The Tabernacle meetings conducted

Amusements" on Sunday night drew
the best audience thus far in the meet
ing. 1t was an able sermon and was
almost universally commended. The

day night.
While in Falls City last Friday, we
found Merchant Tooze busily engaged
in preparing goods to be shipped to
his new branch store at Black Rock.
The Falls City store now occupies five
floors and a large annex. Fourteen
clerks are employed in the store, and
all are kept busy. Mr.. Tooze is plan
ming many Improvements to enable
him to better handle his rapidly
growing business.
While working in the timber above
Black Rock yesterday, Earl Shelton, a
logger in the employ of the Spaulding
company, met with an accident which
resulted in a broken leg. Few
particulars are available, and it is not
known whether the injury was caused
by a falling tree or a rolling log. His
father came down from Falls City
this morning and took Mrs. Shelton
back to nurse the invalid.

A pitiful tragedy occurred at Pedee
yesterday morning in the drowning
OF the one-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. A. Burbank. The parents
OF the little girl had left her on the
porch, and, not thinking of danger,
did not notice her disappearance for
some time. When her absence was
noted, frantic search was made and
it was soon discovered that the child
had strayed into the water closet,
where che had met death by drowning.
Every effort was made to resuscitate
the little body, but all in vain. So
fearful a blow, falling with such
stunning unexpectedness, will call
out the deepest sympathy of all for
the bereaved parents.

Those Willamette Valley business
men who fear that the extension of
electric lines from Portland into the
interior will take business away from
them and divert it to the metropolis,
may be somewhat relieved by the
information that an Albany job
printer has gone into the Portland
field and secured a large amount Of
work, doing work to the amount of
$4,000 a year for one Portland mer-
chant Lower rent, lower wages,
lower living expenses, lower insur-
ance, enable the Albany printer to
compete with the Portland houses.
In many other lines of industry the
same thing can be done, and will be
done more extensively when lower
passenger fares and a more frequent
service afford better means for COM
munication.-O -Oregonian.
