OREGON CITIES 10
HAVE MAUSOLEUMS
Portland Structure Will Be
Known as Riverview Abbey,
is Announced.
COST OF CRYPTS IS SMALL
Company Promoting Construction of
Buildings in Nine Towns of
State and Work on Them
Will Bo Hastened.
Riverview Abbey Is the name which
lias been chosen for a mausoleum to be
erected In Portland early this Summer
on lines which embrace all that Is best
In the mausoleum or the ancients. A
company of Portland men has obtained
from the International Mausoleum
Company, of Chicago, the patent rights,
and will construct a handsome and last
In building, to be completed by next
Winter.
The men who have combined to form
the company have done so, not as much
with the idea of making profits from It
as because of their belief that It Is the
most tender and respectful, and above
all the most honorable way for the
private citizen and for the whole com
munity, for In this way are carried out
the ideas of W. E. Gladstone, England's
foremost statesman, when he said:
"Show me the manner in which a na
tion or a community cares for its dead
and I will measure with mathematical
exactness the tender sympathies of Its
people, their respect for the law of the
land and their loyalty to high Ideals."
Plan Is DlMcnsaed.
In this connection Senator L. L. H.
Austin, of Ohio, who is connected with
tho Portland company, with an office
in the Spalding building, yesterday
jjaid:
"How best to dispose of the dead is
a question that has long been under
consideration. . There Is the practice of
burying human bodies in the ground,
coupled with the certain knowledge of
their fate and the danger to the living
in the insanitary character of this prac
tice. "Cremation offers a solution of the
problem of sanitary disposal of the
dead; but It Is difficult for most people
to bring themselves to regard with
favor this method of reducing to their
original element the forms of those
held dear.
"The 'better way,' as we call it,
makes It very much easier for us to
lay away our loved ones. It Is a plan
whereby a number of families co-operate
in erecting an imposing mauso
leum containing sealed compartments,
equipped with sanitary devices, which
tend to preserve the body instead of
destroying it. The compartment mau
soleum mark,s the highest development
of present-day burial customs. It is
a worthy 'monument to an age of ad
vanced invention and enlightenment.
Community mausoleums bring within
the reach of the average man the finest
Interment possible. Crypt owners are
afforded the satisfaction of knowing
that In future years their last resting
place will stand as secure as the monu
ments of the ancients.
New-Old Way Devised.
"To those who have undergone the
distressing experience of having the
llnal ceremonies conducted with un
seemly haste under circumstances both
disagreeable and dismal, the thought
has invariably arisen: Why has not
some one devised a means of doing
away with this horrible practice?
"Such a way has been devised, and
the question answered. No matter how
Inclement the weather, or disagreeable
the conditions without, the entrance
halls of our mausoleums form commo
dious chapels, dry and well-lighted. In
which the last rites over the bodies of
friends or relatives are conducted with
out hurry, amid comfortable surround
ings'. "In June. 1907, the United States
Government Issued to W. L Hood pat
outs for a sanitary crypt and com
munity mausoleum. His methods af
ford protection to the health of the
living and are unsurpassed In dispos
ing of the dead. " The principal disin
fecting and deodorizing agents used are
formaldehyde and quick lime the most
searching and effective known to
science. These are contained in cen
tral tanks connected with each crypt
by pipes, and by means of these pat
ented devices the general sanitary con
dition of the modern mausoleum Is as
perfect as those of a residence."
Crypts to Be Sold.
The Portland Mausoleum Company
owns these patents for the State of
Oregon and plans to construct mauso
leums and sell crypts In every com
munity throughout the state. It is
also a part of the plan to build pri
vate mausoleums of attractive design,
embodying the same sanitary features
of construction.
The foundations and superstructures
are of reinforced concrete, faced on the
outside with stone or porcelain-faced
brick. The crypts are built in tiers,
are uniform in size and are separated
by four-Inch seamless walls of rein
forced concrete. The Interior of the
building Is finished in white marble
and underneath each row of crypts Is
a marble ledge, six inches wide, suit
able for floral tributes. The entrance
hall Is designed to serve as a chapel
lor funeral services.
