Sept. 8. (Special corres pondence.) Five thousand, six hun dred and twenty-three men. women and children killed and injured this Is the slaughter that went to make an Amer ican holiday. Five thousand. six hundred and twenty-three men, women and chil dren, and mostly children, maimed for life or dead this Is the indictment that the American Medical Association, through Its official Journal, In grrim rows of statistics and a biting editorial, brings today against the American peo ple before the bar of humanity. The bull fights with which the Amer ican taunts his Latin neighbor sink into Insignificance, the tragedies of the football gridiron which have raised such storms of Indignation are trivial by comparison, and only the gladia torial conflicts of pagan Home rival the carnage of the American Fourth of July. And the Romans didn't kill children. The terrible . loss In some places. Illinois being a prominent example. Is all the more shocking because of the low statistics In other places, which shows that the loss It not an Inevitable one, but that It Is a man-made slaughter, pre ventable by the making and " enforce ment of laws. More Casualties Than Last Tear. The number of casualties is 1210 more than last year, though the number of deaths, 163, is one less. The list contains 157 more names than that of 1906, the second largest of the six years during 1 which statistics have been kept .by. the Journal of the American Medical Asso ciation. In 1903 the number of deaths from tetanus was 406, and from other causes 60. This year the number of deaths from tetanus was 55 and from other causes 108. The decrease and increase respectively have been steady and consistent. The decrease is attributed to the circulation of information warning the people against danger, and prevention by the use of anti-toxin immediately after the Injury. The Increasing efficiency of the latter Is shown by the fact that this year 72 per cent of those afflicted died, while In 1907 85 percent of the cases ended fatally. The statistics show that the average duration of time between the inoculation and the appearance of symptoms Is eight days, though In one case symptoms ap peared in three days and In another not for 16 days. When once symptoms ap pear the progress of the disease Is rapid, and the Inevitable death comes quickly. 36 hours being the average time before death. For the fourth consecutive year Illi nois reports the largest number of deaths from tetanus, 12. and for the third con secutive year New Jersey Is second. Blank Cartridges AVorst Offenders. Blank cartridges are responsible for 76.S per cent of all cases of tetanus. 6S per cent more than In 1907. and 16.3 per cent more than In 1908, showing apparently a relaxation of the war against this par ticular Instrument of Fourth of July slaughter. Giant crackers, blank car tridges, cannon, gunshot, powder, etc.. have in the last five years caused tetan us as shown In the following table: Blank Car- Giar.t Can- Fire- Powder. tridre. crarker. Don. arms. etc. Tot. 1003 303 17 5.3 27 413 74 18 8 1 T 10 lorn S 17 4 6 13 104 irH M IT IT 10 80 lfl.1T .i2 8 4 3 73 ISKig 58 5 4 3 6 T It Is of especial Interest to note In the table, which shows the total number of cases of tetanus, that In 1903 406 died out of a possible 415. while In 1908 only 65 died out of a possible 76. This Is the record In which the American Medical Associa tion glories. But while the deaths from this cause have been beaten down the deaths from other causes and the number of Injured has been steadily Increasing, and now seem to be at a point where, unless some thing Is done, it will more than make up for the victory over tetanus. The causes of deaths not due to tetanus, as thev have been recorded for the last four years, are shown In the following table: Fire Powder, from tor-Gun- Are- p'do'a, Giant Can- Other shot. work. Etc Ckr. non. Cau's. Tot. 39ns . 37 2 6 3 7 17 95 1'T1 ..38 IS 18 3 3 3 83 lonr ..20 31 13 13 3 22 102 19lg . .30 22 It 23 T T 108 "Only Eleven" Totally BHnded. Nowhere is the horror of the whole mat ter shown more clearly than In the sen tence of the report which states that "onlv 11 persons were totally blinded this year." The cold cheer that this might give Is lessened by the sentence which an nounces that "93 persons lost one eye each, an Increase of 18 over last year; 67 lost a leg, an arm or a hand, and 184 per sons lost one or more fingers." The place that the blank cartridge occu pies tn deaths from tetanus and that bul lets occupy In the table of deaths from other causes belongs to the giant cracker In the realm of mutilating wounds. It was responsible for 7793 accidents this year. Firearms caused 481 accidents, of which 194 were due to stray bullets. Toy cannons caused 399 Injuries, many of them being terrible lacerations. Having won such a signal