FL000 VICTIMS
NEED I BADLY
Consul-Genera! Hanna Sends
Appeal to American Red
Cross Society.
THOUSANDS' ARE HOMELESS
Mexicans Are Doing All In Power
to Render Assistance, but Cries
of Distress Increase Daily
in Stricken Land.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. Tales of
great suffering in the flooded districts of
Mexico as told in telegrams received at
the State Department today from Consul
General Philip C. Hanna. brought forth
another appeal tonight from the Amerl
can National Red Cross Pockety for
funds with which "to supply our unfor
tunate neighbors of Mexico with the.
necessities of life."
The loss of life and destruction of prop
erty Is even greater then was at first
supposed, and it is predicted that great
physical suffering will prevail among the
homeless during the Fall and winter.
The destruction was greatest In the
country and small towns between Mon
terey and Matamoras. Mr. Hanna says
the American consul at Matamoras re
ports that place under water and a serious
condition of affairs exist and that the
railroads between Matamoras and Mon
terey have been washed out.
"We are sending supplies down the
railroad as fast as it Is opened.'" says
Mr. Hanna.
He suggests that it might be possible
for the American Army in the southwest
to co-operate with the Mexican army and
, American and Mexican consuls in assist
ing Mexican towns.
"It is believed by many," Mr. Hanna
said, "that more than 10.0V lives have
ben lost, and thousands are homeless.
Relief work is being carried on by the
head members of the Mexican Red Cro
in attempting to build small homes for
the 6ufferer before the cold weather
sets in. In making his plea for aid. the
Consul-General says there are great
numbers who have lost their all' and who
will suffer and die without help and
"The Mexican people," he continues,
are doing nomy to meet me situation,
V i . ,- rtaar lir iv rir favfiin hiicinpci man
and property-owneir has -suffered losses
and has dons all that he is able to do.
The people of England. Germany. Cana
da and the United States have sent help
In large and small amounts. A more
generous effort on the part of our peo
ple seems greatly needed."
All contributions received at the head
Quarters of the Red Cross at Washing
ton will be immediately forwarded by
telegraph to reliable relief agencies upon
the. 6cene.
OLD SETTLEMENT IS IX RUINS
Storm Plays Havoc AVtth Century
Old "Place of Peace."
LA PAZ, Baja California, Sept. 8, Via.
Guaymas. Sept. 12. (Special.) La Pas,
the oldest settlement of the Californias,
is tn ruins. The most terrific storm ever
known has wrought havoc in and about
the old pueblo. Seven lives are already
known to be lost and the shore is strewn
with wreckage from ships and boats in
the roadstead. In many places the water
Is four feet deep In the streets and some
of the thoroughfares are channels for
raging torrents.
Houses have crumbled Into the flood
and many others were badly damaged.
Communication with the outside world,
except by a steamer, which has Just
stopped at the port. Is cut off and the
greatest misery exists, especially among
the poor townspeople, the majority of
whom have lost everything they had In
the world.
From the country districts comes the
news that the devastation there has been
great. Without warning the cyclone
burst on this "Place of Peace," accom
panied by torrents of rain. The boats
alongshore and anchored tn the bay were
torn from their -moorlnes and most of
them were battered in collision or thrown
upon the beach. The sky was overcast
and many believed the end of the world
at hand, and crowded the old mission
church in a delirium of fear.
There are few Americans in La Pax
and none of them has been Injured, al
though they' will suffer considerably in
loss of property and goods.
HARRIMAN LAID IN TOMB
(Continued From First Page.)
At the time when nl daughter was pros
trated by a serious Illness, and during the
cTit.ri which followed, he sent me a nota
In his own handwriting requesting- prayer
for her. Time and time again he declared
to me his firm belief In the teachings of
our Holy Father. The mighty power which
he wielded sy his personal Influence never
obscured in bis own mind the need of abso
lute reliance upon the hand that governs
4he universe. A distinguished American in
speaking of him to me recently said:
Mr. Harrlman has done more for the de
velopment of the resources of the country
and the expansion of its power than any
other Individual in the last hundred years.
We are proud to know that he achieved
all this without violating the minutest prin
ciple of the preat laws of morality. To
those who maligned and misrepresented him
he showed no resentment; but was willing
always to allow time to prove his case, and
the proof never failed. The pettiness of
Jealous competition never for an instant em
bittered him. He. remained throughout all
those trying years sweet-tempered, amiable,
lovable. He was a burning and shining
light. God be thanked for such lives.
It was S o'clock when Archdeacon Nel
son took a nandful of earth and sprinkl
ing it over the bed of lilies that hid the
metal casket, consigned the body of Ed
ward H. Harrimnn to the earth on the
scot lie loved b-st. Mrs. HarriniSn and
ner cnnnren arove nome tmmeoiateiy
after the ceremony. Every one of Mr.
Harriman's fritnds in Arden and Turner,
received a remembrance of the day,
when the flowers that ha-e Been arriving
by every train for the past 2 hours were
dlstriouted. Altogether, the flowers would
have filled three express cars.

