Twenty-five yearn ' ag? yesterday
Portland joined hands with the people
of Vancouver. Wash., In a celebration
of the Fourth at Vancouver. It was
one of the few Fourths on which there
was no celebration in Portland. Then
as now safety and sanity were prac
ticed, the celebration being of a mili
tary and patriotic nature, and not
noisy. '
An interesting- account of the cele
bration in Vancouver, showing the
spirit of the people of that day and
their method of doing honor to the
Nation's birthday. Is found in The Ore
gonian of July 5, 1889.
Following are parts of the account
as published under the heading. We
All Celebrate":
Vancouver Street Filled.
"The National holiday was celebrated
at Vancouver yesterday with more than
usual eclat. There being no celebra
tion in this city of any kind, most of
the citizens of Portland, East Portland
and Albina spent the day away from
home, most of them, however, going to
the citv of soldiers. There were with
out a doubt more people in Vancouver
yesterday than on any previous occa
sion. "By 7:30 o'clock everything was stir
ring about the docks of Portland where
the steamers were to start. The G. W.
Shaver left at 8:15 with a happy crowd
and with about 350 on board.
"Captain Shaver did everything in
his power to make the excursionists
comfortable. The First Regiment, Ore
gon National Guard, band accompanied
the excursion and discoursed music
"The procession started at 10:45
o'clock. The grand marshal. Colonel
F. E. Trotter, United States Army,
mounted on a gaily caparisoned steed,
rode at the head of the column. His
aids First Lieutenant R. T. Yeatman,
U. S. A., Adjutant Fourth United States
Infantry: First Lieutenant J. A. Xiusttn,
V. S. A.. Regimental Quartermaster,
Fourteenth U. & Infantry, and civic
grand marshal. Colonel T. B. Glover,
inspector-general, M. G. W., and his
aids. A. D. East and J. .C. Westhoft
followed Immediately after.
Grand Army la Line.
"The G. A. R. were also in line. Els
worth Post No. 2, under command of
past hot N. F. Bolton, turned out about
30 men.
"The liberty car, occupied by Uncle
Sam. the Goddess of Liberty, by 40 lit
tle girls dressed In white and wreathed
In garlands, and two little sailor boys
came next. This was perhaps the most
unique feature of the parade. Miss
Mazte Hellman represented the Goddess
of Liberty and Charles Tomllson, un
Mushingly posed as Uncle Sam. In the
rear of this car stood Miss Mary M.
Cannon holding the flag of Washington
and Miss Effie Snodgrass with her flag
bearing inscription "Pennsylvania."
While along the line of march Miss
Cannon presented Miss Snodgrass with
a purse supposed to contain $5000, or
such a matter, thereby presenting the
contributions of Washington to Penn
sylvania. All the proceeds of the celebration
will be sent to the Johnstown sufferers.
It was 11:40 when the procession
halted in front of the park. General
John Gibbon, the president of the day,
speakers and other invited guests took
seats in the small alcove built to the
rear of the large platform. A selec
tion by the band was followed with
prayer by the Rev. A. J. Joslyn, of
the Vancouver Methodist Episcopal
Church. General Gibbon then ad
dressed the assembly.
Judse Deady Orator.
The Declaration of Independence was
read by P. C Kaufmann In a clear, dis
tinct voice and was frequently Inter
rupted by applause. Judge Matthew P.
Deady was next introduced as the ora
tor of the day.
When Judge Deady had finished,
Hon. M. H. Bloomfield handed hira a
handsome bouquet with the compli
ments of Miss Jaggy, and proposed a
vote of thanks to the Judge and Gen
eral Gibbon.
After Judge Deady had finished his
oration, the audience dispersed and be
took themselves lo...cU3erent parts of
the grounds to take in the baseball
game, footrace,' tug of war, wheelbar
row race, potato race, bicycle race, the
race between man and a horse and
other sporting events. 1
A sham .battle, which began at 5 P.
M., was participated in by both the
regular troops and the National Guards
of Oregon and Washington, and proved
to be the feature of the day.
As soon as the evening had suffi
ciently advanced the committee com

ATTORNEY UPTON CLEARED
Mrs. Brownrlgs Withdraws Suit and
Issues Statement.
OREGON CITT, Or.. July 4. (Spe
cial.) The suit recently instituted in
the Circuit Court against Robert J.
Upton, a Portland attorney, by Mrs.
Belle Brownrisg-. wherein she charged
Upton with fraudulent acts in connec
tion with obtaining a Sheriffs deed to
certain property owned by her, has
been dismissed and the charge of
fraud retracted. Mrs. Brownigg says
that she was mistaken in her under
standing of the facts and, for the pur
pose of exonerating Upton, has filed a
statement with the papers.
I am satisfied that the allegations
of fraud and unfair dealing on the
part of Robert J. Upton were made
through mistake and misapprehension
and are wholly unwarranted, ' says this
statement. '