victory In Its fight with tetanus the medical association this year set out to show American mu nicipalities what can be done by them to decrease the killed and wounded .from other causes. For this purpose a. table has been compiled showing the killed and Injured In all cities of over 100.000 popula latlon In the last two years. By this it Is hoped to show the value of restrictive or dinances, limiting the size of firecrackers, prohibiting the py pistol and the use of firearms, limiting the time of the celebra tion and other measures. Reform in Baltimore and Toledo. . High praise is given to Baltimore and Toledo for passing, ordinances prohibiting fireworks and also for enforcing them. In these cities accidents were practically done away with, those reported being con fined to outlying districts. Comment is made on the fact that "following an un usual number of fatalities this year, Cleveland has passed a prohibitory ordi nance which should be strictly adhered to and enforced." although It is understood that "business Interests" are trying to have It repealed. The methods used In St. Paul and De troit to "save the children" are spoken of with approbation, and attention is called to the Improved records of these towns. "Prevention by substitution" was the remedy used. That is, the children were given another way to celebrate. At St. Paul a mammoth children's meeting was held In the Auditorium, which seats 10,000 people. Here bands were playing, flags and bunting were displayed, confetti was showered about from boxes and balconies and after a glorious time tickets good for amusement devices, toys and refresh ments at Harriet Island were given to each child. A combination of these two methods of protection is advocated by the Journal: "Have the parades, the flags, the bunt ing, the picnics and the children's outing," It says, "but also prosecute the Idiot with his giant cracker and the hoodlum who recklessly fires off his revolver as well as all others who persist in death-dealing methods. Let the shooting off of fire works be limited to displays In the eve ning In charge of adulta experienced In their handling. "How better could we celebrate the an niversary of our Independence than by an extensive display of flags and bunting? Give to the boys bright colored caps and uniforms and to the girls bright colored parasols and aprons. Boycott the fire works counter and patronize the flag store. Let us all at least unite to secure a more sane and therefore a more patri otic celebration of the Fourth of July." Callonaneaa of the Public. ' An editorial which accompanies the ar ticle in the Journal Is hitter In Its denun ciation of what it calls "the callousness and recklessness of the public" 'Every one of these 6460 Injuries," It says, "these 108 deaths, these 104 blinded or half .blinded unfortunates represents an absolutely unnecessary and wanton sac rifice to a senseless and barbaric notion of what constitutes a 'good time,' and is an additional evidence of the cheapness of human life In the United States. Fur thermore, the greater part of these cas ualties represent actual violations of the law. But no matter how much agitation there may be or how much legislation the city fathers may provide, 'the spirit of independence' continues to manifest Itself by violating every law of public safety or common sense, and patriotism Is attested by loss of lives, fingers, eyes, and cuticle. All this absurd personal and civic mutila tion Is. after all, but one of the many manifestations of disregard for life and property with which our country contin ually shocks and amazes the rest of the world." . CLERGYMAN'S SHARP CRITICISM STIRS IRE IN SALT LAKE CITY Citizens of Utah Bitterly Resent Dr. Francis Burgette Short's References to a Modern Sodon and Gomorrah. DR FRANCIS BURGETTE SHORTS sermon at the Walnut Hills Meth odist Church In Cincinnati, O., last Sunday, In which he Is reported to have said that Utah, and particularly Salt Lake City, Is the Sodom and Gomorrah of America, and will be destroyed In five years, has caused Indignation among Salt Lke citizens. They call his remarks "senseless gabble," and Dr. Short himself a "wild ranter." Dr. Short Is quoted as saying that the laws against polygamy are flagrantly violated In Utah, and that many Mormons have from two to a dozen wives. Dr. Short was at one tune pastor of the Taylor-Street Methodist Church, the po sition which Dr. Benjamin Young holds. The former Is now the pastor of the First Methodist Church of Bait Lake City. It was while In Cincinnati, explaining to the Methodists and cttisens of that city the needs of Utah, that he made the statement which has provoked so much comment Just what Dr. Short meant when ho said that Salt Lake City is as wicked as Sodom will be realized when it Is remem bered that the Lord promised Abraham