THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUATJT 7, 1900.
YOUNG ORAfORS DEBATE
aiERITS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN
QUESTION DISCUSSED.
Speakers Were Selected From Port
land University and Portland High
School Former Were Victorious.
The trouble in the Transvaal "was set
tled last night, at least so far as the
Portland high school is concerned. The
defeat occurred at the assembly hall of
the high school, and the occasion ttos
the first debate between the Columbian
Society, of the Portland university, and
the To-X.Oelon Society, of the Portland
high school. The question -was discussed
In this Xormr
''Resolved, That the recent action taken
by England in interfering with the local
government of the Boers is justifiable."
The Columbian, society affirmed and the
To-Ix)geion denied.. Professor Edward
Maslin Hulme was chairman and Milton
W. Smith, Judge M. C. George and B. E.
Swell were judges.
The decision was awarded to the affirm
ative, by a vote of two to one. When
Judge George announced the -verdict, there
was -considerable surprise shown and ex
pressed by the audience, who expected a
different verdict
The audience was a large one, the hail
being literally packed, and high school
girls being much in e'idence. The speak
ers were attentively listened to, and the
audience was by no means sparing with
applause. As a rule, the men would
stamp their feet in approval of a good
point made and the young women and
school girls would clap their hands when
a budding young orator would give his
hair a particularly graceful flourish or
when there was a particularly pretty In
tonation of the voice.
Herman Allen, of the affirmative, opened
the debate. He reviewed the history of
South Africa, from the time Cape Col
ony was settled by the Dutch in 1652;
spoke of the decline of the Dutch in the
latter part of the 18th century, and of the
xjruelty of the Dutch to their slaves. Eng
land, he said, stepped in at this time.
ICapoleon was defeated, and Cape Colony
fell into English hands. He described
the three great treks and gave causes
for them, and went into details on the dif
ferent treaties with England. One of his
strong points was that the British did
treat the Boers fair and that under Eng
lish rule all nationalities are treated alike
and are given the franchise.
Earl Parker, of the To-X.ogelon, spoke
first on the negative. He said the Boer
government was democratic in Cape Col
ony and was satisfactory until the English
introduced a military rule. He described
the first great trek to the north, and
gave as one of the causes of South Afri
can trouble the misdirected zeal of the
missionaries. England's cct In making the
Boers restore to the Kaffirs conquered
territory was mentioned, and the trek
across the river Taal. He described the
convention of 1SS4, which gave England
suzerainty over the country, and which was
never ratified. He denied that such suzer
ainty existed. Said that it was made null
and void by the treaty of 18S4, which gave
England no right to meddle in Transvaal
affairs. Mr. Parker closed his argument
by asking the affirmative 10 questions,
among which were: Why was the treaty of
1881 annulled? Why was not the suzer
ainty of England mentioned in the treaty
of 1884? Why did Lord Derby and Cham
berlain both say that the suzerainty of
England was dropped by the treaty of
1SS4, and why did England refuse to ar
bitrate the trouble?
Charles Guy Wakefield was the next
speaker. He argued that England's occu
pation of Cape Colony was just, and spoke
of Boer unrest prior to British rule. He
said slavery and not oppression was the
cause of the trek; that the Boers did not
form a republic in 18S1; that the Jameson
raid was not an attempt to bring the
Transvaal under British rule; that the
Transvaal, when free, was unable to gov
ern itself; that England never started out
grabbing for territory; that the Boers were
a hindrance to the development of South
Africa; that England was only defending
her citizens, and that her defense of her
colonies was right.
George Hart followed in what was de
cidedly the best speech of the evening, for
the negative. He dealt xvlth the alleged
grievances of the Ultlanders. Dynamite
-was one. He said an American mining
engineer was appointed to examine It, and
that the material Tvas considerably cheaper
in the Transvaal than at the Ximberley
mines, In English territory. No discrimi
nation Is made between the Boers and
Ultlanders. All pay alike. The monopoly
dates before the convention, and England
tacitly approved of It then. He said the
Dutch had a right to teach what language
they pleased in the state schools; that
they didn't object to English schools If
the Ultlanders wished to pay for them.
In regard to political gatherings being
prohibited, he said they were not objected
to until hired agents of the South African
Chartered Company began their seditious
agitations. He mentioned such meetings
being forcibly suppressed in Ireland. Re
garding aliens having no voice in levying
taxes, he said such was the case in the
United States and all other countries. The
same argument applied to the Jury system
of the Boers. In what country, he asked,
are criminals tried by alien jurors?
