Many people have asked the ques
tion, "Where is Deering?" Now, the
question is open to discussion but
when the railroad comes the question
will be settled. This place is on the
right fork of the Illinois river six
miles southwest of Waldo and accord
ing to the present survey the Deering
station will be situated on Thomas
GilliganV ranch. The rich mineral
resources nd the vast stretches of
timber land will make this cqrner the
most prosperous part of Josephine
county when the much-longed-for rail
road arrives.

said article, after bating th. details :
of the ulmost unbelievable case, goes
on to make a venomous and unwar
ranted charge upiinst the local
church, 'rp.-tfHtiiij a lik-1 upon the
intelligence anil moral chaiucter of
both officers and membership.
He makes the statement, that
Council was guilty of the same crime,
while in Grants Pass, and that it wus
not only condoned by the church, but
was "wickedly whitewashed-' by its
officers ; that the officers of the church
and presbytery, in allowing him to go
from this place without criminal pros
ecution, mude themselves "sharers iu
the subsequent iniquities of this vile
wretch."
In Heaven's name, does this man
imagine that the womanhood of Beth
any church would not have revolted
at the presence of such monstrous in
iquity in their midst? Does he imug
inethat the manhood of the church
would have kindly advised this man
to resign from its pustorate and al
lowed him to gr. charged only with
'conduct unbecoming a tninisUT," if
they hud had proof that he had been
guilty of this crime? What must be
his conception of the standard of vir
tue in this church and community,
that he dares to make these brazen
Insinuations, embodying in them a
slander against some of the foremost
citizens of Grants Pass!
It is a well-known fact thut no crim
inal charge was brought by any one
against Connell while in this pastor
ate, and that iu the kindness of their
hearts, regarding the feelings and fu
ture welfare of his estimable family,
the officers dismissed him w ithout a
public investigation, of tho charge of
unseemly conduct.
We, tho undersigned ciders of Beth
any church, voicing the sentiments of
the entire ofllciul Iward and member
ship, do hereby deny and repudiate
these accusations, and unite in con
demnation of the effrontery which
prompted them.
