llev. I. S. Knight, who is so well nnd
favorably known by Congregationalists
throughout the Northwest, has accepted
a call to the paetorate of the First Con
gregational church of Corvallis, and will
take up his residence there in the fall.
While Mr. Knight has always been con
sidered one of the most ablo ministers
on the coast, his friends havo never
known until recently that he is a poet.
However, since his poem "The Boys
Who Will Never Come" was published
in the Capital Journal last week, they
have no doubt of iiis talent in that line.
It is certainly a beautiful production
and not calculated, like most jingles
from amateur pens, to make the boys
decide they had rather have stayed in
Manila and faced the Filipinos than
have encountered eucIi doggerel.
Yesterday morning T. J. Driver and
Jos. Straus went out hunting in tho vi
cinity of 6-Mile taking with them their
two dogs, "Monday" nnd "Tuesday,"
the latter a half grown Pointer. Durinu
tho day Stums' dog saw a large rattle
snake coiled under a treo and immediate
ly made for it, but Mr. Snake was too
quick for him and struck at him with a
vengeance. Tuesday set up u howl and
soon began to show signs of the poleou
by swelling up. Nothing could be clone
for him, so Mr. Straus was compelled to
-boot him, lie yalqcd tho dog and re
gretted that was tho only thing io be
done. When Driver's dog saw the en
counter he too wanted to take a hand iu
the tight, and would have also had
snakes in his wool, had not one of the
men grabbed a gun and shot the rattler,
it was an immense reptile about the
length of ttio gun barrel, and they
brought home twelve rattles which wtte
taken from their prey.
Gov. T. T. Geer yesterday received a
letter from a Catholic priest, rector of a
congregation of that denomination in one
of the larger cities In Oregon, calling tho
attention of tho executive to the fact that
in some Instances returning volunteers,
members of the Second Oregon regiment,
have on display sacred vestments and
vessels, taken from the Catholic churches
iu the Philippines. He states that
these articles cannot be purchased iu the
market, that after they oro onto dedi
cated to the uso of the church they aro
always retained for audi use and are, to
the Catholic, sacred, and must, there
fore, have been taken from tho churches.
This, he states, la confirmed by volun
teers, who have acknowledged taking ar
ticles of this kind from churches in
towns captured by the American forces,
Tho writer urges Governor Geer to use
endeavor to have the hie articles in ques
tion returned to the church, where alone
they have value. Salem Statesman.
BARNS BURNED.
C. Clirlmnn nnd Srinn Ml OOO
Fire Till Morn Inc.
This morning about C o'clock when
Mr. Chrisman looked out of the window
of his residence on tho East Hill, he was
shocked to see flames bursting from the
largo barn near by ; but having no meana
of fighting the fire successfully tho only
thing to bo done was to let them take
their course and nttempt to save what
little the raging flames would allow to
escape them; it was nothing hut an at
tempt, however, for nothing but the
three horses could be cottcn out, nnd
these witii difficulty, one of them getting
burned slightly. The barn was one
which had been built by his sons re
cently at an expense of $300.
About twenty-five feet away was a
smaller barn which belonged to Mr.
Chrisman and this was soon in flames.
It began to look serious for the residence
which was not a great way off, but the
direction of the wind was in its favor,
preventing the fire reaching it.
Mr. Chrieman and his sons had just
got in their winter supply of hay, and he
says ho paid the last dollar on it yester
day, when this morning the destroyer
fed on it as if it had been placed there
for that purpose. In the bams were
also a buggy and sleigh, two sets of har
ness and other articles which would be
found in such a place. So that they es
timate their loss at about $1000, with no
insurance.
There is no clew whatever, to the ori
gin of the fire, and it started in a por
tion of the barn where they were not
wont to frequent. Tramps may have
set it, but Mr. Chrieman saya it is sel
dom they are seen about his place. At
any rate be its origin what it may, they
have suffered a great loss from it.
"WE MAY BE IN IT-"
Why Could Nut The Dalles Ite Made the
Termluns?
