VACia. MX. . JEWISH SETTLERS FIRST IN AMERICA 250 YEARS AGO AT NEW YORK. Tlie Event Is Rctng Celebrated by Jewish Societies In Commemoration of the Arrival of Jacob Barlmon at New .Amsterdam In 1054 A Year Later 2S Jeulsh Refugees Came From Rrazll Movement Was Matle at Once to Expel Tlicm Jews Hare Ever Since Reen Numerous and In fluential In New York. New fork, Xov. 25. The Jews In all parts of the United States began today the celebration of the 250th an niversary of the first Jewish settlement In this country- Wherever there are Jewish communities this memorable day will be celebrated In an appro priate manner, by religious services In the. synagogues and public meetings. In which prominent Jews will review the history of the Jewish race in the United Stntes and speak of the Import nrice of that memorable day In the history of the race. It Is not more than proper thai New York, having a Urger Jewish population than any of er city of the country, and being the elty where the first Jewish set tltment was established, should cele brate the anniversary In particular ly elaborate manner. The program Includes religious ser vice! of thanksgiving In all syna gogues today and tomorrow and a large mass meeting at Carnegie hall, with a fine array of prominent spealr- rs. Judge Mayer Sulzberger will be the principal orator of the day at the Carnegie hall celebration. Among the other prominent speakers will be Os car 8. Strauss. Max J. Kohler, Dr. Cy rus Adler. Jacob H. Schiff, who will preside at the meeting. Daniel Gug genheim, Samuel Greenbaum, Edward Lauterbach, the Rev. Dr. Perslra Men ties, N. Taylor Phillips, Louis Stern and others, It is expected that rep resentative Jews from all parts of the United States will attend the meeting. It was In the early summer of 1654 that Jacob Barsimon, a Jew, landed In New Amsterdam, as New York wan called at that time. He was the first Jew who permanently settled In this country. A year later 23 Jewish refu gees from Brazil, arrived. Governor Peter Stuyvesant was In favor of ex cluding them from the New Nether lands, but the worshipful directors of the Dutch West India company stayed his hand on April 26, 1655, with the following order: "We would have liked to agree to your wishes and request thatjthe new territories should not be further In vaded by people of the Jewish race, for we foresee from such Immigration the same difficulties which you fear, but after having further weighed and considered the matter, we observe that It would be unreasonable and unfair, especially because of the considerable loss sustained by the Jews In the tak ing of Brazil, and also because of the large amount of capital which they have Invested In shares of this com pany. "After many consultations we have decided and resolved upon a certain petition made by said Portuguese Jews that they shall have permission to sail to and trade In New Netherland, and to live and remain there, provided the poor among them shall not become a burden to the company or the com munity, but be supported by their own nation. You will govern yourself ac cordingly." - - - Ever since that time New York has had a large and thriving colony of Jews. The first synagogue In the New World was built In New York In 1695. During the revolutionary war there were a great many Jews who support ed the American revolutionists finan cially. During the civil war many of them fougnt on the Union side and others contributed to a considerable extent to the financial needs of the country. It Is estimated that at the present time there are more than 1,500,000 Jews in the United States, of whom about 800,000 live In New York. Phil adelphla has about 75,000 Jews; Chi cago nearly 60,000. Until 1812 near ly all the Jews In New York and In this country In general, were Span lards and Portuguese. Then German Jews began to come In, having been driven out by the Napoleonic wars. As late as 1I2 the majority of the Jews In the Ghettos were German Jews, but since then the number of Polish and Russian Jews who emigrated to this country and settled here increased so much that now fully two-thirds of the Jews m New York are Polish or Rus sian Jews. HORRIBLY BEATEN AND BURN Ed DlMastir Overtook Young Man When Under Influence of Liquor. Bert Ballard, a young man in the employ of Slick Bros., the contractors for the Pin extension, was horribly burned last Sunday evening, and as a result he may be deformed for life, ays the WeUer signal. Sunday he. In company with John Ryan and James Wilson, went to Council from camp, and Saturday being payday they all took more liquor than was good for them. Ballard, however, became the most intoxicated of the trio. He was by far the largest and strongest man of the three, but being weak from the effects of the liquor, he was at the mercy of his companions, who picked a quarrel with him In which Ryan and he came to blows. Ballard was brutally beaten and left Insensible In a field