Is the city of Jalisco a myth, and
has the alleged "Pan-American Land
& Colonization CO.. been working a
huge swindle on the people OF this
place and others of the Northwest?
From the appearance of things now
there seems little doubt that such is
the case, and that those who have
purchased land upon the representa-
tions made by the agent who worked
this field, have been basely deceived.
All preparations had been made by
w. d. Hansford and Asa Mcdaniel to
leave for Mexico this evening. Berths
had been ordered by them, and had it
not been for the following press dis
patch which appeared yesterday, they
would have boarded the westbound
train tonight:
Mexico City, April 22.-American
Consul General Parsons has COM
menced an investigation of the alleg-
ed colonization schemes of the Pan
anna Land company in Chipias. Nu-
merous complaints have been filed
with the consul general Induced by
advertisements of the company. farm
ers of western Texas, Oklahoma, Ne
braska and Washington came to Chi
pias at their own expense to investi-
gate. 1t is alleged that the Panama
Land company bought 10000 acres of
land from the state government for
$4,000, and by advertising sold town
lots for over $375.O0O gold. The ad-
vertisements pictured comfortable
homes being erected and extensive
railroad shops and cultivated lands.
The investigators found the few rail-
road buildings were being removed to
better towns. Geronimo and Tola, and
claim the so-called cultivated lands
were a sandy waste, a creek a few
inches deep, instead of a navigable
river, and the only available harbors
some distance out in the Pacific
ocean. The consul has summoned
the officers of the company at Kan
sas City to appear here to show cause
why they should not be barred from
further use of the United States mails,
as well as to stop all further opera
tions.
Since reading the above the two
gentlemen mentioned and the dozen
or more others who have become en-
tangled in the scheme, have been
seized with the horrible suspicion
that they have been duped, and that
the Panama Land company. of CHA
pis is the same that operated here
as the Pan-American Land & Coloniz-
alton company. They are strengthen
ed in this belief by the fact that their
company has its headquarters at Kan
sas City, and that the tabled city OF
Jalisco is located in the state of CHA
pis.
But the above is not all, for a COM

phal arches beneath which conquer
-ors, laureled with victory and sated
with applause, might pass-conquer-
ors whose pastime was murder, whose
hordes were minions Of tyranny.
whose career was devastation, and
whose blood-letting surficed to "in-
carnadine the ocean, making the
green one red; not from the circles
of men engaged i'm any or in all
labors such as these; but from masons
whose skill and toll were consecrated
to a work so holy as that of building
a temple for the worship of the one
living and true God-as If to tell you
that your Masonic life springs from
religion, is nourished by religion, and
must ever repose and flourish engir-
died by religion, even as the wor-
shippers within the sacred edifice on
Zion's crest.
Another element of attraction in the
order of Free Masons is its age. 1t
potently appeals to one by its an
tiquity. Reaching back to the begin
nings of your order, through what
centuries we are borne; on what ruins
of empires look we down. Dynasties
blotted out: seats of Kingdoms trans
formed from oriental to western cap
itals, from southern to temperate
zones; the Caesars no more; the
Ptolemies forgotten; the teachers, ar
lists, poets, orators, statesmen of
Greece, but a name and a memory.
But in you there glows the fire of
an unwasted youth. You, after the
rush OF centuries, renew your youth
like an eagle. You, after the lapse
of near three thousand years, move
forth, bathed in the dew of the morn
ing, with eye undimmed, with form
erect. with natural strength unabated,
destined to run a race with time, and
prove in your principles, heirs of a
radiant and rapturous immortality.
Humanity is susceptible to such an
appeal. Vastness of duration gratifies
our sense of the sublime, inspires us
with awe, lifts us into a mood of
reverence, chastens and subdues the
spirit.
Yes, gentlemen, your order is old,
centuries old! And yet your age is
nothing compared with the age of Him
who came into this world to found the
holy Catholic church. When not a
billow of the ocean heaved, not a
wild bird sang, not an ancient hill
kissed the heavens, when not a ray of
light had travelled, not a planet wheel
ed, not a sun burned; when not an
angel had waved his pinion. or, with
the wing wherewith he swept into the
presence of his Maker, he veiled his
! face-then-then was He. the founder
of the Catholic church TN the be-
ginning was the Word, and the Word
was God. And the Word
was made flesh And 1t is he, who
was in the beginning. VINO is God, who

