THE MOKNING OEEGOSIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1901. VIOLATE GAME LAW Reservation Indians KilI'Deer in Close Season. GOVERNMENT AGENTS SCORED "Warden .Qulmby Say Ther Encour- ngc the Depredations of Their "Wards He Asks the Legislature Xor Larger Appropriations. Game and! Forestry Warden L. P. W. Qulmby scores the Indian agents o the "United States -Government in Oregon, in his biennial report to Governor Geer. He says they hot ' only permit the In dians to kill game out of season, but en courage them to violate the law. There is one exception, Agent Applegate, of Klamath reservation. Warden Qulmby says he cannot give the state good ser vice for the present appropriation of 52200 a year, and that he must have more money if he is to be expected to give the game and forestry interests the atten tion they require. He says In his report: "It is my duty to report that the as sistance that should have been rendered this office by Indian agents in my efforts to secure the obedience of the Indians to our laws, has, with the exception of but a single agent (Colonel Applegate, of the Klamath reservation), been denied me. When I had the right to expect the most assistance of the paid and trusted em ployes of the Government, if was not to be had. Not only have Indians been permitted to leave their reservations for the purpose of hunting prohibited game during the close seasons, but, I have been informed, they are even encouraged in their depredations by the Indian agents themselves. The result has been the Indians have hunted, shot and slaughtered elk and deer with Impunity. Although several arrests were made by my deputies, but one conviction was had. That conviction was secured through the efforts of Meritt Legore, of Joseph, Wallowa County, who arrested five Indians from the Lapwal reserva tion, in Idaho, on the divide between the Inmaha and Snake Rivers in Wal lowa County. John Lawyer, one of the quintet, was convicted and fined S100, the others being discharged. It was re ported to Mr. Legore that the Indians had slaughtered fully 300 deer. Whether this report be true or not, It Is certain that they killed a great many. The res idents of the portions of the state in whloh deer are yet plentiful are natuar ally and justifiably Indignant over these Indian depredations. "In consequence of this connivance on the part of Indian agents at game-law violations by the Indians, It has been next to impossible to secure convictions. Instead of being taught respect for the laws of the state, and exhorted to obe dience, the Indians are encouraged In wanton disrespect and open rebellion. "Under such conditions the Game War den is absolutely powerless to compel obedience to the game laws from the In dians. Only a posse of deputies possi bly could prevent them from killing game out of season, when once they are In the mountains on their annual hunts and huckleberry excursions. I have pleaded and entreated with Indian agents, through correspondence, but all to no purpose, and, unless the Legislature makes financial provision for enforcing the laws at any cost, its operation In reference to the Indians must continue a farce, and the law Itself a dead letter. Xecds of the Office. "That the appropriation made by the Legislative Assembly for the mainten ance of this office and the enforcement of Oregon's game laws is entirely Inade quate, every citizen who has given the matter the least consideration must ad mit. Oregon still has some magnificent distances, and that the entire state can not be covered with the niggardly ap propriation of $500 for deputy hire, in addition to the salary allowed the Game Warden, must be obvious. Deputy game wardens, no matter how devoted they may be to the game interests of the state, or how enthusiastic they may be in their efforts to aid In the enforcement of Its game laws, cannot be expected to give their time in running down violat ors without adequate compensation. The compensation, the appropriation of &00 allowed for such expenses will not per mit. Not Infrequently It Is necessary to travel from 50 to 100 miles by stage or horseback to Investigate reported vio lations or the laws. Elk and deer do not browse along public highways to any great extent. Their haunts are among the Inaccessible regions of the forests and mountalna. where the menacing en croachments of conization are as yet but little felt. It Is here that the vio lators of game laws, safe from the watchful eye of the Game Warden, ex ecute their nefarious depredations. It Is not the public hlghwajs that are eas ily reached and easily traveled that re quire the 'most watching. Neither can the Game Warden himself be expected to investigate every report of a violation and do the necessary detective work to entrap the guilty. He cannot be omni present, and It would be Impossible for him to answe- every call even did he desire to do so. "However, much of his time is taken up by his office duties. He has to be there as much as possible to answer questions, look after correspondence, and to attend to countless other