    THE SUNDAY OREGONTATT. PORTLAND. MARCH 15, 1914.

ByegoDe Da in Aberdeenshire, by John
Allanlyce. fl.r'.. and mall charges. The
Central Frees, 61-63 Belmont street, Aber
deen, Scotland, and J. K. Gill Co., Port
land, Or. - i
The old Oregon country was settled
originally by Scotch under Dr. John
MoLoughlin, and it is safe to say that
in his band these Scotch settlers left
numerous descendants. It may be as
sumed that among these Scots were
natives of the Scotch county, or shire
of Aberdeen. Up to the present time
immigrants from Scotland to this Or
egon of ours have been numerous, and
they may be trusted to keep green
memories of the old country.
So the book "Byegone Days in Aber
deenshire," 262 pages, on coming to
Oregon, finds its way to a large Scotch
constituency. It will not be received
as a stranger. It is an excellent book
and merits careful reading.
The book is a delightful "pawky" or
. humorous one of Scotch reminiscences,
filled to the brim with stories, show
ing how men aud women lived,- fought,
agreed, drank, married and died In
the Scotch county of Aberdeen, in the
last few centuries. Our author is
kind and genial in his historical and
racial estimates rather than cynical.
'The writer lias endeavored in this
Volume," says .Mr. Allardyce, "to pre
sent a general narrative showing some
of the developments and changes which
have taken place during the last few
centuries, and he has drawn freely
upon works, newspaper and magazine
articles, manuscript and other unpub
lished matter. He hopes that the
record of facts, presented as they are
without embellishment or elaboration.
Will be appreciated by readers."
The chapter heads are: Ways and
Customs; Agriculture; Ministers and
Religion; Schoolmasters and Educa
tion; Doctors and Medical Science;
Arts and Manufactures; Fisheries;
Granite Industry, and Folklore.
"Although the inhabitants of Aber
deenshire ceased long ago to live in
dugouts, yet a large proportion of
them lived all through the centuries
until well into the lDth in very prim
itive dwellings," says our author,
'with the exception of the landed pro-,
prietors, who had their stone-and-lime
castles and mansions, the bulk of the
people lived in 'houses made of rough
tstones and turf, and thatched with
heather, straw and clay. The wood
work of the roof had to be strong, in
order to support the weight of divots,
heather and clay. Window glass or
horn was dear and very small win
dows had to suffice. It was not an
uncommon thing to see a third of the
window space occupied by a board.
Houses were, in consequence, poorly
lighted. The accommodation usually
consisted of a 'but and a ben,' with a
mid-closet at the back of the 'trance.'
The floor was earthen, and the walls
whitewashed. In some houses the cowsj
lived in one end and the family in the
other, all using ..he same door. Some
- times the byre had to be passed
through before the kitchen could be
reached. The best room In the house
might contain a few chairs and
table, an eight-day clock, a chest of
drawers, a lookingglass, a bun-bed and
a. cupboard or two with paneled doors."
It is of past conditions in'Aberdeen
shire that Mr. Allardyce writes, and in
the paragraph just quoted he describes
conditions that used to exist on the
email farm or ranch of a farmer who
paid rent. The people in cities or
towns of Aberdeenshire lived in houses
and had about the same advantages in
city life as the most civilized of con
temporaneous peoples wheresoever lo
cated. Some of the humor in the book hits
iiard. Some hospitable Aberdeenshire
ri.en were not satisfied, in the days of
hard drinking, until all the guests re
quired assistance in getting to bed:
and at funerals there was much drink
ing, as plenty of drink was held to be
an antidote to grief. On one occasion
a Strathbogie farmer and his friends
paid, in whisky, so much respect to
tile deceased the farmer's wife that
tliey ultimately set out for the church,
yard, forgetting to take the corpse
with them. At length the farmer rec
ollected the business they were on and
exclaimed: "Hech, sirs, we've forgotten
the guid wife." The mourners retraced
their steps and rectified their mistake.
The same farmer was married again,
and after the wedding ceremony every
body's health was drunk. The farmer
set out on horsebaCK for his farm with
his bride seated behind him. At the
first ford they reached the bride fell
from the horse's back into the water.
"Unconscious of the loss he had sus
tained the befuddled farmer rode to
h . farm and requested his servants to
"tak doon the bride." On being told
that there was no bride there he re
membered the splash in the lord and
ordered his servants to search for "his
better half. The doughty bride was
found, calmly drying her clothing at
a farmhouse near the scene of the ac
cident. Such are sample stories from this
chatty book. There are o course more
serious ones. The progress that Ab
erdeenshire has made in medicine, law,
literature, temperance, etc., are faith
fully noted.
A notice appears of Dr. Alexander
Cran, father of the late John Cran, of
this city. Dr. Alexander Cran was"
born at Belhinnie, Rhynie, and was
the son of a farmer. Graduating as a
eurgeon at London, in 1S2G, Dr. Cran
commenced medical practice at Tar
land and had a medical district 20
miles in extent, his various visits be
ing made on foot and on horseback.
On several occasions, it is related, dur
ing these night Journeys he was at
tacked by robbers. For 44 years Dr.
Cran practiced in Tarland, going on
his horseback rides in all sorts of
weather, and retiring from his med
ical practice when he was 70 years old.
For several years afterward he lived .
In retirement at Wester Clova, Kil
drummy. It will interest, especially Scotch
cattle-breeders, to read the account
xriven of the life of Amos Cruickshank,
an Aberdeenshire man famous as aj
breeder of shorthorn cattle. Mr.
Cruickshank was known as a cattle
man who Ehipped many pedigreed
bulls to this country, and indeed to
nearly all parts of the world.
Dr. Davidson, of Wartle. was a
physician known far beyond the boun
daries of his county.
Quarrymen all over the Pacific
Coast, and elsewhere, will remember
John Fyfe, the Aberdeen quarryman
of that name. Mr. Fyfe opened up the
famous Kemnay granite quarries in the
year 1858, on the estate of Alexander
Burnet, of Kemnay, and he also opened
the Tom's Forest and Corrennie gran
ite quarries. Mr. Fyfe handled most
of the big contracts for granite build
ings all over Grea-' Britain, and out of
It, being widely recognized as "the
king of the quarrying industry." The
Kemnay quarry has furnished granite
for the well-known Thames embank
ment, the Forth and Tay bridges,
Marischal College, Aberdeen, etc
It has been a pleasure to review a
book brimming over with such excel
lent Scotch stories.
Hr Own Ktory. by Josoph H. Appel. 50 ccntl.
Plait & Peck. New York City.
Mr. Appel is one of the best known
end successful advertising men in this
country and he is the director of pub
licity ' for the famous Wanamaker
("tores, Xew York City and Philadel
phia. This little book of 146 pages is

