PRAISES OF LUTE
RULER ARE SUNG
White Temple Is Filled With
Mourners, at Memorial
Services for King.
QUEEN ALEXANDRA PRAISED
Dr. Hinson Says It Is Fitting That
Americans, Whose Forefathers
Helped Build TJp the British
Xation, Should Pay Respect.
With appropriate services, including
.prayer, sons, scripture, reading and
an eloquent eulogy, due respect was
paid to the memory of the late King
JEdward of Great Britain by a large
congregation of people from all parts
of the city, who filled the White Tem
ple to its capacity yesterday afternoon.
The feature of the occasion was the
address delivered by Rev. W. B. Hln
'son, pastor of the White Temple, who
paid even a more eloquent tribute to
Queen Alexandra than to her dead
husband, although he pictured the late
xiing as a model ruler.
Throughout the long service, the
'eplrit of Americanism was constantly
made evident, in spite Of the nation
ality of the man whose memory
'prompted the gathering.
Children Pay Kespects.
"It wpuld seem to be fitting," said
Dr. Hinson in his address, "and ap
propriate that we should gather here
today in this memorial service to ex
press our sympathetic regard for the
stricken nation which mourns the sud
den passing away of its gracious and
grifted King. Fitting is it that we
Britishers, whose fathers with their
fathers helped build up on the other
side of the Atlantic a great world
power; it is fitting that we, their chil
dren, whose fathers sleep in English
soil, should join in- free America with
their old-time kith and kin in the gen
eral mourning over a great man fallen
and a strong pillar of the church re
moved. "And as Americans, also, we have
assembled here today. . Under the
newer flag, the Stars and Stripes,
toward which we lovingly gaze, and to
which we have pledged our deathless
loyalty, should here gather to express
our sympathy and' regret."
Queen Paid Tribute.
Concerning Queen -Alexandra, Dr.
Hinson said, in part:
"Wet, too, are we .to sympathetically
remember that gracious woman, who,
with significant fittingness, has se
lected for herself the title of the
'Queen Mother."
"when she in all her youhtful purity
and beauty passed from her northern
home to England to become the bride
of the heir apparent to the British
throne, thousands of children, taught
bj Tennyson, triumpnantly sang:
Sea King's daughter from ever the sea,
Saxon and Norman and Dane are we.
But all of us Dane in our welcome to thee,
Alexandra!
"And now when the storms are about
her; the law moaning thunder in her
cars, and the black loneliness settling
around her, we solemnly chant:
For Saxon, or Dane or Norman we.
Teuton or Celt, or whatever we be.
We are each all Dane in our sorrow for- thee.
Heart Ever Tender.
"A royal woman indeed is she, and
for our cousins over the seas we can
offer no better prayer than that all
succeeding rulers of England, even to
the end of time, may be such as shall
merit 'the approval of this royal lady,
whose heart was ever tender and true;
whose hand was ever ready to help;
whose tongue has uttered nothing base;
whose whole life is as pure as God's
last snow upon the mountain peak."
The White Temple was tastefully
decorated with roses for the memorial
services, over which Dr. A. A. Morri
' BOn presided.
LYLE OFFERS NEW TROUT
Believed to Be Xew Hampshire
Brook Species. .
LYLE, Wash., May 22. (Special.)
A new trout has been discovered in the
waters of the Big Klickitat. The rec
ord of first catch was made by Arthur
E. Gosting, of The Dalles, formerly
of Le Mars, la., in the vicinity of Wah
kiacus. The fish was 18 inches long, weighed
three pounds, and of excellent, flavor
when cooked. Unlike the usual trout,
the fish was of a grayish color, there
was a general absence of spots on the
back and the tail square. The flesh
was a light orange tint and when
cooked resembled white fish.
Fishermen about Lyle are at a loss
to place the' species. Herbert Bolton
believes it is identical with the New
Hampshire brook trout that Pierce
Mays, of Portland,' planted in Tygh
Creek six years ago. The Tygh joins
the Deschutes 20 miles from the Co
lumbia River and is now teeming with
the Eastern trout.'
UPLAND ORCHARD IS BEST
Valuable Tracts Xear Dayton Selling
at High Figures.
DAYTON. Wash., May 22. (Special.)
Recent purchase of several upland
tracts near Dayton indicates that, fol
lowing the prediction of Professor J. L.
Dumas, the "upland orchard is to be
the orchard of the future." This is ac
counted for by the rapid and substan
tial increase of land values in the
valley.
Several tracts were purchased this
week at $140 an acre, while land adjacent
in the valley is selling for from $300
to $430 an acre. It is predicted at least
73.000 apple trees will be planted in
the Dayton country this Fall. Among
purchasers of upland tracts this week
are County Clerk Jack Swart, William
Hammer, W. H. Young, Jeremiah Smart,
Clark Israel and P. A. Hatfield.
OLD ROAD BEING REPAIRED
Itoute From Goldendale to Yakima
Valley Will Soon Be in Shape.
GOLDENDALE, Wash., May 22.
(Special.) The County Commissioners
of Klickitat County have a large crew
of men at work on the Satus Creek
road from Goldendale to the Yakima
Valley. The road is being worked
from the Summit House to the first
high bridge. A bridge will be built
at the upper crossing.- and when this
is done, the road will be in shape for
automobile traffic Heretofore, people
going from Goldendale to the Yakima
Valley have had 'to make a detour by
way of Bickleton and Mabton with au
tomobiles. The "Satus road is the main highway
for people traveling between Central
Oregon and the Yakima Valley. It
was formerly the route of the stage
line from The Dalles to Ellensburg.
before the advent of the. Northern Pa
cific, . but of late years it became in
a sad state of repair because the
route traversed from the summit of the
Simcoe Mountains runs through the
Yakima Indian reservation for 50
miles, the territory being inhabited
only by a few Indians along Satus
Creek. The bridges were unsafe and
the road was nearly impassable in
places last season. (
Late last Fall the County Commis
sioners of Yakima County expended
about $5000. The old bridges on the
upper Satus have been replaced. A
bridge was built at the lower crossing.