He dwelt at length on the alleged peti
tion of the Ultlanders, and then took up
another English grievance the import du
ties. Here Mr. Hart made use of the
"deadly parallel," showing the duties on
the necessities of life to be higher in Cape
Colony than in the Transvaal.
Omar Corwln Spencer came next, and
advocated the rights of the English. He
said the history of the Boers had always
heen one of unrest, and that they had al
ways refused to live within the pale of
civilized government. As did the preced
ing speakers, Mr. Spencer referred to the
great treks, the different treaties with
Great Britain, the discovery of gold in
the Transvaal and the subsequent rush of
Ultlanders to that territory. The Boer,
he said, always retrograded and looked
with envy on the advent of civilization.
He compared him with the North Ameri
can Indianfand said the course now pur
sued by Great Britain had been taken by
the United States In regard to Cuba, Puer
to Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, "and
Tvho," he cried, "dare Insinuate that we
are grabbing out for territory?"
Mr. Spencer was followed by William
Killingsworth, of the To-Logeion Society.
He made an -earnest, logical speech. He
began by saying that the treaty of 1SS1
was not ratified by the Transvaal govern
ment, and was", therefore, null and void.
Even had it ever been in force, it was
minified by the treaty of 1884, which did
not refer to any suzerainty of Great Brit
ain. England, he said, claimed to be fight
ing for the oppressed. Why has she not
heard the cries of the oppressed Dutch in
British Guiana? Mr. Killingsworth divided
his speech In three subjects, which he han
dled separately; First, the franchise; sec
ond, the convention of 18S4, and the viola
tion of that treaty by the English; third,
the alleged suzerainty of the English. The
speaker's peroration was eloquent and
forceful, and his arraignment of the Eng
lish in their alleged violation of treaty
rights was severe.
Mr. Wakefield replied in rebuttal. He
recapitulated the arguments of his col
leagues, and said English supremacy in
South Africa would be a benefit to hu
manity. That conditions worse than sla
very existed, and the Boers had violated
the spirit, if net the letter of all the trea
ties. He asserted that the Jameson raid
was entirely: 'personal matter, and there
was no desire on England's part to grab
territory. In conclusion, he said it would
be just and right for the Boers to give
way to English civilization even if they
did own the country.
Professor 'Hulme stated that another de
bate would "bo had next Saturday night
between the two societies. This question
will be discussed:
"Resolved, That the immigration of Il
literate foreigners be prohibited."
FOUND HEPPKER GUILTY.
Judsre Hennessy Fines Him for Vio
lating: Insurance Ordinance.
Judge Hennessy yesterday decided that
H. A. Heppner was subject to city license
as an Insurance broker, and fined him ?10
for refusing to' .pay" the license fee to
Deputy License Collector Rogoway. The
Judge gave his views on the matter as
follows:
"The defendant Is charged with violat
ing an ordinance of the city of Portland
which compels insurance brokers to pay
a license. The ordinance defines an Insur
ance broker to be a person or firm repre
senting one or more .insurance companies.
It is admitted that the defendant repre
sents an insurance company and solicits
insurance and that he gets his commis
sions from the company.
"In addition to the definition in the or
dinance above referred to, the Fourth
American and English Encyclopedia of
Law, page SG& defines a broker as an
agent employed to make bargains and con
tracts between other persons in matter
of trade, commerce, etc., for a compensa
tion. Tt6eems to me both under the definition
in the ordinance and the legal publication
to which I have referred, the defendant Is
a broker.
"The defendant further contends that
the general Insurance law passed by the
legislature of 1899 Is amendatory of the
charter, and takes its place, and there
fore the city has no further right to
license or tax Insurance agents or brok
ers. I do not believe this Is the law. Only
recently our supreme court decided in
the case of Ladd vs. Gambell, city auditor,
that the Bancroft bonding act was not
amended or repealed by the charter passed
in 1S9S, which seemed to have purposely
omitted all reference thereto. The plain
tiff in that case contended that said act
was repealed by implication, which Is the
same contention made by the defendant In
this case. The supreme court held that
repeals by Implication are not favored, and
that if two laws upon the same or similar
subjects can both stand, they will be up
held. "This disposes of the two contentions
of the defendant I desire further to state
that it Is a general rule of statutorycon
structlon that all laws and ordinances
will be upheld when such can be reason
ably done. The acts of the legislature
have been passed by the representatives
of the people, and are to be sustained, un
less they violate some constitutional pro
vision. To declare an act unconstitutional
or without force Is a serious matter for
any court, and I do not believe should
be done, unless it is shown to be such be
yond any reasonable doubt."

