Bray of Mule Doomed.
The annual banquet will be held in
the Imperial Hotel Thursday night
with the Oregon Veterinary Associates
as hosts.
One of the features of the session
will be an attempted operation on a
mule to remove the bray. French vet
erinarians have succeeded in a similar
operation and it has proved to be of
extreme value in connection with army
mules.
In the first place, it was pointed out
that the braying of the animals dis
turbed the rest of the soldiers and it
also resulted in giving the enemy in
formation of the location of troops.
The Oregon and Washington veterinary
surgeons are confident they will be
able to duplicate the successful work
of French scientists.

HARDY TO BE FETED
Public Reception Will Be Held
in Honor of Old Mariner.
CITY TO PAY ITS RESPECTS
Man Who Sailed Willi Perry Will
Tomorrow Kveniiig Tell in Pub- .
lie Auditorium About His
Two Trips to Japan.
They called him the "grandfather of
Japan," all those little boys and girls
of the land where the cherry bloom
blows, and even the Mikado delighted
to honor the hale old hearty who
sailed with Perry and who is last of
that company of American bluejackets
who roused a slumbering empire to
might among the nations.
It seems but fitting, then, that Port
land should extend recognition to Cap
tain W. H. Hardy, in observance of his
return from an extended visit to Japan
the first he had made since that
morning when he pulled the bow oar
in the Commodore s barge across Teddo
Bay.
It is for no other purpose than that
the city should honor a citizen whose
years are many, and whose life chap
ters are of more than usual historical
significance, that a public reception is
to be tendered to Captain Hardy to
morrow night at the Auditorium, when
all Portland will be given an oppor
tunity to pay its respects to the last
of . Perry's crew.
Patriotic Note to Be Struck,
The reception has the sanction of
civic officials and will strike a key
note of high patriotism, at a time when
the Oregon country is rife with the
spirit of the cause. No ordinary even
ing this, promise the committee in
charge, but one to be remembered long
afterward.
Invitations have been sent to Gov
ernor Withycombe. various state offi
cials, officers at Vancouver Barracks
and in Portland. Consuls of the allied

sion.
Friends of long standing with Cap
tain Hardy are the Spanish War vet
erans, and it is from this organization
and from their members enlisted in
the Oregon Military Police that the
ushers of the evening have been cho
sen. They will appear in their blue
service uniforms and will serve both
as ushers and as guards of honor.
When Captain Hardy returned from
Japan he brought a wealth of rare
Japanese art and curios the gifts of
citizens and cities during his progress
through the empire. The finest of
these tokens will be on exhibition at
the reception.
Treasure to Be on View.
There are ancient samurai swords,
one more than- five centuries old: ar
mor such as the knights of the Orient
wore when Christianity, was young,
wondrous vases and silver work, and
huge collections of coins minted by an
cient emperors.
Preliminary speeches will be brief.
for the evening is to be given over for
an hour to Captain Hardy a own ac
count of the Japan that he knew more
than half a century ago and the Japan
that welcomed him when he sailed
back again as the guest of the Japanese
people.
Never before has this story been
told to a Portland audience. Friends
who have heard it assert that the
great-whiskered old sailor has a gen
uine message to America and that his
recital of the trip brings with it a
flood of light upon modern Japan, her
attitude toward America and the real
heart of her people.
Some time tomorrow morning the
committee in charge will bear to Cap
tain Hardy, at his home on Kings
Heights, a hand-illuminated invitation
to be the guest of the city at the re
ception in his honor. Whereat the
Captain will expand his aureole of iron-

be asked to co-operate, and in addition
a large number of floats of a patriotic
nature are expected to be entered in
the pageant.
The afternoon of the Fourth will be
devoted to competitive athletics at Co
lumbia Park. Every shipyard in the
city will be asked to enter their various
teams, and the plans are for an "old-
fashioned" Fourth of July programme

MANY ARE ILL AT POWERS
3Iysterlous Malady Affects 200 in
Districts Along Coast.
MARSHFIELTJ. Or.. June 8. (Spe
cial.) A mysterious illness has
gripped Powers for the past three
weeks and its cause is laid to various
origins, from poisoned water to la
grippe. One report is that alcohol of a
very bad quality is being manufactured
and sold in the neighborhood. People
who do not indulge in intoxicating
drinks are being stricken as well as
others.
The illness is painful for a few days
at the start and cramps frequently ac

Is simply grippe. About 200 cases have
occurred In Powers and the logging
camps near by.

