Nair's wife. glancing at the shipping

"Well?" said St. Clair finishing his
coffee.

Uncle McQuitty is on board."
Now when st. Clair heard that thing

"Confound Uncle McQuitty." said
he.
1t was the first word of any strength

steadily, and asked:

ST. Clair rose hastily and left the

How Shall We Solve the Problem of the
Drink Evil7
By Theodore l.. Cuyler, D. D.,
L. L. D.
There Is a current story that a
Quaker once discovered thief In
mis- house and taking down his
erandfather's fowling piece, he
quietly said; Friend, thee had bet
ter get out of the way for intep d
to fire this gun right where thee
stands "
With the same considerate spirit
we warn certain good people that
they had better take the decanter
of their table tor we intend to aim
Bible truth right where that ocean
ter stands.
1t Is In the wrong place. 1t has
no more business to be there at all
than the thief had to be In an hon
est Quaker's house. We are not
surprised to find a decanter Of
alcoholic poison on the counter OF
a dram shop whose keeper IS H.
censed to Sc death by measure.
but we are surprised to find 1t on
the table or sid board of one who
processes to b guided by the S 1irit
and the teachings of Gods word.
That bottle stands right In the
range of the following inspired TIT
terance of St Paul: 'EIt Is good
neither to eat fash, nor drink wine,
nor anything whereby your brother
stumbleth.
This text must either 60 out OF
the Christians Bible or the bottle
20 off the Christians table. The
text will not move, and the bottle
must.
The passage itself Is SO clear that
1t can badly admit of a cavil or a
doubt. 1t teaches the lofty and be-
nevolent principal-that abstinence
from things that are necessarily
hurtful to others Is a Christian ex-
pediency that has the grip of a
moral duty.
This sounds at first like very
radical doctrine, but so conservative
an expounder as Professor Hodge
of Princeton has defined the text as
teaching that things which are not
always wrong per sc are to be given
up for the sake Of other.
He says that the legal liberty Of
a goodman Is never to be exercised
where a moral evil will necessarily
flow from 1t. We are never to put
stumbling blocks In the way of 9th.
ers. Good men are bound to sacri
fee anything and everything that Is
counter to the glory of God and de,
structive of the best interests of
humanity.
1t would be easy to prove un-
answerably that alcoholic beverages
are injurious to those who use
them. The famous athlete, Tom
Sayers, was once asked by a gentle
man: "Well Thomas, I suppose
that when you are training you
use.plenty of beefsteaks, and Lon
don porter and pale"

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
REACHING FOR OREGON CITY.
City and Suburban Leases Roadbed From
Southern Pacific.

Oregon City-Residents of Clackamas
say that negotiations have been con-
cluded by which the City & Suburban
railway company, of Portland, has
leased from the Southern Pacific COM
pany the railroad bed of that corpora
tion between Willsburg and Clacka-
mas. There has for many months
been rumors of such deal, and the an
nouncement of it's consummation causes
much speculation locally. The FEAST
bility of such an arrangement is recog-
nized since it is known that the South
ern Pacific company has taken the pre-
llm1nary steps to construct another
roadbed by which its west side trains
may reach Portland from the east side,
the Willamette river to be crossed at
Oswego. From that point the route of
the road will be northerly connecting
with the main line at Willsburg. An
other line will extend from the Oswego
crossing point up the river joining the
main line just below this city. In this
way the railroad company proposes to
avoid the existing heavy grades be-
tween this city and Willsburg, and at
the same time shorten the route by four
miles. The. old line is to be used for
local trains while the heavy traffic will
be transferred to the new line

CHINOOK IS HER NAME.
Transformed Grant Is Finished and Re-
christened.

