K. A. McClanathan, who leaves Saturday for Hood Hlver, Ore gon. The Incident was one to be re membered by all who took part, but more particularly by him who has Just severed his connection with the State troops after a companionship of 20 years. "At C:30 o'clock last evening au In formal dinner was given In honor of Lieut.

J Heilbronner Huildlng brought ont a handsome leather traveling bag. neatly trimmed, which he turned over to the wondering lieu tenant, who was advtned to bear in mind the admonition of the captain given the men In the drill hall anent the care of their property. Lieut. McClanathan was surprised, pleased and visibly affected. "The comrades with whom he has shared the Joys and hardships of military life for so many years, then sang, "He's a Jolly Good Fellow, " with great earnestnenH. "This token of appreciation was by no means the final act of the leave taking between otlicer and men. Lieut. Mason, who la every day life Is a customs officer, on the conclu sion of the rousing chorus arose and advancing toward his subordinate said, "Of course you are aware that It Is my duty to Insppct baggage. I will ask you, sir, to permit me to look Into your grip." "Lieut. McClanathan looked up, surprised. Then he smiled- as he re plied, "I guess there Is nothing here that may be considered contraband." ' "Well It Is not all Impossible that you might have a bottle of spirits stowed away there, so I will Insist upon making the examination." "You know very well, Lieutenant, whiskey Is not permitted In the arm ory," said the younger officer. "The Instinct vt the customs offi cial, however, was too keen to lie put aside In that way, and he In sisted upon the bag being opened. "Over in the corner was a package. McClanathan dived a hand after It and pulled forth a purse. Confusedly he opened It and emptied $"." In gold Into the pulm of bis hand. Silent for a minute or two, the spell was broken by one of the typical McClan athan expletives, "Ob " and the company, to a man, roared with delight. "Before the departing member could attempt to give expression to bis Uiought, the men of Company E, the real and ouly bonallde Forty Second broke out In chorus, and the strains of the grand old classic, "Auld Lang Syne" filled the building. "Lieut. McClanathan was almost In a state of collapse, because of the unexpectedness of the whole affulr. It was the first time during his mtll rary career he was flanked, but It took his own students to accomplish the trick." STEINHARDT & KELLY TAKE MOSJER PRUNES The Moslor prune crop, with the exception of one car which went to Kansas City, nays the bulletin, wns bought this year by Stetnhardt & Kelly, of New York. The prunes are of excellent quality this year and the demand for tlieiu Is brisk. Several buyers were in the market, but the New York firm reached a little higher and secured the bulk of the crop. The result is that growers realize about ten cent per box more than they ever received More. The ship ment will be seven cars. The Mosler apple crop, while aver aging about. I cent of the gen eral yield. Is above the standard, and It Is predicted that there will be number of buyers out for the crop. It Is understooil that Stelnhardt & Kelly, who wanted the crop last year, wtll make an effort to control It this season.

HARGREAVES ATTITUDE LIRERAL That the move to close the moving picture shows on Sunday U not re ceiving the support of all the city pastors Is evidenced by the attitude of Itev. J. It. Hargreaves. whom many think Is taking a lllieral and Intelligent view of the matter. In a communication to the Jour nal written In auswer to a news story that apjeared In that paper, Mr. Hargreaves says: Hood Klver, Aug 21 To the Edi tor of the Journal In your Issue of Wednesday evening I noticed the ref erence to my remarks relative to Sunday amusements In Hood iilver. There Is one thing In the article which should lie corrected the state ment concerning the Sunday evening church gatherings. My own evening congregation uloue has averaged larger for the past year than the num-Is-rglven for all the evening congrega tions ou the night mentioned, and on last Sunday night we had to use both side rooms of the church to ac commodate the people, though I think our audience room Is as large as any In town. As regards the attitude of myself to the petition, I stated that a relig ious matter should not be controlled by law, and that while I desired the quiet Sabbath as much as anyone, this was not In Itself amoral Issue but a question of religious attitude. Personally. I feel that If the church will put furth unselfish efforts to ex press the spirit of Christ to the world today. It need not fear the compe tition of Sunday amusements. J. It. H AIII.RKAVKH, Itaptlst Church, Hood Kirer. While many of the church people are In favor of having the shows closed ou Sunday, there are also a great many others who lelleve thut they should not be denied the privi lege of patronizing this harmless form of amusement on that day. They look at the matter as one of personal privilege lu which they should be allowed to judge for them selves rather than be forced to take the ultimatum of a portion of their fellow citizens.
