DAN SHANNON
AT TABERNACLE
EVANGELIST DRAWS BIG CROWDS
Meetings Sunday and Kverjp Kreiiltig
During the Keek Mir l'p
Knthiislasm
A representative of the Olaoiei at
tended the revival services which are
beiug beld in the Tabernacle, Satur
day evening, aud bad the pleasure of
listening to hivaugellst Dan Shannon.
Mr. .Shannon has a personality all
his own aud frum the time that he
steps into the pulpit, until be leaves
it. the audience is interested, not on
ly lu what he says, but bis every ae
tlou. He is ao "unexpected", aa
aotne say. They do not want to mlas
a thiurf. aud it is necessary to pay
stiiot attention to him, iu trdar to
uot the full benefit.
Hie sullies and storle keep the
couureKBttoo in a pleasant mood. In
fact, he refuses to go ahead with bis
sermon until every (ace in the aud
ience is wreathed lu smiles. This is
very much of a task tor some, who
have spent years In trying to get the
leligious face , aa they suppose
lint be aucceded In hm etiorts Satur
day evening. It Is said that a few
who haduot been known to smile or
look iileasant tor the past thirty years,
or siuoe the last big blizzard, actually
grinced. Let us hope that it doesn't
wear oft.
Mr. Shannon took for bis text, that
old fauiilar oue "Adam, where art
thotil"' And before he bad cloned bit
talk goodly number no doubt won
dered where tbey were at. Most ot
out readers, of course, remember the
DAN SHANNON
sneue as pi-otrayed in the Hible, where
Kve hiimted Adam the apple (now ex
pressed as "lemon") and when the
Lord nailed to Adam, he was ashamed
to come forth and tried to hide be
hind soiuo tie leaves. Shannon said
that a whole lot of people tried to
hide behind smaller things than
that, but at the last day, when the
"sheep and goats" wheie gathered
together, there would be more goata
lined up from Hood Kiver than
"sheep", and this Is supposed to to
the "GnrdeiilSpot of the World" too.
There are too many bypoorltes iu
the world, not only in the ohurob, but
in all id ixses of society, Shannon says,
who re afraid to make a "stand"
He says that they ought to leel like
bu does, about being saved. Since
experiencing religion It makes him
feel us happy as "a fox lu a hen
roust.' lu sneak i nit of the mighty
works of (iod iu making the eaitb be
said: "Ood made the en, Mi, aud lest
ed ; (iod made tuau, aud rested; Ood
made womau, aud since that time.
neither Ood nor man has rested."
1'his seem to please the male part ot
the congregation, judging from the
applause coming from that part of the
iidlsuce All through his ndiesses
the stories he tells illustrates bis
points and keeps the audience inter
ested and always expectant.
Ah to the lesults of these meetings,
we are unable to tell, except that tbey
ought to be for the good of bis boar
era to aooept the religion be otters.
ihe choir, conducted by Harry Jtl.
Hoes, is oue of the interesting feat
ures, as well as ivrr. koss soios.
there are over a bundled voices in
the oboir and they are tbe beat Hood
Kiver can produce, wbiob every oue
knows is good, t he solo gwen oy Air.
Hues Saturday evening wat enjoyed
hv all. Ihe air used was that old
Scottish one, "When Oomln' Through
the Kve."
Unite a chorus of children voices
have been trained lor work in tne re-
vinl services and tbey do their part
with oredit In fact, tbe children are
manifesting a deep interest In tbe
work all along the line, nut only In
taking pait in tbe meeting, hut iu
advertising tbe meetings throughout
tbe city.
Ihe Tabernacle Is nicely lighted by
a enure or more of electrio lights as
well as three arc lights, and the ven
tilation Is peifeot. I he building will
hold about two thousand poeple. The
seats are very comfortable consider
ing that they aie made of plain
planks. They have a veiy comfortable
buck. The ground is thickly oovered
with shavings so that the feot of tbe
congregation are kept olean nud warm.
Mr. Shannon does not believe In giv
ing his audience a chance to "get
cold feet," and has therefore bad a
liberal supply of shavings spread on
tbe ground.
Xbl tabernacle is located at tbe
heal of Kugeue street on 12th street,
aud the building is substantial aud
is being hlled nightly by Interested
audiences All ohuroheB participat
ing in the revivals have olnted their
churches for the time being and are
attending these meetings.
Mr. Shannon made a special effort
to raise one hundred dollars Sunday
and was successful. Up to the pre
sent time tbe flnsnoial aid from the
congregation collected ut the tree will
off eriugs have not been enough to pay
the exneunes o' the light and actual
expenses of the meeting, but the
prospects are brighter tor tne rut ore.
