the morning of May oath the whole
amount was provided for and seven
hundred dollars besides.
A happier company than that as
semhled on that beautiful May. morning
is seldom if ever seen, and when the
that thirty -one hundred dollars had been
pledged we could hardly believe our own
senses. The pastor, however, took the
precaution to exact a pledge from the
congregation not to be offended in case
more than the needed amount should be
pledged. r@@[ 81 ltg==-m
1t was this that prompted the ladies
to arrange for the reception, and SO
show in some slight degree our apprecia-
tion of the timely services of Bro. Tay-
lor. At about eight o'clock the people
began to gather in the church parlors.
A little later the congregation sang "All
hail the power of Jesus name," followed
by prayer by the pastor.
Mrs. Geo. E. Green sang, in her. own
pleasant style solo entitled whether
my heart be glad or no. to the delight
of all.
The pastor, Rev. &. R. Burnside made
known to Brother and Sister Taylor the
object of the gathering, y hich up to this
time was a profound secret to them.
In answer to this unexpected demon
stration Brother and Sister Taylor made
some very appropriate and affecting re-
marks. An additional surprise was the
presentation to them of life size portraits
of.the pastor and his wife. Then came
the cordial "hand shake'h'in which all
participated.
very pleasant feature of the occasion
was the serving of ice cream and cake
by, the ladies. z y 50 ''"'ss e,
This is bright spot in the history of
the Dearborn street Baptist church.
Bro. Taylor has greatly endeared him
self to this people, as he had many years
ago to the pastor and his family. He
has erected in our hearts a monument
that will be new when the church edifice
is old or crumbled to dust. A monu-
ment that will not decay, but like the
greatest of the Christian graces, ''abide
forever.
What church can do when there is
faith and courage to undertake, is well
illustrated in the case of our Dearborn
st. Church. On May oath, under the
lead of Pastor Burnside and the Rev. o.
d. Taylor, of Oregon, an effort was made
to extinguish the old nightmare of a
debt of 50 400. Bro. Taylor led off ha nd
somely in his gifts, and the people Sec
onded his generosity, until subscriptions
amounting to over IS ,0G0 were made. 1t
will take a year, perhaps, before the
subscriptions are all paid, but the sub
scribers will pay, and in few months
the goodpeople of Dearborn ST.. will in
vite us all to join with them in the dox-
ology. ByRev. George Whitman, pas
tor of the Cedar street Baptist church,

JEFFERSON SIMPLICITY APocH-.
.s-5,. RYPHAL.- TX,

A very absured impression is abroad
as to the simplicity Of the hives and
manners of the founders of this repub-
lie. In their day men were much more
formal with each other than are we, of
today Their style of dress would be
considered ridiculously elaborate even
by a modern dude. To attend such a
meeting as congress s'the gentleman
valet .combed and drew, back the long
hair, tied it with bow of ribbon to
match the coat to be worn and covered
it thickly with perfumed powder, then
helped to put on his masters coat of silk
or satin, often of brilliant hue and
nearly always more or less embroidered,
buckled ON. the always worn rapier,
handed him his laced hat and called his
coach. The low shoes were ornamented
with buckles, the silken hose, the satin
breeches fastened at the knee with orna-
ments, generally like those upon the
shoes, of gold, the shirt and neckcloth
of lawn profusely decorated with costly
laces, and the long latin waistcoat had
been donned before and the gentleman

ready to take his seat The manner of
the ''father of his country" himself,
must have been far from simple if it be
true, as related, that governor Morris,
an intimate and highly esteemed friend
of the president, won wine supper for
daring to say to Washington, "My dear
general 1 am glad to see you looking 80
well, ~ and the governor afterwards de-
clared that no human inducement could
tempt him to take like liberty again.
Even Jefferson's celebrated ride on
horseback to his Inauguration was the
result Of an accident, so far as the horse
back part was concerned, for Jefferson
had purchased coach and four for the
ceremony which did not arrive on time,
and thus a simple necessity, through the
lapse of years, has been turned into a
virtue, and an incident is now credited
to Jefferson Simplicity"

