TELLS OF EARTHLY CROWNS
Dr.. Hugh X. Walker Says People
Should Consider Daily Duties
Deluht

Every Day Crowns" was the topic
of an interesting address delivered by
DR.. Hugh X. Walker, pastor of I'm
manuel Presbyterian church, yester-
day afternoon at the Y. w. G. A. Ves-
per service. DR.. Walker called atten-
tion to the fact that the majority of
people never seem to expect crowns
until they reach heaven, and stated
that earthly crowns are waiting to be
distributed. DIR. Walker said:
There are three every day crowns.
The first is faithfulness in routine. The
common round of work is often spoken
of as drudgery. 1t is regarded as a
treadmill of toll. 1t is round and
round but Il crown is round too, and
to those who count such common duties
a delight there will be given a circlet of
glory.
"The second crown that may be ours
is that of soul winning. He that Win
meth souls is wise and the wise are
crowned. With gentle, winning tact
fulness, we may create a circle of in
huence around an unconverted friend
and thus will win again circling
crown.
"And the third crown is that of low
ing loyalty to Christ as king. Every
day gratitude will encourage loyalty
to Him who was crowned with thorns
that we might be crowned with light,
life and glory"

Grand go back to their old style and
present Shadows on the Hearth" a
comedy drama in five acts by Louis
Eagon.

strong plot usually given a play of
Its kind, and as it was presented by
n rather weak company it was not
over popular with the Sunday audi
Mr.. James M. Brophy, the leading
man In the character of major, and
Gstna Wllllams, leading woman, were
the only ones that deserve special
praise. Percy Plunkett as Amos Pol

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES plan

The improvement district method Of building
sidewalks is meeting with opposition among some
who are really anxious to see sidewalks built Men
ike a. S. Cilkey and B. b. Bridges, who are among
our progressive citizens and are strongly in favor Of
street Improvements, have serious objections 70 the
improvement district plan.
The EXPRESS believes this plan is feasible and
equitable one even though it may involve some
isolated cases OF inequality in the burdens imposed
on the tax payer. Nevertheless, the ideas Of the
gentlemen who think otherwise are worth considering.
We don refer now to the "antis" who oppose any
kind Of improvement and for delay but to those
who are really eager for progress in this direction
Mr.. Bridges believes that the desired mprov-
mems can be made bysvoluntary effort. By personal
solicitation, he thinks voluntary agreement to put
down walks can besecured among the property owners
ii each block. When a man is certain that his
neighbor is going to build walk and his neighbor's
neighbor etc, he will be willing to build his own
walk and the fellow who holds back will be forced by
public sentiment to do his duty.

In theory This plan is good one and if il could
Be practically carried ont would Be simpler and per-
haps preferable otLe legal method that has been
proposed No doubt it could be carried out if
sufficient interest on the subject could be aroused
among the people. The plan requires considerable
number of energetic public spirited workers, who
win give their time TO working up the agreements
among the property owners Who are the worke.s
who win 10 thisg There should be plenty Of voluu-
teers to sacrifice their time ior such cause, but will
they do in The civic improvement associations that
have been recommended by the commercial club
might effectively accomplish the result BY con-
ceed movement among all classes, it would be posi-
bic to have walks all over town in sixty days and
have an snd to the matter Who are the apostles Of
civic decency and progress who 1ead in the crusade'
1t IS true that the street crossing difficulty bobs
up here. Who will build the crossings The city is
poor and can't afford it, monstrous obstacle in
deed, but not insuperable--the city can help some
and the property owners in each block can chip in
a mite each and the crossings will be built. sub
stantial crossing can be built for sIa and the best
will cost about $40
Now if you want sidewalks and don't want inn
provement districts it is up you get busy among
your neighbors, build your own walk and see that
others do HE ssrae. Lets quit maguifying the
difficulties and begin to study the methods by which
walks CAN be built

Electric Line in Asotin County

The Sentinel learned this week that
there is another electric railway line in
Asotin county under contemplation.
1t is proposed to run the same from
Asotin to Rattle Snake creek, via Ana
tone. A preliminary survey was made
recently and the route run over is said
to be in every way practical one, and
if the preliminary survey should be de-
cided upon and the line built, the road
would tap a bulk of Asotin county's
largest and best grain ranches, pass
through the timber belt and would also
tap the Grand Ronde coal fields. An
estimate has been made of the prob
able amount of business that such a
line would be able to do, and it is stat
ed that the showing was quite satisfac-
tory. The condition of the country that
is sought to be served by the proposed
electric line is such that steam rail-
way would never traverse: and that
being true. it is claimed everybody
along the line is sure to give it a boost
when the matter is properly presented
to them for consideration. Who the
other promoters are we could not learn
but w. J. Clemans is associated with
them, and it was through mere acct
dent that the Sentinel got on to this
much. Until something more definite
turns up, the public will have to await
developments.