The survival of the fittest will always be the law of
nature. If you don't succeed in business or your profes
sion, nine times out of ten it's your own fault or, rather,
weakness. You may be too sparing of "the midnight oil"
when others are studying and perfecting themselves for
the battle of life.
You may be bright, ambitious even brilliant and
LACK STAYING POWER.
You may be TOO EASILY SATISFIED or too easily
discouraged and give up without a struggle for su
premacy. Somewhere in your makeup there's a weak spot that
you must locate and overcome.
I can honestly claim, without a trace of egotism, that I
am a competent Doctor of Dental Surgery and entitled to
the respect of the public and profession YET THERE
ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER DENTISTS EQUALLY
AS COMPETENT AND SOME WHO ARE UNDOUBT
EDLY PROFESSIONALLY SUPERIOR, who are wast
ing their lives and talents in dark, obscure offices, eking
out a bare living, because they have not found their
"weak spot,"
Some of these dentists are still causing their patients
unnecessary pain some are still "making caps over
teeth" and calling them crowns; some are using inferior
materials, others are incapable of giving their patients
artistic, durable dentistry and many are charging
entirely too much for their services.
My success in building up so large a practice has been
due to forsaking the path of custom and striking out over
the rougher and less certain road of originality.
I found a way to lessen pain; I found a system that
enabled me to save over half the waste in time and mate
rial in my office ; I found that hard work, hour after hour
and day after day, enabled me to handle double the
number of patients satisfactorily.
These had all been "weak spots," common to the pro
fession, and as soon as I overcame them I took the public
into my confidence, showed them how I could give them
better dentistry for less money, how I could save them
time and pain and risk. It sounded true because it was
reasonable and IT WAS -REASONABLE BECAUSE IT
WAS TRUE. .
It does not take the public long to beat a path to the
door of the man who deserves patronage.

