"OLD-TIMERS" AT "PARTY'
Karl j- Pay of Oregon Recalled by
Sole SarTlvor of Famous 1813
Chanipnrf CoDTTntloB Which
Saved Stale to Vnlon. .
Reminiscences of Oregon's early days
and of th time when Portland co Delat
ed of a scattering of a few rode huta
on th chorea of the Willamette River
were recalled at the "birthday party"
(Ken yesterday to celebrate tha begin
ning of r. X. Matthleu's 4th year.
Tha affair took place at th bom of
th ploaeer'a eon. S. A. Matthieu. at IS1
'Eugene atreet. wher nuaieroaa friends
railed to pay their respect and to wtah
th reteran many more annlrerarle.
"1 am not celebrating my 3d birth
day." Mr. Matthieu wax particular
to explain. "I am celebrating th year
that l com Inc. No uae to celebrate for
anythlnr that already ha pad.
Aa he eat and talked with hi frlenda
be planned exten-ilvely for the tutur
with th aam deitre of confidence and
enthusiasm aa a man In th prim of
life. 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. Matthieu. a brother of
the reteran. who I" 71 year old; Cap
tain Thomas Xulltvaa Mountain, aged
: C. W. Bryant, aged 4: George H.
Hlmes. librarian of the Oregon His
torical Socoety: s-3ovemor tSeer and
members of th faml'y. W. J. Clarke,
wife and daughter, called In th aftr
nona. Christian Sloatn. also a pioneer,
paid hi respects early In th day.
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. Captain Moun

pedition of 141. and on that trip vis
ited Oovemor Abemathy In hi log
cabin at Haiem. Th party made th
first survey of the Willamette River
on this occasion.
S. C Matthieu has been a resident of
Oregon since 11 and took a prominent
part In the early-day history of the
state.

LOWPRIGESCOUTED
Local Meat Men Think Hogs
Will Not Be 4 Cents.
MOTIVES ARE IMPUGNED
D. O. 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

FIGHT IS WAGED IN DARK
Eight Arrested After Deputies Have
Sharp Combat With Belllg-
erentsWomen Seek Aid
at Kelly Bntte.
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.
