sew Sayings OF Jesus.

Tie rypl-2tiOUs now going on In
E,ypt have resulted i'm uucarthing a
number Of papyr on which are record.
cd what sccm 10 be- portions Of the lost
gospel Of ST. Thomas. These finds are
being made amid the ruins Of the an
clcnt city Of OXyrhyncus, ana the re-
nowncd experts I'm charge Of the eXca-
vatious pronounce the manuscripts
genuine. The first discoveries were
made seven years ago and attracted
attention throughout the world. The
wO:k is under the supervision Of two
Of the leading professors of oxford.
There are five Of the sayings recently
discovered. For the most part they are
similar 10 those in the Bible. some of
them being almost identical. Because
Of the worn condition of the papyrus
many Of the words are illcgiblc. In
the quotations given below these eli
slons are Gllcd in with brackets.
The first saving is similar TO Mat
thcw's Seek ana 20 shall find" with
a promise that hc who finds shall be
astonishcd; astonishcd he shall reach
the Kingdom. and having reached the
kingdom he shall rest" The verse is
quoted by Clement Of Alexandria from
the missing gospel according to the
Hebrews, and Clements quotation is
almost Identical with this newly dis.
covered verse.
The second and longest saying is as
follows:
"Jesus saith, Yo ask who are thoscl
that draw US TO the kingdom, i'll the
kingdom Is I'm heaven. The
fowls Of the air, and all beasts that are
under the earth or upon the earth, and
t1r fishes of the sea. these are they
which drawI You, and the kingdom Of
heaven is within you; and whoever
shall know himself shall find it,
IStiyc therefore, to know yourselves,
and yc shall be aware that yc are the
sons OF the lAlmightyl Father; [andl
ye shall know that ye are In the city
Of Godl, and ye are 1.-THE cltyl."
Jcsus saying "Many that are first
shall be last and the last first" vari-
ously reported i'm the first three Cos
pclS, constitutes the third saying. But
it is prcfaccd by statement indicating
that Jesus encouraged his disciples to
ask the question which he answers:
Jesus saith man shall not hesitate
To ask concerning
his place lin the kingdomI"
The fourth is new version of the
promise that nothing is hidden which
shall not be made known, with the ad-
dition. nor buried which shall not be
raised" 1t begins. Jesus saith, Every
thnG that .7 not before thy face and
that which Is hidden from thee shall
be revealed 10 thee"
The fifth saying is broken beyond
hope Of recovery. Il Is Jcsus answer
to the following question by his disci-
pies: How shall We fast and how
shall we Iprayl q" ana what
[commandmonl shall we keep" 1t
was a question low far The disciples
should comply with ,bo jewish ordi-
nanccs. unl thc broken answer was
apparently % series OF short command
mcuts "mssrMg ON the inner side Of
religion.

THE English idea that the office
holder is the servant of the people is
correct. A man who aspires to rep
resent borough in Parliament for
example must be extremely explicit
in his views on public questions.
He must explain his position with
minute frankness. If elected his
course is watched with the greatest
interest by his constituents. His
speeches are read with avidity and
his vote on all questions of interest
is watched. In this country in
theory the office holder may be tn,
servant Of his constituents, but in
practice it is far from being the fact.
The people Of the first Rhode Is
land District, perhaps elect a man te
congress, then their interest in a
great measure ceases. II he keeps
fairly quiet and votes with his party,
very little thought is given him
His party managers decide at the
end of the term whether it is expedi.
ent to have the member renomin-
ated and the people of the district
fall into line like a flock of sheep
and elect him. He is not the ser
want of the people. but the tool o.
the party to whom he claims allie
glance. Imagine Senator Aldrich,
for illustration, feeling that he is
under any obligations to the people
of Rhode Island. Is il any wonder
that under the existing state OF affairs
that congressman and Legislators
feel entirely independent of their
constituents. A closer following OF
the English idea would give this
country far better legislative bodies
and much less vicious law making.

The Gambling Mania.

