Business? i.r writer has read -with Interest the report of your correspondent relative to the Sllverton meeting .held under the auspices of. the Willamette Development league, and especially, that ptfrt which had reference to the "Brewer's Address iot Appreciated." Boing the "brewer referred to will account for the Interest am now displaying in addressing you the subject. it appears that criticism wa6 made be- IcauFe of the topic I chose, namely., the 'business I was engaged in and the effect the local-option law had upon the same. I herewith quote a part of the criticism: "The protest voiced last night and to day is based upon the ground that -this subject was nor a proper one to present. On the platform were the members of a church choir, who were participating in the exercises and men who cannot ac cept the brewery man's views were prominent in the proceedings." .Just preceding this was the statement: cNo censure Is heard concerning the tone of the address." The writer is very much surprised to hear that perhaps he has misinterpreted the objects and purposes of the meetings Ibf the Development League, and in order to be set right In the matter, refers me same to you. well knowing that fairness and fearlessness of stand has always characterized the position of The Oregon ian in all matters of public interest. I therefore respectfully ask you: If the meeting of the Development League was not "the proper place to pre sent this subject." one -which was of such tal importance to Industries in this state as set forth in my address. T onrlose you my address in full in order that ou may inform yourself accord ingly In regard to the statement made relR tie to the "members of the church choir who participated in the exercises." I cer tainH cannot understand how my words should offend them. Neither disrepect nor irreverence for tilings that are sacred yere shown by me, either Intentionally or otherwise. 1 might add that I am my self a member of an Episcopal choir and have the deepest of reverence for the work of the church as taught by the 1 fc and doctrine of Jesus Christ. Sincerely trusting that you will en lighten yourself as well as many others as deeply concerned, through the oolumns of The Oregonlan. I remain, with re spectful regards, yours truly. F. G. DECKEBACH. Vice-President Salem Brewing Ass'n. The full toxt of Mr. Deckcbach's ad dress Is: , Mr Chairman, Members of This Conven- '-iti and Ladies and Gentlemen: J have had Ik pleasure of attending several of the "meetings of the Development League that hae been held during the past six months rand have been greatly interested In the tork done and matters discussed at these tneetlngs. Especially have I been Inter ested in the recommendation for legislation Ulong the Jin ex that tended toward the 'hulldlng up of the state's interests and In dustries At the same time 1 could not help hut realize that while the Development League was earnestly seeking to encourage r.tw enterprises and otherwise do all that It ould in fostering a broad and progressive spirit, it practically overlooked legislation tvat uas already upon our statute books, ar.d which was today doing probably much tard tearing down and discouraging al rradj established Industries and the further Investment of capital along those lines. 1 refer, namely, to the brewing business. Jn which I have the honor of being en gaged, and the kindred, bus.lnes.sos that are directly and indirectly connected with the xame The brewing business has always In t le past been looked upon as an eminently legitimate industry In this country and Eu r pe When our, pilgrim forefathers landed en the shores of this country they brought with them their beer, and even during the early history of the colonies and this coun try some of the New England States passed peclat legislation exempting breweries from taxation, in order that thereby they might .. rrourage the building or them in this coun ts let In this Ktate there is at the presert time a law in existence, viz.. the local-option 'aw that gives to a small number of people In any precinct where a brewery Is located, the power to put it out of business at any e eitlon, and. to all Intents and purposes, thereby confiscate the properly used for that purpose. What Irony is covered by the statements, so often made, that Oregon takes great pride in being the greatest hop producing community in the United States, when one realizes that Oregon is doing Us lery utmost to absolutely kill the brewing business. However, that is the present con dition of affairs. Not another dollar will be- invested In the brewing business, the malting business, coop erage and many other enterprises closely