In the opening address by giving briefly
a narrative of hla e.irly expenencea In
Oregon, and of the great a-rowth he has
seen In the city since that time. Theo
dore B. "Wilcox and Charles K. Henry
followed. Mr. Wilcox saving the plan
years ago. following the explorations
of Lewis and Clark, was to build a
railroad to the Northwest to open up
the timber, but that the discovery of

direction for a time.

Speaking of the building of the North
Bank Railroad and of the feeder Into
Central Oregon, he remarked that be
hoped when Central Oregon la a little
more fully developed to be able to build
another hotel as large and rood aa
the Multnomah. "We have only reached
the threshold of Oregon." he said.
Mr. Henry criticised the building: In
spector, who la said at the time he was
negotiating for the construction of the
conorete warehouse on East Morrison
street, held him up for three solid
weeks, before a permit could be ob
tained. "You have to teach your pub
lic servants here to have a little ordi
nary business sense among practical
business men." he said, amid loud ap
plause. He said Colonel Butterworth
and Colonel tVyman wanted to drop the
Portland building project when they
failed to get the building permit, but
that he held on. and at last succeeded
in obtaining It. Aa to the Multnomah
Hotel, he said the construction com
pany started work on February 15, last
year, and that last Thursday the build

Philip Gevurtx acted as toaatmaster.
He aald the management hoped to make
the entire hotel an Arcadian garden,
where care can be forgotten. He In
troduced Mr. Plttoek as Oregon's grand
eld man. Following Mr. Plttock'a ad
dress, he was applauded -with three
rousing cheers. Mr. Plttoek said:
"I believe there is not a person here
in the room tonight who was here In
the early 60s. or perhaps In the 40a. who
waa doing business at that time, with
the exception of myself. It may there
fore Le ofsome Interest to you to know
how I found this city and atate when I
arrived, after having assisted In driving
the ox team across the plains.
"It was something over bi years ago
that I crossed the plains. I waa just
a boy. I arrived in Oregon City about
IV to be r 13. and tried hard to find em
plorrr.ent there. Falling, I came down
to Mtlwaukle. and there helped to terry
our goods across the Willamette River
tn our wagon beds, going with those
who took up claims In the southern
part of -Multnomah County. There I

Roads la Early Days.
"There were then no roads, and I
traveled afoot over the slopes of what
:s now lavervlew Cemetery, until I
arrived at Torn Stevens' place and
there found the Oral semblance of a
road. My first view of the town waa
or a little struggling village, tbe busi
ness establishments along Front street,
from where Jefferson street now Is to
about uak street. There were a few
residences on First street.
"It was Winter. There were a few
sldeawalka tn places. On Front street
I saw teams mired hub deep. This
waa Portland. It bad from 1000 to
150 Inhabitants.
"Two weekly papers were then pub
lished here. The Oresronlan and the
Times. I sought employment, but
failed to fnd It. The Immigration
waa then furnishing more labor than
the town could furnish work for. So
I went back to the cabin, and every
few days would return to the Tillage
looking for work. At last I found a
position In The Oregonlan. receiving
my board and clothing for the work I
did.
"At that time there was a little boat
running to Oregon City, called the
Eagle, and another small boat made
trips to Astoria. It took a week to
make the trip. A boat ran to the
Cascades, but there was no portage
there.
Early Grewik Mw.
"The town didn't grow roach for
years. About that time the Oregon
Steamship c Navigation Company
started a line of boata up the Columbia.
There waa also a line of boats up the
Willamette a little later. The way to
reach the valley was by steamship. In
the Winter time there were no roads
to travel. This waa before the Can
yon road was built, when the road to
Washington County went as far as the
hills.
"The city didn't grow until the mlnea
of Idaho, In the 60s, began to trade a
little up tn the Eastern country. But
as business was not brisk, and In the

Winter trade was at a standstill.

Ice. and do our work at night. Then
the railway came In from the East.
Business grew steadily, but It was not
until the time of the World's Fair In
Portland that the heavier growth set
In. From that time, the city has
Jumped forward with great strides.
"This was the city in which I grew
tip. There was a Chinese quarter, and
not until 1890 did the residence and
business districts Jump over the Chi
nese quarter and start building the
city to the West.
Greater Growth Seem.
"This much for the pst. Now look

