Mits Pkajcs spoke last night to a fair
sised audieuce notwithstanding the moat
inclement eatherot the winter. "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.

lowing from the Dalles Times Mountain

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

ter by the State Board of Edocation to

General Chamberlain to give an official
opinion on the law. it is enderstood
that one of tbe slate board holds the law

opinion on that. If the ma'terof selec

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.

following: It is not the purpose of this

excusable anl utterly unwarranted under
tbe circumstances. Saunders was serving
a life sentence for murder in tbe second de

saved from tbe hangman's noose. The
killing of Cambell is still fmh tntbe minds
of tbe people of Oregon, and there were no
extenuating circumstances connected wiut
the murder, it was cruel, wanton snd pre
meditated murder, inspired by jealousy

if some eight sloughs or double channels of
the river between here and Hn ubors
were stopped up that boats the size of the
