LOUIS W. HILL JOLTS
BUSINESSMEN HERE
More Vigor Needed, He Says,
to Prevent Other . Cities
i. Wresting Away Trade,
SON TALKS LIKE FATHER
Criticism Is Pointed but Con
structive Eastern Methods Are
Held Necessary Oregonians
Toltl to Travel More.
The spirit of the late James J. Hill
was brought into vivid recollection in
Portland yesterday when LouiB W. Hill.
his son and successor, told a group of
business men that they are asleep at
he proverbial switch, explained why
the railroads are not building- more new
lines in Oregon and admonished the
people to bestir themselves, lest their
neighbor cities wrest much of their
business away from them.
It was the wont of the elder Mr. Hill
frequently to scold the cities along the
lines of his railroads, and the cities
generally profited from his sound ad
vice, for Mr. Hill was possessed of an
abundance of wisdom, experience and
plain "horse sense."
Now that the younger Mr. Hill has
succeeded to the tremendous duties and
responsibilities of his Illustrious father,
he seems to have inherited some of this
aptness for taking: council with the
communities and of telling them where
in they may benefit themselves.
Criticism la Constructive.
And. as was the habit of his father.
Mr. Hill yesterday indulged In nothing
hut constructive Criticism. His aud
ience enjoyed it. even approved of it,
and pave some evidence of an intention
of acting on it.
"We have worn ourselves out trying
to get people interested in Oregon." he
told a company of prominent Portland
folks who lunched with him at the
Benson Hotel. "No one here seems to
le as enthusiastic about this state as
we are.
"I'll bet there is no one in this room
who has traveled over this state as I
have There may be people here who
have, but I don't know of them.
"Fov ' heaven's sake, don't leave it
to a few railroad people to develop
your country for you. It never has
looked right for us back in St. Paul to
come out here and do this work that
ought to be done right here In Port
land. It would be about the same as if
Portland went back and told St. Paul
how to run Its business."
Mr. Hill revealed, in his extem
poraneous talk, that he had given some
study to local conditions. He quoted
figures on the grain movement as well
as any grain exporter.
Grain Not All-Sufflclent.
"You seem to think," he continued,
that because the grain grows out here
everything is all right, that it has got
to come' to you. You think that by
waiting until the war is over all the
grain will come back. But maybe some
other port may get it. You can't stay
here, not doing anything, and expect
to retain your business."
When he was in Lewiston, Mont., a
few clays ago, he explained, he learned
that tho business men there are plan
ning to erect a grain elevator costing
SU500.000. with flour mills in propor
tionate size.
"Who knows." he asked, significant
ly, "but what I.ewiston will come over
Into your territory and take some of
your grain away from you?"
He dealt. In like vein, with tho In
hr situation. He said that a few years
hv;o when the Northwestern lumber
men wanted a readjustment of rates
they laid bare- the secrets of their busi
ness before the Interstate Commerce
Commission so that their competitors
in me southern pine territory were
able to invade their territory and take
away some of their business.
Bnnkrnt Also Are Hit.
The bankers did not-escape a share
or his criticism. Portland bankers, in
Mr. Hill's estimation, have not enough
or ine despised virtue of dissatisfac
tion. They are content to do ousrttess
along the old lines, he said. Contrast
ing this attitude to the spirit of the
t. Paul and Minneapolis bankers Mr.
Hill pointed to the recent experience
of the First National of St. Paul, of
which he is chairman. Three years
ago that bank had. deposits of $11,000,
000. Two years ago- those deposits had
tncreased 2."i0 per cent; last year they
had increased 350 per cent. Then two
enterprising Minneapolis banks con
solldated and were bigger than the St.
Paul bank.
lou ee. commented Mr. mil, we
in St. Paul had become satisfied, and
the Minneapolis bank beat us."
Mr. Hill divided honors in Portland
yestejartay with J. M. Hannaford. presi
dent of the Northern Pacific, who
spoke briefly at the Benson luncheon.
Ir. Hannaford told how Portland had
been buil up, as a city, far beyond the
country back of it, and the necessity
for assisting the back country. The
Willamette alley, if properly culti
vated. he said, would support ten times
as many people as it now contains.