HIBERNIANS MAKE PLANS
NATION' AI, CONVENTION OF OR-
DER TO BE HELD HERE.
Thousands of Visitors Expected, and
Certain Delegations Already
Reserve Accommodations.
Interest in the National Hibernian
Convention to be held in Portland July
18. to 24 is pronounced by members
of the executive Committee to be
greater than was ever displayed so
far in advance of any other meeting.
"The Irish are headed this way,"
said E. H. Deery, secretary, yesterday,
and there is no way in the world to
prevent the Portland convention from
registering the greatest success in the
history of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. "The dates come at a season of the
year when the Easterner is looking for
an opportunity to escape oppressive
heat, and the low rate of $62.50- from
Chicago, with corresponding rates from
other points, will operate to make the
Coast the objective point of a large
number of people. I don't wait to
make an estimate of the number that
will be here, but there will be so many
thousands that it will tax the city
hotels to take care of them.
"We are both Portlanders and Hi
bernians, and our purpose is to make
this meeting so successful that Port
land may become known as the most
pleasantly situated and surrounded
convention city in the United States.
We -are going to send the Hibernians
home talking about Portland and Ore
gon." The last issue of the National Hi
bernian, official organ of the order,
devoted the larger part of its front
page to Portland and the coming con
vention. Its editorial columns also
quoted at length a letter from Arch
bishop Christie, of this city, in which
he held out golden promises of what
may be expected from a visit to tho
home of the rose.
Seattle has arranged for a - special
train from Washington points and on
Wednesday, July 20. special arrange
ments for entertainment will be made
for the Washingtonlans.
Indiana, Illinois, Delaware and Phil
adelphia delegations have already sent
orders for reservations. Delegations
from the various states desire to keep
together at the hotels.
During the coming week the finance
committee of the convention will make
its last call erl the citizens of Port
land for aid in carrying out the ar
rangements for the convention. Only
$3500 is needed to meet the estimated
whicu the committee has complied, sa'ys
the committee.
Easterners Seek Apple Land.
WEIEER. Iraho, May 22. A large party
of eastern capitalists, about 30 in number,
arrived here this morning over the Ore
gon Short Line, transferred with their
special cars to the Pacific &' Idaho
Northern to visit Council, in the north
ern part of the county, to inspect the
6000-acre apple orchard, the' largest in
the world, of the Council-Mesa Orchard
Company. They will spend three days
there. They expact to invest in apple
lands if conditions are satisfactory.

