Hughes, resident bishop of the Pacific northwest, at this morning's session of the Methodist arael confer ence. Bishop Hushes employed what Is known as the "bishop's hour" to Im press upon the district superintendents and others present the great need of the standing- for the Methodist pis- i copal church a a whole, instead of j trying to stand alone. I Dr. Clarence True Wilson, formerly of Portland, who is now stationed In, Washington, D. C, as secretary of temperance and morals for the general Methodist Episcopal church, and Di W. H.

He will talk on "The Modern Frontier" and a remark able address Is expected. The areal conference is in effect a school of methods, a meeting at which experts in church work impart to the clergy of a given area the results of their studies and experiments. It is like a meeting of the teachers uniii a superintendent. Coincidence Is Curious. Dr. T. li.

HUSHES Brilliant Men Who Succeeded Until Unfaithful Acts Had Brought Downfall Cited. Japanese Mother ' Kills Babes and Self Kan Francisco, Jan. 17. (TJ. P.) When the patter of little feet on the floor of an apartment on Hemlock Street had been strangely stJUed for two days, neighbors investigated early today. Dead In bed they found Mrs. Sankel Klkuchl, wife of a Japanese news paper man. and her four children, the oldes'. 6. The odor of escaping gas revealed that the little mother had tucked the children in their beds and then as phyxiated them and herself. Mrs. Klkuchi had been considered 'queer" for some time, and it la sup posed that the tragedy resulted from a sudden fit of Insanity. The necessity of loyalty, of the brand which, beginning with self, ex pands to Include the domestie circle, friends, community, state, nation and finally the worlcj, was pounded home by Edwin H. Hughes. Methodist Epis copal bishop of Boston, Mass.. speak ing before a large audience at First Method.st church last night. He de scribed it as the keystone of character, the thing which more than all others combined makes for real success in life. Great stress was laid upon domestic loyalty, instance after instance being cited of men, brilliant leaders in po litical affairs, whose descent to com parative oblivion followed closely upon discovery of domestic Infidelity. True loyalty he pictured as a pyramid with loyalty to oneself, in the deeper and more ' sacred sense, as the base, and loyalty to all mankind as the apex. "Qod Hates Short Cats." "God does not countenance short cuts." he declared. "The man who is not loyal and true in the narrower circle of home and friends would become a traitor, with sufficient inducement offered, if en trusted with large responsibilities." Born in West Virginia, Bishop Hughes declared that to him the Ohio river is more beautiful than the Co lumbia, the hills of his native state far superior to Mount Hood. Mount St. Helens or Mount Shasta. He had lived eight years in San Francisco and said that in a foot race between a San Franciscan and a Portlander he would boost for the California man and would detest a Portlander who-' would not encourage the other man. From this he progressed to the declaration that the Stars and Stripes is the most beautiful flag lri tha world. The speaker declared that he has no I patience with the; man who himself a citizen of the world and pro fesses no superior loyalty to any par ticular country. This kind of man he termed a shallow cosmopolite, reiter ating that the cosmopolitanism of feal value to the world begins with the hearthstone and radiates in an ever widening circle to lnclnde the entire earth. In this connection he recalled that the author of "My Country 'Tls of Thee." was also the author of the most inspiring missionary hymn known to Methodism, Bishop Hughes is In Portland as the guest of his brother. Bishop Matt S. Hughes, of this city, and while here is attending the three-day conference of the Portland area.

A new world's record in long-distance wireless communication was revealed today with the arrival ot the Oceanic liner Sonoma. Royden Thomberg and Clio Bowers, wireless operators on tlte vessel, picked up the call "O. U. I." two days out of Sydney. The call came from the sta tion at Eilvels, Germany, a distance of 11,500 miles. - They answered the Ger man operator and conversed with him nightly on several occasions. Efforts to communicate with him during the days were unsuccessful. The Sonoma also was la touch a times with the station at Tuckerton, N. J. Theatre Manager in City on Business C. S.

' , , Happy Hobo By Fred Lockley. Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 17. Withtn the last few months we saw on the front pages of the dally papers black- faced headlines telling of the car si ortage and the consequent loss to shippers. Here In America we kill off cur wild game, waste our forests and ! let shrewd and far-seeing exploiters gobble up our water power. When we have wasted our prodlsjel patrimony we will begin to realise the necessity of conserving our resources and utiliz ing our latent and as yet unvalued op portunities. The day Is coming when every city favorably located on a navi gable stream will ask no other ad vantage. How little Vancouver realizes the wonderful asset it possesses in Its In comparable location. Samuel Hill, the road builder, said to me not uong ago: borne years ago I stood on! the bank of the Rhine In Germany for an hour or more watching the river traffic. One barge followed another in rapid succession. One might almost as well wait on the river bank for the water to ' quit flowing by, as for ths stream of I river traffic to cease. Four fifths of Germany's Inland freight traffic is carried by water. Sato Zs XiOwer. On the Ohio and Mlsslsslool rivers the rate on the river barges on heavy freight Is less than S per cent of the rail rate on similar freight. In other words you can ship 20 tons by barge for what it will cost you to ship one ton by ralL Engineers tell us that a single horsepower will move two tons for a distance of three miles in an hour in a wagon, that the same borseDower will move 15 tons on a railway car, or 90 tons on board a boat. On the road way with your team and wagon it will cost you 10 cents per ton per mile nro- vming me roaoway is well constructed snd in good repair. It will cost slight ly more than 7 mills per ton per mile on the railroad, and less than a single mm per ton per mile on a Lake Superior barge. In other words for II you can haul a ton of freight 10 miles on the road. 127 miles on the railroad. lZbU miles on the Great Lakes and more than 2000 miles by river barges on tha Ohio or Missisaippl. Some day the railroads and the peo ple will realize that the good of all will be advanced by supplementing railroads with water lines for the transportation of heavy and bulky ireignt. o Car Shortage Than, When that day comes there will be no "car shortage." no "freight car famine," for the coal and hay. the wheat and lumber, ore and wool and other bulky cropa will bo travel ing, by Inland water transporta tion while the railroads are freed to transport fruit and vegetables and other perishable freight that requires Quick transit. Some years ago I beard an address by Judg.M, C. George that has dwelt in my memory ever since. He showed how the general flow of the Columbia is from east to west, paralleling the world s trade courses tn contrast to the Hudson and the Mississippi, which with their flow north and south travel across the natural trade lines of world commerce. Judge George showed charts of the rain and melting anow that helped to form the Columbia, showing that more water empties Into the Pacific from th Columlba river than is emptied into the Gulf of Mexico by tha Missis sippi river. Ha gave tha official figures that proved more water flows over Spokane Falls than passes Cin cinnati In tho Ohio river. He showed how tho Columbia river extends Inland and eastward one third of the distance to Chicago-and one quarter of the dis tance to New York city. Stop'for a moment and thiatc what this means to a city located as is Van couver. " It means that largely by water an area of 250.000 square miles embraced within tha Colombia river basin Is tributary to this city. It mean that Vancouver la located on tho cross lines of travel up and down tho coast. That ana has easy access to the Puget sound country by rail and by water via. the Columbia and the ocean, that she has easy access to the Willamette valley and California by I rau ana. mat aha has direct connec tion) by water with California coastal points such aa San Francisco. Lo Angeles and San Diego. It means that rail Unea following water -grades cornel down the Columbia river. Think of the logs ana rumr. the wheat and wool, j Tel the pewaSty. "His Master's Voice."
