LIFE SPENT IN TOIL Mr. Scott's Career Noteworthy for Obstacles Overcome. EDUCATION HARD-EARNED Journey Across Plains Made When Boy of 14, and Youthful Days Devoted to Reclaiming Wilds. His Work as Editor. In the year 1853 there tolled into Yamhill County over the rough road, of early Oregon a prairie schooner drawn by oxen and driven by John Tucker Scott, an Illinois farmer. In the long trip across the plains, each mile of whlcL had been marked by hardships, the mother of the fam ily. Anne Roleofson Scott, and one of the children, a boy of 4 years, had suc cumbed to the privation, of the Jour ney. In the family of several children was one. a stalwart boy. 14 yesrs old. Har vey W. Scott, whose name was' destined to become irrevocably attached to all In Oregon that in practically a half century of time would have a bearing on Western progress, stability and right living. Work Begun With Empty Hands. Coming to Oregon with empty hands, and a knowledge only of hard work and of such books as are taught in a dis trict .chool. this youth plunged Into the work of reducing a wilderness to a human habitation, gained the rudi ments of an education by application In leisure hours, worked Jils way through a pioneer university, cast his lot with a struggling newspaper, and created an editorial standard that ranked with that of the greatest Journals of the Harvey W. Scott remained with hi. father In Yamhill County during the brief period that the father mat e that locality his home, wnen tne emr own to what is now Mason County, Washing ton, m 1853. his son Harvey accom panied him and aided him In the vicis .i,ri nf farm work in the West. Something like four years were .pent In this arduous toll, broken for a time by service with the white, during the Indian Insurrection of 1855 and 1856. It was in 18S7 that Harvey W. Scott ht.nniiuii to add to the store or Knowl edge intermittently gained In the Puget Sound country. In those days the means r mnininnlcatloti with the country south of the Columbia River were meager, but the young man heard of the then small university at Forest Grove. Mr. Scott determined to enter this university. Once to reach Forest Grove he walked over Isnd from Puget' Sound, swimming the streams that crossed the trail and carry ing on his bsck a heavy pacic Savings accumulated during the Sum mmthi in teaching school or work tng on farm, paid for his schooling In the Winter month, end he was finally graduated from the University in laoa, twin the first alumnus of the Institution. Tha vear following was spent In Ida ho, but again he feit the call of Oregon and returned to Portland to become. In 184. the first librarian of the Portland Library Association. In 1865 Mr. Scott succeeded Samuel A. Clarke as editor of The Oregonlan. which was then under the sole control of Henry L. Plttock. Mr. Scott a-ave The Oregonlan his continuous editorial attention until October, 1872, when he was appointed Collector of Customs for the Port of Portland, which position he retained for five years. During that interval there was a partial change of ownership in The Oregonlan. Mr. Plttock had sold a con trolling Interest to W. Lair Hill, who took editorial charge, and H. w. cor bett and others. In March, 1877, Mr. Scott bought the interest that had been sold to Mr. Corbett, and Mr. Plttock and Mr. Scott together bought the stock that had been sold to others and Mr. Scott resumed editorial charge, During the subsequent 38 years of continuous service as editor of The Oregonlan, Mr. Scott took an active part In political and civic affairs in Portland and Oregon, aside from the discussions In The Oregonlan of which be was the author. In 188S he was the temporary secre tary of the state convention of the Union party, and at numerous times In the following subsequent years he was an active participant as delegate in the Republican party conventions in ure gon. In 1876 he was a delegate to the Republican National convention, held at Cincinnati, and which nominated Rutherford B. Hayes for President of the United States. In 1886 Mr. Scott was a delegate to the memorable Republican National convention which nominated James A. Garfield. At the time of his death Mr. Scott was a trustee of the Pacific University at Forest Grove, of which he was the first graduate. He had been a member of the Portland Water Board and always took great pride In Port land', water system. He was also a member of the State Text Book Com mission, . which chose the text books for the schools of the state. In 1904 Mr. Scott was elected presi dent of the Lewis and Clark Fair Asso ciation, but declined re-election in 1905, when he was succeeded by H. W. Ooode. Mr. Scott was a member of the char ter board, which drafted the present charter of the City of Portland. He wa. a member of the Arlington Club and of the Portland Commercial Club. ' b Service Organized. When the old Associated Press dis solved 12 years ago Mr. Scott took an active- part In Its reorganization and Jt was largely tnrougn nis suggestion that the Associated Press wa. reor ganized on the present co-operative basis. Upon reorganisation of the as sociation, he was elected a director ana continued in office until the time of his death, making annual trip, to the meet- in as of the board. In hi. career as editor of The Ore- a-onlan. observers look upon his mas terful grasp of the monetary question as depicted in the editorial columns of The Oregonlan during the free sliver agitation as one of his most note worthy works. He fearlessly and vig orously opposed what was then the prevailing sentiment In this community and dally presented strong arguments in favor of the gold atanaaro. wnicu undoubtedly formed the prime influence In making