PARK BOARD IS FLAYED
FAILURE "TO PROVIDE TREE
PUBLIC BATHS CEXSURED.
L. Samuel Denounces City's Refusal
to Aid youth Who Would Swim.
Danger in River.
Failure by the city to provide free
public baths in "time for the opening
of the bathing season this year and
the decision on tne part of the Park
Board to locate the -baths only in the
larger parks of the city and not any
In the river, was the subject last night
of a heated denunciation of the plan
by L. Samuel, an insurance man, who
ror six years, with Edward Holman
maintained free public baths by their
own and money subscribed by the
public. - .
"I think It Is a shame," said Mr.
Samuel, "that more lives must be sac
rificed Just because the city is stingy
with its money, at least in this re
spect. Think of 10 lives being lost,
and all because a great and prosperous
city has not seen fit to expend a few
dollars In erecting and maintaining
tree baths.
"Under the plan as proposed by the
Park Board conditions will not be
changed. Boys will continue togo in
the river and as long as they do
drownings . surely will result. There
is one way to solve the problem and

City Parks Superintendent Mlsche says
they can't get bids from contractors

day that they do get bids."
Mr. Samuel's statement resulted from
the publication in The Oregonian yes
terday of a list of last season's bath

in which attention was called to the
probability of a lack of free public
baths this season.
Bridal Couples Sail on Elder.
Three newly-married couples made the
trip from California on the George W.

while Purser Smith admits that he was

to peep at the comet, he gave as an ex
cuse that he was not so much interested
in studying the inhabitants of the upper
realms as those who had so recently em
barked on their wedding trips. The
steamer called at Eureka en route north
and heavy winds between San Francisco
and that harbor, coupled with a delay In

WAY LOST l PORTLAND
COLONEL DOSCH GOES ASTRAY
IN HIS OWN CITY.
Building Progress in Two Years
Amazing Indian Story Illus
trates Incident.
Colonel Henry E. Dosch, who re
cently returned to his home in this city
after an absence ' of two years spent
in Seattle, where he was director of
the A.-Y.-P. Exposition, had the novel
experience a few "days ago of -actually
getting lost in the city where he has
spent the greater part of his life.
Changing of the old landmarks, with
which he was familiar, and the erec
tion of tall buildings in their stead
is given by Colonel Dosch as the rea
son for his losing his bearings In Port
land. Having occasion to go Into a store
at Fourth and Alder streets, Colonel
Dosch left it by way of a door on
Fourth street instead of by way of
the door on Alder street through which
he had entered.
"I wandered down Fourth street."
said Colonel Dosch yesterday, "absent
mindedly. Imagining that I was going
up Alder street, until I found that I
was among strange surroundings. . I
was in front of the Henry building,
and not until I reached Fifth and
Washington streets did I find familiar
buildings.
"This experience reminds me of the
story I heard about an Indian who
was found wandering about in a per
plexed way looking for his wigwam.
When asked if he was lost, he replied:
"'I'm not lost; the wigwam is lost." "

weeks ago, ex-Senator Fulton announced
to the Jury that Scrlber would not dis
pute that he had forged a large number
of notes which were used as collateral
and to cover the use of money by the
defendant In private enterprises.
Insanity Strong Point.
The lawyer rested his entire defense
on the plea that Scrlber was a para
noiac, imbued with the idea that a
conspiracy existed to destroy his bank
and that he had to keep it afloat by
any method which would raise money.
"I had the Idea." said Scrlber yes
terday, "that all my property was be
hind the bank, and that it was ample
to cover aiiy and all of the notes and
other transactions in which I was con
cerned. "During all the years that I was do
ing these things to keep the bank
oi-rn,. I suffered untold misery of mind
and body. The strain was so great at
times that I did not think I could live
through it. After Assistant District
Attorney Evans came to La Grande, I
thought it would be only a short time
until death would close my career, and
I told him that I wanted it to end that
way.
"I was a nervous wreck, and the last
three years of my business seem like a
dream. I can only recall incidents at
what occurred."
At the opening of the trial at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Attorney Fulton
