the grossest public immortality. if

morrow Night, is in Every Direc-

DIR. Smith, who Is to begin Pente-
costal meetings, in the Thompson
Street Methodist Episcopal church
tomorrow evening, was the invited
evangelist of the general conference
held in Los Angeles last May. This
conference is the highest body Of the
church, and represents the whole de-
nomination. DR.. Smith was chosen
from among 1900 ministers who
belong to this denomination, thus re-
ceiving the highest endorsement of
his church.
Some months ago, when the local
church began to look for an evangel-
list, DR.. Smith was their choice, but
II was not thought possible to secure
him, as his time is occupied so fully
i'm the large cities where many
churches unite in general religious
movements. But fortunately for our
city, he has decided to give Pendleton
one of his "Ten Day Pentecostal"
periods. Each forenoon from 10 to
IL o'clock DR.. Smith will conduct
what is known as workers meet

all ministers and Christian workers
of all denominations.
DR.. Smith has spent many years in
the evangelistic work and comes to

No Choice on First Baliu;.

jefferson City. Jan. 1S.-The first
joint ballot for United States senator
TO succeed Cockerell, resulted in no
election today. The ballot stood,
Neidringbaus, 81; Cockrell, SO;
Kerens. 6. Niedringhaus' defeat is
expected by even his most staunch
supporters in the event that the sec
ond ballot gives him no increase. AT
the same time so much bitterness has
developed against Kerens because of
the manner of the war he has waged
on Niedringhaus that he seems TO
have alienated even some of his own
followers, who see a hopeless split in
the party in this state unless the
toga goes TO some one acceptable to
the anti-Kerens people.
A second ballot also resulted in no
choice. The joint session then dis

Salem, Jan. 1S.-ln order to reach
the railroads. which are fighting a
tax of $4,000 in Umatilla county,
payment having been avoided to this
time by securing an injunction on
appeal to the supreme court, Senator
Pierce has introduced a blanket bill
applying equally In its provisions to
every county AS the bt,l applies to
persons and all other corporations as
well as to railroads. IT will have
far-reaching effect if enacted into
law.
Broadly speaking. the bill provides
that whenever the payment of tax
shall he disputed it must be paid and
suit brought to force the state to
return the money, The proposed law
is modelled on rule of the railroads
themselves, that Wien Il freight bill
is questioned it must be paid and
redress demanded from the officials
afterward.
Several other features of the bill
are drastic in their provisions. For
instance, 1t is specified that no taxes
assessed upon any property of the
state or of any county shall be held
invalid because Of an assessment roll
or tax roll not having been made
within the time required by law, or
on account of the property having
been assessed without the name of
the owner or I'm the name of any
other person or corporation not the
owner, or on account of any other ir-

Church Courts.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-m the

James A. Talmage of Salt Lake, a
Mormon since birth but not a polyga-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-It is learned
the Russian government has closed
contract with the American steel
trust for 10000 tons of steel rails for
delivery at Vladivostok not later than
the middle of May. 1t is said the
first shipment is already on the way
to Seattle for shipment by Hills
steamer Minnesota. 1t is pointed
out that this amount of rails is inst
the amount needed to construct the
second line to Vladivostok, which
Russia had concluded not to build
as long as they held Port Arthur.
1t is concluded, therefore. that Rus
STA intends to bring the war to an
end, and IL is believed here that
Roosevelt will soon be requested by
Russia to act as mediator and bring
about this result. This is only one
phase Of the indications, and the war
may soon be at an end.
