CAREER EVENTFUL ONE teath Comes After Ixng Illness Due to Cancer Friends and Associates of Earlier Dajs to Be at Funeral. Walter F. (Jack) Matthews Is dead. Mr. Matthews, who was for years a leading political figure in Oregon, died at 4 o'clock yesterday morning at St. Vincent's Hospital from cancer, follow ing an illness of several months. Funeral services will be held at 3 'clock this afternon at the Miller & Tracey parlors, at Ella and Morrison streets. At the specific request of Mr. Matthews, no flowers will be sent. As was Mr. Matthews' desire, his body will be cremated, and the urn buried beside the body of his mother in Riverview Cemetery. Funeral to Be Today. The honorary pallbearers at the fu neral today will be Judge McGinn, W. B. Ayer. W. W. Cotton. I. L. Patterson, W. L. Lightner, Hiram Bennett, Thomas A. Jordan and Colonel C. E. S. Wood. The acting pallbearers will be Frank Kiernan, H. L. Corbett. Frank A. Barnes, John Cole. Waldemar Seton, Alexander Donaldson, A. L. Powell and A. A. Hall. Mr. Matthews was at one time chair man of the State Republican Commit tee, and held, at different times, the offices of Deputy County Clerk, Deputy City Auditor, City Auditor, assistant postmaster and United States Marshal. He was 58 years old. Born in San Francisco, he came to Portland as a boy with his mother and step-father, Harry Morgan, who was later chief of the Portland Fire Department. Clerical Work Given Up. Mr. Matthews was educated In the Portland public schools. Later he tried clerical work, but abandoned this and learned the trade of machinist in .the "Willamette Iron Works, where his step-father was at that time foreman. Mr. Matthews continued to work at his trade for several years, until his hand was disabled, first by a gunshot wound received while hunting and later by losing several fingers in a machine. After this accident Mr. Matthews made his first entrance into politics. James Lotan. manager of the iron works, and later known as "Boss" Lo tan, secured an appointment for his Injured employe as Deputy County Clerk. This appointment-was in 1884. under I. X. Saunders, and was held until July, 1S86. when William Church, a Demo crat, was elected. Mr. Lotan rose to hish political power in the state in 1888 when he defeated Joseph Simon, after their break. Mr. Matthews was reputed one of Mr. Lotan's most trusted lieutenants, and soon became City Auditor. Later he was a deputy under County Auditor H. C. Wood. Dur ing the Mayoralty of the late George P. Frank, Mr. Matthews was adviser to the Mayor and bookkeeper for Mr. Frank's implement company. Federal Pout Held. At the appointment of A. B. Croas man as postmaster, Mr. Matthews was named as assistant postmaster for Portland. The wins: of the Republi can party with which Mr. Matthews was associated was later known as Mitchell Republican, with Joseph Simon heading the opposing faction. Mr.. Matthews rose to leadership of the party in Oregon in 1902 and was chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee when W. J. Furnish was the gubernatorial candidate and George E. Chamberlain made his first fiaht, and a successful one, for the office on the Democratic ticket. After the election of Charles W. Fulton as United States Senator, Mr. Matthews svas appointed United States Marshal for Oregon. He held this position un til deposed by President Roosevelt at the request of Francis J. Heney. when Heney was embarking on his spectacu lar career in the land fraud cases. Action Keenly Kelt. Mr. Heney feared that as United Slates Marshal Mr. Matthews would not give the service desired. Mr Mat thews felt keenly his deposition, whicn he believed was without Justification. This closed Mr. Matthews' political career, as he did not take an active part in politics from that time until h;s death. Mr. Matthews' long career was marked by two pet aversions, which amounted practically to the same thing He would never have his picture taken' and was much incensed when his name would appear in print. This dislike of publicity continued through a long political career, and into his private life. Even complimentary mention of his name in a newspaper was not liked. ' Mr. Matthews prided himself on his physical condition. He never drank and never smoked. He is survived by his wife, from whom he had been separated though not divorced, and who is now in Cali fornia, and his brother, Frederick D Matthews, of 561 Third street. Mr. Matthews' estate, which is esti mated to be worth $125,000, probably will be taken in charge by Frank Kiernan, an intimate personal friend of the deceased, at Mr. Matthews' request. MR. MOORE ASKS TIME DEVKLOPMEXT OF SALT DEPOSITS IMMEDIATELY HELD IMPOSSIBLE. Attorney Pray, for Extension Until .' January 1 to Ralw Money and - Provide for Water Power. Acting on the instruction of his client, Jason M. Moore, who leased Lakes. Abert and Sumner from the State of Oregon last February. Attor ney C. A. Sheppard. of this city, last night addressed a letter to the State Land Board requesting that Mr. Moore be gtven until January 1 to deposit the balance of his promised 25 000 for feit with the state. Mr. Moore has deposited $10,00 with the state, guaranteeing that he will commence active development of the lakes within 90 days after May 22 3915. and an additional bond of $15.000 falls due Sunday next, when, if the money is not paid, the lease will be come void, unless the State Land Board elects to grant an extension. Letters received by Mr. Sheppard from Mr. Moore indicate that the re striction of Federal laws, as well as the tightening of the money market, have hindered Mr. Moore in going ahead with his development of the two lakes. Mr. Moore quotes authorities to the effect that the Government has "bottled" up all of the advantageous power sites In the Deschutes country and that it would be impossible to es tablish the 100,000-horsepower plant that would be required, consulting en gineers say, to manufacture the salt deposits of the lakes Into marketable commodities. By January, Mr. Moore hopes, money will be easier by reason of the possible termination of the war. and by that time he thinks he may be able to get an act through Congress that will per mit him to have the use of Deschutes water power.
