Plenty of Feed in John Day.

John Day-Joseph Oliver. for many
years the leading dairyman of Grant
county, says that the recent rains,
warm and bountiful, have placed the
stockmen on basis of practical GER
tainty as to having ample feed for their
stock in the John Day valley. Mr..
Oliver has always been inclined to take
a hopeful view of the stock and feed
supply situation, and vigorously denied
the reported scarcity of hay. He now
points to the fact that large number
of both sheep and cattle have been
driven into the valley.

cordwood Will Be Scarce.

Salem-It is apparent that cordwood
will be scarce and high priced again
next season. For several weeks the
state boards have been advertising for
5000 cords of wood to be furnished to
the state institutions next summer
The bids opened aggregated less than
1000 cords, and the figures named
we're 1926 for second growth and $3.50
for old growth, the latter price being
on board the cars, making the price
delivered 1915. The bids were asked
this early in order that men might
have plenty of time to fill contracts,
but the bids were comparatively few.

Good Promise of Coal.

John Day Recent investigations
have shown beyond further question
the existence of vast deposits of coal for
many miles along the John Day river.
The interesting thing yet to be determ-
ined is whether the many thin strata,
generally separated by layers of slate
and sandstone, will unite with depth to
form a continuous vein sufficiently thick
to be proftably mined. Should veins
of such strength be developed, the value
is a foregone conclusion.

All the members of the new city

much business to come before the

he might wish for his protection,

the position that as there were ordi-

KISSED SPEECH.

Denver, A pril 21-There was
sensation at the banquet of the society
of the Sons of the Revolution at the
Woman's club last night. The dinner
was given in conn eotion with the
commemoration of the battle of Lex

versity. attacked the alleged utter

of the department of the Colorado.
and Mr.. Osborne. guest. hurled the
lie at him. There were misses and
applause and for time there was
much excitement. Pro f. Hyde's
words were:
What shall 1 say of an army officer
who speaks of negro soldiers as ours?
AS chairman of the sanitary commit
tee during the Civil war had good
opportunity of studying the negro
on the battlefield, in the camp and
in the hospital, and L will say that a
thousand times the bravery and splen-
did heroism of the negro under fire
has been proven to me. l cannot un-
derstand how man of General Bald
wins experience. supposedly soldier
and gentleman. should say such un-
happy things and publicly fiaunt his
race prejudice in the face of nation
which sacrificed a million men to
maintain the equality of the negro. -
Amid the applause and hisses ex-
changed, Mr.. Osborne, a southern
man, was heard to say very emphatic
ally;
1T is not true. The entire fabric
is absolutely false. General Baldwin
is not coward and the man who
broke the bounds of decent courtesy
at a banquet. is making a personal at
tack upon man who is not present
to defend himself is the real coward. "
The scene around the banquet ta-
bles was one of great confusion. The
friends of Prof. Hyde and Mr.. Os-
borne interfered and finally quieted
them.

FOR YOUNG MEN.

The State executive committee of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion is pursuing an admirable plan by
which towns not ready. or not large
enough to organize an association.
may still be accorded some of the BEN
eff is of such a work. 1t is the ap-
pointment in these places, of an officer
known as Correspondent Member
of the state Executive committee. He
will seek out young men who are
leaving home, and provide them with
notes of introduction to the associa-
tions in the business centers. where
they will be cordially received and
needed, good homes and Chistian fell
lowship in the church of their choice,
or if they go to the smaller places, he
will introduce them to the Correspon-
ding Member there. who will give
the same assistance. He will arrange
for the observance of the Day of
Prayer for young men, and any meet
ing in the interest of the work. also
give any information in regard to the
work.
OF the many valuable features of
the work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association is. that it opens a
free reading room and place of resort
to all young men. where they may
spend their evenings under good infiu-
ences.
Almost every prominent city in the
country has Young Mems Christian
Association. besides Corresponding
Members in as many places where
there are no associations.
Among other things, the association
offers social parlors, evening educa-
tional classes, entertainments, lee
lures. gymnasium, employment bu-
reaus. boarding house lists, classes for
Bible Study, young mems meetings,
etc, etc. All these privileges are
offered at so small fee that no young
man need feel debarred from them.
If for no other reason than this. we
are glad to call the attention of par
ents and teachers. in fact all friends
of young men to these associations
now organized in all our cities and in
most of our larger villages.
The State Executive committee has
lately appointed as Corresponding
member for Grand Junction, Mr.. @.
W. Bridges who will gladly give any
aid or information about work for
young men, that may be in his power.
