The Church in Vacation.
'The Preacher's Assistant has
some pointed quotations on the
vacation church, or "giving the
devil a chance," as follows;
I will . come into thy. house in
the multitude of Thy tmercy ex
cept in August.
; The Lord . is , in His . holy
temple except in August.; Li
One 'thing iiave I desired of
the Lord, that I will seek after;
thatl may dwell- in the house of
the Lord all the days .of my life
except in August.
God is known in her palaces
for a refuge except in . August.
How amiable are Thy taber
nacles except in August.
My soul longeth, yea, even
fainteth for the courts of the Lord
except in August.
Preach the Gospel to every
creature except in August.
Preach the Word. Be instant
in season and out of season ex
cept in August.
Not forsaking the assembling
of yourselves together except in
August. " . ".. - .

ship, and in breaking of bread
and in prayers except in Aug

Shipping Fruit.
It has been demonstrated that
fruit for long shipments will keep
much better if cooled be
fore being put into the refriger
ator car. This cooling of the
fruit " has entailed much extra
work, as in many cases it is
necessary to haul it to a cold
storage plant first.
Pomologist Taylor of the ag
ricultural department at Wash
ington has been atwork on this
problem, says an exchange. Up
on recommendation the Govern
ment is now constucting at Chi
cago a refrigerating kind ot
machine. Upon the car is an
oil-burning engine and a refriger
ating plant which operates by
the ammonia process and a sys
tem of tans for forcing: blasts of
cold air through cars of fruit,
The refrigerating car will be put
next to a car loaded with fruit
and the cold blasts will be sent
through the fruit car for some 24
hours. Then the car containing
the fruit will be iced. and sent ou
its way rejoicing.
Will Hire Japs.
In the event of an alarming
shortage in available hop pickers
this season, the hop growers are
thinking serously of resorting- to
Japanese coolie labcr as a solut
ion to the problem. This same
condition will apply to the prune
grower, a great many of whom
are already placing themselves on
the safe side by contracting for
Japanese pickers, that is a certain
percentage of the number requir
ed, in order to protect themselves
from an emergency which may
arise. - :
, Thus far there is 1 no particular
indication of a shortage of pick
ers, especially for prunes, and
many of the growers have al
ready contracted for their help at
6 cents per bushel, while in a few
instances as high as 7 cents may
have to be paid, Uinpqua VaL

HE IS STILL DRUNK
And Upset the Lamp
' . land Is.
-Where Hy
Persons about town have fre
quently been heard to ask "What
ever became of Hyland?" and an
item in the Telegram, Thursday
nighty throws some light on the
subject. Hyland is the painter
wno t :ied to drink Corvallls dry
before it became a dry town, who
was once upon a time languish
ing Ir the county jail for drunk
euness and when offered his free
donl if he would leave Corvallls
promptly replied, "Go to I'll
stay in jail first" The Telegram
savs: ' . . - -. . -
"Prompt work by Patrolman
Wanless last night probably sav
ed W. H. Hyland from burning
to death . in his room at 183 J
Fourth - street,: where he had
kicked over a lamp and was too
much intoxicated to help himself.
"In the street below Wanless
saw flames leaping up before the
window, and with a man he call
to help him, rushed up the stair
way and pounded on the door.
Hyland could not even let them
in.; Wanless broke down the
door and threw the contents of a
pitcher of water on the flames.
They, had gained good headway
but he went at them with rugs
and bed clothes till they were
completely smothered. Hyland
did not realize that his life had
been saved.
In the same building, a lodg
ing house, were many sleeping
People at the time. : They were
profuse in their gratitude to the
quick-thinking policeman when
they learned what he had done."
The "Rest Room" Idea.
Forty merchants ot Baker City
h?.ve - agreed to give $2.50
per month each for the next two
years, for the maintenance of a
rest room for farmers. Here is a
movement well worth emulating
b" merchants ot all cities and
towns where the farmers' trade is
particularly sought after.
Merchants who know every
nook and corner of the town can
hardly realize how lost country
people feel when they go to town
They are entirely out of their
element, and most of them are
like fish out of water.
They have no place to sit down
and rest and no place to meet
each other, no place to take care
of the demands of nature. They
wear tnemselves out carrying
their wraps and purchases around
and as a result are in a great hur
ry to get out of town again.
Make it easy for them to rest,
and make them feel at home, and
they will stay longer, spend more
ironey and come oftener,, says
the Oregoa City Enterprise with
truth.
The rest room, if properly
managed, will take all th" dread
out of a trip to town, and once
your country people cease dread
ing a trip to town they will come
oftener, and as they become more
and more in touch with city ways
their wants will spread out over a
wider range ot goods, and they
will become better customers.
A Good Trade.
j Every boy, no matter bow rich or bow
poor his ancestry, should learn thorough
ly sdme good trade, so that if his circum
stances become reversed at any time he
could immediately do service at bis trade
and start again on a successful road to
prosperity. The printing trade is not
only ' artistic when completely learned,
but it is also highly educational in every
particular, and one of the beat trades that
anyone can learn, as . opportunity for
labor is ever ready each working day in
the year." -'
There is one of the uest opportunities
in a'l the land for a young man cf steady
habits, good principles, . well educated'
having a will to work and excel, to learn
the printing trade in the Gazette office.

A matter of genernl interest to
breeders of live stock is the cattle
sale which will probably be held
in connection with the Greater
Oregon State Fair (Sept. 16-24)
at Salem. This sale will give
the live stock men an opportun
tiy to buy some fine animals,
aud the same time dispose of
their surplus stock to the best ad
vantage. A competent auc
tioneer will be secured by the
Fair management, and sales will
be made on the lowest per cent
commission possible. Each breed
er will be limited to a consign
ment of fifteen animals, that re
striction being placed iu order to
give a chance to profit by the sale.
The entire consignment willcon
sist of about sixty head of ShorU
horns, thirty head of Herefords,
and fifty head of aii other breeds.
This sale is being arranged partly
for the benefit of the California
breeders, who have promised to
come north to exhibit, providing
they can have a chance to con
vert some of their fine stock into
cash.
