located tha Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, said that when he accepted his
rresent nosrtlon. 11 months siro. ha
-found the church dispirited, divided,
lacking in loyalty and boss-ridden."
Weak Church Become Strong.
-Tha building was Inadequate and
unattractive he added. Tha reputa
tion of the congregation was synony
raous with factionalism, bigotry. Incom
petence and spiritual death. The oppor
tunity of the college had been Ignored.
Tlie students came to the church, they
saw; they departed and cerer re
turned." ' lie then related that within the past
year tha church has been entirely re
organized, a new working constitution
has been Introduced, which. If enforced.
Insures system and order and will
pare the way for development. He
al) that the church has mot Increased
financial obligations, new member

considering the size of the church, are
tha largest la the city.
A report of wonderful Industrial a

Cash of Hermlston. lie said that hi
field consisted of a town of 1000 per
son and a territory of I5.C00 acres
upon which 1100.000 had been spent In
the past three years and that with the
completion of the big Government dam

radius of Zt miles.
"Our peril." he said. "Is a brutal
materlailsm. and our mission' to spiri
tualise this new civilisation. Our
prospects ar as bright as those of any
mission field of the world.
diarrhea Built by Men With Sand.
"Schools, homes, churches and Irriga
ting dltchea have to be built at the
same time. It takes sand to hold men
to such task, but they have It. One
of tha biggest tasks on earth la to
make a garden of the desert. The
very bigness of It Is attracting th
young and ambitious. The preacher
fowls the same forceful appeal with
tnls added: his vision takes In th
kingdom and the beauty of the land
of far distances."
"Instead of calling my church typical
1 might refer to It as unlqus." spoke
jtev. . B. t:uiott, pastor of Highland

Staedl.th People Plvlile Baptists.
"Many of the Swedish people ar
prejudiced against the Baptist Church."
I.e added, "because of Its teachings.
This prejudice Is hard to overcame, but
In most rases I have established con
tinence in Its place."
A difficult service was that per
formed during the past year by Jtev.
C. R. Lamar, pastor of the churches
at Eagle Point. Merlin and Huge These
points axe widely separated and th
country sparsely Inhabited. He re
ported uccess and progress.

ROOSEVELT PLAH SEEN
REPUBLICAN' BELIEVES COLO
NEL- IS IIARMOMZER,
Not Personal ArrblUon, bat Desire
to Re-elect Taft, Governs Him,
Sat Jared L. Brash.
Advancing a new theory as to th
purpose of the political activities of
Tbeodor Roosevelt, an ex-lleu tenant-
Governor of Colorado, who baa at
tended every National Republican con
ventlon since the organization of th
party. Jared L. Bruah. yesterday en
tertained several acquaintances at tha
Imperial Hotel.
"My opinion I that Colonel Roose
velt will never even be a candidal for
th nomination for th Presidency, but
that b I planning; to bring th party
togotner again In two years for tha
renoralnatlon of Taft." said Mr. Brush.
"Tha New York state platform In
dlcates that attitude aa plainly a any
thing can be put Into words. Roosevelt
and Taft have been together, and while
th result of their conferences ..as
never been given to the public. I feel
that It Is safe to presume that they
understand on another thoroughly
continued th pioneer of th Middle
West.
"Mr. Taft ha given Indication of
recognising the sentiment which I
running wild In tha country, and which
la based on th Idea that the Interests
have had too many legislative favors.
Personally. I have never entertained
such notions, but the 'standpatters' are
in the minority and the leaders of th
party will have to recognise th situ
ation. The next National platform will
adopt many of the featurea of Mr.
Roosevelt s sas national ism.
"The Democrats will have the House
and will attempt to pass constructive
legislation and tinker with the tariff.
but they will tall. The reason tor
he failure will ba found In th atltuda
of tha South. ' Southern statea are de
manding protective tariff to a
greater extent than the Northern states.
So long as they could get what they
wanted from Republicans, they con
tinued In th Democratic ranks. They
will bolt any organised attempt to re-
duo tariff on their Interests. The
result will be that the Democrat will
do nothing they promise, and the new
Republican party will sweep Into
power. Roosevelt wlU be the leader
of the movement and Taft th standard-bearer."
Mr. Brush passed the day at the Im
perial, on the way to hla home at Fort
Collins. Colo., where he Is president
of the First National Bank. He ha
been attending tha convention of Na
tional Banker at Los Agelts and Is
paying his first visit to th Northwest.
Mr. Brush I on of the picturesque
figures of th Centennial state, where
he has lived since 1839. His boyhood
was spent on a farm, which he itllf
own, and on which he amassed wealth
feeding lambs and raisins' sugar
beet.
-Oregon astounds me at every turn.
said Mr. Brush, "and Portland I simply
wonderful. If I could move to the
coast and wanted only a home, I would
go to Lo Angeles. If I wanted a home
and to build up a business. I would
com to- Portland on th first trgjn.
This la destined to be a great city,
and so far as I can see there 1 nothing
to top It-"

'm Mayor also vetoed an ordi

north of the north line of Hall street
to the sewer on Sixteenth street. In
vetoing this, the Mayor said.
"My objection to the ordinance Is
that there is not sufficient definite
description of the street In which the
proposed sewer Is to be constructed,
and In my Judgment. If a sewer should
be constructed on the street contem
plated by the persons promoting the
passage of the ordinance, no valid

There are tvvo kinds of doughnuts
There's the lard-laden doughnut that is heavy,
soggy and lies like lead in the stomach that's
the old-fashioned kind. Steer clear of it; it's the
lard that makes it indigestible, not the cook.
Then there's the crisp, flaky, richly browned
' doughnut, that almost melts in your mouth, yet
without the suspicion of greasiness. This kind is,
