A Lay Sermon.
Brother, do you love your brother?
Brother, are you all you seem?
Do you live for more than living /?
Has your Life law, and scheme?
Are you prompt to bear its duties,
AS brave man may beseem?
Brother, shun the mist exl1aling
From the fen Of pride and doubt
Neither seek the house of bondage
Walling straitened souls about
Bats! who from a narrow spy-hole,
Cannot see world without.
Anchor in no stagnant shallow
Trust the wide and wond'rous sea,
Where the tides are fresh forever,
And the mighty currents iree;-
There, perchance, oh! young Colum-
bus,
Your New World OF truth may be.
Favor will not make deserving
(Can the sunshine brighten clay?)
Slowly must it grow to blossom,
Fed by labor and delay;
And the fairest bud OF promise
Bears the faint of quick decay.
You must strive for better guerdons
Strive to be the thing you seem;-
Be the thing that God hath made
you,-
Channel for no borrowed stream,
He hath lent you mind and conscience;
See you travel in their beam!
See you scale life's misty highlands
By this light OF living truth!
And with bosom braced for labor,
Breast them in your manly youth;
So, when age and care have found you,
Shall your downward path be
smooth.
Fear not, OH that rugged highway,
Life may want its lawful zest,
Sunny glens are in the mountain,
Where the weary feet may rest,
Cooled in streams that gusll forever
From a loving mothers breast.
Simple heart and simple pleasures, -
So they write life's golden rule:-
Honor won by supple baseness,
State that crowns cankered fool,
Clean as CLEAN the gold and purple,
On hot and rancid pool.
Wear no show of wit or science,
But the gems you've won, and
weighed;
Thefts, life ivy on ruin,
Make the riffs they seem to shade;
Are you not thief and bcggar
In the rarest spoils arraycd?
Shadows deck a sunny landscape,
Making brighter all the bright;
So, my brother! care and danger
On a loving nature light,
Bringing all its latent beauties
Out upon the common sight.
Love the things. that God created;
Make your brothers need your
care;-
Scorn and hate rcpel Gods blessings,
But where love is, they are there
AS the moonbeams light the waters,
Leaving rock and sand-banl bare.
Thus, my brother, grow and flourish,
Fearing none, and loving all;
For the true man needs no patron,
He shall climb, and never crawl;
Two things fashion their own chan
nell
The strong man and the waterfall.

CANAL NOW SURE.
Senate Ratlfies Panama Treaty by
a Large Vote.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The United
States Senate yesterday ratified, with
out amendment, the treaty with Pan
anna for a canal across the isthmus of
that name by vote of &C to IA. The
result was a foregone conclusion, the
interest in the matter being only in
the division of the vote on the Demo
cratic side, which was not known
definitely until the roll was called, all
the Republicans being for ratification.
Fourteen Democrats voted for ratifi-
cation and IA against Two Demo
Gratis, Clark of Montana and Stone of
Missouri, were paired in favor of the
treaty and three Democrats, Overman,
McLaurin and Martin, were paired
against, so in the total vote 16
Democrats were for the treaty and II
against it.
The only other vote was on the
amendment offered by Senator Bacon,
providing for an arrangement to COM
pensate Colombia for loss of the ter
ritory of Panama. This was rejected
by a vote of "a to 49, 1t was a party
vote on the affirmative side, and also
on the negative side with the excep-
tion of Gibson and McEnery, Demo
Gratis, who voted with the Republicans
Senators generally commend the
of the treaty by Cullom,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, who has had charge of the
measure during both the plain and |
stormy sailing. The vote was taken |
much earlier than was anticipated at
first, when its opponents were vigor-
ously trying to secure enough votes |
to prevent ratification.
The debate in executive session was
generally on the merits of the treaty |
with reference to the secret papers
which were sent to the Senate by the |
President. Morgan made set speech, |
which occupied the greater part of
the time.

TERMS OF SALE VIOLATED
Purchasers of UmatiIIa Timber Land
Sell Wood Wholesale.

