ations black eye," for they were
there on the ground and know just
what there was there. The dele
gated Investigators of the party
made keen inquiries about every
conceivable point that might have a
bearing on the value of the holdings
of those who had trusted in Lavey
and his company and who bought
lots or acreage. And, what hap
pened?
At every one of the townsites in
which the P. G. Lavey company was
interested we were met by bands and
reception committees comprised of
the leading business men and citi-
zens. We were dined and feasted
like the lords of creation We were
given, as 1t were, the freedom Of the
city We were taken for drives
through all the neighborlng territory
and in all that entire week that this
critical crowd was making its in
spection not one word of criticism,
not one syllable Of adverse comment,
not breath of i'll report was heard
about the goods that pat" LaVey
was delivering to his multitude Of
customers. Where we might reason
ably have expected a bowling wilder
ness awaiting the brain and Drawn
of man to give 1t the touch Of
civilization We found thriving COM
munities. We found substantial
business centers with rapidly grow
ing residence sections surrounding
them. We found an up-to-date rail-
road cutting its way right through
the very heart of the rich and
beautiful valley. We found thrift
and culture, enterprise and ciyiliza-
ton, business and commercial activi-
ty. And Laveys advertisements had
said nothing about these towns being
there then.
1t was all wonderful empire into
which pat" Lavey was bringing his
people. AS we stood one bright
afternoon in the glowing sunlight at
the head of the great klamath basin
and let our eye traverse the un-
limited expanse that sunk its hori-
zon into the distant haze of coming
twilight we could not help but feel
that here, indeed, was a promised
land, region Of plenty, country
that even then was poor mans
paradise and a future empire that
would be the abiding place of thous-
ands Of contented people, where
there was room for all and where

know what he has accomplished, you
feel like sticking out your hand and
saying, Put here there, Pat, Pm
glad to know you"
Pat came out here from the
Middle West a while back and he
began to stir up some of the dry
bones He was kind of bitter at first
because he felt that the "Big Eel
lows" as he likes to call them, have
their hammer" out for the young
chap. He was given to understand
that there wasn't much Of a chance
of opportunity for the Young Up
start" He let the thing rankle in
his bosom for while but just about
year ago, "Pat" Lavey let his Irish
get the best of him, or rather, he let
it bring the best there was in him out
of him, and he said Come on, you
fellows, I'll show you. I'll match my
steel with yours"
And, so this little story is to be
about this young "Upstart," who, in a
year, started out at the bottom of the
ladder with nothing for capital but a
goodly healthy body, tremendous en-
ergy, unflinching ambition and an in
domitable spirit, and yet he stands
today among his fellow men with an
almost unlimited credit and with a
cool quarter of a million dollars Of
assets. How many men in this part
of the country can you pick out that
can lay claim to such results Of their
own energized pluck, push and in
tegrity in one single twelve months?
l have already stated something
about the narrow hair-breath that
divides failure from success. Lavey
had no encouragement when he
formed his magnificent determination
to shoulder his way through to sue
cess against all the odds that might
be imposed against him, Almost any
other young man would have been
discouraged. And they usually are.
Here he was an utter stranger in
large city where there were hun
dreds of competitors engaged in the
same line of business. Lavey, fortu-
nately | say acquired some bitter en-
emies. They proved to be just the
sort of fuel that would separate the
dross and the gold in the crucible.
"Pat" didn't particularly court en-
nifty, but he was and he is today
friends, one of the greatest and most
unrelenting business fighters of a
fighting race | ever knew. That's
why he grew fat on opposition. If
he hadn't had lusty enemies, I'm in
clined to think that Lavey today
would have been an ordinary sort of
hum-drum real estate man making
his stipend a month, but nothing
more.
He simply had to have. like every
other young man that is worth a
whoop in Jericho some good live en-
emies and some powerful opposition.
His business rivals carried matters
to great lengths. They went to the
leading banks and used their ham

