Liberal Proposition.

To the Citizens Of Lebanon and all
a0ii0na II may coHceyn.-
agree to construct a telegraph line
from here to Albany and operate the
same at the usual rates established by
all other telegraph lines, TO furnish
everything and keep it in repair, on
condition Of bonus of three hundred
dollars that If the citizens will donate
that much / will furnish the balance
and obligate myself TO operate the line.
Respectfully, q. E. HARDY.
We believe the offer OF Mr.. Hardy is
reasonable, and that 1t will pay the
business men Of Lebanon to take hold
of and accept the proposition. The
EXPRESS Will take 1-15th of this as
sessment as a matter of public interest
and accommodation. 1t is estimated
that the entire cost, not including the
battery, Office fixtures, etc, will cost at
least four hundred and fifty dollars.
We hope some enterprising townsman
VII bring around a subscription list
and let us put the thing through with
a vim.

Monday evening, June 25th, at
o'clock the first Presbyterian church
of Lebanon was crowded with mem
bers Of the church and congregation to
witness the first installation services
ever held in the church. The church
was tastefully decorated with flowers.
The Rev. c. W. Giboney who has
been supplying the place most accept
ably for the past year was installed as
pastor.
The following ministers from abroad
were present: Rev. Pritchard, Alba
ny; Rev. w. S. Holt, Portland; Rev.
Gillespie, Newport; Rev. III. a. New
ell, Salem; and Rev. j. r. Kirkprt-
rick of the c. p. church of Lebanon
was also present. Rev. L. n. Condits
name appeared on the printed pro-
gramme but not being present his
place was filed by Rev. L. j. Thomp-
son, ID. d., of Corvallis.
The programme was as follows;
Doxology. Invocation, DIR. Thomp-
son; reading of the first chapter OF
Colossians, Rev. J. R. kirkpatrick
prayer, Dr. Thompson; hymn; sermon,
Rev. Prichard. The text was taken
from Collossians, first chapter, and Is
verse. The theme of the discourse
being Christ, the head of the churchi
and true believers the body. He
I brought out clearly the folly of any
one church or denomination consider
/ ing themselves as the church, and all
others second to them. In illustrating
the fact he related dream the noted
Charles Wesley once had, in which he
visited the gate of hell and asked il
any Roman Catholics where there
any of the church of England, any
/ Weslians, and received each time the
1 reply, Eyes, a great many" The re
ply to the last question grieved him
much and turning away he visited the
gate of heaven asking the same ques
tions and receiving the reply each
time, mo- In despair he asked
"Who- then have You here?p awe
know nothing of Roman Catholics
Church of England or Weslians here
We have Christians here and of then
many more than any man can mum
ber." The sermon was adapted to the
occasion and showed deep Thought ane
careful preparation, and wasIably de
livered. The Rev. Holt, as nnoderato

speeial Notice.

On taking charge of this Office We
found number of names ON our mail
ing books who live in Eastern Oregon
and in the Eastern States. The sub
scription list Of large number of these
names show that they are due the
paper for year or more. Now We
suppose that friends here in Linn
county have ordered this paper TO
friends in the East and are unaware Of
the arrearage, we therefore kindly re-
quest our friends and patrons TO al
range the matter at once, or else we
will notify them Of their delinquency
and ask settlement of the same.
These items are small to the iudivid-
uals, but in the aggregate are consider
able to Us.

of scholars and satisfaction Of patrons.
This excellent school closed on the
22d inst. with forty-eight students in
actual attendance, and the people have
shown their appreciation of Prof.
Shanks' faithful work by re-electing
him for another full term, though un-
derbidden by competitor. Any COM
munity honors itself by holding on 10
a good teacher, and this perniseu
habit of alwas changing teachers is the
bane OF our free school system.

AN ANSWER.

LEBANON, ORE, June 20, 1888
EDITOR EXPIRES Dear Mr-In
your last issue was an article from one
q. w. Langford, stating some reports
that We're derogatory to his character.
lie speaks as though the report origin
ated at the Ladies' Aid Society. II Is
base insinuation, and he knows bet
ter. If he would spend some of his
precious time at enc ef our meetings,
instead of the saloon, he would see we
had other business than talking Of
scandal such as his, without motive.
\ few weeks ago the morals Of our
town were such as TO call forth cry
of indignation from its law and order
loving citizens and a movement was
made that, II it did not abolish the
evil, at least modified 10. This report
the gentleman (?l speaks of was going
the rounds at that time, and is IL any
wonder tuat we, IA band OF Christian
women, should inquire into the char
acter of one who had entrance To our
homes? IA mothers, was it not our
right To talk of it? No matter how
learned n person may be in his profess
sion, no matter II he has spent several
years at foreign conservators and can
play on ali musical instruments In
creation-flute included-if his morals
are at all questionable we have right
TO know IT, We understand he called
on the lady who had the audaclty to
repeat this report and she told him
where IL came from. His eyes were
red with the tears he'd she'd etc, and
he made himself so ridiculous with his
boo-hoo-ing that even little children
looked ON in wonder at the strange
proceeding Of caller.
His generosity is commendable, but
If his wealth is what he claims he
might donate this ticket TO some char
liable object, or pay the ExPREss his
printing bill, as we would not care to
visit such doubtful resorts 10 hunt up
anything, much less his char
acter. As for its depressing effect
on his business, it may be that people
have discovered that playing piano ac-
compartments 10 flute Is not thorough
bass.
Please pardon us for taking up so
much of your valuable space, but we
felt this matter must be pat right be-
fore the public. We will add further
that this viii end our controversy
through the paper, but if Mr.. J.. so
desires he can call on US at our next
meeting, where we will discuss the
issue of the day. Thanking you kind
~, we subscribe ourselves,
\ MEMBER or THE l.. 4. Society.

Essays of Ignorance.

A writer in the Independent says !:
"The eating of the trunks Of tree ferns
is stated to have been custom of the
natives of the Sandwich Islands, the
people taking the trunk of tree fern to
a volcano and leaving the trunk there
for cooking over some crack. Afterward
the people would come back and eat the
trunks contents, said to be OF a leathery
taste" One would think in reading this
item, that volcanoes are common things
to have around, all over the islands; and
that a crack here, there, and everywhere
is very much like an ordinary cooking
stove. Will people ever learn that
Kilauea is the one active volcano of the
Islands; and that steam cracks are only
to be found in that vicinity, more than
twenty miles away from the ordinary
habitations and struggling hamlets Of
the leeward side of Hawaii ?-[Com.

Mrs. Bates, of Ohio, known as the
" Nova Scotia giantess," is dead. She
was born nearly forty years ago in Nova

fractions of Barnum's Museum in New
York, narrowly escaping with her life
once when that place was burned.
About fifteen years ago she married
Captain Bates, German giant eight feet

where the couple had house, carriages
and everything constructed on gigantic
scale for their proper comfort.