duties that the office entails. Either he or a dep utv should be there all the time, as not infrequently violations are reported dur ing the absence of the Game Warden that are beyond reach after his return. Many, and In fact, nearly all, reports of violations require immediate attention and prompt action. Delays are danger ous, but under existing conditions de lays are necessary. More than this. It frequently happens that reports must be ignored entirely. "New York annually expends $100,009 for protection of her game Interests; California, $47,000: Minnosota, $30,000; Massachutetts, $11,500. while Oregon's annual appropriation Is but $2200. Sufficient money should be appro priated for the maintenance of this office, to provide the Game Warden with a competent office deputy, who could al ternate with the Game Warden In the performance of field duty, and to permit Of a reasonable compensation tor the ser. vice of special or county deputies, as the exigencies of the occasion may demand such services. Forestry Protection. "The vast expanse of forest within this state. al Us enormous value, render its rrotction the most important duty de volving upon this department. The chief of the Bureau of Forestry of the Depart ment of Agriculture, at Washington, esti mates the annual loss caused by forest fire at 30,M,000, no small portion of which is within the borders of our state. In many states forestry commissions have been established, and active - measures adopted to protect the wooded lands. While the lumber Induslrj Is one of the greatest of Oregon, tne orotection af forded has been meager. II Is the duty of the Game and Forestry Warden to en 'orce the 18 of the state for the pro tection of fotests, and much of the time of myself s id ceputies has been employed in the performance of such duties. "Reports ol forest flref were numerous, one deputy reporting six 'fires during the months of August. September and Octo ber, 1&00, and that he was engaged 13 days in extinguishing tho came Less damage was done, however, last year than for some years iwst, partla'Jy attributable to the frequent rains during the Summer and Fall. Early last year Hon. Blnger Hermann. Ccmmlss"0"tr of the "United States General Land CfLce, decided that superinte'ndenbj and sipervsors, as well as other officers of the Government em ployed In connection uiththe care and preservation of forest reserves, could co operate with the game wardens of the several states and territories in which reservations are located, to aid in enforc ing the local laws for the protection of fish ana game within the several reserves. "With the approval of Supervisor S. B. Ormsby, I have issued county warden commissions to several forest rangers, whom I hae found to be valuable aids. I have also sent clpth posters, with ex tracts from the forestry law printed there on, to many of the county wardens and to every Sheriff in the state, with the request that they be posted in conspicu ous places. Upland Birds. "I am. pleased to report that the whole some protection given our upland birds has resulted in a considerable increase. Nearly all upland birds were more plenti ful last year than ever before. This was especially true of the ring-neck, or China Torquatus pheasant, which has obtained such a firm foothold in the state that its extermination is not to be thought of. "Native pheasants and grouse have also increased in many localities. Quail are likewise increasing, ahd continue to fur nish rare sport. In some localities the na tive grouse appears to be decreasing. This is probably due to the shooting of the hooter, or male bird, during the Winter and Spring, a practice that deserves the severe censure of every sportsman. It is believed that if the far-reaching conse quences of this reprehensible practice were fully realized, it would be immedi ately stopped. A number of arrests for the shooting of upland birds out of season have been made by the game warden and his depu ties during the past year, and in a ma jority of cases convictions were secured. On the whole, however, the law has been respected. "While there is quite a variance of opin ion among those familiar with the habits of the ring-neck pheasant regarding the open season, the majority of those with whom I have conferred suggest that the open. Feason, which Is now from October 1 to December 1, be changed to from Sep tember 15 to November 15, owing to the fact that the birds seek the high ground and timber during the latter part of No vember on account of the extreme rainy weather. I would, therefore, recommend that the law be changed in this respect. "Prairie chickens, owirg to their rapid decrease in Eastern Oregon, should re ceive furilu piotection. I would, there fore, recommend that the killing of them be prohibited until 1003." TO REPORT WAR-TAX BILL. Senate Committee Set Today or To morrow as Tim. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The Senate will take up the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill Monday as soon as possible after convening. There Is little In the bill that ordinarily would create debate, but It does not seem Im probable that several days may be re quired to act on It because of the desire on tho part of some Senators to post pone consideration of the ship subsidy bill as long as possible. The shipping bill will be made the un finished business whenever, In the opinion of the friends of. that measure, it is wise to give It that place; but In view of the fact that It will be displaced by ap propriation bills whenever Senators In charge of these measures desire to take them up, It is probable that the motion to give the bill the place of. vantage will be postponed until after the considera tion of the legislative bill. Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the finance committee, probably will report the war revenue bill Monday or Tuesday, and he will ask Immediate consideration for that measure. The rules of the Senate give preference to revenue bills, as they do to appropriation bills, and no order of tho Senate will be necessary to make a place for that bill. It Is not probable that any effort will be made to displace appropria tion bills with that measure, but all Senators seem united In the opinion that it necessarily must become a law during the session, and If there should be an occason when It would be necessary to decide between It and some bill other than an appropriation bill, the preference al most certainly would be given to the reve nue bill. The present Impression, how ever. Is that this bill will be soon dis posed of. Democratic Senators probably will make an effort to secure additional reductions, but, failing In this, will vote for the bill. The pension and military academy appropriation bills also are on the calendar, and will receive early at tention. Tho Indian appropriation bill will be reported early In the week, but will not be pressed. Senator Morgan has not indicated his purpose with reference to the Nicaragua Canal bill, but his friends say that ho will delay a reasonable time, and that If England does not act upon the amend ments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, he then will move consideration of the canal bill. Renewed efforts will be made Monday or Tuesday In executive session to secure the confirmation of J. S. Harlan as Attorney-General for Porto Rico, and also to secure ratification of the treaty with Spain for the cession of the remaining islands of the Philippine group. IX THE HOUSE. Appropriation Billa "Will Take Up Most of Time This Week. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Tho House will devote most of Its attention during the coming week to appropriation bills. Most of the District of Columbia, fortifica tions, naval, postoffice and naval meas ures are ready for consideration. At tho outset, however, there will be a day or two given to other measures having right of way. The Army reorganization bill will be reported back promptly from the committee on military affairs, probably tomorrow, and sent to conference with a general disagreement to all Senate amend ments. It may be reported back during the latter part of the week, and a sharp contest Is promised, Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, the minority leader, having In timated that there will be a discussion of each paragraph. The District of Columbia Is entitled to tomorrow, and will seek to hold the day to the consideration of local measures. The bulky postal codification bill is also before the House as a continuing order, and will require much of the time not given to appropriation bills. Efforts are making to have the bill to promote the efficiency of the revenue cut ter service made a special order for Tues day. The appropriations bill heretofore re ferred to will consume the time during the rest of the week, except Friday, which is private pension day, and Saturday, when eulogies to the memory of the late Senator Gear, pt Iowa, will be pro nounced. 3IInevorkers Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Jan. 20. Talks with the delegates to the National con vention of the "United ftlineworkors of America Indicate that few of them came instructed to make a demand for a ma terial Increase In wages. Trains bringing the delegates began arriving at 4 o'clock this morning, and until midnight nearly every train that pulled into the Union station carried delegates. Accidentally Killed. SALT LAKE. Jan. 20. A special to the Tribune from St. George. Utah, says that Martin Wright, late candidate for Gov ernor of Utah, who was ea route to Los Angeles with his two sons, was Instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a revolver, which fell from his pocket while he was preparing, dinner at 'their camp. MARKETS IN GHINA Consul Miller - Reports Fruit and Butter. on APPLES AND PRUNES COSTLY Great Demand for Butter in As la and the Philippines, and the Pacific Coast Should Get the Trade. Pacific Coast producers are looking for a market In Asia for butter and fruit. H. B. Miller, of Oregon, "United States Consul at Chungking, China, is investigating conditions at Shanghai while awaiting a opportunity