allied to the first-named, as long as the local-option law remains upon our statute books In Its present form. The State of Washington has been more fortunate in its legislation. It has no such drastic measure upon Its htatute books. The consequence Is that It has far outstripped this state, not onl In the brewing business, but In many father lines. When I first came to Washing ton In territorial days we always looked upon Oregon as a kind of foster father. It had been a state for many years, and we were rt in our Infancy. How different It Is to day Even in the hrewlng business the rhange has been most remarkable. Oregon supplied all of Washington's wants 15 years ago Today we find that the Increase in rewlnR In the State of Washington for the jiast vear and a half Is greater than Ore yon s entire output. Washington during the last few years hRs foul t many malt houses, glass factories for the making of beer bottles, cooperage and Jbox factories, cold-storage and warehouses, laslde from greatly enlarging the brewing business Itself. Of course this docs not In- rlude the vast benefits derived by the sup ply houses and other businesses that deal Kvlth the brewing trade. ( It Is now a little over two years since our (people concluded to build up a business in ithls state. When I first visited Oregon I faw the state through the portals of the Willamette Valley. To a man living in the t western part of Washington, this valley , poked like paradise. Its opportunities for a reat and prosperous future appeared cer tain. I could not help but note that lb ere was almost twice aB much open, fertile agri cultural land In the Willamette Valley than there Is In the whole of Western Washing ton I was surprised to see what little real progress had been made when I considered that for nearly 50 years Oregon had been a state Enthused with the spirit that Is nat ural to one who has lived on Puget Sound It teemed to me that this valley, were It lo cated In Western Washington near Seattle. It certainly could have had over 1,000,000 Inhabitants. Hardly had we built our enterprise and invested about $100,000 In the venture than the local-option law was passed. That law places the manufacturer Jn the same cate gory with the saloon. It makes no distinc tion. At any election the voters of the Fourth Ward. Salem, can vote fhat precinct dry' If a majoriy Of one so declares. It absolutely puts us out of business, for the law declares we cannot sell any of our product If the precinct goes dry. Notwith standing the fact thnt we do little, if any. business in that precinct, and that our trade Is mostly on the outside, throughout this state and California, we are prevented from doing any business, and our property Is for all Intents and purposes worthless. This sword of Damocles. - 1n ihe shape of the local-option provision, hanps over us con tinually. Do you wonder that we cannot afford ,4s sensible business men to Invest another dollar in the enterprise? Do you wonder that. outside capital will refuse to Invest In Oregqn? It Is rather hard to restrain oneself and GilPtfiON? j not enter Into the discussion of the subject of prohibition. I do not Intend to do i at this meeting, for It Is certain to engender a useless discussion. I addreus myself to you, as members- of the Willamette' De velopment League, as farmers and' property owners and taxpayers. I place the matter before you Jn Just the condition It l. and ask you to think the matter over seriously. As an Instance to Illustrate what, effect this law ha already bad: Our people wish to build at Salem a larger malting estab lishment, not alone for supplying our plant at Salem, but also the ones at Olympla and Belllngham, Wash. It was alto de sired to build larre enough to engage ac tively in the business of selling malt to other breweries. This enterprise means the investment of several hundred thousand dol lars and would annually use several hundred thousand bushels of barley, which could be raised In the Willamette Valley, for we be lieve that the soil of this valley will pro duce the very best of brewers' barley. Ar long as the present condition of affairs exists regarding the local-option law, this enter prise will be lost to Oregon, and if no change is accomplished next June the enter prise will go to the State of Washington. Here is Oregon, the greatest hop-producing state In the Union. The Industry rep resents millions of' dollars annually. Fifty thousand people are annually engaged In gathering In the crop. Do you farmers think It would be a Just, fair law that gave your neighbors an opportunity at every election to say that from now on you shall no more operate jour buklness?

