Rev. Mil dps also took occasion to
denounce the prudery which prevents
parents from instructing their off
spring In tho mysteries of self-reproduction
and forces them to learn of
fuich things from vulgar associates In
back alleys, lie strongly urged the
introduction of courses In embryology
in the course of study outlined for a
child, declaring It would do moro than
any one thing to offset the Influences
of depredation and to conserve the pu
rlty of the nation's youth.
The retiring pastor took for his sub
Ject, "Expansion vs. Suppression'', and
Ills dissertations on billiards and prud
?ry were hut small parU of an elu
qucnt sermon IlliistratHig his funda
mental contention that "all sin, all
and all crime are but some form of
suppression."
liev. Mllnes announced for tho sec
ond time yesterday liia resignation an
a congregational meeting will bo bald
tonight to consider it.
vlllan life responded to tbe appeals
for help in bulldlug this great mem
orlal, but the women -of the United
States army and navy have been or
ganlzed to work as units iu contri
buting money and arousing further
Interest in this plan of American wo
men to honor the courage and nobll
Ity of men.
- The movement known as the Wo
man's "Titanic" .Memorial was Inaug
urated during the last week of April
when Mrs. John Hays Hammond, fa
nious for her philanthropic work,
yielding to the suggestions of womon
from all parts of the country, con
itented to form the organization and
to do everything In her power to help
It to speedy success.
Through her, Mrs. John Hay, wid
ow of the late secretary of state, was
persuaded to accept the chairmanship.
Mrs. Hammond became secretary of
the organization, and to the fund Mrs.
Taf. the wife of the president, con
tributed the first dollar. Tbe influ
ence and executive abllty of these wo
men, with whom are associated more
than one hundred of tbe most prom
inent women of the country, are sup
plemented by the financial and legal
ability and advice of such men as Ed
ward J. Stellwagen, chairman of the
last presidential Inaugural commit
tee, and George X. McLanahan, a
leading attorney of the national capital.
Ever since the movement was In-1
augurated, contributions have' been
coming Into the central offices in
Washington at the rate of $300 or
more a day. Some'of It has been given
in sums ranging as high as $5,000,
while most of it his been In the shape
of $100 contributions from women and
young girls who wrote that they were
only sorry that they could not give
more. And In the end, It Is expected,
this memorial will be built principal
ly by ths smaller contribution, so that
hen the arch Is outlined against the
sky, It will have been erected by the
representative womankind of America
ngman should see.

Nover before In tho history of the
United States have the women of this
country built up such a tremendous
movement as Is the case with the
present undertaking of tho Woman's
""Titanic" memorial to erect in Wash
tagton towering arch or majestic

Care up their lives on the Titanic to
save the women and children. Prac
tically every one of the 28,000 wo

America has already pledged contri
butions and co-operation to this cause
Interest In It baa been aroused from
Hew Tor to Hawaii, from the Great

Julius Roesch has sold the La
rando brick yards to Mr. Towery,
formerly of Weston, Oregon. The pur-
hase price was $10,000 and Mr. Tow
ery Is now operating the plant with
ho usual force of 30 men.
This year's output will be about
le same aa usual, namely, $2,000,000
brick. Mr. Towery is well acquainted
with this business' having been en-
aged in It at Weston.
He says that the clay at the local
plant Is the finest In the northwest
for the manufacture of bricks.
If' Grnnde brick have always been
known as the very best that is made
In this section of the state. The local
yards have sent many large shipments
to other places, but the present lo
cal market uses the entire output and
Is occasionally obliged to ship In large
orders. Mr. Towery Is a very capatile
Homager of this business and expects
nn excellent season's run this year.
History In Pictures.
On the battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa.,
Nov. 19, 1863. Abraham Lincoln dedi
cated the ground upou which was
fought July 1st, 2nd and 3rd the
bloodiest conflict and deciding battle
of the civil war. In this day and gen
eration we can scarcely appreciate
what the heroic deeds and sacrifices
of the past have accomplished for the
preservation of the United States, and
the establishment of the freedom and
Independence we now enjoy. The
glorious Vltagraph film, "Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address," shown at the.
Elite tonight follows history In min
utest details and features Ralph Incc
In his greatest character, Abraham
Lincoln. The picture is clear and viv
id and will breathe Into the hearts ot
the people the patriotism that will
live forever. Elite theatre, Wednes
day and Thursday.

