with headquarters at Omaha. It Is not
known whether ths Hariiman system
is latsrested in ths colonisation schsms
or not. but ths fact that ths land lies
along ths Oregon Short Una branch
to Vals and ths survey of ths pro

distance of ISO miles, gives color to
ths report that ths railroad la Inter

much as a sense of public spirit and
ths bank was established. Ths offi
cers and directors that were servtnsj
when the bank eloaed admitted today
that they were not familiar with ths
details of the banking business and for
that reason had entrusted ths general
management of the business to Evars.

the office of Representative In Con

seems certain that besides Represen
tative Hawley running for re-election
that Charles U McNary. of this city,
and Walter L. Dtralck. of Oregon City.
will be candidates against him.
Mr. McNary is a member of the law
firm of McNary McNary. He Is also

Mr. I'lmlrk hss been a member of
the Legislature for a number of terms

What 1-aues will be drawn by the
various candidates ta a little difficult
to determine Just at this time. Mr.
Hawley Is known to be strong with the

Mr. IMmick will allun themselves with
the progressive element, providing they

In addition to these three men prob
ably there will bo others In the rsre.

METOLIUS, Or, Nov. I. (Spsclal.)
The dsmonstratlon train party baa had
In many ways an eventful day. In ths
first place ths Interest at Culver and
Metolius has bsea phenomenal, some
thing almost beyond description, for
the "show-ms" spirit haa been aver
prominent. Secondly, there wsre au
tomobiles awaiting us at Culver to take
those who could be spared to various
points of lntersat. notably the celebrat
ed Opal Springs, and those who availed
themselves of tha opportunity, who had
never seen these marvelous works of
nature, are filled with snthuslssm and
loaded with opals.
Those who went out to see the whest
lands are just as much amsxed, so It
Is a happy party tonight- Then, after
the lectures, ws had a famous dinner
one long to be remembered at the Cul
ver House. The dinner was given by
the Culver Commercial Club. The
thanks of the party, are not only due
to that organisation, but to the hostess.
Mrs. W. P. Myers. A vote of thanks
was unsnlmously tendered Mrs. Meyers
for the splendid way shs served us.
Surely there ars 40 lass chickens In ths
Culver neighborhood than there were
this morning. Surely the Culver peo
pls are entitled to mors than a vote of
thanks for ths way they treated ua
At Metolius we were also given a
good reception by about every farmer
within driving distance, and nearly all
of tha cltlxens of ths town. In ths de
pot building was a fine lunch, free to
all. served by the Greater Metolius
flub, and who, pray, are the members'
Why, ths splendid women of Metolius.
Not to be outdone by the Commercial
Club, they have a club of their own,
and they served to all comers this
splendid lunch.
But after all Is said, the greatest
feature of ths meetings hss been the
Intsrest shown by those whom the trip
was planned to help. That Is ths main
reason why Dr. Wlthycombe and his
corps and R. B. Miller and his assocl
atss are now so Jubilant.
A word about tha towns ws have
visited yesterday and today. Bend,
Redmond. Culver and Metolius. They
ars all doing splendidly. Since I wss
here lsst May they have all Improved
wonderfully. Many fins brick blocks
have been built and business seems
good In all of them. At MetoJlus a
mile or more of cement sidewalks are
bslng laid and the little town Is taking
on city airs. There Is only one sulker
In the party. T. O. Llvsly. He has a
bet up that he will kiss 200 babies
every day. but be has lost. He kissed
Its todsy and then attempted to os
culate with a l-ysar-old girl, when
Mrs. Lively seised him by the off esr
snd he lost, and there Is trouble In
the Llvsly family.

agsinst the tescher. She also conferred
with Justice Olson, who endeavoreduo

gested that the teacher must have had
sums reason for doing as she did. a
thing Mrs. Tannler would not concede.
The story told by the Irate mother
and daughter was that Miss Stevens,
without provocation, dragged Rose
from her seat, seising her by the throat,
so that marks were left upon It, shook
her severely and expelled her from the
school. When ths child arrived at home
the marks were still visible, they said,
and they decided to appeal to the law.
They ascribe spite as ths enly motive,

