the indication la strong- that tha aeaaloa
'will last at least ten days. :
, The aouthernara show an Inclination
to permit Baa Francisco to so ' ahead
for the flfst. few .daya-without inter
ference, but as soon aa tha bigger meas
ures come up It is expected they will
adopt dilatory tactlca. ' To offaet any
" "probable action in this direction, the
, San Fraaclaeo delegation decided thia
.morning to accept tha suggestion of" the
committee of forty as incorporated In
the call and present all bills aa com
xnlttee measurea.
The delegatlon'a meeting this morning
brief and no action beyond this
waa taken to expedite the bualqeaa of

1001, there were ti members In the
Oregon Soldiers' home, and tha annual
per capita expense for tbe year ending
June SO, 1901, was f 200.41. ...-.
On May 1, 10, there were 1SI mem
bers la tha home and tbe laat year's
report shows an annual per capita ex
penae'of I170.C, a saving of nearly $30
per month per man each year. ' -
The members say they have never
fared better than they are doing now
and that they have "the best soldiers'
home la the world." ' . -
Thla happy condition haa been brought
about by Governor Chamberlain and
Commandant Elder and their well se
lected assistant- -.
Tbe members of the home realise thla
and do-vot hesitate to say- so. and -that
the reelection of Governor' Chamber
lain will assure continuance . of - the
present conditions there, while a change
of administration would probably re
new the. political and personal turmoil
which formerly existed in tne noma.

city without their baggage. It haa. been
delayed because of tha floods In eaatern
Oregon. It la likely that several days
will elapse before these sample esses
can be brought to Portland, and then
there will probably be the usual bunt
for, tost, baggage that follows a serious
tletip.-
- Meanwhile sampleless commercial
men are sitting around in hotel chairs
and ' mutterina against railroad com'
panics and floods, soma of them have
ben able to attend to the wants of old
customers without the use of samples.
fbut the gfeatefrimi l of those without
their trunks are compelled to wait in
idleness.
"We have been cut out of throe daya
already," aald one prominent commer
cial man thla morning, "and It may be
a week yet before we get our baggage.
That meana a big loss to us, especially
at thla time of the year. There "la no
one to blame, of course, so we can't
kick at anybody; but we are Just sore
at tha world In general because of the
delay."
Antethetlcal" to these ' baggageleaa
commercial men are those who have
their baggage here but cannot have It
transported to . their territory east of
Umatilla. They have sent out their ap
pointment cards to their-eastern Ore
gon customers and. fear that delay will
give the Spokane houses a big advant
age. But1 they, too, are compelled to alt
around In the hotel lobbies and wait and
worry and kick.
CATHOLIC CHURCH BUYS
LAND ON THE EAST SIDE
In anticipation of the future growth
'of Portland the Catholic church haa re
cently acquired tracts of land on the
east side where churches will eventually
be built. A tract 160 feet lnarea was
recently acquired on Union avenue,
another bf the aame dimensions was
acquired on Grand avenue and a third
200 feet in area waa purchased on Al
berta street. - - ;
Definite plana have not been an
nounced by Archbishop Christie but It
la aald that In the course of a short time
parishes will be organised and churches
will be erected at tne three locautiee.

The fondness of a certain well-known
minister of Pittsburg for hair oil
caused him considerable embarrassment
reflsntlv. and threw a crowd of mourn
ers Into confuslon.'Vanity of vanities,"'
saltb the preacher, "all la vanity," but
the text did not-prevent-thla jmlrfr'ter
from slicking his hair lor tne funeral or
a German who had passed into tne
great beyond. ' v
Beating himself oemae tne casnw, ne
awaited the coming of the hour of serv
ice. Friend after friend of the family
paased on the other side of the coffin
looking at the deceased. Nothing es
pecial occurred until two elderly Ger
man women.- entered tne room ana
lowly made their way ' to the casket.
For a moment the foremost gased with
aorrow, but her sorrow turned to as
tonishment. She sniffed and gave vent
to aeveral expressions.
The minister awoke from the contem
plation of his text and realised to his
consternation that the frlenda in aorrow
failed to distinguish between the em
balmed corpse and the hair oil. ,y

. In admiration of bis bravery in risk
ing his life in an attempt to rescue two
men who were drowned near Long
frlenda of B. V, Morrow of thia city will
submit his name to the committee In
charge of the Carnegie hero fund, .: They
believe that hs will be awarded a medal
for. a daring example of bravery that
haa eacaped recognition of any kind.
. Morrow waa visiting at Long Beach
on the fatal Easter, morning when' nine
men' want out to aea In an Improvised
boat. They were unaccustomed, to the
breakers, and did not know tha dangers
of the surf, though they were warned
to return on the. third breaker with the
stern of their boat -towards tha ahore.
and with a drag in tow.
.Young Morrow la a member of. the
junior class in the medical department
of the. University of Oregon and la
expert awlmmer. He was at one time
an Instructor In swimming In this city,
tit met tne party or nine on the night
before 1 Easter and waa to have gone
with them -on the fishing expedition
but her overslept.
When the boat capslsed. Morrow, w!MI
crowds of others, gathered on the ahore
and saw the men. struggling In-the
water. Seven of them succeeded In
reaching .the ahore. Colonel De Long
and Charles Ray - were drowned and
their bodies ware recovered by Morrow.
, "We took a position: on .an elevation
near the ahore and by the aid of glasses
could see the men struggling . about a
mile and a quarter out. in the ocean,"
aald - Morrow. "Ray . was - an expert
awlmmer, but Colonel De Long waa

'A crowd of people Anally came to

bring in the men. I -went and aftai

discovered the body near the top of a

sight. ,-1 went through - the - huge
breaker and came up above the
man. -- In- - hla - hand he clutched the

"I succeeded ' In bringing the body
ashore, but he was dead when we got
there and I think he must have been
dead when I found him. A couple of
houra later we again caught sight of the
other body and I went out for it. I
found Ray about a mile and a quarter
from the ahore and also brought him In.
He waa not dead when we reached
shore and would not have died. I think,
but for the frantic efforts of several
women Wa - laid - Mra. on., the ground
and the captain of a life-saving crew
and othere began to worW to resuscitate
him. - I Injected a . number of druga
and we were aura that he waa reviving.
I was so cold that I bad to go to the
hotel, but urged them to keep. up their
efforts. Several women Insisted on re
moving him to a hotel, but I told them
that the only hope was to work as
rapidly aa possible right there on the
bank. - I had not gone far before I
turned around to look. I-eaw the crowd
carrying the man to the hotel and when
they reached there he waa dead.
The feat accomplished by Morrow is
said to have been one of the most .re
markable on record. Few men are able
to swim even a short distance when the
aurf la running and the breakers are
hlKh. Those who witnessed his feat de
clare that it waa one of the most baa-

So enthusiastic are his friends that
they have decided to submit his name to
