PORTLAND FRIEND

Thomas W. Waggaman. ths real estate
king of Washington. D. C. whose finan
cial failure was recently reported, haa
at least one staunch admirer In the city
of Portland. He Is Prof. W. H. Tlerney
of Columbia university, who was Inti
mately acquainted with Waggaman
While attending school In Washington.
"The creditors of Mr. Waggaman,"
aald the professor, "have endeavored
to have his property assigned In such
a way as will give them each an equal
amount, but Mr. Waggaman haa pre
ferred one creditor and It la his ac
tion In so doing that I want to defend.
Eight years ago he was mads treasurer
of the Catholic university st Washing
ton and he has since that time received
funds from them to the extent of about
6600,000. When he realised his financial
condition and saw the crisis approach
lnsr he turned over to the university his
art gallery, which Is valued at $3,000,000.
tnat tne institution mism yiu
tected. Some have criticised him for
doing so, but I happen to know that Mr.
Waggaman was not paid for his ssrv
Ices. He simply had hlB heart In the
university and would not accept a penny
for the transactions hs msde for them.
He regarded It as a personal trust and
gave them his personal property to make
good. Personslly I consider his act a
most graolous one and believe his credi
tors will eventually realise the Justice of
his stand."

proaches, and the prospects of the grow
ers and Increase of estimates on ths to
tal yield Is growing apace. Many of
the yards, according to reports, which
have hitherto been looked upon as par
tial failures have Improved to such an
extent, presumably on account of the
rains of several weeks ago. which
seemed to have gone direct to the hops

and where It did the most good, and
the estimates for the state are steadily

With 26 cents being freely offered, the
prospects for a good price for this year's

To Establish Test Station.
A proposition Is made by officials of
the bureau of forestry of the depart
ment of agriculture, who. It is under
stood, will recommend to the bureau
that a teat station be established. If he
state or university officials will sgree
to set aside a labratory for that pur
pose and expend In the neighborhood of
16.000 for Its equipment with the necee
sary machinery and apparatus.
In order to comply with this latter re
quirement It would be necessary to
either await the meeting of the next
session of the legislature and an appro
priation therefrom, or the money ould
be expended out of (the funds appro
priated for the university by tbe last
assembly. After the station has once
become established the expense of keep
ing It up would be very slight, while the
government would furnish a man to can
duct it and bear all expense necessary
thereafter.