to reach his post In the Yang tse Klang Valley. He writes that there will not be a demand for apples until they can be sold to Chinese consumers at lower prices than now prevail. Prunes, also, cost too much for the average Chin ese,' but Oregon growers will get around this difficulty by shipping smaller grades, which can be landed at lower prices. The demand for butter In China, Japan and the Philippines Is increasing, and the Pacific Coast ought to capture this trade. It produces fine butter for little money, and Is In good position to trade wun asu Consul filler's letter follows: "Fruits grown here comprise peaches, pears, and apples. A few very fine peaches are raised; but the majority are of the " clingstone variety, and inferior in quality as compared with the Ameri can peaches. The principal enemy to peach growing here Is the peach worm that Infests the fruit and Is similar to the codlln moth In the apple. Thece worms are not combated in any way by the growers, and are so plentiful that It is almost Impossible to find any fruit free from them. The pears are of several va rieties, but are very Inferior and uni versally Infested with codlln moth. "All the apples that I have yet seen In -this market are of a small, sweet tough variety. Those that I have exam ined show traces of the codlln moth, but are not as badly affected as are the pears. J was surprised to find the ap ples In many instances covered with the San Jose scale. I do not know how long this pest has been here, and whether It has any natural enemies or not. As they do nothing to combat the scale, If It has been here long, It must have some natur al enemies to hold It In check or It would be In greater evidence. So far, I have not seen apple scabs or fungus growths on any of the fruit, to the ex tent of Injuring It, and am Inclined to think that the climate Is too hot for the growth, although the air contains enough moisture to make It thrive. "As to the matter of a market for Oregon apples, there have been several shipments from Washington and more are ordered. There will probably be as many as 1000 boxes imported during thla year. The foreigners consume the Im ported apples; the Chinese fruit answers all the requirements of the natives. The great cost of apples here materially lim its the consumption. They are usually sold at retail at 15 cents Mexican (7 cents United States) per pound. Deal ers order only in small quantities from 10 to 100 boxes at a time. These come xr ctoamor oithcr from San Francisco or Vancouver, British Columbia, and us ually reach here In bad condition, caused either by poor packing or careless stow ing on board ship. "Apples coming to the Orient should be packed just before shipment in stand ard boxes, with each apple wrapped in paper and a layer of cardboard between each tier of fruit and on top and bot tom of box. There are many varieties that should not be shipped here, such as the Baldwin. The best kinds for this market are Ben Davis, Wlnesap, and Tel low Newtown. There are few varieties that will stand the long ocean trip as well as these. There will never be a very large market here for such fruits, until some plan is devised to get them into the hands of the consumers at a much less cost than at present. Some thing might be done to Increase the mar ket by Introducing the American apple to the tables of the weil-to-io uninese. "Regarding the market for prunes, I find It equally limited, and confined to the foreigners. The natives have a plum that they dry and use to a limited ex tent, but It does not seem to enter into the food consumption of the great mass of Chinese. The standard of living of the ordinary Chinese is so far below ours in the cost and character of food con sumed that it seems impossible to us, and a statement of plain facts appears like the most extravagant exaggeration. As an example, the servants In some of the best places in Shanghai club together and pay a cook to provide and prepare their food for them at a cost of $2 50 Mexican per month, or about $1 25 per month in gold, or a fraction over 4 cents per day In our money. These people live much better than the average. I feel safe' In saying that the average cost of food consumed by the Chinese does not exceed 2 cents gold per day. In tho in terior wages range about as follows, per day: Carpenters -10 cen9 Masons JO c113 Blacksmiths 10 cents Laborers 8 cents "The cheapest laborers work for 3000 cash (equal to $3 75 Mexican) per month, which amounts to 12 cents per day in silver. It will readily be seen that the masses of China will never consume many prunes at a rate that will net the producer 3 cents gold per pound. A present and future market for American fruit cannot be expected among the masses of China "I find the California French prune here, and paid 25 cents Mexican per pound for exactly the same grade that I sold from my orchard last year for 3 cents gold. These are bought by dealers here In lots of from 5 to 20 boxes of 25 pounds each. "Unless there Is an oppor tunity to create a market for the Ore gon prune In Northern China