FEELING IN BAKER.
The Baker City branch Miners
association held meeting there
last evening. when vigorous attack
was made on the obnoxious Eddy law
and the following resolution adopt
ed:
Resolved, That 1t Is the sense OF
the mining industry and the citizens
OF eastern Oregon that the filing fee
and annual tax against corporations
embodied In what is known as the
Eddy law, is detrimental and mimic
able to the mining industry of the
state OF Oregon; that It is the sense
OF this meeting that the Eddy law
be modified and adjusted on fair
and equitable basis, looking toward
a just aud equitable tax on all in
dustrial corporations.
A committee of five, consisting OF
Jas. II. Graham, T.. Storer Tioe, En-
met Callahan, Fred j. Mellis and DR..
W. j. May, was appointed to confer
with the mining associations of the
state and TO draw up suitable resolu
ions to be presented to the legis-
ature, requesting relief from the
,dious provisions Of the Eddy law.

THE DEATH OF HOLLAND.
How 1.-THE Little Church Around the
Corner" Came TO Be 90 Named.

From The Autobiography OF Joseph
Jefferson" Upon the announcement
of the death OF George Holland.
called at the HOUSE OF his
grief. The sister OF Mrs. Holland In
formed me that they desired the funcr-
nj to AXE place from the church, as
many OF Mr.. Hollands friends would
like 10 mark their love and respect Tor
him by their attendance. and that the
house In which his family lived was
too small to receive the large gathering
OF people that would be likely 10 as
semble. The lady desired me TO call
upon the pastor OF her W church,
and request him 10 oficlate at the
service. I ut once started In quest OF
the minister. taking n OF the sons
OF Mr.. Holland with me. ON arriving
at the house l explained to the rev.
erend gentleman the nature OF my
visit. and the arrangements were made
for the time and place at which the
funeral was 10 be held. Something.
I can scarcely say what. gave me the
impression that I had best mention
that Mr.. Holland VAS an actor. j did
so In n few words. and concluded by
prcsuming tha; this fact should make
no difference. l saw. however, by tho
restrained manner Of the minister and
by an unmlstakable change In the cx-
preston OF his face that IL would
make, at least TO him. a great deal of
difference. After some hesitation he
said that III would be compelled. it
Mr.. Holland had been an actor. To de-
cline holding the service ut the church.
While his refusal To perform the
funeral rites for my old friends would
have shocked under ordinary circum-
stances. the fact that IL was made Ia
the presence OF the dead mans son
was more painful than | nj describe.
I turned TO look ut the youth, and saw
that his eyes were filled with tears.
He stood as q dazed with a blow
Just realized: as IL he felt the terrible
Injustice OF n rcproach upon the kin
and loving father who had often kiss
ed him I'm his sleep. and had taken hun
on his knee whcn the boy was old
enough TO know the meaning OF tho
words and told him To grow up 20 bs
an honest man. 1 was hurt for my
young friend. and indignant with tbs
man-too much so to reply. and I rose
to leave the room with a modification
hat I cannot remember 20 have fels
before or since. I paused al the door
and said:
We'll. sir. In this dilemma Is there
no other church to which you can
direct me. from which my friend can
be buried"
He replied that there was a little
church around the corner" where I
might get IL done. to which I answer
ed:
Then. n this be so. God bless the
little church around the corner" and
SO I left the house.
