Last Tflg-ht. Prof. N. N. Riddell's lecture in the M. E. church last night-on "Heredity and Pre-natal Culture," drew a crowded house. The professor is one of the pioneers on the American platform in handling this theme before mixed audiences and is doing untold good to humanity: by popularizing a subject on which knowledge is of such vital impor tance to the welfare of the race. " The speaker in opening dwelt on the great importance of men of science turn ing their attention to the study of hered ity as applied to man. It is the opinion of reformers and men who have studied the needs of suffering humanity that we will never be able to deal with crime and insanity till we turn our attention to the study of those laws that tend to make man better born. Every person is what they are from two causes: first, from inherent tendencies, and second, from education and force of environ ments. These are both of vital impor tance to the welfare of the individual, and neither can ever take the place of the other. To be well born is to receive the greatest gift within the power of man. ' Great men are born so or they never become great. A scientific explanation was given of the gradual nnfoldroent of. the child's brain from a single cell np to the com plete and complex brain. The active, strong characteristics of the parents became- the native marked traits in the child's character.' This law has received careful attention by many with results most satisfactory and have given us poets, musicians and. orators who were born so. If men would only give more attention to these things, we would not have eo many children that are mere ciphers with the rims rubbed out. Many apt illustrations were cited show ing why people were what they were. The mother of Napoleon had a strong love for battle and went into the thickest of the fray and most bloody conflicts and before Napoleon was 10 years old he was found on the battle field. Italian beauties nearly all conform to the one ideal type, the Madonna, a likeness of which occupies the walls of nearly every home in Italy, has made a vivid impres sion on the brain of the mothers of this fair land, with the result as we know on the offspring. The time will yet come, the speaker thought, when none will be allowed to marry until they are educated on the laws of heredity, nor will any be granted this privilege who have criminal or idiotic tendencies. Inclosing the Epeaker urged the im portance of a life of social purity as equally binding upon man as woman The young man can go astray, sow bis wild oats and when he has disgraced everything that is pure and holy in his manhood and then repent and society will give him its sweetest smile. If woman is treated with severity when she has made- a mistake, then let her brother suffer a like condemnation. If two sinners have gone astray let them suffer a like condemnation at the hands of society, as they must at the judgment bar of God, until the kind hand of mercy shall reclaim them both. Tonight the professor will lecture on "Love, CourtBhip and Marriage," and close his address with a double wedding. For Home-Seekers, An effort is being made to reclaim some of the arid lands between Celilo and Umatilla. A large tract of fine laud has been opened up by the Bailey Ditch Company, which has about nine miles of ditch completed, and water covering about 2000 or 3000 acres. They will rent these tracts to persons who wish them, and furnish plenty of water for one half of the produce raised. The lands are on the Columbia river, a few miles above Coyote station, and the paBt season the company has cultivated about 100 acres, and has raised some of the finest garden truck that ever grew in this section of the country ; and for fruit-raisers the climate and soil cannot be excelled. Transportation and freight rates to all desirable points for market are reasonable and fair. Can ship to the Sonnd over the Northern, or into Montana over the Great Northern, or Spokane over the O. R. & NY The outcome of the enterprise will be watched with a great deal of interest Further particulars can be had by ad dressing the Bailey Ditch Company at Umatilla, or at 508, East Oak street, The Knights of Pythias held an elec tion of officers last evening, and- the fol lowing gentlemen were chosen to serve for the ensuing term : L E Crowe, C C ; E B Dutur, V C ; LS Davis, Prelate; H H Riddell, M of W; WE Walthers, M of E ; L Lane, M of F ; D W Vause, K ofR&S; W W Smith, M at A.
