Harry Wilson, II years and 4
months Of age, the son of Mr.. A. H.
and Mrs. M. E. Wilson of Salem was
drowned in the willamette river on
the opposite side of the river from the
chair factory while in swimming with
some other young men. He was a
good swimer and after having per
formed some difficult feats in the
water, he rose to the top holding up
his hands and exclaiming that he was
dizzy. He lay on top of the water a
short time going in various directions,
being so dizzy that he knew not which
direction to go; but unfortunately his
maneuvers were misunderstood by his
friends who thought he was playing.
He then went down to rise no more
alive. The boys did all in their power
to raise him, but to no avail When
he went down the last time, he stirred
the water until it was so roily that no
trace of him could be found. Tempo
rary search was abandoned and help
was called from the city. 1t was not
ten minutes until a thousand people
lined the banks of the river. Grapple
hooks were used for several minutes
without any success. Finally Gaines
Fisher, Jr., diving down, found the
body and brought it to the surface,
after it had been under water about
one hour. Henry Price discovered
the location of the body with a garden
rake attached to pole. The body
was again dressed and brought to this
side.

A PLUcKY BANK CASHIER.

A few weeks ago bank at Mitchell
Oak, suspended, and the affairs were
placed in the hands of an assignee.
| The bank had a branch at White Lake,
and the cashier of the latter was or
dered to close it up and turn over the
cash to the assignee. But the cashier
refused. He said the White Lake
branch did not owe the Mitchell bank
cent, but that, on the contrary, the
bank at Mitchell owed his bank
S1i 900. He said he could not see
why the money of his depositors should
be taken to pay the debts of the Mitch
ell concern.
The assignee of the Mitchell bank
went over to White Lake, and posted
a notice on the bank that it was closed.
But fhe cashier, aided by depositors,
tore down the notice The cashier
then took one window and his assist
ant another, and they began to pay off
the depositors. The assignee jumped
over the counter and ordered a hault,
but, instead Of haulting, the crowd
took the assignee and fired him out of
the building into the street. The
cashier then paid off the depositors in
full, and put the key of the bank in
his pocket.
That is the kind of a bank cashier to
have around. Perhaps the vigorous
action of the depositors may have had
something to do with his mode of set
ting up. 1t is an example worth fol-
lowing.

MORAMMED AND MOHAMMEDAN-
ISM.
Rev. VAR. Blanchard Lecture Last Even
ing.


One OF Mr. Blanchard's usual large audi
ences was present at tho vestry of Congress
square church last NIGHT to learn OF the fonnd-
er Of the religion of Islam and the great be-
lief which he promulgated and which has be-
come the creed at the present time of one hun
dred and seventy five millions of people.
After the usual services, Mr.. Blanchard be.
gan his remarks with reference to the pres
ent position Of the East in political affairs. and
proceeded to tell OF the life OF Mchanmed.
Mohammed was born at Mecca in oil. His
youth AID manhood were marked by melan-
choly. In his fortieth year began the visions,
which he Continued TO have during his life.
HIS religion at first made few converts. In
1922 occurred the hegira, or flight from Mecca
to Medina.
Aided partly by the political situation, Mo-
manned soon became powerful. But as his
age and power increased, his methods changed
and cruelty and death were inf cted on all
who DID not become converts to his religion.
Mohammed died in 632, leaving host OF
followers, who, enc hundred years later domi-
mated the East, Northern Africa and Spain.
The speaker next considered those elements
OF strength IN the religion Of Mohammed
which have contributed to its present mower,
First smong these Is the personality of tue
founder. All great leaders are differentiated
from the mass of men, and this Is especially
true of Mohammed. Another feature of
strength is tbs doctrine OF the unity of God.
The knowe6gs of Mohammed's life possessed
BY his followers added TO his success. The
Koran, written by Mobammed, exercised great
IL fiuence on The growth of The religion, while
the term of Christianity then prevalent To-
yited the Introduction OF new creed.
The Heaven in which all bodily pleasures
were present and the hell where the body was
continually renewed only to be consumed by
ever-devonring flames are among the notice
able features of Mohammedism. Intoxicstion
and gambling are most strongly denounced.
The speaker predicted the Iall of the religion
of Islam, and described It's weakness as lying
in the absence OF any idea of the fatherhood Of
man, and also in the poygumous practices Of
lis devotees.
The lecture on the Religion of Mexico an6
Peru will be delivered next Tuesday evening
