Willis of Yamhill, are peeking through the checker board at the county jail and pondering over the same problem that has worried many an other, "loe it pay to do wrong?" The charge against the two ia that of occupying the same room and bed together at Sherwood, against the peace and dignity of the great state of Oregon. The woman, w ho is good look ing and Intelligent, deserted a husband at Yamhill and this is said to be her second offense, and with the same party. Mallorv is a six-footer, about 45 year of age. They left Yamhill together early in October and a warrant was issued for their arrest. After leaving Sherwood they were traced to Helix, where Sheriff Connell arrested the pair and brought them to Hillslioro. They will have a hearing before Justice Bagley next Mon day afternoon at 1 o'clock, and in the meantime they w ill continue to do the peek-a-boo act at the county bastile. The Independent makes it an Invaria ble rule to resect a minister of the gos pel, honor his calling and, if possible, avoid any unpleacant controversy. But when a preacher write an anonymous letter, and because we refuse to print it, resort to abuse and threats, ami says it "is none of our business whether a com munication is signed or not," we w ish to say to him that it i very much our business. Mr. Phelps will find his time fll nrrnnind if he will "mind his own business." And for his special ben efit we will add that had he or ins "com mittee" come to this otlice like gentle men, presented their preamble and resolutions, duly signed, we sluuld have published them willingly. He eay he only sent the letter to us to "put us on record" and winds up by Insinuating that the saloon element has bought us up, body, boot and breeches, which snvone that know us and has watched the policy of The Independent, know is atsiolutely false. We are not going to asign a man to the bottomless pit be cause lie does not think and vote a we do. TI... ..I fiio.ti.in la aattleda o far SS the HillstMro-fillam.Kk Hue i concern ed. A full force of men are at work, among them some seventy Jap, and the construction work is now on in earnest. It Is expected the first five miles of grading will be in readiness for the tics and steel as soon as the construction train arrivM. whieh ia inected the fi rst of the week, when track laying will be gin. This new railroad to the coast has caused a good deal of hard thinking, much hard and persistent work, and a number of public spirited men have gone down into their pockets for cold rash some of whom could not afford it while those who Have "bucked" the enterprise from the start, refused to give a cent or sign the guarantee bond, will now lay back and wait for every foot of their property to double in value and grab for every cent in sight. They want the railroad, but they want some one else to build it. But the road is building. President I.ytle I behind the enterprise, and within a month engine and car will be running over the first five miles of track. Hurrah for the Hil.sooro-Tlllamook Railway and the public spirited men w ho have worked day and night for it construction. Miss Kthel Norman visited over Sun day in Portland.

Forest Gkovc, Nov. 22, 1905, Editor Independent. Dear Sir: Dur ing the early summer the president and secretary of our company called upon the city council to see about furniahiug electric light and pumping water for your people. We stated at that time that we would be willing to enter into a contract that would be a saving of from fUOO to !HHI ier year. A committee was appointed by the mayor to confer with us, as we un derstood it, and get our proposition in writing. We were anxious to meet this committee, and after conferring with them, we believed we could make a proposition that would secure their re commendation. We have never had an optortunity to meet this committee and therefore con clude that they did not consider the sav ing sufficient to justify the city in enter ing Into the contract. Now. Mr. hditor, almost five years ago we entered into a contract with the city of Forest (irove to furnish light and water, and after two year we offered in a public letter to turn over to the city their contract, if it wa for their best in terest. They did not at that time, and have never since proposed to accept this proposition, and I feel confident that the mayor or any member of the present city council, or any man who has been a member of the city council during the past three year would say that we have aved thi city considerable more than ice the amount we agreed to save them. I believe no one will dispute the fact that up to the past five year thi city was running behind, so far ss light and water was concerned. Now for several year it has not drawn any warrants ex cept payable at sight and has taken up several thousand dollar of outstanding indebtedness, notwithstanding