One of our uost prominent preachers says niu'xchange tells the following an ecdote as a fact whenever he hears' a fstory too incredible for belief: "A very wicked man boeajne converted, and in course of lime it came his time to pray in class meeting. Not being used to speaking in public, of course he Was very much embarrassed. This Is the substance of his prayer: Oh, Lord Thou giver of all good, look lown with pity tin poor people. You are rich and can upare them plenty to eat while on earth. Hend every one of them a full barrel .of Hour, plenty of lard and a side of bacon, a ham oi so and a pound of butter, h'end every one of your starving, hungry creatures a barrel of sugar a barrel of pepper Oh, h 1 that's too much pepper."

Visitor. The yarrow Gaog-e Itd. There Is Bomo hitch In the proceed ings for the transfer of the Orcgonlan railway lines to tho Boutbern Pacific Company, says the Orcgonlan. In the agreement In regard to the matter it was specified that the stock holders of the Orcgonlan companies should give quit-claim deeds to the Southern Pacific. They thought they could in duce Mr. C. P. Huntington to give them f 100,000 more If they refused to do this, and sent a gentleman, who was out here once on business for the com pany, over to w York to endeaver to effect such an arrangement. In the mean time thelndebtednessof thccoin pany which" the Southern Faclfic was to assume, was bought up at a discount by some one, presumably In the Inter est of the company, Mr. Huntington said this was a violation of the agree ment, and refused to pay anything more than at first agreed, and now Is uncertain whether the sale of the road to the Southern Pacific wlfl be com pleted or not.

On last Monday night tho entire business inirtion of Spokane Falls, covering nearly forty blocks, was de stroyed by fire. The fire broke out In a frame block near the depot The water pressure was very weak, and the flames spread rapidly, sweeping the entire block in less than half an hour. A high wind sprang up soon after the fire started, filling the air with burn ing embers, and starting fires In sev eral adjacent blocks. The wind increased In violence, and shifted in all directions, creating a whirlwind of flames. It was then evi dent that the city was doomed and the people liecame panic-stricken. The firemen lost nil control over tho mad demon. Every business house lu tho city including eight banks, all tho Hotels out one, an me niagni cent structures exec, t the Crescent block, nml owirv newilnor lu tho rltv.v.J, tho ltevicw is burned out. The fir exhausted Itself at the river for lack of material to burn. Several killed and injured. Help was sent prompt as the provisions and supplies in the city were burned.

It Is desirable to have manufactories stai- a ted. Why not start them: vny wait from month to month for a chance to pay a bonus to foreign capl tll8.U to put them up? There Is mon ey enough tot troch work right here at home, and the 1 bonus, can oe sayeu. If it will pay some eastern man to come here and be hired to put up a factory of some kind, why will It not better pay men who are already here to take hold of the business themselves? These questions are pertinent ones. If Fruit and Vegetable cannery, for instance, will pay an eastern man, why will It not as surely pay a Leba non man? If one-man has not enough capital, two or 'more have. Their money Is here and their Interests are here Why then should you desire to ti.iv a larze bonus to some stranger to do whut you can as well or better do yourselves? These are points worm your while to think over and discu s, and too, for you to act upon at once. THkn hold if something and make money out of it yourselves Instead of letting the profits of the business go to someone, who, as yet, has no nueiesi hore and nerhaps never will have any nviumi ti-hltf Vll 171 ve him as a bonus nnri what he can make out of the bust news vou have given him. God helps those who help themselves, as surely in such matters as these as In any others. Look to your own interests and you will find ways to build up your town and Increase your bank ac count at the same time.

Yes, it Is impossible, w repeat, for a newspaper to please everybody. As well attempt to chain the wind or stop the furious lightning. His worst enemy is the lowest crust of society. They may appear friendly at times, but in their heart is nestled a cowardly revengeful spirit, which will manifest itself at the first opportunity.
