PASTOR POINTS OUT DUTY
Moral Problems of Cities Demand
Public's Attention.
"If Christianity is not big- enough to
save tha city it Is not big- enough to
eav the world," said Dr. Benjamin
Toung-, of Taylor-street Methodist
Church, st tha Methodist Ministerial
Association meeting- yesterday morning-.
"The Problems and Perplexities of th
City Pastor" was his them. Hs said,
in part:
"The corruption so prevalent today
leads us to wonder what the end will
be. Is ther an end? Read the message
of history. Decay of the great centers
in Rome presaged th destruction of
th empire. Our serious problems are
not foreign, but belong- to the Nation
ttaelf. and arise from tha conditions in
the congested centers of population, if
the cities are lax in morals the Nation
must go down.
"If Christianity falls, if it Is not able
to grapple with the problem of tha
city, dork and menacing- a that prob
lem la, it will not be able to save th
world. Christian men ought to give
attention to evangelism in the cities,
for the cities cannot bs saved unless
time, money and effort are spent. W
have not really grappled yet with th
situation in the American city. Th
more moral and cultured of the com
munity have a duty to perform which it
la dangerous to shirk. It is to be re
arretted that many men who have
trained brains sre spending them in
tha effort to acquire wealth, forgetting
th moral problems which 11 at the

State-Aid Measure Before Governor
Does Not Say Who Is to Get tho
Jlipliway Fund Four Acts
Are Left With Committee.
Becaus tha measure failed to provide
for supervision over the expenditure of
state money aet aside, and to whom the
money shMll be pnld for construction of
state-aided ronds. the Oregon Uood
Roads Aesoclatlnn last night practically
went on record as recommending to
Governor West that he veto tha $340,000
appropriation made by tha Legislature to
counties in support of good roads. The
Gmernor has until Friday to consider
the bill.
There was only a small sttendance at
the meeting last night In the Bock
building over which Dr. Andrew C
Smith presided. The four laws consid
ered were: State Highway Commission
law, the state-aid law, the bonding act
and the law for employment of county
snd city prisoners on tho public roads.
Of all the acts the one providing for the
State Highway Commission seemed to
meet with the most approval. President
Smith contended that the law is value
less because it takes away from the
State Highway Commissioner all author
ity and that "he exists only to s've
advice."
Webster Approves Bill.
Judge Webster said he regarded the
Highway Commission law aa the "best
piece of good roads legislation acquired
in the history of the state and one that
every member of the -good roads organi
sation would be proud of before the
coming two years had rolled by."
"I am free to say that the law Is not
as good as I would like it but it is ex
actly as the state association InJorsed
with one exception. That Is state-aid
roads receive only the services of the
State Highway Commissioner In an ad
visory capacity. Under the old bill he
had control of the expenditure of the
state money used In the construction uf
the roads. That would have been better
if we got it. But we could not. It was
an utter impossibility owing to tne
peculiar condition In the Legislature.
Good Result Expected.
"However I want to express to you
gentlemen my unqualified pleasure In the
fact that we have got a good roads law
which, in the end, will work to the good
of the state. The fact that the Highway
Commissioner has only advisory powers
Is not Dartlcularly objectionable for back
of it is the public sentiment which will
work wonders. I expect to see the
counties take advantage of the advice or
the State Commissioner snd begin build
ing roads right away. There exists to
day in the State of Oregon a very
strong sentiment for good roads. That
sentiment Is so strong and sp vigorous
that it will produce the right kind of
roads. Just the kind that we want. I
may be mistaken, but unless I read the
signs of the times incorrectly we are on
the way to good-road building. This
very sentiment will make It obligatory
for various road supervisors to build the
rlfrht kind of roada, permanent roads
which will be connected with some main
system and bring chaos out of our pres
ent situation."
Law Is Lacking;.
The law providing for an appropria
tion of 1310,000 is unique in that it pro
vides that I5U00 shall be expended by
the state treasury for every $5000 which
the county shall expend on its own ac
count. This Is to be for 1911 and a
similar amount for 1912. But In no
section of the act does it provide how
th money shall be drawn from tho
state treasury, nor does It provide for
whom the Secretary of State shall draw
the warrants for the road Supervisor,
the County Commissioner or the County
Judge. No provision Is made as to how
the money shall be expended.
Commissioner Is Limited.
The main objection to the bill creating
the Highway Commissioner is found In
section 6 in which it sets forth that
-such road if to be constructed under
the general advisory supervision of the
State Highway Commissioner." When
it comes to the appointment of engi
neers to supervise the work the State
Highway Commissioner must, "other
things being equal, give preference to
local men In making the sppolntments."
The law providing for the Issuance of
bonds for the construction of roads In
counties provides submission of the
question by special election and that tho
roads on which the money is to be ex
pended must be specified In the ballots
to be voted.
In the county-prisoners' act whl:h
provides for the use of county and city
prisoners on roada. several changes were
mad from the original bill introduced
by the association.
Laws Before Committee.
Upon a motion of John S. Beall all
the laws were referred to a special com
mittee of five to report Thursday at 1
o'clock In the afternoon In the Com
mercial Club parlors for the purpose of
determining their legality and their ef
fectiveness from the standpoint of the
Oregon State Good Roads Association.
Should the association determine to dis
approve the law appropriating $340,000
ror roads It will ask the Governor to
veto the bill. As It stands the associa
tion is a unit in favor of the veto. The
committee named to peruse the bills is
composed of W. C. Bristol. James Cole.