Although In existence only five years,
ISO mausoleums have been built, while
as many more are now under course of
construction,
A site for the Portland Mausoleum
has been obtained at Greenwood, ad
jacent to and overlooking the River
view Cemetery, yet far enough back to
avoid any risk of landslide. It will
contain between 1000 and 1500 tombs,
some separate ones, others compart
ments for a family, varying In num
ber from 4 to 12. built off from the
main corridor and equal to a private
mausoleum.
In ancient times the cost of such a
mode of interment prohibited all but
the most wealthy, but when tombs can
be obtained at a total cost of from
$J0O to $250, prices very much lower
than in Chicago, there is provided a
means of preserving the family name
for ages. Just as many of the ancient
Roman and Egyptian names have been
preserved solely through the Inscrip
tions on the tombs.
Nine sites have been obtained In
cities of Oregon, including Salem. Eu
gene and Medford. and plans are formed
for the speedy erection of mausoleums
at these cities. Many prominent citi
zens have taken tombs already and the
company has planned to take care, at
a very small cost, of bodies, until the
mausoleums are completed.
EXCLUSIVE PLAYS SHOWN
Theaters of Peoples Amusement
Company Offer Special Features.
Four big photo play exclusive! headed
the new bills at four of the principal
theaters of the Peoples Amusement
Company. At the Peoples the extra
attraction was "The Dove In the Eagle's
Xest" from the novel of Mrs. Yonge
At the Star there was a two-reel spe
cial. "Tears of Blood," made by the
Eclair Company, of Paris. At the Ar
cade the management fell into the pre
vailing fashion of showing a Bernhardt
film and revealed the great French
artiste in "L.a Tosca" in two reels. The
Sunnyslde Theater offered "The Palace
of Flames" in three reels. This same
feature will be transferred to the Tiv
oll for today and tomorrow.
"The Dove in the Eagle's Nest" Is
a costumed play of an earlier period.
It Is charmingly done, and shows how
a gentle dove of a woman softened the
warring soul of her great fighting lord.
"Tears of B!ood," at the Star, deals
with French social life p.nd teaches the
evil results which follow a man who
neglects his wife and child for a life
of pleasure and temptation. "The
Palace of Flames" has already been
described. It is a striking feature and
shows a tremendously thrilling fire
scene. Of all the attractions, the two
which commanded the greatest atten
tion were the "Dove" at the Peoples
and "La Tosca," the Bernhardt film, at
the Arcade.

MAN OF EUGENE MISSING
Governor West Requests Jjearch Be
Made for Joseph Endllcher.
District Attorney Evans has received
a letter from Governor West asking
him to assist in the search for Joseph
Endllcher, of Eugene, who left that
city for Austria August 13 last, and
who has not been heard of since.
Through his ticket he has been traced
through Portland to Huntington. Or.,
but there all trace of him was lost. He
bad something over J100 In money. G.
A. Sax, of the German Aid Society.

HEN LANDS PAIR IN JAIL
Woodlawn Men Assault Supposed
Owner of Trespassing Chicken.
For their conduct In a fight which
started over the vagrancy of a chicken,
A. W. and G. W. Bender, young men
living In Woodlawn, were held to
answer to the grand Jury in Justice
Court. The complaint was made by G.
L. Wtlley, a clerk of the Justice Court,
who wears a badly bruised eye as a
reminder of the encounter.
Wtlley had given a hen from his prise
flock to one of his neighbors, and it
strayed to the premises of the Benders.
They pursued it and when it flew
directly to the Willey home, their Ire
was turned upon him and it is charged
that they attacked him at the door of
his own house.
The well-kept lawns of a public square In
Detroit. Mich., are said to be preserved
from injury by placards bearing the single
word "Please!" Thla is doubtless fully as
effective as the stern prohibition to be seen
In another city "JCeep oa to Grass 410
Fine."
tratns between Portland and San
Francisco, will be resumed.
