Key. W. E. Tot wine, who for 22 years
has been the rector of the Episcopal
church at Pendleton, and who is well
known in Heppner, has dfc'ared his in
tention of resigning his pastorate, and
is going to the Sandwich Islands.
Twenty-two years ago in July Mr.
Tot wine came to Pendleton, and ae
6'imed the charge of the then small con
gregation that went to make up the
Church of the Redeemer in Pendleton.
It was his first charge, as he had just
loft the divinity school of "Trinity,"
and it is greatly owing to his untiring
energy and zeal that the parish has
grown from a missionary to a self sup
porting parish, and as the congregation
outgrew the old frame building that had
done service a8 a church for so long,
Mr. Potwine conceived the idea of con
structing a new church of larger di
mensions, and more 6uited in every way
to the growing congregation and, after
several years of toil in the way of se
curing funds, his efforts were rewarded,

Washington, January 14. The Na
tional Association of Naval Militia met
today to frame a basis for legislation to
promote the naval militia of the coun
try. Later the 50 delegates present
called on President Roosevelt. The
President greeted the delegates cor
dially, and delivered a brief address to
th em on their work. He said :
"I have a peculiar interest, and I
think I may say knowledge of the naval
militia, and of the work that it has
done. When I was Assistant Secretary
of the Navy the interests of the naval
militia came peculiarly within my prov
ince. I am particularly glad to see you
here, and 1 most earnestly hope that
you will be able to harmonize any small
differences of opinion among you and
work for a common end. It is with the
naval militia as it is with the National
Guard generally. If they can decide
definitely what they want and agree
upon It, we can come pretty near put
ting their policy through, while if there
is a disagreement it is an extremely
difficult thing to obtain proper legisla
tion or administration.
"It is not necessary for me to say to a
body like this that the position of the
United States as a great world power
and her ability to maintain with dignity
any self-respect, her position in the
world at large, depend primarily upon
the efficiency of her navy, and that you
by the work you do in the naval militia,
can contribute as no other body of civ
ilians on land can possibly contribute to
make that efficiency reach a high
standard."
in ay Fire Theater.
Chicago, January 14. As soon as the
Con ner'n jury releases its control of the
Iroquois Tneater, the plavhouse will be
again given over to the flames, if plans
evolved by Mayor Harrison and Walter
F. Fisher of the City Club, are carried.
Experts who will fight over again the
Iroquois conflagration will have trained
firelighters at their elbows to see that
the demonstration of the plan does not
bring about any property loss outside
the partially ruined playhouse. The
purpose of again firing the theater is to
test the sufficiency of city ordinacces,
present and prospective.
At. a conference today between Mayor
Harrison and Mr. Fisher this subject
was discussed exhaustively, and it wbs
decided that nothing that had been
done in Chicago for many years would
approaoh this plan in the amount of
good for the public that would result.
With men who understand every detail
of the test io watch every action of the
flames and gases, and to regu'ate effects
by the manipulation 'of the ventilators
and doors, it was urged that the benefits
to accrue from the fire test would be
practically inestimable. With the Iro
quois stage filled with excelsior and
rubbish, and a fire raging thereon, the
condition being like those of the fatal
afternoon of December 30, the experts
expect to learn a great deal about the
flames that swept so inany live1) away.
J. R. Freeman, an expert, on fire, will
be a6ked to take charge of the test.
Herbert Spencer' C urious M ill.
London, Jan. 14. Herbert Spencer's
will is a curious document, ft directs
that his body shall be placed in a colli n
with a loose lid and cremat'd and the
ashes buried, all without any species of
religions ceremony. All the tights and
pr operty in his books and investments
are given to the trustees, Honorable
Auberon Herbert, Dr. Henry Charlton
Bastian and David Duncan, with in
structions to employ the yearly revenue
"in resuming and continuing during
Buch period as may be needed for fur-thering-my
express wishes, but not ex
ceeding the life time of all descendants
of Queen Victoria, who shall be living
at my decease, and of the survivors of
them and for 21 years after the death of
such survivor, the publication of the
existing parts of my descriptive so
ciology and the compilation and publi
cation of the fresh parts thereof upon
the plan followed in the paits already
published."
Afterward all copyrights, stereotype
plates, etc, are to be auctioned and the
proceeds divided among a number of
scientific societies.
The will orders that Herbert Spencer's
autobiography is to be published simul
taneously in Great Britain and the
United States and requests David Dun
can to write a biography in one volume
of modern size. Another interesting
clause is :
"(live to Charles Holme, son of my j
late friend, George Holme (;f Derby, in
remembrance of his father having saved
my life when a boy, the watch present
ed to me by friends in Boston, U. S A.,
and so inscribed, together with the at
tached chain ; and I hope, the legatee
may think it well to keep it in his
family as an heirloom."
In a codicil, Mr. Spencer reiterfcted
his objection to the metric system Hnd
expresses the desire that whenever a
bill shall be introduced in parliament
on the subject his pamphlet against the
system shall be reprinted and distrib
uted to the members of parliament.
There has been for many years a large
amount of canned and pickled salmon
sold in the markets of Europe each sea
son, and the demand there for ourtooth
Bine tifsh, already extensive, is con
stantly growing. In fact, many of the
packers look to those countries for the
tale of the greater portion of their
product. Ttiere. however, appears now
to be a demand for the fresh fish and
undoubtedly the trade in that line will
reach large figures within a very few
years. Frozen fish have been shipped
from the Columbia River to the cities
on the Atlantic coast for some time.
Under present methods ot refrigeration
it is as practicable to ship fresh fish to
Germany or England as it is to New
York, and if the cost of transportation
is not too great there is no reason why
the fresh fish from the coast may not be
made as popular in foreign countries as
the canned and pickled products are.
