F6f nlany years delightful legend has
been current among the Spanish SAmeri,

effect that III the midst Of the great viii
derness Of mountains lying hack of this
valley there existed u fertile valley sew
eral miles In extent. but which was cut
OF by lofty and inaccessible peaks which
e0mpletely encircled it. says the San
francisco Gall. Now an attempt is to
be made to locate this hidden valley--an
most thorough search has been made.
The story goes that on one Occa sion
party 81, men looked down upon it from
the mountain summit, and although they

a waterfall which they were unable to
pass: so they were forced to retrace their
steps over the perilous way by which
they have come. When they attempted
to return to the valley they could not

tempts to reach it again. every peak that
they climbed fr0Wneu down upon the
same rugged and barren waste Of mount

commonly been called, has passed into
the history of the county rs romantic
tradition.
A party of Americans hunting through
the ranges back of the Santa Ynez last
year claim to have again come upon this
wonderful valley, but when they returned
to their homes and again set out pre-
pared to thoroughly explore it and per-
haps take government entries they were
unable to find it.
Such faith have they in the valleys

of young men will set out for this place,

that the horsemeat industry down here

a failure we are at loss to know what
to do with these animals. There are
100000 horses in Eastern Oregon that

to let them run Wild upon the ranges
for they will breed so fast that the coun-

arose in the audience and took issue on the
question With him. The lawyer demanded
twenty minutes IN which to make reply.
and the congrega ton acclaimed that he be
given the time. He pronounced the sugges-
ton as demagogy, and at the end of the
twenty minutes the minister was forced to
retract what he had said. That minister
had no business in the pulpit--he had de-
stroyed his influence.
We are in the midst of an election. Part
or the people in the congregation of the
church will be disappointed at the result
If the minister should have taken up par
tisan politics in his sermons the Sabbath
following the election the politically dis
appointed members of his church would
say: I'll not go to church, because we are
whipped. and can't go to church and hear
that minister preach who has preached the
principe that helped defeat our candidate
Thus ministers will have lessened their in
fiuence. Over the portals of the church
should be emblaz0ned, Peace be within thy
walls When men, wearied with the strife
of the week, come into Gods house there
ought to be something of eternal calm and
rest there. 1t is the business of Gods
house to harmonic all. The church loses
its modifying influence when it enters the
political arena. 1t is the business of the
minister to seek and to save that which Is
lost. Politics Is honorable, but that is not
his profession. Storekeeping is honorable
for the man who is storekeeper. The
various legitimate businesses are honorable
for those who are engaged in them But
If were to open a grocery store across tho
street my people would soOl say, We don I
want that kind OF a preacher. You have a
right to demand of the minister, This one
thing 1 do and the minister who has the
true love of God in his heart will do that
one thing alone. The minister VINO is true
to his calling and has the love of his mis-
sion implanted in his heart is ike the old
soldier of Napoleon who. when the sur
geon was probing near his heart for a
bullet looked up into his face and said:
Probe a little deeper and you will see the
face of the Emperor

elected to the presidency compared to the
question, Are you elected, your own self,
