"The Orejton-Washlna-ton Trust Com

the securities of the Columbia River

established In the Chamber of Com

a deposit of J10.000 to form a trust
company In Washington, while such an
organization can be perfected In Ore
iron for nothing and on nothing. That
la probably why the company was or
ganised under the laws of Oregon.
I am anxious to have all persons
who bave bonds In tha orchard com

If the deal Is found to hare been
crooked and tha mall was used In pro

with the bond sales of the defunct
company, lie has not made public any
statement as to whether or not the
"Interested parties" to thorn he says

S'OO.non of the bonds. The holders,
some 40 In number, will arrange a plan
whereby their Interests can be pro

a matter of fart I am not authorlied
to talk now for the bondholders as

should realize. The eztent of these,
of course, cannot be ascertained aa

Harper's.
How long were the ruins of the South
west inhabited? and. bow dense was
the population In ancient times? Some
of the best archeologlsts have strongly
Insisted that appearances are deceitful.
The hundreds, and Indeed thousands of
sites of ancient vlllagea in Colorado,
the Texan Panhandle, Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona, aa well as la similar parts
of northern Mexico, were not all in
habited at one time. ( so they tell us.
Most represent more temporary stop
ping places where migratory bands ol
a people supposed to have been ances
tors of the Indians settled tor a few
years and then moved on. At the out
side limit, so say these archeologlsts,
the entire population never amounted
to more than a few score thousands.
whose civilization was of the lowest
and most Insignificant type. Othet
students, fewer In number than the
orthodox sohool. hold that the majority
of the ruins were all occupied at the
same time and for century after cen
tury. They say that the population of
the arid Southwest must have amount
ed to many hundred thousands decid
edly more In all probability than the
country supports today. Furthermore,
if this were so, although the type of
civilization may have been most prim
itive compared with ours, yet It was
by no means so low as that of the mod
ern Indians. It must have been of the
same grade as that of early Babylonia.
Egypt. Palestine or Greece before the
art of writing was Invented. People
who could dwell peacefully for centu
ries In large, permanent communities
and could build great communal houses
and long systems of canals, were by no
means untutored savages. Civil order
and submission to the will of the ma
jority must have been aa well developed
amocg them as among us. Such a view
leads one to believe that. If only we
could trace It. the history of the primi
tive Americans would prove quite aa
Interesting, and to us possibly mere in
teresting than that of early Oriental
peoples to whom our scholars devote so
much time and our millionaires so much
money.

CRITICS. OF T. R. HIT
Suffragists Deplore Attacks
by Their Co-Workers.
HARM TO CAUSE FEARED
Speakers at Session of Forum Say
Questioning Colonel's Motives
In Espousing Votes for
Women May Injure.
Suffrage speakers who attacked.
Colonel Roosevelt because of his edi
torial In the Outlook wherein he ad
vocated the cause of women's suffrage,
which they ascribed to political mo
tives, were themselves the object of at
tacks by suffragists at the second
regular session of the Forum, recently
organized by the Portlirnd Women's
Club. The meeting was held yesterday
afternoon In the auditorium of Olds,
Wortman & King's store. The attacks
were condemned as being Injurious to
the cause, by several women speakers.
In a discussion opened by Dr. Esther
a Pohl.
The first Intimation of opposition on
the part of the suffragists to Roose
velt's recent pronouncement In favor of
suffrage came Tuesday night at the
home of Mrs. J. C. Gauld. at 262 King
street, where 200 persons bad as
sombled to listen to addresses by Mrs.
Helen Hay Greely. representing the
New York Equal Suffrage League, and
Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, presi
dent of the Equal Suffrage League of
Northern California.
Editorial la Criticised.
At that time Mrs. Greely called
Roosevelt's editorial "sloppy, and re
ferred to Roosevelt as "the omnlpo
tent Oom of the Outlook and of Oyster
Bay. who has taught the farmers'
wives how to dress and the stork
how to fly."
Wednesday night, before the State
Women's Press Club, Miss Whitney also
attacked Roosevelt, saying that he had
kept quiet on the suffrage subject until
he had learned that 1.5U0.000 would
cast the ballot at the coming election.
Friday night Roosevelt was the object
ot an attack at Spokane by Mrs. May
Arkwrlght Hutton, leader of the suf
frage movement In Washington, who
referred to him as "a four-flusher and
a hot-air artist."
"I think it Is injurious to the In
terests of our cause to attack public
men." said Dr. Pohl yesterday. "Where
one of us who criticises a public man
may have one follower, that man crltl
elzed may have a thousand. Suppose
all of us became public speakers and
started out to criticize men In public
life; why. In a short time we wouldn't
have a friend left and our cause would
be hopeless, unless the men were big
enough to overlook our foolishness.
Mrs. M. L. Hidden, president of the
State Women's Press Club, who fol
lowed Dr. Pohl, not only deplored the
criticisms of Roosevelt, but said that
she thought Roosevelt's stand on the
suffrage question would prove a posi
tive aid.
Attacks Declared I'awiae.
"We have Just one thing to do at
present," she said, "and that Is to get
votes. Anything aside from that means
a useless expenditure of energy when
It Is needed more In other ways. And
most assuredly we are not going to get
votes by attacking public men, and
particularly men that have their fol
lowers by the thousands.
Y hen a great man expresses him
self so kindly as Roosevelt has done
we should be thankful for It."
Dr. Mary Thompson followed Mrs.
Hidden. "We must at this time," she
said, "avoid anything that might tend
to weaken our cause In this state. The
time Is a critical one for us, and It is
now that we are called upon to ex
ercise our women's duty and stroke
the fur the right way."
Mrs. Albert Ehrgott addressed the
assemblage on "The Mother Spirit,"
which she said predominated In the
motives that Induced women to seek
the ballot, since It grew out of a de
sire to better the advantages and en
vironments of working girls and boys.
Miss Whitney gave an address in which
she went over an extensive field, ad-

