The mineral exhibit of western Ore gon for the St Louis fair has been collected and comprises most rare and valuable specimens of the state's wealth In mineral property. State Mineralogist J. H. risk has been several months engaged In assem bling the -collection, which now consists of JO. cases ready for transportation, -. Every county in western Oregon is practically .represented in the exhibit and many counties in southern Oregon have contributed to the collection. Sam ples of marble and building stone from near Roseburg, coal from the Meppner , mines, cases of gold ores from mines in all parts of the state, minerals of an . economic value which can be used in manufacturing and agriculture and in the arts are carefully arranged. There are. boxes of fire-clays from west of the Cascades and thren different specimens of Iron ore. Steatite, which Is of great value In the art of lithographing, lin ing of furnace, stoves and fireplaces, for culinary purposes ; and a ;hundred other uses. Is a special contribution from Douglas county, where this mineral is found, in great abundance, Mr. Flsk has, added to the exhibit his own personal collection of several hun dred specimens of rare and small min erals, among which are many valuable ? nuiirw aiiu Bifwiiiiirii vi guiu ore piciteQ tip during several years of prospecting and research In different parts of Oregon.-- ; ;-'f .: "By the time the Lewis and Clark fair Is opened"," said Mr. Flsk.

The woman was tall, angular and SO; the man meek and younger and the cur one of those toy spaniels. All three were at the union depot this morning waiting for the belated Southern Pacific train. Said she: "Fred, you must carry Toots until Alicia arrives, for how disappointed she would be not to see him at the sta tion." Said he; "Alice. I refuse to be a laughing stork longer. I quit. I'm a friend of your bYother, but not of the dog." He dropped It and walked hurriedly toward town. Alice screamed and a bus-driver grabbed the skittering canine mite as it tried to escape. ' Tor Xome la the West A sad-eyed woman, three babies, two telescopes, one basket and no man she knew in sight A scene at the union depot this morning. All appeared weary and worn. The eld est little one could run about and did so. Me was 4 years old. Several times the child wandered s far away that the mother worried until a kind depot at tendant came leading the boy back to tils temporary home. On the early morning O. "R. N. the Dartv arrived from Cheyenne, Wyo. Newton Blake, the husband, works near The Dalles and had promised to meet his little family, as it reached Portland. , He.wai late. Blake came to town last night, and overslept this1 morning. He lovingly kissed wife and babies. He had some money and In the rain with telescopes, baskets, tots and mother the way was led to the -Union hoteL Trans portation to The Dalles is provided for tonight. To Par-Away U Orande. Four women, rather young, but evi dently unmarried, paced in a set-of-fours up and down the walk Just outside the high rail barrier that does duty in keep ing people from the tracks at the union denot One 'had a Journey in view. ' Hand- satchels in triplets were about her. ' When the statlonmaster called time for the east-bound O. R. A N. the "tour ist" passed through the gate with flounce and flutter. It was 15 minutes ere train-leaving.' A porter opened a window, not In a Pull man, and until the engineer pulled the throttle, hand-kisses, handkerchief-shak ing and tears were exchanged and wept by the woman on the seat and her friends behind the rails. Thinking, probably, that the bereave ment was caused by the undertaking of a foielgn mission or a tour around the world the question was asked the eldest of the grief-smitten trio that remained In Portland, "Why such sad parting? Is your friend or relation gone forever T "Oh my, no," came the reply, "but dear Oeorglanna will be in La Orande for three weeks and she may even visit Umatilla before a. return." Much discussion . among Portland clergymen has been aroused by the res olution passed by the Ministerial asso ciation last Monday, declaring deser tion and the scriptural ground the only proper causes of divorce, and declaring that ministers ought not to marry per sons previously divorced on other than these grounds. The Journal received from several ministers expressions of opinion on the question raised. These follow: i ' Rev. E. Nelson -Allen, pastor of Cum berland Presbyterian church,- says: : ; "I think there is altogether too. much laxity .In the matter of divorcement, The laws ought to be made more strin gent -Ministers ought to -refuse to marry divorced persons . unless , their divorcement is secured on , scriptural grounds; but we need some good, strict laws governing marriage as well as di vorce. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, in matrimony as well as in other, things. Every candidate for matrimony ought to be, subjected to a rigid examination as to his intellectual, physical and moral fitness, for such re lationship. Such a "course of precedure would prevent many .a wreck on the matrimonial, high seas." 1 Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop, pastor of the Grace Methodist Kplxcopal church, says: I was nor present on last Monday morning at the ministers' meeting. It appears , that the brethren had their usual good time. I was surprised at the reported attitude of several. . I was im pressed while reading the reported dis cussion that there was a lack of dis crimination between divorce and re marriage. Whether it be according to the scriptures or not, the question in our present complex civilization has be come an exceedingly serious one. It is now both a civil and religious question. The state has-been compelled, by force of circumstances, to interfere with" the marital relation. There can be no ques tion that .the civil causes for divorce have unnecessarily multiplied, and un fortunately as the causes multiply so do the divorces. For a number of years past there has been a quiet -and intel ligent effort to reduce the civil causes. This is the plain duty of the state. Jast in proportion as the causes multiply the marriage relation Is - insecure, and di vorce should be made as dlfflcult ac possible. .-'' ', "The effect of' this would be three fold: First, , the contracting parties would be slower to enter the bond, and more careful in their choice; second, the function of the home would .be better conserved; third, the church, which binds most -marriages, would not . be suthlessly Invaded and subverted by the state. It-is plain that In the matter of divorce the state takes all the re sponsibility, the church having no dl- vorce power. There is, thereforo," a I sense in which divorce is wholly inde pendent of the church, the church hav ing no other function than that of moral suasion.' -; ,,- ,- :. .':" ' j "But remarriage Is different So fat as Jesus Christ is concerned, he only recognised one , cause of . divorce, one condition of remarriage. That is found In ' his -conversation recorded 'at Some length in Matthew, the 19th-' chapter. In that conversation . Jesus used thn words: 'What, therefore, , Clod? hath Joined together, let no man put asunder.' But, as I have indicated, the state Is not a man, but an aggregated and imper sonal authority, and has, no matter what the conviction of the church, cre ated other causes of divorce, and oper ates Independently. The ecclesiastical function appears at the point of remar riage. If there is no -unanimity of ac tion there, and no high-minded attitude, marriage can easily become a curse, and a thing to be put off or on at the whim of tinscruplous parties. - .The minister does not act for himself, but for- the church. His function is ecclesiastical. He stands for the church and Jesus Christ and t becomes him to realize the momentousness oi his act, and nor to be moved by sentiment or irrational sympathy. Those minlRters who shift all responsibility upon the state fall to see that the state divorced the parties, and the church did not; Indeed, -the church had, no voice in it, and that now the divorced man or woman Is appear? lng with another asking the church to seal the. contract The state has -un done one .marriage, and. Hi may be, the very man or woman who now appears, made the breach In. the first marriage. What is the plain duty of the minister, then? This: -To send-the parties back to the state for remarriage. Let the state that divorced them remarry them, If remarried at all. '.That does' several things. It preserves the integrity ; of the church. """It preserves the moral power of the minister. It puts, tho church squarely in defense of the home, and it puts honor upon every man ana woman who, in conscience, keep their vows elthter to the other. "No class. of men can have more in fluence in the correction of this social evil than ministers. Most persons, hav ing a divorce and desiring remarriage. come to the minister first He need not be rude, but courteous, and explain 'the situation, and turn them back .to the GREEN GOODS MAN TAKEN IN CUSTODY An Important and Interesting prisoner waa brought , from : Glendale yester day and his case ,wlll be . investigated by the federal grand . Jury' next week. Assistant District - Attorney tBanks re turned