The "mysterious" Paul Mohr ib again
in our midst and as usual the railroad
stories follow in his wake. This time,
however, unless all signs fail, there is
something uore than rumor in the air.
The arrival here this afternoon of Sen
ator Turner, MesBrs. Harris and Evans,
all capitalists, seems to indicate that a
change is about to be made and the
portago road a sure go. They are to
meet Paul Mohr here, but what the
conference indicates can only be con
jectured. What Dalles people are most in
terested in is where the road will termi
nate. To ns this means much, and to
what extent it will effect The Dalles no
doubt rests with her citizens. Many
aro of the opinion that this place could
be made the terminus if a bridge were
to be built across the river. The nar
rows above the city would be just the
place to bridge over, for there will be
found natural abutments, and it would
sequire but about a 123-foot span.
Different opinions as to the cost have
been expressed by business men this
morning. While one eoya it would cost
$100,000, another places it at half that
amount, and one eays if Tho Dalles
could raise $30,000, he feels nssured the
company would see that the bridge was
put in and Tho Dalles made the termi
nus. Would it not be worth while looking
into the matter at once, for it surely
would be n great thing to the city. Let
a "push cluo" of citizens bo organized
and investigate the scheme. The charter
admits of the city bonding itself for $50,
000 to construct a bridge across the
Columbia. Tho acceptable time may
have arrived. Who knows? It is worth
Investigating at any rate.
EFFECT OF THE RAIN.
j Inquiries Cono Fiuin Uutxldo Concern
ing; vroiis or xnai rccuuu.
Telegraphic inquiries have been re
ceived in Pendleton asking what effect
has been wrought on the crops by the
recent rains, and the extent of tho rain.
The interest iu tins section on tho part
of the people in other places, especially
iu Portland, is largely centered in the
wheat production, inasmuch as Umatilla
county produces on the average twenty
five per cent of wheat of Oregon an
nually, The conceusuB of opinion hero un
doubtedly is this :
There has pb yet been no injury to the
1899 crop by the two raine of the pree
ent month, that is, not any injury that
need betaken into account, for it is com
paratively nothing. Tho benefit to gar
den truck probably will offset the alight
damago done the wheat.
The first rain was followed by ideal
weather, and thegraln was bo thoroughly
dried and so quickly that the quality of
the berry was not injured in the leaet.
The second rain wob heavier, and the
damp, cloudy weather of longer duration,
so that the stacks wero wet more thor
oughly than the first time. But, it ap
pears to be the general opinion that
there. ' was no damage done, for the
weather has now cleared up, aud the
prospects are for good weather from this
on.
Wero morj rains to come, the effect
would be problematical, end a contin
uance of the conditions that havo ob-
j tained for tho past ten days would not
be pleasing to the wheat man, buyer or
eeller. The whole situation may bo
Bummc.l up in these words : Good con
ditions from now on will see tho 1899
crop gathered with no injury from rains.
More rains will almost inevitably dam
age I he grain and lower the grade of the
crop on the market. East Oregonian.
Tlio Minuter' Oood-llye.
A report reached the Clarion office tho
j first part of the week that a minister of
tone of our near-by villages took perina
ncnt leavo of his congregation a few
' Sundays since in the follov.ini: pathetic
manner :
"Brothers and Sisters I came to say
good-by. I don't think God loves this
church because none of yon ever did.
I don't think you love each other be
cause I never marry any of you. I don't
think you love me because you have not
paid me my salary. Your donations are
moldy fruit and wormy apples, 'and by
their fruits ye shall know them.'
"Brothers, I am going to a better
place. I have been called to be chaplain
of a penitentiary. Where I go ye can
not come noa, but I go to prepare a
place for you, and may the Lord have
mercy on your souls. Good-bye."

"You'll get run in," said the Dalles
pedestrian to the cyclist without a light.
"You'll get run into," responded the
rider as he knocked the other down and
ran up his spine.
"You'll get run in, too," eaid the
nightwatch as he stepped fiotn behind
a post and seized the bicycle.
Just then another scorcher came
along without a light, so Phirman bad
