CHRISTIAN ENDEA TOR.

For the first time in it's history the
United Society of Christian Endeavor
meets on other than American soil.
The little society of a dozen members,
who a dozen years ago met in the
Williston church in Portland, has
members affirm it's pledges and mil
lion eager, enthusiastic souls make
glad the heart Of the church. Christian
Endeavor came at modal point in the
worlds religious history. At an apa
thetic moment in New England Con-
gregationalism it sprang into life and
grew beyond the bounds of Congre-
gationalism into greater interde
nominationalism fellowship, a factor
in Christian unity.
Christian unity we take to be the
end of Christian Endeavor. Not nee
essarily church unity would be i'm
piled in this, but the glorious fulfil
ment of gospel, carried to every crea-
ture, by church mediums suited to the
needs and desires of each man, but
all aglow with the enthusiasm, the
everlasting youth of the true religion
of the living God. Christian Endeavor
has taken this consecrated work into
it's consecrated hands and, in the
language of it's pledge, "trusting in
the Lord Jesus Christ" promises it's
fulfilment. = Statesman.

WHY GOLD GOES ABROAD.

The reason for the unprecedented
exports of gold to Europe during the
past six months is because all debts
and balances due in Europe are paya-
bic in gold only. The flow of gold
from all countries has been to Europe,
for many years, because nearly, if not
quite all, countries have been and are
the debtors of the bankers of Europe.
So that the gold of the world is being
stored in the treasures of Europe.
Within the past forty years over one
billion of dollars in gold has gone
from the United States to Europe and
has not returned.
Over one billion dollars of the secu-
rites of the United States, such as
railroad, State, municipal and United
States bonds, are held in Europe The
interest and principal OF the securities
are payable in gold. Within recent
years the drain of gold has not been
felt in the United States, because our
exports of breadstuffs and provisions
have been so great and SO much in
excess of our imports that the balance
has been well preserved.
In the last fiscal year, ending June
80, 1892, our exports exceeded our
imports s202, 600, 600. This was the
balance of trade in our favor. During
the same year our exports of god
were lie SIS than half a million dollars

Mr.. Editor, = Having recently taken
a journey to the ''Windy" city beside
Lake Michigan, possibly a brief jott-
ing will be of interest to your many
readers. left Albany June 27, taking
the cars at Morrisville Our train was
quite rapid one and it was only a
short time before old Mansfield and
the Green Mountains receded from
sight and we started across the COM
paratively level country of Northern
New York. To one who has always
resided in a mountain state it is a
novel sight, if not a sensation, to pass
into the level country where there are
no mountains and no hills, as we count
hills in Vermont. Except a slightly
broken region in the vicinity of Hamil
ton, Ontario, our whole route was
through level country. The next
thing that interested me was the state
of the growing crops. We may con-
sole ourselves with the fact this year
that crops in Vermont are fully as for
ward as they are anywhere east of
Chicago. I saw no better looking
corn than l saw in Albany when [
started from home. Potatoes were
much smaller as we went west The
winter wheat, of course, which covers
large area, all the way from New
York to Chicago, is thing we do not
see IN our own state, I Judge this to
be good. It will require harvesting
soon. The hay crop is excellent and
is now being cut - -

OREGON MERCHANTS EXCURSION
More Interest in 1t Every Day-The
Southern Pacific Will Cut Rates
Against the Oregon Pacific.

The excursion of Oregon merchants and
producers to San Francisco. the aim of
which is TO re-establish trade relations be-
tween Southern Oregon and San Francisco.
is exciting more interest every day.
The practical results of the movement
are becoming more apparent, and its sig
nificance is further attested by two things.
The Southern Pacific Company is propos-
ing to head off the proposed competition
by the Oregon Pacific rail and steamboat
lines and the Portland business commu-
nifty Is becoming aroused in opposition and
is looking to the Southern Pacific Com
pany to choke off San Francisco's antici-
pated extension of trade, of which very
small part would be at Portland's expense.
Word has been received from Southern
Oregon that the Oregon Pacific excursion
to this city will be attended by even a
greater number of merchants Of that sec
tion than was at first supposed.
Tho steamer Willamette Valley will
have to make two trips to Yaquina before
all the excursonists and their families
can be landed in this city.
In anticipation of the coming guests the
local Board of Trade has appointed COM
mittee to meet the steamer ON her arrival
on the morning of the 29th inst. to escor t
them tc their hotels and extend to them
the welcome of the entire commercial
community, which has entered into the
spirit of the affair with zeal which as
sures success to their undertaking of max
ing things pleasant tor the coming guests.
The banquet which is to be rendered the
excursionists is to take place at the Palace
II al tho of hn incl of
which will be present representative mer-
chants and wholesalers of this city and
other invited guests besides the Oregonisns.
The bay excursion is set for the 30th
inst, but this date may be changed. No
steamer has been decided upon yet but
one is to be chartered especially for the
occasion.
D. X. Vaughn. general agent of the Ore
gon Pacific Company, said yesterday in an
interview with CALL reporter: "Our
scheme is to get these Willamette mer-
chants acquainted with our San Francisco
business men so that ell parties concerned
can discuss the question OF the future de-
velopment of trade between the two sec
tions.
"Our line will prabably make further
reductions in its rates and give shippers a
new tariff, so that it will pay Oregonians
to buy in San Francisco. Seventy-five
excursionsts leave Yaqaina Oh the 9th
and the balance will come down on OF
about the 9th of the month"

fic's excursion has been steadily on the
increase.