private and business life, and is "so
helpful, so inspiring that all young
men and women ought to read it. Such
a book forms character and spells suc
cess. Mr. Appel was an unsuccessful law
yer atfirst in his young business ca
reer and then he was offered and ac
cepted a position as state editor on
McClure's Times newspaper. Philadel
phia, at $20 per week. "The Philadel
phia Times under Colonel McClure,"
says our author, "during its short life,
turned out more real newspaper men
than any other American newspaper."
Not so. I was employed on another
newspaper in Philadelphia at the time
Colonel McClure edited the Times, and
many of my personal friends were his
employes. They told me- that it was
an office for cyclonic upheavals; that
salaries were poor, and that the force
was "scrapping" nearly all the time.
The Times was then known as an ad
mirable paper, but was too often, at in
tervals, a whining scold. The one
American newspaper that has turned
out more real newspaper men than any
other American newspaper is either
the New York Herald or World in my
opinion.
"My Own Story" tells largely of Mr.
Appel's success as advertising man at
wanamaker's aud is an admirable how-to-do-it,
a key to a locked door, in
American advertising. The book's
crisp, short, get-there sentences are
worthy of warm praise.
Life of Theodore Thornton 1 linger, by Ben
jamin W iener Bacon, P. D. fi. Yale Uni
versity Press, i'ew Haven, Conn.
"I think I have learned that fidelity
is not only the chief duty but the
sweetest end of life."
So wrote this eminent Congrega
tionalist minister of New England, an
author and preacher who in his day
did a good deal toward stamping the
impress of his good, exalted character
on the minds of all those with whom
he came in contact at Yale University.
He died January 11, 1910.
The book, 409 pages, under review
is the life story of a New England
minister, and is called by the author
"the simple story of a noble ideal
faithfully pursued." The book is an
admirable study, but it is too bulky
and its price, S3, is high. A better
book would have been the result had
the subject-matter been more carefully
selected and edited.
Evidently the book has been printed
and bound in a hurry. We finish read
ing pace 314, and on turning to the
succeeding page, which ought to be
315, we meet with page 3U1. We read
from page 33!) to page 346, and meet
again with page 331.
This 'is not written in a spirit of
fault-finding, but in the hope that if a
reprint ia called for these mistakes may
be rectified. This notice is written by
one who has spent happy years in New
England, particularly at Springfield
and Boston, Mass.