MAY GO TO GLASGOW.
Portland Man Slated as Commission
er to "World's Fair.
According to dispatches from Washing
ton, M. Mulr Picken, a Portland business
man, has been united on by the Oregon
delegation in congress for one of the com
missioners from the United States to the
exposition at Glasgow, next year. Be
sides this recommendation, It Is under
stood that Mr. Picken has the backing
of representatives from one or two other
Western states, and of a number of men
who stand high with the administration.
The commission to visit Glasgow will be
composed of a general commissioner and
three others; one" from the East, one from
the Middle "Wes't, and one from the Pacific
coast.
Mr. Picken Is particularly well fitted for
the position. He Is a native of Scotland
having been born in Ayrshire. He came to
America in 1SS2; to the Pacific coast In
18S4, and to Portland In 1887. He was edu
cated in the profession of mining engi
neer, and worked at that business until
six or seen years ago, when he took up
mercantile pursuits. He Is at present with
the firm of T. M. Sinclair & Co., 50 Front
street.
The Importance of having the Pacific
Northwest represented on this commission
is apparent Great Britain, and especially
Scotland, Is a large purchaser of Oregon
and Washington exports, and their capi
talists are ready to Invest In mining en
terprises in this section. Mr. Picken is
thoroughly Informed regarding the re
sources and products of this section as
well as of the entire country, and for
this reason those -who know him are urg
ing his appointment.
PERMANENT EXHIBIT.
Committees Intend to Complete Can.
vass for Funds Tomorrow.
Real, persistent work will begin tomor
row on raising funds for establishing In
Portland a permanent exhibit of the prod
ucts of the state.
A joint meeting was held yesterday of
the committees representing the Chamber
of Commerce, the board of trade, the Man
ufacturers Association and the state
board of horticulture. It was resolved
at once to push the permanent exhibit
project, and subcommittees were appointed
as follows:
Messrs. MoMasters and Connell, to can

Smith to canvass among the wholesalers.
Messrs. Holman and Batchelder, to can
vass among the department stores, the
larger retailers and the breweries.
Messrs. Grindstaff and Dosch, to canvass

There is a balance of $1200 to be raised
to complete the $2500 needed to establish
a permanent exhibit, and the members of
the subcommittees express confidence in
their ability to raise it all in one day.
They are workers, and since the Manufac
turers' Association indorsed the project
and joined In pushing the work, the pros
pects have become brighter. The com
mittees will begin work in earnest to
morrow forenoon.
If the canvass is a success, the perma
nent exhibit will be opened up at once in
a central part of the business section of
Portland.

DRIVING ASSOCIATION'S VIEWS ON
MACADAM ROAD.
Tney Thinlc the Track Would Seri
ously Interfere With, the Drive,
-way City Engineer's Views.
An encroachment on Portland's only
convenient driveway, the Macadam road,
by the street-car lines, will be fought to
the bitter end by the Multnomah Driving
Association. This fact was apparent at
a meeting held in the office of Cake &
Cake last evening to consider the pro
posed Corbett-street extension of the City
& Suburban, which was authorized by
the council some time past. It seems
that the rallroa.1 company has the priv
ilege of occupying the Macadam road only
if they are unable to construct their road
through on Virginia street. What degree
of cost shall he considered an effectual
obstruction In the meaning of the ordi
nance so that the Macadam road may bo
used, Is not specified. At the meeting last
evening a committee of five prominent
members of the driving association was
appointed to keep the matter in hand, and
Bee that no stone is left unturned to keep
the railway track off the drive.
President H. C. Breeden occupied the
chair, while Secretary Gus Rosenblatt at
tended to the duties of his office. Several
members of the association, besides City
Engineer W. B. Chase and Councilman
Jameson, who had been invited, were pres
ent. The president explained the object
of the special meeting to be consideration
of the possible encroachment on Macadam
road, and Invited discussion as to what
the assocation had best do to prevent It
H. M. Cake first addressed the meeting,
with more particular reference to the ju
dicial aspect of the situation. Macadam
road is a county thoroughfare, still un
der the control and direction of the county
commissioners, and Mr. Cake thought the
only effect of the council's franchise was
to give the railroad the privilege of oc
cupying the road If no objection were
made by the county commissioners. It
was not a right, the speaker said. The
passage of the ordinance was considered
Illegal, also, as the matter was reopened
for the vote of a councilman In the affirm
ative after it had been dropped. Mr.
