tho appointment ot a commission to
-Investigate and let tho world know
that It Is mistaken, or If It develops
tliat thcro is really something queor
in tho muscovlto character, to de
cide what had better bo done about It.
The Tarnowska trial at Venice has
had much to do with the feeling. Had
tho case been heard In Ruesia fow
of the details would ever have reach
ed other countries. In Italy, however,
It was impossible to suppress them.
It is fully realized in St Petersburg
that they have given outsiders a bad
Impression ot Russia.
Prof. Morsolli, tho alienist, who
testified concerning Countos Tar
nowska, in particular gave offenso
Ty his statement to the Jury that "you
should remember, gentlemen, that
1n Russia there is In society an ab
normal atmosphere, a passion for
wlerd women, a craving for unusual
sensations.
"The whole of this Slav world
After writing for tho Mall Tribune
last Friday night and mailing thoj
letter on the 23rd, Inst., I started on
horseback for tho country on Upper
Trail creek, noting tho changes that
have been made along tho route.
The first thing that attracted my at
tention was tho great improvements
In our road. They havo been scraped
and Bomo of the worst mudhole3
filled up and fixed so that they pre
sented a good appearance and in ono
place, tho lano between Mr.
Bergman's r.nd the Ole Johnson place,
had been widened so that the could
get along nd miss tho worst mud
holes. Mr. Johnson has put In a
neat wire fence and left tho lano
about sixty feet wide. Just beyond
Grant Matthews has made a slight
change in the road by fencing in
another field, thus turning tho road
up a Bharp steep Uttlo hill that was
avoided the way tho old road run,
but he has fenced in a nice tract ot
land that will some day bo put to
fruit I noticed that a family had
moved onto atract of laud formerly
occupied by Benjamin F. Baker and
that that part of the country is look
ing up and the people living along
tho line aro getting ready for the
Crater Lake road. Crossing Roguo
river on the free ferry and stopping
at the Trail hotel for dinner, I wended
my way up tho creek noting quite an
Improvement In tho appearanco of
the place formerly occupied Mr, In
low by now owned by a young man by
tho name of Lawrence. Tho people
In the section aro looking anxiously
for the Crater Lake road. I remained
over night with a friend, Mr. T. C.
tQaines. Tho noxt morning I wended
jny way up to the Trail schoolhouse
whore I preaclied to a good sized
.audlenco and after partaking
of a lunch that had been prepared by
kind friends, went to the Central
schoolhouse whor I found another
congregation waiting for mo. After
speaking I organized a Sunday school
of 20 members. In my rounds I met
with threo of our young lady teach
ers; first, Miss March Klncald who is
teaching at Trail, Miss May Dlts
worth who Is teaching In the Gale
district and Miss Roso Nowland in
the Central schoolhouse. Thoro have
been several addition to that neigh
borhood and I am Blad to noto that
they appear to be pooplo of tho right
sort. I could noto a decided improve
ment all along tho road that I trav
oiled and tho most of them soomed
rto bo for tho beBt and tho people all
soemed happy and contented.
Mrs. George West wont to 'Butto

Dr. McKnlght and family recently

old Tucker place. Thoy aro recent
arrivals and ho Is like tho rest of the
nowcomers and tolls uo that wo don't
know tho value of our land or how

that keeps tho throng ot pcpplo east
Is that they don't know what wo

Oliver Has Large Audience
Despite Inclement Weather
LARGE DELEGATION FROM ASHLAND ATTENDS REVIVAL MEET
ING LAST EVENING.
That tho intorost in tho union tab
ernacle meetings is increasing was
shown last evening when hundreds of
people went through the rain to tho
Tabernacle to hoar Dr. Oliver. Be
tween 50 and CO people from Ashland
came down to attend tho meeting Inst
night. The Ashland delegation occu
pied a space in the choir loft and
when Oliver entered tho building
thov reueated together tho "chorus
yell":
"Ashland! Oliver! 'Rah, 'rah, 'rah!
We stand for the good ho did,
Against tho sin that was hid.
God bless Medford and Oliver 1"
Dr. Oliver responded by saying: "If
all of the people in Ashland were like
that bunch it would bo a good city.
These people coining here tonight, to
gether with tho fact that there were
325 conversions in Ashland and the
people raised $21S0 for tho exponso
of tho meeting, proves that tho cam
paign thoro was a success and con
tradicts some of tho lies circulated to
the contrary."
After rending a part of tho sixtn
chapter of II Kings, Dr. Oliver an
nounced his 'subject, "Wliero fell
your nx-head?" the text being found
in II Kings, vi:C.
Dr. Oliver drew many lessons from
the chapter rend and among other
things said: "The sons of the proph
ets said to Elislm: 'Behold! Now the
place where wo dwell with thee U
too strait for us that is, it is too
small; we need Jnrgor quarters.' Tho
church buildings in tho average com
munity give a fair conception of tho
moral and spiritual conditions of tho
town. When the churches aro about
tho size of an average box-stall, you
can count on it, tho citizenship of
that community are puerile, stingy,
pusillanimous, good - for - nothing
milksops."
Dr. Oliver denounced in strong

Oliver, continuing, said: "Tho ene
mies of Nehemiah tried to discourage
him in his great work, first by com
promise, then by ridicule and fin
ally by threatening. So it is today
in every community whoro tho people
of God enter a campaign for soul
saving, tho liquor buifuh will want to
compromise with the church, then
ridicule, and finally will make threats
against tho man of God who dares to
tell them of their sins."
In closing his sonnon, Oliver said:
"The lesson of the young man losing
his ax-hcad represents a church
member losing his usefulness and
spirituality. Some of you men lost
your nx-hcad at a horse trado when
you tradod somo old bono-spnviucd,
wind-broken, ringhoned, 30-ycnr-old
bunch of heaves for a fresh 3-yonr-old
colt. Some of you women "drop
ped your nx-hcad when you wont to
a dance or card party. Some of you
church members lost your ax-hend
when you went off on a fishing trip
on Sunday when you ought to have
been in church service. Somo of you
havo lost your ax-head heenusc yon
entertain an unforgiving spirit. Find
your nx-hcad man ami woman and
go to work for God."
