al with the judge in cases of high

The cost of living continues to in
crease, and the price of necessities
has gone skyward by such leaps and
bounds that a fellow has to pause
occasionally and look about, to
make ture that he is not in a trance
from which he will awaken t find
things as they "used to be.:' With
tbe constantly advancing p ices,
on" is constrained to put the old
question of th pessimist, but in a
uew form, "Is life worth theliving?"
There are two classes of people
that will kill any sort of a busings
establishment in a mighty short,
time lovers and loafer-. Very
few people care to interiupt a hon
eyed tete-a-tete in order to get at
tention it is easier to go elsewher
to buy your goods; reither does one
caie to crcwd and jostle past naif a
dozen loafers to get to ti e counter
tube waited upon. Either class
means certain death to trade.
The Independent telephone pa
trons have been wondering why, in
calling for a Dumber, they s? often
of late got response from tbe wrong
party, and it is we'll to explain that tfi
the condition is due to tbe changes
that are being made in the system
just now. All over town men have
been busy for weeks tak'ng down
the single wires and installing the
cable service instead, which will
provide a much better service than
the old, when completed. Changes
are constantly being made on tbe
switch-board to correspond to the
outside charges, and while you
may be yourseif today, by tomor
row you are lia1 le to be the "other
fellow," so far as numbers go, and
the central girls ha.ve troubles
enough as a result, without being
eassed" over toe wires because they
make a mistake now and then.
How do you think you' would eigoy
their position, under the circum
stances?

The members of the local lodge

Dr. Manion, of Portland, a high
official of the order, met the, local
insurgents and explained the fund,
but after quietly hearing his ad
dress, the local lodge, which is one
of the strongest in the state, passed
resolutions demanding tbe imme
diate repeal of the law. Some of
the members went eo far as to re
solve themselves into a committee

lodges in the ttate. The 12,000
members of the order in Oregon

pel Mission Friday night, says Satur
day's Albany Herald, and at the end of
tbe meeting many had received their
PentecoBt. The sight of men and wo
men lying at full length upon the floor
and muttering unintelligible gibberish
seemed to the outside observer senseless
n the extreme, and almost pitiful. While
those ''under the power" were talking in
the "tongues," their whole body would
be convulsed with tremblings of a ner
vous character. During the meeting
the worshipers locked the door to keep
disturbers away. After those wno have
been under the power tome out of their
trance-like stale, they explain what was
the meaning of their speech ia ths strange
tongue. Friday nighttb.9 prevailing lan
gnage was said to have been Chinese.
