SARATOGA, May 22-The first days ses-

brought with it two surprises. The pro-
posal in the moderator sermon for a con-

ton during recent years was the first The
second was the election rs moderator on
the first ballot, by a handsome majority
Of man who has been regarded as the
candidate of the liberal party in the church
He is DIR. John l.. Withrow, Of Chicago.
This view of the new moderator's tenden-
cies was stoutly denied, but at all events
his first act was accepted as showing a
determination to be independent of con
troll and dictation. This was call for a
meeting of two representatives from each
presbytery to aid him in the selection of
committees, instead of calling upon few
prominent commissioners for advice

Seneca street side workmen We're engaged
in putting in place new iron columns and
beams when the walls of section of
the building fell in.
Iron columns were twisted like wires
heavy wooden beams were torn to pieces
like paper, walls crumbled to pieces and
a huge cloud Of dust arose, shutting out
the wrecked building for some moments
The immediate cause of the collapse of the
building is supposed to have been the re
moval of too many supporting columns
before the new ones We're placed in posi-.
ton.
Immediately east of the wrecked build
ing was the barber shop pof George Sehnert
At the time of the collapse there We're sev.
eral customers and ten workmen in Sch.

building crashed into the shop, burying
every one therein.

Last Nights Play.

Katie Putnam has been here and is
gone, leaving very pleasant recollections
of her visit. Nothing that can be said
in praise of the little lady will do her
justice, for she is perfect.
The curtain went up promptly at s
O'Clock, as it should, and the ultra-fash-
ionables, who drift in at all hours, lost a
goodly portion of the play. Owing to
the fact that the company had to get
away on the evening train, due to leave
here at 1915, the two last acts of the
play were cut, and then they only got
away by having the train held for
twenty minutes. The tickets were 70
cents and 81, which is pretty steep for
these hard times, but in spite of this
there was quite good house.
Owing to the present time card on the
o. R. & N, every show we have this
winter will have to put the curtain up at
8 o'clock, or before, in order to avoid re-
naming here a whole day after the
show. This being the case, theater-
goers should see to it that they are there
on time.

appointed by the Commercial Club to
look after the matter of laying out and
building a new grade from the free
bridge across the Deschutes. The grade
is badly needed, and should be built
just as soon as the weather permits.
The grade in Sherman county is said
to be first class. but on this side it is in
bad shape, being irregular and running
at all the way from seven to twenty-five
inches to the rod. A preliminary ex-
amin alton of the proposed route has
been made, and it is thought grade
can be made with not to exceed fifteen
inches pitch to the rod. The new grade
would not follow the old one, and so one
great difficulty would be obviated that
exists now, as soon as it was made
passable. At present in the summer
when the wool teams are using the
grade and coming this way it is impos-
sible to get down it on account of their
being no turnouts. While the new
grade should be well provided for in
this respect, it would not be necessary
to make them at once, as the old grade
could be used for while by teams going
down.
We understand money was donated
by Sherman county people to fix their
part of the road, with the understanding
that Wasco county would build and
maintain good grade on this side. As
the ground gets In good condition to
work, the surveys should be completed
so that the work can be pushed to an
early completion. and while the ground
is still moist enough to pack. The
grade should be finished in time for use
by next springs wool teams.
