tjfe COATS TO BE WORN
Noted Personages Registered at Portland Hotel Yester
dayFormer Came From Alaska and Lays No Claim
to Statesmanship' Except in Distinguished Name.
An ordinary day's registration it any
of ths big hotels tn a city contains not
nly representation of romance, great
business transactipns, tragedy and
pathos, but name of different kinds
that when gone over carefully are
sometimes amusing. Every time one
with a plain name looks at a hotel reg
ister It occurs to him that he would
have his name changed by law sure If
It were anything like a great many of
tbem.
Yesterday there was quits a con
glumeratlon of names at the Hotel
Portland but they were only a little
out of the ordinary. It was simply a
sample or a day's signatures of which
there are thousands every month In tho
year.
For instance, there was Daniel Web
ster at the Hotel Portland yesterday,
lie In from Alaska and not from Mass
achusetts. Treadwell Is the nam of
his home town.
"Daniel Webster" looms up on the
old register In a broad, bold hand, aug-
reniiva ui iiaiMinininip ana greatness.
xnen, omy a lew incne
common, but still rather
way. Is the
eupnonious
when you oome to think of it title of
f0a
John smith. Just plain John Smith.
That's all. But there Is such a con
trast. Daniel Webster and then Just
plain John Hmlth. And. of course, only
make matters worse, for really It
wasn t done intentionally, Is the name
Jnhnes. But not John or Charles or
Thomas, but Orlando Johnes. And be
sure and spell It with the "e."
Hun your fingers down the big flat
ledger a little farther and see what it
stnps on. There it Is, Just what you
were looking for something unusual.
It Is not carefully or neatly written
But it's there and It's the only name
tns man nas.
"Baron Aug Knab, Cincinnati," you
read, sort' of puzsllng over the writing
ana lr u wasn't ror tns saia uincin
natl you would begin to wonder who
the great man was who had signed his
name oniv a lHtlo while before.
"Baron Aug Knab," you say. "That
sounds good. That's some class, sure."
The more you think about It the hotter
the "baron" sounds. It Is more than
euphonious.
Then your heart sort of flutters and
sinks you learn that the baron Is In
reality a traveling man -from the Ohio
city. Baron is simply his first name.
Near the bottom of the page is an
other suggestive of foreign lands. It is
"Chow Tong," of Vancouver. But Chow
Tong isn't an attache of the Chinese'
government or anything of the sort.
He's a Chinaman, however, but here on
his own hook and disposing of mate
rials. In other words, he Is a Chinese
traveling man.
Turn a leaf back. If you will, or just
bend the top corner.
"Where In the Bam Hill have I seen
that name before?'' you think, sort of
remlnlscently. 8am Hill, of Seattle, is
one of the guests. Perhaps you never
saw the man with the name or even
his name before, but you, of course,
have heard Sam Hill need so often In
slang that you are apt to almost Imag
ine that you know the real Sam Hill In
timately.

PROHIBITION PARTY

Effective Work Done by the Anti-Saloon League on
Non-Political Lines No Synod Missionary Chosen
That ths .Prohibition party Is an im

did opinion of Rev. J. K. Wilson. D. D.,
president of the Oregon Anti-saloon
league and principal of Portland aca
demy, before the Presbyterian synod
yesterday afternoon. The address was
remarkable for the frank manner In
which the subject was handled, Dr. Wil
son speaking every moment straight out
from the shoulder, but never once men
tioning the Prohibition party by name.
"No one has greater admiration than
I," said Dr. Wilson, "for the courage
and heroic determination of he who goes
to the colls year after .year and regis-.

"The Anti-saloon league Is only what
the name implies, but on the other hand
it is all that the name implies. It is

that never could be lined up In faor

to desert their party. We only have
to point to the work accomplished in
the comparatively short time the Antl
salnon league has been In existence to
grove tho practicable results that have

markable and I think I am safe In say
ing that It could not have been ac
complished if we hnd been forced to
fight the other two great parties to ac
complish these results.
Changs Accomplished la Oregon.
"Those of you who have closely
watched the progress of affairs In
Oregon know that a great chnnge has
come over the liquor situation in this
state. The- attitude of open defiance
on the part of j,the liquor organs has
been changed to one of caution and ad
monition to the trade we might say
absolute fear, m This has all been
brought about since the adoption of the
local option law made possible by the
Anti-saloon league."
Dr. Wilson went on to say that In
the paper published In this city in the
Interests of tho liquor business could

strictly so as to protect him from any
further restrictions. For Instance a re

Is tainted money" and should never be

The speaker said many such examples
of retard for law that never before
were evident In this city could be cited.
Oregon Dry in Five Tears.
The report of the committee on tem
perance made by Rev. W. S. Gilbert,

prehensive and complete report submit

Increase of dry states, counties and
towns over the previous year and viv
idly portrayed the work as it was pro

