Investigate clatsop Sands.

Hon. Jas. W. Welch, president Of the
chamber Of commerce Is in receipt Of an
important letter from David w. Day Of
the United States Geological survey rela'
tive 10 the rich sands In the rivers and
on the beaches Of Clatsop county, which
suggests the Importance Of taking i'm.
mediate action Of having these sands
tested. II will be remembered that
Senator Fulton secured an appropriation
In congress for making the examinations
amounting to $4,000. From experiments
already made from samples, there Is no
doubt but there IL immense wealth in the
sands both Of gold aud iron which can be
developed at very little expense. A spec
iai meeting Of the chamber Of commercs
has been called for tomorrow night 10
take some action In the matter and TO
send a car load OF sand 10 Portland for
examination. Clatsop county has bound'
less resources, oil that Is necessary Is o
little enterprise In developing them. II
Ia to be hoped that members and citizens
will attend the meeting and assist In
building up what Mr.. Day believes TO bs
an important industry in Clatsop county

MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of Little Boy
from an itching HumOuT
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch Of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected

"My little son, boy of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At the
time I was induced to try Cuticura-
he was so bad that I had to cut his
hair off and put the cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them It used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break,
ing. ! began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth appli-
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
bat 1t finally yielded to the treatment.
Now ! can say that he Is entirely
cured, and a stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he Is to-day"

HAS BISHOP M'|NTURFF
GONE NEVER TO RETURN?
Lovely Fight That nInturff Owned the
Church. All Its Furniture the Members Should Thankful That
He Allowed Them Worship in Coony Scheme Is Not Endorsed

Mr.. Littls Is ignorant of the
churchs affairs" said Mrs. McIn-
turf, warmly. HE has not been a
member long enough to be posted. l
am not going to condemn him be-
cause he is ignorant"
This stirred up the complaining
member and he proceeded to show
Mrs McInturff that he was not so
ignorant after all.
Il see very plainly that / shall be
compelled to make unpleasant state
ments and II pains me to do So" said
Mr. Littls, land everything say l
can prove"
He then read legal opinion as to
the lands at Bonner's Ferry. and
made the charge that DR.. McInturff
had gone there to manage the prop
erty for his own private gain. He
said the doctor had preached his
farewell sermon and deserted his
flock.
Speaking of money matters" said
Mr. Littls. DIR. McInturff at the time
of the organization OF his church here
eight years ago hadn't cent. He
is worth today about $4,000. I'd
like to know where he got it, The
members of his church have paid in
something like 100000. and they are
anxious to know what became of it,"
Returning to the lands at Bon
ners Ferry Mr.. Littls said: DIR.
McInturff told me that he was to be
the absolute boss there and no one
of the colony would have word to
say. We can't follow him there
under such conditions"
Mrs. McInturff denied that her hus-
band had made money out of the
church. She said she and the doctor
had brought money here from Chat

The meeting held yesterday after
noon by members of the United
Christian church developed a condi-
ton of things which show clearly
that for the present at least the
name of the organization must be
changed, substituting in the title for
united the word divided"
The division line is drawn between
the faithful members of the church
and its pastor and leader. At the
meeting yesterday no one championed
the side Of DIR. McInturff except his
wife, his lawyer and one young man
who came around just before the
meeting adjourned to tell the assem-
bled multitude that the bishop was a
great and good man.
There were manifestations of sor-
row and of anger because of many
things the bishop had done. This ac-
count would not be truthful If II
omitted the statement that anger was
most in evidence.
C. u. Lindley was chosen chairman
of the meeting and made fine pre-
siding officer. He endeavored to keep
all bitterness out of the frequent de-
bates which occurred between A. f..
I.ittls and Mrs. McInturff. but the
feeling acrimonious spirit was there
and like Banquo's ghost II would not
down.
Mr.. Littls told the members that

authorities that the church did not
hold the title to the lands at Bon
ners Ferry, but the same is vested
In the individual trustees who are
named in the deed Mr Littls there
fore concluded that the church or
ganlzatlon had not only lost its bish-
op but its property.

By William Francis Guion.

That is why the defeat of this COM
mission bill is to your interest. I
reiterate that the establishment of a
railroad commission will force the
factory man and the wholesale man
out of business in Spokane.
This brought about-this support
of Spokane prosperity swept away
and what have your,
An empty shell-a deserted village.
Too strong, you say. Spokane is
builded on a stronger foundation, you
exclaim.
But let us go into figures and facts
little.
Every piece of goods, every article
Of trade in Spokane Is sold for a
price based on the cost of transporta-
ton. To the original cost of manu-
facture of an article must be added
the freight charges. To the mer-
chant, the freight charge is as the
tax, or the rent, added to your cost
Of living--fixed and inevitable.
If these freight charges are dis
proportionate, the merchant either
adds to, or lowers, his selling price,
according to whether the balance is
against him, or in his favor. A lower
freight rate means a lower cost to
the consumer. A higher freight rate
is higher tax on the cost Of SELL
ing.
other things being equal, If a
hardware merchant can sell you II
lawnmower cheaper than can his COM
petitor, II Is because he has secured a
lower freight rate. No matter how
he secured that better rate, his price
makes it an object for you to buy Of
him. The other hardware man loses
your trade.
Portland and Seattle enjoy lower
freight rates than does Spokane.
The local rate from the Missouri
river, on first class goods, Is $4.15.
Because, to the railroads, Spokane Is
way station, an intermediate point.
To Portland and Seattle the rate
on the same class of goods is $500.
This Is a terminal rate as applied
under the system Of interstate COM
merce
AS counterbalance to this lower
terminal rate. the railroads give to
the Portland and Seattle jobbers a
distributing rate of $1.16, for which
charge those coast jobbers can ship
their goods all the way back to Spo-
kane, to compete on an equal basis
with the Spokane jobber in the lat
ter's territory.
With an equality Of goods and cost
of selling. the prices would be even
and it would be much matter of
sentiment whether the retailer bought
of the Portland or Seattle jobber. or
OF the Spokane jobber.

tanooga and that later the doctors
mother died, leaving him considerable
money. She declared that he didn't
have much money anyway
The chairman called attention to
the real object of the meeting, which
was to determine what rights the
members had and then go ahead to
assert them.
Two lawyers were called in to en-
tighten the members.
On the side OF the complaining and
disconnected was Lawrence Jack.
while Mrs. McInturff brought F. w.
Grand to tell the people present that
Bishop McInturf had conducted
everything according to law.
Both lawyers were heard from at
considerable length.
The constitution and bylaws OF the
United Christian church are contain
ed in a manual" This compilation
OF laws gives Bishop McInturff al
most unlimited power. 1t was charg-
ed on the one side that this power
was abused, but Mrs. McInturr in
sisted that this was not true. The
fact appeared. however, that the
bishop had his way In everything
even in his pet scheme of disposing
of the church property and founding
colony. 1t was shown that those
who objected to his plans were
promptly expelled from the church.
4. English stated the situation in
this pathetic manner: sour place Of
worship has been taken away from
us. and we have no pastor. The
church is without q leader. We are
an army without q general and with
out home. DR.. MeIntnrff has preach
ed his farewell sermon and will never
return"
