OREGON HOLINESS ASSOCIATION OPENS ANNUAL CAMPMEETING INSPECTS LAND IN AUTO Stand Tnkeri by Executive Makes It All More Certain That Public Grounds Will Xot Soon Be Added To. Mayor, Simon yestordny afternoon begran n official inspection of property already : purchased and some which the former ( Park Board desired to acquire for park purposes, making; the, first part of his trip In an automobile, accompanied by Park Superintendent Mische and City Auditor Barbur. Upon his return to the City Hall at 5 T. M., the Mayor said that he was not well Impressed with the Judg ment used In taking over the land which he saw on his vlHlt. He stronitly Inti mated that prices far above actual values Wfre paid, and more emphatically than ever declared that he will not sanction any further deals in ground for parks. "After what I saw this afternoon." de clared the Mayor, "I shall ay that I will not tolerate any further expenditure of the people's money for park property. While I wish it to be distinctly known tnat I am in favor of plenty of parks and .boulevards, and stand for the beau tifying of the city as stronglv as anv loyal citixen. I will not allow the funds to he wasted; while I do not want to be understood as undertaking to hold up Improvements that are necessary, I will not sanction the sale of any more bond Tor buying property for parks. It Is i.othlng short of outrageous to pay such prices for land, and I will not tolerate It ' It was very evident from the attitude of the Mayor upon his return to the City Hall from the afternoon's trip that he. believes the former Park Board, aided by the City Council, . virtually squandered large amounts of the public fund that was created for the acquisition of prop erty for parks and boulevards. While he did not want to be quoted at length, he strongly intimated thUs, by saying: ' I know something of the value nf i estate in Portland, and I will never con sent to the purchase of any more prop erty at anything like the prices paid for the land I saw this afternoon. I have oareiy uegun my trip of Inspection. it seems to mejhat Portland has- n.ure parns man Chicago, and yet more am 10 De necessary by some.

Coming to the Pacific Coast to wed an Oregon belle, only to bo lodged in the County Jail, was the experience yester day of F. A. Shepard. who is employed by an Eastern oil company. It was a case In whlcn the young woman In the case changed her mind and, in order that she might feel altogether secure from any possible violence . at the hands of her admirer, she caused his arrest and temporary detention. Shepard was re leased late yesterday afternoon, after he had assured the authorities he would take the next train for Pendleton and never again Inflict his attentions on the affrighted young woman. The young woman of whom Shepard was enamored is Miss Hattle Lucas, until recently a resident of Hood River. Shep ard arrived at Hood River several days ago, as the result of a correspondence between him and Miss Lucas, with the Intention of marrying the young woman immediately. Instead, he was Informed by Miss Lucas that she no longer loved him and that she did not understand how It was she ever thought enough of him at any time to contemplate matrimony. Further negotiations looking to a happy union were forthwith dropped. Thursday Miss Lucas was informed by a friend that Shepard was known to be armed with a revolver. Accompanied by her uncle. Thomas Lucas, of Trout dale, where she was visiting temporarily. Miss Lucas came to Portland yesterday to enlist the aid of Sheriff Stevens in protecting her from Shepard. "While on their way to the Sheriffs office they saw Shepard on Morrison street, although he did not see them. Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Bulger, they returned a few minutes later and pointed out Shep ard. who was arrested by the officer. Shepard admitted he thought a great deal of Miss Lucas, and was greatly dis appointed when she rejected his suit. He disclaimed any intention, however, of doing her harm and. In explanation of the possession of the revolver, said he had owned it and carried it with him in traveling for the last five vears. Mr. Shepard Is 43 years old. while Miss Lucas is only 24.