Cake thought it an outrage on the people
that this drive should be obstructed, and
probably ruined, by the street-car fran
chise, when the track could be laid along
Virginia street, without impairing the
privilege of horsemen and traffic going in
that direction. In his opinion the railway
should continue along Virginia street to
the Taylor Ferry road.
A. B. Ferrera spoke briefly, stating that
he was present when the matter was first
brought up in the council, and afterwards
Interviewed large numbers of the property-owners
and persons affected, with the
result of finding there was almost uni
versal objection to the railway occupying
the driveway on Macadam road. If the
track shall be laid on the road, there
will be left only 30 feet for the main road,
bicycle track and gutter, which he re
garded as Inadequate space for a pleasure
drive and business thoroughfare. Besides,
If the cars were close against the drive
way, horses would become frightened, and
thus the road would have to be aban
doned. If the track were laid two Or three
blocks back of Macadam road, in the
speaker's mind it would have a tendency
to develop a country now but little used,
and thus benefit the district, Instead of
seriously Injuring it by forcing away
travel.
Judge A. H. Tanner was of the same
opinion. He voiced the sentiment of Mr.
Cake as to the necessity of the association
acting Immediately and strenuously, it
necessary, to prevent the road being de
stroyed as a driveway. Ho thought a
committee should be appointed to preserve
whatever rights the association possessed,
and bring to bear all possible influence in
favor of retaining this picturesque sec
tion. He also questioned the right of the
city to grant a franchise over a county
road. The county commissioners were
the only persons having jurisdiction in the
premises. If the railway was operated
along the road, in the mind of the speak
er, the driveway would have to be aban
doned. A property-owner of the section affected,
H. C. Leonard, voiced the sentiments of
the members of the association. He had
always taken a great Interest In the drive
way, and believed all efforts should now
be made to prevent the car line from
getting on Macadam road. The street
west was just as good for a car line, and
all the property-owners in that district,
so far as he liad learned, were In favor
of holding the railway off the driveway.
From City Engineer Chase it was learned
that the franchise was alternate in its
privileges. It was for a track down Vir
ginia street, but If this could not be used,
then the track could be laid down below
on Mocadam road. The degree of diffi
culty to be met with on Virginia street
before the change could be made, was not
specified, nor the person to judge whether
a track on Virginia street was possible.
Mr. Chase held he had been very reliably
informed by the property-owners and per
sons interested In the railroad company
that there was no desire to get down on
Macadam road. Representatives of the
City & Suburban had said that the road
would operate better above. As to whether
the council had the right of granting a
franchise on a county road, Mr. Chase
said the rule was that the council had
no jurisdiction over county roads until
they were taken possession of by the city.
Past experience demonstrated that tho
county commissioners were willing to sur
render their control to the city whenever
any desire was shown on the part of the
city to possess it While the action of
the council in this case might not be a
legal right for tho railroad to occupy
Macadam road, it could be construed by
the county commissioners as an act of
possession justifying their surrendering
control.
Councilman Jameson Informed the asso
ciation that he had opposed the street
car line occupying the road, and would
aid them in any manner possible to keep
the track off. He further stated that In
Ills opinion the ordinance was invalid ow
ing to technical defects at the time of its
passage, which consisted In the reopen
ing of the case for an affirmative vote,
without giving those who had changed
their minds opportunity to so express
themselves by ballot.
In view of the fact that the railroad
people were not now intending to occupy
Macadam road, no Immediate action was
thought necessary. That nothing would
be overlooked, however, Mr. Wilson moved
that a committee of well-Informed mem
bers be appointed to keep the matter thor
oughly in mind. For this committee the
president selected Messrs. Cake, Kimball,
Leonard, Ferrera and Judge Tanner.
C. A Lohmlre brought a matter to the
attention ,of members which, 'though not
pertinent to the meeting last evening, will
be taken up in due time. This was to
have the matter of improving the Macad
am for a first-class driveway brought
to the attention of the state legislature.
He spoke of the scenic beauties of the
road, Its accessibility to the city, and the
large sums that were being expended by
other cities in the same work. He said
New York had laid out over 52,000,000 for a
fine driveway, and that San Francisco
would, during the next five years, expend
probably ?5,000,000 In the same manner.
Secretary Rosenblatt stated that this sub
ject had been considered, and would be
taken up in formal manner In time for
tho next meeting of the legislature.