ENGLISH TRANSLATORS FAIL, BUT
LATIN PUPILS DO NOT. '
Holders of Public Thought Cautioned
to Go Slowly In Indiscriminate Con- ,
demnatlon of Classical Studies.
PORTLAND, July 3. (To the Editor.)
Apropos of the recent discussion in
The Outlook and in The Oregonian con
cerning the merits or demerits of a
classical education, your readers iay
be interested in the results of a recent
examination at the University of Cali
fornia. This examination is required
of all candidates for junior standing
and consists of a reasonably difficult
passage from some one foreign lan
guage to be rendered at sight into
idiomatic English. Of all those who
presented themselves for the test 17
per cent were disqualified for faulty
English in their translations. Of those
who offered Latin, not a single candi
date failed. This circumstance leads
me to the query whethet molders of the
public thought ought not to go a little
slowly in indiscriminate condemnation
of classical studies. .
It is by no means axiomatic that tne
definite, painstaking work required to
make progress in Latin or Greek is not
helpful in rutfbing off the crudities of
an unformed style. It fact, the oppo
site can be maintained in the case of
many observed phenomena.
Three years ago. at the University of
California, a prize of several hundred
dollars was offered for a critique on
one of Tolstoi's studies in economics.
Was the prize-winner a student in the
department of economics? No. Much
to the confusion of the pedagogical
Iconoclasts, the three first papers were
submitted by students of Greek, no one
of whom had ever taken a course in
economics.
It is not long since -William A. Mor
ris, professor of English History In
the University of California, called my
attention to the orry state of current

historical writing In the United States.
To him, the style of our contemporary
historians seems shapeless, "without
form and void."
"We decided . to test several authors
for paragraph structure. We found lit
tle evidence of topic sentences, or of
any regard for coherence or emphasis.
We then examined the works of
French and English historians. The
contrast was remarkable. The para
graph structure was usually Impecca
ble,, and no less so was the connection
between paragraphs.
To what is due this aurerence on
tween writers on the two sides of the
Atlantic? May it not partly arise from
tho difference in stress put on classical
studies. He would be stupid indeed who
could be exposed two hours ana a naii
a riav for four to 10 years without
catching some of that wonderful sense
for form which characterizes jaun anu
Greek. For what teacher of coherence
could hope to practice his own teach
ings more consistently than aoes me
student of Greek whose canons are as
irrevocable as a law of tne JHeoes ana
Persians, that no sentence is ever writ
ten which does not contain some word
showing connection with what goes
before?
So certain is this principle that any
Greek manuscript reading, without
some device making for coherence, Is
at once pronounced corrupt by tne
palaeographer.
There is a time-honored, dictum that
By their fruits shall ye know them."
If we apply this test to the question
in hand, we may be better able to ar
rive at some conclusion. That the dis
cussion may be the more pertinent, I
shall limit the Investigation xo inotso
writers who have contributed to this
discussion in the Outlook and in The
Oregonian. First, there is Dr. Ball
himself, whose article in me uuuoo
on "That Bad Education" was the spark
that set off the whole magazine of
pedagogical fireworks. Let your read
er look up the article itself. If he
does not admit that it was written By
a classically trained man, I will throw
up the sponge.
The fact is that Dr. Hall's effusion
oozes classics from every pore. Realis
ing this state of affairs, a friend of
the classics may be pardoned if he
cries out to this assassin of his stylistic
mother, "Et tu Brute!" '
Passing on to thecontributors of the
Outlook that have arranged themselves
pro and con, I am woefully mistaken
unless the classical champions 'are b
far the most effective writers." The
few nxcentions are classical renegades.
who with fiendish delight plunge their
arrows, sharpened with years of rub
bing against the classics, into the
breast of their "alma mater."
Chief of these image-breakers is Dr.
A. F. Nightingale, erstwhile professor
of Latin and Greek and prominent edu
cator of Chicago. In the whole gamut
of prose, from Cicero to Macaulay, it
would be difficult to find an example
of a style that makes such constant
use of classical devices to produce sen
tence emphasis. Periodic and balanced
sentences abound. Climax, anaphora
and antithesis - appear everywhere,
especially in a' sentence where Dr.
Nightingale gloats with glee over the
relegation of Greek to the "limbo of
Innocuous desuetude."
Many of his sentences aredirect iml
iMtinn nf Caesar and Cicero. To' even
h mnat casual reader the "I read. I
rpasnnpii T reflected." used so effective
ly by Dr. Nightingale, would recall the
famous "Venl. vial, vici oi v,acwi. -fine
of Dr. Nightingale's favorite sen
tence devices is to. begin with a series
nf wnrtlH nhrases or clauses. The first
each Dhrase or clause is often
used in repetition. The. units of the
pH srraw in length as the sentence
- , .
The series culminates in a climax,
upon which the sentence swings, as on
a pivot, with several clauses at the
close to act as a balance. In the use
of this type. Dr. .Nightingale "out
Ciceros Cicero." for two-thirds of his
article is in that form.
Let the cry no longer be that of ex
termination." but of "reformation. If
we classical teachers have fallen short
of our opportunities; if we often have
chosen the husks and left the kernel,
call ns to awak-e, call upon ns to pass
by "cum clauses" and to fire our words
with the enthusiasm of Keats, when he
wrote his sonnet "Upon First Looking
Into Chapman's Homer."
Let The Oregonian lead off in a move
ment by which our classes in Latin and
Greek shall be turned into work shops,
for as in the art schools, the student
gets a mastery of form till he later
can branch off into original work. Just
so the student of Cicero may use the
Roman orator's Invective against Cati
line as a model for a protest against
the "little Americans," who now are
trying to discredit our nation before
the world. From such literary ateliers
may come the sane thinkers and dis
ciplined speakers that will be needed
to cope with the swarm of demagogues
that is overwhelming the political
world. A. P. McKINLAT.