among the Russians, I can see no extensive opening for it In the Orient. California prunes In boxes reach this market in good shape, and are very nice." BUTTER IX CHINA. "Western States Ought to Secure the Trade That Is Offered. Rnnrtlntr on the butter market of China, Consul Miller writes: "Butter and cheese were Imported into Shanghai during the year 1S0O from France, Denmark, Australia, Sweden, and the United States to the value of oer $100,000 much the greater part of this being butter. Butter is shipped In tubs. In tins of half a pound, a pound, and two pounds.and in the common quart fruit $irs holding two pounds. Some of the best butter In this market comes In fruit jars from California. This retails at $1 75 Mexican (87 cents "United States) per Jar, is the highest priced butter sold here, and on that account is not exten sively used. The weight of jar and necessary packing makes the freight much greater than on butter in tins. Tins are preferred. "Large orders are being placed now for Australian butter that retails at 60 cents Mexican (30 cents United States) per pound in one and two-pound tins. There Is no Import duty on butter here. "There is a general complaint against United States butter in tins, which I am inclined to believe Is due to lack of knowledge on the part of packers of the proper method of putting up the butter. The principal complaint made by dealers here is that there Is- usually a deterior ation in the quality after a few ship ments. The French butter is a remark able example of this. At one time, this was preferred to any, and it was practi cally in control of the market. It was so popular and the demand for it so great that the temptation to adulterate it was sufficient to cause the makers to turn everything possible into butter, and I have just been informed by a very prominent dealer that because of the adulteration he has discontinued entirely the handling of French butter. "A good brand of butter that is once established and. maintains its quality can count upon a permanent and Increas ing trade. It is necessary to have the tins stained to prevent rust, and brand3 should be stamped on, the tins Instead of being pasted on with paper. It is of great importance to have the package as neat as possible and in such form as will retain not only the good quality of the contents through all conditions of climate, and especially very warm weather, but its neat appearance as well. It must especially be preserved against rust. The Australian butter in tins is very neatly branded in colored inks on the top of the can. The can is provided with a rolling opener, so that .the top can be lifted and replaced tightly, all of which is accessary. "Butter In rolls or two-pound blocks is shipped to this market in brine during the months of November, December, Jan uary. February, and March, and can be satisfactorily handled in this shape dur ing these months. Mistakes and failures have been made by sending butter in this form at other seasons, either earlier or later, when the weather Is too warm. The Importation of butter and cheese into this port was: 1897 $ G4.S00 1898 80,500 1899 104,390 "The demand for good butter in the Philippines, In Japan, and along the en tire coast of China is increasing very fast, and is bound to assume immense proportions; and with the ability of the Pacific Coast States to produce excellent butter at reasonable cost and under fa vorable conditions, it only remains for the creameries and dealers to master the proper method of packing and handling to secure this trade. With this growing market, more convenient to our Pacific Coast than to any other butter-producing" country, with the many lines of steamers coming here from that coast, It seems a matter of importance to our Western States to secure this trade. "I would also call attention to the in creasing Importation of condensed milk and cream at this port. During last year there was Imported here "from various countries $55,000 worth of canned milk and cream. I can see no reason why our Western States should not secure a large part of this trade also. In 1897, the Importation amounted to $34,560; In 1899, to $54,750. There has no doubt been an equally great Increase at other ports of the Orient. "The most difficult problem In securing and holding the Oriental market for pure dairy products is the competition of various forms of so-called butter. The manufacturers of these spurious articles are free to make all manner of adulter ations and put them on the market la beled pure dairy butter. I attribute the low price of butter here now to this com petition, and firmly believe, from my own experience, that the greater propor tion butter sold Is a spurious product, although it is handsomely put up and branded as pure dairy butter. None of the large dealers has the product sold as butter tested by a chemist, and they are not certain of its purity. "The following is a list of general storekeepers who deal in butter and con densed mljk: Dunning & Co., Nankin road; Yuen Tah, Brqadway; Franjee Lorabjee & Co., Hong Kew; E. L.