The disclosures coming out relative
10 the Canfield- Vanderbilt gambling
cases I'm New York call attention to
the mania that IL running SO many
,oung men throughout the land. They
bring to mind another case where a
young man went west, failed TO find
work at once, resOrted To gambling,
lost all he had. rcsorted TO forgery TO
pay his debts and was soon In Jail,
with the door OF the penitentiary star
ing him In the face.
The story IL not new. II Is very,
very old. That IL the pity OF It. IL IL
the road over which many bright and
capable young men have Travelled. The
average man usually goes into gam
bling with the erroneous idea that he
can get something for nothing.
In the windhip the something IL usual
ly taken by the other fellow.
When an innocent goes up against n
sure thing, he IL bound TO get the worst
of II. II II is at cards, he plays against
men who are trained I'm the art and
who make their living that way. II
they did not fleece just such yictlms as
he, they would not be I'm the business.
When he tries the roulette wheel or
other similar devices, nc contributes TO
the profits OF the house. II makes It's
money in that way. If II did not take
I'm more than It gives out, II would not
run the wheels.
In any case the novice stands 10 lose.
This Is aside from the ethics Of gam
bling-if there are any ethics I'm 1t.
The whole thing IL founded on "A false.
hood. The only way you can get any
thing In this world Is 10 give an equiv
alcnt for It. If you get II In any other
way. you must pay the debt some time,
some place. There must be entire

act and must be met 10 the uttermost
farthing This. however, IL farther
away. Most people think only of the
immediate effects, and the immediate
effects are also bad.
This Is true whether you play over
green table or in bucket shop. In the
latter case you also go up against pro
fessionals, who make their living out
OF the business. Even If you win for
time II will lead you on 10 IA point
where you Will lose more than you
have won.
But suppose you are one out OF
thousand and are lucky enough 10 win
for an extended time. You are taking
money that does not belong to you
money that some one else has earned,
money perhaps that some innocent
wife and children need 10 buy bread
If you have the first spark of genuine
manhood, such money will burn your
pockets.
But the probability is always against
your winning. And ii IL path that, II
followed far enough, ends I'm the same
way. Some morning you will awaken,
as did this young man, with n jail
grating between you and the light.

The Suicide Mania.

The papers Of each day chronicle
some act Of self destruction. II Is safe
to say that only few Of the cases get
into the public prints. A few weeks
ago II was rittsburg young man who
took his life because his dinner was
late a short time before that IL was a
western boy who had run away from
home and was too proud 10 write back

Taken all I'm all, our lives are pretty

places If not In one way, mon In an
other. The trial comes 10 each. The
one who fees does not do SO because he

he lacks nerve and strength.
He Is n dcscrtcr from the battle OF

He shows himself wcakling who

Talk about pride! The man with any
true pride would scorn To acknowledge
himself beaten In any such way.

poorest use of IL who runs away from

These remarks are not aimed at the
particular ease in point, which is pitt

OFF YEAR IN THE
FEED BUSINESS
VOLUME OF TRADE is
CONSIDERABLY LESS.
Dull Season in the Farming Districts
Has Greatly Restricted the Demand
for Chopped and Ground Feeds and
Hays - First-class Alfalfa and
Wheat Hay Is Worth $3.50 Per
Ton Baled-Demand Is Less Than
Usual In Town.

The dry fall and the dearth of farm
work has been strongly reflected in
the feed market in this city. The
volume of business In the hay and
chop market for October, November
and December will not be equal to
that of last year, owing to the little
farm work done and the small de-
mand for team work In the country.
The best alfalfa and wheat, baled,
is worth $3.50 per ton and the de-
mand is very light. Timothy is selling
at s19, and is somewhat more active
than either OF the other kinds
Bran is selling at so cents per sack
or $3.50 per ton, and shorts at SIS
per ton, and aside from the out-of-
town orders little is being done in
this line of feed.
While the normal demand for feed
has increased greatly in the last year
the dull season in the farming dis
tricts has greatly reduced the volume
and this will be counted as one of the
off years in the feed market in
Pendleton.

