0RE60I1 CITY HOME OF DEACON HATCH
The Dedication of the New Building of the First Congre
gational Church of Oregon City Brings Up a Train of
, Memories That Will Interest All the Old Timers of
Salem Influences That Reach Far
The , First Congregational
church of Oregon City on Sunday.
February 1st. dedicated one of the
finest church buildings in Oregon.
One of the . subscriptions that
helped to make this fine church
possible was a gift of $200 from
the Baptist church of Oregon
City: ; -y-y - : ' - :
; This subscription was encour
aged by the fact that a good many
years ago, in the home of P- II.
Hatch, both the Congregational
church and the Baptist church of
Oregon City were founded. For
some time both of these churches
used the Hatch home as a meet
ing place. The gift of the Bap
tise church to the Congregation
al church was made as a sort of
commemoration of the beloved
and I mutual friendship of "both
churches. -r r" r " "
? Was Old-Time Seaman - '
Mr. P. H. Hatch was typical of
the pioneer of olden days, with
perhaps the exception that Deacon
Hatch, as he was known to his
friends, walked very closely to his
Master nd spent much time about
fthe Lord's business. He was born
in Maine in 1810, and took to the
sea as a child. Not much': Is
known of his early boyhood, other
than that his mother died while
he was still young, and probably
the youth had a hard time of it
the f irst , few years of his life.
While he was still a young man,
he signed out on a whaler, and
spent the next few years of his
life at sea. While he was still
on the whaler, he stopped , at
Honolulu, and there met the girl
that became his wife.
. Marries In Honolulu
.Before his time had expired on
the whaling vessel, Mr. - s Hatch
married, and ' settled down i with
his wife In Honolulu. Two chil
dren were born to the couple
while they were in. Honolulu. Mr.
Hatch, was a loyal American citi
zen, and when England hoisted
her flag over the Islands he pack
ed' his belongings and sailed tor
this coutry.. He came to Oregon
City in 1843. ' -. ' ;
I Runs First 8team-boat V -:
": Deacon Hatch stood v at the
wheel f the first steam-boat that
sailed up the Willamette river to
Oregon City. After his arrival in
Oregon City, he followed various
occupations,. Including that of a
boatman and miner. He ran the
first- flat boat between Portland
ad Oregon City. - When he came
from Honolulu, he brought with
him two Kanakas, and these two
men helped him on the flat "boat.
When they came to the rapids at
Oregon City, a pulley and ropes
were used to pull the boat up over
the rapids. " -. . .
.Makes Sloney as s 3Iiner : -
Mr. Hatch was very successful
as a miner, and made considera
ble money at the work. He used
what was needed to- pay-off his
debts, and then gave the rest of
it to the church. Deacon Hatch
felt that it was wrong for a man
to have more of anything that he
needed to comfortably "maintain
himself and his family. At dif
ferent times he owned considera
ble property in Oregon City that
Is now quite valuable, but many
years ago he gave it away , .
Temperance Worker
; Deacon Hatch's greatest work
was that of temperance leader.
He conducted two organizations In
Oregon City,' one for adults and
one for , boys. The members of
both of these organizations, at the
time of their admission to mem
bership, swore never to use intoxi
cating liquor in "any form. After
Deacon Hatch moved to Salem he
organized a temperance union
here." ' Traders were at this time
selling many gallons of intoxicat
ing . liquors to the Indians, and
Mr. Hatch spet a lot of his. time
I trylg to teach the Indians not
to use" it; ' ' " . , "
Respected By the Indians 6
; Every one who came, in contact
with the Deacon was! immediately
Impressed 'with" the fine character
and -personality of the man. The
Indians loved, him dearly, and he
was known 'to them las the Great:
Chief. They" respected Mr. Hatch's
courage very -much, and always !
treated Uhe Great Chiefs family
with kindness when. he was away
at" bis work. The' Indians knew
that -they would be "treated with
absolute, kindness' at the hands of
Mr. Hatch, and they came to him
with all of their troubles.' I
' Comes " to Salem to Live
- Just after the " big flood ; of,
1862, Mr. Hatch moved to Salem
with his family. His first wife
IG1ZE0IFI
had died in Oregon City, and he
had married again. He bad two
children by the first wife and 10
by the second. ' For the first six
or seven years after his arrival In
Salem, he served as state librar
ian. After the expiration of his
last year at this work, he went
Into the business of moving hous
es," which he followed until his
death in 1899. y '
Did Not Desire Honor '
Mr. Hatch's life was spent in
doing little things and big things
for others. And yet he never ask
ed for credit for any of his work.