The New Dawn, by Ames C. Tjmt. 1.SS. Il
lustrated. Moffat, Yard & Co., New York
City.
Young Tom Ward is introduced in
his drunken father's house as he, Tom,
vaguely hopes to meet with a lucky
chance to rise in the Industrial ladder.
Tom is a helper in the big shipyard
controlled by Admiral Westerley, but
at that stage of the game Tom is just
a unit along with nearly 7000 other
fellow empleyes. He unearths the se
cret details of a threatened strike and
gets in return advancement in
the engineering department of the
shipyards. He climbs the business
ladder and the ease with- which he
wins out in industrial troubles is re
markable. He marries Admiral Wes

to be a resistless industrial force,
without remorse for the fallen or those
unable to fight in the struggle. The
portraiture of cold. Napoleon-like
Ward is an unusually powerful one,
and he and the novel are worth know

115 pages nearly 100 high-class poems,
mostly selected from the Outlook. In

Some WorM-Circult .Saunte rings, by William
rota isicnois. illustrated. Paul Elder
Co., San Francisco, Cal.
Exquisitely illustrated and graphic
ally written, this artistic travel book
to Euroce and Asia, and particularly
the Orient, a book written by that re
spected churchman, the bishop of Cali
fornia, is a delight to eye and mind.
To commemorate the bishop's 20th
anniversary in 1916 the diocese of
California made it possible for the
bishop, Mrs. Xichols and their daugh
ter to enjoy such a trip as has been
outlined already, and here is the rec
ord of the journey.
Bishop Nichols writes in a pleasant,
genial, discoursive way, most charm
ing to meet with in print. Tiii book
of travel observations will be of espe
cial interest to Pacific Coast church
men, and deserves to bo recognized as
one of the artistic gift books of the
year.
A. Bishop Among His Hock, by Kthclbert
Talbot. D. 1., Bishop of Bethlehem, Pa.
$1. Harper & Brothers, New Yo city.
If there were more church workers
as sincere and neignbor-ioving as
Bishop Talbot, and more helpful books
like the one now under review, critics
would not get the chance to ask: Why
don't peoplo go to church? Has the
church lost its grip? The reason is
that churches would so gain new life
that church buildings would be filled
with auditors as in another generation.
The 19 chapters are intimate talks,
written in the too brief restful days
of a busy bishop. Personal responsi
bility among church members is urged.
and the non-sectarian appeal Is noted
with deep approval. A safe book, em
phatically for young people, and those
who have left the cnurcn. xne latter
are called back.
Boycott and the Labor Struggle, by Barry
w. JLiUQier.- jonn x.aae u., new iora
City.
Mr. Laidler Is a New York lawyer
and is a specialist on the subject cho
sen: "Boycotts." "His book of 488 pages
Is a timely aad authoritative discus
sion of the economic and legal aspects
of the boycott as used by various
groupB in industrial society, particu
larly by labor. It discusses the em
ployment in labor disputes of strike
breakers, private detectives, black
list, etc.. and analyzes the forces di
recting the platform, police, militia,
constabulary and courts. Sabotage an
other weapons of destruction are also
explained. Occasionally Mr. Laidler is
unfair and bitter, for instance on pages
307-8, hut on the whole his book is
one of the best balanced studies so far
shown. i
The Modern Short Story, by Lucy Lilian
Notestein. !n collaboration with Waldo
Hillary Dunn. fL The A. 3. Barnes Co.,
New York City.
The literary method or plan followed
in this book is based upon what Pro
fessor Dunn used in teaching large
classes in short-story writing, in the
University of Wooster since 1909. The
pages are 211, and while the book Is
designed primarily as a college text
book, it will meet with favor from pri
vate students, teachers' reading cir
cles, etc. The style used is agreeable
and informing and shows the short
story as a work of art.