fruit, where youth In all its vigor
and fulness of hope could find plen-
teous recompense for honest toll and
where all who sought home could
be assured of steady competence.
'Pat" Lavey had made good.
The Lavey methods are unusual.
If they were not SO, he would not be
able today to stand forth as living
militant example Of the bright, ener-
getlc young man who has won sue
cess. He would not now be able to
rank himself AMONG those who have
broken no opposition and kept his
gaze steadfastly on single purpose,
that of making good and delivering
the goods to the hundreds and thous-
ands of people who have had faith In
him and have entrusted their earn
ings to his keeping.
The youth who is just starting out
in life wondering in which direction
he may turn his ambition and energy
can certainly find healthy inspira-
tion In the success that "Pat" Lavey
has achieved, success that has been
achieved quickly and in apparent
kOntA aulOllOh W Ill NV
accepted business notions. Lavey
has since his arrival in Portland al
ways held out the helping hand to
the man VIII would do the true and
right thing to carve out his fortune.
A better friend than pat" Lavey no
man ever possessed, he is true to the
core. Where he has had busy
horde of knockers" he has never
welded the hammer" himself. His
philosophy which he expresses in
and out of season is that the world
and It's real work is big enough for
us all. Live and let live, is motto
he cherishes and | believe will fight
for to the end of his days.
If what is set down here seems to
smack Of the euloglstic, let everyone
take note that know the man, and,
knowing the man, can say that
Pat" Lavey is entitled to the whole
some respect of bis fellowmen be-
cause he has been engaged for some
little time in the honorable business
Of uplifting Others and he has been
able to do 1t while obstacles that
would BATTLE the less aggressive man
have been piled in his way and
which he has shown keen delight In
surmountlng.
II the world loves a man who is
willing to touch steel with any OBJ
stacle that bars his path to success,
then pat" Lavey has a place in this
big worlds business and he will
blaze the way to financial success for
hundreds Of less courageous men.

Casey, to help hew fortune out of the
boundless west Casey had been a
school teacher, an exponent of read

a brain that worked and an honest
ambition to succeed Lavey said
Casey, these three Rs are all right,
but you and have got three bigger
and better RS out here.
What are they?" asked Casey.

They seemed gifted with prescience

banking houses in the state and in
dicative of the strength and progress

Outside of public buildings, this is
Salem's first really modern business
structure, it having been planned
along most modern lines and pro-
vided with every convenience of the
best buildings of the larger cities Of
the country.
That the modern equipment of this
building was appreciated, is evil
denced by the fact that all of the
fine offices in the four upper stories

they were getting. Not a single one
had ever seen the property which he
had bought.
Casey" said Pat" one morning
Lets show all these people that are
putting faith in us that they re get.
ting a square deal and let them see
it with their own eyes.
"All right" says Casey, "I'm In
favor of that right now."
Just let them go down there to
Mount Hebron, Doris and Worden
and put their own foot on the land
they have bought. That's What we
want to do. Let's make this crowd
| our personal friends as well as our
business partners" So the bargain
was struck.
Lavey sent his agents out to the
various cities where the property had
been sold and requested that they
select reliable representatives to visit
the property at the expense of the
Lavey company and If they reported
that Lavey had in any way misrepre-
sented things to the purchasers he
would forfeit one thousand dollars in
gold, refund the money they had
paid in, and close his doors.
That was just an example Of the
business methods of P. G. Lavey.
The purchasers selected their dele
gates and the party was made up
consisting Of G lionel e. Hofer, editor
and proprietor of the Salem Capital
Journal; G. e. Fox, merchant, of
Albany, Ore; T. r. Shockley, busi-
ness man of Silverton, Ore.; w. w.
Aldredge, business man of Oregon
City, Ore; w. j. Byrne, business
man of Portland, Ore.; George SAL
Ian, newspaperman of Salem, Ore.;
P. G. Lavey Of p. G. Lavey G Co., and
the writer.
A more thorough and faithful in
vestigation could not have been made
than that which was conducted by
the men selected. Every foot of
land which Pat" Lavey G Company
had put on the market and which
had been sold to the people of the
northwest was inspected. We saw
where unmeasured vistas of land
whose rich fertility of soil is almost
beyond conception were being pre-
pared for reclamation. We saw,
where the great Hartman system
was blazing its way into an empire
Of untold wealth of lumber, of agri-
culture, Of livestock and manifold
industries, to which each man, ac-
cording to his own bent might 'irect
his energies. We saw where po-
tential energy running into the hun
dreds of thousands of horsepower
lay untouched in the embarrassed
streams of that fairyland of promise.
We drove through miles of valley
where the land had already been
placed under cultivation, and OBJ
served with what small labor men
were able to wrest an easy livelih hood
out of the soil.
We saw how little towns were
sprlnging up here and there under
the witchery of railroad building
and impetus of the rich productivity
of the soil. Everywhere we went we
were met by happy and thrifty peo-
pie. Every man was satisfied with
his lot; he was optimistic. He had
already been successful in his eff
forts to gain a competence and he
looked ahead to see more wealth
pour into his Golfers as the country
was developed. And the country is
developing today faster than any
other part Of Oregon.
The people there gave the strong
est testimony for p. G. Layey. They
were the ones who. II anybody could