He seemed to realize that his life
in this world was Supposed to be
filled with just such services, and
that his reward would come in
heaven. He asked especially that
he be given a modest tombstone,
and his request has been granted.
The memory of such a man lingers
long In the hearts of all whom he
has touched, and there are many
who need no reminder to keep
fresh in their memory the noble
ness of such a character.
A Wonderful Woman
. All old residents of Salem re
member with feelings of affection
and respect Grandmother Hatch
Sarah Lacey; Hatch, the mother
of the ten children. She came of
a family of literary people. Her
ancestors, the Laceys were the
first settlers of Oyster Bay, New
York. - - -," ,
: For some reason, Deacon Hatch
left the Congregational church
and became a member of the
Methodist ; church, ; while - Mrs.
Hatch remained loyal to and a
great worker in the First Cpngre
gat'ooal, church of Salem. This
relationship, went on for years,
without any family Jar whatever
And there was never a better
Congregationalist than Mrs. Hatch
nor a better Methodist than Dea
con; Hatch. j No one' who knew
j them ever questioned the Chris
tianity i of either. Few people
living- in the Salem of the old
days I were 1 not In some way
brought under the influence of
Grandmother' Hatch, who was a
wonderful Christian character, j
. ! Son Attended Dedication
Hori. E T. Hatch, now of Van
eouver. Wash., represented the
Hatch family at the dedication
of - hte church. Another son,
Capt. H. U Hatch of San Fran
cisco, was invited, also a daughter,
Mrs. Abbie H. ' Farrar" of Salem.
John Farrar, Salem's postmaster.

vented from attending by the
stormy weather. George Hatch,
one of the two first carriers for
the Salem postoffic, some years
deceased, was a son. Mrs. I. A.
Manning .was Ta daughter. Mr.
Manning -was a well known news
paper ma of Salem in the old days
and consul to Nicaragua and Co
lumbia, and now a prominent cit
izen of the latter coutry.
Robert Rohweder, civil engineer
for the Southern : Pacific is. a
great grandson of the .Hatches.
; .Hon. Ed. T. Hatch, who repre
sented the Hatch family at the
dedication, moved from Salem to
Polk xounty and represented that
hcounty in . the Oregon legislature
and was prominent in other ways
in the affairs of that county.
Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor of
the First Congregational , church
of Salem, represented that organ
ization at the dedication, and de
livered the principal address.
The dedication of the Oregon
City Congregational church was
on the second anniversary of the
destruction by , fire ; of the old
church. . ' " -,
I Safeguarding Human Life!
i i i w '
; The ! successful" farmer has
learned that diseased seed . grain
will infect, and, destroy his crop
and he regularly treats this seed
to eliminate the disease produc
ing orgmisra. The horticulturist
knows that he must spray his fruit
tree , If ; he-;, wishes - to produce
marketable and. profitable . fruit.
The stock raiser knows that con
tagious , disease of his animals
spells ruin, and spends vast sums
of money for the eradication of
contagions diseases. ;
- The earth's most valuable aset
is. the human being and. measures
for the conservation of human life
should receive the most intelli
gent consideration.., ,Human , con
tagious diseases are controlled by
immunization, isolation and guar
antee. The problem of control
ling- human Infection is greater
than any other because many ap
parently healthy persons are car
riers of disease producing germs.
How are we going to tell whether
a person is a danger or not?
We must look to the laboratory
for the solution of this, problem.
