CARDINAL GIBBONS' JUBILEE OBSERVED Largest and Most Impressive Gathering of Catholic Digni taries in Baltimore in Years. Washington. Feb. 20. (I. X. &) At the largest and m6et impressive gath erlng of Catholic church dignitaries since the Baltimore plenary conference of 1884. the pope's benediction was con ferred today on the venerable prince of the church. Cardinal Gibbon of Balti more. The occasion was the great cele bration in honor of the cardinal's golden jubilee and the benediction was bestowed by Monsignor Cerettl,v special papal envoy. Because of the limited space in the Franciscan monastery, where the cele bration was held, only churchmen, mem bers of the Catholic student body and invited guests were admitted, but there. were visiting clergy from England, Portugal, Alaska, Mexico and Canada, in their impressive robes, who filled the building to capacity. Among them were such American prelates as Car dinal O'Connell and many archbishops. Including the Very Rev. George W. Mundelein of Chicago, who preached the sermon which followed the mass which was celebrated at 10 o'clock. In his address Cardinal Gibbons paid tribute to Pope Benedict for his neu trality during the war. One Majestic Figure Towers "I thank God," said the cardinal, "that we are assembled today, when the war is over and the blessed sun of peace has dawned. During the tremendous conflict there was one majestic figure who towered above all others. I refer to Pope Benedict XV. The holy father was blamed by the central powers be cause he did not espouse their cause. But the pope could not be a partisan. However, he was not an indifferent spec tator to the horrors he witnessed. He frequently protested against the outrages perpetrated in France and Belgium. "The sovereign pontiff stands out to day the most exalted personage in Chris tendom. Kings will die, emperors will die, even popes will die, but the church goes on forever. The popes have seen the rise and development of all the gov ernments of Europe. It is not improb able they will witness the death of some of them and chant their requiem. They have seen kingdoms changed to repub lics. They have looked on while the Goths, the Vandals, the Visigoths, in vaded the fairest portions of Europe, up setting thrones.-- They have seen all this ; but the constitution of the church of which they are the guardians re mains unchanged." Gibbons' Efforts Pmrsed He brought out the fact t'.iat he is the only survivor of the thousand bishops who attended the Vatican coun cil, and the only survivor of 80 who at tended the 1884 council. Praise ot the untiring labors of Cardi nal Gibbons in the interest of the Catho lic church was voiced by Cardinal O'Connell. "You are not merely the type of a great churchman, you are the exempli fication of a great epoch," said Cardinal O'Connell. "Better than any man living today, your emineno-3 unJerstands the full meanuig of the unimaginable transi tion between the infant church of Mary land and the giant church of America. "From the beginning Baltimore ias ever been a sacred center, but you have conferred upon this see something of even greater value than mere . historic priority. Both as delegate apostolic and then as cardinal, your occupancy has bestowed upon it a lustre ' unique in all America. c '"In every great city of the country there are schools of recent erection which vauntingly guarantee to teach in fallibly the quickest way to success. There is a pathos beneath their purpose which no words can express. Fidelity Secret of Success "If true success could be reduced to mere formula, no one could be found capable of failure. If all men who are called successful had really achieved success, the science of those schools would be very simple' and easy. The simple truth is that not jne sifccessful man out of a thousand can tell him self how and why he succeeded, except in the broadest possible terms of fidel ity to a - task and a determination to see it through. "It Is because men will persist 'n look ing only at the surface of the lives of others that they are constantly misplac ing the emphasis, wit'a the result that they accentuate what is really accidental and pass over the real, underlying, sub stantial causes." In his sermon Archbishop Mundelein recalled the fact that there was a meet ing of archbishops in Washington at the time the United States declared war on Germany. 'It was Cardinal Gibbons who immedi ately made the suggestion." he said "that we at once assure President Wil son of the unswerving loyalty of the church." He paid high tribute to the cardinal. and said no man had ever exerted greater influence for good on mankind than he in the past 50 years. "Always he has been on, the side of the poor, on the side of labor," he said, "and always his influence has been immense." Shingle Mill Again In Operation With Many Bolts Ahead Castlerock. Wash., Feb. 20. The Pea body shingle mill started up Wednes day with enough bolts in the river to run until June.

Expenditures aggregating almost $1,350,000 are outlined in the annual re port of the commission of public docks, which was approved at the meeting of the members of the cnmission last week and filed with Mayor Baker Tuesday. This report covers the con struction period from December 1, 1917, to November 30, 1918, and includes the disbursements for work and material in the development of St. Johns municipal terminal. A comprehensive resume of the work accomplished during the period covered in this report "has been filed along wih the outline of receipts and expenditures.

Not Nearly So Much as Malay Peninsula Boasts Portland's possibility as a health re sort during the winter months springs into prominence when its much-talked-of rainfall is compared with the rain fall of other countries. Dr. G. Car veth Wells, celebrated British explorer of the Malay peninsula, who is lecturing in Portland at the Strand this"week, came here to get out of the rain. "I was advised to spend the winter here," said Dr. Wells, "in order to get away from the damp climate of the peninsula. I understand that people here consider Portland quite a rainy spot. Whereas it rains here an average" of 40 inches a year, on the Malay penin sula the rainfall averages 250 inches per year. I came here on November 1 last year, and since that time I have gained 40 pounds." Dr. Wells was the principal speaker at the Progressive Business Men's club this noon, telling of the nature studies on the Malay peninsula. Next Wednesday noon he will speak at the' Elks' club luncheon and on Saturday evening, March 1, he will give a lecture at the Central library, to which the public is invited. .

COMMISSION mm SHOWS EXPENDITURE JAPAN HOI AFTER STEAMSHIP TRADE Supremacy in Pacffic Takes An other Step With Organization of 20,000,000 Yen Concern. Tokio, Feb. 6. By Mail.) (U- P.) Japan's plans to compete for transpa cific freight carrying supremacy were advanced greatly today in the announce ment of perfected details for a company which will be Japan's biggest freight steamship concern. T. Ishida, managing director of the .Ocean Transport company, will probably be named managing director and auditor of the new corporation, which will be called the Taiyo Kaisen Kaisha of the Ocean Steamship company and will deal exclusively with freight. The new firm, which will have its head Office a Kobe, will have a capital of 20,000.000 yen It has the backing of the -Katsuda Steamship company and the Ocean Transport company, both large concerns with head offices in Kobe. It will put eight freighters in the trans pacific trade, six of 10,000 deadweight tons each and two of 5000 each.. This fleet, which will aggregate some 70,000 tons, will be completed for the most part this year at a cost of something like 42,000,000 yen. ( "The indication," said Ishida today, "points to the keenest rivalry ever waged between steamship companies and we must be in a position to com pete on an equal footing with any of the other competitors in the trans pacific business. We are not unaware of the number of steamships in Eng land, America and other nations that are gradually resuming their former oriental service. aN'evertheless. it is our belief that shipping on the Pacific as well as on the Atlantic, will be as pros perous in the future as it was before the war and probably more so. "Looking forward, therefore, t believe in the future of transpacific trade. First of all we must not overlook the growth of those various enterprises which sprang up in different parts of the Pa cific coast of America in recent years, especially since the war. They are now importing a great amount of raw ma terials from China and India," he said, and he added he was glad of it. During the war rates went as high as $40 and $50 a ton. "But with normal conditions, many proposed freighters will fade away," he said, "just as they did after the gold rush."
