HE! V. SCOTT
OF IDE
Passes Away Sunday Evening
at Baltimore Following a
Surgical Operation.
JNEXPECTED WEAKNESS
OF HEART DEVELOPES,
as Man of National Reputa
tion as an Editor and
Politician.
( Special to The Times.)
BALTIMORE, August S. Harvey
W. Scott, editor of the Oregonlan,
died at the John Hopkins' Hospital,
Sunilnv shortly before C P. M., of
heart failure, thirty-two hours after
a surgical operation for prostate
troubles. He went off the operating
table Saturday morning in a strong
condition. Sunday morning he began
sinking, and In spite of the best stim
ulants known to the medical science,
his heart grew steadily weaker until
the end. He was conscious almost to
the last and the end was painless.
Mr. Scott began failing nearly
three months from an attack of scia
tica. Early In June ho went to the
Ho, Lakes in Eastern Oregon, but
the baths debilitated him. At last
convinced that only surgery could re
lieve him, he started for Baltimore
from Portland a week ago Thursday.
The operation was pronounced to
be entirely successful and the sur
geons and physicians were confident
of his recovery, until suddenly an un
expected weakness of the heart en
sued which the physicians were pow
erless to copo with.

TOR YEARS AX EDITOR.
Harvey W. Scott was born In Taze
well county, Illinois, near Peoria, on
February 1st, 1S3S. His father was
John Tucker Scott, a farmer, and the
son was reared In the same calling.
He attended the district school, but
his early educational facilities were
limited. In 1S52 Harvey Scott came
with his father across the plains to
Oregon, They settled first in Yam
hill county, and one year later went
to Mason county, Wash. Here tho
son did his part of clearing a farm.
When the Indian wars, broke out he
enlisted as a private in the volunteer
forces formed to fight tho Indians. In
1857 he walked from the farm to
Forest Grove, Ore., over 150 miles,
and emered school. The father
moved to Oregon and settled on a
farm near Oregon City, to which
Place the son went after his short
schooling.
For some years Mr, Scott worked
on farms and in sawmills and also
taught school, going through all the
hardships of the early days, of which
he had his full share. He would earn
enough to go to school for a time and
then would have to work for another
period to continue his education. In
1S63 he received his diploma as tho
first graduate of the Pacific Univer
sity. After leaving school Mr. Scott went
to 'he placer mines of Boise Basin,
Idaho. in lSGI he returned to Port
land and for a year studied In the law
office of E, D. Shattuck. Mr. Scott

of the Day.
The Caledonian picnic given Sun
day at Charleston Bay was a great
success. The Scotch people were
there In large numbers and had a
fine day of it. Those who were re
garded as eligible as Scotch were any
who could trace back to Scotch grand
parents, and there were many such
and some who were native born. More
of the Scotch people in this locality,
however, seem to be of the Canadian
Scotch line. The picnic was not con-1
fined to Scotch people and many oth
ers were there. j

boats were comfortably loaded and

enough left over to for supper before
returning home.
In the afternoon there was a pro
gram of races to entertain the peo
ple. A small platform had been put
and on this there was dancing.

John Mclsaac had his bag pipes and
furnished the music and several
danced. The "most prominent of the
dancers were Peter Scott and Joe Mc -

left no doubt of their being true
Scots, if any such doubt had ever ex
isted. The result of the various races
was as follows:

There was much Interest ln the old
men's race between Joseph McKennon
and Peter Scott, who showed that
they were not too old to run races
and could do that as well as they
could dance.
Mrs. James Bennett was Induced
to challenge her husband, and the
race In which she beat Mr. Bennett
created much fun for everybody.
After the races the crowd was
called together and an address was

Scotch people and said that he
thought while the picnic was a big

larger one and that the Scotch people
should get together every year and

Murray to act in the land cases. In
this way he secured 10,000 contracts.
Tho terms were ten por cent attor

said he was one of those who signed
the ten per cent contract and (hat ho.
In common with other Indians, had
become discouraged at tho govern

said the Indians would have given 25
per cent and that there were some

even to have given 75 per cent If
they could have gotten tho money

Holman said the Indians were fully
aware of the value of the land and
that they knew perfectly that thi3
valuation ran somewnere oeiween