ALASKA WILL HAVE DELEGATE.
Death OF Senator Plat VIII Remove
the Only Obstacle.

Washington, April 24.-The death
of Senator Platt, of Connecticut. prob
ably means that next winter a bill
will be passed giving Alaska a dele
gate in congress.
Cushmans delegate bill would have
passed the last session had 1t not been
for Platt. When the senate committee
was ready to report, Platt served no.
tice that it would be useless, for he
would defeat the bill. Inasmuch as
he had it in his power to carry out
his threat no action was taken, though
the bill had twice passed the house.
AS Plat was the only senator seri-
ously opposed to an Alaska delegate,
it is believed such a measure can pass
next winter. Platts death will elevate
to the craftsmanship of the judiciary
committee Senator Clark of Wyoming.
This is the first time a Western man
has had such an important chairman
ship. The judiciary is the most inn
portant committee in the senate.

PendletoD the First City i'm the Coun-
try to Receive Paid Display Adver-
tising From the \. ID. T.
The East Oregonian Saturday con-
tanned what no paper in the United
States ever contained before, and that
is display advertisement for the A.
d. T. The enterprise of Manager
HIATT of the Western Union and the
local branch of the A. d. T.. the lat
ter company was induced to use ad-
vertising in bringing its service before
the public and educating the people
in what the mission of the A. d. T. is,
what it does, how it is operated, and
the cost.
The A. d. T. is a valuable institu-
ton for any town or city, as it places
at the service of the citizens a force
of m essenger boys, and guarantees the
work.
This venture in the advertising Of
the A. n. T. will undoubtedly prove
profitable. More of the a. d. T. ad-
vertisements will appear later, and all
should be read carefully.

munication just received here from
the Company strongly indicates that
1t is fraud. The announcement was
to the effect that those going to Jalis-
co from this state must leave from
San Francisco on May 10, that they
must go by water, and that the fare
for the round trip VIII be S169.5U.
When this information reached the
Jalisco fever-stricken ones of Pendle-
ton IT was like wind from a Klondike
glacier, and the bright vision of a
sunny southern cline with bounteous
plantations and flower -bespangled
woods. where many tinted birds en-
chant the listening air, vanished be-
fore the blast.
For when lots were sold here dur
ing last winter for s25 each, it was
then stated that all who so purchased
were entitled to a round trip ticket
from Portland to Jalisco, entirely by
rail, for the approximate price of $50,
something quite different from the fl
nal announcement made at the 18th
hour.
When the above notice of the
Change in the arrangements" was
received here it was swallowed with
disfavor by those interested, and
when they read the press dispatch
given above, their fears became re-
doubled. Preparations to depart have
been suspended, and the orders for
the berths cancelled, pending further
developments. ]. ]. Clarke, who rep
resents the Pan-American Land &
Colonization company in this section,
Is now said to be in San Francisco.

Mr.. Traver was not here Saturday
when selected, and following the
meeting he was wired by Clerk John
HALEY, Jr,, of the fact and asked to
respond. The answer came that he
would be here for consultation with
the board on next Friday, and upon
the receipt of his message Mr.. Haley
requested him to notify the board at
once in regard to his acceptance of
the position.

L. C. Traver, now city superinten-
dent of the Salem schools, was elect
ed late Saturday afternoon by the
Pendleton school board to succeed e.
B. Conklin, who has resigned. There
were IA applicants for the position

Prof Traver has been superintend-

Strength of Fleets in Guns.

