A Deserted Churph.

There stands upon the village green,
one OF the noblest works of man,
it's tower rearing to the skies
The heavens it seems to scan;
The congregation has dispersed
80 more the bell is tolled
To call the faithful OF the flock
To aid in saving souls.
Tho builders viewed with honest pride
Their handwork when done
And prayed it would shelter one and
Until Christs' victory on earth was
won;
passed that way one stormy night
Amid the snow and sleet and rain
heard an echo from the Church
OF an old and sweet refrain.
II was Nearer My God To Thee;
And how il caused a thrill
Rcyorbcrating through my breast
As an such good hymns will
I'm fancy | hear the organ play
While | waited meath tree
The hymn my mother used to sing
Rock of Ages Cleft for Me
InsDIrii ual WOnucrmCnl ] StOOu
Not needing wind or rain
And forms were conjured in my mind
ne'er will see again
The music sweet pealing forth once
more
With bell a-ringing in the tower
Roll Waters. Roll on Jordan's Shore
And I Need Thee, Need Thee Every
Hour"
And then the bell changed loud and
long
dts tones seemed angry with AL
uenD
"A painted cfIigy.' not in use,
Sadder than words it might have
been,
O, Son, and Daughters Of our day
Pausr and think can such things be?
Dcccrt.Dn Of the House Of Faith,
That helped first gain our liberty
So coulier building in the town
stand eschelsioned 'gainst the sky
& congregation should be there.
Cannot IL be? II all would try?
let not this conscreated place
Remain so mute like funeral clod
Let any sect give il new birth
So long as they point the way to
God.

TO THE BASEBALL FANS.
Some Peculiarities of the Game With
The Dalles Team.

Here are some interesting facts
Cleaned from the score book of the
Pendleton baseball team. A study
of the contest reveals some very
strange things, some of which are
noted here.
Taliaferro, the pitcher and main
strength of The Dalles team, struck
out II, while the pitchers in the four
preceding games struck out a total
of Is. Nine hits were registered off
Taliaferro and 81 in the four preced-
ing games. Taliaferro struck out
Ball, Leonard and Kehm once each,
Collins and King twice, Randolph
three times and Nelson four times,
while Nelson and King have struck
out but once each in the four pre-
ceding games. Graves and Shockley
have struck out but once each In
the five games--Shockley by Lorimer
of the "Old Timers" and Graves by
Blackman, high school boy of Walla
Walla in the short game. Leonard
has secured but two hits in the three
games, including the one in which
| he played with the "Old Timers
and they were made against the able
| twirler, Taliaferro. While King has
struck out but twice in the five
| games he has secured but three safe
ones in that time, single and two
bagger in one game against TempanJ
at Walla Walla and a homer against
the mighty Taliaferro, which shows
that King has been batting in tough
luck, for he is not an easy infielt
hitter, and has struck out but twice
| In 90 times at bat.

MAY ABANDON sTARBUCK.
o. II. & N. Division May Be Taken to
Winona

1t is rumored today that the divis-
ion point of the o. R. & N. will be
changed form Starbuck to Winona in
the near future, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. This is denied by the Off
clals in this city. who state that they
know nothing of the matter. The
news was brought to this city this
morning by well known business
man of Starbuck.
Robert Burns, general passenger
agent at the local office, stated this
afternoon that he did not know any
thing about the matter, and believed
that the rumor was false. In an in
terview he stated: There was some
talk of changing the division about
four years ago, but the change was
abandoned, and If 1t has been taken
up lately I do not know anything
about 1t.
at may be possible that this change
will be made when the Snake river
road is completed from Riparia to
Lewiston, 'but that will be some time
yet, as l don't believe that the matter
has been taken up at this time"

DOES SETTLEMENT 4
CHANGE CL|MATE?.
DENVER NEWS GIVES STA
TISTICS FROM DRY BELT
Timeliness of Rain Rather Than the
Amount of Rain Benefits Crops in
Dry Rcglons--Scttlement Of Waste
Land Distributes Rainfall But Docs
Not Increase II 10 Any Extent.

