CROWDS LISTEN TO EVANcEL|sTs
Much Interest Is Being Taken In
Special Religious Services at
Methodist Church.

large audience greeted Evangelists
Lewtas and Everett yesterday in the
First Methodist church. The church
was crowded at each of the three SER
vices and a large number asked for
prayers, while others went forward
and publicly accepted Christ. The
singing under the splendid leadership
of Evangelist Everett, assisted by a
magnificent chorus, is a wonderful
attraction and help. The songs sung
are bright cheerful and soul inspiring.
Many beautiful duets were rendered
by the singers; two solos, "Tell
Mother I'll be There by Miss Alex
ander; 80 Lamb of God" by Miss
Wills, were we'll rendered and highly
appreciated by all. The morning SER
mon was upon the TRANSPORTATION of
Christ" 1t was a soul inspiring, up
lifting discourse, followed by con-
secration service, which was one of the
most notable services in the history
of the church.
The afternoon meeting for men
only with a lecture on 1.-THE White
Life" was listened to by large audi
ence and a number of men rose to
say that they would henceforth live a
Christian life
The Sunday evening service was one
long to be remembered. The church
was crowded, the lecture room had to
be opened up to accommodate the
number of people who wished to hear
the Evangelist Mr.. Lewtas preach
on the Greatness of Christ" These
services will be continued each after
noon at 2:30 and evenings at 1880 dur
ing this week except Saturday. The
public is cordially invited.

Will Play Teachers.

The "Jawbones" have accepted the
challenge of the Walla Walla public
them Friday afternoon for the benefit
of the Y. M. c. A. The umpire will be
Postmaster E. L. Brunton. This
promises to be one of the most close
ly contested games of the season, as
the teachers have some good players
among their number while the Jaw
bones have demonstrated that they
are capable of putting up a good
game against almost any amateur
team.

Dope for the Fans.

Dope for the Fans.
Yates and Single, the new third
baseman and catcher for Walla Walla
are there with the goods. They both
play fast ball and the fans are enthu-
siastic over their work at Pendleton.
Yates made one error yesterday, the
only misplay charged up to Walla
Walla. 1t was a hard chance. how
ever, and did not count for a score
Single has a good whip and the
way he sends the ball down to second
puts fear in the hearts of base run
ners.
McAllister is certainly doing good
work around second. He is one of the
best players on the team.
District Freight and Passenger
Agent Burns went along with the ex-
cursionists and looked out for the
comfort of the patrons of the road
There was plenty of room for every
body on the train.
Pendleton fans were not very enthu-
siastic yesterday. Very few attended
the game.
The Boosters look like a ball team
now in their new uniforms.
Maloney has recovered from the rat
ties and is playing good ball in the
field. He is there with the stick, too
While he did not get a safe one yes
terday he hit the ball hard and assisted
in getting men across the plate.
An effort will be made this week to
organize a ball team at Pendleton
There are several good players in the
Oregon town who are anxious to do
stunt on the diamond.
Walla Walla and Athena have played
seven games this season and Walla
Walla has won four of the series.

Wind Storm Nearly Put Telephone
Company Out Of Business.
MAXIMUM VELOCITY WAS % MILES
HIGH WIND FROM NORTH. FARM
Frs SAY, PARTICULARLY
HARD ON SPRING WHEAT.

What promised yesterday morning
to be one of those rare April DAYS. so
famous in Walla Walla, was knocked
into cooked hat about IL o'clock
when sudden wind storm swooped
down on the city and kept things on
the move until late in the afternoon.
Yesterdays wind storm was as much
OF a surprise to Observer Newman as
it was to Walla Wallans who hap
pened to get caught in the gale and
thoroughly saturated with clouds of
dust before they could reach places
out of way of the fierce blasts and dirt
that filed the air.
Instruments in the weather office
gave no intimation of the storm be-
fore it struck the city and fair
weather flags floated from the mast
on top Of the Ransom building. The
gale reached it's maximum velocity of
% miles an hour about 1915 gradu-
ally decreasing in force until sun
down when calm reignd once more.
The Pacific States telephone COM
pany's service throughout the city
was badly disrupted and this morn
ing nearly half the phones in town
were found to be out of commission. A
part of the Dixie line on Garden City
heights collapsed during the height of
the storm, putting the Spokane and
up-cOuntry lines out of business until
late in the afternoon when repairs
were made. The poles were keeled
over like ten pins and residents in
that part of the city were wishing for
cyclone cellars.
Farmers Didn't Like 1t.
Farmers say that yesterdays wind
extracted much moisture from the
ground, especially in the light soil
district. In the vicinity Of RuIo and
the upper fiat the wind reached a We
locity of over 80 miles an hour. The
temperature was high and moisture
in the ground was rapidly absorbed
So far wheat is not suffering to any
great extent from the lack of moisture
although if the present dry spell con-
tinues for ten days longer, farmers
say there is likely to be considerable
damage in the light soil districts.

Wheat was still In a rut and wound up at

Early In the session the tone was a trine

the easiest month"; the discount under May

Wheat has many friends who look for . ma
