N. Wayne Phelps, recently a resi
dent of this county, and now editor
of the Range and Valley, at Amity,
Oregon, spoke to a large audience in
the city hall Iasi Friday night in
answer to two lectures given here
some weeks ago by Priest Doran of
Portland. He also paid attention to
the Catholic Truth Society, with head
quarters in Portland. Evidently his
audience was en rapport with the
speaker, for he received spontaneous
and hearty applause, as he answered
statement after statement made by
the Catholic priest and the alleged
Catholic Truth society’s propaganda.
He stated that the Catholic Bible is
practically the same as the Protest
ant Bible, but that the average Cath
olic has to get written permission
from the Catholic hierarchy to read it.
He also stated that the Roman Cath
olics do worship metal images for
God and the Virgin Mary. He said
that St. Peter, the alleged first Cath
olic Pope, was a married man, and
asked what about the present Pope
and the priests. He scored the Rom
an Catholic hierarev for its activity
in politics as a church, and alleged
that several of the Presidents of the
United States had been killed by Ro
man Catholics. He also read an affi
davit from a man who was partially
initiated into the Knights of Colum
bus, in which the man stated that
he recognized Ben. W. Olcott in the
ranks of the Knights of Columbus,
who sought to initiate him. The can-
didate balked at taking the oath of
the order, and retired from the Port
land lodge uninitiated.
Phelps is out in the Protestant lec
ture field, and interspersed his ad
dress with witty anecdotes that illus-
rated his points. At other times he
hurled his facts with dramatic vehe
mence that brought vigorous response
from the audience.
W. O. Woolever introduced Mr.
Phelps, and closed w’ith an appeal to
Protestants to further encourage such
speakers.

Workmen are now getting the

constructed here for the machinery
from the shop up north, and work
here will be concentrated on the man

to be attached to Fordson tractors.
Mention of this invention was made
in a former issue of the Headlight.
Since that time, three donkeys have
been made, and one has been sold, at

Following the voting of the one
mill tax for fair improvements at’the
recent special election, the county
fair board held a meeting in the cir-

last Wednesday, and talked over plans
for initial improvement of the new
fair grounds which comprise alto-
gether a tract of ninety acres.
After a short session in which mat-
ters were tentatively discussed, the
board ¿went out to the new fair
