Marcus Whitman Anniversary It may be interesting for church readers to know that eighty years ago tomorrow the first white woman looked upon the Grande Ronde valley. She was Narcissa Whitman end was on her way to the Nez Perce Indians. Her journal for that day is interest ing, especially when compared with travel of the present day. Mrs. Whitman was a young woman of commanding appearance; noble in deportment, cultured and refined. She had been reared in comfort, college trained and moved in the best of so ciety. She had a wonderful soprano voice of great volume and sweetness and often around the camp fire her voice rang out to the joy and en couragement of the weary travelers. On the evening of their departure for Oregon she became the bride of Dr Marcus Whitman. At the close of the ceremony the pastor gave out missionary hymn. The audience and choir were completely overcome with emotion and the last stanza was sung by Mrs. Whitman alone, her superb voice unwavering to the end. It was the last time she was per mitted to sing in her native state. The scene was impressive and the words of the hymn appropriate: "Yes, my native land, I love thee All thy scenes, I love them well. Friends, connections, happy country, Now I bid you all farewell." On September let Dr. and Mrs. Whitman arrived at Fort Walla Walla and for eleven years Narcissa Whit man was the life and cheer of this inter-mountain region. And then at the hands of misguided -and brutal men she climbed the high steeps to the kingdom of God to receive a mar tyr's crown. Every woman "in this beautiful val ley should be grateful to this noble woman the first to cross the con tinent in order to give the Indian women the gospel of Jesus Christ. Special hymns and reference to this noble woman's life will be touched upon by Rev. Chas. A. Edwards in his morning senhon. CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

This is the first permit issued for a lurge band of animals, and is apparently the result of the re cent study made bv the Forest Ser vice to develop areas suitable for dif- war, so the consignee must go hungry. One of the tricks revealed by the museum is the nickel smuggling trick. Nickel is cut into thin strips, which are slipped into the corrugations of the sort of paper used for wrapping medicine bottles. An innocent picture is placed between two layers of this loaded paper and the whole labeled "Work of Art 'With Care." .