Jerome R.- McGlade, tho new pas tor of Mizpah Presbyterian Church, East Powell street, was greeted at tho yes terday morning services by a large con gregation. He spoke informally for half an hour, and the deep interest manifested betokened the favorable impression the new pastor made by his first sermon. Tho speaker said: "My friends, I speak to you in an In formal .way at this opening service, but speak face to face and heart to heart. "We ministers find church services the same all over the country, and so do not feel strange nor unfamiliar upon entering a new field. This Is possibly due to the tie which binds Christian people together. I repeat the words of Peter for my text: 'I ask, therefore, then for what Intent you have sent for me,' and will endeavor to answer this singularly appropriate question. "Note first with me tho wonderful in fluence of earnest, sincere prayer. Some one has said that it would be most in teresting and inspiring to follow the his tory of a single prayer from the time it was winged from an aching heart to the kingdom of deity until its final result. Let your hearts be open to Its influence. Believe in its efficacy, for it is the power that moves the world. Our dally diesires and needs find voice In silent prayer, which the Father answers in the wisest way. From prayer, turn to the broad basic principles -of Christianity. Peter, be ing a Jew, believed that Christ would establish a kingdom In Judea, but God gave him a vision showing him the fal lacy of his Idea. Christ came not to re deem a few in Judea, to set up an earthly kingdom for them, but to save the whole world. Was this not a broad doctrine of expansion, of wide-reaching religion? Ex pansion is the watchword of the hour, expansion of thought and deed. God's kingdom is dally expanding in the world, and there never was a time when preaching was more popular or influen tial. "I ask to what intent you have sent for me. Why wc are here -together? It was clearly a spiritual Intent which prompted you. Looking out over your picturesque city, I see that tho secular interests are well attended to, and that your enthusi asm carries your business to success. J3ut there Is a spiritual side to city life whfch Is all-important. Wo must attain to the stature of a perfect man, In perfect har mony with God and his laws, otherwise our life Is not complete, even though the world looks upon us as successful In our business. There must be expansion and growth in secular matters, but In a great er degree we ought to expand and grow spiritually. The Intent for which a min ister is called Is that he shall tell the truth, enlighten people as to correct dally living, present the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ to men, and teach them their ultimate destiny. In the City of Chicago was a venerable man who for 20 years had served a leading church. At last he gave up tho charge on account 'of failing health and ceased in the work he had faithfully followed to success. In his resignation he said that he had not sought to exalt himself, nor had he been am bitious for himself, but had sought to save lost souls. That man had the true aim and had attained as nearly as pos sible to the ideal of the perfect man. "What is so beautiful as: 'the sun-crowned, perfect life, with a beautiful symmetry, wonderful proportions and expansive pow ers? Seek to build up a Christian char actor. It Is more precious than all th wealth in the world," SERMON BY DJt. ELIOT. Theme Was, "Povver of, Great Truths and Small 'Fidelities." "The Calming Power of Great Truths, and the Staying Power of Small Fideli ties" was the theme of Dr. T. L. Eliot's sermon at the First Unitarian Church yesu terday morning, from the text: "The mountains shall bring forth peace, and the little hills by righteousness." "The mountains give the farmer streams, and wall off the tempests," said the speaker. "The little hills pasture his flocks and give him firewood. Each service Is neces sary, and mountains and little hills may be taken as symbols of exalted and In trinsic helpfulness in human character. "There are two classes of people, one for whom only great tasks have an attrac tion, or who are drawn to follow after only gifted and brilliant leaders. The other class is conspicuous in small duties, perennially performed. In our best mo ments, or deepest Insights, we value the latter class most, for It furnishes the rank and file. th,e 'God's host' of the wqrld. The small fidelities of the un chronicled men and women are a wealth beyond computation for human progress and happiness, now, as In St. Paul's time. In the church and the community. At the close of many of the Epistles there Is a string of folk named, with mes sages of love and 'Christ-speed': Saluti Asqucritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobus, Hermes, Phllobogus and Julia; Nereus