names being sufficient guarantee of
that absolute integrity and upright
honor demanded by people entrust-
ing funds to the care of institutions
of this character.
. The last published statement of
the United States National Bank, of
Salem, as made to the comptroller of
the currency, showed capital stock
of 100000 and total resources of
$954,637.52. 1t has surplus and
profits fund of $40,144.14, circula-
tion of $4,000 and is, in every

room. But it wasn't long before they
had gathered around them group of
more than 20 young men and these
fellows went to work with the same
spirit that imbued Lavey and Casey.
The offices had to be moved, and the
company soon had large roomy quar-
ters on the main floor of the Lumber
mans Building and was doing a
business that put the former knock
ers" to shame.
Lavey did something which / don't
think any other real estate operator
in the country has had the nerve to
do. And, it shows the nature, the
brains and sharp business acumen of
the man, and his faith in the public.
He put up in cold cash one thous-
and dollars-and | saw the money
to prove that he was liar. Not that
exactly, hut he gave the public an
opportunity to Trove he was a liar If
he had told them an. untruth.
The splendid and convincing
methods which Lavey and Casey had
adopted in their business dealings
had borne fruit more lavishly than
they had ever dreamed of. They had
sold in few weeks, lots and acreage
in their holdings to hundreds of peo-
pie from all parts Of the Northwest.
And none of the purchasers had more
than pat" Lavey's word for what

mer" when pat" was trying to
negotiate the loan of a few thousand
dollars on good security. He told me
a year ago with tears in his eyes and
fire in his eye that one crowd went
even so far as to threaten to transfer
its account If certain man endorsed
his paper. 1t was pretty tough for
him, for at that time, he had a
wagon-load of debts hanging over
him something like $4,000. That
didn't scare him. 1t helped to make
him. Because Lavey kas proven that
he will pay his debts.
He had what we like to call manly
pluck. He refused to quit. His ten
acious nerve never wavered and in a
little while he began to be heard
from.
Aside from his buoyancy of spirit
and "never-say-die" persistency, he
worked on the theory that the for
tunes of tomorrow were to be made
out of the foresight of today by
bringing together the 'landless man
and the manless land" He soon re-
moved himself from the early fin
ancial embarrassment and organized
the P. G. Lavey & Co., and began
cabing about for the best place to
bring the vacant land and the prod
active Tenant together That was
less than year ago. Pat" took his
coat off and went to work and day
and night for months, he worked
and toiled to show the envious and
carping rivals thatathey couldn't keep
an honest and industrious young man
down.
He brought another vigorous
young Irishman-I was going to say,

A young man arose and called attention
to Bishop Lawrence's statement that
man had descended through millions OF
years from apes, and declared he ur-

MILAN, Jan. 9.-The opera house at
Bari is temporarily closed today, fol-
lowing a serious riot there last night
at the beginning Of the second act Of

The riot was the elimination of the

the managers to produce any of the

Hundreds in the audience jeered the
copductor and the performers. and final
ly made a rush for the stage. A gen.

girls played a leading part. Members
of the orchestra climbed onto the stage
and Joined in the fight, welding their
instruments against the heads OF the
attacking party.
After the fight had lasted fifteen min

house, but not until it had a cyclone