He is a steadfast Republican. the like shall be useless to you" and the money you have Invested In the same shall be practically a loss to you? Yet that is Just the position in which this, local-option law places the brewer, and you know, as well as I do, that without hops there would be no beer, and without. beer there would be but an innnltcsmal use for hops. I cannot see how a man can be an honest and consistent nian and & Cnrlstlan if he favors the production of flops and places the brewer in the position he now occupies under the local-option law. Nothing makes me less proud of American citizenship than to see men advocateone thing and then do another. Nothing hurts & state more than for reports to go out that its people are narrow-minded. If you want to ncare away cap ital you can do It by passing unfair or nar row laws. I have great faith In the general spirit of fairness and Justice that characterizes the citizen of this state, and do not believe that he will long let this unfair provision rest In the local-option law as It stands it will not even benefit the cause as advo cated by the prohibitionist. It injures the local institution that affords support .to our home .people. n the interest of outside con cerns. If the local concern is put out of business, money is sent away which should have been kept here ana assisted In the building up of the domestic enterprise. You sacrifice the home Industry to benefit the foreign concern. I have 'about concluded what I wish to say to you relative to the business in which we are engaged. I leave the subject to your thoughtful consideration and In closing thank you Mncerely for your considerate patience. Quakers Defeat Business Students. NEWBERG. Or.,- Feb. 17. (Special.)

B. WELLS TO TASK. Controvery Arle Over HI Decrlp Uqa C n Seance Which . lie Attended. The article upon spiritualism by XL B. Wells, which appeared In The Sunday Oregonlan. has aroused rough Interest among those who profess that faith as well as among the skeptical. The follow ing letters and a reply by Mr. "Wells show some phases of the controversy: Portland. Feb. 15. M. B. Wells. Esq. Dear Sir: Notwithstanding your article, published In The Sunday Oregonlan. cn Utled "Spiritualists of Two Different Kinds." was written In rather flippant tyle. It opens up a field of thought worthy of serious consideration. One may almost affirm that there are no secrets In nature, for those of yesterday by Intel ligent Investigation may become the com- FOR and 1S mon knowledge of today. Such expe riences in the past have become the re corded history of the development of our present civilization. It Is no longer safe to deny the truth of any newly announced principle, for tomorrow It may be clearly demonstrated, and we be forced to admit Its truth. It may. however, be admitted that when we leave the bounds of the known and enter upon the mysterious, we are very liable to be misled, humbugged and Imposed upon, and also to- discover many things which we can neither under stand nor explain, and Ifmay be further admitted that the assertion of the con scious existence of the spiritual Individ uality of the human being after It has passed out of the body Is. perhaps, the most difficult to demonstrate to the aver age mind of all the dogmas ever asserted by men. Belief or unbelief has nothing whatever to do with the facts In the case, IT your mind Is convinced beyond a doubt you cannot disbelieve, strive as you may. and until It is so 'convinced you can have no Intelligent belief upon any subject, That there Is much of truth In the as sertion that psychic phenomena Is culded by human Intelligence exterior to the actors has long been established to the satisfaction of nearly all intelligent in vestigators, and the long list of Illustrious names published by you only shows what the most careful thinkers of the present day have concluded. These men have been convinced by personal -experience or Intelligent observation, not to mention any theological doctrines which they may have Imbibed through educational forces. These, with thousands of candid investi gators. 1 presume you consider "one class of spiritualists,' which necessarllv ex cludes all fakers, or those who simply make merchandise of their spiritual, psychic or hypnotic powers, who are ever ready to supply all that is wanting of a demonstration by legerdemain; and we regret to admit that this class Is very large and ever active, advertising largely, and seldom or never rendering any real service to a candid Investigator, often so An mPstrated Jingle By Harry Murohv And a your way you wend along I.ei rancor rave, let critics chatter. 3Tou sweetly sing your simple song; Ta honest men such things don't matter.

