There were two well attended services at
Union church last Sunday. Rev. Troy smell.
ley preached In the morning along political
lineeo or at least outlining the Christians duty
IN the matter OF politics. His sermon was
clear ana 70 the point showing conclusively
| that the only way to eliminate fraud and
corruption from politics was for the Christian
| or church member 10 take an active interest
In the work OF the primaries and conventions
ana follow It up at the polls by voting right.
Sunday evening Rev. Mr.. Dutton from The
us life worth iiyIbpsss fpT' N Mr.. Dutton handled
the subject In q way that was very credit
able, and 10 those who listened II proved an
inspiration toward purer and better life.
This was our rhsrtopportunity OF hearing him,
but we trust that he may find 1t convenient
70 come again, such sermons are uplifting
both 70 the believer and the unconverted. l
think there are few men who fall to respond
70 the influence OF the pure and undenled
Christianity as exempted BY Christ while
here on earth.
@ II Bone Informed us, Monday, that he

Much poetry has been written upon the
beautiful springtime, but, truly, Hood River

w l. Carnes will take charge OF the Beulah
Land ranch this season. He will move his
family there this week.
The deal Just closed between @ Il Bone ofthe
East Fork Irrigating Co. and the people be-
tween odell and Neal creek. promises 10 be q
profitable Investment for the rancher, as all
the high land will be reached by water by
means OF a pipe line across our little valley,
nom the Straightplace to the hill land on the
william Ehrck place. This will reclaim
much good land and 1t will then be possible
10 harvest two crops OF hay instead OF one; be-
sides this, IL will prove invaluable to bearing
fruit trees. Such enterprise Is indeed COM
mendable on the part OF the ditch company
as well as the settlers.
