WILL re CELEBRATED BY MEM
BERS OF THE FIRST CONGRE-
GATIONAL CHURCH..
Commemorative Services to Be Held
Sunday-Former Pastors Will
Participate in Program.

Forty years ago next Sunday the
First Congregational church of Walla
Walla was founded with a membership
of seven. Next Sunday the present
f1ourishing organization of 3O3 will Gel
ebrate the anniversary.
The morning and evening services
will both be commemorative of the
past of the church and the sermons
will be preached by former pastors of
the church. In the morning Rev. E. R.
Loomis, now pastor. of the Tacoma
church, will conduct the service and in
the evening Rev. f. l.. Smith of Pill
grim church, Seattle, predecessor of
Rev. Austin Rice, will preach. Both
services will be of commemorative
character and special music will be
given.
On Monday evening, January 2, a
historical meeting will be held at the
church at which "reminiscences of the
early religious life of Walla Walla will
be talked about and incidents told
of the Juvenile days of the present
splendid organization.
Rev. Edwin Eells of Tacoma, one of
the only two charter members now
living will give an address on "The
early life of the church and commun-
lty. Professor Louis F. Anderson and
Harry A. Reynolds will also give ad-
dresses on the growth of the church.
Several fine musical numbers are be-
ing arranged for this meeting which
promises to be one which will be long
remembered by the members of this
church and its host of warm friends
which are not on the membership rolls.
The only two charter members now
living are Rev. Edwin Eells of Tacoma
and Mrs Alice Chamberlin of this
city, wife of the first pastor who
founded the church in 1865. They will
both be present.

cHEAR RlpDERsl ON PORTAGE
ROAD DID NoTPUT IN AP-
PEARANCE.
Contract Will Probably Be Awarded
Some Time This Week by the
Association.

The great talk that was made by the
places that figures given by the Nc
Cabe Company to build the Cello
portage railway were too high, and
that the work could be done for a
much lower sum, is not borne out by
the bids submitted to the Open River
Association in Portland Saturday.
There were seven bids received and
the bids show that the contractors
who were SO vociferous some time ago
that the road could be built for the
$165,OOO appropriation by the state of
Oregon if the contract was awarded
through their hats for according to
the Portland Oregonian none of them
were in evidence. The bids were:
Robert Wakefield, s155,OOO on a
quantity price basis, without rails.
Smyth & Howard, 100000 on a
quantity price basis.
Joseph Paquet, $145,000, without
rails: $4,000 complete, both based on
the quantity of materials used.
Nelson & White, s115,523 without
rails, rolling stock or locomotives
McCabe Construction Company, on
equipment $32.75 per ton for rails
locomotives, $500 each; flatcars, $40
each; boxcars, 1925 each.
N J. Blagen, $247,000, complete;
s216,OOO without rails; rejected be-
cause too high.
cause not accompanied by forfeit
check.
The award of the contract by COM
petitive bid apparently will save money
to the Open River Association. The
cost cannot be determined precisely at
once because that will have to be cal
culated from the bids. 1t will probably
be cheaper to award the contract in
several parcels to different contractors.
Though Robert Wakefields bid was
the lowest, a segregation of the work
among several other bidders may cost
less.
The bids were addressed to the
state board, as a matter of form, but
the contract will really be awarded by
the association.

THEY CANNOT COLLECT.
Mrs. Miles of Sioux Falls Loses Cases
involving SIS, 1000.

involving $4,000.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 26.-Mrs.
Milton W. Miles has been awarded a
verdict of ST in her suit involving the
payment of life insurance policies
carried by her dead husband amount
ing to $4,000. Miles carried $4,000 in
the Woodmen and $4,000 each in the
Penn Mutual Northwestern Life and
the Provident Savings company all of
which policies contained suicide
clauses.
The Woodmen lodge redeemed its
policy Immediately, but the other three
refused to pay, as it was maintained
that Milton Miles died by his own
hand.
The case of the plaintiff was based
on the allegation that her husbands
death was due to accident. She main
tanned that one day, while doing some
repairing on the garments of her hus-
band, she placed some valuable papers
and revolver that were III MS pockets
in a drawer of his desk, in an upper
room. On the day that Miles met his
death he had gone upstairs to secure
the papers, and his wife asserts that
while securing them he met his death
accidentally. He was found on the
floor with a bullethole in his head and
the revolver by his side with one
chamber empty.
The case just disposed of was the
Penn Mutual and the ST was the
amount paid to the company and
which was to be returned in case of
suicide The form of the verdict places
the expense of the trial on the COM
pany This suit practically decides
the other cases, and the fact that the
policies contained suicide clauses
means a loss of $4,000 to Mrs. Miles.

the question of how far the power of
the interstate commerce commission
applies to fixing rates and making reg
ulations for the observance of it's de-
cisions by railway companies. This
shows that the administration is still
working along the lines of the Quarles
Cooper bill.
President Roosevelt has not made
any statemet to indicate that he is in
favor of or against, any one of the
particular methods suggested for Sc
curing federal supervision of railway
rates. The fact that he has asked the
attorney general for an opinion, with
the request seemingly applied specifi-
cally to the legislation proposed by the
Quarles- Cooper bill, is not taken to
mean that he is opposed to the
legislation suggested by Senator Elk
ms.
The proposal of Senator Elkins is
that an additional circuit judge shall
be appointed in each of the federal
judicial districts for the purpose of
attending to interstate commerce cases
and that while these courts shall have
the power to determine whether rates
fixed by the interstate commerce COM
mission are fair, the rates are not to
go into effect until after they have
been affirmed by the court created.
The acute phase of the agitation of
the railway rates question has passed,
clusiOn that no Legislation on the sub
ject will be attempted at this session
of progress.
