J. H. FlBk," who recently died In ft
hospital In Naples, might -by his co
religionist be considered v a martyr to
his cause. It was formerly Mr. Flak'a
boaat that ba waa a Slavs to no re
ligion,' and ha professed disbelief In
Christianity openly.
; About a year ago ho became Inter'
aated In a new "thougbt" presented by
a. Persian leader, and ao fully; did It
enlist bla sympathies and ao .determined
was ha to learn the truth that be started
n a pilgrimage . to Syria, where tba
leader, Abdul-Baha Abbas, la In exile.
There, after months ox association with
the great teacher, he waa taken ill In
a-little hospital and waa ministered to
every day by the teacher. As ha re
gained part of his strength he staneu
home, and In Naples had a, .relapse and
died there In a hospital. . ,
Teachings Interesting.
The teachings of Abdul-Baha are In
teresting. ao It Is said. In that they do
not conflict with any -. the , religion
A year or more a so a man by the name
f Fltsgerald came to Portland and ex
nlatn&d th. teachinra of the Persian
master. Ha gathered a company of
some 14 believers, who meet every Fri
day evening at tti Yamhill street
Fitzgerald claims for Abdul-Baha that
he la the second appearance of the Mes
siah, and the Persian la greeted by the
Tiames bestowed on the Christ of the
Bible,
The epitome of Ms teachings ta divine
nlty between God and man. which
manifests itself in the brotherhood of
mankind. This Is being; brought about,
he teaches, not by attacking thedlf
ferent religious systems, but ' by con
firming them and showing that' this
new revelation is but another outpour
ing of the divine truth which in differ
ent epochs has appeared In Different
forms of belief. lieaven and hell, he
bellevea. are conditions of the soul.
In Hi there appeared a teacher In
Persia calling himself "Bab," meaning
door or a-ate, who proclaimed himself
the Fi forerunner of another. After six
years he was martyred by the Moham
medans for heresy. Shortly after Baha
Ullah appeared as the one whose oom
lnr he had foretold, lie waa exiled to
Turkey, and later to Acre, in Syria.
He diod there In M9S and declared that
his mantle nhould fall on his eon. Abbas
Effendl, who has since ben known as
Abdul-Baha Abbas, or Abbas, the serv
ant of God. ' ','" - r
There waa nothing of the lowly about
his coming, for he lives in wealth and
luxury, and from all over the-world re
ceives emissaries from the ."assemblies"
who follow, his teachings and shower
him with caatly" gifts.
Took Many Gifts Aloatr. , ,
Mr. Fisk carried from the Portland
assembly many gifts and - letters of
greeting, and one gift from his ltttie
granddaughter waa sent to the children
of Abdul-Baha'a household and brought
forth a beautiful letter from the "mas
ter" to the child. - v
The believers hold that Baha Ullah,
from whom the - believers take their
name, Janata, la the central point about
which the movement centers Itself, even
though the revelation has coma through
three teachers. The same spirit of di
vinity is supposed to fire them
A point of interest Is that the Miller
itea, a well-known sect in New iork
years ago, set the date-of the second
appearanoe of the Messiah on the same
day which later turned out to herald
the birth of the Persian teacher. The
Bahals claim therefore that the Mlller
ttea started with divine Inspiration, but
were sidetracked in the wrong direc
tion, v - - .?. . ' ,'. .v
FAMOUS HOOD RIVER ORCHARDS'
SCORE ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY
r ; Oregon apples, the product; of the
famous Hood River . orchards, have
. scored another victory and at tba same
time added to the generous advertising
which the frult'has given to the state.
From faraway Kngland a few days
ago came a request for trees, ouch as
have given the Hood River district In
ternational feme. . The request followed
the eating of some of the delicious fruit
Which had been shipped all , the way
across the Atlantio to meet the fastidi
ous appetites of British subjects.
v A number of weeks ago Frederick Eg
gert, of the shoe firm of Eggert-Young
and company and owner -of the Egger
mont orchard at Hood. River, shipped a
consignment of flpltsenberg"" and
Jonathan apples to England. -Between
; the layers of fruit ware mat sheets
with the nrm's name . stamped upon
thra. ' . . ".
Boon after the big, red apples reached
their destination Mr. Eggert received
a letter from a me In England. The
letter asked . that soma small apple
trees be sent him that would raise the
same kind of delicious fruit, expressing
the fear, however, that the trees might
not do as well on the British Isle.
- The ltttie . trees were shipped and
last week word came back that the
trees were flourishing and that within
a few years the new owner expected to
raise Hood River fruit In England.
Another letter was' received by Mr.
Eggert from a young lady in Edln
borough, Scotland, at about -the same
time. She wrote that any country
whloh could produce stsnh' excellent fruit
as she had Just eaten must necessarily
be a fine place In which to live and sha
asked If there were means of liveli
hood for her In the famous apple coun
try. This letter waa also answered In
an encouraging manner, and It la not
Improbable that within a ahort time.
Hood River wilt add one mora to Ha
rapidly growing population as a result
of this shipment of its estimable pro

' Pendleton. Or., June t9. Wood deal'-
ers In ' the Blue Mountain district are
t'not fearing a wood famine this fall.
They gave as their reason the fact that
v 1 nearly everyone Is fearing a shortage of
fuel, and many are laying In supplies
of wood and eoal this summer. About
' four or five carloads are being shipped
from Meacham and Kamela, at the sum
mit of the mountains, dally and . much

The dealers claim it la impossible to
secure coal ' at this time. While the
railroads are offering special rates for
shipments and are urging; dealers to
stock up, the offer Is worthless for
the reason that the coal, mines will not
