have the strongest effect against emi

soliciting a large appropriation to be
expended In efforts to hold at home

that It Is a mistake for any one to go
West, and that the representations
from Western states In advertising

to copy the met hods of Western rail

Save for falling eyesight. Mr. Mat
thieu Is as hale and hearty as a man of
to. His mind Is perfectly clear and ho
readily recalls Incidents of his boy

Canadian extraction and was born In
Terrebonne. 18 miles from Montreal, on
April 2. lsl. While still a lad the
province In which he lived was trans
ferred to the Knglisli by Napoleon. The
failure of the new masters to trant
them the privileges which they had en
joyed under France was the cause for
much dissatisfaction. While wurkinit
in Montreal the young man saved his
money and bought powder and bullets
with which It was hopel to win free
dom from the English.
Dislike of F.aallsh Iteglas tlarly.
Every Sunday the young men ft his
nationality engaged In a military drill,
but when their purposes became known
Matthieu was obliged to leave the
country. After some difficulty In get
ting passports he arrived in Albany,
N. V. From that point he made his way
gradually to Buffalo. Detroit. Cleve
land. Milwaukee and Mackinaw. He ar
rived In Chicago, a small settlement.
In 1838. Later he entered tije serv
ice of the American Fur Company and
spent some time In the region of the
Black Hills.
It was a time wheat the Immigration
to the Pacific Northwest had set in and
Matthieu was engaged to accompany
a party as his knowledge, of the Sioux
languase was considered an advantage.
After the usual hardships the emigrant
train reached Tr. Whltman'a mission
near Walla Walla.
Mr. Matfhlcu's recollections of tho
famous missionary are vivid even after
more than half a century. Dr. Whit
man, he says, was one of the best men
he ever knew. He furnished the travel
ers with flour and provisions and re
fused to accept any payment for them.
Faasoaa Meetlag Recalled.
Upon his arrival at the Hudson Bay
station st Champoeg Mr. Matthieu
worked for a Frenchman who was
building a bridge In the vicinity. Ijter
he worked for tho Hudson's Bay Com
pany in harvesting grain for the Rus
sian government. The company was at
the time under contract to furnish
1S.O00 bushels of wheat yearly for the
privilege of trapping In the Alaska
country.
It was while he was thus e-n gaged
that the famous meeting was held to
determine whether the Oregon country
thould become British or American tet
rltory. After several attempts to come
to' a decision by ballot or viva voce

Shortly after the provisional govern
ment was established Mr. Matthieu was
appointed Justice of the Teace. One
of the lavs provided that no liquor
should be made In Oregon. It became
known that a sailor had set up a "still"
near the present town of Uervais. When
Mr. Matthieu and his assistant colled
there the man refused to comply with
the law, saylns that It was a "freo

the cabin Mr. Matthieu says the moon

Mib-Conimittre? Io Ho Named by C. C.
hapmnn lo Plan for Meeting in
Portland Soon.
C. C. Chapman, presiding over an in
formal meeting Monday of a general
committee at the F'ortland Commercial
Club to consider tho problem of logged
off lands and their reclamation, was
Instructed to appoint a subcommittee
of five to consider plans for holding
a 1'aclfic Northwest Lodged -Off J .and
Congress In tho near future. The com
mittee will be announced today and will
report bark to a meeting of the general
committee which will be called by the
chairman as soon as the subcommittee
has formulated its report.
In the call for the meeting Monday,
which was Issued over tho signatures
of i:. B. Piper, president of the Portland
Commercial Club: G. F. Johnson, of tho
promotion committee, and C. C. Chap
man. State Immigration Agent, it was
suggested that such a congress be held
under the auspices of the Portland
Commercial Club, Oregon Development
League, Oregon Conservation Associa
tion, Southwestern Washington Devel
opment League. Olympic Peninsula De
velopment League, Oregon Immigration
Commission, West Coast Lumber Man
ufacturers' Association and other sim
ilar associations.
F. B. Holbrook. in the committee
meeting, declared that there was lesa
need of a congress than of systematlx
Ing the Information that can be gath
ered from those who are actually clear
ing and farming cut-over lands. The
testimony of expert farmers, he be
lieved, would be of more real value
than the findings of any organization
that set out with a purpose of clearing
and marketing land. Mr. Holbrook,
while not entirely opposed to tho idea
of calling the congress, said that the
utmost caution should be used In or
ganizing and conducting such a con
gress. If best results are to be obtained.
In his opinion the plan of the South
western Washington Settlors' Agency,
while meritorious in many respects,
was not tTomplete and could In several
details be made safer for the settler.
F. C. Knapp. president of tho Port
land Chamber of Commerce, said that
in many sections attempts to settle cut
over lands would endanger the timber
wealth of the state. He believed that
srat care bhould be exercised in agi
tating the subject until a carefully
thought-out plan could be developed,
since creating a false sentiment
througout the state might do more
harm than any of the good that might
result from loo hasty action.
None of the speakers opposed the
Idea of the congress directly, but all
agreed that It was a subject that should
be approached with care and held
within strictly practical lines. H waa
generally conceded that In case such
a congress Is called, discussion of
clearing methods in cut-over lands
should take precedence over market
ing methods.

