Jlatthowe, pastor of tho First Preaby terlan Churcb, Seattle, Washington, tu Iked Ufa insurance to hlsj family, tuklng for tils subject, "Is domestic safety ussured and personal righteous ness aided by fraternal Insurance?" his text being I Timothy 5:8: "But if any provide not for his own, and espe daily those of his own house, ho hath denied the faith nnd is worse than an Infidel." Tho geutleman delivered an excellent discourse, proving con clnsively that It was the duty of every innu to carry lifo insurance, aud dur jng his sermon mado tho following statements, which aro worthy of con sideration: "Every yonng man ought to havo eorao Insurance. Young men, of all men, ought to bo Insured. There are many whose salaries aro so small they cannot afford a largo premium policy. Then let them take a cheaper insur ance, Somo ono sayn, 1 Cheap insur ance 19 dangerous, and fraternal com paules often fail.' That statement is untrue, hut admit that somo do fail; not a dollar has been lout, Every dol larof fraternal insurance goes direct to.help some widow and comfort some suffering orphan. It is truo charity, and you were protected during tho life of tho company. Anything which brings men together and Inspires friendship, confidence and brotherly love baa my support. Fraternal ItjBur anoo has. united men In a bond that cannot bo broken. It has bridged the grave and mado the surviving mem berg the .personal guardian of the wldqvj, and' tho orphans. Jf I could go into overy humble home and light a lire In tho grate, put a warm meal on the table, cover oaoh bod with blankets and mako ha"ppy each child my cup of Joy -would overflow. If I cannot go hi person, I pan go In a fraternal In surance certificate. My monthly prom Ujm shall take J he Wings of tho morn ing nnd carry to honied of-sorrow, com fort and brotherly support). God bless tho day of ihsuraubo. A man owes it to the State, to himself aud to his famflv to insure his life." Coal and 0S Too. . Oil, coal and gas has been found on the ltarnctt ranch, near Culver. Thero appears to bo no question but that tho abovo is truo, judging from a letter written to the Crook County Jotu'nal by. ?Ir, Baruett himself, as follows: Editor Tho Journal: Yours of tho 18th lust, at hand, and will say in reply that I havo not ns yet found petroleum In any groat quantities, but wo havo found flno indications and thoy get better as wo go down. The well Ib.iiow.215 feet deep and in a gray SiimMono formation, Tho Blush' looks ns if It might bo half oil and will burn readily when (lro is applied to it, There havo boon sqveral Eastern men hero and they pronounce it a sure pruspoot for potroloum. Tho gas is esouplng from tho woll aH the present tlmo and sounds like Btearii from au euglrio. Wo havo also found coal In small quantities. Very truly, D. W. Baruett. Tho LoiiQino Trading Go. will pay Wo for whoat and 60o per bushel for oat, half cask ) and half merchandise,, For"fur,thor pVrtlcu.Iars call or wrUfrto the above at MuevJllej Or a. j More and Smaller Farms. Wliero wheat is the principal nnd most profitable crop, as in portions of Eastern Oregon, large farms yield not only tho larger profits in tho nggrc gnto, but per acre, In such cases it would be useless "to ndvUo their break ing tip Into smaller wheat farms, even If the ndvlco were wise. A dairyman who conducts his business on a large scale also needs quite a largo farm. An brchardist, too, can make more money per acre, perhaps, from a large than a small orchard. But consider ing tho matter generally, and taking nil kinds of agricultural and horticul tural products into view, Oregon would be vastly better ofl if most of the lafgo land-holdings wero divided up, and so multiplied Into threa, five or ton times ns many holdings. For many profitable purposes, in the well settled portions of, the state, and near a transportation line, :a small tract of land is sufficient. It can furnish tho owner wllh enough em ployment, (if ho makes the best and utmost use of it, and it will support n good-sized family aud in many cases provide a comfortable bank account besides. Owners of large tracts of fertile land, much of which Is practically useless and profitless to them, would themselves be better off after selling tho greater portions -of their holdings. Thus they would Increase tho popula tion of their neighborhoods, would de crease tho per capita taxes, would get belter wagon reads and perhaps an electrio road, would havo money for improvement or investment, and the fraction they retained would In many cases bo rendered within a very few years as valuable as tho whole original tract would havo been If retained and not utilized. This Is a matter that must; be left entirely to the will and dlsposiilon of the laud-ownprs," but it should do no harm to suggest to them occasionally that they would not only greatly benefit their communities, and the state at large, but themselves as well by selling pfl" portions of large nnd not fully utilized .holdings at reasonable prices. Portland Journal. ProspcrIty,for Farmers;' ' Never on tho whole has the entire country been more universally pros pcrous. And the finest fact concern ing this general prosperity is, that un like heretofore at such times, when tho farmers and the agricultural ele ment tagged along in the procession somewhere toward tho rear, now tho country people, tho backbone and mainstay of tho entire land, lead the line. They never heretofore felt times that will compare with their condition of today. The most frequent ad jective that used to be employed in describing the tillers of our fields and the converters of our immense areas of bottoms and uplands and prairies, etc., was as "the poor Jnrmer." The adjective no longer applies now when the mortgage has everywhere been lifted, aud replaced by all sorts of luxuries. The husbandmen aro lit orally rolling! In; wealth, buying or able to buy for themselves aud their womenfolks everything they -rcqdlre, and Indeed much more, neatly every luxury they crave. Every ono knows that IS a fast. ' Revival Meetings. Itev. 0. P. 'Bailey, the craok mis sionary of the Missionary Baptist persuasion, has announced his 'inten tion of coming to Madras to hold a aeries of revival meetings. ReyiO. W.