that he would not destroy the "cities of the plain." If ten persons were found who were untainted by Its reeking wickedness. Doubtless these ten were not found, as Abraham is said to have seen the smoke of the country go up "as the smoke of a great furnace" the next morning. Predicts City's Ruin. A dispatch to the Salt Lake papers from Cincinnati last Sunday says: Dr. Francis Burgette Short, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church In Salt Lake City. Utah, who is In Cincin nati raising funds to help the Meth odist Church In the Mormon state, de clared today that Utah, and particularly Salt Lake City. Is the Sodom and Gomor rah of America, and predicted that Salt Lake City will be destroyed before five years are over In a manner similar to the destruction of the two wicked cities In Biblical times. The Rev. Dr. Short occupied the pul pit in the Walnut Hills M. E. Church here this morning, and in the course of his sermon on "Methodism iin Utah" he referred to the wickedness of Utah. According to the Rev. Dr. Short, At lantic City. X. J., called a "saturnalia of vice" by Governor Fort, of New Jer sey, Is as a Sunday school compared to a saloon In comparison to Salt Lake City. The law against plural marriage, he says. Is openly defied, and many Mor mons are openly living with from two to a dozen wives. Methodist ministers there are not regarded as preachers, but as missionaries, ' and the Methodist churches as missions. Tonight the Rev. Mr. Short occupied the pulpit In St. Paul's Church, one of the largest In the city. Wrath In. Salt Lake. The feeling In Salt Lake City against Dr. Short's statement Is put Into words by F. E. McGurrln, a Utah banker, who Is quoted as saying: The assertions made by Mr. Short are the same as saying that there are not ' We sell these bonds in multiples of $100, and with each $100 bond there is given, -without extra charge, 50 shares of stock of the value of $o0; therefore, in reality, the bond costs but $50, because $50 worth of stock goes with it, and the stock is not charged for. The bonds draw 6 per cent interest, so that this return for the investment is abso lute, and the interest is paid each six months. The 6tock shares in the profits of the company, and if those of Eastern mills be any cri terion to judge from, the revenue from this end ought to be as great, if not greater, than the interest upon the bonds. FOR EXAMPLE The Pepperell Manufacturing Company of Blddford, Maine, started 9 years ago. i already paying 12 per cent in dividends and has a surplus of 12.479,000. Its capital is $2,556,000. , ,,..- The Laurel Lake Mills, Fall River. Mass.. pays annual dividends of ll" per cent, besides extras, on a capital stock of JO0.O0O, and has a surplus of 250,000. The Great Falls Manufacturing Company pays 12 per cent In dividends on a capital of Jl.500.000. and has a surplus of 60 000. The Troy Cotton and Woolen Manufactory, with a capital of only 1300,000, has a surplus of $474,398. . , . . , . . . . The Pacific Mills, Lawrence. Mass., pars regular 12 per cent dividends and handsome extras on a capital of $3,000,000, and has a surplus of $6,332,854 more than double its capital. , . The Union Manufacturing Company. Fall River. Mass.. ha. for 5y P an average of IS per cent dividends annually on Us stock of $1,200,000. and has BUThe"spfald'Mi'lI.. Griffin. Georgia, with a capital stock of $200,000 pay. 10 per cent annual dividends on its common stock, 8 per cent on Its preferred.,. and has net earnings of 22 per cent per annum. One of the largest and most wonderful textile plants In the world Is the Amo.keag Manufacturing Company. It pay. regular annual dividend. . of 10 per cent besides fine extras on a capital of 760.O0. and has a. surnlus of $3 720 691. It owns numerous mills, employs 6000 males and 7000 females, has 550.000 spindles; 20.000 loom. weaves 3,850.000 yards of cotton and 2-0 ot worsted per week; uses 4S.000.000 pounds of cotton per annum and 10,400,000 Pounds of wool; burns 100.000 tons of coal a year, uses 60,000 gallon, of oil per annum, and ha. a weekly pay roll of $112,000. THIS MUST CERTAINLY APPEAL TO THE SMALL INVESTOR because a person with $500 or less cannot engage in any profitable business of his own, and banks will pay not to exceed 4 per cent for the use of his money. But we pay 6 per cent because we are not lend ing it out again at a profit, as banks do (and MUST or go out of business), but using it for the building of factories and the improve ment of the townsite. When built, these factories are the property of our stockholders, to the extent of their holdings, so that we are, as a matter of fact, borrowing money from our bondholders and imme diately investing it in something that will, in a great measure, be their own property. And for its use we are paying 6 per cent interest on the