CHURCH MISSION CONTINUES.
Rev. Henry Dixon Jones Invites Pub
lie to His Church,

Born in a Christian land, resident
in Christian state, the responsible
ity of the Christian life rests heavily
upon every citizen in Pendleton. Will
you assume your responsibility? The
responsibility is yours; you can not
get away from it by neglecting it;
no man in this land has the power to
decide whether or not he will be a
Christian. Christianity you are born
into. You can not get away from It
The only question for you to decide
is whether you will be Christian in
truth and in reality. or whether you
will fight the purposes of God in put
ting you here in a Christian land and
spend your life in being as near a
heather as you can.
The rector of the Church of the Re-
deemer invites you to consider with
him this evening in the church, at
1880, this questionable greatest ques-
ton that can be presented, for your
consideration. Will you be present ?
He urges you to do so. He longs to
present this question to you now. to-
day. Give him the opportunity.
The mission will be continued in
the Church of the Redeemer. Serv-
ices and sermon by the rector, Rev.
DR.. Jones. H. D. ].

Arrangements are now under way
to secure a special car to convey the
Epworth Leaguers of this district to
the international convention which is
to be held at Denver from July 5 to
3. Should the plan be carried out
the special car will go from Pendleton
and will have to leave here on July 2
in order to reach Denver in time for
the opening of the convention.
This district of the Epworth League
comprises the territory between The
Dalles and this place, in Oregon, and
the towns east of Ellensburg on the
Northern Pacific. Considering the
number of members there are in the
district it is believed a sufficient
number will go to justify securing a
special car and thereby better rates.
The matter is being worked up by
Charles French of Pendleton, and
those who contemplate going should
rotify him as soon as possible. so
that proper arrangements may be
made for transportation. Mr.. French
stated yesterday the rate for the
round trip to Denver will probably be
between $40 and $35. There is no
basis of representation in the con-
vention, and all members of the league
are eligible to attend.
According to the accounts that are
being sent out, visitors to Denver
and Colorado during the convention
will be we'll taken care of. Their
coming has been anticipated Cor
months, and the general committee
which has the arrangements in charge
is composed of the leading business
and professional men of Denver. IT
is expected that fully $4,000 visitors
representing all parts of the worli
will be in Denver.
The arrangements for the conven-
ton provide for the holding Of tn, ee
great meetings daily in Coliseum hall
Central Presbyterian church and
Trinity Episcopal church. These edi-
fices, which are among the largest in
the city, will seat 10000 people. In
addition to these meetings other
gatherings will be held in various
churches throughout the city. The
program will be one of the most in
teresting ever arranged for con-
vention of Epworth Leaguers. and a
large sum has been provided for the
expenses of the affair.
The officers of the general COM
mittee having charge of all conven-
ton matters are: H. L. Ritter, chair
man; w. NJ. Danner, vice-chairman;
j. w. Springer, treasurer, and w. c.
Wiliia ms, secretary. All communica-
tions should be addressed to the Sec
retary in care of the Y. NJ. C. A.
building, Denver. Those proposing to
90 from this district should notify
Charles French of Pendleton.

MEETING OF IRRIGAToRs.
w. T. Shaw and d. @. Brownell Con
fer With Government Expert.

Two prominent irrigators from
widely separated parts of Umatilla
county, were in the city last night,
and enjoyed a visit with Samuel
Fortier, the government expert. 1t
happened that Mr.. Fortier is investi-
eating the special methods of irri-
cation practiced by these pioneer ir-
rigators, that of winter irrigation and
the conference between them was es-
pecially pertinent.
w. T. Shaw of Hudson Bay, in the
extreme northeastern portion of the
county, and D. C. Brownell of UNA
tilla, in the extreme western portion
of the county, happened to meet in
the city on other business just in
time to meet Mr.. Fortier, who came
up from Echo last evening with Col.
R. c. Judson.
In the Hudson Bay district Mr..
Shaw has made an unqualified sue
cess of winter irrigation, reclaiming
desert land by spring and winter
flood water, and in the western por-
ton of Umatilla county, Mr., Brown
ell has demonstrated the feasibility
of this method beyond any question.
1t was a happy coincidence that
both these practical pioneers could
be seen by Mr.. Fortier, to convince
him more thoroughly of the practica-
bility of this method of irrigation
which is now exciting the attention
and inviting the investigation of the
department of agriculture.
In the Hudson Bay district Mr..
Shaw declares that winter irrigation
is reclaiming the desert with one
half an inch of water per acre. In
the western portion of the county,
Mr.. Brownell declares that less and
less water is being used, and that the
alfalfa crop is assured. whether sum-
mer irrigation is possible or not. O.,
The experiences of these two prac-
tical pioneer irrigators of Umatilla
county were highly enjoyed by Mr..
Fortier, who took many notes from
them and who promised to study yet
more closely this wonderful system
that is reclaiming western wilder
nesses.

ARRESTED A NEGRO
RELIEVED THAT HE HOLDS
SOME STOLEN PROPERTY
He Put Up a Team at a Local Barn
and Pawned a Harness and Saddle
Negro Admitted That the Horses
Do Not Belong to Him, and 1t Is
Probable He VIII Be Prosecuted on
Charge OF Larceny by aBilee.

What will probably develop into a
f1rst-class case of larceny, is being
unraveled by Deputy Sheriff Blak-
ley today, and was started yesterday
afternoon. when that official arrested
a negro on suspicion that he was
committing a crime.
Information reached the sheriffs
office during the afternoon yesterday
that a team had been left at the
Alta house feed yard by the negro,
and having his suspicious aroused,
Deputy Blakley determined to inves-
tigate. AS a result, he soon learned
that set of harness and a saddle
had just been pawned by a negro
answering the description, at the Cur
dane secondhand store. The search
was taken up for the man, and with
IN a short time he was found and
placed under arrest by Deputy Blak-
ley on suspicion.
At first the negro declared that he
was no "hoss thief" and that the
horses in the stable belonged to him
him. He also objected to being lock-
ed up without a warrant, and told
the deputy he was no hayseed. How
ever, Deputy Blakley considered he
would be such himself If he let him
go, so into the Jail he went.
Later on the prisoner admitted that
the horses were the property of
Frank Brotherton, who lives near
Vansycle. though he was reticent
about saying anything more. Since
then efforts have been made to COM
municate with Brotherton over the
phone, but SO far he has not been
reached. However, it is believed
from indications that the entire out
fit, consisting of team, wagon and
saddle belongs to him, and that the
negro has sold the wagon to some one
and was intending to ieave the coun-
try after pawning the harness and
saddle. So far no trace of the wag-
on has been found. According to w.
]. Stockman, who is also a resident
of that section, the wagon is a Mo-
line with low wheels and wide tire,
and has a wheat rack on it.
