He raet a prophetic eye Into th years that are yet to come and saw a much larger city trow up In place of the present-day Portland and a rapid development of th state. "Portland was not much when I came here." he remarked, "only thre houses east of th river and nut many more on th other side. But th town today speak for Itself. It has grown much sine those early days, but It will (row atlll more. Oregon to Share Growth. "Oregon, too. will share In this de velopment, as It must If Portland la to Krow. and I believe that my children will ilv to tle day when Oregon will b th greatest stste In th I'nlon." Th "party" was somewhat In the nature of a reception which continued throughout th day and the early part of the evening, having it climax In th luncheon aerved at o'clock by Mrs. Matthieu. A birthday cak was one of th principal Itema on tu menu. Among thoa who were guests at th table wer 8. C.

Mr. Matthlen la well known In Ore gon as th sol survivor of the con- j vent Ion of May :. 1S43. at Champoeg. which stood to make the Oregon coun try part of the United Statex. He was born In Canada and came to Ore gon In 1S4I. being a continuous resi dent of the state from that time. I'ntll a few years ago lie lived on his farm pear ButtevlHe. During his residence In th state he h successfully en gaged In mercantile as well as agri cultural pursuits. Pioneer's Part Iramatlc. Mr. Matthleu's part In the famous meetlntr at Champoep was somewhat dramatic. The new convention was made up of'102 pernons. and It required 51 votes to decide tie questlog.of eetab lielung civil government In the terri tory. On first motions but 30 voted In favor of It. Finally two others swung over to the side of the Union, and out of this movement Oregon became a part of th United States. Those two men were Ktlenne Lucler and K. X. Matthieu. and It wa through the persuasion of the latter that the other man agreed to vote with the supporters of the Gov ernment. Ktlenne died about ten years later. All the others who composed that convention have passed away. Mr. Matthieu alone aurvivrs. Some of his guests yeatrrdar alao have played important parts. In the de velopment of th state.

Lively CalU Attention to Fact That Patrick Oudahjr I Heavy Livestock Speculator Local Market Held Promising. The announcement coming from Pat rick Cudahy. the Omaha meatpacker. that pork prices will drop to 4 cents a pound before the endtif the year, has caused Portland meatpackers to ques tion th cause of such a prediction. That the reasons given by Cudahy for a general slump In packing products are based upon flimsy conjectures la the belief of local meatmen. In re gard to conditions on the Pacific Coast ther will be little change from pres ent prices, they say. and in the East ern Statea there will be no warrant for such a pronounced reduction In prices. "It is a well-known fact that Cudahy is a speeulator and he has made and lost large sums of money by speculat ing." said D. O. Lively, of the Union Stock Yards, yesterday. "His predic tion that hogs will be selling as low as 4 cents in December la given out for a purpose and no one who is well In formed on the conditions of the market will take any stock. In such a state ment. . "I do not look- for much of a change In hog prices In the Northwest this year. If the Chicago and umana pacx ers will attempt to force down the prices. I do not believe we will feel the effect much here. The farmers in Oregon and Washington should have a very satisfactory year In hog raising. "Within the next two years. I be lieve that the production of pork in the two states will Increase at a great rate and we will have reached a point In our progress that we will be ship ping pork east instead of bringing the product out here for consumption. In the past six months 60 carloads of brood sows have been imported to this territory. That means that 2500 brood sows will be bearing pigs for Oregon and Washington farmers before the end of the year. If these sows produce four pigs each, on an average, we will have 10.000 head in addition to the reg ular supply for the market next Win ter and Spring. The people of tile Northwest are awakening to the Im portance of the hog Industry and It will not be long until they will be able to supply other parts of the United States with pork, with a substantial profit to themselves." C. C. Colt and O. M. Plummer. of Portland, are also of the opinion that the price of hogs will remain firm and they predict a good year for the hog DANCEEND5 N RIOT In Brawl at Lents Fists and Beer Bottles Are UseaV OEXGOlf CT.05EEB3 VISIT SOLE SUKVIVOB OF CHAMPOEO CONTENTIOK Oil HIS NINETY- THTJU) BIRTHDAY. v rife- 4 fi BBT11T, M CL .

Lent was terrorized early yesterday morning by a series of free-for-all fights that started at an all-night dance about 2:30 A. M.. and ended at the electric railway station an hour later when a posse of deputy seriffs that hastened to the scene In an auto mobile, routed the brawling belliger ents and arrested six of the leaders. There was no ehooting or knifing, but scores of bloody noses, black eyes, bruised faces and lacerated scalps told the story of the fight that had been waged with fists, beer bottles and other handy missiles. While 150 people were in the dance hall the fight started. Lights- went out and there was wild slugging In the dark. Constable J. Hall and Deputy Sheriff E. L. Raber were called, but the situation was beyond their control. A message was sent to the Sheriffs office for assitance, and Hall and Raber arrested two of the leaders. While waiting for help a member of the gang slipped up behind Raber and dealt him a blow on the head that sent him reeling and caused him to relin auisli hold of the prisoner. The man escaped. Deputies Rush to Scene. Most of the belligerent crowd left the dark hall and assembled on the plat form of the electric railway statlpn to await the- first train Into the city. An other flsrht started. Blows were being struck right and left when an automobile bearing Deputy Sheriffs Harry Bulger, A. J. Saulisbury. Bob Phillips and A. L. French dashed up and the fighters ran. The officers captured R. E. Smith, Al bert Budwell, E. E. Smith, Charles Smith. Anton Wagner and Vernon Brlstow. They were sent to the County Jail, and an hour later R. E. Oivans and C. J. Strickland were arrested. One woman was sent to the jail with these two prisoners to be held as a witness. While these fights were in progress an automobile carrying 15 drunken men and women who had been taking in roadhouses, broke down in front of the schoolhouse. and the occupants added to the uproar with loud curses and defiance hurled at citizens who pro tested. Rocks Hurled at Women. Two young women who slipped out of the dance hall when the fight tarted and tried to make their way home, were set upon by two young men. The women ran all the way to Kelly Butte rockpile to escape their assailants and remained under protection of the offi cers there till morning, when they went home. Incidental to the free-for-all slug ging the street lights were extin guished and the town was in darkness. Beer bottles and missiles hurled in the dark missed their sillhouted targets and crashed through windows, the breking glass adding to the din that had the whole town in an uproar, one man who was knocked out remained unconscious ten minutes, and it was thought he had been killed.- The eight prisoners will be taken to Lents this morning and arraigned be fore Justice Tobin. A charge of dis orderly conduct and perhaps rioting may be placed against them. RAILWAY MEN MAY JOIN Movement Begun in Oregon to Af filiate With Vnlon Labor. Leaders of organized labor report that "encouraging progress is being made in the movement to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor in this state the various organizations of railroad employes. It is estimated that there are in the state about 7000 organized railroad em ployes. The present membership of the Federation of Labor in Oregon approxi mates 14,000. The consolidation of these two forces of organized labor would effect a strong organization. The plan for effecting an affiliation by the railroad employes with the Fed eration of Labor was taken up several weeks ago. The proposal has been fa vorAbly received by several of the or ganizations of railroad men and is un der consideration by others. Organized labor has made much overtures to the trainmen, engineers and firemen and there is a possibility that the Order of Railway Conductors in this state will also conclude to become directly identi fied with the State Federation.