Washington, April 24.-In a COM
pilation of figures on the comparative
strength of the Russian and Japanese
fleets, made by naval authorities here,
the balance of gun power is greatly in
favor of the Japanese. In big guns
and small the Russians are greatly
outnumbered, and though the Rus
slams have the greater number of bat
tleships the Japanese have two or
three times as many armored and pro-
tected cruisers as the Russian fleet.
Few officers of the navy depart
ment care to predict what the out
come of the apparently imminent bat
tie will be. They seem to think that
Rojestvensky will fight and that he
is now prepared to meet Togo.
The following table of the number
of guns in each fleet has been COM
piled by the navy department.

At the Church of the Redeemer
yesterday afternoon the beautiful Eas-
ter service of the Knights Templar
was held by Pendleton commandery
No. Z, with visitors from Baker City
and La Grande Communicates and the
public in attendance. At $3.50 the
knights Templar met in their lodge
room and from there marched to the
church, where the services were con-
Quoted by the rector, the Rev. Henry
Dixon Jones.
Following the ritualistic service of
the order the following sermon was
delivered by Rev. Jones:
Saint Paul, writing to his beloved
in the churches of Galatia, tells them
in the 26th, 27th and 2Sth verses of
the third chapter that they are the
sons of God, through faith, in Christ
Jesus "For as many of you as have
been baptized into Christ have put
on Christ. There can be neither Jew
nor Greek, there can be neither bond
nor free, for ye are all one in Christ
Jesus"
A part of this splendid declaration
of the Apostle to his converts In Gala
tia is certainly applicable to the noble
order of which you Sir Knights are
chosen representatives. 1t can be
truly said of the Masonic fraternity,
"There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free; and
/ would that it might be equally true
aye are all one in Christ Jesus"
h,tn NJ nd hnnnftn faith I
look forward to the time when 1t can
be said of your order, "Ye are all one
in Christ Jesus; when you are not
only members of the order of Free
and Accepted Masons, but are also
members of some branch of the holy
Catholic church. The first part Of
this splendid affirmation, however, is
true of your order-"There is neither
Jew nor Greek. there is neither bond
nor free"
The first builders of your order,
the Master Masons and grand mas
ters, who were they? They were of
different nationalities; they were of
different social standing. There was
the Hebrew and the Phoenician;
there was the Jew and the Greek;
there was the monarch and the sub
ject; there was the opulent Solomon
and there was the needy artisan.
Within your fraternity nationality is
unknown.
The Anglo-SaXon, the child of Wo-
din and Thor grasps the hand of the
son Of Abraham; one, the descendant
of Japheth, the other, the descend
ant of Shem. Within your fraternity
social standing is unrecognized. Roy
atty sits side by side with the chief
magistrate of n republic; opulence
grasps the horny fist of him who
wields the chisel or who drives the
plow.
And to the Christian priest 1t seems
most beautiful thing that you should
have had as your first Master Build
ers those whose craft engaged them in
the building of the temple. Others
might have been selected, For build
ers of that age there were other than
Solomon and his companions. Not
by chance was it that the historic
founders of your fraternity were men
engaged in work so Godlike. Not
from the midst of masons engaged In
piling pyramids wherein Egypts des-
pots might, as embalmed mummies,
slumber; nor from the hosts of ma
sons engaged in building palaces
wherein luxury and RIGHTEOUSNESS
might revel and rule-palaces, sym

fraud not from the circles of ma

Japan

Another condition considered great
ly in favor of the japanese is the ex-
perience of the personnel of the vari-
Gus ships and the service their ships
have seen. At least four of the Rus
sian battleships are new, and their
faults have never been found unless
Rojestvensky discovered them while
in the India ocean. On the other
hand, the Japanese have been fight
ing with the warships for over a year,
and have undoubtedly seen all of their
weak points and corrected them.

situation, said:

upon the ability of the gunners. ia