BUTTER CASE GOES OVER.
Judgre Hennessy Reserves His Decis
ion Until Tuesday.
The process butter case came up for
trial In the municipal court yesterday
morning, and Judge Hennessy, after hear
ing the testimony and arguments, con
cluded to reserve his decision until next
Tuesday.
The roll of butter over which the case
was started by Food Commissioner Bailey
was purchased by him at the grocery of
H. tHewltt," and Mr. Hewitt was placed
on the "stand as the first witness for the
state. He said he had purchased the but
ter from Page & Son, and that It was
good and sweet; and that his customers
liked it so well that it was difficult to in
duce them to try any other brand. .'
Mr. Bailey said he had sent the sample
in question to the state chemist at Cor
vallls, who Immediately certified to Its
being process butter. Mr. Bailey did not
purchase any of the butter from Page &
Son, he explained, as the firm did only a
wholesale business, and would not sell
less than a" case.
Professor Shaw, state chemist, testified
that he had tested the butter to see
whether It was oleomargarine or "pro
cess," and found 'that It belonged to the
latter class. He simply used a test tube
several Inches long. The tube containing
the sample Is held over a gas-jet Pure
butter will create considerable foam and
little crackling noise, while process but
ter shows little foam, but makes consid
erable noise. Process butter Is a decoc
tion of old, rancid butter, through which
sweet milk Is mixed by a certain process.
There are several different processes pat
ented. The defendants testified that the butter
in question had been purchased by them
as the best Iowa creamery, last June, and
they were not aware of Its being process
butter. They had paid 18 cents a pound,
which was the highest wholesale price
for creamery butter at that time, and the
firm from which It was bought sold It
as the best creamery butter. The defend
ants further stated that they had never
bought a pound of process butter.

PROSPEROUS GILLIAM COUNTY
Condon Editor Says Prospects Are
Exceedingly Good.
S. A. Pattlson, of the Condon Globe,
who was in Portland yesterday, thinks
Gilliam county is well along in the swim
of prosperity, notwithstanding the low
price of wheat. Crops never looked so
forward at this time of yfar, he says,
and a large number of new settlers have
located In the Ferry canyon country, with
in the past year. Although considerable
land is yet open for homesteaders in the
southern end of Gilliam, he thinks an
other twelvemonth will see it all taken
up by bona fide settlers.
Condon people are by no means uneasy
over the prospect of removal of the county
seat, as the bulk of population Is adjacent
to Condon, and the present county seat
would therefore be retained by a good
majority, should the question come be
fore the voters again.
Gilliam county has about the smallest
debt of any county in Oregon, which has
any debt at all, as the amount of out
standing warrants is only about J5000. The
scrip, therefore, sells readily at par, and
the county's credit is good. No court
houso has yet been erected in Condon,
though if it were not for the loss of sev
eral townships to the new county of
Wheeler last winter, a" courthouse would
have been erected ere this. Although the
citizens of Gilliam county are not In any
rush about erecting county buildings, he
expects to see a neat courthouse adorn
ing the town ere long.
On coming down through the rich wheat
growing section known as Schuttler Flat,
Mr. Pattison noticed that considerable
wheat was on the point of "jointing," but
had fortunately been set back by a few
nights' frost. Nothing can prevent a
splendid crop In Gilliam county In 1900,
he thinks, except a very unfavorable
spring, which the farmers up there are
not worrying themselves about.
DRIFT BREAKS AWAY.
Largo Mass Leaves Madison-Street
Bridge for Astoria,
The bulk of the drift raft which had
been lodged against the "east en of the
Madison-street bridge was sent down
stream in a body yesterday afternoon, as
soon as a gap 200 feet wide was made by
pulling the piling out of the way. A
steam tug hitched to several of the logs
from the lower side, and nearly half an
acre of dead trees followed the leader
like a flock of sheep. A number of
beach-combers who were lying in wait
In small boats below found the mass
too large to handle, and so contented
themselves with (rescuing an occasional
log from the liberated drift, which evinced
a determination to pursue its course to
the sea Intact
The second span from the east side Is
now self-supporting, as the new truss
is in position, but the deck and side
walks are yet to be laid. The force was
yesterday engaged In setting up new tim
bers on the span next the foot of Haw
thorne avenue, and in driving additional
piling to support the, third span, while
the work of renewal goes on. A sign to
wheelmen at each end of the torn-up
portion of the bridge oreads: "Wheelmen
dismount before crossing the span. By
order of the county court."
