GREAT GATHER ING THERE.
All of One Mind at Eugene Mass
Meeting.

Remedies suggested for the car
shortage situation at the Eu ,ene
meeting of shippers Wednesday
were:
Reciprocal demurrage.
Railroad commission.
Purchase by the state of rail-
road lands.
Ascertain the actual value of
railroads within the state and
cost of operating.
Railroad legislation is demand
ed, not requested, from the ap-
preaching Legislature by the
Shippers Congress held We'd
nesday afternoon and evening.
Every speaker assisted in laying
bare the car shortage situation
from all points, except that of the
railroad, and after dilating on
specific and general cases, show
ing the injury worked by the car
famine, the delegates cried loud
ly tor remedial legislation. Mem
bers of the legislature present
promised to render whatever as
sistance is within their power.
Electrifying public opinion
was the object of the gathering,
and in this it was success.
This is the first important stand
the people of Oregon have ever
taken against the railroads of the
state, and it is intended that the
Engene meeting will be the pio-
neer movement OF many subse-
quent gatherings of sep arate COM
mercial clubs in every town of
the Beaver State. It was gath
ering devoid of personalities or
debate. Every man present
with the exception of two rail-
load representatives, who neither
spoke nor were invited to, was of
the same mind-he wanted some
thing done to forever prevent
another car shortage.
In many respects the meeting
was unique. Held under the
joint auspices of the Cottage
Grove and Eugene Commercial
Clubs, there were shippers from
every Willamette Valley town.
There were no regular delegates
and no credentials were asked.
No roll call was taken, and there
was never a dispute. A more
democratic affair, wherein
there was neither slate nor pre-
pared resolutions, could not be
imagined. The only program
was a list of speakers. 1t was, in
fact, a mass meeting of shippers
and merchants who have felt
keenlv the loss of cars, and who
see each day their business going
from bad to worse, with bank
ruptcy in sight for many of them.

Sermon
BY Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmaec. d. d.

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. lin this
sermon the preacher shows that there Is
Il time for spiritual as well ms physical
rest and recuperation and that we are
made all the stronger and ADLER for the
battle of life through the strength the
soul derives from such seasons OF re-
tircmcnt aud contemplation. The text
Is Galatians /. IL. But went into

old traveller Without any doubt" he
said. iii Is Egypt" what, Egypt"
exclaimed. why Egypt was not to

the ruins of Memphis and Assiout and

famous book. Picturesque Egypt" He

but he lived there for months and
months. He fitted up one Of the 'tombs
of the kings for his study. He ate and
phere Of Egypt's historic past by dwell
ing there as Tissot studied the life OF
Christ by going and dwelling for years
among the natives of Palestine"
Then after my friend had wildly de-
scribed for me the journey up the Nile
he gave me II description of n trip he
took into the Sahara desert. Mile after
mile lie went until there was nothing
before him or on either side Of him or
behind him hut great sea of sand
Along the valley of the river Nile there
were the most luXurlant harvest fields
OF the world, but as soon as he turned
his back upon that river he found moth
ing but an apparently endless area or
sand. Not one spear of grass was
growing there Not one tree was reach
ing out its strong branch and beekOn-
ing, Come, traveller. and lie under my
shadow" Not one bird was cooling
his parched throat by some running
brook 10 sing another song. Not one
farmhouse or one village greeted his
vision. There were mountains of sand
valleys Of sand platcaus of sand. roll
ing prairies of sand. great hcaving tidal
waves of sand: nothing was there but
sand. So completely devoid of all life
was this region of sand that not even
lizard or jackal came In sight.
Not a fly or Il mosquito buZzed about
his eyes. Not buZZard's wing was
seen ailoat in the heavens of blue.
There was not the rustic of one leaf
or the Swapping of one twig. The only
sound heard was the pattcring of his
camefs feet as they sank into the aw-
full, the appalling. the endless sand.