Several small farms, 80 acres,
SO acres, 40 acres, near La
Grande, well Improved. Priced
right and on most of them lib- '
eral terms can be obtained.
FBUIT FARMS.
I have several choice ten
acres or larger fruit farms In
this vicinity. The trees are
loaded with fruit. You can go
out and count the boxes of com
mercial apples that each place
will produce. In some Instanc
es this season's crop will pay
for nearly one-half of tb.e pur
chase price.
SUBURBAN BOXES.
I have a number of pretty
n ear-In homes that are priced
right. In fact, are real Invest
ments. La Grande U growing.
These small tracts are Increas
ing In value much faster than
you possibly realize. '
Stock Ranches
With the cheap range rapidly becoming a
thing of the past never will be see cheap cat
tle again in the United States. Our popula
tion is increasing much faster than beef can
be grown. I have several opportunities that
that just a few years hence will be looked
upon as wonders. I have three of the best
stock ranges in Union county. If you are a
cattleman and live in the county you will
know them well. Come and let me tell you
where they are. Very little cash required,
put the balance of your money in stock. The
increase of a calf to a beef steer on such
ranges as I offer you will make common le
gal interest look anything but tempting.

Judge Humphrey of the police court
yesterday found Mrs. R. Johnson guil

the complaining witness and the city.
The trouble took the form of a fist

Kri m one to three and somet'tues
live arrests are made daily this week
In no campaign to regulate traffic
Kii.oi, the automobiles. A day or two

AotiiiA Chief of Police Walden this

I ropean wool lu India threatens the cx
I Unction of what remains of the shawl
i Industry lu that country, and It Is Im
possible for It to regain Its lost posi
tion. In ftiet. It Is only a matter of
time when a fine Kashmir shawl will
be a curiosity; also the Indians, with
the advance of European civilization,
seem to be losing the art of shawl
mnktn?, just ns American Indians are
forgetting how to weave baskets'.
Dealing with the present dny Kash
mir, one notices how, with the arts
and the trade which Kashmir had in
olden days, the businesslike and com
mercial qualities of the people have
also deteriorated. Kashmir state once
had a shawl trade of $1,000,000 a year.

Her Boarders Live In Hope.
A woman who for twelve years has
conducted a boarding house lu Chica
go and who takes pride iu telling that
"lKiarders usually stay until they get
married and then send some one to
till the place made vacant by matri
mony," anticipated possible complaints
because of smaller portions of meat
fcy placing a neatly wrliten notice lu
the dining room which stated that the
price of beef, mutton and real had ad
vnnced to figures which had not pre
vailed since the civil war and that
"everything is blh in proportion.
There has never been any complaint
among my iMiimlers, nnd I hope there
will be none. I nm doing the best 1
can, nml complaint will do no gonl.
So please lie patient. There's a good
time coming, and I want you here
wlu-n it comes." The hoarders nre
Inking the reduced rntlniisnnd are
"waiting," one of them says, "with
shortened belts for tbe 'good time.'"
Remnants of Portuguese Empire.
The auniHinremeut that Portugal Is
to be linked up by "wireless" with "nil
the Portuguese colonlt-a" is a reminder
of the vanished greatness of what was
once the lending colonizing empire In
the world.
From Lisbon in the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries went out mariners
through the unknown and uncharted
oceans to Africa, India and the new
world to the west and planted the Hag
of Portugal lu every comer of the
globe. Put In Africa alone has Portu
gal maintained Its hold of colonies of
any magnitude. In India are little bits
of Portuguese territory. Nova Goa,
southeast of Bombay, being the capi
tal of all Portugal's colonies east of the
Cape of Good Hope, while as far east
as China the Island of Macao, In the
Canton river, first colonized nearly 400
years ago, still owns the sovereignty of
the government at Lisbon.
