Cold well, for many years associated with
The Oregonlan. At that funeral Mr.
Scott waa asked to say a few words, and
the Invitation, though unexpected, led to
remarkable address, closing- with the
words of Shelley, quoted from memory.
The verses follow:
Through wood aad stream and flald and hill
and ocoaa
A quickening lite from the earth's heart
ha. burst.
'jlm it hath ever done with change and mo
tion
From the great morning of the word
when first
Cod dawned oa chaos; in Its stream lav
tneraed
The lamps of Heaven Sash with a softer
light:
JUl baser things part with life's
thlrat-
Dlffuae themselves, and spend is love's
detlght
The oeautr and the Joy of their isneetd
might. .
The eprova corpse touched by this spirit
tender
Exhales Itself In flowers of gentle breath:
Like Incarnations ol me stars wsea
nlendor
Is change to fragrance, they llhsmtnate
death
And mock the merry worm that wakes
henh
Nought we know dies; shall thst alone which
knows
Be as a sword consumed before the sheath
By slgatlesa lightning? ...
That light whose smile kindles the sal
ve -se.
That beauty In which all things work and
nioTe.
That benediction wnicn xne vcnpiini curve
Of birth can quench not. that sustaining Son
Which through tse web of being, blindly
By man and beast and earth and air
Pdmi bright or dim ss esch are mirrors ef
The are tor which all thirst; now beams
en him.
Consuming the last clouds of cold mor
tality. "The culminating emphasis of these
line- said Dr. Eliot "Is on the words:
Naught ws know diss; shall that which
knows
Ft as a sword consumed, before the sheath.
By sightless lightning -
"Containing, as tney ao. a prorouno.
staternent of the transcendental evidence
for man's Immortality."
Life Essentially Religious.
The speaker alluded to his friendship
of 0 years with Mr. Scott and. noting
he many tribute which have heen paid
to his great intellectual poweri and serv
ices to the city snd state, the co-opera
tion In work of philanthropy and educa
tion, be said that he felt moved to art
forth the basis of Mr. Scott's life snd
work ss having been essentially reli
gious and spiritually reinforced.
In a true sense hs was a prop net 01
God." said Dr. EUot. "wishing and will
ing to become a transmitter of messages
f the spirit, and to co-operate witn mo
creative forces of goodness, knowledge
and beauty, for the upbuilding of a noble
commonwealth of man.
"Though temperamentally a Protes
ant and dlssjnter. and a nonconformist
with prevailing creeds, he waa deeply re-
tglous at his center of oeing ana ot ac
tion: for true religion is not a conven-
lonal relation, but It la an attitude and
expectation of the whole nature of a
man. seeking light and life, and serving
forth that life and light as found, in un
vlflsh service. I think Mr. Scott's work
n Its Intended quality was of this kind,
ind permeated by moral and spiritual
implications"
Last Work for Education.
rr. Eliot referred to his last Interview
rlth Mr. Scott, when on his sick bed.
nd to his word of advice and sympathy
it that time for the great educational
twork of the Reed Institute. The trustees
t the fund left by Mrs. Reed frequently
onferred with him during the last few
hnonths, while the Important decisions
krere being made, aa to the scope and
haracter the work should take; and the
rorra It finally adopted met with his em-
hatlc approval, because a true college
ie felt, would be an uplifting power In
he community to lnnylre the love of
knowledge and Increase the efficiency of
tnen'a and women's lives.
The address concluded with an appeal
or the quality of spiritual aspiration as
restituting the worth of any and all
ffort. and as transmuting every human
ervlce into a divine co-operation, and
losed with words voicing the general
k-ympathy for Mr. Scott's household.
Following the reading of the verses
md Dr. Eliot's commentary on the life
nd character of Mr. Scott, the quartet,
om posed of Mrs. Rose Rloch Bauer,
oprano; Mrs. Rose Reed Hanscome.
ontralto: A. T. Samuels, tenor, and
Km J. Zan. baritone, with Carl Den
on. as accompanist, sang "Nearer. My
iod. to Thee." Dr. Kllot then closed
rie service with a short prayer.
Friends Throng fetreets.
Just ss the honorary pallbearers began
t'.tng by the bier for the last look st
rcelr associate In business and life, the
uneral strains of Chopin's funeral
-.arch, played by Frown's City Park
land, floated Into the room through

mn and Impressive. Slowly friends
noved by the casket and walked out of
Tim house and into the atreet to join
Me cortege that had already formed.
A crowd parked the streets at the
ntersection of Morrison and Twelfth

