BIG BOND ISSUE FLOATED
North Bank Road Formally Files
Large Mortgage.
One of the largest mortgages ever
recorded at the Multnomah County
Courthouse was filed with the County
Clerk's office yesterday afternoon by
the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail
way Company. It was to secure a bond
Issue, the amount of which was Indefi
nitely stated as being? not to exceed
$100,000,000. The mortgage is in favor
of the Central' Trust Company, of New
York, and applies to all rolling-stock,
equipment, lines and property of the
company, including the branch from
Lyle to Goldendale and the uncom
pleted line between Spokane, ' Kenne
wick and Vancouver.
No particular significance is at
tached to the filing of the mortgage
for recording, as that Is merely a for
mal requirement- Copies of the mort
gage will be filed with seven different
counties of this state and Washington.
The filing fee was $17. the largest fee
of that kind exacted in months.
Court Dismisses Sawmill Suit.
Suit of V. E. Gilbert, against H. G.
Colton to have a sawmill contract re
formed, was denied by Circuit Judge
O'Day yesterday. Both parties to the
suit hinted fraud. Gilbert said he en
tered into a contract with Colton to
operate a sawmill at Middleton, Or.,
on a percentage basis. By the terms
of the contract, he said he was to pay
employes of the mill the first month's
salary and that Colton was to take up
that burden thereafter. By crossing
out a section of the contract, Gilbert
avers that Colton threw the paying
of workmen entirely on his shoulders.
Colton replied that the section of the
contract in question was crossed out
with Gilbert's full knowledge and that
Gilbert was trying to saddle claims of
workmen for wages on him. The court
ordered that the plaintiff's complaint
be dismissed, thus1 ending the suit.

Spiritualists Talking of Having
Him Ousted From Their
Ranks.
DRAFTS COTTEL ORDINANCE
"Regular" Organization Says He Is
in Habit or Attempting to Injure
It by Such Measures and Says
It iow . Has . Proof.
Accused of having been the author of
the now notorious ordinance introduced
at la3t week's meeting of the City Coun
cil by Councilman Cotter and known as
"An ordinance regulating fortune-telling,
palmistry and cognate practises in the
City of Portland," Harrison D. Barrett,
a spiritualist lecturer and the alleged
self-assumed pastor of the First Spiritual
ist Society of this city, is in immediate
danger of being -ousted from the ranks of
the society in this state.
If the charges as -made yesterday by
Sophia B. Seip, president of the Oregon
State Spiritualist's Association, are true,
Barrett is not pastor of the First Spiritual
ist Society, as he says, and has merely
assumed his position on the strength of
the fact that he once held the presidency
of the National Spiritualists' Association
of America. Furthermore the state presi
dent charges that while claiming to be a
spiritualist, Barrett has done much to dis
rupt and antagonize the association.
Prohibit Barrett From Preaching.
. From the present attitude of those In
charge at the state headquarters of the
association in the Allsky building, there
is but little doubt but that a meeting of
the board will be called in the immediate
future to frame a resolution asking the
National Association to prohibit Barrett
from appearing as a spiritualist or from
preaching the spiritualist belief. It is
alleged by Mrs. Seip that Barrett in
practically every city he has visited as
a spiritualist lecturer has attempted to
disrupt the organization by Introducing,
without knowledge of others, so she says,
ordinances similar .to the one which Dr.
Cottel a week ago Wednesday afternoon
offered to his collegues in the City Coun
cil for passage.
Until Barrett was pointed out Friday
at the meeting of the street and health
committee of the Council by Dr. Cottel,
as the man who presented hiin with the
ordinance, fully drawn up, no authentic
proof of the lecturer s methods, said
Mrs. Seip, had ever come officially to
the knowledge of the association of its
officers.
Says Dr. Cottel Kx poses Him.
Although suspected, accord! ng to the
state president, of employing ''under
hand methods against the interests of
the association, it remained for Dr. Cot
tel fully to expose him by proclaiming
him to be the man from whom the ordi
nance came. Following Barrett's visits
to various cities. East and West, ac
cording to Mrs. Seip. ordinances exceed
ingly similar in legal technicalities and
phrasing to the Portland ordinance have
been presented to the city legislative
bodies for adoption. While the state
president admits she is not assured that
Barrett drafted the ordinance, the fact
that such an ordinance was presented
by him is enough to cause his expulsion
from the National organization if the
proper steps are taken. Whether or not
proper steps will be taken is as yet un
decided. Giving as Barrett's motive for wishing
to wipe out mediums, clairvoyants, fortune-tellers,,
second-sight artists, etc..
Mrs. Seip says the lecturer is actuated
by purely personal and selfish motives.
"Professor Barrett's meetings are lightly
attended," says the state president; "be
cause he does not demonstrate, he only
preaches."
Although no charges have been drafted

