Lecture by PROT. Edward II Grisgs Ia
FIEst 9scthOdtst Church.


FIEst 4sUthOutst Church.
! To all lovers of the mystic in poesy,
the beautiful and true in art, the fail
ings, as well as the grandeur in human
nature, the lecture in First Methodist
church last evening by Prof. Edward
Howard Griggs must have made an eo-
quent appeal. The full title of the lee
ture was The first part of Goethe
Faust The Faust problem and the
spirit Of modern culture" There was
good attendance of members of the
association and associates. Mr.. Hitler
introducing the lecturer announced his
inability up to date to procure the Hy-
perion for January 3, and that the date
would be advertised in the public prints
and by circular.
The first lecture of the next series
will be held in Warner hall January TO-
Prof, Griggs approached his subject
by summarizing the methods Of the
ancients and those of the middle ages
in gathering material for thought and
giving expression to it. Coming down
to the awakening of modern Germany
he asserted that the world-poet Goethe
interpreted universal human experience
anu the plOSIeSS OIL humanity. lHe
poet viewed human life from the noun
tain heights Of philosophy. Self Gull
ture but not by any means, selfish cul
ture was the chief end Of Goethe's
life. Strangely enough the lecturer for
got to touch on the poets own moral
and social experiences. Had he done
so perhaps he would have found that
Goethe's very equivocal realization of
his moral ideals more than anything
helped him to tone and color his trag-
edy Of Illicit love and its terrible con-
sequences. Faust" the lecturer con-
tended, has two forms of interest to the
world, the personal or internal, and
the eXternal-those forces which are
deepest in the worlds heart. Mr..
Griggs then gave vivid word pic
ture of the poem itself told the story
of a grand poetic conception in an eX-
haustiye and sympathetic manner. He
interspersed the story with a running
commentary of an interesting nature
Though slightly didactic in tone, those
interjectiona We're mastery scholarly
and reverent. and the keynote or text
of his conception of the poets idea eX
pressed in Faust out of extremity,
EDWARDS towards eternity. The story
is we'll known, but the clothing of ply
steal figures in intellectual garments,
the ranging of reason and intellectual
negotiation against spiritual aspiration,
the fierce human struggle after happ-
ness contracted with the true aspiration
of the soul for the ideal elements of Joy
in life, were all traced with the power
of a scholar and enthusiast. Prof.
Griggs Is an undoubted master Of lam
suage and reasoning, combined with an
awakened consciousness of the moral
aspect of the relation of the sexes and
his lecture on Faust will not soon be
forgotten by those who heard It,

half less than that of the Cape which
would mean a saving of about $4,000. 900
for the Transvaal Then there is an
other point-the Transvaal Government
gets a paltry 100000 a year from the
dynamite monopoly, while the conces-
sionnaries make about 100000 out Of
it. The latter have undoubtedly broken
their contract and its cancellation has
been recommended over and over again
When we assume the Government Of
the Transvaal we shall be able to stand
in the shoes of the conceSsiannaries if
we choose and 100000 a year can be
added to the revenue without the mines
being penny worse off than they are
now. 1t seems, indeed, as If without
adding any thing to the existing charges
a sum of e2,500,000 might be set free
without difficulty to provide for the
service of war indemnity

AS usual we find the holiday rush has

small lots here and there, too little to
make a fuss over and too big to
throw away. We have decided to mark
them down. Here's the story in partio-

U. S. Crop Bulletin.

Western Oregon present condi'
tions and prospects are favorable
for a successful crop year.
Fall and winter sown grain are
in excellent condition. The favor
able weather during the past ten
days has produced good growth in
grain.
Peach, cherry, plum and prune
trees are in tull bloom in all por-
tlons of Western Oregon.
The reports show that the dam
age done to fruit trees was not as
great as was reported. Some think
that fruit trees now indicate larg-
er yield than they did at this time
last year. AS berries in Oregon
are more prolific than any other
fruit, local injury, if such really ex-
lists, will not affect the general sup
ply. Strawberries are in bloom in
Southern Oregon.
The warm weather produced a
rapid growth in grass and it is now
in excellent condition. Hops are
above ground aud active work
is being done in all yards Hop
growers are pleased with present
conditions. Flax is being sown;
the acreage is being greatly in
creased. Garden making has COM
menced. The condition of products
and of farm work is now satisfacto-
ry IN all sections and prosperous
crop year is indicated.
Reports from the mountain re-
glons indicate that there is more
snow in the mountains at this date
than usual. This being true, a
good water supply for the season is
assured.-B. S. PAGUE, Monday,

