Trinity.

The Easter services at Trinity
church were especially joyous. The
church was beautifully decorated with
large profusion of lilies and plants.
The services commenced with an ear
ly celebration at 7 O'Clock, choral eel
ebration at 8 o'clock and morning
prayer and celebration at 10:30. The
early services We're well attended as
was also the midday service.
The thanks Of the congregation are
particularly due to the ladies who
spent so much time in decorating the
chancel, to the choir and musicians
and to Miss May Druland, Mr. Charles
Gerecke Master Graham Humphrey
and Master Harry Dignan, all of whom
rendered their solos with artistic ef
feet. The Easter offering of the con-
gregation was a generous one.
The evening service was rendered
largely by the Sunday school chill
dren and the carols rendered by the
little ones were much appreciated by
the congregation and formed an at
tractive part of the service both for
the parents and the children.
The rector gave a report of the
standing of the Sunday school some
what as follows; The number OF
scholars enrolled is SIS; the average
attendance AZ: the total money pass
ing through the hands of the treasur-
er for the year, $4,000. The Easter
Offering given by the children amount
ed to over $50, very nearly equalling
that OF the congregation at the morn
ing service. The Sunday school and
the choir are both self-supporting, the
former being a subscriber to the sup
port of the church, which is very un-
usual, The rector heartily thanks
the little ones for their loyal support.

haul Monday night. About midnight
report was brought TO the station
that man was lying drunk in the

lieving him of his valuables and other
effects the discovery was made that
he was no common drunk. Papers
found on his person indicated that
his name was Willis Young and that
ne was from Longmont, Col. In one
of his pockets was found n bank certi-
flcate of deposit for $1,000 and papers
showing that he was the owner of

Elsewhere on his person were found

Old seurert Cannery Burned.

Fire up at what Is known as Dalles
Fishery, four miles east of the city
and a mile above Seufert's cannery,
started in the old cannery of Seufert
Bros. at II o'clock this morning, de-
stroying that building, spread to the
mess house and blacksmith shop,
leaving them also nruins. The rail-
road track was so badly damaged that
1t was impossible for trains to pass,
but force got to work In spite of
the intense heat, and shortly after 3
o'clock No. 2 pulled eastward and No.
l, which had been waiting at Summit,
westward.
The old cannery, as II was called,
was built by seufert Bros, in, 1896,
and was used until the new building
was put up a mile this side. In di-
mensions 1t was about 50xl00 feet,
and contained old style machinery.
While IT is impossible at present to
state positively, the loss to Seufert
Bros will probably be $4,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown. 1t has
been suggested that n spark from the
portage engine might have done the
work, as It was there shortly before
the fire started.-The Dalles Chroni-

In one CORNER Of the Mining and
hetallurgy building at the Lewis and
Clark fair at Portland, in charge of a
competent and genial mining man, is
Colorado's mineral exhibit, one of the
most beautiful and valuable exhibits
of ores ever collected in the world.
IN one eorner OF this exhibit is the
radium ore or pitchblende, from
which this wondrously precious stuff
is reduced.
The pitchblende varies In color
and formation, but in general 1t close
ly resembles cinnabar. or mercury
ore, being a reddish or pink color,
and having n tendency to crumble
easily
While radium is precious and
scarce. yet Colorado Is said to con-
tain enormous deposits of pitchblende
and from this state the larger portion
Of the stuff now in existence has been
mined.
In the ordinary pitchblende ore 1t
requires about 90 tons to produce one
little ounce of radlumr II is like
moving every straw In hay stack,
straw by straw, in searching for a
cambric needle, to mine radium.
The crude ore is found in great
quantities. but 1t varies in richness,
AT times the ore is treated day after
day and not Il color or spcck Of ra-
dIum Is detected in the crucibes, and
again several small particles are res
cued from small quantity of dirt
that is crushed and smelted and
burned and washed in the intricate
reduction apparatus necessary to save
the radium.
In the radium exhibit is also shown
the various stages through which the
ore passes in being reduced TO secure
the radlum. It is first pulverized by
a crusher and run through acids
which assemble the particles of ra-
dlum and prepare It for the more
delicate refining processes.
Then the residue is burned, the fire
causing the particles to assemble still
more closely, while Mt the same time
eliminating dross that clngs to the
particles, and finally the small hand
full of precious concentrate is placed
in the final crucible where 1t Is strip
ped of all foreign substances and Is
left exposed in the metal receptacle
pure radium. ready for the CONNER
cial world, although the amount IT
existence Is infinitesimal,
It is thought that more perfect ma
machinery for the reduction of tho
pitchblendc will be made in n shor
time and miners will be enabled tC
save much more radlum than at pres
ent. The Colorado and Utah pitch
blende Is said to be the richest In thu
world and Colorado mining experts
expect this to develop into one Of thu
most remarkable industries In the en-
tire world, owing to enormous com
mercial value of radlum and Its pres
ent scarcity in other parts OF thu
world.

is rougher and sleeper in places, so
that it Is impossible to load as heavy.
