' BULL RUN FOREST FIRE EXTINGUISHED 'The foret fire which has endangered the woods of the Bull Run reserve, and Incidentally the water supply of -Portland, has been extinguished. It Is believed that some careless fish erman strayed Into the reserve where no one Is allowed to go, and that these men left campflres ' which on Saturday put the whole tract in danger. The fire was discovered on' the south fork of Bull Run, and all the seven men em ployed to watch the reserve were soon at work. Teaterday afternoon a tele phone message stated that the blase bad finally been put out. , Aa long aa trees and dense under growth cover the ground there will al ways be plenty of water In Bull Run during tha summer. Were the treee burned off. ..however, the snow would melt early- tn -the - spring." and ' f ' the latter part of the summer there would be little water coming through the pipe line.

Almost Inexhaustible Quantities of the black aand can be found along the Columbia river, accord ing to a report made by Dr. Day after careful research.

Hill Gives Interesting Lecture on Subject to Large and Ap preciative Audience. ILLUSTRATES, HIS WORDS BY MAP AND POINTER Tells Why Americana Retuso to Seo America, rirrt Not Because "of Natural Scenery but on Account of Human Associations. ' The aervlcea at th First Presbyterian church yeaterday were full of intereat. The congregations 'both morning and VVV.I.US OTVIV, 11 J UUgVt Last evening the topic was "Samson A Study of Geographical Background." In connection with his craning sermons Ir. Hill uses a map and pointer, lndi eating the . localities referred to and endeavoring to make the characters real by placing them In their geographical setting. In beginning Ills sermon the speaker said: 1 understand that a new alogan haa been adopted by our Paclflo oast hosts who are fighting for commercial supre macy. - It ts 8ee America First' Why should ' Americans cross the Atlantic, spend their money traveling . through England and Franc and Swltaerland, when here at home are the Rockies and the Tellowetone and tha ToaemlteT Our mountains surpass . the Alps in sublimity. Our Columbia is far superior to the Rhine In .beauty; there la a glacier In Alaska as large a all of the glaciers In Swltserlajid put together. Why, then, will Americans travel abroad before see ing the superior natural beautl of their own land Why T Because of the human associations. v "Every year thouaands make their way to a little town In Warwickshire, England, which has no greater scenlo attractions than a hundred American towns, s But they want to aee the place where Shakespeare lived and lored and wrote his Immortal playa. "Every winter multitudes' journey to Italy,- which ta not a whit more beauti ful than the valleys of Oregon. . Why? In order to. see the masterpieces painted and carved by the artiste and to visit the homea of popes and generals and famoua . writers. The Holy latnd has few natural beauties, for It Is a land of rocka and dry ravines and stretches of sand. But people by the thouaands go there because David and Solomon and Jesus lived there." Dr. Hill then described the valley where Samson lived. An Interesting ac count waa given of tha ruins of Oeser. where an old Canaanlte city stood and where in Crusader times stood the fs-4 mous. Mount . Glsart. JSamaon'S town was at the top of a valley alope over looking the fields and cities of the Phil istines, the relentless enemies of Israel. In. referring to the career of Samson, the speaker referred .to the Thaw mur der ease as an Instance of a young man with every opportunity for uaefulnees In the world flinging away his privi leges and plunging Into a life of self- Indulgence with Its inevitable results Dr. Hill announced that the illustrated lectures . on Palestine would . be given on successive Sunday evenings In Sep tember and that admission would be by ticket Some of the tickets will be placed down town during each preceding week and the remainder wui ne pur trlbuted at th morning service. ' BISHOP THOBURN - SPEAKS. At dresses Aadtoaee T. BE, tt A. en - Th Christ Ufa, "Of 100,000.000 people In India, fully 10,000,000 seldom have more than . one good meal a day, and never know what tt means to eat until their hunger Is satisfied, and fully 100,000.000 will lie down tonight with no covering save the bare branches of a tree or the dome of the sky." This statement was made at the T. M. C, A. men's meeting yester day afternoon by Bishop Thoburn. a missionary on a horn vacation from India. , ' Bishop Thoburn was speaking on The Christ Life." He declared that the Chrietlife in sympathy to the poor, the orphan, the sick and the distressed. He also aald l-that the Nasarene was different from the popular Ideal of today. Instead of frightening people with a halo around his hrad he looked like men of today and became tired like them. None were afraid and he made it hie mission to minister to the wants of the poor. ON COMMUNION. Or. WUsoa Preaches ea the Symbolism of th Service. Dr. Clsrence True Wilson, In his ser mon at Grace Methodist Episcopal church yeaterday morning, dlsoussed the symbolism of the communion service. He said, in part: "Thla service looks three ways: ' It is a memorial. It knows forth the Lord's death. It la a means of grace; ia it not the communion of the body and blood of Christ? It ia a prophecy; Te do proclaim the Lord's death till he come.' He Is not always to be the suffering Savior, but tha world s triumphant lord. "It la also a thanksgiving service be cause during its administration they sang hymns of pralae and thanksgiving from the beginning. And It la a very fitting thing to offer pre Is to Ood while w engage In this service." DISCIPLES LIKE CABINET. Br.

Dr. House delineated the character of eaoh of the It. showing that aa a body they were charaoterlatic of humanity -aa a whole. The minister aald that the 41 disci plea were given divine power for their work. Otherwlae they could not have accomplished It. No body of men, said he, ever undertook such a colossal task as they. In revolutionising society, la overcoming casta, and error they did more than the men who have burrowed the tunnels, leveled the mountains and filled up the valleya. He ahowed that some of them died before their work was accomplished, and la closing ex horted his hearers te die, too. If neces sary, for principle, as, for example, thouaands of Ruaalaa patriots are doing today. -. THE PASSION PLAY. Br, . Bargeete Short BeUrar Zarar em th Bmsjeo to teigw -Andlsaee. Dr. V.

We are .com mercial and Industrial cannibals, devour ing each other without remorse. Our practical exemplification of religion pure and undeflled, is to rob the widow and the fatherless and to grap and keep everything in the world." . SPEAKS ON TRUTH. Bar. W.

"No one doubt that truth la com fortable and comforting," he continued. "Others are as comfortable la their views of truth as we are in oura. As to vary religious belief, to som It Is true, to others not true. When a man reads or hears something that changes his viewpoint he begins to feel uncomforta ble, because h doubts the truth of his position. He remains uncomfortable un til he haa passed through doubt to som deeper affirmation. Truth has not al tered, but th truth seeker's outlook has altered and he haa gained a pronounced eatlsfactlon."

They toe each other from the farthest seat of the splendid trap to the foremoet horse's back, with the graceful eaae of a twirl ing ball, and revolve Jrom each others' heads and shoulders to an upright posi tion upon the swiftly moving vehicle or horse. They paaa each other high In the air In twisting evolutions from wagon to horse and horse to wagon.
