The papers of the metropolis are teeming with artic le? on the subject and long editorials tell how "to save the young." Gambl ing places and the denizens of White chapel are to be cleaned out bag and baggage. The leading spirits in the movement say that this crusade is to be conducted on different lines from any other. Absolute proof is to be offered of every individual crime and evil sought to be eradicated. Similar move ments have been started in other cities east and west. Similar movements have met defeat in the past, but the character of the crusade now being waged lends belief that right and purity can accom plish something. It is understood that such a movement will be started in Baker City in the near future, and that this wide open mining camp will, meta phorically speaking, be put in a straight jacket. It remains to be seen whether the church people and leaders here have the courage of their convictions or not Baker City Democrat, Sunday will be a great day in Athena for church people. The event will be t'je dedication of the beautiful new Methodist Episcopal church building, and a large number of visitors from abroad will be here. In the long chap ter of church work in this city the dedi catory exercises on this occasion will be one of more than local interest. Every Methodist congregation in Eastern Ore gon and Washington is interested in the dedication of the splendid edifice, for the reason that it stands as a monument to the spirit of progress in the work of Methodism. The development already made is suf ficient to justify Kansas in the cluim that she now has one of the largest oil fields in the world Every day is ex tending the limits of that field. There are strong indications that counties on its borders, and detached from it will eventually be brought within the pro ducing area. The discoveries in In dian Territory and the Osage reserva' tion indicate that there are well denned trends or connecting pools extending indefinitely toward the south. No limit can yet be placed upon the possibilities. Governor McBride is u thorn in the Bide of the corporation in ts in Washing ton. He has captured several county conventions, but his most important scoop was when he rounded up the re publicans at Spokane and got a delega tion to the state convention that is fa vorable to his renomination. McBride will hardly be the nominee of the re publicans of Washington for governor, but will give the opposition 11 run for their money, Dandelions are becoming a great hin drance to lawn making in Athena. -The nuisance of this obnoxious plant is be coming more manifest each successive year. Apparently the custom of ap plying the knife to the dandelion root has no blighting effect that is noticable. On the contrary some aver that the prac tice tends to increase the size of the plant. A pinch of salt administered after the plant has been cut is claimed to be the only effectual method of de struction. The fire that wiped out the business aretion of Toronto lust Wednesday was beyond doubt one of the most destruct ive ever known. The Toronto Daily Star estimates the total lost to have been $15,000,000. The heaviest individual loser is W. R. Brock k Co., who had property destroyed valued at $700,000. The insurance companies had risks ranging from a few thousand to half a million. A Harvard professor says college students are singularly lacking in im agination. But some of the professors seem overstocked with it, so the supply is about normal after all. Nov the fashion editor says that no self-respecting woman will try to get along without a new hat for every month in the year. This is too much. - "Show me your garden and I will show you what you are like," saya Al fred Austin. - By jingo, we'd like to see Alfred's.
