TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 1906.
GOULD AGENT HERE
J. H. McClement Revisits Port
land After Long Absence.
COMES ON PLEASURE TRIP
Denies He Is in Oregon in Interests
f Western Pacific Local Rail
road Men See Significance
in His Presence.
J. H. McClement, the right-hand finan
cial man of George Gould, arrived In
Portland last night "to renew old ac
quaintances," as he eays. Mr. McClement
emphatically declares that there Is no
elgnlflcance to be attached to his visit,
and that he Is In the Northwest on a
mere pleasure trip. Ho has not been In
Portland since 1S92, when he married Miss
Ijena Morgan, o this city.
"I notice that the sandhills along the
Columbia and the population in Portland
have grown considerably since I was
last here," he said.
Mr. McClement Is accompanied by his
wife and children. He travels in a spe
cial car, and will remain In Portland sev
eral days.
When asked whether Gould contem
plated building into the Pacific North
west and whether the much-talked-of ex
tension of the Corvallls & Eastern was In
the Interests of the Western Pacific, he
declared he had nothing to say, other
than that he was not on the Coast on
business of any kind.
Mr. McClement lived in Portland dur
ing the Vlllard boom, and was associated
with Villard at that time. During the
years of 1883-4-5 he was In charge of
the Northern Pacific Terminal Company,
and It was under his administration that
the ehops at Albina were built. He laid
the cornerstone of the Hotel Portland, as
at that time he was the only official of
the company In the city.
In 1SS5 Mr. McClement went to New
Tork, and ever since then he has been
a prominent figure In the financial world.
He i one of the most trusted agents of
Gould, and, while he claims that pleasure
only draws him here, there are some who
believe that there Is something behind
his visit.
MAY MEET GOULD'S AGENT
A. B. Hammond, President of Cor
vallls & Eastern, in City,
A. B. Hammond, president of the As
toria & Columbia River and the Corvallls
& Eastern railroads, is a guest at the
Hotel Portland, en route to San Fran
cisco from Missoula, Mont., his old home.
Mr. Hammond says he is not here to
meet J. H. McClement, George Gould's
representative, and declines to discuss
railroad matters. He had nothing to say
regarding the extension of the Corvallis
& Eastern.
For the year ending In June, Mr. Ham
mond says, lumber and its products filled
7300 cars of the Astoria & Columbia, and
all originated on loss than 80 miles of
road. The combined lumber business han
dled by the Harriman and Hill Interests
In Oregon for the same period amounted
to less than 28,000 cars. The figures also
show an Increase of 1300 cars over the
same period ending June 30, 1905, and It Is
estimated that fully 30 per cent of the
cut of the mills supplying the business
went by water to California points be
cause of the car shortage.
REV. MR.WILS0N TO DEBATE
Clergyman Accepts Invitation to Ad
dress. Portland Socialists.
Dr. Clarence Trus Wilson, who has
been invited to address the Socialists of
Portland from the platform of their own
hall, states that he Intends accepting the
Invitation, but cannot say Just when ha
will be able to meet the interested par
ties In public debate. During a series of
sermons on "Substitutes for Religion"
plven by Dr. Wilson this Summer he
took occasion to express his disapproval
of socialism, and the members of th
Socialist party here have been much
worked up over his utterances ever since.
They seem determined to have the
Methodist clergyman meet their good
speakers in public debate, and the minis
ter is evidently quite willing to do so.
"We are preparing for the state con
ference, which will meet at Sunnyslde
the latter part of this month," Di. Wll
eon stated yesterday, "and for this rea
son cannot spare the time to prepare de
bates on the subject of socialism Just
now. It is my Intention, however, to ac
cept the invitation extended me, for I
want to meet the loaders of this party
and am perfectly willing to express my
views of their principles to them and
hear their side of the question. Just say
that I will meet them In debate at my
earliest convenience.
Dr. Wilson has abandoned his ice cream
clothes since the weacher hag gotten cool
but laughingly declares that they were
good luck to him. "A couple came to get
married not long ago and I asked them
how they came to select me, as I had
never known of them before. The bride
paid she had seen my picture in The
Oregonian In those white clothes and that
was the reason I had been selected as
the fortunate minister to tie the knot.'
GOES TO PUEBLO, MEXICO
Dr. IVanklin Cauthorn Accepts
Lucrative Position There.
Dr. Franlln Cauthorn will leave Port
land this week with his family for Pu-
eblo, Mexico, where he expects to make
his future home. Dr. Cauthorn visited
Arizona and Mexico several years ago and
became much attached to that section,
and he anticipates a return there with
much pleasure.
Dr. Cauthorn has been tendered a lu-
crative position as assistant surgeon on
one of the prominent railroads in Mexico,
and has accepted the same. The position
will enable him to carry on a private
practice in addition to his duties on the
road, maKing nis prospects in his new
homo unusually attractive. He has long
been one or Portland s stanchest citizens
and his host of friends here will ste him
depart with regret, but he considers It
greatly to nis advantage from many
stanapoinis to sacrinco his good prac
tice here ana begin one at Pueblo.
AGREE TO CONSECRATION
3IaJorlty of Episcopal Churches In-
Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. p.,
president of the standing committee of