bonds, and it seems likely that we will pay 10 per cent dividends on the stock. In this case one $100 bond would draw interest at 6 per cent, and the 50 shares of stock 10 per cent equivalent to 11 per cent on the $100 invested in the bond. THIS IS 7 PER CENT MORE THAN THE BANK WOULD PAY And our security is 840 acres of land, a magnificent water power and all the money paid for bonds so invested that it is under mort gage to the creditor. And a first mortgage, too, payable in United States gold coin. ULTIMATELY GORDON FALLS WILL BE ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST TEXTILE TOWNS We shall have six to ten woolen and worsted mills in operation at Gordon Falls, among them the Pendleton Woolen Mills, famed throughout the world for their "Indian Robes," made nowhere else on earth, and sold to the rich throughout the world. Their popularity was once exemplified in a manner that best denoted their wonderful renown by an excursion party of bankers visiting the Coast. By spe cial arrangement their train was stopped 30 minutes at the Pendleton depot and a truckload of Indian robes was there awaiting their inspec tion. But not one went through the formula of "inspection." The bankers and their wives literally "grabbed them from the truck in armfulsj" and in that half hour every blanket was disposed of and as many more were ordered to be sent East by express. THESE MILLS WILL BE "WORKING" AT GORDON FALLS WITHIN LESS THAN 150 DAYS And the public is now offered an unexampled opportunity to own some shares in them and the townsite of 840 acres, with its three miles of waterfront on the Columbia River, and all the charms of the most scenic spot on earth, only 29 miles from the City of Portland. With two railroads that give us terminal rates and water communication, with all parts of .the habitable globe, ' MAYBE YOU THINK THAT GORDON FALLS WILL NOT BE A "SOME" WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS 1 See what St. John is, and only five years old and not a water fall to propel its machinery. Everything must be done by steam o electricity. That expense is all cut out with us. It won't cost us a cent to run our mills, and that certainly means that our profits will be so much larger. It also means that OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL POCKET EVERY DOLLAR IT COSTS ST. JOHN TO KEEP ITS WHEELS A-GOING! Isn't that enough? . With the ordinary profits and the power profits too, hadn't we ought to be "fairly" prosperous? We should say YES ! "and every stockholder will share in that prosperity.

Regarding Dr. Short's sermon the Salt Lake Tribune says: We do not believe that Salt Lake City will be destroyed before five years are over, for its wickedness, or for anything else, as Sodom and Gomorrah are re- , . j -A i v,aAn Hcatrnvpn Or Ola. Salt Lake City has been a much lck- eaer city man il i iuuj. " ' In that condition for a good deal more than five years. It will be remembered i .i C..V, h,.a vaiii4 thA first bOOk Dy uiusn v inns , , j of the Bible that there was a plain and sure promise mane uy , CZ Sodom should be Bpared If even 10 right eous men could be found within It. It was for the lack of those 10 righteous men that the city went to destruction. Now, we ao not kuevh umi mo is any more cruel In these latter days than he was In the days of old. nr. -.f ,ln1j- ia th time Is likelV to come within five years, or within oO years, or any other time that may be named, when there will not be 10 right eous men found in Salt Lake. We do not believe, of course, that these 10 righteous men will louna anions mo leaders of the Mormon Church. If one such Is to be found among them, that in itself would be so miraculous that it would justify the saving of the city from any doom of destruction that might be pronounced against It. But It will be noted by the reader of Scripture that the Lord did not stinu- late that the 10 righteous men must be found within the limit of any church organization, even though that organiza tion might have called itself by some ex clusive and pompous name. The only stipulation was that there should be 10 righteous men within the city. We. there fore, consider that Salt Lake City is entirelv safe, always provided that the Lord follows the precedent which he him self established, a matter concerning which there ought not to be any reason able doubt. Marriage liaw Defied. It Is quite true, as Pastor Short says, that "the law against plural marriage Is openly defied, and that many Mormons are openlv living with from two to five wives." The chief prophet, seer and rev elator of the Mormon church is notori ously living with his five wives, and he notified the Senate committee in Wash ington that he did not Intend to give up such living, but to keep right along with It. He is the head of all the offenders, to be