years behind me. I say that at the end
of the next 60 years, with the railroads

the Canadian border, with the pros

every land of the globe am I too op

PATRIARCH TELLS HISTORY
Joseph Gaston, 79, Gives Aeconnt of
Pioneer Railway Building.
Joseph Gaston, pioneer railroad pro
moter of Oregon, was a witness In the
Federal Court yesterday in the Govern
ment land grant forfeiture suit against
the Southern Pacific Company and Its
predecessors. His testimony has only
an Indirect bearing on the main fact
In controversy and was largely of an
historical character, as he had passed
from active participation In the man
agement of the properties before the
alleged frauds were committed.
Mr. Gaston's testimony started at 19
o'clock yesterday morning and with
Intermissions for lunch and dinner,
continued until after 10 o'clock at
night. Mr. Gaston la verging on his
80th year, but retains his mental vig
or, remembering Incidents and figures
that came to his attention nearly SO
years ago. He was born In Ohio In
1833. he testified, and after reaching
his 2th year waa admitted to the bar
and came to Jacksonville, Oregon, In
1863, where he practiced law and edited
the Jacksonville Sentinel.
In the year he arrived at Jackson
ville surveyors were running a line
for a prospective railroad between Cal
ifornia and the Columbia River.
The surveyors were stranded and
asked Mr. Gaston for assistance and
he became interested In their plana to
such an extent that he obtained sub
sistence for them during the Winter.
In giving this part of his testimony
he said Michael Hanley, father of
"Colonel Bill" Hanley, of Harney Coun
ty, put up almost all the money to care
for the stranded surveyors.
This led Mr. Gaston to become a
railroad promoter and he organized
the Oregon Central Railroad, which
was -Ihe parent road of the state, al
though the California surveyors had
called their project the California &
Columbia ' River Railroad. He had
little difficulty In Interesting the lead
ing capitalists of the state, he said,
and Congress made a liberal land grant
to assist the enterprise. He presented
the articles of Incorporation to Secre
tary of State May October 6. 1868.
Secretary May made on them a nota
tion of filing and then returned them
to hlra to clroulate among the mem
bers of the Legislature, which was
then In session. The Legislature In
dorsed the project and Mr. Gaston re
turned the articles to the Secretary of
State November 21. Then he discov
ered, bo said, that articles of incorpor
ation of the Oregon Central Railroad
had been filed four days before by I.
R. Moores. private secretary to Gover
nor Woods and Aslstant Secretary of
State, who had been a party to the
Incorporation papers of Mr. Gaston's
Oregon Central Railroad.
These two companies of the same
name started litigation that lasted for
several years and caused complications
in the Government land grant that
have not been fully settled to this day.
The history of the lines has little
bearing on the actual subjects In con
troversy, as the Government demands
the forfeiture of about 2,400,000 acres
of the land grant, alleging that the
land has not been handled In accord
ance with the terms of the gTant, parts
of It having been sold to persons who
were not aotual settlers In extent
greater than provided and at prices
greater than agreed upon.
The testimony Is being taken before
Miss Margaret E. Fleming, special ex
aminer appointed by the court, the
Government being represented by B. D.
Townsend and T. J. Butler, special as
sistants of the Attorney-General, while
the defendant company Is represented
by W. D.' Fenton, J. B. Kerr and J. N.
Dolph. After Mr. Gaston has finished,
the taking of testimony will be con
cluded for the present, except for the
Introduction of records.
"ARREST" SCARES PASTOR
Dr. Benjamin Yonng Victim of Joke
by Friends on Birthday.
Arrested and told by the policeman
that his ball was 81000, Rev. Benjamin
Young, pastor of the Taylor-Street
Methodist Church, passed a bad half
hour at the celebration of his 44th
birthday anniversary recently, the
story of which is being told now.
Dr. Young, who had been making a
speech at a church in Vancouver,
Wash, arrived home to find Patrolman
Porter, waiting for him in the parlor.
"I am sorry." said the patrolman, "but
I must warn you that you are under
arrest." A warrant. In due form, was
read to the astonished minister after
which the policeman told him that his
bail would be 11000 and he had better
"get busy" telephoning, unless he
wished the wagon to be sent to his
home to convey him to the City Jail.
The minister was not able to reach
his friends on the telephone and was
about to ask the patrolman to call the
patrol wagon, when a snicker from
friends gathered In sun adjoining room
told him of the hoax.
A party of church members of bis
congregation had taken this way of
surprising their pastor. Following his
"arrest" Dr. Young was tried and con
victed. Attorney William A. Carter be