THE LEADER.
w. L. DAVIS, EDIToR.-
FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1899.

Fish Commissioner H. D. Nc
Guire and Senator A. w. Reed
were drowned in the North imp
qua river Saturday. Mondays de-
tails, as given by the Oregonian,
are that the drowning took place
at p. m. Messrs. Mcclure, Reed
and Hubbard were warned by peo-
pie of the vicinity that it was very
dangerous, especially to those not
acquainted with its rapids aud
whirlpools, but they we're old boat
men and expressed no doubt of
their ability to take care Of them
selves. The river for three or four
miles above the junction with the
South Umpuua is a succession of
rapids and whirlpools, and at places,
especially at this time Of year. is
both deep and dangerous. After
the party had gone considerable
distance down the river, having
safely passed through two or three
of the rapids, a rowlock was brok-
en-, thus rendering the boat practi-
cally unmanageable. They attempt
ed to work their way to shore with
one oar, and approached so near
that Senator Reed grasped the
branch of an overhanging tree, but
the current was so swift that the
boat was being drawn under water,
and he released his hold. The cur
rent then Shot the boat rapidly out
into the stream, where it was
swamped and upset. Mcclure and
Hubbard struck out for shore.
Hubbard reports that Mcclure was
swimming ahead of him and ap-
peared to be swimming easily.
When Hubbard reached the shore,
and turned to look for his compan-
ions, Mcclure had disappeared and
Reed had climbed upon the boat,
which was rapidly drifting down
stream, and he saw him no more.
AS Senator Reed could not swim,
he was probably washed from his
insecure position and sank to rise
no more.

The Canal, the Navy, and the
Finances.

The pretense of the gentleman
who dominated the action of the
House of Representatives in defeat
ing the Nicaragua Canal bill was
that they stood as the great cham
plons OF economy, and that the
United States, on account of the
war, was just now spending too
much money to build canal.
This argument will not bear close
analysis. The United States would
hardly be expected to build the
Nicaragua Canal out of current
revenues, but by the sale of bonds,
which it would probably market at
o15 per cent. The annual interest
charge on $Ioo, 900, ,oco of bonds
would be s., $780, 900. There is
some reason to baleive that the tolls
that could be collected from the use
OF the canal for commercial pur-
poses would pay operating ex.
penses and the interest on the bonds
Further than that, however, # must
be remembered that we are now
spending in round figures $50, 600 =
900 a year for the maintenance and
growth Of our navy. The Nicara-
qua Canal, even ifit were boycotted
by commerce and used exclusively
as a conveyance for the United
States navy, would be measure Of
actual monetary economy. With
such a canal built, The Gulf Of
Mexico would obviously be our
great rendezvous, and the ability to
send vessels quickly from the At
lantlc to the Pacific and vice versa
through canal would add so much
to the efficiency of our navy that
we could accomplish given results
with a much smaller relative num-
Der OF vessels. When one considers
that commercial uses would support
the canal and that the existence of
the passage would save us several
milton dollars year in our naval
Dill, 1t Is plain enough that the plea
OF economy as the reason for kill
ing the Nicaragua canal bill is not
entitled to rerious respect. The ar.
gument that the bill itself was OH
Jectlonable in some in some of its
features and that the government
needs more time to perfect prelim-
mary plans is, of course, an aror-
ment of a different sort; and if
urged with sincerity it is of verv
great weight. The Walker-Haunt
commission has not made its final
report, although its preliminary
statements had been wholly en-
courageing.-American Montblv