General Good Financial Condition
of Country Not Disturbed by
Loss of Financier.
NEW TORK. Sept. 12. The long sus
pense In which the financial world had
been held by the declining health of
E. H. Harrlman was ended by his death
on Thursday and speculative attention
turned promptly to the future. This
explains why the prices of securities
mounted buoyantly upwards on ,the
news of the death of the man whose
plans and activities involved more
widespread interest and material hopes
probably than any other individual of
his generation.
At the time of the late financier's de
parture from Europe and the discouraging
message he sent to his friends as a her
ald of his return, the conviction had
been general and growing more that an
early termination of his career was ap
proaching. The after effect of his death
showed clearly that precipitate bear op
erators had more enormous short sales in
anticipation of a state of disorder in the
market.
The urgent demand from this ele
ment, of course, accounted largely for
the violence of the recovery.
Of a class with this buying was that
by would-be investors who have feared
to buy Harrlman stocks at the ad
vances which have occurred tn them,
but who were eager , watchers for a re
action. This class of buyers made a
clear impression upon the whole stock
list. Their position seemed to be one
of abounding confidence in the general
business. Buyers of a semi-investment
class were largely in evidence.

of audience and subject, which seems to
weight me down. But I know you will bear
with me while I simply endeavor to draw
from the solemn occasion some thoughts
which may serve to make us who are so
sad In some ways better men. The lesson
of morality read to us here is not to us
alone, but to the whole country. For this
Is not a thing done In a corner: this Is not
a burial affecting a few resitlves and
friends: here we have one of the foremost
men of all the world struck down. There
Is not an American whom this event does
not reach.
Where Is the man that wielded such
power as this man who Is taken from us?
What a tower of strength he was In the
greatest undertakings and enterprises that
overspread our land: Rightly he received
the tribute of admiration which the Ameri
can people gladly pay to him who has done
best what every one desires to do.
As to our friend's private life most of
you who are here need not that I should
recall it. But on this occasion 1 know you
would have me speak of that which yonr
own hearts know only too well. You know
him as he walked over these, hills and up
and down hls valley simple, unaffected,
gentle and kind. In our sorrows he took
us by the hand: In our joys, he rejoiced
with us. and in every event he showed him
self a friend.
Of his worldly achievements and distinc
tion, we know nothing from his lips; from
sources entirely outside of himself we had
to gain our knowledge of this part of his
life. He could always he approached by us,
and when we needed advice his best thought
was directed to us.
You would not have me dwell on the
other side of his nature. At the time of
my arrival here, he sent to every man em
ployed on the place the following letter:
Arden. Or.inre County. N. Y.. Oct. 15,
ISfS To the Men Residents of Arden: The
lack of interest on your part Is dlscoursging
to those who provide the means whereby
you can have the important privilege of at
tending church services. '
Fair-weather Christians are of no more
use in a community than the same sort of
laborer, milkman, dairyman, farmer, car
renter, blacksmith, railroad man, or any
kind of a fair-weather man.
It seems to me that your responsibility
does not end with yourself, but extends
over those over whom you have Influence
This opportunity Js given your children
for religious training at Sunday school and
the church for yourselves and families.
It Is not a favor conferred on any one
else than yourselves and families. It is not
a favor conferred on any one else than
yourselves. If you avail yourselves of it.
I hope by next Sunday that you will evi
dence more Interest by attending the serv
ices. Youra faithfully.
E. H. HARRIMAN.
His realisation of the tremendous Im
portance of regular attendance upon divine
worship was illustrated not only In the send
ing out of that letter, but In his constant
personal practice when his health permitted.
He was also a most faithful communicant.

a high degree of interest attaches to this
assembly. The tercentenary of John
Calvin wiil be observed and a report will
be received from a committee which has
in charge the project of establishing a
denominational college at Weiser, Idaho.
Another matter of interest among the
churchmen is the selection of a synod

has stirred up church politics.