the fact that the total tax received scarcely paid the interest on the bonded indebtedness of the city. The time will come when the taxpay ers ol your city win, a tney nave in other cities, feel their burden is, per haps, a little too heavy, and when that time comes, if in the near future, we will be glad to enter into contract for a term of years to furnish light and water for from SHOO lo I'HHJ per year lesa than it is costing you to furnish it for yourselves, giving a substantial bond lor laitiiiui performance, and giving the privilege of cancellation of contract in two years, it desirable. This will in ten year amount to (8,000 to $J,000 saving and would seem to a private Individual at least worth consid ering. Hie reason we are able to make such a proposition is we have water power instead of steam, and it will cost us after we have once prepared for it but little more for running ex- uenses, and we are willing to share this profit with your people, Y ours very truly, E. W. HAINES. A Terror to Law-Breakera. The following is from a San Francisco telegram of November 16th and refers to a cousin of E. D. Thome of thi city. They were both born In Plattsburg, N. Y., within a week of each other. They were of about the same build, and Mr. Thorne say hi cousin was a man w ith out fear and the only wonder ia that he escajed the assassin's bullet: "Ben Thorn, one of the most noted characters in tiie history of California, for more than 40 year sheriff of Calav eras county, the famous and daring cap tor of many infamous criminals, fear less and brave died yesterday morning. In the davs when the laws were loose. when life was cheap, and men lived in the frontier stage of existence, Thorn's name was a terror to the criminal. He was a leader in many of the famous man-hunts in California. One of his early captures wai that of Tom Rivers, a lieutenant of the notori ous Joaquin Vasquex, the bandit hanged at St. Jose, "Alkali Jim" and William Minor, stage robbers of early days, who operated in the mining country, were sent to prison by Thorn. "Tommy" Brown, adeaperado escaped from rolsom penitentiary, was recaptured by the in trepid otlicer after a desperate battle at the Calaveras big trees. Thorn was at the front in the successful hunt in the Fresno mountains for William Evans, the bandit, who with George N.ntag, killed Michael To bey, a Wells, rargo hi press messenger, ten years ago. "Black Bart," otherwise Charles E. Barton, the poet stage roblr, waa an other criminal who was landed through Thorn' work. Thorn was born In New ork !t years ago, and crossed the plain to California 111 l!o!. Sealed Bids Wanted.

The preachers of the West Portland District of the Metho.it-t ehurch met at the local church at V.to Tuesday morn ing. Dr. Ilollinniliea I, the presiding elder has been tiie prime mover in this matter and was by ins olhr, the presid ing officer. This is not an official meet ing but one which is called for the pur pose of mutial conference and consulta tion was first promised by Dr. Short, of lavlor street ciiurcli, 1'ortland. Tiie meeting began willi devotionals, after w hich teinMrary organization was completed by electing Kev. J. K. Hawk ins, of Mc.Miiinville, as secretary and the appointment oi tiie conventional com mittees. The published program waa then ta ken up and quite closely followed. The first was the roll call of ihe preachers and two minutes was given for reply on lbs subject: "The Outlook for the Year." Twenty-two preachers responded and considerable enthusiasm was manifested as they represented their respective work. Others came on later train. The roll call occupied more time than was allotted to it by the program, for the average Methodist preacher can hardly be controlled by the clock, so that the only other topic taken up before noon was, "The Purpose ot Preaching." Revs. D. A. Watters and J. K. Hawkini spoks on this topic and at 11:45 adjournment was had until 1 :15. At that hour the ministers came together again and "The Scope of Pastoral Work" wa discussed by Revs. F. L. Belknap, E. 11. Bryaut and J. T. Ahbett. "Helpful Revivals" wss a tonic dis cussed by Revs. R. B. Wilkins, P. J hvertt and A. I. Mrackenbury. Rev, W. 8. Grim discussed "Hurtful Revi vals." Fifteen minutes was then used in a general discussion of revival themes. Rev. W. H. HolcombandE. W. Elav- er were eagerly listened to as they soaks on the topic, "Sensational Preaching and r.ccentric i reacners. " "The Preacher in Society" waa a sub ject well preiiented by Kevs. D. L. Shrode and Jl. u. Kemp. After this some time was profitably employed in a general discussion of the topics already presented by those to w hom they 1 ad been assigned. "tjuestions for Each Pastor to Con sider" was perhaps not quite anticipated by the preachers but proved to be im promptu questions put by the presiding eider