Sunday returned home last Thursday night from his 10 weeks' evangelistic campaign in New York city, meetings characterized by the forceful preacher as the most wonder ful in which he has ever participated. Friday the Hood River friends of the man whose list of converted sinners reaches toward the million mark, as they Kreeted him. were told by Mr. Sunday that he was an automobile fan and a farmer. Billy Sunday declares that he is here to rest. "You tell the people of Ore gon and Hood River for me," he said, ' that one of the warmest recesses of my heart is reserved for them. I have had scores of invitations, all the way from the Adirondacks to Southern Cal ifornia, to go and spend the summer as the guest of the different communities. I appreciated them, too, but they could not woo me away from our home here ii the pure air of Oregon, where the sun shines so brightly on the most nat urally wonderful place 1 have ever vis ited. I consider Pasadena, Cal., as the most beautiful place that 1 have ever seen, lrom an artificial standpoint. But Mother Nature made the Hood River Valley, and we human beings can't improve on her work." Mr. Sunday had no mure than alight ed from the train with Mrs. Sunday a d their youngest son, Paul, when he began to question his halt brother, L. C. Heizer, manager of his Odell ranch place, about the favorite stock, the rops and as eager as a boy discussing an approaching circus, he plied Mr. Heizer about the big new Packard truck that was purchabed last fall. Garbed in the raiment of a ranch hand Mr. Sunday was out Friday morning at the crack of day, and after a hearty country breakfast, he accom panied Mr. Heizer to thecity tor the trunks, making his first trip aboard the new truck. To be sure, he was not averse to dis cussing with his Hood River friends Friday morning phases of his great re ligious campaign just closed in the world's metropolis, and when he turned his thoughts to Bill Kaiser he lapsed into the direct and forceful language that has made the name of Billy Sun dayg famous, the sight of that big two ton Packard interrupted the flow ol bis words at f reaucnt intervals. A veteran turf man was never proud er of a record smasher than Mr. Sun day of his new truck. "Isn't she a beauty," was his most frequent ex pression. and he pointed out to the crowds that gahtered to greet him the tine points, according to his estimation, in his truck. The -big vehicle was purchased by Mr. Sunday for two purposes. It will be used in transporting to market the fruit and other products or his ana his brother's ranch. But it is so arranged that seats can be placed on the huge body and this accomplished, according to Mr. Sunday's plans, the car will be filled to overflowing with the kiddies of the neighborhood, who will be given numerous picnic treats this summer, young Paul Sunday playing host. Mr. Sunday did not linger long in the citv Friday morning. "I am need ed on the farm," he said, "and I will be at the business end of a hoe within an hour, setting an appetite for lunch. Between now and September you will not see very much of me. 1 am turning farmer, littrally speaking., a horny handed son of the soil. I Tike it. - The Oregon air and the work of turning the soil and the pleasure of watching God's plants grow gives the vigor that makes possible mv many sermons. I want to be fit when I leave here in September for Lob Angeles "I want to congratulate you, Mr. Sunday.on your New York campaign," someone said. "Successful." replied Mr. Sunday. "Sir, that word doesn't fit the occa sion at all. I can't find a word for it. It was the most wonderful meeting 1 have ever had. Why, we had the big gest building ever erected for the ac commodation of huge crowds. The tab ernacle held 22,000 people, and every night for the entire 10 weeks it was crowded. We bad a total oi ys.zuu con versions. The last night 8,000 men and women confessed Christ. Do you won der that I beam gratitude and thanks giving? Never has my homecoming meant auite so much to me. Ma. who was operated on for appendicitis while we were in New York and who was verv sick for a time, has regained her health, but she needs this open air life of the Hood River valley to bring her entirely back to her old self. Numerous congratulations were ten dered Mr. Sundav on the magnanimity of his gift of $156,000, the total of his New York receipts, which were divided equally between the New York city i. M. C. A. and the Red Cross. The min ister declared that he wished he could have given more. "This great war that we Americans are now engaged in for the deliverance of humanity from the heel of Prussian militarism," he cried, "while it is one of the awfullest things ever visited on the human race, is doing a wonderful thing for us Americans, in that it is drawing us together. In my stay in New York city and my. travel across the continent and a week's stay in our old home in Winona Lake.Ind., I failed to find a Republican or a Democrat Everybody was American. I'm poorer because of the great war, and millions of other fellow citizens are just like me, but I am healthier and happier. The sacrifices that we are being called on to shoulder are wonderful benents. They are levelling us. "And what do I think of the warT I have no fight with the people of Ger many, but I have a mighty big one with kaiserism. Prussian autocracy roust die or we will. That's all there is to it Both of us might talk until we were black in the face, but that's all there is to it. But thank God the American people are aroused to the necessity of the hour, and let me tell you that just as sure as you and I are standing here beside this truck, the first of the Hohenzollerns is doomed." During the course of his interview Mr. Sunday related an experience he had in New York city on his meeting with CapU von Rentlein, charged as a k German spy. "The man refused to shake hands with me because of my charges and bitter attacks of the kaiser. I did not lose any time in letting the man know my sentiment and I told him that I would see him and all like bim in hell before I retracted one utterance or thought about bis kaiser " William A. Sunday. Jr., second son of the evangelist, will join his parents here within the next 10 days.