a majority of the 63 standing commit
tees of the Episcopal Churches of the
United States has consented to the

dence of their consent for his consecration.

his church at La Grange, la., on Sep
tember 29, and it is expected that he
111 arrive In Oregon and enter on nis
duties some time in October.

The Great Importer of Oriental
Rugs Has Returned.
It will be of great Interest to the ad
mirers of Oriental rugs, and especially
those who are contemplating the pur
chase of these handsome and durable
floor coverings, to learn that A. Atlyen,
of Atiyeh Bros., Importers and dealers
in Oriental rugs, has Just returned from
New York, where he has been for sev
eral months releasing his stock from
the Custom-House.
This new stock, the finest and most
complete that has ever been shown in
Portland, will reach here in time to be
displayed at the opening- of their new
location, -which will be at 394 Washing
ton street, corner of Tenth.
The Atiyeh Bros, will spare no ex
pense In fitting up their new store and
expect to make it second to none In the
city in completeness and artistic arrange
ment. Having noticed the marked increase In
the business of the Atiyeh Bros., since
their coming to Portland some five or
six years ago The Oregonian was some
what curious to learn the causes which
brought about this wonderful change.
Mr. Atiyeh was kind enough to en
lighten The, Oregonian on this subject.
He said: "In commencing business In
Portland we had a great many obstacles
to overcome, chief among which was the
bad repute of Oriental rugs, caused by Ir
responsible migratory rug men who were
here today and gone tomorrow, and who
In most part sold a very Inferior class of
goods, for which they charged outrageous
prices.
"These dishonest dealers naturally
created a feeling of distrust for all deal
ers in Oriental rugs. However, by abso
lutely honest dealings and fair treatment
of our numerous customers we have
gained the confidence of the people, and
while these transitory rug dealers will
still come and go, we are now so firmly
established that we lose but little of the
legitimate trade by their predatory trips
to the city.
"We are importers as well as retailers,
and every year some member of our firm
visits the Interior of Persia, and Turkey
and selects the choicest pieces for our
trade. This we can do, because we buy
direct from the weavers of the rugs; and
in doing this we save the Importers' com.
mission and are enabled to furnish our
customers the most select of Oriental
weaves for less money than most dealers
have to pay the Importers.
"We have made it a point In our busi
ness to never misrepresent any piece or
rug we have sold, and because of this
our business has steadily Increased. Last
month our business was 25 per cent
greater than during any previous month
since coming to Portland, showing that
the keenest competition does not in any
manner affect our sales.
"We welcome opposition, because In the
five or six years we have been doing busi
ness in Portland we have educated the
people In the value, texture and weave of
the first class rugs, so that they are
almost as good Judges as we, and it takes
them but a little while to find out that
the best place to buy these goods is at the
old reliable firm of Atiyeh Bros.
"They trust us because we have never
deceived them In any way; they have
learned to know a good rug and Its value.
"We have made the buying of these rugs
a study and to show how difficult It Is to
deal with the makers of Oriental rugs I
wish to draw your attention to the fact
that they are Ignorant, suspicious and
childlike In colors and forms. They are
so painstaking and Jealous of their pro
duction as an artist or painter and the
rivalry between them Just as great.
They are afraid some one will steal
their designs so no one is allowed to see
their work until It is finished.
It is not the work of a day to make one
of these rugs, but of months and years
and after they are finished and until they
are sold they guard them as Jealously as
a miser does his gold."
Since coming to Portland the Atiyehs
Bro. have branched out into new fields.
They have opened a store in Spokane
which has been doing a successful busi
ness for more than a year.
Within the last two months they have
completed the organization of a company
In New, York with a half million dollars
capital. They expect soon to erect a
large building In San Francisco for their
western wholesale headquarters. Mr. A.
Atiyeh is the president of this company.
Both brothers comprising this firm are
graduates of the Asyrlan Protestant Col
lege at Beyrouth, the great educational
Institution so, highly praised by Dr. Hill
In one of his recent lectures on the Holy
Land.
They are bright, wide-awake, progres
sive business men who realize that in
business honesty is always the best
policy.
The Atiyeh Bros, expect to be in their
new home by October 1st.

