Forty Printers strike.

Forty printers, employed by the
Spokesman-Review and Chronicle
went out at 7 o'clock Monday night on
account Of the refusal Of the company
to pay a new wage scale. The matter
has been in dispute since last December
and was arbitrated locally in favor Of
the Review, but the International Typo
graphical union failed to agree to the
terms of the arbitration. The papers
charge President Lynch, of the Inter-
national, with violating the terms Of the
agreement to arbitrate.

I've and Hot Grease.

Milton Eagle: Mrs. Vim. Anderson
had narrow escape from the loss of
both eyes. She was making soap and
han dropped a can Of lye into kettle of
hot grease. While bending over the
mixture stirring it, streem suddenly
shot up into the air, striking the lady in
the face and narrowly missing her eyes.
The mixture was so strong with lye that
it took the skin Off wherever it struck
and would have undoubtedly destroyed
her sight had it gotten into her eyes

Christ who came forth from God.

"On this foundation of the personal
Christ we are to build our personal
faith, personal service, personal self
denial, 1t is the unit, and not the mob,
that counts in the divine mathematics.
There is work enough for all, honor
enough for all, while to God belongs the
glory.
"The Methodist Episcopal church
stands for the highest type Of patriotism
in national affairs; for purity at the bal
lot box; love Of country that magnifies
her virtues and corrects her vices. She
stands for the independence of the in
vidual conscience. Her mission is to
teach movable religion, a conscious
salvation. She represents fraternity of
spirit, desiring "a league, offensive and
defensive, with every soldier of Jesus
Christ. :"

THE CORNER STONE.
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES AT
M. E. CHURCH SITE.
Revs. II. H. Marvin, Bracken Koontz,
Sanderson and Armfeld Con
duct Interesting Service.

|
! The impressive ceremonies of the
laying of the corner stone of what will
be oneof the finest and most imposing
structures of the kind 10 Eastern Ore
gon, took place Wednesday at p. NJ,
in this city, when the beautiful white
marble block, appropriately inscribed,
was placed on the stone foundation Of
of the new Methodist Episcopal church.
The solemn ritualistic services were
read, after invocation and prayer by
Revs. w. E. Arm6eld of this city and
Bracken Koontz of HillYard, Wash, by
Rev. Sanderson, pastor at Milton, with
responsive reading. The choir sang an
appropriate hymn, after which Rev. NJ.
H. Marvin, of Walla Walla, gave short
address relative to the subject, synop-
sis Of which we print below.
I Rev. Armfeld presented the tin cas-
ket, containing the names Of the present
pastor, board of trustees, architect,
contractors, and all subscribers to the
church fund;a photograph Of the for
mer church building; copy of the
ATHENA Pass. date July 24, 1908, and
a silver dime, date 1902, which was
placed in the recepticle in the corner
stone prepared to receive it, and sealed
for the inspection Of some far off future
I generation. The stone was then adjust
ed to place by the masons and the cure-
monies were over. Mr.. Marvin's ad-
dress IN part, follows:
"Ephesians 2. 1922: Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone"
ut is risky to trife with foundations;
ii is still more risky to trihe with corner
/ stones. A corner stone is that on which
! anything is founded. It is Of supreme
!; Importance; it is indispensable to the ex-
istence and safety of the structure. The
corner stones of domestic happiness are
fidelity to the marriage vow and faith
in each other. The corner stones Of a
community's prosperity are education,
cultivated conscience, patriotism and
Christianity, Patriotism must be ex-
aIed and broad, not low and local. The
corner stone OF national loyalty and fra
ternity was laid IN the honorable peace
when, after the struggle Of the sixties,
the blue stone Of the North was laid in
| the gray mortar Of the South.
"The corner stone Of the Christian re-
ligion is Jesus Christ. The ancient
religious faiths OF earth would suffer
very little if the personal history .of
their founders were entirely forgotten,
while in Christianity the personal life
and history Of Jesus are so essential that
to remove them would be equivalent TO
taking the keystone from the arch the
whole structure would topple over in
ruins. The corner stone is the Christ Of
history, the record as given in the Cos
peIs; it IS also the Christ who has pro-
iected himself through the ages into the
] life Of the present. II is the divine

SIy Fish er1I1 eM.

TE nearly all streams where the current. is swift, you will find the nets of the caddice worms, tucked down between two rocks or fastened to a fiat stone on the brink of a waterfall. These little nets catch stray water bugs and sometimes en- tang1e small fish. They are made of B silken fabric which the worm spins with it's mouth and are shaped like funnel, the larger end being point ed up stream, so that the water rushing past spreads them out in po- Bition. The nets are very strong and quite similar in construction to 8 spiders web. Close by his net the little fisherman builds his home Lift up the nearby rocks and under them you will find a little bunch of peb- bles bound together by silk threads | In among these is a small silk tube in which the worm lives. Were it not 1 for the pebbles attached to it the cad.
 dice worms home would go sailing 1 down the stream. As an extra pre- 1 caution he oftentimes fastens one end of the silk thread to large stone l-Outing.

Laurel Street Brook Overfowed Its
 Banks Again. -

Banks Again.
 The heavy rain of last night caused some of the old waterways to go on another rampage, with the result that many private property owners are about town to-day vowing vengeance upon everybody. The brook that crosses Laurel street and runs through private land to East Main street gutted James Sutton's yard on William street and damaged other property in that neighborhood. This makes the third time these people have had to make good damage done their property by storm water within the past two years. There does not seem to be any hope of relief for the sufferers until the city completes it's plan for storm water drainage which includes the care of all the water in that district. It is under stood that this work will be commenced as soon as the fine weather sets in.