NEED IS NOT RECOGNIZED
Steel Corporation Head Says Evi
dence "Was Thought Useless) When
Indictments Were Disposed
of Baackes Gives rlrder. "
NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Judge E. H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, gave out a statement
tonight In explanation of the charge
made by the Government that certain
evidence used in the prosecution of the
so-called " Jackson wire pools." and
needed to support the Government's suit
to dissolve the corporation, had been
destroyed.
Judge Gary says that the evidence, a
trunkful of "old papers" that had been
before the Federal grand jury In New
York and returned alter the indictments
in the wire-pool Investigation, had been
disposed of, were ordered destroyed by
Frank Baackes, vice-president of the
American Steel & Wire Company,, who
supposed that all the prosecutions
growing out of the wire pools were at
an end, and that the papers were no
longer needed for any purpose."
Gary Pleads Ignorance.
Judge Gary's statement say? In part:
"I had never heard of the destruction
of these papers until yesterday, and,
upon Inquiry, I learn that the circum
stances were as follows:
"In the Spring of 1911 the New York
Federal grand Jury, under the direction
of District Attorney Wise, began an in
vestigation Into the Jackson wire pools.
In the course of this Investigation a
subpena was Issued directing the wire
company to produce all letters and pa
pers bearing upon the transactions
under Inquiry. The officers of the wire
company complied with this subpena by
gathering together from their files all
the papers called for. They were very
numerous and filled a large trunk. . .
"Upon the day the indictments were
filed, the trunkful of papers was re
turned to Mr. MacVeagh (Charles Mac
Veagh). general solicitor of the cor
poration. In response to his letter re
ferred to In the petition of the Govern
ment for an Injunction.
Papers Never Called For.
"The indictments were all disposed of
by preas of nolle contendre, and the
papers were never called for again by
the District Attorney. The trunk re
mained in the personal charge of Mr.
MacVeagh during Juiy and until the
25th of August, when he left on a two
months' vacation. During the absence
of Mr. MacVeagh, Mr. Bollinc assistant
general solicitor, was In charge of the
office. . . -
"At the end of September the offices
of Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Boiling were
moved from the seventeenth to the six
teenth floor of No. 71 Broadway.
'"Mr. Boiling then noticed the trunk
in one of the offices, and directed that
inquiry be made at the offices of the
American Steel & Wire Company, No.
30 Church street. New. York City, to
ascertain if the trunk could not be stored
there. Upon hearing that It could, he
directed its removal, and accordingly
it was removed to the offce of the wire
company on or about September 28,
1911. This was done without the
knowledge of Mr. MacVeagh.
Tronic Shifted Around. v
"When Mr. Colton, of the Department
of Justice, applied, about the end of
January, for leave to Inspect the con
tents of the trunk, Mr. Boiling made
Inquiry at the office of the wire com
pany in New York, and learned that
shortly after the trunk was received at
that office It was forwarded, by direc
tion of Mr. Baackes, to the offices of
the wire company at Worcester, Mass.,
from where It had been originally sent.
"Further Inquiry developed that after
Its arrival at Worcester Its contents
were destroyed by order of Mr. Baackes.
Mr. Baackes reports that when he
ordered the contents destroyed he sup
posed that all the prosecutions growing
out of the wire pools were at an end,
and that the papers were no longer
needed for any purpose."

it is true; it tells of a way to get rid of these plague spots which so
often sap the strength and vitality, and best of all, this permanent cure
is in reach of every one.
It is an absolutely true statement to say that every old sore or
chronic ulcer exists solely because of bad blood. Outside contamina
tions or influences may increase the local inflammation, but such
things have nothing to do with keeping the place open. It is tne in
fected blood discharging its impurities through a weak spot on tne
flesh that does this, and the sore will continue, gradually growing
worse, until the blood is purified of the exciting cause.
See how nature points to the cause through the symptoms. The
inflammation, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that external
applications never have any curative effect on the sore, show that
deep down in the circulation there is a morbid cause which prevents
the place from healing. But more convincing proof that bad blood is
responsible for old sores, is furnished by the fact that even removing
every visible trace of the ulcer by surgieal operation does not cure;
the sore always returns. '
S S. S. heals old sores because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers; it goes into the circulation and removes the cause from the
blood When the blood has been purified there is no longer any in
flammatory or infectious matter to irritate the place and nature causes
a natural and certain healing of the ulcer. When S. S. S. has cleansed
the circulation and the place is well, it is not a surface cure, not simply,
a smoothing over of the outward evidence, but it is a perfect and per
manent cure, because every vestige of the old cause has been driven,
out S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, cleansing and.
invigorating in their nature, and of great tonic value. It is a medicine,
adapted to persons of any age, and is just as effective with the old as
with the young or middle aged. Under the purifying and tonic effects
of S. S. S. the system is greatly strengthened and benefited. I o hear,
of S. S. S. has been good news to thousands, it is good news for you.
If you wish any special advice about an old sore or ulcer write
for our free book, and ask our medical department to give any Instruc
tions you may feel the need of. No charge for the book or advice.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

Pictures at Bungalow Enhanced by
Exhibition of "Bulldogglng."
An unusual entertainment that
seemed like a condensed form of the
Cheyenne, Wyo.. Round-up was given
last night at the Bungalow Theater,
with L. E. McCoy, champion bulldogger,
in the leading role of entertainer.
While a great portion of the evening's
show was contributed by the indi
vidual exhibition of Mr. McCoy's prow
ess as a graduate cowboy, the added
attraction of three lengthy films of
motion pictures, depicting stories of
the round-up in pictured form, proved
to be an Interesting novelty. The first
series of pictures was devoted to de
scriptions of broncho-busting and bull
dogging, with performances by men
and women whose names are well
known In the world of frontier horse
manship and whose art has brought
them recognition at contests.
Between the moving-picture displays
Mr. McCoy gave an exhibition of fancy
rope twirling and lassoing; a broncho
busting performance and, as a finale,
an exhibition of bulldogglng.
