Oregon City, May 18.It has been nearly half a century since Dr. John McLoughUnrOne at Oregon's most noted men of his time,, passed away in this city. . Dr. McLoughlin, as he was known In the early days of Oregon City, -was man loved by all: a veritable father of his people: -a man who .was at alM times - striving' for . the betterment of the community.,- He was born at Riviere du Loud, .. Canada. In 1784, of Scotch- Irish parentage. He entered the serv ice of the old Northwest Fur company when , a, youth of 16.) ?IB 1824 he was sent by the Hudson Bay company - to Astoria and assumed absolute control of the -whole Columbia valley and the northern coast. Under his command were l,000f Canadians - and servants of the company and he was In absolute control and autocrat of 100,000 Indians. He gained control : of -the situation by his superior -manners and.. Intelligence and supremaoy of , will. i Hi. plans; were laid ana no one was allowed to question them. Dr.- McLoughlin-- was 1 known among bis people at. this time as ..king, and what' he said' was their law. .; Be was a man of stern manners, but of as rlrld rectitude, .and bis rule, was the ml. lit rtffht and lustlca. : Dutlnar his service; with the Hudson Bay company he' was oensu. sd 'for being too gener- ovm ar.d, when the time came, ror a set ttement he raa made to account for every cent which had bean' Intrusted . to his caret and In doing so he sustained a loss of something over $12,000.; i The last years, et his; life were- hal lowed by a r deep' religious experience. and through this he gained much -con rmm nr : - -j..

During this time Bis fortune, amounting to a eon' siderable sum. was lost and he' was made to suffer by many whom he had befriended. But be now occupies In his tory his true sphere and to hear his name Is to hear his praise. ' He goes down la the annals of history as the pride of his people, - - . Since his death his grave la the churchyard has been marked only by a plain slab, but the monument now to rise Is such as he himself might have wished should commemorate his name and fame. FATHER HILLEBRAND To Whose Energy sad Devotloa the 1- McLoughlin lastitiite Is Dae. . Father Hlllebrand, who has been the eblef promoter of the McLoughlin In stitute and under whoso guidance the project has reached realisation, has al ways been a diligent worker In every thing that would be for the welfare of the community, and It ts to him thst the people of Oregon City, turn with thanks for this new educational insti tute. Since his appointment; as pastor or Bt. John's parish in, Oregon City, Father Hlllebrand's influence has had Its effect upon the moral atmosphere of the whole locality. His service here negaa in isss.- .., ' - Basly XU s and Education. Father Hlllebrand was bora Jul 1 1861, at Brllon. Westphalia. Germany. Hs! was the youngest of seven children, four of whom are living, and Is the only one in America, his sarents were A. and Catherine (Weber) Hlllebrand, both natives or the ratherland, and there the mother's death occurred. Both parents were of good old German stock, the family line being traceable back Into the antiquity of the fatherland. The early days of Father Hlllebrand were spent on his father's farm, where nis rugged outdoor life well fitted him for the frontier American life that wss to bejils later in his career. After four years of elementary training he took a classical - course in the gymnasium, wnica fie completed after nine, rears' study. - The three years following were spent at- the University of Munser. ' "Xls Coining to Amerios, Later, in the University of Louvain. Belgium; he studied theology and phil osophy In the American college for two years. The services attending his or dination to the ministry were performed in the American college at Louvain and were presided over by Bishop Junger. who was bishop of Vancouver. In June. 1885, accompanied by Bishop Junger, he came to Oregon and was appointed to have charge of the missions in and around Canyon City, Grant county. - His services were 'not : limited , or bounded by geographical lines, however, and in the course of his ministration he travel ed through Crook, Lake. Harney Mai heur and ' Sherman counties, - and prac tically .the . whole of Eastern Oregon felt the -influence of his presence and teaching. To meet hls appointments at the various missions it was necessary to make the, circuit on horseback, carry ing -the equipment for the Journey In saddlebags at his horse's sides. '". After following this rural labor faith fully and ' well for three years, Father Hlllebrand was annotated to Jila oresent charge In Oregon City, where, as in his former charges, he is striving for the betterment of mankind; end his efforts have been most fruitful, -zr ?

New Tork, May 18. In order to call attention to the world's Sunday sahool convention, now In session in Aome, to morrow is to be observed by a large number, of the churches of the United States as "Sunday School Day." The plan whloh ts to be followed in most churches calls for a presentation from the pulpit of the outlook for the Sun day school movement, considering espec ially the organised efforts of which the world's convention Is one evidence, and the International ' convention, ' which meets next year at Louisville, another. Leaders In all religious bodies, Includ ing some which do not cooperate in the International system, are expressing their convictions that the. Sunday schools are the most promising fields for evangelisation and for building up the cnurcnes. ror this reason there has been of late an awakened Interest In Sunday sohool methods, and the schools have come to be recognised as an essen tial part of the churches Instead of ad Junots to them. HUGE POWER SCHEME IN EASTERN OREGON General Electric and Local Peo ple Investigating on , Upper Crahd Romde. ; It Is reported that Mr. DeVarney, manager of the independent telephone system at Corvallls, was offered 17,000 a year by tbe P. 8. company, but de clined, ' Hlllebrand evinces in his chosen work has been shown by his efforts In the construction of the splendid . new addi tion to the house of worship,. In remodeling tbe original structure. which cost nearly 830,000, the original plan was 'carefully preserved. The beams and cross-beams measure 18 and 18 Inches in , diameter. The bell and the material used in the .celling was im ported, being brought around the Horn. The congregation numbers about 500 communicants and not a little of tbe growth Is due to Father Hlllebrand's solicitous care and the wise oversight which he exercises over his parlshoners. Sohool and Mission Work, The interest which he feels in educa tional affairs has borne fruit in tha es tablishment of St John's parish school, of which he himself has charge, and St John's parochial and high school, which has an enrollment of over 150 pupils and la in charge of the Benedic tine Bisters of Mount Angel. .Another example of Father Hllle brand's devotion to his calling Is found in tbe establishment of Highland mis sion, about 18 miles east of Portland. In 1903 a new parsonage was construct-! ed which in all respects is In keeping with the handsome church building erected. Fraternally Father Hlllebrand Is a member of the Catholld Knights of America. Pleaaant and warm-hearted, possess ing a kindly and charitable disposition. all recognise In Father Hlllebrand a friend on whom they may depend In the hourof.iMad-,.He is loved by hla own people and the people or omer oenora mo tions as well, and throughout the com munity no one is more mgniy respectea than the pastor or Bt. jonns cnurcn. Oregon City. In his latest 'effort, the construction of McLoughlin Institute, he has been the same successful man as he has in all of his past efforts, and in a short time there will stand on that lot. which a few weeks ago was vacant a school of which the people of not only Oregon City but the whole state at large can feel proud.