w)th the culprit and believes that he will be indicted on the serious charge of working the "green-goods" scheme, or a game similar to lt ' January lewh Is year E. 8. Eaton ar rived in Oregon from Indian territory end made hirrt home at' Glendale. He took a place as mlllhand and worked from early until late. He worked in other ways, however, in order to enrich himself and sent out letters, to many parts of the United States stating, that he could furnish good imitations of 1, 2, 6 and 10 dollar bills at a great bargain, une oi nis letters fell into the hands of A. M. Dunn of Lewlslon, Idaho, who immediately Informed the federal authorities. The result -, was an arrest and now a cell in the county Jail) where Mr. Eaton.who is about 40 years of age, awaits his punishment. ' Assistant District Attorney . Banks stated this morning that he believed the man to be very smooth, as in the letters he indited he was careful to omit de icrlptlve. words of the bills he- agreed to furnish, and. made tho plea that he was furnishing i only counterfeit conr federate money, ' state. : Usually hey will thank, him: and, even If, as one minister suggested, they get hurt while that would be un fortunate, yet for that reason the min ister must not fall to do his high duty, but to bear In mind the dutv he owea to his nation and to the church of Jesus Christ and to teach ail men that the marriage tie la too sacred to be broken 'with impunity. The increase of th(,i social evn la alarming, and on the coast it is doubly bad. I have been, compelled during my ministry here, to turn away more divorced .persons asklna- for re marriage than " I ever "believed - would come to me in a lifetime.. There Is only one safe " attitude for a minister of Jesus Christ The law of the Methodist Episcopal church forbids marriage tho second .time save for adultery.- I stand ny mat law. The truth is, if a min ister be indifferent and loose in this re spectr-he may do more harm In a few yesrr than he can do good in a century, In conclusion, allow me to suggest that it is my opinion that the state should declare in the divorce, upon -. what grounds the divorce has - been granted. That the Innocent party should insist in every instance. If the ground be adul tery, , that the court shall , record the fact and not through sympathy, as is sometimes the case, make the cause self-desertion or some other, but aduM tery, when it is adultery, and let the guilty party take - the consequences; thenthe minister' would always know the actualf act -1 rom - the -court- iself. Had I been present Monday morning I should ; haye voted for the resolution presented by the Rev. Mr. Sharp." Rev.E. L. House, pastor of the First Congregational-church, Bays: "The Congregational church is in sympathy with more stringent legisla tion in -the direction of conserving the stability , and Integrity of the family. But it has no 'definite rules for its min istry In regard to1 re-marrying any di vorced persons.,. Its preachers' generally, however, use .good -tact and, above all, good common aense In this'matter. My rule is not to-pry- fhto the history pf the parties who Come to me for marriage. I consider it a delicate and embarrassing thing to do. If they have secured a li cense, they "come, with the state right. of marriage, and while in Oregon I have not gone behind the license. If I knew all particulars, oftentimes I should re fuse to reimarry. "I do wish that our licenses revealed the fact whether the contracting parties were divorced or not. This is done in the east and helps the ' officiating cler gyman a good deal." ". Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher, of the First Baptist church, writes; "Mar riage is a divine institution, but not all marriages are made in heaven. Judg ing from results many seem ,.to have been made in the lower world and his satanlc majesty evidently performed the ceremony. Since I am not a spec ialist on this question I prefer to accept the words of scripture as my 'rule of faith and practice, rather than to set tle the thing on my own Judgment. Personally I believe the Bible permits separation of husband and wife for va rlous causes, but with the exception of one cause neither party to the contract is given-the privilege or marrying again. Absolute divorce is conditioned on unfaithfulness to the marriage vow and the Innocent party only given the right to remarry. Since divine law, and civil law ' do not always agree. It be comes necessary for the preacher to de cide In each individual case what he ought to do." n n ,aWaWBaaaMaa.a.asJ.J.iMJ.Tfci.-1 6 o ,v ..-:o "4" AJr'-' . v r F"1! li J"-:nt ;-.'-.,.. V ;-' " " !