Pendleton.-Charles wilkins. agent

says that during the past six months
there has been wholesale consumption
OF timber on ceded lands, which prac-
tice is a violation of the laws The
lands were sold some time ago in 40
acre tracts at 1925 an acre, but the
purchasers were informed that It
would be unlawful to convert the tim
ber into wood or lumber until two
years after the date of sales.
1t is said that many have paid but
little attention to this stipulation, and
recently have sold large quantities of
wood to Pendleton dealers. One man
Is said to have delivered 500 cords
Of wood to fuel firm of Pendleton
since last fall.
Mr., Wilkins says the timber lands
are out of his jurisdiction, and ac-
cordingly it is not within his province
to prefer charges against the alleged
violators. The lands are in the dis
trict governed by the Land Office a.
La Grande and it will be for the Land
Inspector to investigate the irfegu-
larities.
A great deal Of apprehension is felt
1t is believed that many prominent
farmers will be included among the
violators.

Port Arthur, and they are traders dis
posing of their merchandise.
Some of them are under suspicion,
and there is likelihood of their being
arrested. There are many complaints
of unwarranted arrests, unexplained
expulsion and defamation of charac-
ter by the Port Arthur police.
The report that large bodies of Cos

unfounded.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Hong Kong says a British squadron

China. This is supposedly a result of
the Anglo-French understanding.

MANY SUSPICIOUS OF RUSSIA
Believe She Is Courting Publicity to
Influence French Sentiment.

Paris, Feb. 24.-St. Petersburg, in
time of peace one of the most difficult
places for journalistic effort, has sud
denly become a great center for for
eign correspondents The continental
press is at present flooded with long
kilograms and letters from the Rus
sian capital.
The sudden rush of the Russian
government into publicity has aroused
suspicion in many quarters, where the
question is being asked What is
behind the move?" 1t is inconceiv-
able that the Russian government,
which took great pains to conceal ev-
cry important happening in time of
peace, should now want to make pub
lie every happening of Importance. A
number OF leading diplomats and army
and naval officers are inclined to be-
lieve that in permitting all manner of
sensational stories to be spread
broadcast, Russia hopes to influence
the stock market in France, and thus
cause a diversion in favor Of Russia.

HANGED AS SPIES.
Russians Discover Japanese Trying to
Destroy Railroad.

DeStTOy hailroau.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 25.--It was of.
ficially announced today that three
members Of the Japanese staff, dis
guised as coolies, were captured while
attempting to blow up a bridge on the
Manchuria Railway over the Sungari
River, and after an immediate trial
by drumhead courtmartial, they were
hanged to the very Culvert they had
tried to destroy.
The three Japanese were Colonel
ASST, one of the most expert of Jap
anese engineers, and one of the in
structors at the War College; Lieu
tenant Zouki Ascha and Lieutenant
Kaourata; the latter were two expert
sappers.
The disguise of the Japanese is de-
clared to have been perfect, but they
were caught while in the act of plac-
ing the explosives in place and were
recognized by a Russian officer, who
was formerly stationed as a military
attache at the Russian Legation at
Toxic. There was no question of their
guilt. In fact, they did not even take
the trouble to deny it. They were
granted but a short time to prepare
to die. The execution was witnessed
by all the Russian troops at the post
and large number or natives.
The newspapers of Port Arthur,
dated February A. reached st. Peters
burg today, indicating that they were
less than three weeks in transit.
Troop trains probably require a longer
time on account of the difficulties at
Lake Baikal, where provisions and
troops are crossing, both on ice trains
and sledges.

need worry no longer about their
supply OF fruit, for the crop this year
VIII be larger and better than ever.
The water question, which has been
causing the farmers SO much trouble
the past three weeks, is practically
settled, and the irrigation ditch will
hereafter belong solely to the farmers.
TO pay for the ditch and make nee.
essary repairs to insure a supply of
2oO0 inches of water will require an
expenditure of about 100000. equal
TO 1000 shares. Where farmers are
not prepared to pay cash for water
privileges, arrangements have been
made to secure loans from the state
school fund at 6 per cent. It is figured
out that maintenance, expenses and
interest on the loans will bring the
cost OF water to the farmers to less
than $3.50 an inch. To those able to
pay cash for water right, the cost will
be little over $150. The cost of
water each year is regulated by the
cost OF repairs and expenses appor-
toned pro rata among the land.
owners. The ditch itself is to remain
entirely free from debt, the farmers
assuming all obligations.
AS soon as majority of stock is
taken, call will be issued for a
stockholders meeting, organization
will be effected and a board of direc
tors elected Work will begin imme-
dlately toward getting the ditch in
shape to have water for the straw
berries by May /.
