Westborough, Mass, Feb. IS, 1927,
and was the youngest son Of family of
eight, six of whom reached maturity.
His parents were Elijah and Melinda
{ (Forbush) Corbett. Mr.. Cor belts boy
hood was passed in Washington county,
New York, where, until he reached the
age OF l3 years he received an ordinary
common school education. At that age
he began his business career in store
at Cambridge, remaining two years as
clerk and part of the time attending
Cambridge academy. He then went
home, and, after short term at school,
secured clerkship at Salem, the coun-
ty seat. After year there he went to
New York City and secured clerkship
in the dry goods store Of Williams,
Bradford & Co., serving there seven
years. During this period he firmly
established himself in the confidence of
his employers, so that in October, 1850,
they furnished him the necessary cap
ital to ship general line of merchan-
disc to Portland, Oregon, by way of
Cape Horn on the bark Francis and
Louise. lie arrived in Portland March
4, 81 years ago (l85D. AT that time
Portland contained about 400 inhabi-
tants and five small stores.
As soon as Mr.. Corbett had gained a
good financial start he began to take a
prominent part in those enterprises
which he saw were needed to develop
the resources of the country. In num-
erous business, public, church and
charitable enterprises Mr.. Corbett held
prominent position. He was a
director of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company, always casting his
influence in behalf of liberal manage
ment and to secure the lowest rates Of
transportation possible with good and
xuick service.
He was largely instrumental in the
original board Of trade, and for several
years was its president, and was active
in the chamber of commerce. In all
the important measures Of these bodies
Mr.. Corbett was foremost in counsel
and hearty cooperation. Mr.. Corbstt
was chairman OF the committee of one
hundred, which took a prominent part
in municipal affairs during the hard
times OF 1S93-95.
The Lewis and Clark centennial ex-
position was the last great creation of
Mr.. Corbett and was in many respects
bis favorite enterprise. His heart and
soul we're in it, and he gave to the
management of its affairs more time
and attention than to HE own private
business. 1t was his purpose to make
the success Of the exposition the round
ing out of his long business career, and
he would have succeeded il his life had
been spared.
Mr. Corbett is justly entitled to the
honor Of being the father OF the expo
sition. Without his help and influence
the local company could never have
been financed, nor would the state have
been so generous in its treatment Of the
undertaking.

Sunday at Yosemite joined the President at
the falls. Here he bade goodbye to his
guides Lydig and Leonard, and mounted
to his seat on the coach beside the driver.

the valley No incident occurred to mar
the pleasure of the drive, and the coach
rolled into Wawona shortly before II

Freedom Of Trade in Man .huria No
Longer Possible.

A dispatch from Picking yesterday says:
China. in reply to further representations
of the United States and Japanese minis
tiers, has again pointed out the impossibility
of including in the commercial treaties the
opening to trade of Manchurian towns on
account of Russian opposition.
The American minister proposes that
China open Mukden, Hardin and a small
port at the mouth of the Yalu river.

coercion, for second orders for Russian
firms amounting to 100000 bales of goods.
which otherwise would have gone to Ameri-

Mr.. Baldwin says the foreign firms COM
plain bitterly of the difficulty of conducting
business under the Russian administration,
and he believes that unless Russian absorp-
ton Of Machurfa is checked, the United
States will be deprived of a most promising
market for cotton within few years.

The Manchurian incident threatened at
