Mrs. Weatherred Wot Favorably Im pressed With, the Natives. After nearly three months' absence, dur ing which a tour of the United States was made and Cuba visited, Mrs. Edytk Tozler Weatherred has returned to Port land. Mrs. Weatherred and Miss Evelyn Steel were the only members of the Ore gon " Press Association who fully carried out the itinerary outlined for the members of the Press Association when they departed last March, and many Interesting stories are told of strange sights and cordial wel comes given wherever the word "Oregon" became known. That reception given the Press Association by Oregon a year ago is bearing fruit. In Boston, Mrs. Weath. erred was royally banquetted by the members of the Press Association as a mark of appreciation of Oregon's hospi tality. In Wisconsin a Yiewspaper man candidly admitted the trip of the Press Association to the Northwest had' Injured the Interests of his own state, for he knew of five well-to-do families who had come to Oregon since as a result. Mrs. Weatherred utilized every oppor tunity to further advertise her state. Throughout the South, she said, hotel clerks Introduced men who were anxious for an Interview as soon as they learned she was from Oregon and the Northwset. She displayed a splendid mineral exhibit In Now Orleans during the Mardi Gras. which proved an immense attraction. The big Southern exposition at the same city immediately following had the mineral dis play as an attraction, and It drew great crowds. People there are eager to learn everything possible about the great Pacific Northwest and the rich territory of Alas ka. In this connection Mrs. Weatherred deftly distributed much advertising lit erature without manifesting any purpose to do so. All the old Southern battle-grounds con- venlent to the Journey across to- the At lantic Coast were vtelted. Both the east and wast coasts of Florida were traversed. From Tampa the two tourists sailed to Havana on the famed hospital-ship Oli vette, touching at Key West on the way. At Havana political and social conditions were mostly studied, with frequent inspec tion of historic or characteristic land marks. Mrs. Weatherred Is firmly con vinced the Cubans possess little merit. "They do not progress like they were expected to," said she. "They are lazy, treacherous and undesirable as citizens. One purpose seems to animate them self government for which they are wholly incapable, and I 'believe It will be some time before they acquire such qualities. A Spaniard frankly told me that his peo ple were benefited by the war more than the Cubans, and appreciated the changed conditions. Their property was now pro tected, their rights secured, sanitary meas ures were adopted In the cities, and edu cation was facilitated. Spaniards realize that hy standing with the Americans they will still further be benefited. 'They would make a desirable class of citizens, for they are intelligent ana appreciative. individual, or small, capital, has no business In Cuba. The onlv onenlno- large plantations, where much money has to be spent in developing and maintaining, but big returns are secured. The pin ion of Americans and Spaniards is that the sooner the question of control Is set tled and the Americans take hold, the better it will be for the industrial situa tion. They think this will ultimately come. People are fast losing sympathy PRES1DING BISHOPS' TABLE, M. E. CONFERENCE.

There Is no use to en lighten them industrially, as all they can do is pick cocoanuts and strip tobacco leavee, which they have done for centur ies. Considerable effort is being, made to extend educational Influences, and while I was in Boston, 200 of the Cuban teach ers to be educated in Harvard this Sum mer arrived. The Boston people took great interest In them." The tourists got away from Havana Just 12 hours before the place was quar antined. They passed through Washing ton, New York, Boston, Rochester, Buf falo. Niagara, Chicago. St. Paul, Minne apolis, Toronto, Cincinnati, Louisville, then over the Northern Pacific to the Sound and down home. They went away through California and Arizona, so their trip made a square of the United States, which they cut in the middle by the trip down the Mississippi. DAILY CITY STATISTICS.

AxailaMlitr ef tk Portland Hos pital Property Sale ef tae Odd Fellows' Paras. Now that the Odd Fellows of Portland have secured the permanent location, of the Orphans' Home, the next move on the part of the committee having the se lection of the location will be to find the right place. Portland Odd Fellows have raised $4000 toward the establishment of the home here, and this sum will be used in connection with what will be realized from the sale of the Orphans Home farm at Falrview. The farm was purchased about 12 years ago at & low price, end "has wu? rvriirrt jw "Hv eAtnA .. l. ..11 ik. time, and there has been some Income from it. But the most important matter connected with it is that It has been considerably Improved and has Increased in value. It is & beautiful farm, and the committee win likely be able to find a purchaser whenever they get ready to sell It. It is understood that the form la to be sold. A prominent Odd Fellow living on tha East Side calls attention to the availability of the Portland Hospital prop- wmssssfe feature of tfc closing cere erty as the proper place, not only for the home, but for an Odd Fellows Hospital as well. It has just been vacated by the Portland University. There are three acres In the grounds, and this member of tho order thinks that if the property be with.n the reach of the committee they could not do better than negotiate for it. Ho thinks the Odd Fellows of the state, and particularly of Portland, should pro Mae a hospital, as well as a home, and. combine the homo with such an institu tion. "The hospital building and grounds would be suitable for our purposes," he said yesterday, "and the home and hos pital could be run together, although sep arately on the grounds. We are called on constantly to take care of members from other sections, and If we had this building, which is in every way fitted, we could take care of them ourselves. I hope to see an effort made to secure this prop erty anyway." "Our Farthest American Outpost." Dr. J. J. Walter, superintendent of Meth odist missions in Alaska, who is spending a few weeks at his East Side home, with his wife, who Is recovering from her re--ent illness, will talk this evening at cen tenary Church, on "Our Farthest Amer ican Outposts, or Methodism Among the Icebergs." Dr. Waiter has spent a year and a half In Alaska, during which time he has established the McCabe College at Skagway and has a fine granite college nearlng completion. He has also visited the quartz mines, the Indian tribes and made a special examination of the re sources of Alaska, and hence Is well fitted to talk Intelligently about that wonder land. Dr. Walter also "has a very fine collection of Indian curios and Indian handiwork, which ho gathered himself, and which will be used In illustrating his lecture. He will tell about Its re sources and natives, and explain their pe culiar customs and traditions. Dr. Wal ter has an abldlne faith in fh t, of Alaska, and is brim full of enthusiasm uver nis own work there. There Will Be Music. Tomorrow evening residents will call at the homo of Henry S. Rowe.

Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co. First and Taylor Streets CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. Annasl Communion at Boston and Mrs. Eddy's Message. Boston Herald, June -C The annual communion of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, the "mother church" of Christian Science, was cele brated yesterday in the edifice at the corner of Norway and Falmouth streets. Five times was the spacious audi torium occupied by an overflowing con gregation, the service being repeated un til all who wished had been afforded en opportunity to worship at this ehrino of their faith, and enjoy religious fellowship with its widely scattered membership. This "mother church" membership is unique In Its character. The congrega tion was the first gathered In the name of Christian Science. Its founder and first pastor was the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy. The ground upon which this edifice stands was her gift to the con gregation, and the structure was erected as a loving testimonial 'to ber from her followers. Out from this first church went the in fluence of the leader 0f the movement which now claims to hae reached 1,000,0) men and women In all parts of the world. All other churches of the denomination are Its offspring. In order that the sacred relationship between this cradle of the faith and the distant dwelling followers of Christian Science may have the more sig nificance. It has been ordained that any Christian Scientist, living ho matter where, may hold membership In the "mother church" and have a vo!c In the direction of Its affairs. These members, dwelling In far-off places, worship ordinarily' In the temples near their homes; but once a year as many of them as can Journey to Boston to com mune In the "mother church." The serv ice Is a simple one. with little ceremony and no ecclesiastical pomp whatever. The distinctive mission of Christian Science Is to oppose materialism, and even in Its communion service It emphasizes the spir itual by the absence of the bread and wine. At these annual gatherings the service is almost the same as an ordinary Sun day service in one of the churches. The communion consists of a few moments of solemn silence, devoted to Introspec tive thought and prayer to God. fol lowed by the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer, with the Christian Sci ence Interpretation from , the denomina tional text-book. The only other devia tion from the ordinary Toutlne is the substitution of the anual message of Mrs. Eddy for the usual lereon. Despite the absence of epectacnlarlsm and stirring Incident at thee annual gatherings, tho throng which coms from distant states and lanto grows greater every vear. Tcs-erday com munion drew the largest hot, of Chrta- iian scientists that ever aymMed In Boston. It was th first time that flvn services were needed to accommodate tho who came to worship.

One authority declares that the surveying corps prac tically completed their survey to Port land some time ago. and have been work ing east from here. If this is true, they have certainly performed their work adroitly not to have been discovered here before. The last heard of the corps, it was working west of Huntington. Ono man who saw the party declares that the party had a large tent and a goodly num ber of men. He denied the possibility of their having been men in the employ of the O. R. & N., but Insists that they are Rock Island men, and that they are pro ceeding at a rate of not less than 15 miles per day. Well-defined marks upon trees showed the route they are following. They have been laying preliminary lines along the John Day River, and It is now said the company will throw a bridge over the Columbia near the point of conflu ence with the John Day, that being a narrow point. INSPECTION TOUR. Southern Pacific Officials Proceeded to Albany Yesterday. The Southern Pacific officials, who are making a tour of Inspection of the com pany's system, commenced their second day yesterday. They went out over the East Side, proceeding as far as Albany, where they laid over last night. Their work yesterday included the Woodburn and Springfield branches. Today the en tire party will proceed south over the main line, of which they will probably cover 200 miles. Yesterday morning General Manager Kruttschnltt arrived here from San Fran. Cisco, met the other officials and went out with them. It Is probable that Manager Koehler and Superintendent Fields, of the lines in Oregon, will remain with the oth ers for about a week, extending their tour over several divisions of the lines In Cali fornia. Among those In the party were: Divis ion Superintendents J. H. Thompson, J. Li. Frazler, J. A. Mulr, James Agler, J. B. Wright, D. Burkhalter and J. S. Noble. Of the malntenance-of-way officials were: W. G. Curtis, chief engineer; J. H. Wal lace, assistant chief engineer, their re spective assistants, and 10 or a dozen di vision engineers.
