Rose o f Portland informed Agent Powers this week that the depot would be re-painted on the inside and out in the near future. The exact time when the work will commence is not known as the stock o f paint was burned up in the warehouse at San Francisco and a new stock will have to be supplied before the work com mences. The signal switch l»oard has been re-painted. WOULD BURN KEROSENE An exchange says that an Ohio man thinks that he has invented a carburetor that will burn kero sene instead o f gasolene. It is possible that it might jar the Ohio gentleman to learn that the ordi nary gasolene engine will burn kerosene without any extra frills. To burn kerosene in a gasolene engine has been practiced for years. It is a little harder to start when the engine is cold and it is'a good plan to squirt a shot or two o f gasolene into the intake to warm the engine and start the vajpir. Some who have used it claim there is more energy in a gallon o f kerosene than a gallon o f gasolene. One thing is certain, there is more stink. A GREATER WAR TO PRESENT CON FLICT. To the Editor: "A n d the nations were angry.” ThiB wonderful prediction o f the pro phecy o f Revelation is made under the sounding o f the seventh angel. Concerning the time, we learn that when the seventh angel begins to sound, or early in the sounding o f the seventh angel, that the mystery o f God— that ¡ b , the work o f the gos pel, "Christ in you, the hope o f g lo r y —should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the pro phets.” Rev. 10:5-7: 11:15-19. The anger'of the nations is coupled, in the prophecy, with the wrath o f God, which is the prelude to the judgm ent o f the world. It comes in connection with the judging o f the dead, the reward o f the righteous, and the destruction o f the wicked. Rev. 11:15-19. There can be no doubt at all that the prediction o f the prophecy ia to day in process o f fulfillment. The nations are angry; and since 1844, when the seventh angel began its sounding, and more particularly since 1848, one o f the plainest truths o f the day has been that the temper o f the nations was one o f anger. Their attitude has constantly exem plified it. During ail this time, the rulers o f the great nations have had to put forth strong effort, have been compelled to use extrem e caution, in order to avoid a universal war. A t the same time, we must remem ber that the prophecy concerning Turkey indicates its waning, partic ularly from the time o f the prophecy; that is, from August 11, 1840, after which time the Turkish government would exist only by the sufferance o f the European powers. That was the date specified in the prophecy; and true to the prediction upon that day, August 11, 1840, the powers notified the Turkish Sultan that they would henceforth attend to his cuse And without any question about it, from that day till the present war, they have been attending to his case. W ere it not for an agreement among the powers, the Turkish government would have vanished long ago Thus the nations have attempted artificially to prevent war; but to day they are in conflict, and more thun ever we realize the truth o f that prediction o f the prophecy which describes accurately their state o f wrath. They have seemed to realize that thiH spirit o f wrath, if once let loose, would carry them ut terly beyond themselves. Realizing it. and stating it to the world, they have tried to make Turkey a buffer state, as it were, to hold them from each other’ s throat. Or as some one has put it, Turkey is the bone, and each o f the nations, while watching the bone, has not dared to seize it, for fear o f bringing the others on him in a great dogs’ light, so to speak, fo r the possession o f the Mo hammedan prize. This bone o f contention, the terri tory o f the Turk, has been described as a section that "m ig h t and ought to be one o f the most flourishing on the face o f the earth.” Almost every nation o f Europe involved in the present conflict is deeply inter ested in who shall ponses this terri tory. No one nation can gHin con trol o f it without tremendously a f fecting the others. There are Eng land’s possessions in Egypt and India. There are the possessions o f France and o f Italy in the N ear Hast. Russ ia is almost dependent fo r her very life upon the free passage o f the Dardanelles: Austria and Germany, want a straight avenue down through the Balkans and Turkey into the rich Mesopotamian valley. Greece is deeply anxious about it, because she lies so close to Constan tinople and environs. Italy has no good harbors, and looks across the sea to Albania and the well sheltered places o f that coast as a security for her navies and her ships o f com merce. Thepresont w ar is an ineffectual effort to straighten out the Eastern question, which has been precipitat ed upon the nations before they de sired it. From studies o f the prophecies, I do not believe that the present war will solve the problem. Some sort o f temporary arrangement will be made, giving a short period o f peace, in which God’s work in the earth will be finished. Then will come another war. known in the prophe cies as Armageddon; and after that, the end o f the world. But Armageddon is located in Pal estine, within the territory o f the Turk. So that war. too, will be an attempt at the solving o f the Eas tern question. And it will be the last attempt the nations o f the earth will ever make; fo r Armageddon ends the struggle o f the nations, and makes the ushering in o f the kingdom o f Christ, with the de struction o f all those things which are foreign to the righteouness and peace o f Him whose right it is to rule the world. The nations are angry. Soon God’s wrath will come, and the Judgment day, even as the prophecy o f Revela tion Xl-18 clearly predicts. V ery sincerely yours, W m . E s t e u , k . NOTICE!

T o the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfare? ‘ The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders # authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service— your service. This army of employes is in the public service— your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. O n all the Western railroads in 3915, seventy-five per cent of the tram employes earned these waires (lowest, highest and average of all; as shown by the pay rolls— Pui<n|<r Freight Yard Atsrii* Utili* Aver««« Rani* Av*rt|* Engineer* . $1747 3094 $2195 $1537 3076 $2071 $1056 2445 $1378 Selig’s Cash Price Store, Conducton 1543 2789 1878 1454 2933 1935 1151 2045 1355 “ Meeting and Beating Competition”.

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes’ representatives.