about two and a half miles from camp. When he came to his senses he was very cold and proceeded to make a fire. He soon had a large fire going, but having received so many blows on the head, the effect was too much for him and he fainted and fell Into the fire. His lefr side was badly burned, his arm, bring cooked almost to a crisp The beat aroused him, but his cloth Ins; was afire and he was not able to PACLT fight It or remove the flaming gar ments. At last the flames went out but not until ha had been ; badly burned. He does not know how he did It, but managed to make his way to camp, where he was well cared for. He was moved to Council Monday morning and will be removed to his home in Caldwell soon. Monday eve ning he was suffering terribly, but Dr. Brown was called In and at last re ports he was resting easier. : - . TO ARREST PELT HUNTERS." Wholesale Shipment of Game and 1 lidos Front Montana. State Game Warden W. N. Stephens is absent from his office In the capltol building on a hunt for a party of men who have been persistently and suc cessfully violating the game laws In the Bitter Root mountains, says the Boise Statesman. Ho left Boise Inst week to keep an appointment at Butte with State Game Warden W. F. Scott of Montana, whose home is in Helena, and together the wardens will figure out some way to nip one of the grafts of the big game hunters In the Rocky mountains. It has long been the practice of hunt ers in the Bitter Root range to kill deer and elk on the Idaho side of the line and carry the pelts and meat Into Montana for shipment from somo con venient point. The wardens In the Copper state wero powerless to exercise authority over these men, and the Gem state warden was equally unable under the law to wreak vengeance upon the hunters who killed game In Montana and carried the pelts over Into Idaho for shipment The conferenc of Wardens Stephens and Scott Is expected to result In some plan for controlling his deputies In this state to arrest every man who tries to ship pelts out of Idaho, paying no attention to the protests that the game was killed In Montana. It Is probable that the Montana warden will take similar action with relation ho his deputies, and the mat ter will thus be brought Into court for a settlement one way or the other. If the courts hold that the arrests un der these circumstances are Illegal, It will then be necessary for the wardens to Insist upon such amendment to the game laws as will cover the circum stances. HELP THE PORTAGE Open River Association Issues Circu lar to Shippers. The Open. River association, through Its president. J. A. Smith, and secre tary, W. J. Mariner, has Issued the fol lowing notice to shippers: "Through the efforts of the Open River association a through boat line has been established between Port land and points on the upper Col umbia river.

For serv ice beyond Irrlgon as far as Kenn wick special arrangements can be made. Freight is received at the Reg ulator dock, foot of Alder street, on Tuesday , and Friday. "It is confidently hoped that this line will receive the loyal and undi vided support of every business man and property holder In this city and on the Columbia river. "It Is the first attempt since the river service was abandoned nearly a generation ago to make use of the most important factor In the develop ment of this country the water haul which controls all rates, transcon tinental as well as local. "We feel we have the right to ask your support for this enterprise. Don't find fault, but If there are any errors or omissions take them up as you would a matter personal to your own business." BLUE OR WHITE BARLEY? Dayton Paper DlncnsHes Grain Grow- Injr In Columbia County. J. D. P. Smidt. a grain broker of Tacoma, who recently made his first visit to Dayton, and who purchased a small amount of our barley, has been Interviewed by newspaper correspon dents, and through them advised the farmers of Columbia county to sow fall white barley instead of the blue barley which is now grown, says the Dayton Courier-Press. Our experienced barley growrs have been growing the blue barley, the kind that .'ms given Columbia county a reputation throughout the world, and the decision to grow this kind was arrived at by experiments as to Its qualities as brewing barley made by Jacob Welnhard, after ex haustlve experiments with all brands of barley, in a practical sense as ft brewer and also as a maltster,, and the best brewers and maltsters of the ccarit have Indorsed his results after having made their own experiments. Mr. Smldt advocates the growing of white barley, Instead of blue, be cause Its yield is quite as heavy and as a rule it commands a slightly high er price. This Is totally untrue, and any barley raiser can say the same thing, for It was through the expert menu of Mr. Wlnehard that the blue barley was Introduced here, and only because It was much superior to the other brands of barley. 100 Reward.
