' This decision ' was reached by the city authorities this afternoon - with the ; knowledge that iiu.uuo persons are out or employment, - And that the city faces a famine. It was reached : after a conference be tween Mayor McLane, the city council and members of the legislature. A bill will be Introduced in the legislature to night appropriating $250,000 for the re lief of the destitute, who now are prac tically the city's wards. ; A bill will also be rushed through repealing the provision of the Baltimore city charter which , limits the emergency fund to $.50,000. This act will give the city's administrators unlimited resources to cope with the situation of the city. The working people seem to not realise the extremity of their position. They know that the commission houses are in ruins.- but forget the city is without food, and they surround the Are lines In holiday attire, charmed , with the FARMERS . . TO BE HELD UP (Jounul Special Service.) Hood River, Or., Feb. 8. The farmer rif this section are Indignant over the action of the Valley Improvement com pany, which, owns the large irrigation system from which the strawberry grow ers obtain their water. The company the farmers put up 330,000 by the first of next month the water wilt be turned off. If this course is pursued the Hood Blver valley will not have a crop of strawberries this season. On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the persons In terested was held and a motion to ac cept the company's proposition was unan imously voted down. A substitute meas ure, consisting of the appointment of five fruit men to confer with the rep resentatives of the water company was passed. The following were selected: R. A. Frans. Fred Bailey, N. C Evans, E. N. Benson and A. C. Staten. This eommlttee will confer with Mr. Wagnon Who represents the water company. The farmers have been paying 38 per inch f'neh year for water and the proposition of the. company to compel them to pay 350 per inch is considered by them" noth ing but highway robbery. The com pany, though, is very heavily in debt and Its' backers refuse to make the nec essary repairs unless the farmers raise the proposed 330.000. Another meeting will be held tomorrow during which the question will be further discussed. .' Committee Wrestles With Problem. Ths committee' appointed at Satur day's water meeting Is still wrestling With the problem. They will recom ihend the rejection of the, 830 an Inch proposition of Mr. Chambers.

Flam Ing brands borne on blah winds from the lumber yards have carried the con flagration across the falls which the firemen prayed might be the limit of the fire-swept area.

'Chief Kmer lck, however, has massed his apparatus at that point and made a strong stand in the long battle for preventing the flames reaching the tenement, district. The United States revenue cutters Windom and- Sentinel , were contacted with the hose . service and did' valiant work in assisting to drive back the ad vancing flames. AC this point it was the marked end of the fire's progress. A steady wind, which hitherto fanned the flames across the city, died away and the biasing buildings ceased' to vomit fhvnes toward their neighbors. - A mes sage was received from Roosevelt this afternoon tendering federal aid.' REFUSE morrow that immediate steps be taken to organise' a movement for the people to put in their own water-supply. There is a petition now out for signatures re questing the committee to recommend some such plan to the people of the valley and once. for all to settle the much-vexed water question that comes up every spring. ' y y Charred, With JTeglsct. The Valley Improvement company, the owners of the water ditch, are openly charged with willful neglect in not keeD- lng the flumes in repair so as to furnish water when needed. It Is charged that several thousand feet of tlume is down and, ' although the season when the berrygrowers will be calling for water is but a few weeks on, nothing is done to put the ditch in condition to run water to the ranchers, . ,-.., Would Toroe Tanners. 'Jt Is believed by many of the farmers that this neglect to keep the ditch in proper condition to convey water to the ranchers is premeditated and for the purpose of forcing the grbwers to sign the Infamous contract that wlw bind mem tc- pay tne ditch company, or ratnor Mr. wnamuers, who submits the ultimatum and owns the bonds, the full price of the ditch and then turn it ever to him, who with great kindness will then permit them to pay him 82.50 an Inch for every inch of water thfy may use ana win permit mem to ao this for 99 years, with absolutely no guarantee of good faith or protection on the part of Mr. Chambers. The claims that are wound around the-farmer, however, ex tend to his land and is a perpetuity oona to tne water company. .