China's Late President to Re

SPLENDOR ATTENDS MARCH

Orient and Occident Strangely Min
gled as Catafalque Is Borne
From Forbidden City to
Modern Railway Station.
PEKIN, July 28. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Yuan Shi Kai's
bady . was borne through the streets
of PeV.in in Oriental splendor today
and left the capital in which the late
president has been the pre-eminent fig
ure for four years. Hundreds of thou
sands of Chinese stood with bare heads
while the catafalque of the late presi
dent was carried slowly along the Im
perial roadway from the forbidden city
to he railway station. The few thou
sand foreigners living in Pekin and
many foreign visitors from other Chi
nese cHIjs joined with the Chinese in
doini: homage.
President Li Tuan Hung, all the male
members of Yuan Shi Kai's -family.
Prince Pu Lun, representing the late
Manchu dynasty, and the entire dip
lomatic corps accredited to Pekin
walked in the procession from the pal
ace grounds to Chienmen. the" central
gate ii the city wall, opposite which
the railway station is situated.
Orient Blends With Occident.
The procession was a strange com
bination of Oriental and Western cus
toms, a blending of old and new China,
of the monarchy and the republic. The
uniforms of all the Chinese soldiery,
which participated in the march, were
fashioned after those of Western
armies, but the Chines catafalque, the
scores of priests wearing their robes
of brilliant satin, the hundreds of ban
ner bearers in bright red gowns and
'the tile roofs and bright red walls of
the Imperial buildings overshadowed
the Western touches In the procession.
Many Chinese bands, which partici
pated in tho procession, played the
death march from Saul, but between
theje bands were companies of priests,
clad in the blue robes of the Confucian
teachers, the bright red robes of the
Taoists and the yellow robes of the
Lamas, who played dirges on strange
reed instruments.
Relatives Clad In White.
Yuan Shi Kai's older sons and other
male relatives, numbering more than
60, were clad in the traditional white
mourning ifebes of the Chinese. They
walked under a great white canopy
and every few yards attendants dropped
pillows on the pavement upon which the
mourner-s knelt and bowed their heads.
After the procession had moved
through Chienman gate, the catafalque
was placed in a temporary marque
erected before the entrance to the rail
way station. There tablets were burned
and offerings of food and wine were
made in honor of the departed.
The body was then carried through
the station of European design and
placed in the funeral train, which con
sisted of many cars draped with red
bunting and bright with various col
ored banners. Three trains were re
quired to carry the family and friends
of the late president and officers
designated by the government to ac
company the body to the late nresi
dent's ancestral home at Chang-te-fu
in Honan Province, where he will be
buried as soon as a tomb can be
erected.

vorite troops of the Ksiser. The cap
ture of 141 British soldiers and three
officers is reported, and the taking of
6S macnine guns since July la.
The fact that the Brandenburgers
are on the Somme front is hailed with
joy here. The Germans themselves, in
reporting their action, admit that they
have been drawn from the Verdun
front, where they won fame in the
capture of Fort Douaumont. This con
firms the reports from allied sources
that Germany was being forced to
weaken her line in other places to meet
the new offensive and is believed con
elusive proof that the German attack
on Verdun has at last been abandoned.
The French have been comparatively
quiet along their part of the Somme
front, reporting bad weather and
"minor operation" which resulted in
the capture of a battery near Estres
south of the Somme.
While the German lines along the
Dvina were crumpling up before one
of the greatest and most furious at
tacks of the war, the Kaiser and his
chitf of staff were today rushing with
all rpeed toward the scene, oblivious
' r the time being to all developments
on the western front.
Louden tonight recalls nothing of
more significance In the last year of
fighting than this sudden move. The
German War Lord has at "last given

notice that the great Russian menace
overshadows all else. To many mili
tary critics he has given fresh proof
that Uermany believes the war will
be decided in the East rather than on
the Somme. In his hasty departure
for the Russian battle line, London
reads a tacit acknowledgement of the
danger which is confronting the Teu
tonic allies at almost every point along
the widc-flung front from Riga to the
Carpathian wall.
Driving a wedge of steel through
the breach he made yesterday in the
enemy's lines south of Riga, General
ivuropatKin today swept Von Hinden
burg's forces back along a front of 30
miles, and to a depth at one point of
miles. Iot since the great Russian
offensive began have the Czar's troops
won such a wide stretch of territory at
one stroke.
That reports of this important ad
vance have reached London only
inrougn unoriicial channels and are
not confirmed in any way by the Rus
sian official communiques is regarded
here as only natural. At the present
stage of the drive in the north, when
the German lines have not yet been
vitally crushed in. and the real crisis
of the battle is still to come, the policy
or the Russian command, it is pointed
out, would be to maintain strict silence.
The Czar is not claiming any victories
until he is certain they will not sud
denly be turned into routs.
Oesnlte the sucnesn of h "Rrltli
trobps in France and the interest whichJ
naturally attacnes to all their move
ments, the English people are now
dividing their attention between the
two great fronts. Admiration for the
Russians' success is growing daily, be
cause it is realized here that the Czar's
armies are facing assaults along a front
many times longer than the lines held
by the British and French soldiers.

The crowds had assembled long be

The casket was covered with three
floral designs only while the body lay

Policemen on duty at the Statehouse
estimated tonight that at least 60,000
persons passed through the corridors

RURAL CHURCH STUDIED
Lane County Survey Basis for Ar
riving at Problems.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGOX. Eugene.
Or., July 24. (Special.) With 60 In
attendance, the fourth annual Interde
nominational Conference for Ministers
opened on the university campus to
day. The opening session was devoted
to a general exposition of the Lane
County religious survey by Dr. A. A.
tserle, or Cambridge, Mass., director of
the conference.
The survey, which was made under
a resolution of last year's conference.
covers the religious situation in Lane
County outside of Eugene, and the
facts developed are being used as a
basis for arriving at a solution to the
problems encumbering the rural
church. The large proportion of de
clining churches brings seriously Into
question, according to Dr. Berle's open
ing add.'ess, the value of present evan
gelistic methods. In weeding through
the roll at his own chu-ch in Cam
bridge, he found 65 names of people
whom no one knew. They had been
added after a popular series of meet
ings and then dropped out of sight.
The various diseases of the rural
church as brought out in the survey
will be analyzed tomorrow by Dr. John
H. Boyd, of Portland: Dr. C. S. Swan
der, of Portland, and Dr. T. B. Ford.
of Salem, and other speakers.
A call was voiced by Rev. W. G.
Eliot, of Portland, for all of the de
nominations to hold next year's state
meetings together. Each denomination
would have its separate sessions. Join
ing with the others in a few central
meetings to take up the question on
which a united stand of all the regl
gious organizations Is needed."
