ceedings without delay and work on
proceed.
The plan as adopted. provides for a
deep cut in the rocky hill, at the north
end of Main stret, moving the track
over north and the building of a new
depot at the end of Main street on the
south side of the track.
The highway will turn to the west
just across the bridge and cross the
track down about the elevator
This will make the crossing abso-
lutely safe and enable all passengers
to enter the depot without the neces-
sity of crossing the tracks.

as a gentle sour apple" 1t is a good

kICKLESEN CONFESSED.
Expelled Colfax Minister Publicly Ad-
nitted Wrong Doing.

c. D. Nickelsen. the expelled COlfaX
pastor of the NJ. +. church yesterday
made public confession before the East
Columbia River conference in session
at The Dalles, Or, and was restored to
church membership.
He confessed that he had been in
discreet and guilty of conduct unbe-
coming a pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, but denied that he was
guilty of anything of an immoral ma
ture.
At the close of Mr.. Nickelsen's con-
fession the conference by mutual con-
sent reinstated him as a member in
the Methodist church, but not as
member of the conference, which
means that he will not be able to re-
enter the Methodist ministry until fur
ther steps are taken.
Some time ago Mr.. Nickelsen was
made member Of the Methodist
church by action or the congregation
at Hood River. The conference held
that this membership was illegal until
open confession was made by the ac-
cused on the floor of the conference.
In order to satisfy this point of law
the confession was made.
The next session of the conference
will be held at Moscow, Idaho, the first
will be fixed by the bishop.

1.-THE very idea," said Mollie. How
do you think that would derive any
enjoyment out of that? Fuss and fuss
and worry for a week before it to give
a lot of people stuff that they will eat
only because they are too polite to re-
fuse. Then we would have to ask
the Strongs and the Linleys, and you
know they have had quarrel with
each other and don't speak and we
couldn't ask one without the other
Then we must give it up as bad
job" said Jim, with no little relief.
Jim's thoughts had run into the
groove Of dinners and were not to be
sidetracked. Let's have dinner
just of our own down town. Wen
go to the finest restaurant and we'll
celebrate.

the door without recognizing them as

having refused to share Bob's rather
uncertain future with him. The

were awaiting the arrival of the din

glass to her lips.
She barely slipped it when she put it
down in disgust. Jim" she said, II
think-I think it's horrid. i always
thought that champagne would be
lovely I'd always heard it was fine.
You said so yourself, She looked re-
proachfully at Jim, who was convulsed
with laughter. Down the room she
caught sight of Bob and Fred. They.
too, had appreciated the situation, see
ing, as they did, Mollies look of dis
gusted disapp ointment, and they were
laughing just as hard as Jim had been.
