REV. 1. d. DRIVERS LECTURES.
Famous Pulpit Orator VIII BE ut the
NJ. L. Church Tonight.

What Made the Yankee, and the
Origin of American Institutions" one
of the finest lectures ever delivered
in Pendleton, was given to a large
and appreciative audience by Rev. Ira
ID. Driver the well known pulpit or
ator, at the Thompson Street Metho-

Tonight at the Thompson Street
church Mr.. Driver will deliver as a
preliminary to the revival meetings
to be conducted at that church, his
world famous lecture, "The Existence
of God and the Natural Necessity of
a Revelation From Him"
This is one of the really famous
lectures of modern times, and has
been discussed. studied, attacked and
trampled upon by all the religions
and skepticisms of Europe and Amer
lea, but has never yet been success
fully answered nor its arguments re-
futed
Mr.. Driver is rugged thinker, and
bold and inspiring speaker and is one
Of the strongest mental forces i'm the
United States today. He is an Ore
gon pioneer and has been one of the
moving forces In the organization of
churches i'm the state, beside holding
the position of lecturer and debater

His memorable debates with I'm
derwood, Ingersoll, Watts, Putnam
and other infidels form one of the
most thrilling chapters in church his
tory. and Mr.. Drivers triumphs over
these intellectual giants of the secu-
lar forces gave him an introduction
into the leading colleges of the world
as an exponent of the religion for
which he so ably stood.

The o. r. & N. Co. will enlarge
tunnel No 4, a mile west of Meacham.
The timhers and tagging in the tunnel
need to be replaced and the hole
through the point of the hill is not
large enough anyway to suitably ac-
commodate the big engines and high
cars that have to come into use on the
road.
The tunnel will be made both wider
and higher. and the portals will have
casing of concrete and the same
material will take the place of tim
Der on the sides and roof of the tun-
mel. When this Improvement is COM
pleted 1t will be of a character that is
calculated to last.
An attempt has been made to build
a temporary track around the point
of the hill to be used while the work
in the tunnel is in progress, but the
scheme has not yet been satisfactorily
figured out. Three or four of the
principal engineers of the company
have been at Meacham during the
past few days, looking over the situa-
tion and numerous surveys have been
made, but up to the present time
there is no practical solution. In
throwing the track around the point
of the hill the curvature is too sharp
to be utilized even for temporary pur-
poses.
This circumstance recalls the criti-
cism offered again the work of En-
gineer Mix. dow decreased. who was
the original locating engineer for the
o. r. & n. Co. in the Blue mountain
district "a years ago.
1t was stated at that time that the
Meacham tunnel was unnecessary
and might have been obviated by fol-
lowing around the hillside. While the
old-time engineer did not foresee the
compound locomotives and tall fur
niture cars of the present day. 1t is
evident that in the matter of maxi
mum curvature permissible in a rail-
road track, he knew his business.
