The choir of mixed voices sang the most difficult sacred music with ease and wonderful expression, Counod'a Sanctus being especially well rend ered. The Schubert club of women's volcns sang lighter music In a most pleasing manner and made a charm ing picture on tho stago. Ilolh orgunlxutlon are composed of trained voices and all are pupils of Mr. Ilolcher, who directs the uiu ale. Vocal solo were given by Mies Haxel Hurdle. Mr. A. T. Moulton, Mrs. Maude Ilolcher-Prltchard and MIhh Mitbelle Holmes, all of whom are nrtlsts of merit nnd their singing was enthusiastically received by the audience. Mrs. 1,.

Hy 8. C. Morton. I am writing this Irom Portland onlght (Wednesday) Rnd I am thankful to be here. I drove ul rrom Bt. Helens and I would not have attempted the trip unless It was nec essary. All of you who live In this section will recall the downpour, bm to me It soemed like a deluge The pavement was slick and tho rain, which came down In torronts, made driving difficult, tlmt Is, It was dif ficult for mo. However. It muBt not have been to somo drivers, for at that place where the cattle cross the high way at Honeyman, and which Is mua dy and slick, the big grey Portland Astoria bus caino along at a speed of 30 miles or mors. I was drivlnt, 17 miles per hour and ho passed me like 1 was standing still. He didn't nkld, and proliuhly roaclied Portland auraly, for I didn't run across his leinains along the road, but it struck mo quite forcibly that the young hero whoever he i, who Is driving the oua thought more of sneed Ihnn h. did of safety. It seemed that he must Have torgolten tho passengers with whoso siifety he was entrusted, or perhaps he didn't think of the con lequences If the big car had gone In the ditch. Such a thlnn Is nos. slblo for, before reaching Portland, i saw tnreo cars which had left the rosd. Hut what Is tinucrmoHt In mv mini. Is. how many people will bo killed on .no highway tills winter. Bv this T ilon't mean people who will be run over by carelnns drivers. I mean people who will be riding in a cm driven by somo "Smart Alex" who does not huve regard for the life and sr.fety of his passengers, and who thinks thai nil the road belones '.o him. I am mighty glad that we have a "speed cop" In Columbia county, and 1 am glad that in St. Helens the speed and traffic regulations will bo enforced for It seems to me that speed is a secondary consideration. Safety should come first. It would n't bo so bud If a "speed fiend" killed himself, but there is no excuse for his killing cr injuring someone else. To mn It seems a proper time to preach "6afety First" when It comes to auto traffic RED CROSS DRIVE - STARTS NEXT WEEK llrlvo Will Include Two Weeks from November 22nd to December Oth Cauiw is Worthy One and Should lt Heartily and Ubcrally AsHisted. The fourth Ked Cross roll call Is on ror Columbia county. Tho cam paign starts Nov. 22 nnd continues until Dec. 6. Edwand Jones Is local ;lialrman with offices in the Cham ber ot Commerce zooms and Wm. Uussell Is chairman of the county organization. Holh officials are bonding their energies to make the drive In Co lumbia county a super-success. Co lumbia county has never in the past fallen down in its support of this worthy organization and it is with the most sanguine expectations of crowning success that those who ar actively engaging in the work in this county are going forward. At a meeting in the court house Monday evening. Miss Gllfoll, dis trict organizer of the Ked Cross ful ly explained the workings of the or ganization, a county chapter was or ganized. Following a discussion of the advisability of oreanizlne at that time, it was bo decided and the fol lowing officers were elected: Ilev. 8. Durlow Johnsos, chairman; Edw.

Fifty cents of every 1 subscrip tion remains with Columbia county and 80 per cent of all subscriptions over $1 also remains In the treasury of the Columbia county chapter; like wise all donations. The Red cross campaign is one of the really worthy and worth whlln drives and none are so hard up but what a few dimes can be spared to help along a cause that has. done so much for our fighting boys and hu manity in general. Don't wait to be hunted; hunt the solicitor. A campaign for better spelling in the schools of tho county will be launches? about December 1st.

As reasons for Increasing the rates, the company points out that they have had a heavy iHcrenap in opera tion. Inability to earn a fair yield on their Investment nad the heavy de mands for telephones' which cannot be supplied. The increase asked for, it granted, will mean an increase of about $1,200,000 in revenues, which amount will mean a yield of 8 per cent on the Investment. A reclassification of towns is also asked for in tho application. Towns are placed in groups nnd each group has Its own. rate. Under present rates St. Helens is listed in group 4. Under the new rate rjked for It is in group 6. Under present rates telephone patrons hi St. Helens are paying the following prices:. Business 1 party, wall', $2.75; desk, $3 00.

