Senator J. N. Burgess received word
this morning that the convention of
Oregon Wool Growers which was to
be held in Heppner on the 8th and
9th of December, has been held over
one week in order to avoid a conflict
with the Stock Show in Portland.
The new dates for the Heppner con

There are a number of important
matters to be considered by the sheep

Among them are the matter of secur

under the (540 acre homestead law
which is a possibility of the near fu

The Names of God in the Creation
Narratives Explained by Writer.
La Grande, Nov. 21. (To the Edi
tor) In a recent lecture, a synopsis
of which appeared in the Observer,
the statement was made that the prac
tice was erroneous, of confusing the
term God (Elohim) with that of Lord
God (Jehovah-Elohim), in the book of
Genesis, and that these terms are not
synonymous.
Now that the traditional view is,
that they refer to one and the same
lieing, each rsvealing or denoting
some special characteristic of that one
Being. This is the view of that na
tion, through whom that book wad
produced, and for whose learning it
was primarily written. What is the
verdict of the Jews? Turn to the
eighteenth Psalm and the thirty-first
verse, where we read, "Who Is God
(Eloah) save Jehovah." (Am. R. V.)
Eioah is the singular form of Elohim.'
The use of names in the Old Testa
ment is most significant. Among the
orientals, names were not given in the
haphazard, arbitrary fashion pre
alcnt amongst ourselves, but were
descriptive of the character of the per
son named, or of something in con
nection with him. Adam (the earth
man) was so named because he was
formed of the dust of the ground, ns
far as his outward manifestation was
concerned; Eve meaning life, because
she was the mother of all living, and
so on. Sometimes names were given
to record certain events at the time
of birth. Thus the genealogies in the

But as one of the special, peculiar

If the Jew found no difficulty nor
