Members of the various churches
were present last night at the First
M. E. church whore Rev. W. T. Eus
ter, the pastor, preached on the sub
ject, "How can a pluco where prohi
bition has become a law attain unto
continuous prosperity?" The text
chosen was from James 2, 14, "Can a
fountain send out sweet and bitter
water at the same place-"
He said In part: "James with his
80,000 members there In ancient Je
rusalem had somewhat'the same prob
lems to contend with as we have to
day. It Is easy to answer this ques
tion which he asks the people of his
time. A fountain can. send out bitter
and sweet water at the same time, but
always and Inevitably to the runlna
tlon and destruction of the fountain.
"A certain party was rejoicing that
a fight .occasioned by beer did not
take place In . his neighborhood or
. near his home, but such selfish nar
rowness will never make a town.
Whatever takes place In Pendleton
ought to be considered as vital to
every citizen of the place, for the
simple reason that this city belongs to
us all, and whatever helps the place
should be encouraged and whatever
hinders Its growth and prosperity
should be discouraged by all who re
side here. We should be as ambit
ious to help Pendi.ton as we are to
help our own home. We should do
as much to make It clean and respec
table as we do to keep clean our own
yard.
"I knew a certain very fine man,
a perfect gentleman. He had a fine
family, two boys and a girl. His
home life was perfect. No more gen
erous man ever lived. He was weal
thy and making plenty of money. HI
home was a place of culture and hap
piness.
"Some months ago he took to
drink. Living In a growing town In
Washington, he conceived the Idea of
going to Western Oregon to a place
which went dry on the 1st of July,
but a certain senator lives there called
Reddy, the author of the Infamous
Roddy bill, the sole object of which
was to foist the saloon out of Ore
gon cities nnd towns for all the fu
ture. This mnn exported to got nway
from his groat enemy, the open sa
loon, but, finding some friends there
who Introduced him to the boys, he
sr.nk buck ngaln and In a fit of des
peration nftor a sproe suddenly took
his own life before anyone standing
by could hinder. A sud responsibil
ity belongs to that place.
"Now there Is not the least hope
thnt Pendleton will ever have the
saloon back. Lane county voted over
400 more ngalnst the suloon this year
than two years ago. The same s true
of Wallowa county.
"The Pendleton program now Is a
'dry' one. All law abiding citizens
will work accordingly. Prohibition
does prohibit with all law abiding cit
izens. It will never prohibit with the
law defying and law breaking crim
inal classes, for all law breakers are
criminal.
"The mistake places have made has
been to begin with a money fine as
punishment for law breaking criminal
classes and end with Imprisonment.
Now they aro beginning to learn that
the Jail and prison are the cure that
should be administered at once, thus
saving costs and Increased crime, for
men who will deliberately set tho law
at defiance and sell liquor to minors
and Indians and sell contrary td law,
core not for a money fine. They will
quit only when Imprisoned. And It
Is wise for any city to see to It that
a cure Is effected at once.
"A law defying spirit and training
boys to line up to bars recently, used
for saloon bars and thus creating a
bad state are the dangers before us.
Now, It Is the duty of the city gov
ernment to arrange all ordinances In
line with the will of thb peoplo as de
clared In the new law, and when any
place has a city government that
neglects to do that It Is the duty of
her citizens to see to It that she gets
a new city government as quickly as
possible, for no city government has
any right to wait until If is forced to
do certain necessary things. , Pendle
ton can be prosperous altogether dry.
It cannot prosper partly dry and part
ly wet, and every man who argues
now for the old condition and thus di
vides the place Is neither a law abid
ing citizen nor a friend of the place.
All such argument Is Inimical to the
best Interests of the place.
"For any set of law breakers to
continue breaking the law for the sole
reason of making easy money and
laying up an argument against the
very law' all are to obey, when they
are the only reason why It does not
work perfectly, Is the Xlost hypocrit
ical thing man can ever do, and her
luw abiding citizens should see to it
thut Pendleton Is free from this curse
as quickly as possible.
"Yes, a fountain can fjrind forth bit
ter and sweet water at the same time,
but It always destroys the fountain,
Let us say to all the world, 'Come
drink at our fountain, for It Is sweet
and wholesome. It will Invigorate
and will give health to your boys and
girls and build you up in healthy
citizenship.'
"Do this, and the scene of 10-year-
old boys lining up to an old whisky
bur and of 12-year-old girls going
home drunk as the result of delib
erately plunned work to set the law In
disrepute will never be possible
again."
DITCHERS ARRESTED.
Poratcllo Men Accused of Butchering
Stolen Cattle.
A. M. Stangle and Henry J. Frey
were arrested at an. early hour this
morning by Sheriff D. T. Qulgley and
Deputy Sheriff Burnett McGarvey,
charged with the crime of grand lar
ccny, says the Pocatello Tribune. The
arrest was made at the slaughter
house of the Cold Storage Meat com
pany of this city, located about two
miles north of town along the Port
ncuf river, and it Is alleged that Stan
gle and Frey were guilty of slaughter.
Ing six head of beef steers to which
they could not read their title clear.
They were taken to the county Jail,
where they are being held to await
preliminary hearing tomorrow morn-inf.
Mr. Stangle Is proprietor of the
Cold Storage company, whose retail
shop Is on North Arthur avenue, ad
Joining the Black grocery, 'Frey Is
his cattle buyer. Both men are well
known and highly respected business
men of of the community, and there Is
everywhere heard hope that they
will satisfactorily clear themselves of
the charge made against them.
The arrest, says the sheriff, was
made on the strength of a suspicion
long entertained by members of the
sheriffs force, that there was being
slaughtered at the Stangle abattoir
beef which hod never bean regularly
purchased. When the sheriffs office
determined that for some time past
It has been the habit of the Cold Stor
age company to purchase beef cattle
from boys a.nd Indians, a watch was
sot to see If these suspicions of al-
lged Irregularities wore well ground- i
cJ. Lo.-t night Stangl,. and Frey were
discovered In the act of slaughtering
six 'head of steers bearing the brand !
of the Evans Brothers of Malad and
of Theodore Suanson, whose ranch
Is down the Portneuf river near the
edge of the Indian reservation. The i
sheriff says he has determined- that i
Evans brothers had not sold the
sheers to the meat company and that
Swanson had not disposed of the cat
tle bearing his brand. The arrest of
the butchers followed.
Raker's Export.
Hardly a man In this city realizes
what constitutes Baker's exports and
the quantity thnt Is shipped from thlsi
city. Few days pass that several cars
are not picked up at this station for
various points, says tho Baker City
Herald.
Today Frank A. Phillips loaded out!
four cars of fat cattle for Carsten
Packing company's plant at Tacoma,
and yesterday ' several carloads of
sheep were sent to Billings, Mont.
The brewing company shipped a
carload of Ire to Huntington today,
n nil ft htdrt rtenloi Viv iYia nil mo nt Tlerff '
from Portland loaded four carloads
of hides, besides shipping many bar
rels of tallow. Yardmnster Thomp
son when looking after the loading of
hides remarked, "This Is where the
natives get skinned, but not like most
skinning the pelts go to commercial
centers and are made Into commodi
ties for man's use."

above the average. In many of her
personal characteristics she resembles
her famous father. Slip will not ac
