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

NEW PASTOR INSTALLED
REV. J. R. 3TGLADE PREACHES HIS
ETRST PORTLAND SERMON.
Mizpah Presbyterian Church Greeted
Him "With Large Congregation.
Other Discourses.'
Rev. 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. Aside from a
brief dispatch from the commander of
the gunboat Scorpion, which is now at
La Guayra, Venezuela, there was no news
of importance received here today of the
asphalt concessions in that country. This
dispatch comes to Secretary Long, and
reported that the latest news from. Cara
cas indicated that all was quiet there.
The Scorpion, her commander said, would
proceed to Curacoa for coal. After this It
Is expected the vessel will return to La
Guayra, where she will await tho de
partment's orders.
BIG RAILROAD -DEAL.
Northwestern to Absorb St. Paul,
Minneapolis fc Omaha Line.
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. As
the commercial treaty between the
United States and "Germany must be re
newed In 1903, and, as the German Par
liament will consider the question at Its
Fall session when the Agrarians are ex
pected strongly to oppose clauses now
favorable to American interests, it Is
Mr. Brucker's intention to begin his work
at the earliest possible moment, with
the object of counteracting such opposi
tion. Mf. Brucker's supporters in the pro
ject are manufacturers and merchants
interested in the export trade.

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.
