concerned. It was the nrst Sunday

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-

an exceptional youtn ami i

EDUCATION DESIRE GREAT

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.