FARMERS' WAREHOCSES ARE
WELL PATRONIZED. '
Grain Delivered to Buildings at
Nei Perce Before Structures
Are Under Roof.
SPOKANE Wash.. Sept. 12. (Special.)
The popularity of the Farmers' ware
house was shown on the first day of grain
delivery at the new union house at Nes
Perce. Idaho, when 10)0 sacks were re
ceived, although the building was not
under roof and carpenters were busy
rushing the structure to completion. This
business is all taken from old-line com
panies. U. L. W. Robinson now has 160,000
ushels of new grain stored in his
Nez Perce house, while the warehouse
owned by him at the siding on the Nes
Perce & Idaho electric line, six miles
west of Nex Perce, now contains 30,000
bushels. It is estimated that 40.000 bush
els of grain will be stored in Nes Perce
warehouses this year.
Although the Nex Perce & Idaho elec
tric road has not heen completed and
will not be in operation until late in the
Fall, it is estimated that warehouses
built along the line will be. filled with
700.000 bushels of grain, and if the road
had been in operation last Spring it is
believed that houses with a capacity of
1.500.000 bushels would have been built.
It Is conceded that when the road la In
operation between 1,200.000 and 1.500.000
bushels will be stored along tbe new road.
his predecessor,, has not been willing to
proceed unlawfully, and the members of
his Cabinet who have had to do with
questions of conservation agreed with
his stand. Where the law is deficient
and stands In the way of carrying for
ward the conservation movement. Presi
dent Taft hopes to have it amended and
new laws enacted. . And It is upon Sec
retary Ballinger that he relies for as
certaining ust what legislation should be
enacted to permit of accomplishing le
gally what Gifford Pinchot and radical
conservationists would undertake, with
or without statutory authority.
As a matter of fact Congress has never
given much serious consideration to the
question of conservation; it could never
be interested. But the troubles that have
developed since the adjournment of the
special session will serve to- impress
upon both Senate and House the Im
portance of enacting well-prepared leg
islation which will sanction and aid the
conservation movement.
One of the most serious criticisms made
of the Roosevelt administration was that
It permitted too much legislation by de
partmental regulation and had too lit
tle regard for the legislation of Con
gress. The adherents of Roosevelt de
fend this source by saying that Congress
would not act upon the recommendations
of the President and that drastic action
had to be taken if anything was to be
accomplished. All of which la more or
less true, in some instances. Congress
did Ignore most of Rqosevelfs recom
mendations for changes in the public
land laws.
But, ask men of the other element, did
the Inaction of Congress Justify the For
est Service in promulgating and enforc
ing many of its regulations which have
the force and effect of law, and which
were not contemplated by the law; did
it Justify the Reclamation Service in
some of the radical policies It adopted
purely through regulation? These regu
lations. It may be said, were all approved
by President Roosevelt. In- spirit If not In
writing, but the question now raised is.
Did such Presidential approval make
these regulations right and lawful?
The present Administration has a
profound respect for the law. It is
proceeding on the assumption that the
executive, branch is merely to enforce
the law as it finds it; not to create new
law by regulation. That power is con
ceded to Congress. But where it is
found that the law is deficient, or needs
correction, the present Administration,
Instead of making these changes by
regulation, proposes to exert influence
upon Congress to have the changes
made in the mariner contemplated by
the Constitution. That will be done
with regard to questions 'of forestry,
irrigation and other resources of the
West. In many instances efforts will
be made to get legislation along the
lines of regulations heretofore Issued
by one bureau to another; in other in
stances regulations which are not be
lieved to be proper are likely to be
entirely dropped.