COUNTY'S SUIT IS DRAWING TO CLOSE Arguments of consul began this morn ing in. the suit brought by Multnomah county to recover the value of tax sale certificates delivered to the First Na tional bank and W. F. White. F, P. Mays made the opening statement in behalf of the county, and was followed by. Joseph Simon, representing the bank. Thla af ternoon Judge Pipes made his argument in defense of White. The proceedings were enlivened by occasional tilts be tween the attorneys. Senator Simon entered a strong protest against the re flections which he asserted had been cast by counsel upon the course pursued by the First National' bank,' and declared that the bank and the hank's officers had acted fairly and honorably. The defendants could not now hn heard, said Mr. Mays, to dtsDiite the validity of the certificates- which they had acquired.. - v , - , Declares Hays lg TTnfaii. Senator Simon opened his arcument for the bank by taking strong exception to statements of Mr, Mays. "It seems to me," he sa d. "that tha argument of counsel for the county has been very unfair unfair, in its state ments of fact and unfair in its crltt. clsms of the First National bank. I be lieve that the conduct of the bank in this transaction-is not -open to criti cism. -tfMt -. s . ! t. a "The bank stands in the attitude of an honorable and fair-minded corpora tion, ana i ao not tninic it proper for counsel ' to cast aspersions upon it or upon its officers,': said Senator Simon. Judge Fraser Interposed the remark that he did not understand Mr. Mays to make any reflections upon the character of the bank or its officers, but simply to state the facts which went, In his opinion, to sustain the county's case-. "Certainly that is the case." said Mr. Mays.

Mrs, Ilary : lane Cook, Hermit's ; Lifc Lcav?s Estate to lilrs McDonald Address Unknown; Mrs, Mary Jane Cook died at St. Vincent's sanatorium 'at 4:45 , o'clock yeseerday afternoon at the age o,f 76 years, Erysipelas was the immediate cause of her death. Though she lived In Portland for the' last 30 year little is known of her, i j , Her sister, a Mrs. McDonald, resides In the city, but her address is unknown, and air attempts to learn .her where abouts have been in vain. Mrs. Mc Donald occasionally visited her. sister, but never .told where she lived. Their relations were peculiar in the extreme. Mrs. McDonald did all the visiting, Mrs. Cook rewarding each tlsit with a gift of money. Jf. the visit was prolonged about an hour Mrs. Cook would tell her it was time for her to go. as thev were likely to quarrel if they were longer to gether. u , - Mrs. Cook for several ' years was an attendant at the old -East Portland asy lum, which Btoofl. near Belmont and East Twelfth streets, in the Hawthorne tract. She Is known to have, laid by consid erable money; with a part of which she bought the residence property, on the corner of East; Eighth and East Oak streets, where she lived for several years. The doors and windows of her dwelling were barred and cross-barred so that they , resembled a jail : rather than a private residence, she was very suspicious of every one. constantly In dread of being robbed. She never ad mitted anyone to her dwelling. ( When footstep were heard approaching she would cal) through the bars to the In truder to be gone, that she wanted noth ing but for him to go away. She was a native of Scotland and re sided in Boston, Mass., and later . in Philadelphia.- Pa She. was married to i a seafaring 'man named Cook, i While. FIRST SERMON HERE BY DR. Revi J. W. Brougher was born In Jen nings county, Indiana, January, 1870. He was educated, however, in Oakland, CaL, and at the Rochester Theological seminary, New York. He was given the degree of DrD. hy Carson Newman college of Tennessee. His first pastorate was in Peterson, N. J., where he built up the largest Baptist church In the state. For the past four years and. a half he has been In. Chattanooga .Tenn as pas tor of the Flrat Baptist church of that city. During that time nearly 600 peo ple united with the church. The con gregations: were always large and fre quently overflowed the auditorium. Ho had a strong hold upon the city and it was oniy alter, tne most strenuous effort to retain him that the church accepted his resignation and permitted him to come to Portland. He preached his ini tial sermons at the White Temple yes terday to. congregations that crowded the large auditorium, i The church was beautifully and elaborately decorated with palm, ferns and ut flowers. ' Tho music under, the direction of Mr. J. W. Belcher, was exceptionally fine and the entire service was arranged for the purpose of giving the new pastor a royal welcome. If the services yester day are any index to the future, a very prosperous and happy pastorate may safely be prophesied for Dr. Brougher and the people of the First Baptist church. He spoke last night on "The Religion for Today." He took for -his text. Acts 16:30, "What Muat I Do to Be Saved?" Also I Timothy, 4:8, "Godliness is profitable for the life that now Is and for the life to come." He said: ... ', ."' , ; "I believe In a first century Chrls tlanlty In a twentieth century church. You have the twentieth century church building. ,1 have never seen a more thoroughly equipped building for church work than this one. : With this plant the First' Baptist, church of Portland ought to become the most efficient and the most influential Baptist church on the Paclflo coast. It should be our pur pose to present the Christianity of Christ to meet the needs of the present hour. An up-to-date religion does not necessarily mean a new religion. It Is the old-time religion adapted to the problems of the present day. The mul tiplication table will never change. 1 ' "It is eternally true that two times two make four. But the multiplication table Is being used to solve the prob lems of present day life. The religion of Jesus Christ is eternally true. It has solved the problems of the past; It must deal with the problems of the present hour. I believe in a religion for today, tomorrow will take care of It self. We want a religion to live by, not a religion to die by. If we have a re ligion with which to live, it will meot the needs of the dying hour, but a dying religion is not worth much to a. living man. I never talk to people about get ting ready to die, it Is getting ready to EIRE LOSSES IN I903 BIGGEST ON RECORD The losses caused by fire in Portland during 1803 were greater than for any previous year of which there has been a record, acoordlng to the annual re port of Fire Chief Campbell, which was turned over to the printers today. -'" The actual losses amounted to 1911, 763.78, The nearest approach to this Is the record for 1884, when the losses to taled 8888.8X8.34. This year's losses, however,' were greatly reduced because of the Insurance paid on damaged stocks and. buildings, the sum total aggregat ing 383S,xoo.54, leaving a balance over the insurance of 3274,663.18.

