At present we feel sanguine that the last efforts of the people of this county to obtain harbor im­ provements which will mean something for Tillamook , will tie crowned with success. [ We have always predicted that Tillamook would become a second Grays Harbor as soon as the bar was improved, and from preseut indications in a few more years this prophecy will lie fulfilled. ) It now all centers on the report of the board of engineers and the engineers at Washington whether their re­ port will lie favorable and in time to be incorporated in the preseut rivers and harbors bill. The Oregon delegation will do its utmost to help pushing it through at this session, and if successful the money will be available this summer. It is highly gratifying that the out­ look is so bright for harbor im­ provements, thanks to those of our citizeus who are interested iu the development of the coun­ ty and the co-operation of the timber owners.

The Revival Meetings. “Chicken Come Home to Roost” was alright. It was like all the rest of Mr. Taylor’s sermons, right to tile point anil although the majority got hit still no fair min.cd man could do anything but grin and bear it. The truth hurts but it is best not to let anyone know it, “Regeneration,” the great Sunday morning sermon was so plain that no child could help understanding every point, but Sunday night Mr. Taylor gave a great talk on the “Question of the Ages,” which was certainly delivered in a masterful way. It was worthy of more atten­ tion, not alone for the good derived but for the chance of listening to so great oratorical ability. No collections have been taken during the week, for the past two weeks, but on next Suuilay there will be a "Free Will” offering taken for the benefit of G. W. Taylor and Company. Each night Mrs. Taylor gives a cornet solo which is worth going two miles to hear. All her solos are high class music such as Schubert's Serenade. No man can listen to her play without having a thrill go throngh his veins. Mr. Wegner has sang some of the finest songs to be obtained the past week, among them was "Shadows” a song of the highest class, sang in a masterful way. Next Sunday will be Mr. Taylor’s last day in Tillamook when he promises to give three of the best talkB he has yet given. Sunday morning he will talk on the “Mission of the Church,” at 2:30 p.m., “The Farces That Win,” and at night he will give the crowning sermon cf the series, “Too Late.” Up to the present time there have been about 85 conversions which speaks well for the ability of Mr. Taylor. Postponement of “Arizona.” 5, 19)1 Attractive Tltl*. The difficulty of using a foreign lan­ guage was amuslugly illustrated when a certala mission started work tn Chi­ na. They were in some perplexity, says Rev. Lord Gaecoyue-CecU in “Chaugiug China,” as to the title they should choose for tbelr society. They wanted to couvey to tbe Chinese that their denomination claimed especially to feed the souls of meu. They ex­ plained all this to an educated Cbiua- matt and quoted well known texts. He immediately wrote down two char­ acters and assured them (but they rep­ resented what they bad said about the spiritual food that they provided and would also be very popular with tbe Chinese, as indeed It proved. The moment they opened the door of the chapel they were besieged by hun­ dreds of Chluese of the poorer class, who. after listening for a short time, "went away discontentedly. The mis­ sionaries found out afterward that the title given to them, literally translated, was “health giving free restaurant”— a most attractive title to the hungry Chinese! Proof of His Generosity. The teacher had a class in English literature before her. The subject for the day was Gray’s "Elegy.” She had asked the class to bring it* questions ou the life of Gray. These questions were to be deposited in a box which was to be opeued before tbe class and each question rend aloud. If no one could answer it the one who contrib­ uted It was to be called on for the au- swer. Tbe first slip drawn out contained this: “Give a proof of Gray’s generosity.” The teacher thought of wliat a re­ cluse Gray had been uud of how little Interest he had ever shown in his fel­ lows, and she wondered how any one could have received the Impression that be was generous. Every one looked blank, and no one attemped to answer. The girl who Wrote tbe question was called ou for her “proof," and this is what she said, “He gave to misery all he had—a tear.” —National Monthly.

They W*re Good Soldiar*, and Som« Became Good American*. There Is n popular latlief among some people that the llcsslau mercenaries brought lure by the British govern­ ment to fight the Amerieaus remained here after the war was over ami that their descendants constitute a consid­ erable element of the Pennsylvania Germans of today. Comparatively few remained here after the war. because tbe British government was under con­ tract to return such as esiaped the casualties of .th* war after It was over. The few that remained made good citi­ zens, as they made the very best sol­ diers against the Amerieaus, aud whenever it was practical to do so they were put iu the most responsible places by the British commanders. The Intense hatred at one time against the so called Hessian soldiers, some of which still lingers with the present generation, is very unjust, be­ cause they did not, volunteer to tight against the American*, but they were forced into tbe British service by tbe Impecunious German princes who sold them to the British like so many slaves. The Hessian soldiers would sometimes take tt notion to desert, and they invariably found refuge among some of the German colonists. A con­ siderable number of them were left behind from time to time on inarches, on account of sickness or wounds, These always found a ready welcome among German settlers: few of them ever found the way back to their nn five laud.—“Pennsylvania Germans,” by William Hehlelman. LIBERTY BELL It* Connection With the Declaration of Independence. The fatuous Liberty bell was cast In London in 1752, brought to America and subsequently recast In Philadel­ phia. It bears the inscription, ‘‘Pro­ claim Liberty Throughout the World and to All the Inhabitants Thereof." It waacrackad while being tolled after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall lu 1835. It Is kept on exhibition in In­ dependence’hall, Philadelphia. It lias had a fictitious importance owing to the popular liellef that its ringing pro­ claimed the adoption of the Declara­ I tion of Independence on July 4, 1770. Concerning this belief, however, Fried- enwald in his ‘‘Declaration of inde­ pendence” (1!M*4) says: “There is no shadow of authority even for associating the ringing of the bell with the announcement of the agreement upon Independence. The mythical legend of the blue eyed boy waiting outside the door to give the signal to the man In the bell tower la tbe product of tbe fertile Imagination of one of Philadelphia’s early ro­ mancers, George Llppurd, who first gave currency to It In his appropriate­ ly cnlled ’Legends of the Revolution.'
