FOR GOOD LIFE The Finkertoa of Hi Day" Should, According toHia Training, Have Stood Next tochrlat an an Ex- - rmplarjr Character.' . ' - ' .- The White Tempi ,wn packed to the floors yesterday and people, turned away. William Edgar Gel!, the explorer of distant land. man of singularly mag netic personality, ao Orator who hold the breathless Interest of hi bearers. "and withal." a tSirUttair preacherr opened a aeries at special meetings, which ara o continue each day for two weeks. Mr. Oell gave a biography of Judaa Iacarlot rarOnriiuifiUiift acf vlL.apeakliig In part a a follows "The pdrentasre of Judaa Iacarlot, was of the best; His father and bl mother were of the children of God.' He was well born. ' As o tha date of his birth, we have to go In proportion, and figure 'that be Waa born about the--same time aa was Jesus Christ and both were born In tha hill country of Judea. There ia but one better nam In all sacred history than Judas, and that I Jesus. It Is a different -form of JUdah, a ad means 'Praise.' It was a nam most sacred to - Jew. There waa overy' reason . why Simon Iacarlot . should select for his -. promltlni lad. the nam . of Judas. Bo ' here- wa have It: Of (rood parents, born , t he best time In ths world's history, and named as well as be could be named. '.- Also wo find him with excellent brlng - lng up. tinder the careful Jewish train lng. Judaa Iacarlot was better brought up than a lot of your children, I suggest. ' Voder Oood Teaohar. "Then, again many people fall because of lack of backbone la their preachers. We cannot ssy this of Judas, howerer. Hi. wi under John the Baptist. John wag eccenrrlc'bnir then, ureatness 4 al--j -ways eccentric. I cannot tell how he was dressed In the skin "of ' the earner.-' but he waa elothed In camels hair, and that Is - good enough for anybody. As for food, he ate grasshoppers. Ton could . .. not cut his salary down. He stood out there and told the truth and did . not . have to take a collection. ., t "Then, we find him chosen one ofthe twelve. He was given power to perform miracles, and now we. find him again given orders to preach, to heal people, -lo. .drive put Jeprousy, and to raise the dead. However much It may go against your prejudices, these are the facta ac cording to the tincred Record. "'Judas Iacarlot was a great detective In the employ of the Pharisees, joining himself first to John the Baptist and . second to Jesus Christ for the specific purpose of discovering something wrong in Jesus. They gave him a little pre liminary coin, and he took them to where Jesus was. When Jesus called him 'com rade,' then this man delivered the most powerful defense of Jesus Chrlat that wss ever given. 1 Tin JTo Paal." The Plnkerton of his day, this man stands boldly forth, with his gains lying on the floor, and says, 'I have served you and sorved you too long, f go to die jn the valley of Otienna. but before rgo.TlcTryoiTTJinrT nnd'Tn this man no fault at all: I have watched him and believe - him to be : precisely what he claims.' ' i , . , r . "What did Judaa do when he com mitted suicide?. He jumped Into the past.. God save men who jump Into the past. I do not ask you to be afraid of the future, but I ask you to beware of the past. ... Judaa Jumped Into the past and what an awful paat It ws. I ask you plainly- and tenderly. If this man, with everything; conspiring to make him, Vxt to Jesus.. the noblest character the world ever produced, overleaped these circumstance -and finally Jumped Into " the past. It Is , well for " you and me, members of the church of Jesus Christ, to bestir ourselves, lest we also be driven not Into a glorious future, but back Into a dreadful and sinful past.

