When the Methodists dedicate
their splendid new church on Sunday
thcy will possess one of the finest
houses' of worship In eastern Oregon
an.! n most satisfactory feature will
lie the fHCt that the property will be
free from debt. Under the rules of
the Methodist Episcopal church no
church building can be dedicated un
til nil debts upon the building have
been removed.
This being the case the local
churchmen have had the enormous
task of raising 130,000 with which
to pay for their new building and lo
cation. By Sunday morning this will
he all raised or provided for In tho
shops of contributions not yet paid
in fulL
HKtorv -of the New Church.
The movement for the erection of
the new church Is one that has been
on ever since the arrival of Rev.
Robert Warner In Pendleton. H
came In September, 190.', and during
the winter of that year a subscrip
tion was started for the purpose of
raising money with which to pur
chase a building site. The sum of
:n'i0 was raised that winter and tho
church bought the property ut the
iorncr of Main and Water streets
fo owned by the Knights of Pyth
ias. That property was held for three
years, when It was sold and the pres
ent church site purchased.
In March, 1906, ground for the
church building was broken and the
work of excavating for the basement
commenced. On September 11 last
the cornerstone of the new church
was laid with Impressive ceremonies
and on next Sunday the church will
be officially dedicated.
Committee In Cliurge.
In tho work of financing and oth
ers 1st providing for the work of erect
ing the new church much enrnest and
patient work has been done by Fastor
Warner and by the members of the
trustees ond building committee.
The trustes of th church at pres
ent are as follows: R. L Oliver, B.
K Conn, J. B. Mumford, John L.
Stockman, George R. Roberts, T. D.
Oliver, F. M. Oliver, W. II. Rish and

of R. L. Oliver, Geary Klmtircll, R. E.

L. Roberts, F. M. Oliver and J. H.
Mumford.
Since the arrival of Rev. Warner
In the city the membership of the
church has grown from 100 In 1902
to 3011 nt this time. This pi in has
been made In spite of the fact that
many members of the church have
left the city. The congregation Is now
a strong and enthusiastic one and
with the new church now In readi
ness the organization will doubtless
make still further gains. Rev. Rob
ert Warner succeeded Rev. John
V'Ren In 1902.
Historical Sketch.
The church life and work of Pen
dleton commenced In tho summer of
1871. when the Rev. H. B. Lane,
member of tho Willamette confer
ence, preached to a class of six mem
bers at the old court house building
on Main street. These meetings were
continued at Irregular Intervals un
til 1874, when tho chnrge was at
tached to the East Oregon and
Washington conference, generally
termed the Walla Walla conference.
That year (1874) Mr. Lane secured
a lot on Thompson street and com
menced tho work of building a
church. Rev. Mr. Lane was succeed
ed that fall by the Rev. Columbus
Derrick, who completed the small
church In 1878.
The next protestant church that
commenced preaching In Pendleton
was the Episcopal, the Rev. Lemuel
Wells, aftcwards bishop, commenced
preochlnj here In 1872. They soon
commenced the erection of a church
building likewise. It was opened for
religious services In 1875. The same
year the Methodist church building
was dedicated and opened.
Tholr church was opened for serv
ice a little earlier In the year, but
though the Episcopal dedicated and
opened their church building for
services a few months earlier than
the Methodists, the Methodist church
was tho first church to preach the
gospel in Pendleton.
The Methodist church was enlarg
ed to Its present size In 1882.
The names of the members of the
first board of trustees of the M. E.
church in Pendleton were as follows:
j, J. Lee, James Turner, William Lee
and Ell Gilliam.
The list of pastors who have served
the church are as follows, and In the
order In which thev are here named:

Cascade Locks, Ore, May 30.
To Our Yards: We are In receipt
of the following advices from one of
the coal companies, which we are
'ending you for your information
nii'l which you can 'give out to the
public as they may Inquire for coal.
After referring to the balance of
orders from 1906, the coal company
gos on to sny as follows:
"These orders we will take care of
Just as soon as we can possibly do so,
but us to acceptance of additional or
ders for your points, would say they
could only he accepted subject to
our ability to fill, und we could not
give you any assurances that we

This means that there is no coal
on the line of the Union Pacific that

You will remember that a few days

Is Believed by Both Sides That
Taking of Testimony Will Begin
on .Monday Morning.
Boise, May 31. The new panel,
which filled all the available space
In Judge Wood's court when the
Haywood trial was resumed today,
was the best appearing yet summon
ed. Apparently the protest of the de
fense had weight, as farmers no
longer constituted a majority, but
there is a goodly sprinkling of la
boring men, merchants and mechan
ics. The Judge Is trying to hold the
attorneys down to the necessary ques
tioning In order to complete the Jury
by Saturday night.
One quarter of the new panel ap
plied to the court to be excused, al
leging disqualifications, but Judge
Wood ruled sternly against them
nnd only a few succeeded In evading
service.
It is believed by both sides that
the Jury will be sworn in Saturday,
and the taking of evidence will be
gin next week. That the prosecu
tion Is certain of this Is shown by the
fact that telegraphic summonses have
been sent to all witnesses now out
side of the jurisdiction of court to
be on hand Monday morning.
The session, which was devoted en
tirely to theexaminatlon of talesmen,
was unmarked by any sensational de
velopments.. The first venireman called was J.
Robinson, with whom Steunenberg
hoarded while governor. Robinson
sold he would give a fair verdict and
had but a trifling opinion of the