The question of climatic changes
as a result of settlement and culti-
walton is one which concerns many
people, and 1t is generally believed in
Cmatilla county that settlement has
actually modified climatic conditions
here to a large extent. The Denver
News gives the following answer to
a correspondent who asks a question
on this subject. The question was as
follows:
"Has the construction of reservoirs
and irrigation canals, the cultivation
of lands and the planting of trees af.
fected or changed the Denver cli-
mate in the past 80 years?"
The News answers as follows:
Answsd. No. The total precipta-
tation at Denver fer II years, 1872
to 1883, inclusive, was 246.S6 inches.
For the II years. 1889 to 1905, in
elusive, the total amount was 22S.7l
inches.
These figures are from the records
of the federal weather bureau of this
city. The general opinion obtains,
however, that owing to land culture
and other causes the distribution of
moisture Is more even. That is, we
are less subjected to torrents of rain
on the one hand, and to dry, hot
winds on the other.
When Oklahoma was occupied en-
tirely as pasture or not occupied
at all, hot winds accumulated and
moved toward the north at stated
periods, destroying crops in Kansas
and Nebraska.
The settlement of Oklahoma and
southern Kansas has largely decreas-
ed, If It has not entirely obliterated
the destructive hot winds. 1t is not
so much the amount of moisture. but
the distribution and utilization of the
moisture that counts in crop making.
Even in our so-called dry belt
eastern Colorado and western Kan
sas--the average rainfall is close to
fourteen inches year. OF this IL
| inches fall in the culture season.
when the crops need it most. This
data is from records kept at Kit
Carson, Colo, since 1895. The point
is this: Timeliness of moisture is
vastly more important to farmers and
stockmen than the amount of mois-
ture. The proper storage of mois-
ture and its use comes next.

FIGHT WITH HoRsETHIEvEs..
Washington Officials Have Interest
ing Chase Near Lind,

ing ChaSe Near IiTu.S
Colonel d. ]. Kent has just receiv-
ed a letter from his son, d. w. Kent
of Lind, giving particulars of the re-
cent fight with horsethieves, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
For several weeks past horse
thieves, supposedly the same as those
now in the public eye, have been op-
Grating in the, vicinity of Lind, but
they have always been able to es.
cape detection until early Thursday
morning when the robbers stole a
team, buggy and harness about 10
miles south of Crupp.
The owner Of the team notified
Sheriff ellison at Ritzville and then
took the trail He followed close be-
hind them to Providence where he
overlook and fired five shots at them,
after which they drew their guns and
drove him back. He then secured
the services Of another man and the
two followed the bandits until they
reached a place about mile south of
Lind.
There the officers were Joined by
Deputy Sheriff Daily and his posse
from Whitman county. About this
time the bandits held up a man about
four miles southeast of Linn and Sc
cured another fresh horse, after
which they continued south for few
miles when they secured another
horse in the same way.
In the meantime the deputy and
posse were in hot pursuit, but the
thieves managed to keep ahead of

AMERICANS TO EXPLORE CONGO
Have Scientific and Commercial Pur-
poses.

Antwerp. May 2s,-The mineral
prospecting expedition to the Congo
sent out by the International Forestry
company, in which Thomas F. Ryan
and other New Yorkers are interest
cd, will depart from here tomorrow
for Luebo, in the Congo, by way of
Roma. Prospecting will commence
Immediately upon the arrival of the
party. The expedition is headed by
r. Dorsey Hohun, a well-known ex-
plorer and former American con-
sular agent at Bona. S. w. Ball is
the geologist of the expedition.
The American company received
from King Leopold last November a
grant for rubber and other exploita-
ton of about 100000 for GO years.
The concessions include not only ex-
ploitation of the India rubber re-
sources Of the country, but n fran
chise to construct a railroad, and
mining leases over a territory rich
in copper and half as large as the
territory Of Alaska. There is silver
also and some gold, as we'll as other
valuable minerals, but the principal
reliance of the prospectors is upon
copper. 1t is accordingly to copper
mining that the company will first
devote Its energies.
The concession to the Americans is
generally regarded as clever move
on the part of King Leopold to in
olive the United States In any future
international complication which
may arise owing to the conduct of
affairs of the Independent state.
Those interested in the company are
men OF great influence as we'll as
vast wealth. Besides Mr.. Ryan they
include the MeSsrs. Guggenheim,
Harry Payne Whitney and John D.

The Blue and The Cray.

By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver,
Asleep on the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the one the Blue,
Under the other the Gray.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel, the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe:-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses, the Blue,
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for ALL
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling dip of the RAIN
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue,
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm Of the years that are fading,
No braVer battle was won: =
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