DEMOCRACY AND MANNERS
Inquiry Into Teachings of Manners
In tlie Public Schools.
Dr. Charles W. Eliot In The Cenutry.
Manners affect for good or ill the
daily happiness of every human being
and the fortune ana nestiny oi every
tribe or nation. Their innuence on
human existence is profound and in
cessant. Good manners are founded on
reason or common sense and good will.
They put people at ease in social in
tercourse, welcome graciously the
stranger and the friend, dismiss pleas
antly the lingering visitor who does
not know how to withdraw, express
alert sympathy with others, and prompt
to helpful co-operation with others.
They enable people to dwell together
In peace and concord; whereas bad
manners cause friction, strife and dis
cord.
Th oft-mentioned difference be
tween good manners and good breed
in a-, namely, that the latter Involves
a long education and the acquisition of
much knowledge ana sum. wnereas
the former do not. Is Quits aa import
ant in democratic society as in aris
tocratic. Peasants, barbarians and il
literate persons often exhibit some of
the best elements of good manners.
but their experience of life has not
given them access to good breeding.
Selfishness, ignorance, stupidity ana
habitual Inattention to tlfe desires and
claims of others are the chief causes
of bad manners; and since these quali
ties are rather common among mankind
and some admixture of them often ex
ists in meritorious characters, bad man
ners are not uncommon.
The street railway companies in
American cities maintain active schools
of bsd manners wherever they fall to
provldea number of vehicles adequate
to carry in a accent manner tne
throngs that a compelled to use them.
Any crowd which Is in a hurry Is apt
to afford practice In bad manners.
There can be no doubt that tne great
majority of American pudiic scnooisare
ctlvely contributing today to the dif
fusion and development of good man
ners among the people, ana nence to
the Improvement of social conduct.
Whoever learns to observe and respect.
through manners firmly based on eth
ics, the lesser rights of others Is likely
to acquire Increased respect for the
larger rights of the neighbor and cltl
sen. Since the safe conduct of democratic
society on Its bold voyage of philan
thropic discovery depends on an un
precedented development of mutual
good will, manifested kindliness and
hearty co-operation, the function of the
common schools in teaching manners
and morals Is plainly one of the most
Important parts of publlo education,
and the main reliance of democratic
optimism.

