New Hay Ignltes Itself.

Some of the ranchers on Trout creek
have met with serious loss this sum-
mer by fire in their hay stacks. Bid
well Cram lost two stacks containing
about so tons each, within a week,
and Leslie Friday lost one stack and
part of another about the same time.
The fires were caused in each instance
by spontaneous combustion. The hay
had either been put up too green or
else had been rained on while down
and not dried sufficiently before being
stacked. It is said that the Hay
Greek company lost large stack OF
alfalfa In a similar manner some
weeks ago. Blue Mounain Eagle.

BRINGING CATTLE FROM RANGE
Stock in Fairly Good Condition but
Prime Beef Is Scarce.

w. r. Taylor has brought portion
of his cattle out of the mountain
range and placed them on alfalfa
pasture below town. For the most
part stock is coming off the summer
range in fairly good condition, but it
is noticeable that beef cattle are sur
prisingly scarce.
For some reason or other there is
but small percentage of prime beef
stock in the herds that range in the
mountains southeast of Athena, and
stockmen seem at a loss to explain the
cause.
Heretofore at this season of the year
buyers have been able to secure about
all the beef cattle they wanted from
stockmen in this vicinity, but this
year they have difficulty in getting
together sufficient number to make a
carload at one time.
As result of the scarcity of beef
on the range stockman named
Wyrick stands to lose a bunch of
money through inability to deliver 100
head of prime beef steers to Walla
Walla buyers. Some weeks ago he
contracted to deliver by the 10th of
this month. When he went to gather
in the stock he found but 25 head of
cattlesthatl would grade up to the
standard he had contracted to deliver.
Mr.. Taylor will move his stock to
the John Day range next season, Civ
ing as his reason that the range there
is great deal better than that which
borders on the headwaters of the
Umatilla.

Wheat on W. & C. r. Moves
Slowly to Market.
TAYLOR LOADS ON 0. R. 8 n.
Unable9 to Get Cars on His Road
Transfers Wheat TO Other Line
With Teams.

The shortage of cars on the w. 81
G. r. branch of the Northern Pacific
is felt more by wheat shippers this
year than ever before.
As result wheat is moving to mar
ket slowly over that line, and from
this point little il any has been ship
ped. So complicated and unsatisfac-
tory has the car supply on the W. &
@. h become that David Taylor, owner
and operator of the Independent
wheat warehouse, was compelled
yesterday to transfer consignment
Of wheat by team from his warehouse
to cars on the OR. & N. line for ship
ment to Portland.
Mr.. Taylor has had orders in for
Northern Pacific cars for month.
Promises were plentiful, but the short
age still continued to exist, and the
wheat shipped over the o. r.. &c N.
yesterday had been sold for some time.
Mr.. Taylor was forced to employ the
best means possible in delivering it.
Out at Helix the same conditions are
encountered by wheat dealers, to
which is added the labor problem.
j. w. Smith, agent for the Puget
Sound Warehouse company at that
place, for a couple of days last week
was compelled to close his doors for
want of help to handle grain IN his
warehouse. Many farmers quit haul
ing temporarily, and those who con-
tinued delivering grain dumped on the
outside Of the warehouse. Mr.. Smith
is also in the fuel business at Helix,
and has had orders in for fuel for
some months, but the shortage of cars
prevents delivery.

STRONG ADDRESS
BY Bishop Gailor, the Distinguished

Bishop Thomas F. Gailor delivered
strong address at st. Mary's Cattle.
dral at the IL o'clock services yester-
day. An immense. congregation was
present to hear the distinguished di-
vine.
Bishop Gailor took his text from III.
Cor, iv, 2: "By the manifestation of
the truth commencing ourselves to
every mans conscience in the sight of
God" and said 10 part:
"This Sunday is unique in the Chris
tian year, because it commentaries a
doctrine doctrine of the Holy
Trinity. Other Sundays commemorate
events in Christ's life. To-day we
commemorate the central truth which
he taught, namely, the being and ma
ture of God, and the lesson for US to
take home to-day is the essential rela-
tion between the Christian faith and
Christian morals. Morality is the end
aud aim of religion. All prayer, sery-
ice, sacrament, ritual have one pur-
pose, and that is the development OF
the moral life. There is only one SAL
walton, and that is character. To
love virtue, to rejoice in goodness, to
follow after peace, to learn self-control
and practice it is the whole of religion.
CONSCIENCE SUPREME.
"Since men began to think the SUI
premacy of conscience has been admit
ted on every side. The great teachers
Of the world have believed in and have
tried to enforce the dominion of con-
science. Confucius taught sublime
morality, Socrates made conscience
the sovereign Of the soul. The Roman
stoics built their system, the noblest
that heathenism ever produced. on
conscience. Yet they failed. For
conscience needs two things, viz, a
a guarantee of its authority and a
light by which it shall judge.
1.-THE materiallst finds no argument
In nature for the supremacy Of con-
science. and every effort to get the
data of ethics, a foundation for moral
ity, odt of a mere mechanical inter-
probation of the universe, has proved
to be vain and Ineffective. Only One
has solved this problem. Only One
has given the world an explanation Of
what all good men believed in, but
could not account for. Jesus Christ
supplied the Interpretation OF the au-
thority of conscience by teaching that
it is the divine voice in each one Of
US, the guarantee and pledge that we
are the sons Of God. He also gave the
light by which conscience should be
guided. when he taught that God is

LIGHT FORGOTTEN.
whenever the conscience of Chris
tendon has erred In intolerance and
bigotry land 1t has erred grieyously),
it has been because this light has been
forgotten or ignored. Here, then, Is
the message of the apostles in this
passage l have chosen for my text.
He says that by manifestation Of the
truth, and that means the gospel of
Christine commends himself to every
mans conscience in the sight of God.
"He does not ask men to be good be-
cause God commands it. He does not
build the truth of the gospel on any
miracle. He holds that the truth will
commend itself to the conscience OF
bllOoc WIZ HCdi ulHi. III OJutI WOIuS
the best argument for Christianity is
its appeal to the moral nature OF man
and its ability to meet mans needs.
1t was an error of some theologians of
an elder day to justify the imperfect
morality of the Old Testament, for
instance, by saving that whatever
God does is good, because he does it.
1t was St. Paul's contention that the
light within us is Gods light and that
whatever contradicts that light can
not be approved Of God.
VACCINATIONS MEANING.
The very meaning of the incarnation
is that God thus puts his seal and APP
prevail upon the moral and spiritual
aspirations of human nature as being
e-though of course imperfect and
inadequate examinations from himself.
Our birth is but sleep aud forget
ting
Our life's star
Hath had elsewhere Its setting
And cometh from afar.
Not in utter nakedness,
Not Ia entire f0rgetfulness,
But trailing clouds OF glory,
DO we come
From God, who is our home.
We notice finally that the apostle
makes sum of doctrine, a body Of re-
vealed truth, the basis OF his appeal
to every mans conscience. Morality
depends on doctrine. and man lives
as he believes. AS we think we are.
This is the justification OF the simple
and ancient creed OF the church. II
is not series OF opinions, but a sum-
mary Of facts. 1t is like the law Of
the land which protects liberty while
it restricts license. 1t is broad be-
