during the coming winter some of the
ablest and most forceful evangelists
i'm the church-in fact, will send
more of them, and at greater ex-
pense. than to any other one state
i'm the Union.
The volume and high character of
work which the general assembly
will put forth in revival work i'm this
state during the coming few months
is the result not so much, if at all,
Il feeling of necessity, as it is a dis
position to take advantage of the
promising conditions; to enter into
the harvesting of a ripe field. AT no
time in the history of the church in
this state has its finances been in
such stable and sound condition, or
its membership so large, and its ex-
tension work shown such gratifying
progress as during the past year or
more.
From November until the general
assembly meets next May an active
campaign will be carried on in all
parts of the state. During those
months some of the greatest English
speaking evangelists who labor under
the auspices of the Presbyterian
church will labor in oregon, and
some of them will reach Pendleton,
although it is not known at this june
ture who will come here.
Among the several new church
buildings erected during the past year
in this state is one at East Portland

All the year there has been steady
and large increase in the member

FROM STATE SYNOD
REV. VAN NUYS REPORTS
A PROFITABLE SESSION.
Evangelistic Work VIII Be Prosecut-
ed With Great Vigor All Over Ore

Finances and All Other Affairs of
the Church in Most Gratifying
gate to General Assembly-Next
Presbytery at Pendleton.

Rev. w. L. Van Nuys returned last
night from attending the State Pres
byterian Synod at Portland. He
brings with MIN the echo OF great
enthusiasm and record of very
successful session.
Mr.. Van Nuys states that it was
unanimously agreed by laymen and
clergy alike, that this session of the
synod was the most profitable and
enjoyable ever held in the state, and
its members were veterans who have
seen service in the Presbyterian
church in Oregon for over 40 years.
1t was also the largest in point of at
tendance.
The synod without hesitation rati-
fled the request made by the last ses-
sion of the Eastern Oregon Presby-
terry. and formally effected the divis-
ion of that presbytery along exactly
the lines suggested last summer.
The Pendleton Presbytery comprises
Umatilla. a part of Grant, all of
Crook. Sherman. Wheeler, Wasco,
Morrow and Gillian counties The
Grand Ronde Presbytery consists of
all of the remaining territory of the
old Eastern oregon Presbytery.
The division of the Presbytery was
made to add efficiency to the
churchs various interests in the ter
ritory described by promoting facil-
ity in attendance and condensing the
work, making 1t easier handled
One of the matters of the greatest
general interest, the evangelisti'
work, was the topic of almost para
mount importance, or at least wa'
made such by the universal interes
and enthusiasm concerning it. Thii
feeling the general assembly is il
full touch with, as is evidenced by th'
fact that it will send from the Eas

supplied the exhibit for Washington.

TAKES RADIUM TREATMENT.
j. II. Koontz, of Echo, Carries
Speck Of the Precious Mineral.

J. II. Koontz, of Echo, Carries
Speck Of the Precious Mineral.
While there is only about a half
pound of radium in existence in a
refined state. j. II. Koontz, of Echo,
carries in his pocket the least shin
ing, flickering, piercing ray of this
wonderful mineral.
He is taking the radium treatment
for threatened paralysis and a small
steel-clad capsule, in the shape OF
22-calibre cartridge, incloses an in
finitesimal speck of radium, which
is strong enough to thoroughly charge
a glass of water, by holding the cap
sule over the glass for about 80 sec
onds.
II Mr.. Koontz were not being bene-
fitted by this simple. "moonshine'
treatment, as he calls 1t, he would
be skeptical in regard to the effect
of the mineral, but he says the treat
ment is helping him.
Although the little speck of radi-
um is invisible to the naked eye, yet
on taking 1t into a darkened room
beautiful purplish, changeable light
is thrown off from the capsule.
When 1t is remembered that the
half pound of radium in the world
is valued at 100000 an ounce, and
Is a most difficult article to possess
in any quantity. 1t will be seen tha
the capsules are not filled with th'
substance by any means, but inside

HAINEs is THRIVING.
Town Has Marked Advantage Over
Baker City in Some Respects.

p. \ gentleman who came from Baker
City a few days, and has interests
there and here. AYERS that there is a
decided business depression i'm that
place. due principally to the decline
of the mines Immediately adjacent,
ON the other hand, Haines, II miles
west of Baker City, and n town of but
400 or 500 people at the most, is
doing a thriving business in every de-
partment of her affairs.
Haines has far more farmers
thrifty and well-to-do tributary To
her, and the roads make the place
far more accessible to these farmers
than is Baker City, and the result is
that Haines commands now a far
larger country trade, and her busi-
ness houses are doing a larger and
better business than any correspond
ing number of business houses in
Baker City. The railroad has put in
stockyards at Haines and it is stated
that these stOckyards do a larger bus
iness than the stockyards at Baker

were somewhat incorporate, but he
thought no measure should be passed

desired to be heard, After considerable
debate the Hudson resolution was de-
feated.

provides for a revision of the laws
relating to education is the special or
der in the Senate tomorrow after the