The funeral cortege and the Masonic

Masonry falling in double lines between

MOWMENT URGED IX HONOR
Joseph Bnchtel Knew Mr. Scott
When Both Were Boys
Joseph Bnchtel. a pioneer of 1S32. has
been a subscriber f The Oregonlan since
IssS, atartlng when it was published as
a weekly and taking the first Issue, of
ths dally to the present time. In speak
ing of the death of Mr. Scott yesterday,
Mr. Buchtel said:
"I first got acquainted with Mr. Scott
st Lafayette when he waa a boy, and
that acquaintance continued down to his
death. .Even now we can hardly un
derstand much less sppreclste the great
service he rendered ths Oregon country
and the United States. - Of course ws
can see some of the Immediate effects
of his formstlve force in the develop
ment of Oregon, but Mr. Scott was much
larger than the state. His battle for
the gold standard In Oregon waa one ot
the powers which held the Nation to the
principle of sound money.
"At the time of the birthday celebra
tion ot Ben Simpson in this city last
Winter. Mr. Scott. George H. William
Ben Simpson and myrvlf were sitting in
th bouse talking. I toiX Judge Williams
..' ni.Kg"ra.
V 4r51!'
I was nearly 80 years old. "Oh, you're a
mere kid compared to me In age.' Mr.
Scott spoke, 'WelL If Joe Is a kid then
so am I, for I am aeven years younger.'
All three havs passed away of that
gronp, but myself.
"To my mind Scott, 'Williams; Lincoln
and McLoughlln were all men of equal
greatneae but were men In a class by
themselves, each representing great
things. Bach was a builder, a doer of
things snd had a large part In the great
events of the century- Mr. Scott's atti
tude on all the great questions of the
day has been substantially correct as
has been shown In the outcome.
"His services to Oregotvjor more th
45 years csnnot be measured much less
understood. His death is a loss to every
Individual, to the state and to the Na
tion. A monument ought to be erected
In his memory at some prominent place
In the city. The dlewrtct In the South Bast
Side Is called Mount Scott after him,
and that will not permit his name to be
come dissociated from Portland, but- It
Is fitting that a noble shaft should be
erected on one of our public plazas in the
heart of the city he helped to build."

INTEREST IN OREGON DEER
Editor's Deeds Will Endure as Per
ennial Inspiration to People of
West, Says Dr. Dyott,' at First
Congregational Church.
Several of Portland's ministers eulog
ized the late Harvey W. Scott in their
sermons yesterday. Among them were
Dr. Luther R. Dyott. of the First Con
gregational Church, of w(jlch Mr. Scott
was at 'one time's member, and Rev.
Charles T. McPherson. of the Epworth
Methodist . Church, Twenty-sixth and
Savler streets, where memorial services
In honor of The Oregonlan'a editor, were
held last night. Mr. McPherson eaid in
part:
"What Mr. Scott was and what he did
constitute a legacy which no sound
hearted American can contemplate with
out emotions of gratitude and pride.
There is enough of Harvey W. Scott to
furnish a common ground upon which all
can unite to mingle their hearty trib
utes to ils memorj;. Ha jvas -a, man to

stand before him without knowing that
he stood in a majestic presence. uh

which they unite a severe simplicity of
... . j
style -with great warmtn 01 iaucjr

U. Qn.. Ilvail 1 On 9 AnniTBrh he did
enough ho did it so well, so success
fully, so nonoramy, as to connect Him
self for all time with the records of
his state. Death should not be regarded
as an evil. If so. It would not come alike
to all. Mr. Scott's death has many cir
cumstances of felicity and good fortune
about it. He died in the maturity of
his intellect, after a long public service,
and after having achieved a great name
for himoelf and a great memory lor mt
land of his adoption. He died,- too, con-
t .,. r.nrierfnT CTAwth and pros
perity of the land he himself helped to
make glorious."
R. C. J-ee also spOKe at tne meiuuiw
services at Epworth Church.
Dr. Dyott, at the morning service,
made sympathetic reference to the
relatives of Harvey W. Scott, in his
opening prayer, and in his sermon,
among other things, ha had this to say
about the life and character, work and
influence of Mr. Scott:
"Among the many who are paying
tribute to the memory of a great man
Mr. Harvey W. Scott rwe would mingle
with heart and voice and grateful ap
preciation. It would not add to his
greatness for anyone to enter into ex
travagant encomium. Neither would
such panegyric be in keeping with his
culture of mind and simplicity of taste.
But, on the other hand, a word of ap
preciation from this pulpit is In place,
for, at one time, Mr. Scott was a mem
ber of this church, having Joined by
letter from the First Congregational
Church, of Forest Grove, Or., on Jan
uary 7, 1867. Here he was drawn by
another great man. Dr. Atkinson, who
at that time was the popular pastor of
this church. Mr. Scott had the highest
regard for Dr. Atkinson.
"Furthermore, Mr. Scott's untiring
Interest tn our Pacific University
moves me to speak of him in connec
tion with this, his alma mater. Fact
is, he was interested in the welfare of
everything and everybody, especially
in this part of our country. His was
the unspeakable blessing in the heri
tage of a pioneer. Even his difficulties
contributed to his greatness, because
It was in him to be greater than any
thing that could happen to him. He
did much to make the newspaper which
remains a monument to his memory,
one of the' most influential of papers.
"I should say that in the best sense
of the word he was a religious man.
While In this respect he reserved the
birthright of his soul in the sover
eignty of character and volition, who
can tell of his communion with the Su
preme Architect at the mystic shrine
where God and his soul met? With

reference to his life work men are say
ing that no one can take his place. It
is not necessary for anyone else to try
to fill his' place, but others can fill
their places better because he filled
his so well. His monument in his work
will remain, and his influence will be
