The letter continues:
".Vow. if llioai' inlerented in the ef

the aatiafaction of the American people
that Ohrlat did that which wan wrong,
that Christ permitted a ain, and that

I'OltTLANlJ, Or., Feb. 2.". The Ore
u .National guard is very active in
its efforts to obtain a suitable and per
manent rifle range near thia city, lie
.tides being immediately available for
the use of mix companies, including
those stationed at Vancouver, Wash.,
the range would attract any Ciiited
Slates cruistTH and other naval vessels
tu this port, since this practice is re
quired ol the navy aa well. The mat

possible endorsement has gone forward
from tlu Portland Commercial club and
other organizations of Fort land.

aroiiRcd by the speeches of both visi

emphasizing the necessity for wide

contemplates nn immediate campaign
as a result.
Washington's birthday had twice its
usual interest and significance in Port
land this year on account of thia he

"roso planting" day. Archbishop
Christie participated in the exercises
in connection with planting the thou
sand of rosea which were borne to the
parka by the school children. Vigorous
2 year old bushes wero aet out, which
will bloom generously by the first of
June, for the rose festival. A distine
five feature of the grand parade plan

RAILROAD PROPRIETORSHIP
WILL NOW BE TESTED
First of t he government 's active
slops toward breaking the land grip of
tho Soul hern I 'nc i f ic in ( rcgon is
marked by the Fulton resolution, which
appeared hi the senate last Tuesday,
directing the department of justice to
begin court proceedings to enforce the
rights of the United States. The rail
road for nearly 40 years has ignored
important terms of the Oregon Jt Cnl
i forum land grants, that favored the
public; namely, that tho lands should
be sold at a price not exceeding $2.fi0
an acre, only to actual settlers and
in tracts of not more than ItiO ncres
to each purchaser. These suits will
involve close Io :,IHI0,000 acres, held
by the railroad and by persons who
have bought from the raitroad in vio
lalion of the terms nf tho grant.
The resolution also direcls tho depart
ment of justice to start suits to en
force Hie rights of the I'nited States
as to t he wit goo road grant between
t'oos Hay and Koseburg, where O'J.OiMi

Host on. According to the terms of this
gtaut, made in ISiiH, the lands were to
be sold for not more than $-.30 an
acre and iu tracts of not more I h:in
Hio; acres to each purchaser,
Hoth tho Southern Pacific and the
Southern Oregon companies refuse now
to Hell the lauds nt '.'..'ot tin acre, and
the railroad refuses to sell at nnv price.
Hot h companies have sold large areas
in bulk, ignoring the ltio acre limit, and
at pri.es frequently much in excess of
F-'.."it an s.re. The. railroad hss made
such in bs to otherse than uctu;tl set

Monday eveuing, which was very well
nlteuded aud highly epoken uf.
The Bible nchui'1 is still on the iu

beginning lu realize the importance and
value of the Hible school.
The church enjoya unusual prosper
ity. Large audiences usually are in
attendance and much intercut ia being
manifested. Never in its history have
the prospects been mi favorable for it
great work us now. One of the aims:
" A new church building by Septem
ber, Hum," is almost aure to be real
ized. At Christian Church Sunday.
A large and appreciut ive nudience
was in attendance Sunday morning.
The minister spoke on the subject.
"The Newness of Christianity."
The sermon in part was ns follows:
' 'Christ in nit y is an original relig
ion. It was not handed down by tra-
dit ion. 1 1 was not the uotgrowth of
human philosophy or reason; il was
not compiled from preceding religions
but it was new.
"Wo are assured that the facts of
history fully justify the following con
clusions: (1) Christianity is the only
religion thua far developed in the world
that ia udapted to all mankind, to
every individual, race or nation. (2)
It ia the only regilion that promisee the
forgiveness of sin. (3) Tt ia new nr
original in promising eternal life. (-1)
Christianity ia new in teaching the
fatherhood of find and brotherhood of
man. (ft) It is new in that it is posi
tive, (ft) Christianity is original in
that it is missionary.
Methodist Episcopal Church, B Street.
The revival meetings under the lead
ership of Rev. Van Marter and Pro
fesaor Oray received a new imjM'tus
last night. The theme of tho preacher's
sermon was "Running the Hlockade. "
In hia opening remarks he called at
tention to the sermon on hell delivered
the previous night and said: "It is not
God 'h wish that any should periHh.
Strictly speaking, it is unit the govern
ment, but the criminal that builds the
penitentiary. So it ia not (lod but the
sinner who makes hell. Hut find has
put blocks in tho sinner's way to keep
him if possible out of hell. Among
these are the Bible, a mother's prayers,
a ( .'hrist inn home a nd ot hers. A fter
the appeal several presented themselves
as seek era of salvation. While thou
sand of pamphlets are being sent over
the country advertising the advantages,
of this cvallcy, whnt n grand thing it 1
would be if we could advertise Med !
ford without a saloon, und how real
estate would go up if every citizen
walked in the footsteps of .leans. "
