New .York, Nov. 10. The Rev. Mary
Q. Baker Eddy, . Christian. Scientist, is
in for a good many attacks juat now
and mtre'are coming.' 'Ministers of va
rious Christian churob.ee are uniting for
an attack. They give as the reason tha
fact that the cult Is making serious
inroada upon membere of their organisa
tions. The forthcoming attack will be
dignified and perhaps unlike those of
periodicals, but it will concede more
things to Mra Eddy and her followere
than have previous critics. That' "dona.
It will proceed to handle the cult. It le
bold,- In- vigorous - fashion. . ;
The daily press has Just had alleged
revelations, and it I said a monthly
magazine la soon to appear , with an
investigation, wherein Chrlatian Science
is to be treated in , the manner that
Standard Oil and ths Steel Trust haa
been. Tf a tenth part of the chargea be
true, Christian Science, right or wrong,
la in for an ordeal during tha coming
six months - the Ilka of which has not
yet passed. i'
. Baals of Attack.
. Two things the orthodox ministers who
ara leaders In their respective bodies and
who are closest In touch with actual
worklnga of Christian Science, make no
Dretenae of denying. One of these things
la that Mrs. Eddy haa. or somebody has
in her name, denied certain things that
ara true. They say their churches have
for rotten that they have loet that which
Christian Science comes forward with
another claim aa its own.
Th power of . mind over- matter, the
fact . of belief upon conduct ana even
upon the body, theee ministers of the
churches have to oiler out nave torgoi
ten to offer them. Christian Science
comes forward and gets tha credit.
The othar fact which theee ministers
admit Is that leading men In the leading
churches are resigning their positions and
going Into Christian - Science churches.
This la going on to a remarkable extent
in New England and among Congrega
tional and Episcopal Protectant churchea
la town after town there can ba found
men who ara leading dtlsens and have
long held positions aa vestrymen getting
out and Quietly going ; Into Chtistlau

Time for Opposition.
' Tha time hss arrived, say orthodox
ministers, when Ohrletlan Science must
bo treated seriously. Its arguments
must ba met, ministers of tha bodies
named, together with aoma from
Methodist and Baptist" denominations
ars soon,o issue printed matter In form
a regular press bureau plan of argu
ment. Authore of this literature stoutly
deny eonaeotlon with, dally papere and
magaslnes. Too long,, they say. Chris
tian people have seemed indifferent to
this cult, which has meanwhile grown
steadily, taking to Itself some of the
beet blood of the churches.
AS outlined and now being put Into
pamphlet form, the manner of reply of
the orthodox ministry will ba to concede
much thet the Christian Science claims.
Soma think It will concede too muoh.
Tha claim will be made that all Chrla
tian Science offers ths church offsra
If eccepted the effect is going to be
to broaden Christian churches of the
common pattern; Indeed, Mra Eddy can
say. or It can ba said for her, that ehe

pressions on regular Christian faith and

The operation of the Celilo portage
road by the state authorities will be
continued. At a conference between tie
state portage board and members of tha
Open River association, held yesterday
afternoon at the office of tha associa
tion's attorney,-J." N. Teal, in this dty,
eondltlotis" attending the- operation of
the road were reviewed, and a clearer
understanding' was arrived at aa to the
policy to bo pursued.
. The portage road waa not oompleted
until June last year, too lata to arrange
for handling tbe season's business. Tba
road has not, until the present season,
had a chance to demonstrate Its utility
as a link In tha river transportation
chain between the inland empire and
coast markets. ' Last fall there were no
river accommodations for handling tha
traffic,. The operation of .the road haa
been a matter of growth and develop
ment of surrounding conditions directly
affecting It. Last year there were no
boats on the upper river. Nobody would
build boats until the road waa com
pleted and In operation. Then came tha
question of warehouaes and hauling tha
inland grain to the river bank. Not
until there were boats In operation
would men Invest money In construc
tion of warehouaes. And until there
were warehouses and assured steamboat
transportation - the farmers were not
willing to haul their products long dls
taacea to the river freight stations,
Big anstnaaa This Tea. .
last year the portage road carried
about 15.000 sacks of grain. Thla year
the season opened September IS, and It
was estimated the road would haul
about 10,000 sacks of grain. Already
48,000 aacka-of the crop of 190f hav
been transported over the portage, and
there ara 10,000 sacks to come yet. Tbe -road
will thla year largely exceed tha
estlmsted grain traffic
In addition, tha portage road will
handle four tlmee the other down-river
traffic taken last year. The up-river '
traffic Is also Increasing steadily, and
thus far this year it amounts to TOO
or 800 tons. Some of this tonnage goea
up the Columbia river aa far ae Priest
rapids, and far Into eastern Washington.
The main difficulty In operation of
the road haa come from congestion of