Tbe meetings at tbe tabernacle are
increasing in their interest and at
tendance. More than a aciore ot per
aons have been reclaimed or convert
ed up to Suudiy evening last I he
people aie standiug by tbe meetings
SaHfeik aataJaHaW
lu a financial way, giving it their aup
port. Every night this week, tbe
meetings will commence at 7:30
prompt. Afternoon meetings will be
beld lueaday to l-i nlay inclusive at
'.!:' p. m.
Next Sunday, In addition to the 1)
o'clook aud 7 '3D o'clock services,
there will be a meeting for men only,
at 2:3U p. m. Mr. Sbannon will then
peak on "Wish-bone or back boue. "
Mr. Sbannon Is in bis best in these
men's meetings.
Jesse Uaridson KIrked by a Horse
Jesse Davidson, of Mt. Hood, waa
quite badly injured by being kicked
in the back of tbe bead by a sbaiply
bod boise, Friday afternoon, and is
still unable to be about his duties.
Mr. Davidson had been over to tbe
blacksmith to b eve rne bis hoiaes
bod, and had started fbotue again,
and was riding tbe horse bareback,
when passing utar where the tele
phone crew were stringing wires, he
asked oue of the crew to hold the wire
down until be could get the frighten
ed horse across, or over the wire. The
man held the wire down as requested
but let it fly tip as soon as tbe horse
was over. All Oregon hoises are
afraid of topes or wires, aud as tbe
wire made considerable noise it fright
ened the horse. Mr. Davidson tight
ened his legs about the horse, but to
no avail, as the horse continued to
buck vioiously, and finally succeeded
in tbiowing him nil, aud while still
in tbe air the horse kicked Ml. David
son In tbe back of the head, rendering
him unoouoions for some time. He
was taken home and a physician eel
led and everything possible done to
relieve tbe pain, hut tbe blow seems to
have affected his spinal column and
back.
Up to the piesent time no new com
plications have set In and it is hoped
by his many friends and relatives in
the valley and elsewbeie that he will
soon be able to be about again
New Transfer Wagon
Snow & Upson have just turned out
their wagon shop a new transfer
wagon for the transfer A Livery On.
It Is tbe first wagon to be built com
plete in Hood Kiver, and is band
made throughout, and presents a fin
iwhed appearmice that is u credit to
the shop.
The wood work is" tbe bett oak the
joints put together with white lead,
all parts double braced with heavy
Noiway iion. 'there are four sills un-
dei the bid, while the factory wagon
has three. It has a roller bearing fifth
wheel, a tool box under tbe foot rest
on he diivers' seat, and the wagon
has a capacity of 5,000 pounds. The
end gate is bound wih angle iron,
uicely turned around tbe comers,
while iion bands line the bed of the
box to proteOt It from he .vy articles
being loaded. The painting was done
by J. b. Hunt, and Ib an artist ic job.
Free Library Heneflt
The miustiel show for Friday even
ing at the Opera House given by tbe
local talent, with musio on string d
instruments, beautiful dancing by
children in elaborate continental cos
tumes, dummy love song by tbe shirt
waist girl, will afford one ot the great
est pleasures that Ilood River people
have had in some time. The ladies
of tbe Woman's Club aie sparing no
pains In making these beatiful cos
tumes, and as this for n free lihrary,
everyone lu Hood River should show
their appreciation by being present.

COUNTY PURCHASES
NEW ROCK CRUSHER
I he county court have purchased a
new rock crusher," which will tie in
stalled by June 1 on the road along
tbe Davie plaoe, on the old east side
road, near ttown. A ledge of floe rook
for crushing extends ou iu the road
at that plaoe, miming back on the
Davis dlace. The court wished to tuy
a small piece of ground on wbiob tbls
ro k ledge is situated, but .the price
asked was considered exorbitant, so
concluded to woik the rook wbiob ex
tends into the road.
The uew crusher will be fitted up
wltb bins for boidiug the different
size rock, and some sort of motive
power will have to be provided to
operate the machinery.
The location of tbe rook will make
It a down bill pull to tbe east road,
and witbin a shoit distance to where
it will he used, and tbe work can be
done economically.
Work od a permanent macadamized
road will be commenced at tbe city
limits on the east side, and as much
road will he made this year as are
funds availab e. Tbe oost of install
ing tbe plant this first year wilt ueo
easaiily limit the amount of work to
be done, but next year tbe county
will be in good shapo to extend the
woik several miles.
It is proposed to treat the east aud
west sides alike in the matter of per
manent roads, hut tbe state will he
made on the east side first, and then
take up tbe main highways on the
west side.
