he reached the little parsonage where
he was born just 56 years ago tomor

enthusiasm, noisy demonstration and
spectacular display. -
Escorted by cavalry, militia com

LEG
M. Homdrom, employed by the Wil
lamette Pujp & Paper Company, was
seriously injured Friday morning
while at' work. The man attempted
to step over a conveyer which was
in motion. One of his feet caught in
the chain and in no time at all nearly
half of his leg had been dragged into
the sprocket. Had it not been for the
promptness with which the gearing
was handled, Sie leg would have been
torn from his body. Forunately for
him the doctors who were spedily on
the scene, think they can save his
foot, although it is not definitely
known how many of the smaller bones
are broken.. B. T. McBain, mill man
ager, was with the- man shortly af
ter the accident, and superintended
the first aid work which was instant
ly applied. He is now in a hospital
under the care of Drs. Meissner and
Hemstead.
TO
ATTEND SERVICES HERE
Bishop Charles Scadding will at
tend services at St. Paul's Church to
morrow night. The Bishop, who is
one of the most eminent men of the
Episcopal Church, is not coming to
corfirm, or even to preach, hut he is
coming as he said, "to hear his friend
Robinson preach." Rev. C. W. Rob
inson, the rector of St. Paul's Episco
pal Church has been preaching what
some persons might call rather radi
cal sermons on "Social Christianity."
Some peorfe may wonder whether
the Bisrop is pleased or not with what
Mr. Robinson has been saying and
friends of the rector are anxious to
know whether he will preach along
the same ' lines when the Bishop is
present. Oscar Woodfin, at the ser
vice Sunday night, will sing a solo
entitled "Our Ta.sk", by Ashley.
