When Chief of Police Slover stepped
me front of. Gipsy Smith's platform
night and said a few words the
F vast crowd in the tabernacle gave him
great SDDlause ' and then listened more
attentively, if possible, than before, to
the various speakers. " - "
- "I Just want to say that I've invested
all I have In thls business," he said.
"it pays. -i It pays so well that Just
the' Interest -keeps you In this" life, and
you get the principal by and by."
That was all he said, but those few
words seemed to bring the audience
closer to the speaker's platform; seemed
tox place the crowd in a more receptive
mood, since one of themselves, an ordi
nary msn and not an ordained minister,
stepped before them and told them that
salvation pays. '. v.: . - -,
Gipsy Smith took for his text the
story of the ' deliverance of Paul and
gilas from Jail when an earthquake tore
the. doors from tLeir hinges. And when
the Jailer drew his sword and would
slay himself, asking in anguish what
he should do to be saved, Paul said to
bhu, ".Believe." . ;.'.,
. Studied lert 15 Tears.
The evangelist said he had studied
On this text IS years before he Oared
preach from It, Hej said he had read
commentaries, oiu uearu icuuuin
preached from it, but none, satisfied
blm; none brought out the truth of it,
but that he now felt that he was able
to bring out the truths that it eon
tained in an understandable manner.
if He said that to say "Believe In the
Lord Jesus Christ" to everyone would
not help them, lie said that Paul would
say when a man asked him what he
niltht do to be saved, that he must feel
his moral pulse, and If he was a drunk
ard ho must assuredly cast out the lust
for drink. That, he said, was the kind
;Ofr believing that got results. Merely
fto believe- that U was wrong to drink
would save no one. The proper faith is
lacking, he said.
The gypsy told several stories of con
versions, one as a direct result of a
sermon preached from the same text in
Seattle. He had received a letter yes
terday ho said, telling him that a
; woman who bad come forward and had
cast out her sins and did believe, was
Ui.ppy with her husband, whom she had
Ictt io many another man.
..-; Pride Is Great Sin.
The evangelist- said pride . was one
of ths greatest of sins. Pilae, he said,
was as damning as drink, lust, adultery.
H And there are many degrees .of pride,
JjWglnt. said pride of face, pride of place,
"You want saving from your good
self as well as your bad' self," he said.
Gipsy Smith took occasion to de
nounce divorces. ; i
' "Your cheap state law Is not the law
Of God," he called it. "Don't you talk
about believing while you go through
a cheap divorce court. What's the good
of ail your Bibles, your missionary wori
in heathen lands, when In this country
there Is one divorce for every IS mar
riages? you must bow In holy rever
ence to uoa s marriage ue. .
. i The gypey referred to his wage, which
he said was modest and which was not
paid by local people. He said he could
make plenty of money if he so desired.
He said a lecture bureau In Chicago had
offered him $20,000 for a four months'
lecturing tour.' ' -

terday morning from a woman who
her red that he pray for her husband, 1
The letter said the woman and her hus
band had come to Portland several years
ago In poor circumstances, but that they
bad since become wealthy, and 'with
wealth' came unhapplness. .Her. hus-
. band preferred the soolety of another
woman. She asked that he pardon her
for signing her name anonymously.

