. A Chicago minister, always up with
the times, proposes a church, trust
Only two years ago the trust was look
ed upon as the most dangerous enemy
that haa yet invaded this country.
None could be found to stand up in its
defense. Everybody felt called upon to
denounce the hydra-headed evil and
visions of serfdom accompanied the ad
vent of the trust. And now comes the
suggestion that the trust Is & means
of hurrying the millennium. The word
baa already lost its terrors. It may be
used In the puIpH, Sunday school and
family prayer again. It may be only a
friend In disguise, pointing out a short
cut to heaven. By virtue of the trust
we may be able to walk the milky path
way to mansions in the sky. Through
the trust, denominational gulfs and
schisms may be bridged. There need be
no more unnecessary multiplication of
churches where not heeded. If the Chi
cago minister's idea of the trust can
be made in reality the millennium is
at hand, and rather than a means
whereby plutocracy may crush the com
mon peopla, it will make salvation more
easily within the reach of all.
If President Roosevelt could have
seen the Chinese, big, little, old and
young, turn out on the occasion ot the
dragon parade yesterday, he would
have concluded theChlnese nation needs
no lecture on race suicide.

ARE GETTING LOGS
The Bremner Logging Company, op
erating near Toungs river falls, now
has its line of railroad extended one
mile and a half south and the work of
taking out logs has begun. The camp,
which has been located near the falls,
will be removed to the end of the line
at once. Everything is working
smoothly and the line will be moved
farther inland rapidly. The establish
ment of this logging camp is a boon to
the section embraced by Olney and the
rapid development of the . territory
which its operation affects is assured.
Already a postoffice has been establish
ed which will be known as Casey.' The
office will be placed In the home of John
Casey, an old resident near the falls.
Miss C. Quinn, a nelce of Mr, Casey,
has been appointed post-mistress.
BODY IS SHIPPED
The body of the late Joe Black, who
was killed in his logging camp on Grays
river Tuesday evening, was shipped on
last night's train for Kelso, Wash.,
where it will be interred.
ASTORIA,
INTEREST IN REGATTA
Interest displayed In Oregon's annual
regatta is another ' evidence. , of hov
water sports are growing In popular
favor. What form of amusement is so
recreative, and so void of objection
able features? Who could witness the
events now In progress on the Columbia
river tn front of Astoria without an In
describable thrill ot pleasure or leave
without resolving to never miss any aim
liar event in the future? The manage
ment of the coming national expositions
rcognle the growing demand for this
form of amusement and aquatic sports
will be made a prominent feature of the
Lewis & Clark fair at Portland in 1S05
and at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion at St. Louis next year. The great
er portion of the site for the Portland
exposition is covered with water, and
when it is improved Is expected to fur
nish some of 'he principal diversions
for fair visitors. Immense expendi
tures will be made for entertainments
! on water at St. Louis. Electric launch
es, large electric barges, Venetian gon
dolas and a large number of other
tmall craft will ply the miles of water
ways ' at the Worlds Fair next year.
The large boats will run over regular
courses carrying pasengers between
landings which will be supplied in var
ious parts of the grounds. The lagoons
reach every section of the main picture
of the exposition, passing by thefa
cades of many ot the big exhibit places
and offering an unexampled view of the
cascades and fountains. The Intra
mural railroad and the miniature roil
way do not reach this district so that
the water transportation will be an at
tractive means of travel in the "main
picture."
The electric launches will carry
about 22 persons each; the barges, 70
persons each; and the picturesque gon
dolas, with singing gondoliers, will
carry from S to 20 persons each. The
latter will be rented by the hour. All
boats will be equipped with awninirs. j
Besides these boats there will be oper
ated a fleet oftvater craft of all nations
Including the house-boat of China, the
Balso of India, the out-rigger of the
South Sea Islands, the surf boats of
Hawaii, the canoes and dug-outs of the
American Indian and the Catamaran of
Australia. Novelty boats designed to
represent peacocks, swans, sea serpents
and other real and fabled beings will
also be operated. Special boats decor
ated and equipped with music and sing-
inggondoliers will ' be maintained for
private boating parties which will be a
social feature of the exposition.