CLASSES FOR NOVEMBER 30 The local Knights of Pythias lodge Is breaking all past records in the way of membership gain. Classes ot six and seven are being Initiated into the mysteries of the order at every meeting night, and now and then a special meeting is thrown in tor good measure. In addition to all the members now going through the ranks and those who have within the past few weeks attained the rank of knighthood, the lodge members are busy gather, ing In applicants for the first rank to be put on in Portland Nov. 30th. This Is to be a red letter day In the innals of Pythianlsm of Oregon. Five hundred applicants will be in itiated in the rank of page, and of this number Avon lodge will send thirty. The Portland meeting will in large measure be one of historic and those who join at this time will have some thing to look back upon in the years io come with pleasure and honor. Fifty-six years ago the order ot Knights of Pythias was founded by Justus H. Rathbone in the City of Washington, D. C. At the meeting in Portland the candidates for initia tion will take the obllgatioa of the rank of page on the Bible used by Mr. Rathbone at the founding of tho order 66 years ago. This historli! Bible will perhaps never come Into the grand domain o fOregon again, at least not for many years to come. Hence it is an opportunity of a life time for the candidate. In addition to all this, the candi date now joining this great patriotic and fraternal organization at this time will receive the lesson of the rank from Supreme Chancellor Wil liam Ladew of New York. The su preme keeper of records and seals, Fred E. Wheaton of Minneapolis will give tho obligation of the rank. HOODLUMS BUSY AT SCAPPOOSE From a reliable correspondent the Mist learns that at the closing meet ing ot the Chautauqua at Scappoose Wednesday evening, the automobile of L. Smith which was directly In front of Watls & Price hall, was bad ly damaged by hoodlums whose only desire, it appeared, was to destroy property. In addition to damaging the car, two tires were punctured, the spot light destroyed and tho col tents of the car damaged or mis placed. It is thought that the dam age wr.s done by some local person or persons, our correspondent stated. and Mr. Smith Is at a loss to under stand why he should have been sin gled out. The Chautauqua officers have ask ed the Scappoose city authorities t investigate the matter and the at tention of county officers has also been called to the matter. About a year ago, so it is stated, similar vi cious acts were committed rnd the good people of Scappoose and vicin ity hope that the culprits will be apprehended. WILL AID IN SALE OF SEALS Ot Oregon's 36 counties, 28 have pledged themselves to aid in the sale of Christmas seals in the effort now being made by the Oregon Tubercu losis association against the most dreadful disease of the ages. Columbia county is one of the 2 k which is aiding in mis very com mendable work of assisting the as sociation by the sale ot Christmas seals.

Circuit court is In session this week with Judge Eakln on the bench. The court's time was largely taken up the first of the week in hearing applications for naturalization pa pers. Many asked but not so many were chosen. Out of about thirty applications for United States cit izenship thirteen were granted. To some of the applicants the judge ad vised tnat they take more time and study up on the laws and usages of this country. Aside from civil coses the court re ceived the report of tho grand Jury, . which report deals altogether wttt. court house conditions. No indict ments were returned. The rennrt follows: Tho grand Jury recommended that the county jail be made more secure by putting shutteraon out side of windows of the jail find fenc ing the outside and such other im provements that the court' may see fit. Also that the outside of the cells be given a coat of paint nnd the walls kalsomlned. It w.-s also recommended that pris oners be confined whenever possible in tne Multnomah county jail ana that it be paid for by this county. It was also deemed necessary by the grand Jury that the city jail be thor oughly cleaned and painted, as they round mat it was in an unsanitary condition. The jury also recommended that the county court put the deputy sher- ui under bonds, as in the case of the sheriff, the premium to be paid by the county. Recommendation was made that the county road master be dismissed as soon as possible, nnd that no pro vision do mr.ae in next year a budget for same. Th same recommendatiou applied to the office of countr agri cultural agent. While the grand jury was in the head choDDlnr business. ' they invaded the fruit induatry and aauea a recommendation that tho county fruit inspector's services bo dispensed with and that no provision De made in next year a salary budget for his pay. . .
