Walla Walla Vnion, Oct. 27: Ru

through Idaho and the Salmon riv

same as the North Coast road, which
Is going to put this city on a trans

groups of surveyors now working in
the Salmon river country, making lo
cations for the new road.
The situatloa at present presents
an alarming front for Jlra H1U, for

be rewarded with a check for $1000.
Second best will get $500, and a
gradually diminishing scale of prizes
will reward 80 writers.
The contest is open to everyone.
The conditions are that the articles
must be printed in a newspaper or
magazine of general circulation,
printed anywhere outside of the
states of Oregon and Washington.
Marked copy of the publication must
then be sent to the Portland Com-
Imerclal club, where it will he turned

Governor of Oregon. The article
may be printed between the dates
of Nov. 1, 1909, and Dec, 31, 1910.
Almost any phase of the North
west may be used as subject matter
of the articles. The length and
I treatment is optional with the writer.
The plan of the Commercial club is
not to have the Northwest "boomed"'
in the common meaning of the term
so much as it Is to have the people
of the country become more famil
iar with this portion of the United
States and give expression to their
views in such articles as will be ac
ceptable to papers throughout the
entire continent.
The decision of the judges will he
absolutely impartial. There are
prizes for 80 writers and the chances
much good will be realized for the
whole Pacific Northwest is assured.

The King's Business
What Is God's business should be
pre-eminently our business. Nothing
should stand in the way of making
It so. No Christian can have a legit
imate interest that is divorced from
"the King's business." God's para
mount Interest is thesavlng of lost
men; to this object every interest
In heaven bends, so far aa this
world is concerned. To this same
object every interest of a heavenly
people must concentrate. Business
duties, professional duties, home du
ties, school duties, must on the part
of Christian people, yield for the
time being, to the more immediate
business of the King. The evange
lltsic meeting now in progress is
the King's business. Christ died to
save the people of Enterprise. Some
20 or more have already accepted
Christ as their savior. That repre
sents more in eternal values than
all the material Interests! of the town.
It is Incumbent upon us to make far
greater sacrifices for the Balvation
of our people than we have yet
made. Let us do it! No legitimate
interest will suffer in consequence
of such sacrifice. We have an able
sader in Dr. Pratt, a p werful ex
pounder of God's word, and a spirit
filled man. Our opportunity is
rare one.
The afternoon Bible studies are
such as you can not obtain elsewhere
except in some of our Bible Instl
tutes In Chicago, Los Angeles and a
few of the largest cities of our land
Every evening service has been in
Itself a rare privilege. Every ser
vice you miss is a Ions If you miss
it. It is a loss which you can not
replace God la with us and the
presence of the Spirit has been
very manifest. The singing by the
choir has been a great help to the
services. More whole-souled, enthus
lastlc singing is rarely found. Many
a thrilling story can be related of
conversions through the singing of
gottpel hymns. It may be ao here,
Let us remember that the revival
applies primarily to the church mem-

Burlington, Vt., Oct. 26. General
Oliver O. Howard, last of the Union
commanders of the Civil war, died
at his home here tonight of heart
disease. He was 79 years old.
Monday he returned to his home
here from a lecture tour In Ontario,
and apparently was In his usual
good health. Tonight he was attack
ed by heart trouble-and was dead
when a physician reached the house.
Including General Howard's ser
vices in the Indian wars be proba
bly was In more engagements than
any other officer in the United States
army. He was bo:n In Leeds, Maine,
November 8, 1830.
(Continued on page 6)
Aside from his splendid Civil War
record. General Howard was of es
pecial Interest to tbe people of this
county because he commanded the
column that made the memorable
pursuit of Chief Joseph In the Net
Perce war.
Joseph and the Indians are gener
ally given more credit In that won
derful chase than Howard and the
soldiers, but it Is usually forgotten
that It was an Infantry column that
pursued the Indians, who bad an
abundance of horses, though handi
capped by the women and children
of the tribe.
And there Is a club of boys In
Enterprise who will note the death
of the famous general with more than
passing Interest the General How-
l Fort of the Sons of Daniel
Boone, a boys society of the Presby
terian church. When he learned the
ocal fort was named for him last
winter, he sent the boys a nice let
ter that was printed in these col
umns at the time.
