Oregon Development League Passes
Ringing Resolutions.

hlnSlng IteSOfutlOnS.
Henry Hahn, of the Open River
committee of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce, submitted the follow
ing resolution at the recent meeting
of the Oregon Development league:
Whereas, Practically all of the
railroad systems operating in this
state are under one control and one
management; and
Whereas, For a number of years
past but little additional mileage has
been built in this state, and
Whereas, A large portion of this
state is now without proper transpor-
tation facilities, and
Whereas, Said portions Of said
state have great natural resources and
which only need transportation fa-
cilities in order to be settled upon
and developed. and
Whereas, 1t is absolutely essen
tial to the interests of this state and
to all parts and portions thereof that
such transportation facilities be fur
nished at once, and
Whereas, On several occasions di-
rect statements have been made that
new roads would be built and extend
ed into the interior of the state, as
well as to the coast sections thereof;
now, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Oregon Devel-
opment league, composed of members
from all parts of the state Of Ore
gon, does hereby express its regret
that said roads have not been built,
and does hereby earnestly request the
said transportation companies to build
railway lines and furnish transporta-
tion facilities to the portions Of this
state now without them"

THE SINGING EVANGELIsTS.
Begin Meetings Tuesday Night Next
at NJ. T.. Church.

Beginning Tuesday night, May 2,
at 1880, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank McCar-
ty will conduct a series of evangelistic
services at the Thompson Street
Methodist church.
The meetings will be a new feature
of evangelistic work in Pendleton, as
the McCartys are singing evangelsts,
and song will be the main part of the
service. Wherever they have worked
they have been very successful, and
those having heard them speak in
very high terms of them. Their way
of working gets hold of the people,
both saint and sinner. They do thor
ough work. Their singing is inspiring
to believers, and reaches the hearts
of the unsaved.
Wherever they go they organize
large choirs which will likely be the
case in Pendleton. Beside this class
of music, they also sing solo and duet
parts. Their thorough training in
Moody Bible institute of Chicago
where music is an important part OF
the training and their large expert
ence in this line of work insures a
meeting of profit and pleasure in the
coming weeks.
Because of the prominent place
given to music, short sermons will be
another feature. Among the preach
ers will be Rev. j. L. Tallman of the
Michigan conference. in Pendleton for
the summer, and Rev. Edward Baker
of Athena.
a cordial invitation is extended to
the people of Pendleton and vicinity
to attend these meetings.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-05-01

Pendleton presbytery, on Saturday
evening, before the close of the busi-
ness session, indorsed the report of
the management of Pendleton acad-
emy and recommended that it be
granted the sum of $500 from the
general educational board of the
Presbyterian general assembly for the
ensuing school year that efforts must
be made to erect a dormitory for the
academy, for the accommodation of
outside pupils and that the pastor
of each church in the presbytery Wig
orously and actively work for the in
terest of the academy, the only Pres
byterian institution between the
Rocky and Cascade mountains.
The excellent report of the acad-
emy presented by the board of trus-
tees, actuated this hearty indorse-
ment of the presbytery and led to
the recommendation for funds for the
pursuance of its worthy work.
The year just closing has been the
most successful from a financial
standpoint, in the history of the acad-
emy Although the institution re-
ceived but 5000 from the general
educational board of the church this
year. yet the income from buttons
and the economy practiced in its man
agement have enabled it to finish this
year. with no school debt, there being
but a small floating indebtedness for
work on the building and for appara-
tus.
| The property is valued at $4,000,
/ the building is new and the school
paraphernalia up to date and fairly
complete, and the prospects for fut-
ure work are exceedingly good, pro-
| vided the ministers of the various
presbyteries of Eastern Oregon hear
tily work for its advancement among
their congregations.
Efforts will be made Immediately
to erect a dormitory for the accom-
modation of about 80 pupils, as many
outside pupils have failed TO attend
the institution because of there being
! no suitable place to live while in at
| tendance. The churches of Eastern
| Oregon are urged by the management
of the academy to assist in furnish
ing students, in raising funds to assist
in building a dormitory or in any
other way possible.
This being the only school of its
kind in the Inland Empire, the
churches are urged to keep it before
the public. Pendleton has shown a
wonderful interest in the institution,
having donated a large portion of the
/ funds with which the building was
/ erected, and having been loyal to il
| in every way, nearly the entire at
! tendance being from Pendleton and
the immediate vicinity.
"The school does not belong to any
Individual, but belongs to the Pres
byterian church and it will be to the
everlasting shame of the church If il
should be forced to close its doors
| for lack of interest among its own
ers." said a prominent member of the
presbytery Saturday
Prof. W. H. Bleakney will make a
canvass of the entire Eastern Oregon
district at the close of the school
year in listing pupils for the coming
year.
While the school was founded by
| Presbyterians, it is not doctrinal OF
narrow in the least sense of the
word. but teaches a four years acad-
emic course, on the broadest and most
advanced lines and appeals to all who
desire a Christian influence for their
children

The repeated complaints that tele-
phone receivers and transmitters are
a source of death.dealing disease
germs caused test to be made re-
Gently by prominent physician. The
transmitters and receivers of seven
telephones located at widely different
points, wre put under the severest
tests. The telephones are in constant
daily use by people of all classes. The
doctor expected to find thousands of
germs, but he was agreeably sur
prised, as he did not discover a
single one. At first he felt convinced
that some mistake had been made,
and he conducted a very thorough
second test, with the same result.
The tests were made at the instance
of a woman patient who uses tele-
phones a great deal. Notwithstanding
the satisfactory showing, the physic
an advises that the receivers and
transmtters of all telephones be
washed and disinfected at least once
a week.-Philadelphia Record.
