I MODERN CHRISTMAS DISCUSSED BY PREACHERS OF PORTLAND Chlongo has again come to the front but thla time ft Is not Chicago univer sity that speaks. Rev. Melbourne P.

The day Is no longer a religious festival; the guts htve no real meaning or significance of the occasion; the season is merely one of commercialism and cannot be com pared to Thanksgiving day as a re ligious day. .-. t Protests against the present methods of Christmas celebration are not entire 'y a new thing and the ministers of the city have touclrf'a upon the-subject in public and thought over It In. private. As a. rule they agree wlfh Dr. Boynton concerning the paganiam of the day and thnlk there ehould be a reform of feet nig though not aa abolishment of ake day. , Rev. A, E.

Taylor Put on Rail road Commission Kastcrn Oregon Is in . the tails of a fuel famine owing to a car or motive power shortage on the O. R. N., and people .are experiencing severe prlva tlona in many Instances in Pendleton as a result of toe failure of the railroad to deliver eoal f rom-the eaaturn mlnaa or to haul wood from the mountains to supply the demand in the city. Judge Stephen A. Lowell of -Pendleton, who Is here to attend the meeting of the Irrigation committee at the- board of trade tomorrow night, discusses the fuel situation in his home city and tells of the effect It will have on railroad legislation at tbe coming aeaalon. In cidentally he says that the Umatilla county delegation la heartily In favor of the railroad commission . bill . ptatposed by the Portland chamber of commerce; that the county will Vote for the crea tion of a railroad commission and ask for railroad regulation at -the hands of ths commission once. It Is created and appointed by the governor. So confi dent are the people of that eounty that the proposed . bill, or one practically aim liar, will pass that they have already picked upon T. O. Taylor, ex-senator from Umatilla and one of the leading hardware merchants of the .county, as tha eastern Oregon member of the com mission.

The tmphasla that the Sunday echoola and the day schools alike-put on It would lead any heathen coming here to think that Christmas was ths advent of Santa TJlaus, not the advent of Christ.
