"Connectlonallsm," that unity of
purpose which demands-that Its minis
ters work for the church as a whole
rather than for Individual units, formed
the. theme of an address by Bishop
Matthew 8. 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. Howells of Buffalo, N. Y.. sei
rttary of the church's deaconess
board, were the other speakers of the
forenoon.

close tomorrow afternoon with"- a re

Lunch is being served each noon and

The principal speaker at tonight's
session will be Dr. J. K. Crowder of
Seattle, who made the great talk of
the laymen's misslonery conference
held here last year. 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. Ford, district superin

charge of arranging the program for
this area, consisting of Oregon, Wash

LOYALTY IS BASIS OF
CHARACTER
DECURES
BISHOP E. H. 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.

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