San Francisco, Oct. 29.-The last
bolt has been driven in the big dredge
Grant, or rather Chinook, as she is
now called, for the gigantic craft was
remarked to the deep seas yesterday
and with the ceremony came change OF
name.
Captain Sanford, of the U. S. A. en-
gineering corps, has arrived at Vallejo
and will superintend tests to be made
on San Francisco bar before taking the
dredge to the Colubmia river, where
lies her special field of duty. These
tests will be made today and if the
Chinook is pronounced satisfactory she
will Immediately proceed to the Co
lumbia river.
That she will work without hitch
is the opinion of Captain Sanford, who
looked her over carefully and ex-
pressed the belief that she is admir-
ably fitted to perform the task laid out
for her.
The Chinook has been already a bet
ter investment than the government
figured on, for estimates show that a
large part of the sum appropriated fol
the work of reconstructing her will be
returned to the navy department.

BIGAPPROPRIATION
CHIEF OF ENGINEERS GIVES OUT
ESTIMATES FOR NORTHWEST.
Recommends That Congress Appropriate
$1,7sO,sO0 for Improving Rivers and
Harbors of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho-Bulk of Msney to Go for im-
provements ON Columbia River.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-General Gil
lespie, chief of engineers, in his annual
report, made public today, recon-
mended the appropriation at the COM
ing session of congress of $1,75O, ZOO
for the improvement of rivers and har-
bors in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
The bulk of the money asked for is
needed to carry on work at the mouth
of the Columbia, to provide 25-foot
channel in the Willamette and Colum-
bia from Portland to the sea, and for
beginning the construction of the ship
canal around the distractions in the
Cello.
For the former projects $500, 900
each is recommended, and for The
Dalles canal, $500, 900. These amounts,
added to the available balance, will
provide ample funds for continuing
work throughout the coming fiscal year,
and the fact that all three of these
works are now known as continuing
contracts" will probably mean that ap-
propriations therefor will be made in
the sundry civil bill and will not de-
pend upon the passage of river and
harbor bill at the coming session.
General Gillespie estimates that it
will cost $2,673, 500 to complete the
Improvement of the lower Willamette
and Columbia rivers, in addition to
$685. ,24O, available from prior appro-
priations, while to complete the south
jettv at the mouth of the Columbia will
require $776, 181, in excess of the ST.
25O, 200 still available and unexpended.
No estimate of the cost of the new ca
nal at The Dalles.. has yet been made.
Among the other appropriations recon-
mended are:
Nine thousand dollars for carrying
out the revised project for improving
the Willamette between Portland and
Oregon City, as suggested by the spec
ial board of engineers; $4,000 for
deepening the channel between Van
couver5 and the mouth of the. Column
bia; $4,000 for completing the ap-
proaches and grounds around the canal
and locks at the Cascades; $4,000 for
continuing clearing of the channel of
the Snake river between Riparia and
Imnaha river; $4,000 for dredging
the Tillamook bay; $4,000 for Coos
river; $50, 900 for producing greater
depth over the bar at the entrance of
Coos Bay; O,O00 for Coquille river,
and $500 for Clatskaanie river.
For strictly Washington improve
ments, the following amounts are
asked:
Lewis river, $1,000; Willapa river,
$4,000; entrance to Gray's Harbor,
$25, 900; tributaries of Puget Sound,
$4,000; Olympia harbor, 5000;
Tacoma harbor, $5,OOO; Everett har-
Dor, $40, 900; New Whatcom harbor,
$35, 900; Pen d'Oreille and Okanogan
rivers, $1,000.

APPEAL TO RED CROSS FOR AID.
rIacedonians Ask Clara Barton to Re.
Iieve Their Distress.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Macedonia' Is
plea for aid in her distress was placed
before Miss Clara Barton, the head OF
the Red Cross society, today. Con-
stantine Stephanov, the special Mace
donian delegate. told Miss Barton OF
the urgency of the situation and begged
her to take immediate action to insure
the forwarding of Red Cross relief to
Macedonia. Miss Barton asked for de-
tailed information as to the character
and scope of the aid needed, and said:
'sThe Red Cross feels that it would
be humane and noble thing for the
American people to undertake to re-
lieve the suffering in Macedonia.
Such a thing would be in keeping with
American tradition in other exigencies.
The situation, in view of the approach
of winter, would seem to require sys-
tematic, substantial and immediate
effort on the part of the people general
ly. Diplomatically the problem would
be an extremely delicate one, and
would require discretion and experience
for its successful solution"
