The Oregon Railway and Northern Paci-

association to make a rate OF one fare

Portland this summer for the medical
convention. The association refused to
make the rate lower than one and one

The roads superintendent came here
with the intention of opposing a single
fare for the round trip to the Eastern
conventions unless Portland was given
the same reduction. The committee has
agreed to the single fare for Portland.

convention at st. Louis; the Democratic
convention at Chicago: the Grand army

at Milwaukee seems assured.

SO1IE PR1YING

phe Rev, Henry II, Couden, chaplain of the House of Representatives, is a fervent prayer, and also. as the record shows, an effectual one, When Con- gress opened in December he prayed thus; Heavenly Father, let peace reign throughout our borders. Yet may we be quick to resent anything like an Insult to thls our nation" The quickness with which we resented Eng lands refusal to arbitrate the Vene- zuelan matter must have satisfied Brother Couden. He couldn't ask for anything quicker,
 Yesterday Brother Couden asked the Lord that 'an disputes arising between the civilized nations of this earth might be settled by the peaceful and Christian methods of arbitration. and thus 'the evils of war be averted." If this prayer is as abundantly answered as the other was all may yet be well,