sure, but there are plenty of oth ers doing their best to keep up with him. And in so far as that sort of thing would make Salt Lake City a Sodom and Go morrah, Pastor Short Is quite right In so classifying the city. At the same time, we believe that he is too severe in put ting this city in that category. In spite of the enormous defiance of morality, of civilization, and of decency that are prev alent here among those who arrogate to themselves a special righteousness tinder an exclusive church, which they claim to be better than any other church in the world, and more directly Inspired from heaven. .... Pastor Not Justified. We hold, therefore, that Pastor Short Is unjustified In his classification, and over enthusiastic when he forecasts the destruction, within the short time of five years, for us that was visited upon Sodom and Gomorrah. At the same time there is no telling. There is nobody now to speak for Sodom and Gomorrah. But we will raise such voice as we may In pro test against classifying Salt Lake as a peculiarly wicked city. It has been pretty bad usually, but it is geting better all the time, and before five years are over, we believe that the Lord will erase Its name from the threatened cities, if Ho Is keep ing any list of such cities. Still. Professor Gilbert, tha eminent geologist, gave his opinion many years ago that we are liable any time to have a tremendous earthquake here, caused by a further uplift of the Wasatch range. The beauty of a forecast of that kind is that it may come true at any time, and SEAB1RIGHT Two and one-half hours' ride on the Pacific Railway & Navigation Co. Railroad will bring you to this Seabright Resort. This railroad has been ordered rushed to completion at once. Seabright is owned by Messrs. H. 0. Wortman and C. W. King, the well-known Portland merchants. Is located on the shores of the Paciflc Ocean and the beautiful Nehalem Bay, and it is destined to become a real pleasure resort. Nehalem Bay Is a beautiful Btretch of water about eight miles long, and for yachting and boating cannot be surpassed, while fish of all kinds abound In Its waters, and crabs and clams are too numerous to mention; and during the open season for duck-shooting, thousands of these feathered fowl are seen floating upon Its placid bosom; and the hills back of this resort and across the bay abound with wild game of all kinds, and the small streams emptying Into the bay and ocean about this resort are fairly alive with the Justly-famous mountain trout. In fact, the many things that make it a pleasure to spend your vacation at a certain place are all about you at this Seahrlgrht resort, and these foregoing facts will make this property very desirable, and especially the fact that this resort is and will always remain the closest beach resort to Portland will make this property be come very valuable. And upon the advent of the railroads Into Tillamook County one survey of which is buta few hundred feet away, and the other but across the bay, and each of them Interested In getting into the county as quickly as possible, and with at least two electric lines running surveys Into the same place, this property will advance lr. price with a speed that will be astonishing. We firmly believe that to purchase lots In Sea bright at present prices is the very best inwestment one could make in Oregon. PRICES AND TERMS All lots fronting on the ocean, $100 each; $20 down and $10 per month. All second lots on ocean front and all fronting on the 100-foot boulevard, $75 each; $1F down and $7.50 per month. All other lots, $50 each, and $5.00 per month.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED. again It may keep the community in sus pense for a thousand years, or any num ber of thousands of years. The probabil ity, however, is that when that uplift does come, the names of both Professor Gil bert and of Pastor Short will have been forgotten. And also It is to be hoped that the idea will have become altogether ob literated that natural phenomena of that kind come upon a region by reason of the peculiar wickedness, hard-heartedness, or religious views entertained, or not enter tained, by the people Inhabiting the re gion affected. O'Brien Returns Today. J. p. "O'Brien, general manager 01 the Harriman lines in this territory, who left the city last week on a short trip of inspection of the Oregon -lines of the O. R. & N. and the newly com pleted Wallowa extension, will return to Portland today. It was rumored that Mr. O'Brien was bound for Central Oregon and would be away from the city for the next two weeks. While away, he was supposed to choose the most feasible route from the Columbia River south Into the Interior of the state to be followed by the new Har riman line into that territory. This fanciful tale appears to have been wholly without foundation.