The throat and nose must be cul
tured to Bee wether the virulent
germ of diphtheria is present or
not. - The excretions of the patient
recovering' from, typhoid fever
must be examined to determine
whether typhoid fever germs are
still being excreted. The. sputum
must be examined to determine
whether a case of tuberculosis is
openly contagious or not. ' The
syphilitic must have" his- bleed ex
amined to see if he is stilt "infec
tive. Upon this test' we must
base the restrictions that are to
prevent his transmitting this dis
ease to innocent women and child
ren.; Laboratory tests are neces
sary, to determine what persons
are infective and dangerous to the
community. These tests form the
basis for public protection and
are the means of preventing un
necessary sickness and deth.
- For the past two . years the per
capita tax for the support of the
laboratory, of the state board of
health has been a half of one cent.
Is there anyone , who. begrudges
this trifle that it costs him to
support the laboratory which is
trying to protect him and his fam
ily from contagious diseases? Are
we willing to spend hundreds of
our bees, our chickens, our pigs
our trees, and even our dogs, and
neglect the most valuable, thing
on earth, human life? Civiliza
tion answers this question in the
negative and every state in the
union now has a public health
laboratory to assist, in protecting
citizens of the commonwealth.
The state' laboratory protects
your water supply. In 1924 It
tested 2302 samples' of water
sent in from all over the state
It examined 5492 cultures for the
detection of the diphtheria germ
It made nearly - 2000 tests for
syphilis and for -gonorrhoea, dis
eases which are costing the state
of Oregon thousands of dollars
annually. It helped greatly in the
detection of rabid animals, and
by prompt , diagnosis prevented
such disease in the persons bitten
by them. It was also instrumen
tar in the recognition and control
of typhoid fever, tuberculosis, ep
idemie meningitis,: and botulinus
poisoning. -
The laboratory is, the first step
toward the intelligent prevention
of disease. It is saving the state
of Oregon, over one hnndred times
its cost in the recognition, control,
and prevention of . communicable
diseases. Its tests are made free
of charge to all physicians and
residents of the state. It also
makes tests'-free of charge to sev
eral state and charitable institu
tions. The state laboratory is ab
solutely essential in the mainten
ence of the good health of the
citizens of . Oregon.

SAVE ID WHS A
VERY GOOD SLOGAN
The Object of Thrift Is Not
to Hoard MonSy, But to
Achieve Success
(By S. W. STRAUS, President
American Society for Thrift.)
"The man who saves is the man
who' will win."
-Tere is one 6f the best short
sermons ever preached on the sub
ject of thrift. A .
It tells the whole story of the
purposes and the rewards of thrift.
..The words .were ' uttered by
President, Coolidge, and. though
he made a number of other state
ments in the game connection, this
sentence embodies a lesson that
every school : teacher, every busi
ness executive, ' every . parent, ev
ery person, in fact, who exerts a
forceful . influence over others
should make use of.
The object of thrift is not-to
save money, to hoard wealth, to
acquire stocks and bonds and real
estate. The object of thrift is to
effect success.". '
What may be success . to one
would be considered failure by anr
other. We all have our standards
of success.
But, regardless of what these
standards may be, thrift is one of
the necessary means to the desired
end.-' - , --. 1 "'.. '. . .;
Lack of thrift breeds weakness,
vacillation, idleness. It robs one
of the power of progress. It kills
ambition. Thrift, as one of our
great statesmen once said, "stif
fens the will." It gives character.
It develops self-reliance. . It pro
vides the stamina without which
no-man can -truly succeed.
The financial independence won
through thrift is 'always an ele
ment of success, but the mental
and moral "advantages are of even
greater value. . r , . ' -'."-
Save and win; would be an ideal
American slogan.
Do You Know That Women
' Do, Most of World's Buying
e; Women in the United States do
85 per cent of the buying.? There
are a few interesting exceptions.
Contrary to popular belief men
buy the greater percentage of all
candy sold. This is true .particu
larly of the better grades of candy.
But of the groceriesdry goods
and Other staples of trade women
are chief - arbitrators. Therefore,
women should make it part of
fcheir- wise buying to familiarize
themselves thoroughly with all ad
vertised brands. . They should test
out the statements made by the
manufacturers, read literature, at
tend demonstrations, investigato
and analyze just as do buyers for
big business. :
And they should make it a mat
ter of principle to buy from the
dealers who sell standard, adver
tised brands and to ask for those
brands when buying.
