ed by experts to be oil gas from the
highest grade petroleum, says the on
tario (Ore.) Democrat. But the
strongest flow yet discovered was

on his premises iu the north part of
town. The we'll. which is about 200
feet deep, was sunk about two years
ago, but was not known to contain
gas until recently when gasoline
pump was attached to raise the water
After pumping awhile it was thought
the well was running dry or the pump
was leaking by the peculiar plunging
of the water, when It was suggested
that IT might contain gas. A lighted
match was applied to a 12-inch lead
pipe that carried the water about 100
feet from the well when blaze shot
up two feet. The blaze will some
times follow the water some distance

NO TAN ON OUTSIDE SHEEP.
Judge Ellis Upheld in Reser Case
New Law PrOpOSCSl

In the telepgraphic report of the
supreme court decision in the Reser
case published in this paper yester-
day there We're several errors.
BY the terms of the decision given
the supreme court upheld Judge W.
h. Ellis decision that the law taxing
outside sheep brought into this state
for grazing purposes was unconstitu-
tional. The law was tested by w. p.
Reser of Walla Walla, who won in
the circuit court. At the instance of
the local sheepmen an appeal was
taken to the supreme court for the
purpose of fully deciding as to the
legality of the measure. 1t was
scarcely expected the law would be
upheld.
1t is now the intention of the Una
tilla county sheepmen to draft a law
that will be valid.

the Seminary 1t will be invaluable as a book of
reference. How necessary it is to bring out new
edition of this general catalogue may be seen
from the fact that it has been nearly a quarter
OF century since the last appeared and in
that time the institution has matriculated 551
students of whose lives and work there is no
accessible printed record. The editors hope to
put this General Catalogue to press during the
coming summer. The time is appropriate for it,
its appearance would mark the one hundredth
anniversary of the beginning of DR.. John Holt
Rice's financial agency in 1906 which eventuated
six years later in the establishment of this our
Oldest seminary.
Provision was made for special course of in
struction in Sundayschool and young peoples
work, to be given regularly hereafter as a part
of the curriculum which all the students will be
required to attend and which all will stand
examinations as on other parts of the course. 1t
is expected that this course will be given next

A MISSIONARY HYMN.

A MISSIONARY HYMN
Long was the night, but day at length
Dawned dimly a waiting world;
And hour by hour, with gathering strength,
The pennons of the morn unfurled
We dwell in full effulgent light
Unvexed by phantoms of the night.
Thick dungeon doors shut out the day
From many who to us, in vain,
Turn sightless eyes. and still we stay
Intent upon our little gain,
Leaving Gods children still to wait.
Starving and naked at our gate.
Not only in dark lands afar,
The heather wait o Lord for Thee;
But led by freedoms guiding star
They throng our land from sea to sea:
Grant us Thy grace to guide Alright
These blinded children to Thy light
Thou modest not feeble strength;
Stones hurled in hate, by angry hands,
MAY fall to pave Thy way at length;
Thy time outlasts earths dropping sands.
boon to us, dear Lord, if we
May help some starving soul to Thee
