"Be hold the ncan full of Leprosy" was the text, which was bandied w ilh eloquence and ornte discernment. Leprosy is sym bolical of sin. Like it only God can ef fect a cure. Like it it comes from with it and works out. Like it it developes slowly. Leprosy makes a man an out cast; sin is filling the world with out casts. Like leprosy sin is contageous and spreads. The leper knew he had it and wanted to get rid of it. That is a step in the way to get rid ot sin. Christ laid his band on the leper and he was healed. So He can lay the band of love on your sin and make you clean. Be lieve and ye shall be saved. Hear Mrs Psake tonight and tomorrow night and do not miss tne 3 o'clock Bib'e reading. Ost Successful Celestial. The fol lowing from the Dalles Times Mountain eer show what wonderful birds the Celestials are for spreading out: The MoDfrolian pheasant and California and Oregon qcail which were let loose on Fifteen Mile creek two years ago have multiplied wonderfully, and the? can be seen almost any Lour in the day. They have not been molested since they have j been tnrned leose, and sporting men of Dafor have not disturbed them in their haunts. In a few Tears Fifteen Mile creek will be a paradise for game, and nimroda will have plenty of sport in that 7icinity. Some of those interested in irame, among: them Johnson Bros and C t Balch, at uulur will send to Iowa for some Bob White quail this winter, and let them mingle with the former deni- sena ot tne woods and glens around Fifteen Mile creek. The sportsmen in that neighborhood have imported doss and other means for royal bunts in the future, and they are good shots. Wnii Mr Kash Said Wallts Saio, at present an attorney at Albany but formerly vice president of the Oregon Pacific railroad, was in the c:tr vester- dav. He thinks the sale ol tbe Oregon Pacific will not be confirmed todav and savs that, should it be. there is a prob ability of tbe purchasers transferring a considerable portion oi the rolling stock to the Astoria road when completed. Tbe Oregon Pacific baa about sixteen locomotives, a couple of hundred freight cars and a large number of passenger coaches. It would require only a small portion of these to carry the traffic over the Oregon Tacific as it is now conduct ed. Salem Statesman.

Tbe board bas named Attorney General Chamberlain to give an official opinion on the law. it is enderstood that one of tbe slate board holds the law unconstitutional and wants a legal opinion on that. If the ma'terof selec tion goe over unti. the legislature meets tbe law will surely be repealed. Journ al. Bcildixq Kailboads. It is fun to see our exchanges build railroads. The parties who are to build tbe Astoria railroad, says the Tillamook Headlight, have just bought the Oregon Pacific paying f 100,000 for it. The Oregon Pa cific extends from Yaquina to Albany, and eastward into the Cascade Moun tains. It will be built on through East ern Oregon, and to some transcontinent al connection, and it will also be con nected with the new road to Astoria, giving it a terminus at a good t arbor. Astoria seems to be in a way to get good railroad connections with the balance of tbe world, and it is iust possible that the new road will soon build a connect ing line from Albany to Astoria through the Tillamook country.