Yours respectfully. J. M. HODSON'. Milwaukie. Or.. Feb., 16. To the Ed itor.) I wish to reply to an article of M. l. Wells. In The Sunday Oregonlan of Februarv 11. Being one of the "gullible looking" ten present, at the seance criti cised, and partlv responsible for the hold ing of it 1 think I am entitled to a hear ing also. Havinc attended a number of seances at the Fosters' rooms, a friend and my self wished to have him hold one at a private house. We decided on her home as being centrally located, and we wanted ten people for the company. Mr. Foster's charge for such a sitting Is $10, and the person for whom he gives it can pay It alone or Invite a reasonable number to be present and share the expense. We wanted only ten people so each had to pay Jl. It was Immaterial to Mr. Foster whether we had ten or twenty sitters. Mr. Wells Intimates that the money was collected in advance, the door being locked, as he facetiously puts It. to pre vent any one escaping till payment should be made. Xow the money was not collected until the seance was entirely over, and the door was closed at Mr. Wells own re quest as he feared the entrance of con federates. Mr. Wells says: "We did not tnke any precaution to prevent fraud, the medium being a large and handsome man. and we were afraid he would resent any Interference with his methods." In point of size, he is quite the me dium's equal, and every chance was given him to detect attempted fraud. Mr. Wells and his wife sat together with the me dium. Their hands were placed in position before the curtain was lowered, and so acute an observer should have noticed that they were "leaving the medium's right hand free. He certainly could not have attended (he public meeting at 309 Alder street, when the medium allowed two sitters to hold his hands firmly clasped In theirs against their chests while the phenomena went on Just the same. If Mr. Wells knew positively he had de tected fraud, why did he wait till Mr. Foster left town? Was It on account of his size? The seance took place three weeks ago, not a few days sine, as he says. It certainly would have been In better taste. If he wished to criticise, for him to have obtained the material for his article at a public, and not at a private sitting, to which he was invited In rood faith, and not by a lot of "gullible spirit ualists." but by earnest Investigators of the phenomena. 1 am euro all who at tended the Foster seances, bringing to bear upon the phenomena a fair and crit ical observation, will agree with me that they are not only genuine psychics, but most estimable people, worthy the respect and consideration that Is not accorded them by Mr. Wells' flippant and unfair article. E. P. HOUSER. The accompanying letter was not signed. The writer had an Idea that 1 was puffing the Fosters up while Mrs. Houser thought that I" was running them down. This letter and Mrs. Houser's let ter form an Instructive example of the manner In which most spiritualists attack the problem of psychic phenomena: Mr. Wells: I started to read a piece published in yesterday's Oregonlan where you were trying to puff up the Fosters. I shduld thlnK when a person wjBuld not lot any one. look In the cabinet when tho performances are going on that is enough to make any sane person skeptical. I was at one of their seances last Fall. That did me. and when it is so easy to be a materializing medium. I cannot un derstand why people want to go around and fake the public. . Go to some good hypnotist. let him hyp notize you deep enough. When he says "Do you hear me?" j-ou will say "Yes." Then you are deep enough to be developed as a medium, cla'raudlcnt and clairvoy ant, let the hypnotist say when he gets you deep: "Xow, when you wake up you will hold up your tight hand and count five and go Into a deep, deep trance. Did you hear me?" "Yes."" Let him repeat thii several, times; then when you arc In a trance repeat again that when you wake up you can go In a trance any time you wish to, and -you will then be a fine clair audlent and clairvoyant. Then when you ask the spirits questions always ask In this way: "Have you anything to tell me? Have you anything more o tell raer And tho -spirits can tell you more good In five minutes than you can find out In a lifetime by asking questions directly, and then the clalraudlent can find out how to give readings then he will be abl to give the public Its money's worth.

As regards the letter of Mrs. Houser, I could easily let It go without comment were It not that. In ono particular, she raises a question of fact. She says: Their hands were placed in position boforc the curtain whs lowered, and so acute an observer should have noticed that they were 'Icavlne the medium's hands free.' " The Inference that Mrs. Houser wishes her rcadora to draw from that remark Is that If I had been as smart as I thought I was that I would have made protest right thure and then. This is how It happened: Mr. Foster sat with one of his hands on each knee. My right hand was placed on his left band as it reposed on, his left knee. After the curtain was lowered ho slipped his hand from under mine, catching my little fin ger with his little finger, pulling my hand at the same time toward his other knee. It was this peculiar movement that led me to ask my wife a few questions after the seance was over. Her replies devel oped the fact that we both had hold of the medium's left hand. thus, as I said before, leaving the medium's right free. M. B. WELLS. FILE THEIR PETITIONS..
