The aerrlces at the cemetery were pri
vate and were conducted bv Rev. Henry
Marcotte. ,
K. E. Hekbert. president of the
Multnomah Bar Aeanclatlon. presided
over the service at the theater. The
speakers were Circuit JudKe McOInn
and Kavanauah and H. H. Northrup
and Kenoa Smith, former Judges and
prominent members of the Multnomah
County bar. who were Intimate friends
and a.so-lates of Judge Marquam.
Draped In an American flag and
banked with wreaths of beautiful
flowem. the coffin which contained the
body of Juilice Marquam occupied the
center of the stage. Immediately In
front of the footlights were banks of
flowers, tributes of friends of the man
who for more than (0 year waa closely
identified with the leaal. commercial
and social life of Portland.
Maay Pay Last Trlbate.
On one side of the stage were
grouped the pall bearers and honorary
pall bearers; on the. other, the speak
ers of the day. The body of the theater
was well filled with people of the city
of Portland and of the state of Oregon
at large, who had come to pay their
last tribute of respect to the deceased
pioneer, the man who. to borrow an
expres!on of Judge McGinn, showed
his faith in the future of tMs city by
constructing the Marquam building 20
years before Its time.
"Work as If for life eternal: live pre.
pared to die tomorrow," a proverb
found Inscribed on a wall of one of
the ancient European monasteries, waa
taken by Judge McGinn aa the text of
his remarks. With this saying aa a
basts, he sketched the life of Judge
Marquam. declaring that the career of
the pioneer who baa now left the earth
for ever behind, la well epitomised in
these words.
There was a deep and Impressive still
ness when the members of the Boyer
Male Quartet quietly filed upon th
stage from behind the scenes Just be
fore Judge McGinn began the closing
address and sang. "Nearer My God to
Thee." The selection seemed peculiar
ly appropriate. It was splendidly ren
dered and gave a beautiful and artis
tic touch to the ceremonies.
Utaaach Cnrage Rraaeaaberea.
Judge McGinn dwelt particularly on
the Indomitable and unconquerable
ptrlt of Judge Marquam. He told
ty old man's wealth having been sud
denly and unexpectedly swept away
at the age of 7. the fruition of a life
time being lost. Judge Marquam. he
declared, did not lose courage, but. al
though even thvn five years beyond the
allotted span, had declared his ability
and determination to rebuild his shat
tered fortune. This was an example,
the speaker declared, which others
wou'.d do well to heed.
-I cannot, and do not believe that
all there Is of Judge Marquam lies
witnln this bier." spoke Judge McGinn.
I am not able to demonstrate the
truth of my theories, but I feel cer
tain this tabernacle of clay la not all
there was of our friend and pioneer.
S-tntlsia have told na that there i
no life beyond the grave. Science can
determine only se far aa there are phe
nomena. Beyond that there ia religion,
the teachings of Jeeua Christ, who said.
l am the resurrection and the life; he
that belleveth In me. though he were
lead, yet shall he live: and whosoever
Iiveth and beUcveth In me shall sever
die."
Baalaeaa Sagacity RreallreV
Reference to the dead pioneer's busi
ness sararlty and foreslghtedness was
made br Mr. Smith, who was some
what ldenttlled with this phase of the
career Jodk Marquam. Mr. Smith
aid thai judge Jieiauam ih for many
)ears the greatest landowner In Mult
nomah County and that he carried
scores of mortgages; his theory, based
on faith in the future, being that the
property would advance In value much
more rapidly than the Interest on the
mortgages and the repayment of prin
cipal amounts would consume It. Al
though he was, as a result, often In
dire need of money. Judge Marquam.
according to Mr. Smith, nevor begged
for It, and he could get it to finance
bis propositions when other plans
equally meritorious on the face of them
failed.
"On one occasion Judge Marquam
came to me and said that he wanted
about 125.000." said the speaker. "Some
days later, a client told me that he
had tlO.oqp in the bank which he would
like to loan. I went to see Judge Mar
quam and he ofered me as security
the block n . hli-h this theater now
stands, it wa- eood security for three
or four times the amount.
"When. In later years, adversity be
came his lot he did not quail but con
tinued fighting and working like the
man that he was. Discouragement did
not come easily to him."
Judge McGinn emphasised this char
acteristic of the dead man when he
said:
. -I was In this theater 23 years ago
when It was thrown open to the public
with a brilliant Derformance. There
j were Insistent cries for Judge Marquam.
' the man who had dared to venture so
I far In advance of the times. He was
67 years of age, but he came forward
and made a speech through which ran
the Idea that he was Just beginning his
life's work. This was at an age when
many men are preparing to or have re
tired." Emphasis was laid by Judge Kava
naugh on the conclusion that the life
history of Judge Marquam provides an
object lesson which all may study to
advantage. He referred to him aa a
man of keen business sense, kindly dis
position, sterling honesty both In
thought and action, unbounded optim
ism und a disciple of hard work and
right living. The speaker drew a beau
tiful word picture of Portlnnd and en
virons at the time that young Marquam
took up his residence here, and spoke
of the lov which must have been Judge
I Marquam's In watching the gradual
' evolution of Portland from a hamlet
to a city of a quarter of a million peo
ple. Too much honor could not be done
pioneers of the Marquum type. Judge
Kavanaugh declared.
"This building In which we are now
assembled stands as monument to the
man to whom we are now paying our
last respects." declared Judge Northup.
"He. above all others, was pre-eminei

In making; the statement that "you

the supposition that you are the typical

Terhaps vou have put aside the hope of "going higher" and are facing a future oi mediocrity just bemg what you are. There
are hundreds who, fretting under the restraint of their employment, are constantly in search of something else, buch men are
not of the inefficient tvpo which dallies, but of the capable class-who, failing to develop their imagination to the point of produc
ing something new and useful, are nevertheless searching the future, not for great financial reward, but for peace, happiness ana
contentment.
For such men an allurinsr prospect is found in the farm. The life in the open, the opportunity to-work for themselves and to
create something, has a great appeal. It brings hope to the discontented and courage to those who are losing heart, lnere is
no foreman or office manager to placate; no landlord to face; no time clock and no fear of losing a job.
The promise of peace and plenty that is held out by the farm is a genuine promise. Farming is a business and must be
conducted as a business if profit is to be gained.' '

labor, and the cost of living will go down instead of up. The home-seeker will find here the requisites that mean everything to
