A joint commission is tracing an arbitrary boundary line between states for ratification by lat tires. It is expected disputed question will be last. With President Htirlbert in New- York, vice president A. T. Boldon in Marshficld and secretary and treasurer Cook in Idaho, the Port laud and St. Johns Annexation club is shot pretty well to pieces. Having gotten what they believed to be sweet revenge, there was nothing to keep them longer in St. Johns. But while the "package" may be signed and scaled, it has not been delivered yet. I , The IHII system of railroads has expended during the past four years in Oregon and Washington no less than 80,000,000 according to compilations just made, in exten sious, betterments, acquisitions of holdings and equipment, exclusive of fixed charges and operating ex penscs. The North Dank rond alone cost nearly -153,000,000 and 27,ooo,ooo was spent 011 Hill properties in this state, over half during the past year. Construe tion work mapped out for proper tics in uregou in ion involves the expenditure of 15,000,000. Con pled with the big expenditures the Ilarriman system Is making in building new lines and extensions nud the effort both big railroads arc putting into exploitation work to advertise the tdnte, Oregon hits great asset in its railroads. To Place Guardrail Acting upon the suggestion of the Hull road Commission, the oft! . cinls of the Portland Railway Light & Power Company liuve decided to install n substantial guardrail along the dangerous edge of a cliff sup porting the St. Johns electric line, nud also reduce the speed while passing around curves nt that point Noting n news article in the hvcu ing Tciegtnm to the effect that St. Johns patrons of the electric line were in fear of being dashed to the bottom of n large cut, the coiiiiuis siou directed its engineer, li.

Rogers 309 No. Jersey. the Holy plained. The Iforty Hours' Prayer of Adoration, or as it is more com inonly known, the "Forty Hours" is thus called, because during forty eight hours the Blessed Sacrament is conspicuously exposed on the altar in Catholic churches in order that the faithful may come and pray before it and adore it. After a solemn mass and sometimes when circumstances permit, a procession, the Blessed Sacrament is enshrined nud enthroned above the altar, and around it is disposed n firmament, as it were, of countless lights, radiating from it, symbolical of the ever wakeful host of heaven, the spirits of restless life and unfading brightness that keep watch around the scat of glory above; and then the faithful gather about the altar as about n throne, nud ndore their God in silence nud nwe. The object of this devotion of the Forty Hours ndorntiou of the lllcsscd Sacrament is to offer a solemn act of reparation to our Divine Lord for the neglect and abandonment to which His sacred humanity was exposed from the moment of His death 011 the cross to the hour of His triumphant res urrectlou. uy it we nlso propose to offer to God some reparation for the sins of bad Christians in gen ernl, and in particular for the heartless neglect of which so many disloyal Catholics arc guilty towards our Savior, who dwells with us in the Messed Sacrament; also to atone for profanations of the Holy Mys teries by bad Catholics, nud for the insults to which our Lord is ex posed at the hands of heretics who refuse to believe in the Real Presence. This devotion is said to have the following origin: In the year A. I. 15.17, the city of Milan, Italy, was desolated by n plague. A siml lar epidemic bad twelve years pre viously destroyed one hundred and twenty thousand of its in habitants. It was nlso torn by 'civil discord, and oppressed by a foreign foe, whose legion surrounded it nud threatened to besiege it. 1 here was nt that time preaching the customary Lenten Instructions in the famed cathedral of Milan a Capuchin friar, cuuallv distill gulshed for his holiness of life nud solid learning, Father Joseph di Fero. Hut what harvest could he expeet'to gather Into the celestial granary from n city threatened by l lie invasion 01 n Hostile nrmyr lie commenced his course of sermons, and his auditory increasing each day, he was nil at once enlightened by it ray of divine light. He sun gestcd to the citizens the sublime devotion of the public ndorntiou of our Lord JeMts Christ in the adorn ble Sacrament of the Iiucharist, its a propitiatory offering to avert the dreadful scourge which was about to fall tiiKNi the city. The people gladly consented nud hastened to begin the exposition of the ndora- ble sacrament 011 Palm Sunday, 1 lie noiy hacrninent was exposed, nud not only did the Cardinal Arch bishop, with the entire clergy, both secular and regular, assist at the preparatory procession, but like wise the senators of the city, nil wearing sackcloth ns nit emblem of penance. The fervent faith nud prayers of the Milanese obtained through this means the removal of their enemies. The enemies ngreed upon it truce nud the besieging nruiy departed, Later 011 the devotion wns nlso introduced from time to time in different cities ns nu offset against the excesses of the Carnival, and as 11 repartition to our Lord for the scandalous conduct of those who indulged in the license which the occurrence of the Carnival brought about. One bishop after another adopted the devotion for his dio cese until it became nu almost mil verstu practice, rue popes gave the devotion the seal of their ap proval nud ns n result, the devotion was spread throughout the Cntholic world. It had been the instrument in the hand of God of saving tin told numbers of souls, l be devotion to be betitttt next baptist Sunday will be the first in the city ...... I C t.

No other one thing could possibly have created the comment nnd general interest as well ns have started the movement of various lines of business ns did the Sweet Pea Show held July 14, 1910, at The North Hank Pharmacy, St. Johns, Oregon. Mr. C. C. Ctirrin, proprietor of the nbove Pharmacy, early last spring, informed his many patrons that he had secured a quantity of sweet pea seeds from a large perfume man ufacturer, which he would give away, stating that all who cared to do so could enter d contest for which prizes would be given those successful in growing the largest and finest specimens from these seeds. We should have said it created various kinds of comment, first, from the ladies (Grandmas to little misses) of pleasure, nnd mutterings on the simple life, from those men who were induced to work the old family spade overtime, as the wife or sweetheart would say "We want to have the biggest and best Sweet Pea garden in St. Johns." Then it was one of the best advertising stunts ever pulled off in this little burg; it created business for the hardware man, by those who needed n new hoe or srtadc! the drviioods man outsold his supply of overalls and stinbonnets the butcher wondered why people had such Inure armetitcs for his best steuks: even the moving picture man stated his business was better all on account of n Sweet Pea Show. On the day called for the exhibition of the blooms, the following gen tlemen were announced ns nidges.: J. I'. Hendricks, Mayor; l, P Drinker, Cashier First Nntionnl Bank; A. W. Mnrklc, Editor St. Johns Review. These gentlemen nwarded prizes to the successful contestants which prizes consisted of perfume and other merchandise as well as cash During the" day soda water and ice cream was served free and the store was crowded from early morning until late in the evening; the sue cess of this first show was so pronounced that Mr. Ctirrin has announced that he will hold another in 1911 and which he hopes will be better than the first otic. Mr. Ctirrin is what might be called progressive.