CHRIST'S UNIQUE
STATUS
As Redeemer and Savior of
the Race.
By Dr. JAMKS K. TAtMACK V
Of the Couaell of the Twelve. Church of
Jesus t'brlat of Latter-Day Salatsi
Salt Lake City, Utah.
To hosts of earnest and thoughtful
people, comprising many who devoutly
believe in the efficacy of our Lord's
atoning death as a means of redemption
from d-ath and salvation from sin. It is
a matter of surpassing wonder that the
sacrifice of a single life could be mailt
an effective means of emancipation for
mankind.
Scriptures ante-dating the Savior's
earthly life plainly aver that the Atone
ment to be made by Him was to be &
vicarious sacrifice, voluntary and love
tnsplred on His part, and universal in
its application so far as human-kind
would avail themselves of its beneficent
means. These conditions were con
firmed by the personal affirmations of
the embodied Christ, and are attested,
by Scriptures post-dating the tragic
consummation on Calvary.
The concept of vicarious service, in
which one may act or officiate for and
In behalf of another, is as old as the
race. It is, however, fundamentally op
posed to the unscrlptural assumption
that the merits of one man may be ac
counted to the cancellation of another's
sins. Scriptures both ancient and mod
ern, the traditions of the human fam
ily, the rites of altar sacrifice, and
even the sacrileges of heathen idolatry
Involve the basal conception of vica
rious atonement. This principle, of
Divine establishment In its original and
uncorrupted form, was revealed to
Adam Pearl of Great Price, Moses
5:5-8), who offered sacrifices In the
similitude of the then future death of
the Lamb of God. and was taught and
practised by later prophets down to the
time of Christ.
The Scriptures relieve us from the
assumption that any ordinary mortal,
by voluntarily giving up his life even
as a martyr to the best of causes, could
become a ransom for the sins of his fel
lows and a victor over death. Jesus
Christ, though He lived and died as one
of the human family, was of unique
nature. Never has another such as He
wslked the earth. Christ was the only
Being among all the embodied spirit
children of God suited to and acceptable
as the great sacrifice of atonement, t!i
these definite and distinct respects:
1. He was the One chosen and fore
ordained in the heavens to this specific
service.
2. He was and is the Only Begotten
of the Father In the body, and therefore
the only Being ever born to earth who
possessed In their fulness the Inherent
attributes of both God hood and man
hood. 3. He was and is the one and only
sinless Man who has lived in mortality.
Concerning our Lord's foreordinatlon
as the Redeemer and Savior. He has
given us personal testimony with which
the utterances of prophets who lived
before His birth and apostles who
taught after His death are In harmony.
Twenty-two centuries before tae merid
ian of time, the then unembodied C hrlst
revealed Himself to a Book of Mormon
prophet, saying "Brkald I ana ne wao '
was prepared, from the foundation of
Ike world to redeem my people. Benold
I am Jeaua Chrlat." (Book of Mormon.
Kther 3:14). Unto Moses the Father
spake, saying: Thou art la the simili
tude of mine Only Rearottea. and mlno
Only llesrottea In aad shall be the
Savior." (Moses 1:6). These Scriptures
are In accord with Peter's testimony of
Christ as " Lamb without blemish aad
without spot, who verily wan foreor
dained before the fouadatloa of the
world." (I Peter 1:19-20).
As the Eternal Father's Only Begot
ten Son In the flesh. Christ possessed
the inborn power to withstand death
Indefinitely, and this just as naturally
as that He, being the offspring of a
mortal mother, should derive the abil
ity to die. Jesus Christ Inherited
through the operation of the natural
law of heredity the physical, mental,
and spiritual attributes of His parents
the Father Immortal and glorified,
the mother human. He could not be
slain until Ills hour had come, the hour
in which He would voluntarily give un
His life, and permit HI owa deeeaae as
an act of will. How else are His defi
nite asseverations concerning Himself
to- be construed? Consider for example
this: "Therefore doth my Father love
me. because I lay down my life, that I
might take It again. No man taketh It
from me. but I lay It down of myarlr.
I hnve power to Iny It down, and I have
power to take It aaala." (John 10:17-18).
And further: "For as the Father hath
life la hlmaelf. so hath he clvm to the
Son to have life in hlmaelf." (John
5:26).
Christ died, not as other men have
died or Fhall die, because of tnabllity
to escape death, but for a special pur
pose by voluntary surrender. Thus, the
atoning sacrifice was no usual death of
an ordinary man, but the decease of
One who had the power to live. It was
a sacrifice, indeed!
As a sinless Man Christ was exempt
from the dominion of Satan; and 'was
sublimely conscious o His own per
fect probity. He challenged assailants
with the pertinent demand "Which of
you eonvlneeth me of alaf" t.Tohn 8:4:
and in the hour of His entrance Into
Gethsemane solemnly averred: "The
prince of thin world rometh. and hath
nothing In me." (John 14:30).
Had our Lord died as the result of
Satan's power over Him through trans
gression. His death would have been
but an Individual experience, expiatory
in no degree of any offenses but His
own. His absolute freedom from spot or
blemish of sin made Him eligible, His
humility and willingness rendered Him
acceptable as the propitiatory sacrifice
for the sins of the world. In these re
spects, as In that of His having life in
Himself and therefore power over
death. He was of a status absolutely
unique among men. With this knowl
edge spake the ancient Hebrew prophet,
saying: "An the lrd God llveth. there
la none other name aivea under henven.
aavp It be tain Jeaua t'hrlat of which I
hnve apokeu. whereby man can be
anved." (Book of Mormon. 2 Nrpht
5:20).
