Castle Rock to Be Scaled.
The Sacred Burial Grounds
of the GOnoWanidnS.

For untold centuries Beacon rOck-Or,
as it is more familiarity called. Castle
roek-situated about thirty miles from
Portland Ore, has reared aloft its
rugged contour, defying the braVest to
scale its SCARED and precipitOUs sides.
So far as known, no white man has
ever succeeded in reaching its summit
and a century has elapsed since the
last of the great Indian chieftains was
laid TO rest on its summit.
What viii eventually prove to be one
Of the most exciting and interesting
trips ever made in the Pacific north

future. A party now being organized
for the purpose VIII undertake the as
cent. The party, small one, will be
accompanied by a competent Indian
guide and viii be under the leadership
of Frank J. Smith and Walter T.
Sewell Of Portland.
Beacon rock. which is about fifty-five
miles from Portland by the water
route. is about LOCO feet in height, but
as no measurement Of its height has
ever been taken. it is impossible TO give
an accurate figure. It's base covers
thirteen and One-quarter acres. and at
the top il measures at least an acre in
extent. From this il can readily be
seen that the sides are precipitous and
the perils accompanying the ascent are
great
On account of the unwilIingness of
the Indians residing in the vicinity TO
impart any information concerning the
use of the rock in past centuries as a
burial ground. it has been impossible
10 get definite information concerning
that rite. which is held so sacred
among the red men, Vague rUmOr has
it, however. that for ages the summit
of this almost inaccessible rock was
the last resting place Of all the great
chieftains of the tribe OF the Coma
wanians
From the base Of Beacon rock to the
foot Of the ruined abutment OF the
Bridge of the Gods the surrounding
country is strewn with Indian relics
and the bleaching bones of the sbor-
igines This whole country is rich in
romantic legend. and one can scarcely
set foot at any point hereabOUts that

10 McDILL'S MUSINGS.
HOMES AND RELIGION.

Recently, have entertained four clergymen:
one U. B., one Presbyterian and two Mormons.
With all, talked ,on labor questions. One
preacher did not know there was labor ques-
ton. One preacher made wry face at the
mention of the laboring man.
The Mormons, so far as the church of the
Latter Day Saints is concerned, have solved
the labor question. Ninety per cent of the
Mormon families own their homes, and the
proselytes are from the ranks of the very poor.
The secret of Mormon success in proselyting
Genties is revealed. 1t is part of Mormon
church work to secure homes for the members
of that church The well-todo help the indi.
gent
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Catholic
aud other churches let their INDECENT members
look out for themselves, to great extent.
None of these churches ever dreamed OF an or
ganzed effort to secure homes for all their
members. From time fmmemoral, the clergy
men Of the orthodox organizations have taught
the doctrine of ''root, hog, or die" and that
paradise is somewhere beyond the skies.
The Latter Day Saints do not believe in eter-
nal damnation, and they do believe in an earthly
paradise. They have caused the desert of Utah
to "blossom as the rose."
Orthodoxy believes in an eternal hell, "where
the worm dieth not and The fire is not quenched
Now, am uot writing this article for the
purpose of eulogizing Morrnonism, but for the
purpose of comparison. The Latter Day Saints
open the gates OF paradise on earth, and do not
wholly close them in the lif. to come. Ortho-
doxy opens no gates on earth, and the opening
for the future is very uncertain, to most people.
Probability on earth, and hard climbing to
reach Heaven, with the probability of sliding
of into hell, is not an attractive religion. The
day for that kind of religion has passed. Bar

certainty, has alurements that is irresistible
TO intelligent people.
Man is, to some extent, reasonable creature.
He prefers warmth to cold good victuals to
bone or no victuals. He likes place he can
call his own, in which to take shelter from in
clement weather. Most people like to wear
good clothes, and religion that promises these
things, and endeavors to make the promises
good, is the religion that will bid for, and Sc.
cure, the affection of the American people.
The religion of the future must be a religion Of
home and family, with home comforts.
1t is claimed, and admitted, that the Christ
ian church is losing its hold upon the masses.
1t is charged, and not controverted, that it is
the ministers fault and not the fault of the
religion of Jesus christ, that the masses turn
from the church doors. If the latter charge is
true, the religion of Jesus Christ is not fairly
presented by preachers, and not practiced by
church members.
Jesus revealed the character of the Divine
Beirg, in both His teachings and His acts.
The brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of
God are as clearly taught as any fact that comes
within the range of human understanding.
The apostles understood that the teachings of
Jesus .enjoined community of goods. The
disciples had call things in common If one
was hungry, all went hungry. If the supply
of food was sufficient, all were fed.
If Christian commonwealth had been es-
tablished in the early days of Christianity, there
is no doubt that it would have been on the
principle of enough for all and no boards for
the few. Jesus taught by example that the
hungry were to be fed and the sick were to be
healed.
sharing of earthly comforts is clearly in
line with the doctrine of 'Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself." In a word, the
religion OF Jesus Christ meets mans wants
upon earth, and supplies them, but not i,
that way that the industrious shall labor for
the idle, for, the Apostle Paul declares that IF

MR.. ROOSEVELT AND EXTRAVAGANCE.

From chicago American.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, in his little lessons
for the people, denounces sgance-thlnks
that lavish expenditure is in bad taste and irrl-
tates the masses.
Mr.. Roosevelt keeps, at the expense OF the
people, two private yachts-one the Mayhower,
and the other the Syph.
Not less than million dollars, and probably
more, was spent on the Mayfower, which was
the extravagaut private yacht OF the Goelet
family. 1t costs the people at least $4,000
year, including running expenses and inter-
est, to keep up The Mayfower for the presidents
comfort, luxury and amusement. 1t costs at
least $4,000 year to keep up the Sylph,
which is used by the president as yacht to
run errands, bringing Senator Platt aud other
politicians from New York to the presidents
private residence. AHa
Thus, Mr.. Roosevelt, who is supposed e.'be
hired by the people to represent their interests
for salary of 5000 year, allows the ex-
penditure of $500, 900 a year of public money
to keep him in private yachts
We don't know whether this is strictly legal
or not, but we are inclined to think that tor
one president of so.called republic to have
TWO private yachts at his disposition at
public expense of $2oo,ooo year might come
under the head of extravaganza.
Possibly it makes a difference when tue
money is spent for the amusement and convent
ence of great statesman.
Speaking OF extraVagance and democratic
simplltv-since Mr.. Roosevelt chooses to lee
ture the people on thdse subjects. how about
the attitude of the president; of the United
States toward the railroads Which rob the Unit
ed States postoffice systematically, and which
rob the people through secret deals with trusts
all of the time?
Should the president of the United States
ride in private cars at the expense OF railroad
corporations?
Should not he president of the United States
nav his own fare and his own expenses when
he travels, OF limit his expenses to his govern
ment allowance
Ordinarily, it is thought improper for Judge
TO accept favors from those who appear before
him.
The railroads are constantly interested III
bills which must be signed by the president
before they become a law.
Should the president receive favors constant

his judgments2

THE SOCIALIST LOVES HIS BROTHER.

How can man love God, whom he has not
seen, if he hate his brother, whom he has seen?
How can man love his brother when he
treats that brother worse than he treats his
dogs?
How can people love God who gave Rock
eteller billions and bilious of dollars worth of
oil, while the fellows who burn the oil or draw
it from the earth are drawn on fer the billions?
Will the coal-miners now on a strike love
God who they are taught to believe gave Baer
and the rest of the coal operators all the coal,
while they who perform ali the labor are the
prey of hunger and disease?
