MAN IS DEAD
BEGAN CAREER AS OFFICE BOY.
Heart Failure Is Cause of Death of
Man Who Helped Make Canada a
Great Wheat Growing Country.

Portland, Ore. June 1S.-William
Harder, general agent of the Great
Northern railroad and one of the best
known railroad men in the United
States died here today of heart failure
at the age of 20.
Harder was personal friend of the
late Lord Strathcona, James J. Hill
and other leading railroad men of the
country. He was the only Portland
man invited to the banquet given in
st. Paul two years ago by J. j. Hill
on the occasion of his 74th birthday.
His railroad career was begun as an
office boy on the Grand Trunk. La
ter he went to the Canadian Pacific
and aided in the building of its trans
continental line. He was made general
freight agent of the road, and to him
was probably due Canada s greatness
as hard wheat growing country.
Harder became general agent of the
Great Northern in Portland 20 years
ago.

VAUDEVILLE IN THE PULPIT.

PTSHE Reverend Doctor Robert Hugh Morris is by no
means alone in his attitude in deprecatng the resort
to sensational methods to enlarge the congregation
He lodges his emphatic protest against sacred vaud-
eve which sezes upon eignng fads and foies as the
pretext for sermons and delivers from the pulpit poti-
cal harangues economic dissertations humorous mono
logues-anything and everything in fact but the direct
and simple message of the pastor OF the flock IN quest OF
the green fields and the mpd brooks of spiritual susie
nance.
Some cergymen believe that in order to succeed they
must stoop to the ad captandum devices of secular en-
tertainment.
pastor in Liverpool some time ago illustrated the
meaning of putting the whole armor of faith by don
ming in the pulpit the several parts of suit of ancient
mail.
1t must make the judcous greve to behold the func-
ton Of the pulpit thus misdrected to the end of entering
into competition with the movies the modern dances and
the magazines and newspapers that live by the muck
rake
AS public opinion ultimately sits and rejects the baser
element in literature the DRAMA it must in the long
repudiae the sort of preaching that turns religion to
burlesque and opera bouffe and the preacher to rival
of the end man at a minstrel show.

OREGON PIONEERS HOLD
MEETING In PORTLAND
Throngs Of Men and Women Who
Crossed the Plains With Ok Teams
and Who Fought Indians Gather.

Portland, June lS.-Young hearts and
young deeds are triumphant today.
Though the hair is white and the steps
falter, the fathers and mothers of the
northwest are assembled in their an
nual reunion here today.
When they meet today it was not of
the tariff, the Panama canal, the war
torubles of Mexico that they spoke-it
was of the triumph over the great
plains, the OK teams, the stormy waves
that tossed their ships around Cape
Horn.
The forty second annual reunion of
the Oregon Pioneer association did not
officially begin until 1880 this after
noon but throughout the morning the
association did not officially begin un-
til 1880 this afternoon but throughout
the morning the association headquar-
ters of the historical society were
thronged.
Three secretaries were busy register
ing the names of new arrivals and it
is believed fully 900 will be enrolled
before the close of the session.

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

m OR the benefit of those earnest souls the uplifters
and students of sociology, who hold to the theory
that the United States has fallen upon evil times and
that things were better done in the good old days.
the Board of Trade of Hartford Conn., has unearthed
from the files of The Courant of that city the following
paragraph which appeared September II, 1854:
-Four lrishmen died yesterday of cholera in tenement
house Morgan street near the bridge 1t found
during the day that in the closet the first floor under
the stairs of the tenants keeping with her
litter of pigs The authorities, think should see to
this"
That not quite 60 years ago. about the time per-
haps when New York seriously exercised the
question whether pigs should be allowed to roam its
streets at their own sweet will.
The Bulletin of the Board of Trade adds this pertinent
comment the tragedy of Morgan street:
