TO OTHERS
Both Kev.'A. J.' Montgomery
. and Dr. Foulkes Asked
About Portland.

tha
Kev. A." J. Montgomery, who was
tfelefsta from' tha Portland presbytery
to tb general 'assembly at Kansas City,
returned Saturday evening- and resumed
charge of his pulpit at the Third Pres
byterian ehurfih. - A" number" of . Inter
esting impressions - were given by - him
as he talked over the convention.
"It was not," he said, "what could be
railed an epoch-making convention.
There were no great issues to come up
at this time, and the program was most
ly routine -business, so It did not in
terest the country - at large as much
ls some other conventions. But It was
a distinctly unanimous convention.
Whatever was done was done with - a
degree of unanimity. and harmony., a t

was appointed upon the new executive
commission which has been appointed
to take charge of matters during the
Interim from one assembly to the next
There are IS members, and -we looked
for a representative. ' However, the Pa

committee by Dr. John Willis Baer of

"It was trratlfytng to see how many
from the northwest attended the con
. ventlon, aome as delegates and some as
visitors. Dr. J, V, Mllllgan, a Port
land delegrata, gava a talk on Sunday
school work which was attentively
listened to. and Dr. W. & Holt, also of
Portland, though not a delegate, talked
on home missions.
Tremendous Kansas Bains,
"Personally I waa most interested In
the rains of Kansas. People In Oregon
have never seen rain; they don't know
what real rain is. . But there is that
city practically washed away and out
. off from communication with the rest
of the world, and still the people there
would say to us, "Out In Oregon yon
have rain IS months In the year.' But
. It Is gratifying to nota the -high regard
In which the east holds Portland. Port
land certainly Is on the map for them
'now, and everyone asks -, Interestedly
about It. . I noted the change alnce the
last time I. was east, when no one
knew of us. I think the Lewis and
Clark exposition was the greatest ad
vertisement tne norm west ever ma.
Dr. William Hiram Foulkes. pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, who
has just returned from a . trip east
which included many of: the principal
cities, saya that there Is a growing con
viction on the part of eastern peoplo
that the Pacific . coast . Is the coming
section of the country. , .
Wherever one goes,V said Dr.
Foulkes, "on Pullmans, In hotels. In
dining cars, one Is met with questions
about the coast and Portland. Every
one who has visited this city seems to
hold It in affectionate remembrance
and to speak of it in highest terms.
"I bring to the church people s greeti
ng from th former pastors. Dr. Hill
In Chicago and Dr. Brown In New Tork.
Both of them expressed their kindly
feeling toward the Portland peopla.
Tha onnlnna of the sreneral assembly
were of interest, but perhaps there is
nothing new of public Interest to telL
And there are some, points of Informa
tion for the building committee, which
sent roe east, but those things must be
given first to them."- -. -' -
NEW PERKINS: WAS NOT WHAT
. . OLD-TIMER EXPECTED TO. FIND
J:--.
The ew Perkins hotel, - which has
recently been remodeled,, is one of the
old landmarks of Portland. For many
years-people have been coming; to the
city .from all parts of tha northwest
and never thinking of staying; at any
pther house. -- -
r An-old man who hadn't been In Port
land for many years arrived last night
and as usual started for his accustomed
haunt In the city at the corner of Fifth
and Washington streets. - The man
boarded --a streetcar at the passenger
station and left it when the junction
at Washington and Fifth streets was
reached. -'.'. - .
S - The old; man ha was - evidently a
prosperous, farmer wandered into Fifth
street looking for the old familiar en
trance to the Perkins that he had
known so many years ago. Not 'seeing
the old signs the man retraced his
steps into Washington street. Still1 he
wasn't satisfied. He walked back and
forth outside the hotel, the Interior of
which has been rebuilt, and finally
came to the conclusion that he had got
Off the car at the wrong corner.
Eventually, as he' stood near the grill
room gaslng in a the base or eiectnc
lights and elegantly paneled walls and
weathered oak furniture, which,, gave
the place the appearance of an old Eng
lish dining-room, the , farmer decided
to ask someons wnere na couia ocw

YESTERDAY WAS DAY OF THE KIND
ONLY PORTLANDERS KNOW ABOUT
,'And what Is so rare as a day in
JuneT" sings the poet, and whenever a
writer wants to be particularly start
ling and original he quotes this line in
speaking of the. weather, and the sun
shine, and the flowers, and the birds
and the gay people and the general hi
larity and Joy.
But yesterday was a real one. No
sham June day -with an occasional bit
of sunshine iignung me pain, ana a
blossom peeping timidly out here and
there, and people in hybrid or mongrel
clothes, semi-summer and seml-wlnte-,
carrying the coats they had not the
courage of their convictions to leave
st borne. Nor a sham June day with
forerunners of August with the sun
biasing hot all day. the flowers droo
ping listlessly on their stems, and the
people lying panting under the warm
shade of a warmer tree, waiting for
the sun to go down.
No. this, waa a real, rare June day;
a beautiful, laiv June day. Everywhere
were roses; '"roses fragrant,, roses i
rare." The sun shone merrily all day
long, warming; one to a nice gentle
brown, not to a slxsllng heat An occa
sional fleecy cloud floated across the
sky. Just to remind one that the cur
tain could be drawn at any time th
sun became too obatreperous. People
warned aoout leisurely or lolled lazily
and happily beneath the trees, enjoy
ing the shade of a day just warm
enough to make the trees "comfy." Ot
course If people wore those mongrel
clothes they were a little uncomfort
able, but every wise one knew that it
was summer snd a rare day in June and
everyone wore his summer garb.
And thd people moved to and fro In
the parks, and wandered eagerly over
tne hlllsldea; or drifted lastly In row
ooats or canoes down the river; or
chugged energetically up the river in
a launch, or sailed coolly up and down
the river in the Ken tie breese. And one
and all said, "how beautiful are the
roses! What a shame we didn't have
tne rose snow this week!"
And everywhere waa satisfaction, for
mis was a rare aay in june.
