Washington Biackhurst, in charge of the Padiflc Coast division of the vol' unteers of America spoke at the W. C. T 0. hall last night to a good sized aud ience on the Volunteer movement. While the Salvation Army is a British institu tion, ruled from London, in as autocratic a manner as Kusaia by the Czar, and without any representation there from this side of the Atlantic, the Volunteers of America are purely American, demo cratic in its organisation, in fact has been incorporated. There are already four hundred poets, fifteen on this coast, and the work is spreading. The Ma., a Chicago man, was private secretary of Ballington Booth, he is a fine appearing man, speaking fluently in a cultured manner, and in a way to hold his aud ience. Last Sundav he spoke at San Quentin, and after his address thirty re sponded to the call for raised hands. Tonight Mai. Biackhurst will speak on the prison work, tie is worth hearing. Some Figures.

We notice Prof. F. M. Mitchel and his famous dog Pete in Tangent one day last week. The Prof, was out canvassing for drawing charts. Farmers are not doing much farming since the heavy rain and cold weather and a very smalt acreage has been put in this fall Some have not a grain sowed and others have from 10 to H0 acres sowed. If the spring is good there mill be a big rush to put in a large crop. A great many farmers have not dug their poeatoes yet. We want to correct a report which we noticed in the Democrat during the high water. Some one reported that the Ken dall bridge near Tangent on the Calapooia was taken out by bign water, it was a mistake tor the bridire is still standing aa firm as ever. Mr. A. L. Bridiiefarmer informs ns that a lady from California intends startiug ont in Oregon lecturing on the temper ance cause and is coming tills way and probably she will stop at Tangent if the people wishes to hear her. j Butchering hotra haa been the order With quite a good many around Tangent Mr. A. B. Conrad has gone to Oregon City on a business tnp to see about get ting a tarm. Mr, George Henshaw's voting black smith bov m growing rapidly and we un derstand that Mr. Hood isvery proud of being grandpa. Mi. Ed. Piiipps, who has been living in California for some some time, has come back and ia vijitirg his mother Mrs. O. P. Knighton. We understand that most all the farm ers in and around Tangent are holding on to lhair wheat for be'ier prices. When ever the farmer prosper? ever one elso will prosper. We notice Prof R S Hashes in our cit v and on investigation we found that he had taken to himself a wife, we wish them a long and happy life together. Little Rose Bud said he thought Yourg America was dead. Tbe reason whr w did not write is that we have been in the farming business aud did not have time. A revival meeting is under proirrcss in Tangent. My the good work go on. lOI NO AMfcRlCJk. Equal to the Occasion. Mr. Hearst recently gave Homer Dav enport a check for $3,000. Geo. I. Piper, of Portland, was with him when he went to get it cashed. "When he took the M.O00 check to the bank to get it earned I was with him, 'said Mr. Piper to an Oregon pa per. "The cashier informed him he wou d have to be Mentiaed. "However, Mr. Davenport. he sa'ul. 'if you will write the wotd Davenport a it arpeaJS on the Journal rartooot, I thing you doa'l need further identifica tion. "As he said this the cashier picked up one of Davenport's cartons rian on the counter to compare with the signature and alo called several o&iciais of the ban): to witness tbe teU Homer, with the expression, 'that's dead eaty,' wrote bu name, lite bank otbcials seemed greatly amused aud told him tbe signa ture seemed all tight. " 'Now Ur. Davenport,' continued the ishier, 'it you will draw a picture of ark Hanna on the back ol the check cash Mark the money is yours. "Homer drew the Haana cartoon. d l- lar-marks aii, in a jiff, and when the bank officials saw the fn.i!ir outline the cashier counted out the money." A Bio Tun-The A. O V. W. were at Ibetr best in Lebanon last eight. A meeting was held at the opera house where tbe grand lecturer. D. C. Herrin, d-i;ersed one of the biscest audiences ever in Lebanon. Music was furnished by McKnight Bros, orcbeetrr and the Albany Sbake'em l"p Jlub, greatly ap preciated. An elaborate banouet was given tbeA.O. U. W A. D. tUrker and others attended from thi ci'y. and declare it to ha-e been one of the finest affairs yet held. E. O. SLetoHtsrt. Dr. Deitrkh and Harry Bethure had considerable exper ience coming in from i'ulur today .They started in a aleigb, but had not gone tar wben the frail concern went down. An other was borrowed, but it only lated for a few miles' tourney, and a third sleigh was picked np on the road. It lasted them to town, but looked aa if it wonld go down under the two heavy weights oetore ttiey shall reach jJutur. The Dalles T.M. Oregon's Equalizer.

TrnxED a LivrsttS os Hin. Last Tuesday night as Mr. D Andrews was going home from bis store, his attention was attracted br a noise in the alley, Looking around, he was surprised to see a man standing near him with a big club in his bands. Mr. Andrews turned hia lantern on the man and demanded what he wanted, at which time the man dropped thecluband ran. Mr. Andrews thinks it was an attempt toh ld him up, hut the lantern flu si rated the man. This was the first time that Mr. Andrews had tarried a light with him. Twice be fore wire had been stretched acrrss the walk at this point, as it is very dark there. Other attempts have het-n made lately to hold people nt Our citizens ahcul J be on their guard.
