Nowhere else in the world has
nature hidden such riches under a
rugged covering. Nowhere else
in the world does earnest aud wise
labor yield so abundantly to the
hand of man. This grass crop
growing under the snow fields, is
a perfect symbol of western pro-

1t was a typographical error
that threatened to bring slreaks
of gray into the locks of the edi.
tor Of a newly started weekly
which purported to chronicle the
doings of the smart set of West
ern city. In reality, however, it
sold out the edition and filed the
readers with a desire to see what
would develop in the succeeding
numbers. The subject of the par
agraph was pink luncheon given
by a well-known malron. When
the edition was given to the pub
lie it was found that the opening
lines Of general eulogy were fol-
lowed by the bald statement,
"The luncheon was punk."-Feb.

A stranger passing through
Pendleton yesterday sand to a re-
sidenl at the depot: "They tell
me that in the range country OF
Umalilla county aud in all Of east
ern Oregon, the grass actually
grows under the snow in Febru-
AIRY and that when spring come
and the snow disappears you have
. crop of grass ready for feed,
which has grown up under the
drifts during the winter"
True. Grass and flowers spring
up under the SHOWS OF winter and
when the covering disappears in
carly spring, there are the green
growths standing in full armed
maturity ready TO supply the
nourishment for the herds as soon
as they are turned on the range.
This is but one symbol of west
err plentilude and abundance.
Under the sagebrush desert,
forbidding and repulsive to the
eye, in its native state, throbs the
verdant alfalfa crop of The future,

Frequently typographical errors
creep into newspapers, and the
result is often humorous, bringing
forth many laugh, even on SER
ious subjects. The Tribune has
had more than its share Of these
blunders Of late. Last week "we"
90: three items call balled up" in
the rush 10 get out the paper.
The effect was startling, aud il
the Tribune had been believed
the laws OF nature would have
had to be suddenly reversed. 1t
was all caused by transposing a
couple OF lines Of type. J. ID.
Curry, one of our most respected
citizens, has been III for some
time with rheumatism. The Tri-
bune made the startling statement
that as a result Of his sickness he
had given birth to a I2-pound
boy. As a matter of fact that
boy belonged over in the home Of
Samuel Cox.
In the item relating to the birth
of Mr. and Mrs. Cox's II pound
boy the Tribune said it happened
"while the whistle blew" Now,
of course, ii is possible that a
whistle was blowing at the time,
but we doubt it. That line refer.
ing to The whistle blowing should
have been under the item about
Riley carrying the dynamite.
The Tribune sincerely regrets
the eblunder.-Bridgeville Tribune

PASTOR or PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH HAS CALL FROM
MILWAUKEE coNGRE.
CATION.

PARKERSBURG, Nov. 20.-Rev. j.
w. Francis, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church, who on Sunday
preached in the downtown Presbyter-
ian church in Milwaukee. called I'm
manuel's church, will return to the
city about the middle of the week. 1t
Is expected when he returns that he
will make an. announcement concern
ing the rumors that he is likely to
lesign here to accept call extended
by the Milwaukee congregation, at
whose invitation he appeared Sunday
before them.
1t Is not believed by the officers
Of the local church and the intImates
Of Mr.. Francis that he has any no.
ton of at present leaving his local
charge. While he has had several
offers from larger churches, Mr.. Fran
els is West Virginian and is more
over much in love with his work and
with the local congregation. He Is
strong man and his congregation
would not relinqulsh him without
strong effort to retain him, and it is
not believed that the change will come
about.
It is learned that Mr.. Francis some
time ago received an invitation to
come to the large Milwaukee church
10 preach before the congregation
there with a view to call, and 1t is
said that while accepting the invita-
ton, he did not do so with the idea
Of acceptlngt he call were 1t tender
ed. 1t is said that the Milwaukee
church has been without a regular
pastor for some time, and it has been
striving to get the right man.
Mr.. Francis is considered by a large
following as the strongest and ablest
minister in the Presbyterian church
in West Virginia, and under his guild
ance the congregation has outgrown
the church edifce to such an extent
that plans are now being made for
the construction of an addition. Mr..
Francis also recently secured a new
home and with conditions as they are
here his many friends are inclined to
the belief that he will remain with
Parkersburg.