carried away on the North American
Steamship Company's steamer but dupli-
Gates. If so. there is chance for the
owners of the old archives loaned to Ban
croft to recover them.
Yet it is stated on the most credible au-
thority that the whole library, or at least
all that has been sold to the University of
Chicago, will be sent East in a few days.
None of the employees OF the great his
torian will say a word about il. Even
7. A. G. Dorland. who is supposed to
know all about Hubert-or at least as
much as Hubert will let any one know
about him or his affairs-sad yesterday
that the first he ever heard of the sale OF
the library was through the columns of
The CALL.
1.-The library was first offered for sale
after the great fire on Market street" said
Mr.. Dorland. "Just before the fire the
firm of A. l.. Bancroft & Co. ordered a
very large lot of goods, because freights
were low, and let expire without renewal
$780, 900 of insurance because the rate was
raised"
Then Mr.. Dorland after explaining how
it came that Mr.. Bancroft had offered his
library for sale went ON to say: That
story about its being offered to the State
for S25O.0OO was untrue. Mr.. Bancroft
never offered his library for sale.
'.Some people came here and suggested
that it be offered to the State through the
Legislature then in session, but Mr.. Ban
croft paid little attention to it."
Mr.. Dorland had not the remotest idea
that there could be any truth in the state
ment that the library had been sold in
Chicago, nor that Hubert Howe had gone
on to place it. And all this he said after
his long explanation of how the good HUI
bert was forced to offer it for sale after
the fire. Mr.. Dorand explained that the
great historian had gone to Chicago to see
about the publication of a book on the
fair. He was not asked if it was to come
out as part of the history.
The information that comes to THE
CALL from the most reliable source is
that the whole library is in few days to
be sent on to Chicago.
In that case the Vallejo heirs, the Estu-
dilos, and others who claim that they
have loaned their ancestral documents to
the historian must needs bestir themselves
if they want TO regain possession of their
own.

Chamber OF Commerce of Portland. Or,
has inadvertently told the Truth about the
Southern Pacific Railroad in an interview
with northern newspaper man. The In
feryiew Is interesting as indicating the at
ttude and sentiment of the business COM
munity of Portland. Mr.. Eckenberger
said ia reply to the question: DO you
think that the Oregon Pacific is in posi-
ton to assist the San Francisco merchants
to Sc ure large trade in The Willamette
Vailey% that "The Southern Pacific Com
pany will correct the present inequality of
its tariff and so adjust rates TO all points
south Of Albany as to give Portland the
best OF it''
Mr.. Eckenberger is right, 1t is learned
on good local authority that the tariff de-
partment of the Southern Pacific. under
directions from the company's officers, is
about to prepare a revised tariff to deprive
the merchants of San Francisco of the
trade which 1t is trying to work up In the
north.
Hardly had the slogan "To the north"
been sounded when consultation OF the
monopoly's officers was held. Letters
poured in from Portland. and hue and
cry has been raised through the press OF
Portland that San Francisco is making
bold attempt to divert the trade OF the
Willamette Valley from that city.
The monopoly having blood-sucked the
commercial public of San Francisco is
about to make play for Oregon's trade to
the detriment of San Francisco.
1t is said that the new tariff of the South
ern Pacific from points south of lbany to
Portland will cut the Oregon Pacifc's rates
from Albany to San Francisco 10 cents on
hundred pounds.
The present rate from Portland to Oak
land, Or, 1S1 miles south. is 70 cents first
class, 70 cents second, 63 cents third and
Sc cents fourth class. The rates from AL
bany to Oakland over the Oregon Pacific
are about so per cent less; distance, 102
miles. This gives San Francisco the ben
eft of lower rate to Albany and all points
south by 10 cents.
This advantage is what the Southern
Pacific Company proposed removing in
favor Of Portland. Notwithstanding that
the company is in no way obligated to
Portland, has comparatively little property
in Oregon and about a tenth part of the
mileage 10 constructed roads in that State
it has in California. Mr.. Ecken berger
further says in his interview:
IL am satisfied that the Southern Pacific
will assist the merchants of this city to
meet any competition for the valley trade
which may come from San Francisco
through the Oregon Pacific and its connec-
tions. feel sure that the Southern Pa
cific will make such rates from Portland
to the valley points as may Offset any
rates made by the Oregon Pacific from San
Francisco to the same places. The South
ern Pacific is in a position to absolutely
control the trade of the Willamette
Valley"
The move of the Southern Pacific in re-
vising its Oregon tariff is in one sense a
blow dirert ted at the Oregon Pacific Rail-
road Company, but in another way it is a
blow directed squarely at California.
With its few hundred miles of road in the
north the Southern Pacific is dealing more
fairly by the Oregonians than it is bv Cali
fOrnia, where it operates a complete sys-
