REV. J. R. n. BELL RESIGNS.
Baker City Pastor Retires After II
Years in That City.

The Baker City Herald says of the
resignation of Rev. ]. r. n. Bell, the
veteran Presbyterian minister of that
city:
DIR. ]. r. N. Bell. for IA years pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church
in this city, and prominent during his
residence here as member of the
school hoard, trustee of the public
library, and worker in the Develop
ment league, and among the business
men, for the good of the city of Baker.
last night severed his connection with
the church. His resignation was ac-
cepted last night by the presbytery of
the church to which 1t had been ten
dered several days ago.
For IA years DR.. Bell has lived and
worked in Baker. The fruit of his
pastoral labors is seen in the flourish
ing church, and the fruit of his influ-
ence for the mental and material BEN
eft of the city is expressed in scores
of ways. 1t was with deepest regret
that the presbytery accepted the resig-
nation which means DR.. Bells depart
ure from Raker City.
DR.. Bell will continue his pastoral
duties until the first of the year and
will occupy the pulpit one Sunday in
January when he will preach his fare
well. He goes from Baker to Port
land TO join Mrs. Bell and will then
determine upon his future home which
will probably be either in Portland or
in the Willamette valley. 1t is pos
sible, too, that DR.. Bell will go TO
California to visit with his daughter
Mrs. w. l.. Cox, at Vallejo. and with
friends at Los Angeles. The winter
and spring he will spend in a WELL
earned rest.
After the Masonic grand lodge in
Jnne MIR. Bell leaves with Prof. ]. B.
Horner, of the Oregon Agricultural
college, for Egypt and will spend a
couple of months in making tour
of Palestine, and in visiting the vari-
Gus cities and scenes that are so in
terwoven with the life of Christ, and
the history of early Christianity.
VIII Attend College.
After his return from this trip he
will attend lectures at Princeton and
Harvard, in the divinity schools, and
upon archaeology and physics. He will
also visit the jamestown exposition.
and his old home at Wytheville, Va.
Upon his return he will enter church
work in Oregon.

is the only one now remaining to be
built.
This pier will be built in the middle
of the stream and will support the
draw span. The work of driving the
piles for replacing those washed out
during the high water will be COM
menced within n few days. All the
piling and timbers necessary for con-
structlng the cofferdam are on the
ground, the steamer Mountain Gem
having arrived yesterday with large
amount of the material which was
unloaded on the north side of the
Clearwater river, just below where 1t
empties into the Snake. The engine
to operate the pile driver has been
installed on theolarge raft and as soon
as the large hammer for the pile
driver arrives from Portland the work
of putting in the piles will be COM
menced. Owing to the difficulty ex-
perienced in driving the piles last
summer they will be provided with
steel points this time which will ena-
BILE them to be driven more rapidly
and to greater depth than formerly.

WIN Makc Portland FIre Cement.

The establishment in Pocatello of
an immense plant for the manufac-
ture of Portland cement is almost an
assurance for the coming year. c.
w. Gray, district agent for the West
ern Loan & Savings company of Salt
Lake, whose headquarters are in this
city, has succeeded in interesting a
strong syndicate of Idaho and Utah
capitalists in the project. and If tests
of raw material found near this city
are successful, they announce their
willingness to invest approximately
half a million dollars in the enter
prise.
OF the 90 samples of raw material
sent by Mr.. Gray to the Salt Lake
cement works for test, three or four
have proven to be the best in the
state of Idaho. The average results
from the tests have been even bitter
than satisfactory. Within go days
according to Mr.. Gray, an entire car
load of raw material will be shipped
to Salt Lake for a final and definite
test, and the cost will be over $500.
The raw material to be used in the
manufacture of cement in the pro-
posed plant is found in abundant
quantities within a radius of four
miles of this city. Options have been
secured on larger deposits and pre-
liminary prices secured on a suitable
site for a factory. The men who are
interested in the project are expected
in Pocatello shortly to confer further
with Mr.. Gray, who by that time will
have received from the Salt Lake ce-
ment works returns on the test ship
ment.-Pocatello Tribune.

Riparia to Lewiston March 1.

Advices received yesterday from the
lower river show that the grading
work on the Lewiston-Riparia line is
now being completed with a rush and
there seems no doubt now that the
steel will be laid to the north side Of
the Clearwater within so days. The
placing of the steel bridge will then
follow and the most conservative es-
timate is that the first car will pass
over 1t and enter Lewiston about
March 1.
Since operations were resummed at
Clearwater bridge after the flood Of
a few weeks ago, the work has been
progressing rapidly. The seventh
pier on the north bank has been
completed and yesterday the men
were removing the lumber from
around the concrete. The sixth pier

Tobacco to Kill Cotton Boil weevlI.

Batesville, Ark, Dec. 21.-Arthur
Herbert, an English scientist, who has
been investigating the ravages of the
boil weevil in the southern cotton
fields, announced that he has discov-
cred a simple remedy to destroy the
pest. His plan simply is to grow to-
bacco plants among the cotton and
he now states that after three years
investigation he has found that the
weevil will not live in the vicinity of
tobacco. All growers can utilize this
discovery without expense and with
no additional labor than is required
to produce the cotton.

One noticeable feature in the sta

As to Wheat Exports.
In wheat expectations The southern

last week, when they met at Mrs.

ladies to takedheir sewing with them
when they have social gatherings:
New York Sunday paper stated go,
about three weeks ago. 1t is a good
idea, as there are many housewives
who have too much sewing TO do eve

TO allow them to enjoy going out for
an occasional change and these meet
ings at one another's houses or V e