Portland, Or., Sept. 6, 1906.
Dr. R. A. Thompson,
Oregon Optical Co.,
Portland, Or.
DEAR SIR: Permit me to state a few words,
in behalf of your scientific work in fit
ting eyeglasses. You are entitled to the
gratitude of all unfortunates who are com
pelled to use glasses in aid of eyesight.
I have been wearing glasses for several
years ; have been fitted by different doc
tors, but I must admit that the ones you
have fitted to my eyes are the best and
the most satisfactory of all that I have
had. I have put you down in my opinion
as the most scientific optician I have
ever met, recommending your skill to all
my friends. Yours very sincerely,
, REV. CHAS. SEROSKI.
We have hundreds of letters on file at our institution from doctors,
lawyers, clergymen and men of prominence in every walk of life
praising the skill of our optical staff. If you have never patronized
the Oregon Optical Company it will certainly pay you to do so.

STRIKES SON WITH AN AX
Drunken Father Drives His Entire
Family Into Street.
Armed, with an axei and crazed from
the effects of liquor, Fred "Westenfel
der, who lives with his family in a
cottage at 306 Madison street, chasod
his wife and children from home early
yesterday morning and in the fray
wounded his 12-year-old son in the
arm. The neighbors living around
Westenfelder's house called up the
police station several times shortly
after 2 o'clock yesterday morning, say
ing that "Westenfelder was attempting
to murder his entire family.
Captain Bailey dispatched Officers
Gruber and Humphreys to the scene of
the fray, but when they arrived they
found Westenfelder's wife, daughter
and son at the house of a neighbor and
the drunken man locked in his home.
He at first would not admit the offi
cers, but on the threat that the door
will be broken In he surrendered and
was brought down to the station,
where he was temporarily held on a
charge of disorderly conduct.
The wife declares that Westenfelder
chased her all around the hous with
the axe and threatened to kill her. She
managed to escape to a neighbor's
house. . Westenfelder's daughter
jumped through a front window and
the 12-year-old son tried to Jump
through another window when Wes
tenfelder hit him with the axe, mak
ing a large but not serious cut below
the elbow.
Westenfelder's case came up in Mu
nicipal Court yesterday and was post
poned by Judge Cameron until Septem
ber 12. Westenfelder was released on
his own recognizance.
WOMAN TIRES OF LIFE
Mrs. Pennell Swallows Laudanum,
but Falls to Die.
In a fit of morbidness brought on by
failure to get along with her husband
and the world in general, Mrs. H. Pennell
tried to kill herself by swallowing lauda
num, early yesterday forenoon. The at
tempt was made in a rooming-house at
184 Sherman street, and it failed be
cause the woman told Mrs. A. Hansen,
who lives across the hall from her. Mrs.
Hanson gave the alarm, the police were
sent for and Mrs. Pennell's life was saved
at the Good 9amaritan Hospital, where
she was taken inside of halt an hour
from the time she swallowed the poison.
Mrs. Pennell had apparently planned
her Intended demise with some care. She
packed her effects Into a trunk, and then
penned a brief will, disposing of her ef
fects. The will was in the form of a
letter to her 11-year-old son, who is being
cared for by an East Side family. The
letter gave no explanation of her act,
which is attributed by those who know
her to her recent separation from her
husband, a carpenter. The quantity of
laudanum taken was sufficient to have
produced death had treatment been suf
ficiently deferred.