So distaste ful was this marriage to Mrs. McKay that she refused to bear the name of her last husband and resumed that of Cook, the name of her first husband, by Which she has generally been known ever since. No children were born of either marriage.

"The life that men live here, they will live hereafter. Death is only a-tunnel. The train that goes In at one end of the tunnel Is the same train that comes out of the other end. When we strike death the life we are living here will be the same life we will live over yon der, In Its essential principles. The de mand of the age is for a saviour who is equal to every emergency In life. The religtonthat-Tounts-today-1- the re ligion that will enable me to meet ev ery experience that comes to me In the home, in the store, in the office, in the school, or wherever I may be. I believe Jesus Christ to be equal to the task. He is the all-surnclent Saviour. When the Jailer asked Paul, 'What must I do to do savear-ne suggested three things: "First, what must I do to be saved from- the ainr of the pastr 'Sin. is miss ing the mark it means failure; it means an unsatisfactory record. How, then, can I be delivered from the past? On one occasion I spoke Into a phonograph. When the record was reproduced I was asnamea or the speech. -1 asked my inenu ii us couid not destroy it. He said he could peel the record and give uiv unuiner cnance. i saia peel It, then. To leave such-a record behind me would ruin me. . With a little Instrument pro vided for the purpose he. peeled the recprd and gave me a second chance. The death of Jesus Christ has made it possible for God to forgive the sins of the past and give us another chance to ds wnat tie intended us to be. s "In the second place, Christ can save us irom tne power of present sin. T naye tne sins or the past forgiven is no assurance that we will not rmut thm- but God has promised the Holy Spirit as power xor tne present temptation. He not only saves from the past but He keeps one saved. He will deliver you irom tne power of an old habit The man who has been the slave of appetite pr paBipn not oniy needs to be forgiven for the past, but he needs power to con trol himself . for the present Prof. Drummond asked an Irish cabman what he would do If his horses were running away, and he could not control them, and a man was sitting by his slds who couio. ine jrisnman said'. 'I would give him the reins and let him hold them.' Mfln has learned that he cannot control himself. He who- turns the reins of his life over to Jesus Christ can walk the earth the master of himself, be cause Jesus Christ Is his master. "In the last place, he saves for tho future. If a man Is saved from his past and present sins, he need have no fear about the future.' When he crosses tho line that separates thla : life from tho next, the name of Christ, that saved him here, will welcome him there, and he shall spend eternity In a world without sin.- .; v , . . . - .

After six long hours of good, hard, hot work in the harvest-field, he gets his Xeet under a -.well-laden table: and woe unto the good things' thereon. The manner in which he stows away the fat of the land Is - no delusion. Yellow legged fried chickens, green peas, new potatoes, good cornbread, hunks of frenh butter, cherry pies and numerous other wholesome and substantial articles of diet disappear one after the other In rapid and regular succession. That meal Is well worth all the hours of hard work he has put in to earn It, and mauy a man who U1 regarded as being more fortunate than he, would pay hand somely for the hired man's capacity to enjoy such a meal. A stomach like his would be worth a fortune of any man's money, who suffers the constant and continuous pangs of dyspepsia.. Such a stomach every one can have, rich and poor alike, and for a price that is within the reach of all. - Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the dyspeptic's certain relief throughout the regions of the earth. They act in a nat ural, mild but firm, determined manner, and never fall to cure dyspepsia. They do the work of your, stomach for you and digest your food Just as your stom ach used to when It was well. You can prove this by putting your food , Into a glass jar with one of the Tablets and sufficient water and you will see the food dlaented In lust the same time am the digestive fluids of the stomach would ao it. xnat wm satisfy, your mind.