and his sister and Olympas. Who were they? All we know Is their names.. But the life of Christianity depended on them and others nameless. "Small fidelities are one of tho poles of our being. And Is it not a gift worthy of the Divine Grace, since they are near at hand and attainable by every one? Small duties, Indeed, are Irksome and be littling when we lose sight of their re lation to the great purposes of life. Let them be taken up into life's convictions of sacredness, as part of tho service of the kingdom of God, and then 'holy grail' Is found at home, or in the street, rather than in distant Palestine. "There is a legend of the Talmud or Koran, that Jehovah once sent the Angel Gabriel to the earth with two swords. He was 'to rebuke Solomon for a heavy sin, and also to help a little ant who was tolling with too heavy a load.' In the di vine economy or housekeeping does not the small task assume a beauty and ln evltableness greater than the embassy to Israel's King? " 'The mountains shall bring forth peace.' This Is the symbolism of strength from great truths and principles, and the sense of a Divine order, and helpfulness. Consider what the presence of Mount Hood, mighty mother of snows, means on our landscape and material economy. So in spiritual life we live by admiration, love and hope. In the man, there Is a natural reverence for what Is above him, whether in the form of groat truths of science, or art, or in the mysteries and surprises of his Inner being. To some part of that which Is thus above us fcnd Includes our reason and affection, we must cling. If we wero led from childhood up by our admirations and reverences, there would be no skeptics nor indlffer ents. Religious truth should be brought to a child-heart by what Is nearest to him" yet divine in workmanship, and his mind will readily attach the thought of God as the creator and Infinite lover of all. Let us then have the two poles of char acter well fixed in thought and heart. Small fidelities, and the mothering power of great reverences, which teach us as Schiller says "to look upwards to our dig nity and mission, not downwards to our selfish happiness and our wants.' " At the close of the sermon a brief meet ing of the parish was called to consider an invitation to Rev. B. Fay Mills, of Oakland. Cal., to lecture twice and preach April 14 in Portland. The proper arrangements- were voted and the invitation extended. "So Important Venexnela Xew. "WASHINGTON', Jan. 20.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. The Record tomor row will say: Final negotiations for complete absorption of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line by the Chicago & Northwestern Company, it is reported, are being carried on in New York, the home of the ruling powers be hind the Northwestern system. Since 18S2 the Northwestern has controlled the Omaha, which has a trackage of 1537 miles. It Is said that for a long time the Northwestern has been working to secure full claim to the Omaha, but the ques tion of stock transfers has been a stumbling-block. Now, Inasmuch as the com mon stock of the two roads are drawing nearer each other in value, it Is believed that the necessary transfers can be made satisfactorily. It Is said that the Northwestern hold ings of Omaha stock are 53,500 shares of preferred and 93,200 shares of common. At current quotations the 147,000 shares are valued at $21,850,000. NEW PAPER FOR BERLIN. American "Will Try to Foster Europe- America Friendship. CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Joseph Brucker. managing editor of the Illinois Staatz Zeltung, is to establish a commercial embassy In Berlin, and publish a weekly paper, to be known as Columbia, which shall have for its object the promotion of friendly relations between Europe and America, and their trade interests.

Mf. Brucker's supporters in the pro ject are manufacturers and merchants interested in the export trade. WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Jumped From Wlndo, and Sus tained Fatal Injuries. ST.

NICE HAIR FOR ALL. Once Destroy the Dandruff Germ and Hair Grown Luxuriantly. Any one can have nice hair if he or she has not dandruff, which causes brittle, dry hair, falling hair and baldness. To cure dandruff it is necessary to kill the germ that causes it, and that is Just what Newbro's Herplclde does. Cornelius Grew, Colfax, Wash., says: "One bottle of Herplclde completely cured me of dandruff, which was very thick; and it has stopped my hair from falling out." It makes hair soft and glos sy, as silk; delightful odor and refreshing hair dressing. It will positively make hair grow abundantly, and kills the dandruff germ. o 9 DR.SANDEN THE PALATIAL 1B11 BUILDING Not a Carle office in the building) absolutely fireproof; eleetrlo lihti and artesian vraterj perfect sanlta- tlon and thorough ventilation.