sense of obligation to Israel and to
Israeli tish thought, as seen in the re
searches of modern scholarship. The

Israel; The Prophets; The Influence of
the Prophets Upon Modern Thought
The Priests; The Debt of Israel and
the World to Hebrew Law; The Sages

Sonnets From the Trophies of Jose-Maria de
Heredla, translated into English by Ed
ward Robeson Taylor. Printed for the

DEAD MAN'S ISLAND, OLD
LANDMARK, IS DOOMED
General Appropriation Bill Carries Provision for Widening Los Angeles
Harbor Lincoln High School to Appoint Public Defender.
LOS ANGELES, CaL, March 14.
(Special.) Lead Man's Island, his
toric and picturesque landmark at
the entrance to the'Los Angeles har
bor channel, is to bo destroyed. The
rocky tomb of nine men and one wom
an, silent custodian of many erim
tragedies of another century, it stands
as an obstruction in the path of tre
mendous maritime progress here and
must fro.
In the peneral harbor appropriation
bill now before Congress is an Hera
fo rtlie widening of the channel to
1000 teet. president Woodman, of the
Harbor Commission, has announced
that an effort will be made to have
the widening- appropriation put through
separately, so that the work cjn be
bcRun and completed soon.
If the channel is widened to 1000
feet all of the island nill have to be
removed. Secretary of War Garrison
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels saw i
and spoke of the advisability of widen
ing and dredtrins to that extent
Should the Government decide to
dredge only 700 feet, all the island ex
cept a rocky corner must De cut away.
The island is still of considerable
proportions and is nearly a hundred
feet high. Within the recollection of
some of the old residents of San Pedro
it has been diminished by one-balf or
more. 1
, There" have been ten persons In all
buried on .the island nine men ana one
woman. j

this public defender. To bo sure, if
he wishes, he may retain special coun
sel or may plead his own case, but the
public defender will be there,' ready
to fight for any student, on trial on
any charge.
The constitution, which has just been
ratified by the student body at large
and which provides for the public de
fender, says nothing which bars girls
from this office. The position, there
fore, is open to all the school the fair
Portias, as well as the coming legal
lights of the state. The office corre
sponds exactly to that of county pub
lic defender.
Final agreement has been reached
by city officials and representatives of
tiie Pacific lilectric Railway upon the
plans for tbo early construction of the
elevated railway east from the Pacific
Electric building to San Pedro street.
The fruit of this agreement will be
the granting of a franchise by the City
Council to the railway company at an
early date, so that the work of build
ing the firct unit in the new Log An
geles elevated system may be rushed.
This plan provides for a four-track
road, with wide, commodious passage
ways to permit passengers to enter and
leave cars through the building.