Oregon the only state in the West to cast its voto for William Me Klnley for President of the United States. Mr. Scott was a constant and omnivor ous reader of newspapers and ever dis played a keen Interest In studying all sides of an issue before forming his own conclusions. Advancing age ana even Illness did not Impair his mental vigor. Up to the time of the severe stage of his last illness, the editorial page of The Oregonlan was under his close .personal direction. Hardly an Issue failed" to con tain one or more articles contributed by him. He suggested topics for other members of the editorial staff to discuss and guided the editorial policy of the paper In all Its phases. His nersonal labor, were of unusual magnitude. On the streets between The Oregonlan building and the family home, at Twelfth and Morrison streets, which Vf- cnt harf nnnmleri since 1869. his was an ever familiar figure. In the edi torial offices or The uregonian ue was almost Invariably to be found during every afternoon and until 10 o'clock or later at night, while on special' occasions, such as election nights, he remained much later. In every sense jar. ocott was editor of The Oregonlan until his death. Oregon Uppermost in Mind. Th develoDment of all of Oregon was ever uppermost in the mind of Mr. Scott. To him will be given mucn ot tne creaii. for the final opening of Central Oregon to railway transportation. During the recent tour through the Interior of the state. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad, said in numer ous addresses that the attention ot the Hill Interests had been finally attracted to the opportunities for railway develop ment in this state by the efforts of Mr. Scott. Frequent references to the isola tion of the dlatrlco seen in tne editorial columns of The Oregonlan had first at tracted the attention of James J. Hill and these led to consultations on the subject with Mr. Scott. President Hill gave to Mr. Scott by name a large share of the credit for the opening ot Interior Oregon. At commencement exercises neia at the university in Salem not long ago, an intimate associate of Mr. Scott in an address to the graduating class gave the following insight into his characteristics and personalities: T have In mind tne struggles one young man endured in this Pacific Northwest 50 years ago to get himself an education. He lived near Olympla on Puget Sound. It was a wild country; settlements were far apart. There were few chools none worth the name, ex cent at Forest Grove where there was an academy with the Imposing title ot Pacific University. This young man was born In Illinois in 1838. At the age of 14 he came across the plains with his father's family and settled In the wilder ness of the Oregon country. In the win ter he attended for a few months a noorlv eaulpped school. But for most of the time the boy, giant in frame and muscle, did a men's work with axe ana plow. At night, when he could, he read the few books within, his reach. His father, though a pioneer, was a man of vigorous mental make-up and no little reading. . But he did not need to tell his son the names ot the best books, for the son knew intuitively. Some where he got hold of Milton's 'Paradise Lost.' He not only read it again and axaln. but he committed It. It will per. haps astound you to hear irom me tnat today, after more than a Half century, If you qoute to this man one line any where from that Immortal poem, be will take up the next from memory and go on Indefinitely. Service Against Indians Seen. "At the age et 17 he enlisted as a pri vate in Colonel Shaw's Militia Company and fought Indians, and fought them well, in the bloody outbreak of 1855 and 1857. The war over, the young pioneer determined to enter Pacific University. He got together his few books and fewer clothes.' put them on his DacK ana started for Forest Grove, walking. He walked th. entire distance over the poor roads and rough trails of that earlv day, swimming more man one stream, and aomenow getting across tne Columbia near Kalama and again over tbe Willamette at Portland. His first destination was the home of some rela tives In Clackamas County. On the last day of his Journey he trudged 50 miles with his heavy pack on nis dsck, pass ing through the straggling village - of Portland without stopping. He entered the Academy and he paid his own way. He worked in sawmuis, laugni scnooi, chopped wood, helped on farms, employ inz his spare hours In reading history the Bible and Shakespeare and ' at 2S received his diploma as the first gradu ate of Pacific University. ' Two rears thereafter, while serving as librarian in the Portland Library he was engaged as an editorial writer on The Oregonian. His first notable work was an editorial on the assassination of President Lin coln. This man Is now editor of The Oregonian, as he has been for more than 40 years, and his name is Harvey W. Scott. All his life he has been a stu dent. He has sought knowledge from every source. He knows history and theology and literature as few men know them. Very much of his deep and varied store of knowledge Is daily given to his readers. This is his life's labor. He Is yet in vigorous health after 60 years of Incessant toil, toil that has. Indeed, been both a daily pleasure end a necessity to htm and at the age of 70 he seems to have many years ot useful work ahead of him. His Opportunities Made. "I have used Mr. Scott's remarkable career only as an Illustration of the great tilings that may be done not only by seizing opportunities but by making them. Whether he could have done more If he had been given the ad- . . v. . vn.. h.v. t will not ven- ture to say; probably not, for he was an exceptional youtn ami i tlonal man.

