CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE LECTURE
Bicknell Young Delivers an
Interesting and Profitable Ad-

OlCkucll 1OuUS UCuVG1o Oil
Interesting and Profitable Ad-
dress.
A large audience greeted Bicknell
Young at the opera house, in this
city Thursday evening. He proved
to BE- a pleasing speaker of good
address and was followed throughout
by his intelligent audience. The
subject is a new one in Grand Rapids
interest.
Mr.. Young Said in Part:
"Christian Science may be defined
as the science of all that relates to
God, and is science not only in rela-
tion TO healing, but as corrective in
relation 70 all problems of existence.
Accepted theories of religion and
science have Scoffed at the association
of these words, but reason and logic
show conclusively that science must
relate to truth. and therefore to God,
since God is the cause and basis of
all that is true.
'Christian Science does not pro-
claim new God nor a new law, but
comes declaring the same God, and
the same law that Jesus declared, the
one infinite eternal God, who is good,
and his good and Interchangeable law.
Christian Science declares the omnipo-
tence, omniscience and omnipresence
of God as do all other denominations,
and upon that basis shows that evil
| has no power, knOwledgenOr presence;
| in other words, that it is unreal.
"ChrsGian Science never aScribes
evil to God or makes him in any way
responsible for it, but shows that evil
originates in a belief of material eX-
istence entirely apart from God, and
unsupported by science or Truth. OF
all people. Christian Scientists believe
most absolutely in Christ. They
accept the teachings of Christ Jesus
without reservation. They declare
that his command to heal the sick is
as binding as that to preach the

The Dairyino Industry.
Dalrying in Clatsop county is in its
infancy, and very few dairymen realize
the natural advantages Of this coun,
try. The climate, coupled with the pro-
ductiyeness of the oil. makes 1t an ideal
district for production of butter anj
cheese; dairymen are taking more In
terest in the breed and care Of stock.
With the genuine butter COW, such
as few here have as yet, much better
results may be obtained, though even
now the luxurient pasturage enables
the cows to furnish an abundance of
rich milk, with more than an average
OF butter fat. A modern equipped
creamery is in operation in Astoria,
furnishing the farmers ready sale
for their cream, at an average price for
the year of 221a cents per pound for
butter fat: and the cows yield, under
good care, about 225 pounds of butter
fat per year. There is general inter.
est in increasing the dairy business;
many Of the dairymen are preparing to
Ienlarge their herds, and new daries are
being started. Ever growing grass
and the best market in the world maxi
this an inviting field for those who.
understand the care of cows.
All the Oregon coast country, espe-
cially that near the mouth of the Co.
lumbia river, is very similar to the
great dairying sections Of Europe, such
as Denmark. Holland and the Channel
islands. The winters, however, are
milder and the summers dryer.
The lands best adapted to grass.
growing are the tidelands. which are
river bottoms adjoining the Colum.
bia or its branches, and overfiowed by
the highest tides. These lands may be
reclaimed by diking, at an expense OF
about $40 per, acre. BY diking large
tracts by machinery-with steam
dredges-the expense may be reduced.
and more substantial dikss erected. one
acre of tideland has been shown to be
ample for keeping one COW the entire
year. There are still in clatsop county
ABOUT 10000 acres of tideland to be
diked, much of 1t being easily cleared
after the dlking is done. This is no
experiment, as many of the best dairy
farms have been made on diked tide
land.
