Where is Frank Wall? This is a
question that Charles Wall, a brother
OF the missing man, would like to
nave answered, and one which he has
spent two days in vainly trying to
solve.
During the summer Frank Uou
worked on the ranch of ]. N. p. Spv-
der, near Havana station. and wbsr
last seen here, last Saturday said he
would probably remain there oil ,am
iioWeNer, a DAY or so later some
trouble is said to have occurred be-
tween wall and the foreman. Nelson
with the result that the former ouIt
work. On Monday he left the SNYDER
ranch, and has not been seen or heard
OF since. On the afternoon of that
DAY his suit case, packed with clothes
was found at the station Mt Havana
where apparently 1t had been left bv
the owner. The finding of the suit
case and the fact that no word has
peen received from the missing man
regarding 1t lends an air of mystery
ABOUT the disappearance, and some OF
those who know Wall well are alarm
ed Tor his safety, They do not believe
that he would have taken the train
at Havana and left his suit case. and
they believe that should he have ac-
cidentally left 1t he would have writ
ten to some one TO care for 1t or for
ward it to him.
An uncle of Wall lives at Milton,
and he also has relatives at Walla
Walla. These were visited yesterday
by Charles Wall, of this place, bur
none of them had seen his brother.
Consequently, he returned this morn
ing to Pendleton baffled in his search.
On arriving here he said that he would
search Wild Horse creek, and that IL
he could not find any trace of his
missing brother he would then wait
and see if something would not turn
up to indicate his Whereabouts.
While the missing man seemed in
good spirits when last seen, he is said
to have morbid spells occasionally,
and there is some fear that he may
have committed suicide. Also, there
is possibility that he may have been
robbed, since he had $50 in money on
his person when he disappeared, be-
sides a valuable ring.
Charles Wall, brother OF the missing
man, is employed at the RAIDER fur
niture store, but has devoted all his
time for the past two days in trying to
solve the mystery, and this afternoon
he is said to be searching Wild Horse
creek

SCRAMBLE FOR DWELLINGS.
Nemly All Taken and Many Corners
on the Road.

With the approach of the opening
of school, the usual scramble for
dwelling houses in the city has oc-
CURED, and as a result there are said
to be few places left.
According to the real estate men,
there has been a good stiff demand
for houses to rent for the winter, and
it is said that more could be used
If they were to be had. However, all
have not yet been rented, as many
families have not yet moved to town
for the winter. The fair is said to be
causing some delay in the movement
to town this fall. as many OF the
farmers have just gone to Portland
and cannot move In until their return.
Also. some do not seem to think that
it is essential to have their children
in school for the opening week, and
thus do not come as early as they
should.

BIRD LIGHTED STREET LAMP.
Simple Solution of Incident That
Puzzled Authorities.

Simple Solution of Incident That
Puzzled Authorities.
In suburban town, where the
streets are lighted by gas lamps, a
curious thing happened. A gentle
nan noticed that for sevral nights the
gas was not lighted in front of his
house and reported the matter to the
gas company. The lamp-lighter who
lad the street in charge was sure that
1e mad lighted it each night. Later
he gentleman noticed that the lamp
was often lighted through the day and
decided that some mischievous boy
was responsible for it. Keeping 4
close watch for the offender, he was
astonished to see the light flash up
when not soul was near it. He
placed a ladder against the post and
climbed up to Investigate the matter.
He found that the two chains which
turned the light on and off moved SO
easily that the slightest touch was suf
hcient to send them up or down. But
they could not move Of their OWN
weight nor by the wind. Still more
puzzled, the man returned to his
watch at a discreet distance and was
soon rewarded by seeing a wren fly
10 the lamp, perch itself on the ring
at the end of the chain, and give it
pull which lighted the gas. He
then remembered that a wren had
reared a brood in the lamp that year.

lIeve that all men are weak?" Indeed
l 90 not. l have known men, strong
men, but have known no man strong
enough to be strong without the di.
vine Christ. I have known strong men
who have said that they were strong
enough to fight the evils Of this world
and it has seemed that the grosse1
evils have passed them by because OF
the strength and nobility of their char.
acter, but they needed something more
than that. II they would be bless.
ing to the world that needed more than
their great, manly strength-they need.
ed the strength divine. And even into
these very strong mems lives have
come some one temptation stronger
than themselves, and L have known
what it was to see the strong man de-
feated. And yet have known what it
was to see poor weak men, men whom
l have seen wrestle in anguish over
the past, men who have said to me:
Il cannot live right. Look what the
past has been-a series of attempts
to do right-and all have failed. l am
too weak" and I have seen them
in their helplessness cast themselves
upon the strength of the divine heart.
They have come to the end of their
strength, they have acknowledged
their weakness, and God has stepped
in and said: "You have come to the
place where you need Me and I will

men go through life far more able to
fight their way than the strong man,
and they have been able to see that
through Christ their weakness has
been turned to strength.
There are so many things that /
would like to bring to this audience,
but let me tell you that which I have
sometimes told those to whom l go
most often with the message. that
what we desire to do and what we
can do is not through our own effort
nor our determination nor our might,
but it must be through that touch, OF
God. There are many men who have
said to me, Il want to speak the right
word and the evil words are there up
on my lips; want to do the right thing
but in moment the evil passion rises
within me and defeats me. I am 9
slave to the powers that bind me-
Yes, you may be and many a man has
found that however much he exercises
his will he cannot throw away from
him these evil things, but what your
own efforts, what sorrow, what even
the stern punishments of the law have
tried to do and failed to accomplish
can be accomplished by another
Power, the strongest power on earth,
the power of heaven. And the mes.
sage that I bring to you tonight, the
message to those who have tried to
fight their evil temptations and have
failed; the message to those who feel
that a power stronger than their own
has got them in it's grip; the message
to those who want to be what they
would be, is the message that the touch
Of a new life can be yours to-day.
that Christ is calling to you; that His
hand is stretched out to touch that
heart and it can cast out the evil thing
and put in its place the new thing; al
impure thought can be cast away and
a sweet, pure thought has come to take
it's place. You can become to-day 4
new life in Christ.