Because Water CompetU ; tion Is Removed. - LUMBER MATERIALLY AFFECTED BY NEW TARIFF Lonnsbury - Bays ,: Empy"Car; Ate , Going Sonth No lVonger and Com- pahy Cannot Handle Oregon Prod net Bo Cheaply In Consequence. . . Meteoric ascent of the freight rates by water lines between Portland . and San Franoisco In the last sis months Is now followed by corresponding Increases In rail rates between this city .and points south. The rate on lumber to San Fran cisco haa advanced from" J. 19 to ti per ton, 'and the rate on produce between Portland and-Medford has increased from 211 cents to 0 cents per hundred. , In explanation of the Increases H. E. Lounsbury, district freight agent of the Southern Pacific, said: , . ' some years ago, wnen tne steam i-rranar rairs ior fURlDer . DOlween rTri- land and 0an Francisco were $4.50 per 1.000, and mills at tidewater had a big advantage over valley mills,, we put In a low rate on the" Southern Pacific In order to permit them to compete wlt Portland and coast mills. , At that tlnyi the empty car movement was south ward, and we were able to make the low rate of 13.10 pW ton on lumber from valley points to 8an Frncisco. - , - . Wo ZmpUes Oolaf South. ' "Today conditions are quite different The coat mills are paying steam char- ter rates or i.tu to ii.t per tnou sand, and tha valley mills have an ad vantage over them with a rail rate of 13.10 per ton. , Besides, the empty ear movement .has changed from what It waa soma years ago. The empties are not moving south, and we have found that we are-obliged to haul empty cars from California to accommodate . the lumber . movement south. There is no profit In tha baul at I J. 10. we have raised the rate to a minimum of 15, which was -the old rate. It la still cheaper ' than carrying, lumber - by steamer. Referring to ths Increase of rates on vegetables between Portland, and Ash- land or Medford, he aald the old low rate of 21 cents per hundred had been put In some years ago to enable south' ern Oregon growers to compete with California growers,, who were shipping vegetables Into Portland at law steamer rates. . : ' Back to Old mates. ' Blnce the advance of steamer, rates this -California competition has disap peared, as tne old rstes was unprofit able he aald the railroad company had gone back to class rates, although the commodity,, rate still prevails between Ashland and Koseburc . It Is alleged by the railroads that the rates In effect In the Inst few years were not normal rates, but were forced upon the roads by water competition st very low rates between Portland and Ban Francisco. As the steamers hsve radically Increased their freight carrying charges, the rail roads claim the privilege of returning to their former rates. It Is another powerful Illustration of bow absolutely -ran carrying rates are dominated by water lines, and how Im portant It is for Oregon and the Inland empire to open the waterways and Im prove the harbora. ....

Object of Bill From Committee of the Chamber' of Commerce. . MORE COMPANIES COULD ENTER THE STATE Men Engaged In Insurance Bos In cat " Will Probably Slake Opposition to , Ita ProvisionsPlan Is to Adopt New York Standard. ' Two bills originating In the-Inauranoe committee of the Portland chamber of commerce, adopting the New York, uni form losurance policy and doing away with tha ' present requirements upon foreign Insurance companies to deposit I5.000 with the state treasurer before doing business In Oregon, are expected to draw out' a bitter tight en the part of the ' fire insurance companies now doing business In this state. It Is said they have- a monopoly and want to keep It. The bill has been - reported by the committee to the chamber trustees and indorsed by them, and Is now in ths hands of Senator Slg Slchel of the Multnomah delegation, and will soon be Introduced -by him. ' The Insurance contf mittee that drafted the bill Is com posed of Philip Beuhner, Edward Ames, Jay emlth. and J. C Flandera. It la modeled after' the "laws of, Massachu setts and New Tork, and the commit tee believes It has appropriated the most desirable features of ' those statutes. By enactment of tha bill Into a law. the committee expects to bring about a re duction of one fourth to one third In the present Insurance rates throughout the state. .- " . ffi :-,: ; . , mepeaJa Deposit taw. .

The proposed 'jaw',, provides that any- company showing by the re ports of the Inauranoe commissioner of New.

' The -pbjoot-ol this bill is to secure mora Insurance companler to do busi ness In the state 'of Oregon. It Is pointed out that while there ara about 100 fire insurance companies competing for business in Washington, Oregon has but' IQ companies, and these are com bined on rates and 'all conditions gov erning the Issuance of fire insurance pollolea. Five companies have with drawn from Oregon within the last year on acoount of what they term the op pressive and useless requirement of a state deposit. - ; ..,. . . : ... It Is said the object for which tbla deposit is required Is to provide. In case of failure of a company, that the In-t sured may recover tho unearned pro portion "of-nreTremtm:that this la a bagatelle to each individual; and that In event of ' a great conflagration In which companies might be driven to the wall the f S0.000on deposit ' would not amount to anything commensurate to the losses the company would be called upon to pay. ' . It Is alleged by the committee that, owing to, the small, number of com panies doing .business in Oregon since the San Franoisco disaster, and the re duced lines oenied by thee companies. It has beei impossible . for large in surers to seoure . adequate Insurance upon - their . property from companies doing business bare at the present time, and that most of our heavy manufac turers and merchants have been obliged to go out of the state for a large pro portion of their Insurance. ' . . The $60,000 deposit law la no pro tection against a conflagration. It la declared, as any large fire In a city would wipe out these deposits. ' New Tork requires no deposit, and the super vision of New Tork and Massachusetts over Are Insurance companies 4s thor ough and exhaustive. No wtld-eatttlng Is permitted, as the enormous property Interests covered by Are Insurance de mand the most rigid protection. -, -.