Julius Kruttschnltt, who was director
of maintenance and operation for both
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,
has become chairman of the board of
directors of the Southern Pacific and
will give personal attention to this de
tail of construction. The work thus far
has been carried on under Mr. Krutt
schnitt's direction but it has not been
proceeding with speed satisfactory to
the people who will be affected by Its
completion.
However, this piece of work is one
that presents many engineering diffi
culties and one in which permanency
and future safety rather than speed are
considerations.
Tunnel Half Completed.
Activity during the present Winter is
confined to the tunnel near Natron
which now is more than 50 per cent
completed. It is probable that it will
be finished before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, however, work can proceed
on the open ground south of Natron
and north of Klamath Falls. There is
a gap of about 100 miles south of the
tunnel over which construction must be
done before the two ends are united.
Arrangements also have been made
for improving the line between Weed,
Cal., and Klamath Falls. This formerly
was a logging road and was not built
with an idea, that it ever would be
used as a part of a trunk railroad. It
follows the contour of the country,
which is rough and rocky and its pro
file is serrated, like the teeth of a saw,
only not so regular.
Finish Possible Year.
The new line has been surveyed from
a point about 10 miles south of Mount
Hebron. CaJ- to the main line. It is
probable that the new cut off will con
nect with the main line a short distance
south of Weed, the present connection.
This work has been under way for
nearly four years now. When it first
was undertaken the engineers figured
that it could be finished within three
years. But physical and financial dif
ficulties were encountered and delays
resulted.
It Is said that the work between
Natron and Klamath can be finished
within a year if it is given close at
tention. Relieved of his Jurisdiction over the
Harriman properties Mr. Kruttschnltt
will be able to give this work closer
study. E. E. Calvin, vice-president and
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific, has given it much attention in
recent years and it is understood that
he is eager soon to have it finished.
Grades and Curves Overcome.
The new line will be extremely valu
able In handling both freight and pas
senger traffic. It reaches its extreme
altitude at the Natron tunnel and from
that point to San Francisco there is a
gradual descending grade. This will
overcome the numerous up and down
grades on the present line between
Eugene and Weed, as the main line
trains will be operated via the cut off.
Not only will the grades be eliminated
but more than 20,000 degrees of curva
ture will be saved.
It is estimated that regular passen
ger trains will be able to run be
tween Portland and San Francisco over
the new road in 22 hours. It requires
27 hours over the present line.
NEW LECTURE COURSE ON
Dr. John II. Boyd Will Speak at Y.
M. C. A. Saturdays.
Beginning his lecture course on
"Changing Ideas in Religious Thought,"
Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, will speak at noon
tomorrow in the auditorium of the
Young Men's Christian Association. His
subject will be "The Changing Concep
tion of the Nature and Function of the
Bible." .Luncheon will be served at
12:15 o'clock, and Dr. Boyd will speak
at 12:30 o'clock. There Is no fee except
the luncheon charge. All men interested
may attend, but should notify in ad
vance R. R. Perkins, religious work
director of the association.
Dr. Boyd has spent considerable time
in preparing this course, which is ex
pected to equal In interest the lectures
he delivered at the T. M. C. A. last
year. Subjects for Dr. Boyd's lectures
after this week are: February 8, "The
Changing Interpretation and Emphasis
Concerning Salvation"; February 15.
"The New and Larger Significance of
Jesus"; February 22, "The Fact of
Human Inequality and the Re-Statement
of the Dogma of Election": March
1, "Mystery in Religion and the De
velopment of a Christianized Agnostic
Ism": March 8. "The Changeless Cer
tainties of Christianity."
It Is said that the Portland T. M. C
A. Is the first in the United States to
make a specal feaure of religious edu
cation for business and professional
men. In addition to the noon lecture
courses, such as the present one by Dr.
