RETURNS FROM CUBA.
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

NEWS OF THE EAST SIDE

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

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."

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

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

ROCK ISLAND AGAIN.
Reported to Be Surveying- West of
Hantlaartoa Kott.
More reports concerning the Rock Island
surveyors have come In. 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

Tcachcm Want Places.
Applications for positions next term of
school already are flowing in. Usually
there are a few changes between1 terms,
because of resignations and. from, other
causes. This year the number giving up
positions Is relatively small, and the large
number already seeking positions will
mostly be disappointed. But few of the
corps of teachers employed during tho
past season have indicated a purpose of
leaving, and there will be very few
changes because of Incompetency, if any.
City Superintendent RIgler states that
it will hardly be worth the while of
many teachers to bank on new positions
next term, and piling up applications now
will be merely a waste of time and ink.