OLD CONFRERE EULOGIZED
Aged Minister in Presiding at Obse

First Preacher Fulfills Prom
ise Made Decade Ago.
In fulfillment of a-pledge between
the two. both aged Methodist clergy
men, made ten years ago on the deck
of the river steamboat lone. Rev. John
FJlnn. D. D., yesterday afternoon con
ducted the funeral services of Rev.
Cliauncey O. Hosford at Lone Fir Cem
etery. There was more than one break In
the voice of "Father" Fllnn. who is 94
years old. as he told of his lifelong
friendship for his fellow minister,
whom he had known from the time he
took up a claim in Polk County In
1845, and throughout various vicissi
tudes of his life as farmer, traveling
preacher and pastor.
Rev. Mr. Hosford, who was sent to
Portland when there were exactly 14
wooden log cabins on the site of the
present city, to report on the situation
from the standpoint of a prospective
Methodist mission, under orders of Su
perintendent of Missions Roberts, of
California, and who visited and prayed
at that time with every resident of
the city, spent much of the later years
of his life traveling up and down the
Columbia. It was on one of these trips,
on which he was accompanied by his
friend. Rev. Mr. Fllnn, ,that the sub
ject of death was discussed.
Old Promise Kept.
"I don't know whether Ms. Hosford
suggested it to me or I suggested It
to him." said Rev. Mr. Flinn, discuss
ing the pact between the rav "but
one of us said to the other that when
he died he wanted the survivor to read
the last rites. So,' when he died, j I
naturally conducted his services. It
was the last and most solemn duty I
could perform for the man who was
my friend."
After Rev. C C. Rarlck had read from
The Oregonian of yesterday the ac
count of the life and death of Mr.
Hosford. Mr. Fllnn led the large num
ber present In prayer. He then told
of his knowledge of Rev. Mr. Hosford.
"I first met him." said "Father"
Fllnn, "at his claim on the other side
of the river from Salem. There he and
his wife had 640 acres. It was- shortly
thereafter that Elder Roberts wrote
him to visit the settlers at Portland, and
so Impressed was he with the religious
nature of the pioneers that he later
built the first church and delivered the
first sermon ever delivered In this city.
Departed Minister Enloglsed.
"Before that time, in addition to
working his claim, he was a traveling
preacher and circuit rider. Eventually,
he sold his land and traveled on many
different circuits. I have known him
as a God-fearing Christian man. as a
farmer, as a husbandman, as a faith
ful husband and father and as a min
ister since 1850."
Mr. Flinn now Is the sole survivor of
the first Oregon Methodist conference,
which waa organised In Salem In the
early "60s.

HOME CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM
Do not waste time nor take chances
of becoming a cripple or helpless
sufferer from Rheumatism by trying
to cure the disease with external ap
plications alone. Such treatment
sometimes gives 'relief from that
severe pain, or may reduce tha
inflammation of a swollen joint or
muscle, but the effect cannot be mora
than temporary. Each day the cause
is allowed to remain in the system.
Rheumatism gets a firmer hold on
Its victim. Purify your blood of tha
inflammatory uric acid and then you
will cure the disease permanently.
The system will respond more quickly
and surely to S. S. S. than any other
treatment. This great blood purifier
possesses the penetrating qualities
necessary to drive out every trace of
urate matter from the circulation and
build the blood up to a nourishing;
and healthful condition. Only pure
blood can overcome Rheumatism, and
S. S. S. surely creates pure blood.
Thousands have cured themselves oi
Rheumatism by using S. S. S., a
medicine made entirely of roots,
herbs and barks; no harmful mineral
enters into its composition, and
S. S. S. is therefore safe for any on
to use. Write for our book on Rheu
matism and ask for any special med
ical advice. No charge for either.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
