" es m'h, l is nearly rnished Senator Lane Caught in Act of Smoking Cigar in Seat of Tobacco's Deadly Enemy Oregon Solon Tells of Laughable Experience He Had With Sen ator Tillman Before South Carolinan Secured Passage of Resolution Prohibiting Them in the Senate. Senator Harry Lane loves ood black cigars just as much as Senator Een Tillman (Pitchfork Ben) of South Carolina hates them. Tobacco smoke is soothing to Senator Lane, while it makes Senator Tillman sick. When Lane first went to the na tional capital as a senator from Ore gon he was anxious, naturally enough. tQ make a good Impression on the lead- ers in the great legFslative body. Sen- ator Tillman is one Of the leaders, and Lane was particularly anxious to make a hit with him. Senator Tillman is in Portland vis iting his daughter. He was up to see Senator Lane, in the Abington build ing, Friday. Senator Lane threw away his cigar. After a while he probably wished he had it back again. Anyway, he was reminded of this story. "Before Senator Tillman got through a resolution prohibiting smoking, as soon as the senate would go into exe cutive session the members would pull out cigars and light up. I used to have the blackest and strongest one of them all. I like to smoke about all the time, and they cannot be too black for me. "On these occasions Senator Till man usually left the chamber. One Position of Singing Parson Is Sustained Kins of 12 Members of Official Chore li Board Sign Statement In Minister's Behalf. Rev. Frank W. (Sorman, "the sing ing parson," is indorsed in a statement to the public, signed by nine of the 12 members of the official board of Atkinson Memorial church. Not only that, but the statement is being generally signed by members of the congregation by an overwhelm ing majority, it is claimed by circulat ors of the statement, which was pre pared at a. meeting yesterday. The statement was called forth by criticism that had been given Mr. Gor man by three of the deacons of the church, for appearing as a singer at the Empress this week. "We wish to say that our pastor was correct in his statement that he had the sanction of his people in his present engagement," says the state ment, which continues: "It seems to us that only inspira tion can be found in the beautiful songs he is giving - the public this week, or in the motive of his engage ment. "It Is our pastor's vacation time, and he is in no way neglecting his Church. , "We have only praise for Him In his devotion to his mother and ihls con tinued effort to help his family. "We voice our love for him, and oirr continued faith in nis leadership. "He will be in" his pulpit f as usual on Sunday morning, and all friends and strangers are invited to worship with us." The three deacons Charles W. Stubbs, W- B. Bethune&nd Q. Holo well are criticised , In the statement for not voicina their disapproval at a meeting July 30,: when the matter of Mr. Gorman's theatrical engage ment was discussed, and the statement says that Its signers disapprove of the three deacons' "irregular and unan nounced meeting with. the pastor, and of their whole statement to the press.: - Flux making possible the effective soldering of aluminum end its al loys has been, - Invented in Germany. day,: after I had been trying to get into the good graces of the senator, ine senate went into executive ses sion. I pulled out a long black cigar and proceeded to enjoy myself. As the debate waxed warm I slipped over to another seat to be a little closer. "The- smoke was curling over my ntafl in great clouas wnen 1 relt a i hand on my shoulder. I looked up and there stood Senator Tlilman, who had been waiting for mo to . vacate his seft." At this point Senator Lane illustrat ed; the manner in which he said hs eliink back to his own seat. 'It was bad enough to be smoking at all," he continued, "but to be smoking In Senator Tillman's seat, that was the limit. "Well, I kept out of sight for a day or two and then I went and apol ogized." Senator Lane looked at Senator Till man and laughed heartily. "Isn't that so?" he asked, as he slapped the South Carolinan on the knee. Senator Tillman enjoyed the story .nd vouched for its truthfulness, only he said Senator Lane greatly exagger ated it.

Pedestrians Can Now Use Path Which Opens Up a Section of Scenic Beauty.

Beginning at Mult nomah Falls the trail winds up the cliff to the top' of the bluff and then skirts what is called the punch bowl. It discloses a number of waterfalls' and cascades along the upper reach of Multnomah creek and from peveral points a large portion of tne -Colum ma gorge is visible. it passes through virgin forest to the summit of Larch mountain, where a magnifi cent view of the country for many miles is to be had.

It has everything they have and more too." Commissioner 'Holman was In the first party that walked over the trail Thursday last. .Commissioner Holbrook, who also made the trip, thought it was great and compensated for sore muscles.
