UNUSUAL ELECTRICAL STORM
The “ unusual” thing takes
place quite often these days, as
everybody knows, but the heavy
cannonading from the heavens
which stirred the natives on
Wednesday night, made many
who are not “ natives” think of
“ back east,” and it is easy to
convince native sons, and native
daughters as well, that it was
an electrical display, such as is
not often seen in this section of
Uncle Samuel’s garden patch.
While in Portland Wednesday
afternoon, the writer heard a
man remark that a rain was
coming soon, as his hair was be­
ginning to kink, which he said
was a never failing forecast of
rain. In less than tw o hours as
the motor car w »8 gliding
along the banks of the Wil-
lamette, a few flashes o f lighten-
ing were seen, with the attendant
rolls o f thunder, coming from a
sky that was almost clear of
clouds. A few drops o f rain fell,
but the general display of beav-
enly fireworks was called oft un-
COLCORD-KIENLE WEDDING
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Coleord on Friday night,
June 14, in the presence o f the
near relatives o f both families,
Miss Eula Sylva Coleord was
united in marriage to Clarence
W. Kienle, Rev. G. E. Kienle offic-
iating. The bride is the oldest
daughter of J. C.Colcord, cashier
o f the United States National
Bank, and has lived in Newberg
all her life. The groom is the son
o f Rev. G. E. Kienle and is the
junior member o f the firm o f
Kienle & Sons, dealers in musical
instruments.
The young couple started Sat­
urday morning tor Valparaiso,
Indiana, where they will be
located for about three months,
after which they w ill go t o
Auburn, New York, where they
will remain for one year. The
Wegtnan Piano Co. have been
urging Mr. Kienle for more than
a year to prepare himself in
school and factory to build and
tune
iuuc pianos, and to become a
thorough piano man, which he
has decided to do, and will begin
his services with the company as
soon as he gets to Auburn.
The good wishes o f a large cir-
cle of friends of the yonng couple
follow them.
OREGON ELECTRIC GETS BUSY
THE CHICAGO CONTENTION
A few months ago when the
question o f granting franchises
to the Southern Pacific and the
Oregon Electric roads over the
streets o f Newberg was being
discussed, the question w a s
asked the Oregon Electric officials
as to the time they would be
ready to begin operations incase
the franchises were granted. The
answer was that they would not
be very far behind the Southern
Pacific when track laying began
on the streets of Newberg. The
truthfulness of this statement
was verified Monday when active
work was begun on First street
by a crew of Oregon Electric
men.
Seventy-five pound steel rails
are being unloaded along the
south side of the street and the
concrete crossings are being cut
out to make w ay for the track.
A number o f teams and wagons
came in Tuesday and work is
now on in earnest.
*
The foreman says a number of
crews o f surveyors are at work
all along the line making the
final survey, and he anticipates
that grading contracts will be
let within the next* thirty days
for a portion o f the line between
Newberg and Portland, at least.
He thinks the work will betaken
up in earnest as soon as the main
line is completed through to
Eugene.
I t is expected that the Southern
Pacific w ill begin laying tracks on
First and Meridian streets at no
distant day.
The long expected fight is on in
Chicago. Roosevelt failed to de­
feat Root tor temporary chair­
man o f the convention as he had
expected to do. McGovern, o f
Wisconsin, was put up as the
opposition candidate, the vote
being Root 558, McGovern 502.
The matter of the contested dele­
gates was referred to the com­
mittee on credentials. The T a ft
forces were in control when the
committee met on Wednesday
night and the Roosevelt men
walked out, saying they were
“ out for good*”
A summary in this morning’s
Oregonian says “ Taft on first
ballot or T aft or somemdn other
than Roosevelt on some succeed­
ing ballot now considered cer­
tain.”
On Wednesday Afternoon a big
demonstration was made on the
floor o f the convention for Gov­
ernor Hadley, o f Missouri, and it
is stated that he would be a<
ceptable to both factions.
At 1:30 P. M. as the Graphic

The Whittier, Cal., News of
June 10 contained the following
notice of an address by t h e
former pastor o f Friends church,
Newberg:
Rev. A. J. Weaver, pastor of
the Friends church at Berkeley,
delivered the baccalaureate ser­
mon for the college graduating
class before a large audience at
the Friends church at 4 o ’clock
yesterday afternoon.
Although Mr. Weaver did not
take a text in the accustomed
sense of the term, the passage of
scripture along the line o f his
thought was, “ Ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.”
His address
might well be entitled, “ Freedom
in Truth.”
In his introduction, he spoke
o f a journey by himself and three
kindred spirits, interested i n
Christ and education, up Mount
Hood. He described the scenic
grandeur o f the noble mountain
in glow ing terms. The greatness
o f the mountain impressed him
with the smallness o f man, yes,
how small indeed did man seem
and how vast the universe and
how great was God when com­
pared to man.
Mr. Weaver then took up the
discussion o f the question “ What
is Truth?” and discussed truth
in its relation to fact. “ Great
truth for all,” he said, is to rec­
ognize the fact that Jesus Christ
is supreme—the all-in-all.”
He congratulated the graduat­
ing students in that they were
leaving the school life and enter­
ing the true life, and pointed out
to them how their training had
fitted them for their battle with
the world.
The address was an unusually
scholarly one, and proved Mr.

things spiritual. Not often is the
opportunity given o f hearing so
lcarncd a speaker.

Harrold had k e t k
bones o f his left leg broken a few
inches above the ankle Wednes­

the back o f a wagon, which his
brother was driving, and was

descending a hill near the George
Range place, one of the led horses
reared back, pulling Stanley out
o f the wagon. He fell in such a
manner that a wheel ran over

he was brought to the home o f

with the assistance of Dr. Brand,

MORE BITUUTHIC AT ALBANY
Albany, June 17. The contract
for paving First Street with bit-

This award was made after

interested property owners had
made a thorough examination o f
the various kinds of paving in
use throughout the Northwest.