against Barrett, there Is no little talk
going on as to what will be done. Mrs.
Seip said yesterday:
"Barrett has been supported by spir
itualist believers and mediums for 14
I Jears. His very bread and butter has
come from the mouth of the people he
has been injuring. Yet he is so little
that he will do everything he can to
injure us and stop - our means of liveli
hood. "He has gone from city to city trying
to wreck the organization by doing all
in his power to have mediums suppressed,
when they are in reality the mainspring
and mainstay of the belief. To rob spir
itualism -of mediums would shatter the
entire organization. Spiritualism, accord
ing to the doctrines It sets forth, must
have mediums, yet here is this man do
ing everything possible to discredit these
doctrines which he so heartily indorses
and advocates when he Is lecturing for
his fee of $15.
Not Pastor of Portland Society.
"If Barrett is pastor of Ihe First Spir
itualist Society of this city, the Oregon
State Board of Spiritualists ts yet to be
officially Informed of it. He is merely
a lecturer on spiritualism, advocating its
doctrines before his audience while try
ing to crush the association when their
backs are turned. If Barrett had an or
dinance which he wanted presented it
was his business to take the matter up
with the Oregon State Spiritualists' As
sociation, as he has no authority to pre
sent any such measure 'on behalf of the
society by himself.
"We want quacks suppressed. They
should be. They have no right to de
ceive the public and give honest' persons
and societies a black eye. 'Yet there are
police regulations, special provisions.

Dear Sin
In answer to your inruiry of .tne 1st Inst, will
Bay that I snail be very glad to give you at any timet inf or
zoation regarding tho results ire get from advertising.
' Our advertising campaign really began with the Hay
(1907) issue of Sunset as we contracted at that time for a
half page add to run' one year Wo have practically had the
benefit of but eleven months: of our year as the April number,
is Just out In this eleven months we received over 5200 .in
quiries and with few exceptions all from the Sunset
It is really surprising how far reaching the Sunset
.is. We have received, I believe, inquiries from every state ,
in the Union which have mentioned Sunset It seems every one
'who has any idea of coming Vest is taking the maga2ine and. I do
not believe that you can do better than tp spend a good part
of your money with them, both as to advertising and getting
out booklets They seem to reach just the class of people our
localities are trying to get at This year we had them get out
another booklet, a copy of which I am mailing you, and have
contracted for a full page add We expect to reoeive twice the
number of inquiries, at least-from the same source this season
oweing to the "extra effort the Sunset people are making to en
large their Eastern subscription and the extra effort they'are
making in many other ways
I enclose a leaftlet which we are sending out by the
thousands
As we expect to. take up other lines of advertising
soon, I will be very grateful if you will give me the benefit
of your experience along other lines
Very
which victims of these quacks can fall
back on for protection. There are too
many honest persons practicing what
quacks pretend to practice, however, to
make it Just that such a sweeping ordi
nance as presented to the City Council
be passed."
. At John Slater's spiritualist meeting,
which will be held tonight in Women of
Woodcraft Hall. Taylor and Tenth
streets, plans will undoubtedly be formed
and a programme arranged for taking
action in the immediate future against
Barrett and his ordinance. Mr. Slater
is a spiritualist of the medium class and
is well known throughout the country.
The issue has so shaped 'itself that he
will undoubtedly be expected to lead the
faction against Barrett. Just how far
the faction prepared to go at the meet
ing tonight is not known, but it is be
lieved the outcome will mean Barrett's
retirement from the spiritualist lecture
field. i
HIGH JINKS BY THE ELKS
Merry Widower" Social to Be Hold
Thursday Night.
Did you ever hear of a "Merry "Wid
ower" social? Not a "Merry Widow,"
but a masculine affair; in other words,
a "stag." The Portland Elks are sroing
to hold a "Jinks" of this sort as the
closing social session of the present year.
Nobody, save the committee, knows what
a "Merry Widower Stag' V is, and there is
some doubt as to whether the committee
itself knows, but it has pledged the

an tiered herd something entirely new for
next Thursday night. Whether the
"talent"' will appear in the new-fangled
"Merry Widow" regalia or whether it ifl
some "ga" fixed up for the occasion, is
not known, but three solid hours of en
tertainment, light and airy, with plenty
of variety and change is the "dope"
given out.
Some hint that a fireboat may be needed
to help out the programme was dropped
by one member of the committee last
ni;:ht, and in the interests of law and
order a majority of the members of the
lodge will be sworn in as deputy sheriffs
early in the evening.
Joe Day, who hasn't appeared as an
attraction at any of the recent sessions,
will appear as "Little Egypt" and will
do a fire dance. Jay Upton is down for
a baritone solo and a number of other
performers of high order will be on the
bill.
In addition to the literary, musical and
other parts of the programme, the guests
will be allowed to "eat. drink and be
merry widowers," just for the night. The
"stag" is open to all members of the
Elks' order, either local or members from
other lodges.

supreme officers of the Union Provident
League, a fraternal beneficiary society
with headquarters in this city, an as
