Valley Christian Endeavor Society.

The Christian Endeavor society OF
the Valley Christian church has en-.
tered upon what promises TO be a very
successful year, judging from the series
of successful meetings already held.
The members are awake to the neces-
sity of thorough work all along the
line. A more Jealous and aggressive
set of Christians is not often met with.
The membership is steadily increasing,
as result of the personal efforts Of the
lookout committee.
Miss Cora Copple has been chosen to
represent the society at the state con-
vention to be held this month at PEN
dleton. Miss CoIpl is an earnest
worker aud will make us Il creditable

The society is now supplied with
some neatly arranged topic cards, con-

as masterpieces of oratory andl as sounding
the death warning of American slavery. AS
these joint debates progressed, the noble
character of lincoln developed, and although
the campaign closed with Lncoln's defeat, he
emerged therefrom the foremost man of his
time, and became the logical candidate of
those who opposed slavery for the presidency.
Historians and writers of today are trying
to form the features and character of Lincoln,
not as he was, but as according to what they
thought he should have been. "Lincoln was
not type. He stands alone. No ancestor, no
fellows and no SUCCESSORS Having been

How Other Cities Aid their Band.

The following clipping appeared in
the Portland Evening Telegram under
a Eugene date line of February 2:
A committee of business men has secured
subscriptions to the amount of $50 per month
for six months to keep the Eugene brass band
together, that amount being necessary to pay
Director Hughes salary. The band was on
took the matter in hand and provided funds
for its maintenance. In appreciation of the
business mems efforts, the land gave an open
air concert In the city PARK, Sunday after
noon, and promises concerts once q week du
ring the coming summer months.
The Hood River band finds itself Sc
riously handicapped on account of the
condition of its instruments. When
these instruments were new they were
of cheap French make, with two or
three exceptions. They have been in
use for years and are actually worn out,
it being impossible TO tune them to-
gether.
The band is putting forth an honest
effort to secure funds with which'to
supply some new instruments of stand
ard American make. It will require
about $400 to supply these eInstruments,
together with uniforms for the band.
G. d. Nickelsen, who Is directing the
band, is giving his services gratis. The
band proposes soon to invite the cit
zens of Hood River to help them, and
proposes to head subscription list
with 500. Let every citizen help the
band along. This is campaign year
and season of many prominent gath
eriugs in Hood River. The town can
not dispense with the services of the
band. May the loyalty of the citizens
of Eugene be duplicated by the eitizens
of Hood River.

Glacier: take this means of especially
thanking Mr.. Carmichael for the free
use of the hall and for other favors and
the Abbott family, from Grandma Alb
bott down to Baby Lucille, who did
everything in their power to make the
social success. We are even more
gratitied over the good will that was
shown us than the money that was
taken in. We were made to feel that,
while the post and corps may have to
take the initiative in the matter of en-
tertaining the state encampments, as q

and literary exercises, but will always
try to give the people the worth of their
money. Yours loyalty,

D. N. ByerIee in Scientific American.

The Scientific American of February
6, 1904, contained an article on "Pull-
man Cars in Railroad Accidents" and
with it a communication from d. N.
Byerlee of Hood River, who takes excep-
tions to some of the theories of Messrs.
Mnnn & Co. The point at issue was
that Pullman cars stand up better in
wrecks than ordinary coaches. Mr..
Byerlee asserted this was true because
Trailer cars were so placed as to act as
buffers for the Pullman. The Scien-
tifc American pictured the article with
two illustrations. Later, Mr.. Byerlee
received a letter from Michigan railroad
man commending him for his stand that
the remedy for wrecks lies not so much
in the strength OF the cars as in the man
ner of operating the road. d. N. Byeree
is now a Glacier office compositor. Ee
spent q years in the service Of the Bur
lington and Union Pacific railroads.

One of the first things to occupy
the attention of the gentlemen who
will conduct our city's affairs for
the coming year should be fire pro-
lection. We are getting too big to
be trusting to luck in matter SO
important. The two incipient
fires this week should be warning
that we may be called upon to face
more seriot.s CONGREGATIONS at any
time. The fact that these two fires
were discovered in the nick of time
alone prevented serious fires. If a
fire should break out here now it
would have things its own way and
burn as long as their was anything
within its reach. The business
portion of the city is being built up
SO close that should a fire start in
any one Of the buildings we could
easily expect to see the entire sec
ton wiped out. Fire protection is

us get at it at once and make ar

here ii would be well to say that
fire protection is not the only need
of water works system. Our city
has other claims to advance tc
prove the necessity of water works,
and it will be only short time till
these needs will be so pressing that
we will have to have water works
and there is no reason why we
should not take steps at once to
that end. If the city cannot put il

chises for sale. But we believe the

its other public utilities. W.

NORTHERN PACIFIC IN CONTROL
Is Backing Construction Company that
will Build Portage Road.

VIII puiiu OltdSo hOdu'
A writer in the Spokesman Re-
view has the following to say re-
garding the new Portage Road:
"The McCabe Construction Co. J.,
a railroad contracting firm close to
the Northern Pacific, has been
awarded the contract for building
the portage road from Cello to The
Dalles in Oregon, which when
built will give central Washington
an open route to the sea. The
Columbia river is open from its
mouth to ,rhe Dalles, 213 miles.
By building this seven mile portage
road 1S9 miles more of the Column
bia river will be open to navigation
and 100 miles of the Snake river.
The portage road will make the
Columbia river a great competitor
of the O. R, & ~, and that a
Northern Pacific company should
take the contract for its construc-
ton is said to be move on the
part of the northern road to even
up scores with the Union Pacific,
which controls the o. R. & N.
Joseph McCabe of Walla Walla,
vice president and general manager
of the Washington & Columbia
River railroad, a subsidiary road
of the Northern Pacific, is presi-
dent of the construction company,
and his brother, George McCabe OF
Tacoma, is manager of it. The
company was organized to build
the Walla Walla & Southeastern
from Walla Walla to Wallowa, but
has done very little work besides
filling few trestles for the North
ern Pacific between Walla Walla
and Dayton"
In case the Northern Pacific is
taking the interest in the Portage
Road that the above would infer, it
is easy to see the effect that it will
have on Kennewick and Pasco's
future. These two towns are To-
Gated OH the Northern Pacifcs
main line at the crossing Of the
Columbia and will naturally be the
point of transfer of all business to
and from the boats that run to the
rapids. This will in fact give us
terminal advantages and give lis
freight rates that will place our
business men i'll position to COM
pete with jobbers i'll the cities OIL
each side of us.