Gilbert predicted In ths course of his
report that within five years Oregon
would be wholly dry and that during
the coming winter Washington, D. C,
would become a dry government.
The synod of Oregon completed its
sessions at the Third 1'rtHhyterlnn
church, Kast Thirteenth and East Pine
streets, last evening at 8 o'clock.
The meeting has been considered the
most profitable ever held. It finds the
two divisions of the church firmly
united and working harmoniously to

amount of funds with which to accom

Two Tugs Dispatched to Sea
With Oil for Distressed
- Steamer Mariposa.
(Beirst News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Ban Francisco, Oct. It. Immediately
upon receipt of the telegram from Chief
Officer Watson of the steamer Mari
posa, that the ship was lying II miles
directly west of Monterey, having run
out of fuel oil, the Oceanic company's
officials directed Superintendent Pryor
of the Bpreokels Tug Boat company to
dispatch ths tugs Dauntless and Relief
with a supply of fuel oil for the Mari
posa. ,
Ths boats went to sea early In ths
forenoon and were expected to find the
helpless steamer some time tonight or
early in the morning. It is not likely
that the'Marlposa wUl require anything
but a supply of oil, and when this shall
have been taken aboard the steamer,
according-to the officials of the com
pany, may be expected to arrive here
late tomorrow.
The MarlDOsa was traveling at a
food snaed far off the coast of Califor
nia when Engineer Urundell discovered
that th oil tangs wers empty. ine
Mariposa Is ' wholly dependent on oil
for fuel. They resortwd to a big ship
ment of copra, dried cocoanut and sev
eral tans of this material was burned
in the furnaces but with little satis-1
faction. Captain Traak soon ooncluded
that the steamer would be unable to
make port without assistance.
Chief Officer W. D. Watson volun
teered to put out in a small boat for
thii land. The Mariposa was then 81
miles from Monterey, and Captain Trask
had nc other alternative than to Bend
Watson and a boat's crew to the coast.
The steamer at this time was rolling
lazily In the swells. There was no en
thusiasm aboard, for the helplessness of
the situation appealed to all. Provisions
and a compass were placed In the boat
and Chief Officer Watson and four of
the sailors started in the direction of
the coast
A cheer was their farewell as the men
set up a sail and stood off at 11
o'clock Friday morning. The sea was
smooth at the time and the light breeze
carried the boat forward at a good
speed. It was late in the afternoon
when the hull of the Mariposa was
lost sight of. After an uneventful trip
the small boat reached the town of
Monterey early this morning, after hav-

A resolution was presented to the as
sembly by Kev. K. Nelson Allen approv
ing the report of Kev. John M. Fergu
son as relating to conditions in some of
the hopyards of the state. The resolu
tions stated that the conditions as plo
tured by Rev. Mr. Ferguson were start
ling and alarming and that every aid
oosslble should be extended to those
doing, the work In the hopyards.
Bishop Tho burn Speaks.
Bishop James M. Thoburn was In
vited to a position of honor on the plat
form beside Nioderator Gilbert, and ex
tended greetings to the synod. He spoke
a few words commending the work be
ing done by the Presbyterian missiona
ries In India, characterizing their ef
forts as the "most benevolent under the
shining sun." Miss J. E. Honeyman,
state secretary of the Y. W. C. A., was
also invited to speak and told of the
ambitions of her organization.
Permanent committees for the ensu
ing year were appointed and an Im
mense amount of routine work conclud
ed before adjournment. Dr. Gilbert
proved a competent moderator and
managed the sessions admirably. Never
was the synod behind the order of the
day although hard pressed for time
throughput the entire session.
Censure on Portlanders.
Reports of the committees on mis
sions for freedom and of the commit
tee on Sabbath observance were re
ceived yesterday afternoon. The latter
included a censure upon the Portland
presbytery for failure to comply with
the rules of the synod regarding the
submission of presbytery reports.
Chairman Robinson contended that his
courteous letter asking for the report
was not even answered and refused to
serve longer as committeeman on the
Sabbath observance committee.
Jj&st night a popular meeting was
held In the Third church In behalf of