Hooley, of London, president of the English-speaking sec tion of the International Good Roads Association, who was in Portland yes- leraay. "Take a few tons of cheap material and combine it with a little common sense and you could make that street passable instead of dangerous," con tinued Mr. Hooley, pointing to the mud holes In Hoyt street near the North Bank station. Mr. Hooley and A. W. Campbell, of Ontario, one of the best known road experts of Canada, came to Portland as the guests of Samuel Hill, of Seat tle, the good roads enthusiast of the Pacific Coast. Talks or City's Xeeds. Neither gentleman was disposed to criticise severely Portland's patched streets or compare them with those of other cities of the Northwest, but Mr. Campbell gave a few suggestions con cerning pavements In general and the needs of Portland in particular. Portland is a most beautiful cltv." aid Mr. Campbell, "with Its shaded residence streets and beautiful homes, and It seems to me that the streets in the residence district should be made into more nearly like driveways and promenades, developing that section Into a magnificent park. "There seems to be a tendency here to build wider street pavements 'than are necessary. In the East we think 80 feet from curb to curb is the proper width. I do not mean that the streets themselves should not be wide, but more space should be devoted to park ings and other beautiful elements. "This is particularly true where sheet asphalt Is the pavement con struction. Asphalt will have a longer life If the street is well -traveled. Traffic tends to pack down the pave ment and make it more durable. If the street Is not well traveled the pavement becomes porous and deteri orates much sooner. Then the nar row roadway Is constructed at less cost and 30 feet gives ample space for traffic and confines it so that the wear is uniform. Sheet Asphalt Is Best. "Sheet asphalt. I think, is the most satisfactory for well-traveled residence streets. It requires expert knowledge in laying, however. The asphalt must be kept entirely free from dirt. If a spoonful of gravel gets into the sur face the first rain permeates the pave ment at that point and spreads to the surrounding asphalt. "It shows almost at once as a large black spot. This spot soon wears into a hole and when patched greater care is generally used and a harder pave ment laid in the patch. Then holes form at the edges. You will notice these spots on many of your asphalt streets. "The grades in Portland have not been established with as great a de gree of care as should have been shown. The height of the curbs Is irregular and Is often higher than that of the sidewalks. There should be a slope to the street so that the water will drain off the sidewalk readily. Then the dirt between the curb and the sidewalk should be about an inch lower than the sidewalk, so the grass will grow up to and not above the sidewalk. The sidewalks and curbs are higher above the street level than the best construction de mands, also. Granite Blocks Too Noisy. "For the main business streete I think that asphalt blocks are the best pave ments. These blocks are a combination of asphalt and crushed rock and are laid upon a concrete base. They wear well, are quiet and make a street that is cheaply repaired. Granite blocks are best adapted to wholesale districts where the traffic Is heavy but if used on streets where many light vehicles travel, they make very noisy pavements. "I have been very much Impressed by Portland's new business blocks. The new buildings are magnificent." Mr. Hooley's chief interest in road con struction is in the country highway. As one of the foremost road experts of Eng land. Mr. Hooley was invited by Mr. Hill to attend the National Good Roads Con gress in Seattle as his guest and he brought a section of road surface all the way from England to illustrate to Amer leans what slight effect seven years' wear has on an English-built road. This Country Xot Backward. "By no means would I eay that this country is backward in road building," ald Mr. Hooley yesterday. "This is new country where progresslveness is shown on every hand, but one should not expect to find roads here that equal those of a' country of so old a civilization as England s. We spent part of this afternoon driving over the country roads near rortland and I was very well pleased with what I saw of the gravel road con structlon in this vicinity. "Do you know what .1 am doing now? I am building roads of refuse that costs nothing. I am using the slag from Iron foundries for road material. This sla when hot from the furnaces. Is mixed with tar. When laid it wears like granite blocks, is not slippery and is as smooth and silent as asphalt. Moreover, it costs when laid only half a crown per yard Persons should never speak of the cost of a road per mile. One road may be 30 feet wide and another may be more or less and cost per mile has little signifi cance. The cost should be expressed by the yard super. His Work in England. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of England. It is in what is called the Dukerles where there are a num ber of large ducal estates and where some of the forests where Robin Hood once TOamed are still preserved. It is necessary for us to keep up our roads, as we have so many visitors to that part of the coun try. While I have spent many years In road building, I suppose I have not made a single shilling out of It. But I want these roads to exist as a monument to my memory. Why, you people away ou here in the West speak familiarly of ma cadamized roads. In England, now. they do not speak of building roads when using my construction but of "Hooleylzing' them That term is pleasanter to me than would be the knowledge that the most massiv obelisk ever constructed would be erected m honor of my name. Mr. Campbell, Mr. Hooley and Mr. Hill left last night on the North Bank road for Maryhlll to visit Mr. Hill's ranch Yesterday they were the guests of honor at a luncheon served at the Arlington Club and in addition to them there were present, Theodore B. Wilcox. W. M. Ladd J. A. uolph, C. S. Jackson, Harry L. Corbett, Judge Lionel R. Webster. Her- vey Ldndley, Fred W. Mulkey, Edgar B. Piper, John F. Carroll, Richard R.

