Consulted Town Clerk.
Cotton Mather used to say
There was a gentleman mention-
ed in the 19th chapter of Acts,
to whom he was more deeply in-
debted than almost any other
v4" town clerk of Ephesus ' whose -
counsel wes to do nothing rash- fr
ly. Upon any proposal of conae- 4
quence it was usual for "him to
say, "Let us first consult with
the town clerk of Ephesus."
What mischief, trouble and sor-
row would be avoided , In the $
world were the .people more In
the habit of consulting this gen- 4
tleman.

With, each succeeding county Sun
day school convention added Interest
Is manifest. The session ' Just closed
.In this city was pronounced by all the
.-Tbest held Vet. The program was
most Interesting throughout and the
. general awakening! throughout the
country toward Bible schools Is notice
able in a marked degree in this coun
ty. The present Sunday school has a
place for every living person. In the
wide-awake school within a week af
,ter the announcement of a birth, the
-superintendent of the cradle roll calls
to enroll the little one and to keep in
touch with that child and family until
It reaches the age where It can Join
the school proper. Classes with ex
perienced teachers cover the various
ages until for reasons of Illness or old
age It Is Inconvenient for them to at
tend the regular session, the home de
partment superintendent takes them
In charge, supplies them with the lit
erature of the school, and thus they
are able to keep up with the regular
Bible study and continue in sympathy
with the work. The modern Bible
'school has a place for every one and
this accounts for an enrollment In the
. Sunday schools of the land quite equal
to the membership of the churches.
The JaM few years there Was been ex
, tra effort toward attracting young
and middle aged men and the success
that some schools make . In what is
known as the adult movement' Is sur
prising. The Sunday school has pro
gressed so quietly and Its' field of use
fulness has so broadened" within the
pMt few years that its- growth is a
revelation to thoso who have given It
little thought. Union county Is keep
ing abreast with the times in this as
well as along other lines, and the in
ierest manifest shown at the conven
tion Just closed gives great promise
- (or the future.

BE SETTLED AT ONCE.
An Hour Spent in the Round House by
-. Brazil Jury Today Attorneys Pre
sent Arguments During the After
; ( noon To Jury Late Today De
fense Holds Injuries Not Due to
Negligence on Their Part Engine
Was Being Repaired.
When the Jury to have the case in
the Ezra Brasel suit against the O.
R, &, N, company this evening, the
times is nearing when the plaintiff will
know the outcome of , his suit for $25,-000-
damages,'. ,. The .entire, afternoon
was spent In "presenting arguments to
the Jury, after the defense had intro
duced all of its testimony this morn
ing. ."' " '.-.' '. ' v V'
Jury Visits Round Honse,
The Brasel Jury was taken to the
round house this morning, where the
members were given lessons in loco
motive repairing. This action followed
a motion by the defense, ' and in
charge of the bailiff the Jury visited
the round house where an hour was
spent In caref,ul study of conditions
that have to do with the Brasel case.
The plaintiff fell from an engine while
at work In the round house, about two
years ago. His fall, . he Bays, was oc
casioned by. a faulty handrail. The
point that has been brought up by the
defense Is that the locomotive was in
the round house.' for repairs and that
the men:work(lnjpr on it should have
exercised more care. Had the engine
been put of the shop and declared in
working order, then, the company ad
mits, It might have been held respon
sible. Attorney Spencer has centered
practically all his arguments on thjs
line of reasoning.
The case was given to the Jury
about 4 o'clock.
ANOTHER LIQUOR CASE.

ing Bad Fluid Away.
M.
M. Vandermuellen was arraigned In
Justice court today on charge of selling
and giving "liquor away, all contrary
to the precepts of the local option
law. On a bond of $500 he was re
leased to appear again on November
S, before Justice Stewart, to be tried.
There are other cases of a similar
nature, which nave not yet been
brought to a focus.

Three hundred thousand acres of
Southern Oregon territory, which
have for the past half century been
sealed from development with the
stamp "Land Grant," are to be opened
at once to 'settlement. Suddenly re
versing the obstructive policy which
has characterised these lands, the Ore
gon Valley Land company, the . pur
chasers, announce that the entire acre
age is to be developed and sold on
terms that are alike attractive to the
speculator and the homeseeker.
This tract constitutes the bulk of the
tillable acreage of the great Oregon
Central Military Rroad grant, which

was made in 1864 by the United States
government to the company of that
name for constructing a, military high
way. '
Prom the day of the grant until to
day nothing has been done to ehcour-
ecter upon the enjoyment of the em
pire with another doctrine, which they
will steadily pursue. They will im
mediately proceed to settle and de
velop the country. . . .
The part of the grant placed on the
market, begins where the line of the
grant leaves the Klaamth Indian res
ervation on the east. From the reser
vation the grant lands extend In an ir
regular line down to Lakevlew,, and
thence eastward to the western bound
ary of Malheur county, Oregon. The
tracts secured lie in Klamath, Lake
and Hartley counties. From Klamath
reservation to Lakevlew fhe strip Is
over a splendid agricultural and graz
ing country. ..Sprague River valley,
Drew's valley and the north' end. of
Goose Lake valley are crossed, where
there Is a large quantity of fine agri
cultural land,; which has been leased
to settlers for many years, lout never
put on the market. '' From ; Goose
Lake valley the route crosses Into
Warner valley, where there is more
good land, and thence '. is passes
through the southern portion of Har
ney country, crossing the headwaters
of the Donner and Blizen river,
passing through the wonderful Catlaw
valley the finest valley in the state
where there are leagues of fine level
land, commonly called the "cow man's
paradise."
The southern part of the state is
now assured a liberal policy of de
velopment that will be in strong con
trast with the obstructive tendencies
of the great land-grant holdings of the
state in the past. ' "
