want to see a provision In
it that will exclude minors from hotels
and restaurant dining-rooms where they
serve liquor. Why should we allow
minors in hotel and restaurant dining
rooms when we do not allow them in sa
loons? The Idea is wrong, and I will not
vote for the passage of the ordinance
until I can see that it is going to stop
a lot of danger that now confront young
people In hotels and restaurants where
they sell liquor. The Chinese noodle
Joints should not be allowed to sell liquor
under any circumstances. They are not
fit places for young people, and we ought
to try to protect the young. After they
become of age. they can look after them
selves, but before that. It is our duty to
see that they are kept from danger, as
much as possible."
While there are some Councllmen who
will vote for the passage of the ordinance,
the two named, as well as several others,
will oppose is passage, and it Is there
fore regarded as quite probable that It
will be defeated.

Dr. Andrew C Smith yesterday closed
up one of the most Important deals yet
made in the rapidly-growing .ortn ma
section of the city. Through the agency
of Frank Bollam he secured the corner
of Fifth and Glisan streets, being the
ground to the west of the Union Meat
Company's building. The piece is a
auarter block and was under a 50-year
lease from Rev. George B. Van Water
to J. Whyte Evans. Dr. Smith secured
the lease which carries with it a clause
in the contract that enables the owner
of the lease to have an option on the
orODertv for ten years at 60.000. Dr.
Smith and others who are watching the
trend of affairs In that district of the
city are ot the opinion that the property
is a decided Dargein at bu,wu toaay ana
most certainly so before the ten-year
ontion runs much longer.
The ground was burned over a few
weeks ago and It is said to be Dr. bmitn s

Associates to Everdlng & Farrell. The
consideration Is named as J75.0H0. This
transfer is made in adjusting the recent
purchase of the Columbia building by
the Realty Associates, Everdlng & Farrell
having held a mortgage on that property.
The transferred realty is located at the

Article in Seattle Paper Regarding
the Sage Foundation Prompts
Spirited Reply.
TROT. N. T.. Aug. 6. (To the Edi
tor.) I read In the Seattle Times of
July 6, ult., the following:
While the body of Russell Sage Is pron
ki within In his rrave. the millions
which he made. by methods which are con-
emned. even In Wall street, are o-mi u
otort hv hi. widow to one of the most re
markable charities ever inaugurated
The Sage Foundation Is entirely unbusi
nesslike hence the writhing of the business
like man who made tne monej wnicn m.
this great donation possible but It has
within It the possibility ot solving the entire
problem of philanthropy.
Theae are the opening sentences ot
a discussion of the Sage Foundation,
meaning the gift of lio.ooo.ooo put in
trust whose aim Is to teach men ana
women how to live better, more com
fortably, more happily and more successfully.
Passing the Question of taste and
Judgment shown In "vain imaginings"
of the condition or. a numan oyirn
whollv removed beyond mortal ken and
at rest with God who gave it, I will
deal with the career and conduct of
Russell Sage, a masterful man in the
world of business. The allusions to
him show a plentiful lack of authentic
knowledge which is at once notable
and misleading.
Russell Sage was born in the Mo
hawk Valley. New York, either in
Oneida or in Madison County. He was
born to poverty; he had his fortune to
make; he had vigorous health and grit.
He made his way to Troy, on the Hud
son, to seek his fortune. Right there,
as youth and man, he laid the founda
tion of his eminent success by his acute
Judgment and by his diligence in busi
ness. For that period, he made a for
tune" in the wholesale grocery business.
He outgrew the opportunities of
Troy. He could do large things, so
he removed from Troy. He was a man
whom his neighbors and fellow-citizens
respected and esteemed; they saw he
did things. His Immediate neighbors
In Troy elected him Alderman from
their ward.
An incident occurred while he was
in the Common Council that shows the
stuff he was made of. On a Fourth of
July a breathless messenger came to
his store and reported a bunch of ' men
who had been drinking had become
turbulent and were threatening riotous
violence. The Chief of Police was ab
sent. Mr. Sage was chairman of the
committee on police In the Common
Council 'hence he was sought. With
swift directness he went to the scene
of the Incipient disorder, arrested the
leader (Quinn), and put him In a cell
in the Jail. Troy had no riot that day;
and Quinn was saved from probable
penal acts that would have cost him
dearly. Mr. Sage resumed his work In
the store.
Russell Sago left Troy later but not till
he was elected Congressman from that
district and served his term. He did not
take an office in New York to catch and
shear lambs. He was a man of rare
energy. He became a great railroad
builder in the West. He said, over 20
years ago, that he reckoned he had built
two-thirds of the then mileage of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad.
He also 'did business in New York. He
thus acquired a great fortune; he was a
large investor in corporate undertakings;
became a director in many, and at the
same time he was a lender of money in
Wall Btreet on collateral security. Who
says that Wall street did not approve
his methods? Surely no man who knew
his methods. They were those of an up
right man. He won nothing by tricks,
by snaps, by underhand games and art
ful devices.
One act which Mr. Sage did in ordinary
business will set forth the spirit, quality
and decision of the man. It was related
to me by a director of the Consolidated
Gas Company in New York, of which Mr.
Sage was also a director. The gas com
pany had advertised for proposals to fur
nish a quantity of oil to it. The bids
were opened at the directors- meeting.
The Standard Oil Company had made no
bid. With obtrusive audacity an agent
of that company "butted in" and said his
company had not bid but would fill the
order for a price below the lowest bidder.
Almost before the. voice of the agent
spoke his last word, Mr. Sage spoke out
in protest: "No, you won't, either; for
65 years and more I have done business
and I have always done it right up nere
and he dropped his hands heavily on the
top of the table "I have never got down
nere"and he put his hands under the
table. The pantomime and the words
routed the agent who got no order that
day. So much for his methods ot ousi
ness.
Mr. Sage had his foibles; Wall street
laughed at them. He saved as closely
as If he were poor and bad to, but that
did not cost Wall street and its business
men anything, x He did not dupe, and
trick and play the game with a lure. He
played above board, on top of the table.
From poverty and need he came to great
wealth. If he did not give freely, wno
can tell what aims he had, what purposes
he had, what hopes he had that gave him
energy, that molded his habits, that made
him the man he was?
Mr. Sage was a very self-reliant man.
The chaff and banter and criticism of
other men did not stir him; he. went his
own gait. It is hard to read such a
man. Why, In Western Massachusetts
at Northampton or Hadley a man worked
for years laboriously and bore with no
complaints the Jollying and the gibes of
his neighbor's. By his death his purpose
was disclosed, the munificent endowment
of Smith Charities for helping young men
and women by him founded one of the
greatest beneficent Institutions in New
England at Northampton.
Mr. Sage won a great fortune by his
natural gifts. God Almighty endowed
him richly. He had a trust which he
kept with fidelity. He belongs to the
class of men like Commodore Vanderbllt,
Andrew Carnegie, Ezra Cornell, George
Peabody, etc. Some men preach In these
days that a curb should be put on such
men. The preaching Is rot. There are
diversities of gifts, said the apostle. Shall
little fellows seek to thwart Divine Provi
dence? It would be impotent folly, ,lf
undertaken. He will get his way.- be
sure. Rather let us be thankful for his
gifts, which help sustain and Inspire men
and show forth how great, how strong
and how really noble the creature made
in God's image may be In- performance
and generosity. HENRY U LAMB.

Captain Magenn Rowed to Ship by

When the steamer Breakwater came
into Coos Bay to resume the run be

officers of his ship. A boat was manned
by the officers, who were In dress uni