Ashland Current to Be Metered.
ASHLAND, Or., July 4. (Special.)
According to figures submitted by the
superintendent of the municipal elec
tric light plant, the city is losing 300
worth of electric current each month,
for which it receives no pay. Most of
this loss is through carelessness in
stead of deliberate intent. To combat
this the. city is gradually installing
meters on the system, and this will be
a fixed policy hereafter. The appliances
are furnished patrons- free of expense,
except a minimum for .connections and

Early Monmouth Settler Re

Celebration 24 Years) Abo Remem
bered by Thoae 'W ho Vre In Ei
crclnes on Dap'Whea Float and
Ox Tesa Were Only Features, of
Parade.
MONMOUTH. Or., July 4. (Special.)
Monmouth's observance of In
dependence day today brought up early
recollections from the older inhabitants
of the city of the celebration held here
in the year 1890. 24 years ago.
Monmouth's business section stood to
the more eastern part of town, mak
ing up what is many times referred
to now as "Old Monmouth." These
buildings were destroyed in the disas
trous fire of 1896. One wing of the
present Oregon Normal School building
was standing.
The morning of July 4. 1890. arrived
with good weather for the celebration
and at 9 o'clock the parade, if it may
me called such, formed at the City
Hall. It was made up of two parts a
float and a logging wagon, draw by
an ox team. For the float a hay rack
had been carefully decorated on which
the Goddess and the small children of
the community rode. Miss Nettie
Ground (Mrs. David Foulkes) was God
dess of Liberty and Miss Mary Coates
(Mrs T. O. Meador) acted as Columbia.
The float, followed by the ox-drawn
wagon which unexpectedly came from
a nearby logging district, moved
through the town and stopped at the
normal school campua, where the pro
gramme of the day was hold in the
grove. Preceded by musical numbers,
the Declaration of Independence was
read.
The management chose a unique way
of financing the celebration. The head
of the families brought dinner to tho
dinlng-hall of the normal school, sit
uated in the southern part of the
grove, where a force of young womso
placed the "eats" in a general lot. At
noon the lunches were sold at counter,
and. although the citizens bought bark
what they themselves had prepared,
there waa no objection to the plan.
Of the plonoor rou who settled
Monmouth in Ihe early '60s lint one
now survives Mrs. Elisabeth 1'. Lucas,
who was unable to be present at to
day's festivities. Hhe resides In tha
southern part of the city.
The celebration of 18 waa honored
by the presence of the man who was
responsible for Monmouth getting It
name. It was the late Ira K. M. llut
ler, who was then at an advanced aga.
As chairman of an early meeting of
the inhabitants of the town he cast the
deciding vote for "Monmouth" In pref
erence to "Dover."