4 Drcary Waste.


What tile Sahara desert Is to north
ern Africa the Arabian desert Is to
southwestern Asia Like the Sahara,
with its luNurant valley of the river
Nile Arabia has its GASES, its places
where vegetable life can grow. But
for the most part Arabia is weary
waste of sand. If you would like II
full description of ii read about Arabia
IN Lew Walacc's prince of India"
There Is found as wonderful Il piece of
word painting in reference TO its sands
and its endless silence as the Indiana
author gave in his famous chariot race
of Ben-lIur. But not alone 10 Lew
Wallace do we have 10 go 10 find Il de-
scription of its loneliness. The Greeks
and Romans used to say. "All Arabia
Is divided into three parts-Arabla Pc
trac. or the stony part: Arabia Deserta,
or the desert part, and Arabia Felix,
or the happy part" But where the
stony part ends ana the desert part
begins Is very hard 10 distinguish.
while the happy part is of very small
area. SO small that for the most part
Arabia Is inhabited only 10y wandering
nomad Bcdouin tribes. Thus when
Paul wrote the words of my text,
Neither went | up To Jerusalem to
them which We're apostles before me.
but went into Arabia" he practically
meant this: Instead of going nj once
into II great city as soon as | was con
verified | departed into "A desert place.
went of To he alone with Christ. |
tarricd for three long years in Arabia
In order To iii myself spiritually for the
work God was to give me to do Then
Went up To Jerusalcm To see Peter
and abode with him fifteen days"
We all ought To have our sacred Ara
bias. We should ever and anon turn
our backs upon the world and have
our quiet communion with Christ. What
Is IA desert OF sand 10 many n human

vest field to the children of God.

II meant thlrty-sIx long months, when
he did little but study the science OF
Gods relation Ia the world. II meant
weeks and weeks aud weeks of read
ing Scripture and Of saturating him
self with the history of Jesus Christs
life. II meant Paul living over again
his past scholastic life and interpreting
his studies from n new spiritual stand
point. aud this for Il man Of Pauls
mental caliber was no short or light
task

zon; the more man natures the mo;e

Paul In the Desert.

But | believe there was still another
reason why Paul disappeared into the
Arabian desert and stayed there for
three long years. lie wanted 10 study
the word of God He wanted To get his
heart mellowed and spiritualized by

he wanted 10 get the hearts of the peo-
pie into the condition where they would
be willing Ia trust him and believe In
his message. In other words. he want

could walk hand In hand with Christ.
He wanted IL also 10 be the place Of
testing. where men aud women would
learn 10 believe that his profession OF
Jesus Christ was sincere
Is II to be wondered at that the
Christian people were afraid OF Paul?
What the inquisitor Titelmamn was to

A HINT THAT'S WORTH
A MILLION! (!

"Salt Lake is overlooking one Of
the finest opportunities for favor
ably advertising herself just now
ever presented in her history"
remarked one of the city's most
enterprising citizens to The Trib-
une Saturday.
In explanation Of the remark he
called attention to the fact that
for some. cause nearly all Of the
railroad tickets from the coast to
the East do not provide for stop
overs in Salt Lake, although the
travellers almost invariably desire
look over the city.
Right now the travel eastward
is immense. More than six hun
dred passengers from southern
California passed through Salt
Lake yesterday. Hundreds more
were handled from more norther-
ly points by the other lines. Not
one-fourth Of these would have
preferred to continue their jour
ney without visiting Salt Lake.
In the great number passing
through daily are hundreds who
are frightened from the earth
quake belt and are seeking new
homes.
Salt Lakers should be wide
awake on this matter. They
should organize to have all rail-
road tickets provide for stop
over for from one to three or four
days. This can be done by en-
listing the aid of local railroad
officials, and through the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers asso-
citation, and Commercial club.
One of the principal retails mer-
chants of the city stated Saturday
that there had been a material in
crease In his business due to the
visit of San Francisco sufferers
with means, who stopped here to
purchase clothing. This is doubt
less but one of many incidents.
Salt Lake was never more pros
porous. There was never time
that her future was brighter. The
city was never more inviting. The
suggestion contained In the quo
tation herein is worth prompt ac-
ceptance and action. Salt Lakers
should get busy.
