0REG0N'S CAPTAIN
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S DESIRE.
Wants the Gallant Clark Made q
Resr Alphabetically APP
preciates Run From
San Francisco.

President Roosevelt has determined to
make special effort to give additional re-
ward to Capt. Charles E. Clark, who
commanded the battleship Oregon in the
war with Spain, and the visit of Captain
Clark to Mr.. Roosevelt on Saturday had
something to do with the matter, al
though 1t is understood the visit also con-
cerned the case OF Admiral Schley.
Not Sufficiently Rewarded.
The President believes that Captain
Clark was not sufficiently rewarded for
his war services by being advanced six
numbers in his grade. Captain Glarks
advancement was based on the mag
nificent performance of the Oregon in the
battle with Cerveras ships, but the
President regards the run of the vessel
from San Francisco to the West Indies
as worthy of reward also. and even
greater reward than that received by
Captain Clark for his conduct in battle.
Requires Special Legislation.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made many enqui-
ries to ascertain whether he car confer
additional honors on Captain Clark with
out special legislation but it is understood
that he has discovered that all legal
means to that end have been exhausted.
He has, therefore, concluded i. is be-
lieved. to ask Congress TO create an ad-
ditional number in the grade of rear ad-
mirals for the special benefit of Captain
Clark. who will be advanced to that rank
from his present position, number on
tie list of captains.
II this should be accomplished the
President will assign Captain Clark to
any duty beftting his rank which that
officer may desire

presented by an attractive company of
shapely girls. who sing and dance well,
and the laughter provoking ingredient is

The bill is full of novelty and features,
and the fun and snap begins with the rise
of the curtain on a mixture of nonsense
and music, entitled THE Isle of Bliss in
which Miss Blanche Washburn. a local
favorite, Josie Flynn and May Strehl en-
tertain In pleasing fashion. One of the
funniest men seen at Kernan's this season
is Larry McCale. His brisk. though clean,
fun carries the burlesque entitled THE
Thoroughbreds' with rush to the final
curtain.
Between the two burlesques are given
speciality acts of more than ordinary

There is much rejoicing in those parts of the country where steel mills are hourishing over the recent ruling of Supreme Commander Markey by which workers in several branches of the steel industry are no longer held to be ineligible to membership in our order. Coal miners, clay workers and miners underground are also held by the supreme commander to be eligible to social membership.
 More suspensions can be attributed to negligence than to any other one cause.

Thesry and Practice.

Professor Leroy Anderson, Instructor In dairy husbandry at Berkeley uni versity, California, spent about ten days, Ian. 1 to 10, about Los Angeles. remaining at dairies and creameries giving practical instruction in this great and growing work. Professor Anderson Is very popular with diary men of this section. and his services are much sought after. There is a state appropriation for carrying on this work.
 One of the weak points in connection with station work Is the tendency for the experimenters to become theoret- ical dairymen rather than practical workers, says Hoard's Dairyman. It Is easy to consider dairy subjects from the standpoint of the test tube and a clean milk supply, and the results worked out from such conditions ire quently fail when applied to actual dairy conditions. A getting out of the workers, as In the above case of Pro- lessor Anderson, would add much to the value of the station work.

plow 10 change your heart? Will you take the good seed in your hand and go forth to SOW to the Spirit, so that you may reap life everlasting?
 When John Todd was lying upon his dying bed, he had a strange vision. An angel seemed to lead him up and up until the dying man stood upon the heights of a great mountain. Then the angel asked him, Dying man, dost thou see anything?" And as John Todd shaded his eyes to look he saw away of in the distance a fiend incar- nate. The face of that fiend had upon 1t the look of unutterable woe. The features were so hideous and the suf- ferings of this lost spirit were so great that John Todd hid his face in his hands. crying: Enough, enough! I cannot look any longer. Then the angel turned and said. That lost spirit, O dying man, would have been your own had not your soul been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb" Then the angel of the Lord said, Look. O dy- ing man, lookp And as John Todd lifted his eyes again, behold, there was SGSh AA "oo kuh with a robe as white as the driven snow. The eyes were as loving as the purest love could express. The lips were moving in joyful praise. The hands were clasped about the figure of a cross. Then again spake the angel of the Lord, Dying man, that Is to be your redeemed spirit, your spirit cleans ed by Christ's blood, your spirit which shall never die" Then John Todd awoke. He said he knew not whether he had seen a vision or had been talk ing face to face with Christ.
 So, like John Todd's vision, this ser mon teaches two lessons: The one points down the road over which are dragged the tares that are to be burned in the everlasting fires. The other points down the road over which the sheayes of wheat are triumphantly carried into the gospel granaries. May the prayers of our loved ones and the sacrifice of Christ plead prevailingly with us not to SOW corruption, but life everlasting. Yet all human beings are free agents to do as they will. They can accept or reject Christ. They can gather either harvest For whatso- ever 6 man soweth, that shall he also reap"

Lea. Chee.e I'm C.r.a.

At a meeting of the Montreal Dairy and Cheese association a resolution was adopted authorizing circular to the dairymen of Canada strongly ad- yising them to turn their attention to butter more generally and to discontin- ue the manufacture of cheese entire each year after Nov. 1. The reasons for this course are that fodder cheese on the market reduces consumption, and it is only grass goods that are of a quality sufficient to increase demand; that the consumption of cheese is di- minishing. while that of superior creamery butter is increasing; that the price of butter is higher on an average all the year round than that of cheese: that the manufacture of butter is more profitable than cheese. These are all good reasons why the Canadian dairy men should make less cheese and more butter.
