fullneBsof his mental powers, being 87
years of age. Mr. Atkins is ft Canadian
by birth, having been born in Brant
county, Ontario, in 1864. As a boy he
toiled on his father's farm, hut that did
not prevent him from acquiring a good
common school education. Being am
bitious, he established a general mer
chandise store in the city of Brantford,
Ont., but the varied and broadening
influences which sur ounded him here
opened to his view a field of usefulness
more to his liking. He disposed of his
business and entered the Methodist min
istry. He was assigned work in the
mission, field of the great Northwest ter
ritory, ' Having spent there four labori
ous years, be came to the United States.
The next five years were spent by Mr.

ferred to the Oregon conference, he en
tered the Porlland University, pursu
ing its course while stationed at Hills
boro. In 1899 he graduated from the
Montana Wesleyan university, being ac
corded the degree for completing the
lull classical course. In September, that
same year, he was appointed by Bishop
Vincent to the church in Oregon City.
On Sunday, his work here will cease.
Having been transferred to the Indiana
conference, he will on Monday go East
ward to beco.ne pastor of the church at
Brooklyn in that state. At the begin
ning of his ministry, Mr. Atkins recog
nized that an understanding of the bible
made a study of history imperative. The
result of the years of assiduous toil thus
imposed has been lectures of great in
terest which have been delivered before
large audiences in this and other cities.
It Is no little thing to sav of a clergy
man that at every point where be has
ministered bis departure has been re
gretted. But this can be truly said of
Mr. Atkins. If ever he returns to the
Coast, a host of loyal friend will hid
him wtlcome. ,
. Two Camp Meeting (Joem.
Sunday evening two young men, who
were coarsi ly dressed, appeared at 8. J,
Vaughan's livery stable and asked for a
bed. They said they had trained dur
ing the dav from a noint in Linn county
on the other side of Salem and were on
the way to Puilland to aitend camp
meeting. Each csrriod a bible and tracts
in his small bundle. Ktony felt pity for
the two weary country boys on a gospel
mission bent, but as he keeps spare beds
lor horses only, he turned them over for
"further instruction." as the Grand
Snark says in the Arabian Knights lodge
lo OHicer Jim Shaw, who told them
that the brethren of their faith here who
might "deadhead" them were carce,
but he would give them a free bed in jail.
They inspected this ahodeof wickedness,
spoke to Shaw of Apostles Paul and hi
las being imprisoned he reverently
having tipped his cap and let, his ci
gar go out asked whether there were
any "kritteis" in the blankets, shud
dered at the thought of sending the
night in such a den of bolted and barred
naughtiness without letting "de folks"
know It, found they could raintj lie four
bits to lake them to their sister on 4ih

Fl'ter ami Alum.
Ms. Editok: Is the ommbsion go
ing to buy the filter that will cost $20,.
000 and tak- two men to run it besides
the filter material, which will alwavs he
required? The Royal Baking Powder
man defies any one to find the least trace
of alum in that article. Now what's the
difference when we filter the Water we
use with alum? We are given to under
stand that several hundred cities have
t iose filters. But they are very doubt
ful contrivances.- If the supply pipe for
the pump had been run outside of the
basin, there would not have been such
a clamour for filters.
Now, Mr. Editor, you and the rest oi
the Oregon City folks just leave that fil
ter alone, and run the supply pipe for
the pump to the middle of the river, or
tnke the city lot i n the corner of Wain
and Third streets and s nk a well i'Uor
30 fret in diameter, or go down to tht
Clackamas bottom near the river and
sink a well in the gravel. Take jhe wheel
and power that run the pump now to
run electric power to pump the water
from there; also to light the city, The