COUPLE MET IN PORTLAND
Daisy Davis, Mpthodlst Episcopal
3Iisslon Worker In Portland Five
Years Ago, to Marry For
mer Salem Chinese.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Feb. 20. (Spe
cial.) Daisy Davis, ZL years old and a
Methodist Episcopal worker In a mission
on First street in Portland five years
ago, today came to Vanoouver with
Harry Toy. or Toy Non, 24 years old, a
wealthy merchant of Port Angeles,
'Wash., and they secured a license to
marry. Ceclle M. Hlrch. also 21. was a
witness. The ceremony will be per
formed In a mission in Seattle 'Wednes
day afternoon at S o'clock by a regular
minister, Uiey said.
Before noon today Toy and a Govern
ment interpreter at Port Angeles, with
the two women, arrived from Portland
and found Henry Crass, an attorney,
whom they retained in case his services
were necessary. ,
Toy Once Lived In Salem.
When asked where she first met Toy,
Miss Davis said it was when she was
assisting in teaching the Chinese boys
In a Methodist Episcopal mission in
Portland five years ago. Toy is the son
of a Chinese druggist, who formerly
lived In Salem, Or. He came to America
10 years ago and has his necessary papers
with him.
Toy is a member of the Methodist
Church, he says, and he acts as Govern
ment interpreter when he is needed at
Port Angeles.
When questioned Miss Davis said:
"There are quite a number of white
girls getting married to men from China,
and I do not see why they should not.
I have known Harry for five years and
he has never spoken a cross word to me
in all that time. My trousseau is being
made in Seattle and won't be done till
I get back. The wedding is set for
Wednesday and the arrangements are
being looked after by Harry's friends.
You know the Chinese won't let you
furnish your own house. They furnish
it for you.
"Yes, I like Harry real well. I saw
In the paper about one woman who mar
ried a Chinaman not long ago, but I
think she married for money. It is not
so In my case."
When it was suggested that Harry Toy
was wealthy, she continued: "Yes, that
is so, too. I never will want for any
thing, and besides I haven't always been
very well, and if I get sick I know I
will have the best of care and nothing to
worry me."
Jewels Cost High Figure.
Blie said her jewels and trousseau cost
Harry 1110. "They gave us a big ban
quet in Portland last night. Some of
them did not go to bed till 6 o'clock
this morning, but I knew I had to come
over here early so I retired early with
my maid.
"I tell you one thing," said Miss Davis,
"the newspapers say that that Emery
girl, who married that Jap, are separated
and do not get along very well, but that
is not true. I have been living in Seattle
not very far from where they live, and
they are getting along fine. And they
have the sweetest little baby girl. I
don't think it is right for the papers to
say they are not living together when
they are."
Miss Davis has lived in ' Iowa, went
west, to San Francisco, and said she
came up from there recently and again
met Tov at a Chinese New Year's cele
bration in Portland,
rled once before.
She has been mar-

In the case of Clarence D. Hillman. the
millionaire townsite promoter, on trial
in the Federal Court on a charge of
using the mails to defraud, continued
the introduction of evidence to show
that purchasers of property in Birm

Fred Rameau, a waiter of Tacoma,
said he bought a lot in Birmingham for
$500. He waa so well pleased with
his Investment that he wrote to his
brother in France urging him to buy
some property from Hillman.
Many of the witnesses who testified
that they were pleased with Hlllman's
methods and their Investments in his
projects were women who had used
their savings to buy homesites in

HEARING RESTORED
Retired Railroad Conductor Has Some,
thing to Say to People Who
Cannot Hear Well.
Ringing noises in the ears is good
proof that catarrh is going to affect
your hearing. Here is the proof that
HTOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) will
do more than advertised.
"During- the Fall of 1309 I found it
necessary to consult two lopal special
ists for a catarrhal affection that
caused me considerable annoyance and
which finally developed Into a serious
trouble in my ears resulting In deaf
ness, with almost continual buzzing in
ears. Despairing of receiving bene
fit or relief from the physicians, I de
termined to try the HYOMEI which I
had seen advertised. I used this very
thoroughly for several weeks with most
gratifying results, all Inflammation,
soreness and buzzing being overcome
with an entire restoration of my hear
ing and general benefit to nasaj and
throat troubles. I have no hesitancy
in recommencing this remedy to all
who are Mmi'arly afflicted with
catarrhal troubles." F. C. Vananman,
Retired Conductor, BInghamton, N. Y..
March 22. 1910.