EDUCATION DESIRE GREAT In 1857 Young Man Walks From Olympla, Wash., to Forest Grove to Seek Learning, Paving Way for Future Life Labors. BY W. M. PERBIN, PRESIDENT OF PACIFIC L.1V.KI1I. . cial.) Mr. Scott came to Forest Grove to study at Facine Lniversny m walking the entire distance from his home near Olympla, Wash. After a few months of study he was compelled which to support himself. In 1859 his father removed to uresuu mm - Mi o fndt nf Gale's Peak. three miles west of Forest Grove, and young Scott entered upon a iuu lege course. Most of the money to meet the ex pense of his education was earned by hard manual labor on the farms In the neighborhood. On his father's place was a sawmill, and Mr. Scott worked there when not employed elsewhere He was an expert axman as were all the young men of pioneer times and he did a good deal of work In clearing the forest about Forest Grove. Among the men who employed him largely in this way was the late Thomas G. Naylor. . A few years ago in company with T H Tongue he pointed out stumps of huge trees on the Naylor claim which he and Mr. Tongue had cut down together while students at the Uni versity. . Mr. Scott Fond of Classics. In those primitive days there was little organization in the school and much of the time Mr. Scott was in a class by himself. The teachers under whom he studied were chiefly Presi dent S. H. Marsh and Professor Horace Lvman. pioneer educators of the North' west. He was fond of classics and read in the original about all the Latin and Greek authors he could find. In a recent address before the stu dents of Pacific University he said he supposed he read much more of the standard ancient classics than was read in the colleges today. He said that some times he came Into Pro fessor Lyman's class prepared to read so much that he was almost ashamed to ask the teacher to hear It. Instead of three or four books of Virgil or the Illiad or the Odyssey, which the average student reads in these days he read them- entire. Mr Scott was a strong student, xie enriched his mind with the best that he could find. 4 -Bible and Burke ' Favorites'. He preserved a general familiarity with the ancient classics throughout his life and was able to quote from them with remarkable readiness. Un doubtedly his great literary ability owed no small debt to his classical study At a college banquet not long ago he was asked what books in Eng lish which he had read, he counted most helpful In creating his literary style He answered promptly: The speeches of Edwin Burke and the prophecies of Jeremiah and Isaiah in the-pld testament." ForSibout ten years Mr. Scott was a trustee of Pacific University and dur ing the last four years he was presi dent of the board. During his recent illness he wrote me a letter, express ing his Interest and his regret that he would not De aow w -...... portant meeting of the trustees. His advice was always considered in the deliberations of "the university board and he was ready with his moral support and financial aid in any proj ect for its advancement. He will be greatly missed. POSTAL DEFICIT IS CUT Reduction Is Traced to Improved Methods of Handling Business. WASHINGTON. Aug. . In a state ment today detailing the reduction of $11,600,000 last year in the postal de ficit. Postmaster-General Hitchcock shows that 12.900.000 of the sum rep resents economies in postofflce man QUARTE O. A. agement and nearly tl.000.000 in a more business like handling of the city delivery service. While this service was extended during the year, the re forms Introduced cut down the general cost. . ,, . Reorganization without curtailment of the rural delivery service was re sponsible for a saving of $1,900,000 and a reduction of $900,000 was credited to the Star Route service, including mis cellaneous transportation of mail other than on railways. ' ' The combined savings in the cost of handling the mails in postofflces and other branches of the service except ing railroad transportation was $6,500, 000, and the amount of deficiency re duction traceable to the railway mall service was $5.450,000.
