SUNDAY MOKN'INC;. IMTOIIKK 21. IfW 4 ' THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON. CUPPER AGAIN ANSWERS FINLEY Engineer Objects to Giving Government 47,000 Good Oregon Acres -'That a compromise said to have been entered into between the proponents ofitne Roosevelt Hird Refuge bill and the irriga tion Interests of Hums does not warrant the state In giving the 47.000 acres of Malheur ' lake bed lands to th federal govern ment is the assertion of Percy A. Cupper, state engineer. In a state ment yesterday in opposition ti the bill: The Hanley and the Swift-Corbett interests. Mr. Cup per asserts, were forced to com promise to protect their personal property. Compromise Forced Mr. Cupper says in reply to statements attributed to V. L. Finley: V. I. Finley, according to press dispatches, argues that we adopt the Roosevelt bird refuge measure because it, is the result of a compromise between v the llanley and other irrigation in terests of Burns and the Swift Coibett interests of Portland and the proponents of the measure. It is obvious that these interests compromised in order to save their property from the effects of tha very drastic measure which was . originally proposed. Kven though the William llanley interests found it necessary for the protection of their personal property to agree to the compro mise measure. It does not seem, to follow that the people of Oregon should give 4 7,Of;0 acres of land to the federal government wb'rrh the measure proposes to do. Most I Tillable "At least 30.000 acres of this area is suitable for agricultural purposes and thousands of tons of hay were cut from these lands this season. Much of the land be longs to the state of Oregon and the proceeds from their sale, which would aggregate several hundred thousand dollars, should be added to the state school fund. "The advocates of the measure The Telephone Situation In the engineering of a telephone plant switchboards, conduits, cables, pole lines and general mechanical equipment we haye always tried to anticipate the. growth of a community and provide therefor by advance construction. This course has enabled us to more promptly comply with requirements for service with better construction and at .an ultimate . expense less than that involved in waiting to meet demands as they arise. In the war period we were unable to maintain this reserve plant, as the very things we needed for telephonerpurposes were required and neces sarily taken for government purposes. The demand for telephone service did not decrease arid our reserve facilities were practically absorbed in meeting it. As every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction follow ing the war have been yery acute and prolonged U an entirely unexpected degree. Unusual conditions are prevalent throughout the entire manufac turing, mercantile and! social world. The telephone industry has had to meet all the difficulties and handicaps of retarded production, distribution and transportation. - This advertisement is not meant to be one of apology, but one of explanation and even accomplishment. In the face of an unprecedented demand for telephone service in the last few months, hampered by the exhaustion of our reserve plant and difficulty in securing materials, we have added more telephones thus far this year in the State of Oregon than in any similar period of telephone history. U i ' In the State of Oregon, in the eight months ending August 31, Ave have added 6863 telephones. In the eight months ending July 31, 1917 before the war we gained 2655 telephones. . - - . " In the State of Oregon we have approximately 2600 unfilled appli cations for telephone service. A similar situation exists all oyer- the United States. We will continue to secure all the equipment possible, and the desires of the public will be met a3 soon as it is humanly possible to do so The Telephone Company regrets the inconvenience to -prospective subscribers. It is as anxious to give service as the patron is to receive it. The Company is doing all in its power to remedy conditions and furnish service in accordance with normal standards. The Pacific Telephony and Telegraph Company are now arcuinz that because ) these irrigation interests wcrs forced to an agreement on the compromise measure" to protect their persona T property, that the people of Oregon should accept the same without question. "The state lJWid board, com posed of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, now has full control over these lands and can handle them as seems b8t Tor the public Interest, and this board has strongly urged the defeat of this measure."

Bonesteele Motor Co. listl f Marion and Polk County Distributor P jgl Ferry and Commercial Streets Salem, Oregon lajl ' p In Matt. xvl. 18. 19. we find these words: "Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church And 1 will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever, thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt lqose on earth shall be loosed also in heaven." At another time when all the Apostles were assembled together He uses the same expression as is read in Matt. avifi. 18. "Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound also; in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose 3a earth shall be loos ed als in heaven." Still again in a most! striking manner we read in John fx. 21. 23. when Jesus wai speakifeg to His disciples: "Peace be to -Jou. As the Father hath sent Me. I also rend you. Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins ye shallforsive, they are for given them, and whose sins y shall retain, they are retained." "Plain, earnest, sincere language. He virtually says that the absolv ing and binding power which He has from the Father. He gives to His church to administer to tb needy.'for all-time. "Recc've ye the Holy Ghost", that you may import this Holy Spirit to souls lost in sin the sin from which I came to save the world. "If their sins are as scarlet, they shall be made as whita as snow; and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool-", This rower was not restricted to the Apostles, but was to be extended to their successors in the ministry for all time.. Sin will always be in the world and so thjfremedy for sin must airays be reund in the Church. As has ben aptly said: "it follows that forgiveness of' sin was ordinarily to be obtained through the ministry of th! Aoostles and their successors.! just as it was froia" them that! the people were to receive the word of God and the grace of bap tism. The pardoning power was a great prerogative conferred on the Apostles. Hut what kind of prerogative would it be ir each one could always obtain forgive ness by confessing to God secret ly in their rooms? Of what use would it be to give the keys to the Apostles which would open the treasures of God's grace, if every sinner could obtain .his ransom without applying to the Apostles? If I gave to you. dear reader, the keys to my house, authorizing yon to admit whom you please, that they might par take of the good things contained therein, you would conclude that I had done you a small favor if you discovered that everyone was possessed of a priate key. and could enter whenever ha pleased and without consulting you. If however, one is in a position where the services of a minister of penance cannot be obtained, and there is danger of death, a merciful. -God requires only a hearty sorrow for the sin joined with a desire of confession as j soon as practicable. God's laws bind only those who are abl to j fulril them.. Ordinarily, how-) ever, the power of forgiving sins j in the part of God's ministers, in-! volves the obligation of confass'on I on the part of the sinnr. The priest is the judge, and must ab solve the penitent and reject the impenitent. Hence we are not surprised when we rad in Actn XIX. 18, 'Many of them who be lieved came confessing and de-! clarlnr their deeds." Not infre-j quently we are told by someon" j that the Sacrament of Confession was not introduced into the Church until 1.200 years after the' time or Chr:t. Hut v.e read his-1 tory and find that the early fa-! thers of the Church arj quoted j again and again concerning the1 practice, we know such asser-i tions of the enemy of the Church'! are false. Confession is not easy. 1 and it would be a practical ini-i possibility to introduce such a j custom at such a time after! Christ. And one wc rd about the j payment tor confession. We wish j to say most emphatically that j there never was. there is not. ! and never will be any payment: for; the forgiveness of sins in the) Church. Ask any Catholic or re frj ta any Catholics of Instruc-' tions; and you will , readily see! that it would be considered an j abominable practice to every rr-. son. with common tease. ...