Judpe Galena Announces That Night
Sessions or Court Will Be Held
Vntll Murder Trial Is
Made History.
Commanding during her recital the
undivided attention of the 12 Jurymen
who are to pass upon the guilt or In
nocence of her father, who stands ac
cused of the murder of W. A. Wort
man, a union picket. Miss Lilly B.
Hicks, daughter of Burt Hicks, yes
terday told from the witness stand In
Judge Gatens' court a story of Insults
heaped upon her by the strikers.
When Bhe declared that one of the
pickets had once shouted, "Look at the
t ," a wave of Indlgnatlo'n swept
through the courtroom. She had fre
quently been called a "scab-herder's
daughter." and men often peered In
sultingly at her through the windows
of her father's shop, where she was
employed as bookkeeper. She had al
wavs kept the office door locked, she
said. She had walked several times
from the shop to Grand avenue and
East Oak street, where she caught her
car, with one or another of her father's
employes, and the pickets had followed
shouting "scab" and "damn scab" and
taunting the men because they had to
be escorted by a woman.
Woman Finally Resigns.
Finally, Miss Hicks said, her father
Ordered her to close up her books and
leave for home at 4:30, about a half
hour before the pickets assembled and
she kept this up until she quit her
father's employment.
"I quit because 1 didn't care to be
subjected to Insult any longer. I was
so nervous that I could not have stood
the strain many more days," she de
clared. Private Prosecutor Davis allowed her
to leave the stand without cross-examination.
W. B. Conn, one of the Hicks' work
men, told of being beaten into insensi
bility by pickets. Thic was after he
had been warned, that men were fre
quently kiued during strikes and that
he had better come out. He recovered
consciousness In the office of a physii
cian. where he was carried by a sym
pathetic passerby, and was unable to
resume work for several weeks.
More Threat Made.
Later the pickets told him that they
had tried to get him once and that
if he failed to strlko they would "get
him proper" the next time. The epi
thets which he recited In the. court
room as having been applied to him
were the acme of vlleness and In
decency. '"Which one had the fit," was a
question he often heard asked by
pickets, and he declared that he once
received word from O. B. Kaser, the
picket captain, through a third party,
that he was to have another nt. He
was not allowed to testify further con
cerning this, however, the state object
ing to it as hearsay.
A. S. McCarl. blacksmith in Hicks'
shop, gave an answer which aroused
the enthusiasm of the attorneys for
the defense when Special Prosecutor
Davis Insisted on knowing why he had
ceased his connection with labor
unions.
"I will tell you." McCarl said finally.
"When the strike started In 1903 in
San Francisco I was working in the
John Hammond Car shops, building
streetcars and doing general machine
work. Hammond offered me a dollar a
day more if 1 would stay and I put
It "before the union and they said I
couldn't stay, that I had to go out
with the rest of the men. I went out
and some time later they wanted me
to do picket d-uty. They said 1 might
as well Join the fighting gang.
Job ncket Refused.
"They said I would have 5 a week
when I went on strike and If I would
do picket duty, a little more, but if I
Joined the fighting gang, the better
Job I would do, the more I would have.
I told them that I refused to do any
fighting except when I had to. They
aald "you don't need to kill a man, but
put him out of commission so he won't
be able to work.' I said no.
"About three of four nights after
that, at the corner of First and Fol
som streets, six of them attacked me.
They beat mc so bad they put me out
of commission all right. 1 was taken to
a hospital in an ambulance, where a
surgeon took nine stitches In my head."
Mr. Davis "Haven't you got a soft
place there yet?"
"Perhaps, and maybe others have,
too." -nswered the witness. "Anyway.
I wasn't out again for five weeks and
I was attended by the doctor for some
time. Since then I have gone through
throe operations, performed by Dr.
Angclus here In Portland, as a result of
the same thing. I liad a good reason
all right."
Mr. Davis asked the witness several
times f he had not been ejected from
the union because he got drunk and
was too brutal while a striker. Thla
McCarl denied vigorously.
Lle passed by Attoraey,
In an altercation over a letter pro
duced by McCarl to prove his former
affiliation with the union. Mr. Ma
larkey passed the lie to Mr. Davis and
Judge Gitens Interrupted the attorney
for the defense with: -'Tou lie-" That
language is Improper. You have prac
ticed, law long enough to know that."
Patrolman Stlllwell testified to hav
ing seen Emll Schmidt, one of the em
ployes of the Phoenix Iron Works,
standing off a crowd of plcketers with
a loaded revolver. The union men had
appealed to him to arrest Schmidt but
he had refused. Stlllwell had also seen
a picket attack a man with a knife. He
went with one man on a streetcar to
the city limits to protect him agajnst
possible attack from three strikers who
had boarded the car. Stlllwell testified.
The men working in the shops sought
in every way to avoid trouble with the
strikers, be said, but he had often