OIL STUDIED BY WATSON
PORTLANDER RETURNS FROM
HIS TRIP THROUGH EAST.
Declares Teas Fields Exhausted and
Best Supply Coming Now From
Illinois and West.
' D. M. Watson returned to Portland
Friday night from an extended trip
throughout the East and South, during
which he visited a number of oil prop
erties in which he is Interested, and ac
quainted himself with the oil situation
generally. During his trip Mr. Watson
was taken seriously ill at Kansas City,
Mo., and was confined to the hospital
theie for a period of three weeks. Mr.
Watson ascribes his illness to the ex
treme heat and says ifis a relief to get
back once more to Oregon's 'delightful
climate.
"First I visited my old home in Iowa,
then went on to Clarke County, Illinois,
and looked after some oil wells there,"
stated Mr. Watson in speaking of his
trip. "Then I went on to Parkersburg,
W. Va., and visited other oil wells and
finally went to Kansas City, where I
spent three weeks in the hospital as a
result of the extreme heat. After that
I went to the oil fields around Beau
mont, Vex., then to Pasadena and after
a visit with my daughter spent three
or four days in visiting the oil well dis
trict in Southern California and then
came on home. I certainly am glad to
get bac"k.
'Just now Illinois, Oklahoma and
California stand as the three great oil
producing states. Illinois is producing
heavily in the southern part of the
state, near the Indiana line. Texas is
falling way behind and it will take a
new field to revive the oil industry
in that state. The product in California is
large, but the output is just about
holding its own with a production of
from 150,000 to 180,000 barrels daily,
most of which is used as fuel. The
California oil, I find, is now mostly
controlled by the Union and Associated
companies, but the Standard Oil Com
pany also has a large interest, standing
third in the holdings.
"I saw something new' in Illinois,
where the Standard is. putting In 200
65,000-barrel tanks at Martinsville, and
there they are putting- in a "topping
plant,' to take the gasoline from the
crude oil before sending it to the re
fineries. "The price of oil differs in every
locality, apd West Virginia is Increas
ing its output wltlr a price of $1.68 a
barrel for crude oil. Illinois brings but
68 or 69 cents a barrel, Texas 76 cents
and California 60 and 60 cents. This
differential is due entirely to the grade
of the oil. although of course trans
portation has something to do with the
prices paid.
"They say the business situation is
improving generally all over the East,
with conditions good in the cities, al
though not as good as they were before
the panic. I noticed some vacant busi
ness places In most of the cities I vis
ited, while San Francisco has more
vacant business places and flats than
any city I saw In the East. Poor corn
crops through Southern Illinois, South
ern Missouri, Southern Kansas, all of
Oklahoma and fa part of Texas have
hurt conditions somewhat, but South
ern Texas has good rice and corn crops,
while all over the country the wheat,
oats and hay crops have been large
and well saved.
"I didn't hear a word of politics on
my trip, I never even heard any con
jecture as to who the next candidates
would be for President. The people
seem well satisfied with present con
ditions 'and are not bothering about
politics, as far as I could notice."

Commencing this morning, we present the
premier productions of the world's greatest
Pianomakers Checkering & Sons, of Boston:
the Weber-Aeolian Company, of New York; the
W. W. Kimball Company, of Chicago, and the
Lester Company, of Philadelphia.
There are but four truly great and repre
sentative American Pianos Weber, Kimball,
Lester and the founds of them all, the Chn-k-ering.
There is but one establishment In Port-,
land where these superb pianos can be obtained.
Every instrument in this display is a premier
a masterpiece. American pianomakers today
are unexcelled. American Pianos are universally-
recognized as the finest the world produces.
This superb collection, composing the most cost
ly Grand, Baby Grand, L'prisrhl and Pianola
Pianos ever assembled under one roof, is un
questionably the most artistic exhibit that we
have ever presented or that we shall ever be able
to present.
The most exacting taste cannot fall to be
gratified, here; the most cultured ear and artis
tic judgment will find here its ideal.
We are tremendously proud of the conspicu
ous successes that have attended our former
Piann p-.xhibitlons. but erreater preparations have
been made for this event than any. and the pres
ent one greatly surpasses them all in both mag
, nificence and magnitude.
Tou are most cordially invited to inspect
these instruments.