RAILROAD TO
COUNTY.
SHERMAN

Before the end of the week, it is ex-
pected that surveying party will be in
the field, locating line of railroad be-
tween this city and some point in Sher-
man county. Lieut.. Norton will have
charge of the survey and from him we
learn that it is his intention to start
about next Thursday or Friday. 1t is
intended to cross the divide between
Ten Mile and the Deschutes and follow
the most practical route from the Des-
chutes to the point of destination. The
road is intended to serve the purposes of
portage around the Cello and Dalles
rapids and means of outlet for the
great agricultural resources of Sherman
county. 1t is not intended, so we are
informed, to conflict with the road to
Dufur and Tygh Valley but rather to be
a part of one system whose terminal
point will be The Dalles. We have no
reason to think that the men at the back
of this movement do not mean business.
They ask nothing of the people towards
the cost of survey and location and the
road, and intend to ask nothing till their
plans are completed, and then only such
assistance as may be within the means oi
the persons who will be directly benefit
ed by the road. We heartily wish the
enterprise success and we have a grow.
ing assurance that not many years ol
) perhaps months will pass till our wishes
will be realized.

rhe Notiee. Are Am Righ..

Visitors to the clerks Office of the su-
perior court who have occasion to use
the writing table that stretches across
the room have been startled recently by
large placards tackled about two feet
apart informing whom. it may con-
Germ that ..these inkstands must not
be taken away" Since these ink
stands" are about the size of the average
hat, and are kept filed with ink, the
warning seems quite as gratuitous as it
would be to placard notices to people not
to walk off with red hot stove.
A lawyer who took offense at these
notices got one of the Office veterans in
a corner the other day and asked him if
he did not think such notice was car
rying joke perilously far. The veteran
shook his head. and in saddened tones
thus answered:

A Drummer s..~.sh.s. Q, {. g

It was Ia the old days. when trslvefing
by stage coach was more common than
it is at present, that the then archbishop
of Paris. Monseigneur- Affre, voyaging
to a nearby parish, took place in dill
gence with a number of gentlemen Of
different social stations. Among the
group was young drummer for busi-
ness house who. like his successors of a
later era, was ever on the lookout for a
good story in his own mind and practi-
cal joke. The clerical standing of the
archbishop did not exempt him even
from attempts at banter or witticisIn,
but with the consideration he thought
due to the company present he passed
the youngsters efforts over with merely
an indulgent smile Waxing bolder by
this apparent immunity, the young trav-
eler at last went beyond all bounds of
proper respect. 80
Scan you tell me, your grace" he
asked spiritedly, the difference between
the archbishop and an ass!'

tomary courtly manner and without the
least appearance of offense OF resent
ment, replied that he could not.
Because" replied this clown in his
own little circus, '+the-ene bears a cross
on his breast and the other on his back. y
! The sally. such as it was. was met by
the most frigid silence by all the pas
sengers save the archbishop. who smil-
ingly inquired:
'.Now, in my turn, I'd like you to tell
us the difference between commercial

Up to June 18th Mo ,dy's warehouse
in The Dalles had received 1918, $50
pounds of wool, and it is likely there had
been an equal amount stored in the
Wasco warehouse. By the middle'of
June little over one-half of the wool is
delivered at The Dalles, so at a rough es-
innate, it is safe to say in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 pounds of wool will be

Chief of Police Delbrugge yesterday
received another complaint of the
"short term order business. This time
it is from man at Norfolk, Va, who
alleges that two Of his friends were
swindled BY the scheme Of Wheeling
company. The Chief has so far found
it impossible to do anything, as he is
advised that the operations OF these or
ders are technically legll. The writer
of the present letter incoses n circular
Of the Fraternity Of Financial Coop
Grafton" This fraternity" oilers ito
pay $3.50 to each member who holds q
continuous membership for the term OF
six months" but makes the significant
proviso: provided that said member
secures three good members during the
first three weeks Immediately following
the date OF the membership, or so will
be deducted from the certificate"
The estimated cost of $3.50 in six
months, or four months II five good
members are secured during the first
four weeks, is stated ut S57.
If this S57 were all paid in when the
certificate is issued it must in four
months earn S97, or over 17O per cent,
That is earning money at the rate Of 80
per cent year, and the question natur.
ally arises, how can it be done? The
fact is. it cannot be done. One man
takes out certificate, and induces
three others togo in. Their $57 apiece
pays the first man, and leaves 81 for
officers fees end expenses. Afterwhile
there will be scarcity OF suckers to
work on, and something will drop.
The fact that these companies in the
aggregate have assets amounting to only
a small percentage OF their liabilities

ligent man. The trouble is that it is
not on the intelligent class that the
