The Congregation.
rom the Boston Post

From the Boston Post.
 There is a tiny church near the foot of one of the western Grampians which has a congregation numbering in the best weather not more than 20 people. says the London Tattler. On stormy days the number is much less, as members have to travel considerable distances
 A tourist happened to come across this church early one Sunday afternoon. He listened for a bit, but heard no sound, so went to the door of the church and looked in. The beadle was the only occu- pant.
 Is this service over?"
 "Ou ay, she will pc over," replied the old man.
 Then where is the congregation% asked the tourist.
 The beadle slowly pointed through the open door to a man vending his way.

More Freedom for indians.

The Indian bureaus plans TO try
the experiment Of giving the progress
slve Indians greater freedom In the
management Of their allotments so
that while their lands are being held
in trust they may qualify themselves
to transact their own business and
thus be prepared to take full charge
of their own affairs at the expiration
Of the trust period Is said to meet
with the strang approval of the edu-
Gated Indians of the Yakima reser-
walton, says the Spokane Chronicle.
Several Of them interviewed all
look with much favor upon the idea
Of the Indian being made to depend
entirely upon his own resources,
states an exchange. They all say
that even the ignorant Indian, IL he
once felt that he did not have the
protection Of the Indian agent and
the government, would learn quickly
to care for and manage his posses
slons. They say that II this Is not
done before the contemplated throw
ing open Of the Indian reservation
to the public entry most of the Indi-
ans when they receive the proceeds
OF the sale Of their land will have
had 50 little experience in the man
agement OF their own affairs that
they will be absolutely helpless
against the sharp tricks Of the white
man.

Apples Free From Pests.

w. C. Hopson this week brought a
box Of apples to the Eagle office
that would dispel the last lingering
doubt in the mind of anyone that ap-
piles in their highest state of perfec-
ton can be raised in this valley II
given proper care. The apples were
Of the Rome Beauty variety and the
last half Of the name was very ap-
propriate, for they were certainly
beauties, being large and Of uniform
size, and handsomely colored.
Mr.. Hopson states that not over 8
per cent Of his apples were culled out
In packing and not over 1 per cent
being wormy. This freedom from
worms he attributes to the beneficial
effect of spraying and is a firm be-
lever in the efficacy Of his method Of
fighting the fruit pest.
Mr. Hopson raised 900 boxes of
this, variety this year which netted
s1.20 per box clear of picking and
packing-Milton Eagle.

TRIMMED THE EAGLE SOME.
Changes on New Gold Pieces as De-
signed by st. Gaudens Stop Critics
Harping.

The new $40 gold piece designed
as to better conform with the tastes
of bankers is now in circulation. The
new design substantially conveys st.
Gauden's ideas, but has been altered
in details to such an extent that
praise and admiration has supplant-
ed the criticism which broke several
weeks ago when the original coin
left the Philadelphia mint.
The new double eagle can be
stacked quite as readily as any other
coin. The new design is virtually a
compromise with regard to the pan
talooned" eagle. 1t cannot be said
that the designer dispensed with the
leg adornment of the eagle, yet those
who found objections to this feature
have no further grievance as the legs
are obscured
The figures 1907 have displaced the
Roman numerals"
The sharp edge of the coin has
been eliminated. Around 1t are stars
and the phrase, "E Pluribus Unum."
lIleIe was u blSdt uShiohu ASA NAN
new issue Monday when the first con-
signment of 100000 was delivered to
the cashier of the mint for circula-
tion. About half of this sum was
divided among local banks and trust
companies. The coiners are striking
off coins at rapid clip, and sec
ond consignment was delivered yes
terday.
The error of the designer of the old
double eagle, If such it may be call
ed, had singular result. There
were 5000 Of the original design is
sued, and while this meant 100000
in circulation the high premium of
$40 on each coin brought $24O,OOO.
1t is said that all of them have been
bought up by collectors.

STATE FAIR PLANS.
Meeting Of the Board Elects and
Fixes Dates of Fair.

The Salem Statesman says of the
plans and prospects of the state fair,
as a result Of the recent board meet
ing:
The state board OF agriculture held
its annual meeting in the state capital
yesterday afternoon and evening, and
will continue in session today, when
the fair grounds will be visited and
the subject of Improvements for 1908
will be considered.
The board has named September
14-19 as the week which will be
claimed for the 1908 oregon state
fair, subject to the approval of the
North Pacific Fair I association,
which meets in Portland next Janu-
ary.
The report of the secretary of the
board shows that the fair year of 1907
was a record breaker in many re-
spects. the tickets sold being double
that of the highest number of any
previous year which was 1908.
The elimination of pool selling from
the grounds is touched upon in the
reports and it shows that a more sue
cessful fair can be conducted without
aid from that source than can be had
when pool selling prevails. New
buildings have been erected, new pre-
miums added to the list, more inter-
est has been taken in the exhibits and
the fair has been supported by the
entire state as never before, and the
reports are highly optimistic in every
feature.
The appropriation made by the last
Legislature was found insufficient for
the needs of the association, the sum
expended exceeding the appropriation
by a thousand dollars, but the re-
ceipts were far in excess of this
amount paid out for this years fair,
and, after a few bills carried over
from 1906, had been paid from this
years funds the neat sum of $4416.Ol
was left in the treasury for a NEST
egg" The board asks for a larger
appropriation from the coming ses-
sion OF the legislature.

Dollar n Scaln for Coyotes.

The state livestock and sanitary
board, at a business session yesterday
afternoon in the office of the state
veterinarian, Dr. George f. Noble
decided to hereafter pay a bounty OF
81 per scalp from the predatory ami
NAL fund for the destruction of coy
otes and other animals that prey up
on the sheep.
This action on the part Of the board
practically abolshes the present sys-
tenn under which hunters receive
$3.50 per day regardless OF the num-
Der of animals that they kill. The
bounty system is one that the sheep
men have favored and 1t is expected
that much better results will be OBJ
talned in the future from expendi-
lures of the predatory animal fund.

When told of the matter Mayor
Moore stated:
"The petition will be valueless, ex-
cept as an expression Of opinion, un-
less the council determines to act up
on It's recommendations and repeal
the ordinance. The Law Enforcement
league and not the administration,
is behind the prosecutions of the yio-
