CHICAGO. 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:

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

"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.

Newspaper Has Doubts.
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

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.

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

religious views entertained, or not enter

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.