Magnificent Sam Raised by Red Cross and Members of Twelfth Company Dance Ends Festivities MEMORIAL TRIBUTE PAID DECEASED JURIST 5r - - - 1 ;" " "The shadow of a deep personal loss is resting on all of us," were the open ing words Thursday afternoon of Judge Fred W. Wilson, of The Dalles, who presided at the memorial meeting of the local bar to the late W. L Brad shaw, of The Dalles, who passed away suddenly in Portland week before last. Continuing, Judge Wilson, who was appointed by Governor Withcyombe to succeed Judge Bradshaw, called the attention of the assembled members of the bar and the numerous citizens of town and valley to the historic signifi cance of the passing of the beloved jurist. "When Judge Bradshaw 26 years ago took his seat," said Judge Wilson, "it was necessary to reach the county seats of the different counties by stage coach. The court houses, now com modious structures, were then ill ar ranged and small. Today the court centers may be reached bv trains and the eastern Oregon country has devel oped wonderfully." A memorial resolution, presented by District Attorney Derby, was adopted. A touching tribute was paid to the memory of Judge Bradshaw by E..L. Smith, who also eulogized the parents of . Judge Bradshaw' successor, who he declared came from a noble parent age. Judge Wilson's father, Joseph G. Wilson, served as a member of congress and was also on the bench to which his son has succeeded. Judge Wilson's mother was a pioneer teacher of Oregon, having taught at Willam ette valley points while Oregon was still a territory. Brief talks were made by the fol lowing attorneys : John Baker, E. H. Hartwig, E. C. Smith and J. H. Haz- lett. Mr. Baker was so overcome with grief that he broke down with weening in the midst of his speech. Judge R. C. Glanville, formerly of the supreme court of Nebraska who has resided for the past several years on a local orchard, and Truman Butler, who was a .pioneer of The Dalles, paid a few brief words of tribute to Judge Bradshaw. During the course of the memorial meeting the bell over the city hall was tolled. The chair that Judge Brad shaw occupied while holding court here was in the court room, a bow of crepe on its back. The memorial resolution adopted fol lows: "The time has come when the attor nev of this bar are called upon to ex press their deep sorrow at the death of our beloved friend and judge, William L. bradshaw. "We realize that at such a time words are of little avail in evidencing the emotions with which our hearts are filled. His life has closed untime ly. . His work and his wisdom are per petuated in the written records of the law for more than 25 years, but writ ten larger in the hearts of those who knew and loved him for his genial kind ness and humanity. His rugged char acter, his innate honesty and ever pres ent desire for justice made association with him a privilege and a pleasure which cannot be written except in terms of loving memory." TEACHERS WILL CLIMB OLD HOOD County Commissioner Hannum, R, J. Mclsaac and J. F. Candee are act ing as a Hood River county committee in making preparations lor tne enter' tainment of a party of eastern teach ers, delegates to the National Educa tional Association convention, who will leave Portland July 14 for a side trip at the base of Mount Ho"d. Blankets will be provided for the visiting edu cators, and a commissary will be es tablished at a sitely location on Sand Canyon, deep in the national forest. The Mazamas, who had charge of the outing, will provide guides, and numer ous ascents of Mount Hood will be made, and journeys will be taken into the beautiful mountain meadows.

It was a great day for Hood River, for tribute was paid to the members of the artillery company, who received an ovation as they marched in the parade. The thin line of old veterans of the Civil War as they passed in review in their uniforms of blue, brought cheers. The parade was an elaborate one, and the citizens with their automobiles, the members of fraternal organizations, the town and valley patriotic organiza tions, the Girls' Honor Guard, all de serve commendation for their work in mking the day a success. Rev. Hilly Sunday won plaudits of his Hood River neighbors for his par ticipaton in the day's events. Rev. Sunday and his family came early and helped to make the day a red letter one for Hood River. He drew hundreds to the big baseball game by umpiring that event. Geo. R. Wilbur, one of the town's most fluent orators, gave the day's chief address. Dr. F. C. Brosius, ranking major of the Oregon Medical Ke serve Ltorps, the day s grand mar shal, added another touch of the mili tary. The day was a tribute to the 10,000.- 000 ready for the universl service that is asked of them, of the national guardsmen and of the volunteer boys who have already rallied to their coun try's call and are at the front or in training.

Although every endeavor was made to secure a complete list of the Hood River volunteers, it was felt that the list might not be complete, and the big audience was called on to report any names of boys who had been over looked. The Hartley block, where booths had been constructed for the' Red Cross workers and the Honor Guard girls, was an array of national colors. Car penters were busy as early as Monday erecting these places. The town was gaily decorated. The streets were prepared and their gala dress made ready by the soldier boys. All merchants vied with each in put ting on dress parade their store win dows. In the afternoon the sports attracted their crowds. Hundreds gathered at the concessions to enioy the entertain ment provided by the town's talented musicians, singers and comedians. The luncheoning quarters of the Red Cross women were never empty. And last night the greatest Fourth of July ever held in Hood River, was brought to a close with a great open air dance.