defense peremptorily challenged Har

Against Ituce Suicide In Closing.
Lansing, May 31. In the presence
of 12,000 people today President
Roosevelt paid a glowing tribute to
the "Man who works with his hands,"
which was the title of his address.
The occasion was the celebration of
the fiftieth anniversary of the found
ing of Michigan Agricultural col
lege, the first agricultural college
ever founded lr. In the United States.
The president was in good health
and spirits and spoke eloquently up
on the subject of manual labor and
practical education. He said In part:
"The Man Who Works."
The fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of this college is an event
of national significance, for Micht
gan was the first state in the union
to found this, the first agricultural
college In America.
The nation is to be congratulated
on the fact that the congress at
Washington has repeatedly enacted
laws designed to aid the several
states in establishing and maintain
ing agricultural and mechanical col
leges. I greet all such colleges, through
their representatives who have gath
ered here today, and -bid them God
speed in their work. I no less heart
ily invoke success for the mechani
cal and agricultural schools; and I
wish to say that I have heard partic
uluily good reports of the Minnesota
Agriculaural High school for the way
In which It sends its graduates back
to the farms to work as practical
farmers.
Praises Schools.
As a people there is nothing in
which we take a juster pride than
our educational system. It Is our
boast that every boy or girl has the
chance to get a school training: and
we feel it Is a prime national duty to
furnish this training free, because,
only thereby can we secure the prop
er type of citizenship In the average
American.
Our public schools and our col
leges have done their work well, and
there Is no class of our citizens de
serving of heartier praise than thj
men und women who teach In them.
Nevertheless, for at least a genera
tion we have been waking to the
knowledge that there must be addi
tional education beyond that provid
ed In the public school as it Is man
aged today.
'Jur school system has hitherto
been well-nigh wholly lacking on the
side of Industrial training which fits
u man for the shop nnd the farm.
This is a most serious lack, for no
one can look at the peoples of man
kind ns they stand at present with
out reallsrlrg that Industrial training
Is one of the most potent factors In
national development.
Wo of the United States must de
velop a system under which each in
dividual citizen shall be trained so as
to be effective Individually as an
economic unit, and fit to be organ
ized with his fellows so that he and
they can work In efficient fashion to
gether. This question Is vital to our futur-3
progress, and public attention should
be focused upon It. Surely It is emi
nently In accord with the principles
of our democratic life that we should
furnish the highest average Indus
trial training for the ordinary skilled
workman.
The Soldiers of Private Life.
But It Is a curious thing that In In
the Engles' carnival.
According to Prof. Driscoll, he may
return to Pendleton later, but scarce
ly expects to do so. He has been
leader of the Eagles' band since last
fall and was engaged to remain until
October, but secured his release In
order to accept the engagement with
the Hotel Portland orchestra.
Thus far no successor to Prof. Drls
coll as leader of the Eagles' band has
been selected and it Is not known yet
who. If any one, will direct the band
during the coming summer.
Prof, and Mrs. Driscoll expect to
leave on train No. 5 tonight.
AT LANSING
dustrial training we have tended to
devote our energies to producing high
grade men at he top rather than In
tho ranks. Our engineering schools,
for instance, compare favorably with
the best In Europe, whereas we have
done almost nothing to equip the pri
vate soldiers of the Industrial army
the mechanic, the metal-worker,
the carpentei.
Indeen, too often our schools train
away from the shop and the forge;
and this fact, together with the
abandonment of the old apprentice
system, has resulted In such an ab
sence of facilities for providing
trained Journeymen that In many of
our trades almost all the recruits
among the workmen are foreigners.
Surely this means that there must
he some systematic method provided
for training young men in the trades,
and that this must be co-ordinated
with the public school system.
No industrial school can turn out
a finished Journeyman; but it can
furnish the material out of which a
finished Journeyman can be made,
lust as an engineering school fur
nishes the training which enables Its
graduate speedily to become engi
neers. Cannot Shirk Dulles.
Speaking of the need of higher
household and home Ideals, on which
he Is an enthusiast, the president
said:
Do not misunderstand me. I have
not the slightest sympathy with
those hysterical and foolish crea
tures who wish women to attain to
easy lives by shirking their duties.
I have as hearty a contempt for
the woman who shirks her duty of
bearing and rearing tha children, of
doing her full housewife's work, as
I have for the man who Is an Idler,
who shirks his duty of earning a liv
ing for himself for his household, or
who is selfish or brutal toward his
wife and children.
