THE SUNDAY OREGOSTAy, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 17, 1905. CALLS HIM ROBBER Seattle Minister Denounces Head of Standard Oil. WRONG TO TAKE MONEY If "Secretly or Unostentatiously" Given There Would Be 3fo Ob jection to Receipt of Coin "With the Taint. SEATTLE. "Wash., Sept 16. (Special.) Dr. M. A. Matthews, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, In commenting on the GadJcn resolution, takes occasion to crII John D. Rockefeller a robber and criminal. In an interview tonight he said: "I supnoK! that Dr. Gladden and his feliewers. In taking up the question, have In mind the findings of the Congressional eommmittee appointed some years ago, which declared that the Standard OH Company had cleaned up millions of dpi. Jar by means of monopoly, manipulation of stock and secret rebates. "In view of these fact, which were proved in court. Rockefeller Is nothing less tnan a robber, a criminal. I am speaking of Rockefeller, of course, pimply as the most conspicuous representative of a certain class of monopolists In this country. "T denounce Rockefeller as a criminal f.om the pulpit and then to accopt his contributions la manifestly wrong. To Itttwtratc, It would be wrong to vilify as a thlof a man who stole a steer and then to accopt a part of the beef. It would be equally Inconsistent to denounce a man as a thief unloe the statement could bo proved. "I think, as does Dr. Gladden, that there te no objection to accepting money from a thief, if secretly or unostentatiously given, but if. as In the case of Rockefel lor, it is given with a blare of trumpets and for missionary use In a field where Ids products are eold. the proposition as nos an ontlrely different aspect."

PhtnketL EXPECTS A LARGE ATTENDANCE President Fcrrln .Receives Numerous Inquiries Concerning; University. FOREST GROVE. Or., Sept. 16. (Special.) The Fall t'orm of Pacillc University will open Wednesday, Sep tember 26, and the prospect Is- good lor a large attendance the coming year, in the opinion of President Ferrln. There has been an unusual demand for catalogues and lltorature in regard to the college work during the Summer, and that is taken to moan that there will be a large number of new stu dents. Miss Haskell, the matron of the Herrick Hall, the dormitory for young ladies, reports that almost all the rooms there are already engagod. Later . applicants may have to take rooms out in town. The teaching force remains about the same .as during the previous years. The moat important change is in the department of English and public speaking. Professor Woods, who had charge of that the past year, resigned to accept a position In Northwostern University, Evanston, 111.. and is to be aucceoded by Victor E. Albright, whose home has been at Cranosville, W. Va. Professor Albright is a graduate of the Ohio Woslcyan University, receiv ing the degree of A. B. in 190L He sulHMMiuently took two courses In Eng lish in the Michigan State University at Ann Arbor. He took a special course at Harvard Colloge. in prep aration for college teaching, and re ceived the degroe of A. M. from that institution In 1904. Last yoar a series of three debates was scheduled with the University of Washington. In the first of those, held last Spring at Seattle, Pacific's toam was victorious, and the contest for the coming year is looked forward to with confidence. It Is believed tho addition of Professor Albright to the faculty vers materially strengthens the work of the university in the line of public speaking.

VANCOUVER, Wash., SepL 16. (Spe cial.) It Is expected that articles of in corporation for the Portland & Seattle Railway Company would be filed at the Auditor's office In this city, but inas much as they were delayed at Olympla' to await correction It is quite probable that this is the reason for their non appearance in this office. The auditorium in this city has been sold to private persons, but from further negotiations it is probable that the pur chasers, will try and sell the location to the Northern Pacific for a depot site. The crew working above this city Is In need of another launch to be used In transportation of their supplies, and ef forts were made yesterday to secure a suitable boat In this city. Although nothing definite can be learned regarding the bridge site yet, It Is almost definitely conceded from the plaa of the work that the bridge will cross from the foot of Eighth street, where the old pier was made, directly to Shaw's Island.

PINES ILL S Willamette Valley Growers Get Good Prices. CROP IS ONLY ONE-THIRD Stockholders of Association Hear Manager's Report of 1903 and 1901 and "Elect Officers for Ensuing Year. SALEM, Or., Sept. 16. (Special.) Prac tically all the prunes grown this year in the territory tributary to Salem have al ready been contracted or sold outright, at prices very satisfactory to growers. The basis price generally paid has been 2i conts, though a premium of U-cent was paid on the largest size. As a rule, the Italian prunes average in the 0-S0 size, thus giving the grower 44 cents a pound, or a fraction better, for his entire crop. There are a few orchards that have yielded prunes that will average 3W0 to the pound, thus giv ing the grower 5 cents a pound for his entire crop. Petite prunes In this vicinity generally average in the 60-60 size, making the av erage price for that variety 3?i cents a pound. Since the bulk of the crop was marketed, prices have stiffened a little. and orders have been rccolved here at a basis of 2Ji cents and even 3 cents. Manager H. S. GHe, of the Willametto Valley Prune Association, estimates the prune crop tributary to Salem at 75 caxa- loads. or three million pounds. Of this. 00,000 pounds are Potltes and the remain der Italians. The nrune croo of this- vicinity will therefore yield in the neigh borhood of 5125.000. The yield Is only about one-third of a normal crop. The stockholders of the Willamette Val ley Prune Association held an adjourned session of the annual meeting today and received the manager's report for 1MB and 1901. The report shows, among other things, that in the last two years the Association handled C.OOO.000 pounds of prunes. A stockholders' dividend of 10 per cent was ordered. The following di rectors were elected for the ensuing year: Lloyd T. Reynolds. John Pemborton. W. Crawford, B. J. Miles. H. S. GHe. TO GET VALUABLE FRANCHISE O. W. & P. Co.

Water Ceases to FIoit for a Time nnd Residents on the Bantu of the Iliver Fly In Terror SPOKANE. Wash.. Sept, IS. (Special.) At a point on the Snokane River 15 miles north of Davenport and 50 miles, northwest of this city, a huge landslldo tilled the channel of. the river and com pletely dammed the current for over an hour. The peculiar occurrence Is lo cated at what la known as the "Big Slide." on the south bank otx the river, below the E. R. Laughon ranch. At this point, the river, which is over M0 feet wide, cuts through a high, sand hill. From time to time portions of this sand mountain break looee and slide into the river, hundreds of feet below. In thto instance, a great chunk of the moun tain, carrying rocks- and giant trees, gave way, and in a few minutes formed a dam that would have cost JSOO.OOO if built by skilled engineers. Persons walked back and forth on this dam. The water rose above and finally worked a channel ! through new territory on tho Indian res ervation aide. Tho dam held and there was no flood following. The river below went completely dry for a time, and the mystery bothered residents whose homca were below.

The bitter rate war on between boats running out of Seattle to the Pugot Sound Navy-yard nas reached such an acute stage that rival boats are giving away premiums to passengers.
