THE SHEEP RANGE
FULTON AT WORK FOR UNA
TILLA sHEEPMEN.
Ranging of Washington Sheep in this
County May Lead to Investiga-
tion by Forestry Officials.

Iu the objections filed by the Una
tilla Wool Growers Association to
the allotment of the Wenaha forest
ser7e for range purposes. was found
material for an inquiry that will
probably be farreaching in its in
tiuence with stockmen. AS the facts
were presented by this association to
Senator Fulton, 174, 900 Washington
sheep have been allotted to the re-
serve, aud but $4,000 Oregon sheep,
despite the fact that the reserve is
about equally divided between the
two states. More aggravating than
this is the fact that about $4,000
Washington sheep have been allotted
to the Oregon side of the reserve,
while not an Oregon sheep has been
given range on the Washington side.
Umatilla sheepmen state that from
$4,000 to $4,000 Oregon sheep that are
eLtitled to the Oregon side of the
range. have been displaced by the
fayors shown the Washington men.
Protest is made to the allotment of
the supervisor, which is alleged to be
based upon prior range customs. Ore
gon men state that the presence of
Washington sheep in this district pre-
viously was largely due to unjust
and almost forceful encroachment,
and should not be taken as the basis
for permanent range division.
Senator Fulton's protest to the
forestry officials has been couched in
strong language, aud in view of the
fact that the facts assumed by the de-
partment as its guidance and sas pre-
scented by the sheepmen conflict, an
investigation seems probable. Grow
ing out of it is expected to be new
rules of allotment, which shall give
local stock interests greater oppor-
tunity to present to the final authori-
ties in allotting their side of case
where there is dispute.

Word comes from Camas Prairie

AGENCY OF THE SPIRIT
WORKS IN MANKIND
REV. PIERCE OUTLINES THEORY
TO MEMORIAL BAPTISTs
All the World Needs Today Is for Man
to Launch Out Upon the Ocean
of Gods Power and Follow the
Guiding Star of His viii, He Says

Rev. C. c, Pierce pastor of the Me-
mortal Baptist church, spoke on The
Holy Spirit in Human Life" yesterday
morning. In the course of his sermon
he said:
1.-THE Holy Spirit and the manifesto
lions of it's presence and power mas
been such a favorite theme Tor cranks'
long-haired enthusiasts, impract1caple
dreamers and senseless theorists, that
sober minded, earnest and practical
men have no doubt failed to dwell upon
II as much as they should. The doc
trine growing out of the presence ana
fact of the Holy Spirit, too, has been
crystalized by the theologians or the
past into such lifeless and artinclal
thing that the church has loSt much
by not pressing this great truth 10 tne
front in meeting the needs ana prop
lens of the hour
"The fact of the trinity is accepted
and used. but not explained by the
New Testament. There was absolutely
no philosophizing on the subject. Men
simply rejoiced in the fact of a loving
heavenly father, in the presence ana
power of the Holy Spirit, and IN the
life and teachings of Jesus the SON.
Everywhere In the New Testament
we have records of the marvellous
things wrought through tne agency Vi
the Spirit, working in man. Whatever
there was to this doctrine in fact rep
resents a constant element in the very
nature of things. The Holy spirit is
not some eVanescent influence, ready
like a timid bird to take it's flight but
constant power, life and light, ever
available for the development, growth
and direction of our lives.
when man is in harmony with Goa
in other words when man is true 70
the truth, that is, true to hlmselh
there is the manifestation of THIS splr-
itual dynamic. The life of Christ. the
deeds of the apostles, the life OF Paul.
the remarkable events OF pentacost, the
wondrous movements under the Wes-
leys, Whitfield, Moody and Roberts, OF
our own time, all testify to the truth OF
this.
when Christ went away and MS
disciples saw him no more, when they
turned from the visible to the real,
then was there the manifestation OF TINS
new presence and power. Today when
men turn their gaze from the visible
and fleeting, and unsatisfying, from
some person or thing upon which they
have leaned, from some form, ceremony
or special form of worship, when they
are thrown back upon themselves ana
their own inner natures. and when
from the contemplation of their own
inadequacy they seek the real ana the
changeless. then they become conscious
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-02-05
South s::::x:x Coulter Dry Goods Co.

Of a presence glorious, uplifting, all
pervasive, mighty, which becomes an
inner light and guide to the soul, a
power which is a sure place of refuge,
when all else fails.
This power is constant. 1t is ever
here. 1t is as much part of our lives
as the power of gravitation is an ele-
ment in our physical existence. When
ever there is need of strength in the
doing of what ought to be done in this
big world of need, there most certain
ly is that which will supply all our
needs. This power has never failed and
never will fail. Through seas of trou-
BILE, in storm and stress and sacrifice,
this presence gives the victory.
"Still this Spirit never comes I'M
hidden. God waits our time in this.
There is one circle which the infinite
will not invade, but waits for our will
ingness, our invitation. God gives, in
the measure of our receptivity, but
when we call, like the loving father
who seeks the highest good of his dear
est child, The heavenly father hastens
to our relief.
Gail the world needs today is for
men to launch out upon the ocean Of
Gods power and follow the guiding
star of his sweet will. There is not a
sin in society, not a wrong in our COM
pick life, not an injustice, not an error
which would not die in the presence Of
a church led of the spirit of God"