FUND HID IS READY
Pledges Totalling $25,000 Are
Given Willamette University.
SUPPORTERS ARE PLEASED
President Homan Points Ont That
Last Quarter of $100,000 Will Be
Most Difficult Part of Sub-
e
crlptlon to Be Secured.
v One-quarter of the $100,000 sought
in Portland for the half-mllllon-dollar
endowment fund for Willamette-University
has been pledged in the first
three days of actual solicitation.
Such early success was hoped for, but
hardly expected by Dr. Homan and Dr.
Hancher. and the Willamette backers
in the city are correspondingly elated
with hope of a whirlwind campaign to
a triumphant victory for the Salem in
stitution. Several large pledges have been sc
oured, in the sums of $5000 and over,
but the managers of the campaign at
this time feel that it would be inju
dicious to make public the names of
the generous friends of the university.
"The fact that pledges for practically
$25,000 were secured In three days,"
said Dr. Holman, "should not be un
derstood to mean that getting this
amount represents only three days'
work.
Extended Work Cited.
"Some of this money has been In
sight for weeks yes, I guess I may say
for months. Some of the donors have
had the question under consideration
for a long time. The needs of the
university and the duty of Methodism
to rally to its aid at this time had
been called to the attention of some
of these people weeks ago. Some of
the donations are the results of seed
sown carefully and Judiciously even
farther back than that.
"Another thing I would call atten
tion to Is that some of these gifts are
from people who give not because they
are Methodists, nor even because they
are special friends of Willamette Uni
versity, but because they are friends
of and believers in Christian educa
tion, and feel that a gift to Willamette
at this time will be the best aid to
that end that can be offered in the
Northwest.
Last Half Held Difficult.
"And one more point," said President
Homan, in conclusion. "I would warn
Willamette's friends from a too hasty
enthusiasm over this most generous
response so quickly following our ap
peal. They must remember that the
last half will be harder to get than
the first half, and the last $25,000 will
be the hardest $25,000 of the whole
amount"
Satisfactory replies are being re
ceived to the Invitations for the lunch
eon given by business and professional
men In honor of Dr. Nicholson at the
Commercial Club tomorrow evening,
and it seems certain to be an enjoyable
and successful social event.
MINSTRELS PLAN TOUR
UXCOLX SCHOOIi PCPIXS TO
VISIT COLLEGE TOWNS.
Special Car Will Carry Troupe of
Amateur Actors to Eugene and
Corvallls This Week.
With the laurels they won at the
Bungalow Theater still verdant on
their respective brows, members of the
Lincoln High School Minstrels will
start the end of this week for a two-day
road trip, visiting Eugene and Cor
vallis.
Students at both the State University
and Oregon Agricultural College will
have one opportunity, the minstrels say,
really to relax and to enjoy life. The
minstrels will play Friday night at the
Eugene Theater and the following night
at the Corvallls Opera House.
At both colleges the Itinerant min
strels will be feted, the high school
alumni associations having promised to
make the barnstorming trip a thor
oughly profitable one for the Athletic
Association of tne Lincoln mgn, to
wards which the funds will go. The
alumni associations have promised to
sell tickets, act as constables and do
other offices of that nature.
The company will travel In Its own
luxurious palace car, will carry Its own
scenery, costumes and "props." In ad
dition to the members of the minstrel
troupe there will be the orchestra, com
pany electrician, company stage man
ager, wardrobe mistress and all the
paraphernalia that is part of the high'
est class of road production.
The minstrels say they are deter.
mined to let both cities know that the

the llvest organization of any kind that
ever left Portland. With the excep
tlon that both songs and Jokes will be
localized around the universities, the

NO EARTHQUAKE IMMUNITY
No Reason Why They Should Xot Oc
cur Anywhere on the Earth.
New Tork Times.
Scientists who have made a study of
earthquakes expressed no astonishment
at the fact that extensive shocks Baa
occurred in Germany and Switzerland,
where heretofore they have been almost
unknown. They said that while earth
quakes were more common In certain
other localities, there was no reason
why one should not occur anywhere.
"Earthquakes in central turope are
unusual," said one seismologist, "but
that doesn't mean that there is any
thing surprising about one. The seis
mologist, hearing of one, is inclined
rather to say to himself, 'Hello, there's
something going on In that region
now I'
"The something that goes on, outside
of districts where volcanic disturb
ances are the direct cause of shocks,
is usually a break or geological fault,
a slipping of a stratum of the earth's
crust, which may first crack and then
sink or be thrust up, according to the
direction of the stress that caused it.
This rupture is enough to cause tremors
through the earth, often with resulting
damage to buildings.
"The ideas some people have that the
earth rolls up in great waves like the
sea is erronous, and those who describe
how they have seen these waves rip
pling across a field, are much gifted
in imagination. In fact, the ground
moves upward, downward, obliquely, or
horizontally, through a very amall frac
tion of an inch, and seldom through a
space of more than two or three Inches.
The destructiveness of an earthquake
depends more on its velocity than on

Whatever the causes, it Is certain that
stresses have accumulated sufficient to
raise great mountain systems and bring
about much deformation of the rocks of
the earth's crust. It Is reasonable to
Euapose that these stresses may at cer
tain times and places accumulate to
such an extent as to cause violent rup

quake shock.

stresses, therefore, would be more un
usual In this neighborhood, yet there is
no reason why one should not exist and