to eacn oi me preachers present. The determination, previously expressed to adjourn for the afternoon at 6 o'clock did not ermit the whole roll to be thus addressed. At that hour the meet ing adjourned until evening, having been a most prontabie day to all. ine meeting on juetniav evening waa ji very notame one. me seating capac ity oi tne cuurcn was taxed to ita ut most. The new Methodist hymnal was here introduced and Dr. F. B. Short is a master in leading an audience in song. He was at Ins be.st both in this and in the sermon that followed. His subject was "Prayer," and waa a powerful dis course, re-eniorced by his own strong personality. At the close, Mr. John Naugle arose and spoke a few minutes in his characteiistio manner to the evi dent delight of all present. Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock the preachers' conference reassembled in the Methodist church and proceeded to business. ' After devotionals and the reading of the minutes, the question of a permanent organization waa taken up and a committee was appointed to which the matter waa left entirely. Rev. Z. F. Belknap, II. G. Kemp and C. A. House! extended invitation for the meeting to be held at their respect ive churches, vis: Forest Grove, Rainier and Seaside. This matter was also lsft in the hands of the committee. The presiding elder then continued the roll call to include those who were not present on the previous day and Revs. T. L. Jones, J. V. Exon and II. T, Atkinson reported respectively for Amity, Beaverton an 1 Kpworth church, Portland. The regular program was ta ken up and Rev. M. T. Wire spoke on the subject, "Our Young People." Mr. T. S. McDaniel, a laymen of Port land was then called upon to speak re presenting the Laymen's Association, and did so much to the interest of all. At this juncture Dr.' Rader was intro duced and addressed the conference. Dr. Rowland was then called upon to speak on "The Oregon Conference;" Rev. J. V. Exon spoke on the topic. "Our Benevolences" and was followed by Dr. Short on the came theme. Ad- Iournment was then had for the noon lour The closing session was on Wednes day afternoon and the enthusiasm and ardor which was so apparent and nota ble on the first day reached its height at this time. When 4 o'clock, the closing hour had come, most of the preachers hastened to the depot to meet tiie north bound train, there had ended a two days' conference more valuable than the most sanguine supporters of it had pre viously dared to hoe. The topics discussed were concerning the Prayer Meeting, Clais Meeting, the Quarterly 1-ove Feast and Communion Service, ihis was - followed by the "Question Box" and a great deal of prof itable discussion was iifvvoked by sever al practical questions. "My Plan for the Woik ' was the topic of a round-table to which all responded with much feeling. Resolutions of thanks to the people. church and pastor of llillsboro were then introduced by Rev. II. Gould and were unanimously adopted. 1 he time lor closing was now near at hand and all present knelt in prayer Willi Dr. Hollingshead, leading. "The Preacher's Private Devotion" was fitting ly the closing theme and was safe in the hands of Rev. J. T. Abltt and E. W. Elayer. XOTS. Rev. B. F. Rowland, w ho wa In at tendance on the recent Preacher' Con ference in this city, has but two month since entered upon the work of presid ing elder and his field is the East Port land district. Dr. Rowland is deserved ly popular among the preachers and churches which he serves. He is com paratively a young man and this fact with his abundant capabilities, warrant those who know him in expecting most aggressive plana and work under his leadership, and it is already apparent that lis and Dr. Hollingshsad ais to make a strong team In Oregon Method istism. Mr. T. 8. McDaniel was present in the city Wednesday visiting the Preach ers' Conference. Mr. McDaniel is much interested in and identified with ail the activities of the church and ia always welcomed by the preacher to their meetings. Rev. T. L. Jones, of Amity, and a well-known and pioneer preacher in Oregon, came in on Tuesday evening, having teen detained by hi interest and activity in city politics. A success ful saloon fight ia being conducted in Amity. Rev. Dr. D. L. Rader, the editor ol the Pacific t hristisn Advocate, attended the meeting last Wednesday, lie has won a lame place in the heart of the preachers of this conference and la also winning the laymen. The paper, under hi management, ha very largely in creased both it efficiency and circula tion. In the course of the morning, he made a very interesting address, repre senting this church paper and the value of reading generally. Rev. C. A. House), of Seaside, was in attendance at the conference, and we are under obligations to him for thi splendid reort of the meetings. Mass Meeting.