NEW POWER PLANT.
CIarlxston-Lewisto Will Have Elec-
tticity.

An idea of the vast extent of the
works already planned by e. H. Lib
by and his associates for construction
work by the Lewiston Charleston Co.
in the near future is evidenced by
the fact that negotiations are now
on foot for upwards of 10000 bar
rels of Portland cement to be used
in the dams, water conduits, buildings
and other works of the company
This amount of cement means 400
carloads of 100 barrels to a car. 1t
means about 200 ordinary steamboat
loads. 1t means 100000 pounds
or 5000 tons of this commodity alone.
Another evidence of the extent of
the work is the amount of copper
wire which these gentlemen have
been buying. The shipments thus far
amount to four carloads and another
carload has just been ordered,
amounting to between 900 and 400
miles in length.
The 1000 cedar poles which have
been bought by the company in the
past three months stretched end to
end would reach nearly from Lewis
ton to Juliaetta.
The big porcelain insulators used on
the company's line northward into the
Palouse country, were 5000 in num-
ber ana filled three big cars. The
contract for the iron pins supporting
the insulators was awarded to the
Lewiston Foundry & Machine Co,
and amounted to $1,000.

ufacturing Co., with the saving, bor-

NO CHAINS FOR BAD BOYS.
Jacob Riis Institutes Reforms in Sc
attic School Discipline.

Seattle, Dec. 9.-As the result of
an investigation of Major Newell's
school on Mercer island by Mayor
Ballinger and several members of the
school board. accompanied by Jacob
Riis, the well known slum worker and
lecturer of New York, the superinten-
dent of the school is requested to dis
pense with the use of chains in deal
ing with the tough boys under his
charge.
The party visited the school yester-
day and are we'll satisfied with con-
ditions as they found them. except
the custom of shackling boys who are
considered to be unruly. A new
building is expected to be built on
the island in the near future and the
necessity of using chains to confine
boys will then be entirely done away
with.

Walla Walla, Dec. Especial. y
At n meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Open River association
just held at The Dalles the portage
railroad board of the state of Oregon
served notice on the Open River as
sociation that unless the sum of
money agreed to be furnished by the
association is in the hands of the.
bonding company in Portland by to-
night, December 0, the money appro-
priated by the state of Oregon VIII
be withdrawn.
Another requirement is that the
bond of the McCabe Construction
company, which was to do the work.
must be in the hands of the state
board at o'clock Saturday after
noon, and that new steel rails and
new engine must be used, instead OF
the original plan of procuring second
hand equipment.
That speedy action must be taken
is very evident and In order that the
matter may be settled without delay,
| DR.. N. G. Blalock, one of the mem
bers of the Open River association,
has issued call for meeting Of all
those Interested In the project for
this afternoon.
According to DR.. Blalock, $27 900
of the $4,000 that was guaranteed
by the Open River association has
been pledged and only $4,000 more
is needed to meet the guarantee and
provide for the extra expense in es-
curing new equipment.
| DR.. Blalock. who has probably
taken more interest In the proposition
than any other person in Walla Walla
and has devoted much time to 1t, Of
fers one solution to overcome the dif-
flculty that is now very apparent.
His plan is for the people of Walia
Walla county to personally guarantee
the $4,000 and make arrangements
to have one OF the local banksl certify
that the amount has been guaranteed
He believes that the money can be Sc
cured and that the demands of the
oregon commission be met by 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon.

COST OF GOVERNMENT.
Claimed That New York City is the
Most Expensive.

New York, Dec. 9.-New York un-
der Tammany Hall mayor has the
most expensive city government on
record. According to Mayor McClel-
lan's first budget, 1t will cost New
York city s110.50e.0O0 to conduct its
municipal affairs in 1905.
There are in the neighborhood Of
100000 inhabitants in New York
city at this moment. allowing liber-
ally for the gain which has been
made since the census of 1900, which
gave the city population Of s,4s7,-

pay anything like this sum, per capi-
ia, for the expenses of their govern
ment.