A large number came forward at the
close of the meeting and went to the

Fort Stevens, Or., Nov. 4. Hunting
wild geese and ducks at Fort Stevens
Is the regular pastime of many of the
officers, enlisted men and citizens of
Fort Stevens and Hammond, Or. A
large lake known as Swash lake, has
been converted Into an ideal hunting
preserve by the liberal use of Wheat
and other grain foods calculated to at
tract wild geese. f This preserve Is-lOf
cated within a half mile of the beach
and within a Bhort distance of the gov
ernment Jetty. Wild geese and ducks,
tired from their long flight over the
Columbia, where they are buffeted, by
the winds that blow up the 'river, have
a tendency to alight either at the lake
or on the tide flats in the vicinity
thereof. To protect the game from
indiscriminate - slaughter,1' a special
mounted guard la detailed to patrol the
stretch of beach and around the out
skirts of the lake with authority to
prevent all but those who have special
permits from hunting'. . When a heavy
storm Is raging, the hunters make large
hauls of feathered game. '
Despite all precautions taken by the
armed' guard, some of the small boys
from Hammond escape his 'Vigilance
and manage to get a few ducks and
geese. - One of them recently while
hunting discovered a dead duck that
had probably been killed a week, before.
Taking the duck, he , placed It in the
most natural position possible on top
of a sand heap,: with, Its bead arched
back and partly hid In bis back feath
ers as If sleeping. That same after
noon one of the soldiers, armed only
with a 23 caliber rifle, much to the
amusement of his comrades started on
a' hunting excursion. ' -
Spying the duck on a distent sand
dune, he proceeded to crawl over the
intervening stretches of v wet sand,
When within firing distance, he biased
away. The 'duck' never moved. Elated
over his success, he rushed forward
and picked up bis ; feathered prize.
Prnudlv nwfnirtiifl it avai iia Hhnntdi
rhe marched Into the posC displaying
his mallard to all observers. "Boys,
he said, "I was over a hundred yards
away when I fired. , She- never budged
an inch when I hit her. Talk about
a peach of a shotl Well, I guess!"
He then departed to the kitchen for
the purpose of having bis, duck pre
pared lor supper. ; ;
The denouement came about IS rain
utes later. " A wild eyed, disheveled
cook ' was . seen rushing out of the
kitchen, ' holding one - hand tightly
clasped ' Wver his nose, the other arm
extended to Its full length, the duck
dangling therefrom. He - shouted
boarsely: "Where's the quartermaster?
I'll see whether any roughnecked re
cruit is allowed to slip over a gag like
this on mei ' i ll nave blm put in the
guard house!"
It was only after considerable dif
floulty that the cook was calmed suf
flciently to grasp the humor of the sit
uatlon and to appreciate the fact that
the Joke was not altogether on him.
fEVER AGAIN WILL TWO

TOWNS
FARMERS
. Sneelal Innrnal I ''
Boise, Idaho. Nov. 14. A compromise
naa Deen reached In the bitter county
seat war In the new county, of Lewis.
carved out of Nes Perce county by the
last legislature. Tb two contestants
for the, county .seat were Ilo and Vol!
mer, twin towns located but five miles
apart. - Lewis 13 an ' agricultural coun
ty and it was realised that the farmers'
vote would decide the issue. Both
towns, therefore, made strong bids for
the favor of the farmers, but the latter
decided to settle the question among
themselves without interference. Ac
cordingly they called a great mass
meeting In the country, announcing that
residents of the two. towns would not
be admitted. As a result of this meet
lng it was decided, to locate the county
seat midway between the two towns, at
the site of a baseball park, where the
teams of the two rival towns have
been in the habit of contesting, ' ,
MEN NARROWLY ESCAPE
AS LODGING HOUSE BURNS
'(Special to The Journal.) f
La Grande, Or., Nov. S4. Three-men
were dragged from, rooms in a cheap
lodging house Just before daylight and
saved from cremation In a fire of mys
terious origin, that was -well under way
when , discovered. - Alfred Barnhlll

taken out of a window. Loss $3000.
TRI-C0U1ES MAY GET
LARGE WHEAT CROPS
Sherman, Gilliam , and Morrow coun
ties will have large wheat crops next
summer If weather conditions . are at
all favorable. The acreage sown this
fall is much larger than usual and the
best of weather has favored .these sec
tlons up to this time sine the grain
was put In the ground.
This report was brought to Portland
by C. C. Clark, president of the Arling
ton Commercial club, who- is a Port'
land visitor and who Is enthusiastic In
the tri-county development movement
Mr. Clark says that the merchants in
that part of the country have decided
to carry the farmers for the season and
as a result thereof the wheat growers
have, put in about ten times as much
wheat as they wojild have done had
the merchants held out for business on
a cash basis only.
"Last year," Mr. Clark explained.
'the merchants adopted the cash basis
policy and as a result many were
crovded. Now that the farmers see
that they will be assisted, they have
put additional acreage under cultivation
and in consequence these three coun
ties will have a record wheat crop If
weather conditions are at all favorable.
So far the weather has been ideal for
wheat growing and the farmers are far
ahead of the usual program. -- Every
thing looks promising, Indeed."