It seems proper for the undersigned to re spond to the good-natured comment upon a recent contribution apropos of the Trinity of his to The Oregonlan, comment made by an "-Governor of Oregon. The critic pictures me at Gladstone Park, to which place I went for nine years to try to help a little, engaged In three different acts, but the critic Insists there are not three different persona and one in all thlet. Certainly not. But there Is one personality In three different manifestations. Three differ ent times I voted at primary elections for my personal friend for United States Senator. Governor and Representative in Congress, but each vote wag for the same man, coming to me and others in three different ways. We may view God as manifesting himself as Father, as Redeemer and as the Com forter. The Father is God manifest, so the Son, so the Spirit. Do not suppose that I even think that I understand th!e any more than he understands that one mind "threes" itself In thought, feeling snd volition. God. the Son, was not born at Bethlehem for we read In John 1:1, "The word was with God .and the word was God." The incarnation greater than atonement began there but the word was always God. and will a'lwavs be God. The Idea of the triune God le liard'y a worn-out dogma. In almost all the churches the doxology Is sung. Edward Ever ett Hale, though a Vnltarian. always began his church service by calling upon the assem bly to sing the triune doxology, and the first thing done at his public funeral was for all to unite In the doxology. I aim to remove difficulty from interpre tation and to bring out what is revealed unto us In the Scriptures. Logic-choppers did not construct the system of Christian doctrine but of course we all may advance in our in terpretation of the Bible, as we do In our Interpretation of nature. We are not saved by a forensic act, but by moral movement within us. The supernatural acts naturally. B. I. HOADLEY. HIS LIFE AT STAKE.

MASTERS WINS PRIZE Over 600 Compete In Contest and Vessel to Be Christened for Ore gon Will Bear Name of First Steam Craft In Pacific. By direction of R. P. Schwerin, vice president and general manager of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company, J. W. Ransom, local dock agent, yesterday awarded to F. K. Mas ters, of the Oregon Launch Company, & prize of $50 for the most appropriate names suggested for the two steamers now being built for the steamship com pany at Newport News, Va. Mr. Mas ters suggested the vessels be called the Bear and the Beaver, symbolical of the states of Oregon and California. While these names were suggested by several other contestants, as Mr. Masters' let ter was received first the prize was awarded to him. The contest was opened several weeks ago, and more than 600 letters were recurved, suggesting names for the vessels. These vessels are to be launched ryxt October, and are ex pected to be ready for the San Francisco-Portland run about June 1, 1910. They are sister ships, and are 880 feet long, 48 feet beam, and will be the fin est passenger steamers on the Pacific Coast. There is peculiar appropriateness in naming one of the vessels the Beaver. as it was a steam vessel bearing that name that first entered the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It was in honor of this pioneer vessel that the new steam er Is to be christened the Beaver. "The old steamer Beaver," as she was called, was built in 1835 on the Thames. Over 150,000 people, includ ing King William and a large number of the nobility, witnessed the launch ing, and cheers from thousands of throats answered the farewell salute of her guns as she sailed away for the Pacific. But little was known of steam marine navigation at that period, and the far-off Pacific Northwest was even more of -a mystery, consequently much speculation was Indulged in as to the success of her cruise. The machinery was placed in position, but the side wheels were not attached. She was therefore rigged as a brig and started for her destination under canvas, with Captain Home in command. The Beaver reached the Columbia River after a passage of 163 days. Aft erwards she went into the coast serv ice, running In and out of every bay, river and inlet between Puget Sound and Alaska, collecting furs and car rying goods for the Hudson Bay Com pany's posts. For many years after her arrival on the Sound, she made frequent voyages to the American side of the line, and on one of these, in 1851, in command of Captain Steward, the steamer was seized for an alleged infraction of the laws and sent to Olympla. ine Beaver was extensively overhauled and fitted with staterooms, and ran between Victoria and New Westminster, A few years later she passed into the hands of the Imperial Hydrographers, under charter from the Hudson Bay company. She was used for this purpose until the expiration cf ' the lease in 1870. She was afterwards used as a tow boat for a period of seven years. In 1880 the steamer caught fire and her upper works were considerably damaged. She continued Jobbing around until 1883, when she struck a rock at the entrance to Burrard's Inlet and sank. She was raised and repaired and again used as a towboat until 1888. Today is positively the last day for discount 6n West Side Gas Bills. Read uas Tips.
