Cen tennial Services at Methodist
Episcopal Church Enjoyed by
Large Crowds.

Centennial Sunday was wonderful
day for Methodism in Hillsboro.' The
Sunday School at 8 a. N. had an at.
tendance of over 450 The music led
by the fine Sunday School Orchestra
was inspiring. After the welcome ad.
dress by o. N. Sans, the time was
filed by shorts talks by the Home.
corners and a beautiful exercise by
primary department under the direc.
tion of Mrs. Deaton.
At 1890 DR.. q. G. Jameson, of Gin
cinnati, preached one of the most
powerful sermons ever heard In Hills.
boro Fluent, yet so simple a child
could understand, he held the i'm.
mepse audience in closet attention
for an hour and quarter. The class
meeting at 2:30 led by DR.. d. Lee
Aultman was full of Methodist power
and enthusiasm. That Methodists
cannot be pessimists was verified
throughout all the services of the
day.
The Epworth League at $3.50 was an
added coal to the wave of enthusiasm.
DR.. Aultman made splendid address
to the young people and the histori-
cal sketch of early Hillsboro by Roy
Haynes was most interesting. At 1880
another large audience assembled to
hear DR.. Guy Potter Benton, Presi
dent of Miami University, deliver a
most scholarly sermon. The choir of
nineteen voices sustained the reputa-
tion of the Methodist choir for good
music Miss Ella link in the solo,

white asters and graceful ferns we're

was decorated with the National
colors. Methodism began In Hills
boro in 1907 and was at high tide Sept.
is, 1907. From beginning to close of
day the people realized as did Israel
of old, that God was In the Taberna.
Gle and that strengthened by his ever
present spirit they could 60 on to
greater victory.
For the fine program and the sue
Gees of the day many thanks are due
the pastor, Rev. w. A. Deaton. The
keynote of Methodism was sounded
in one of the hymns used that day:

We will be true to Thee TIL DEATH"

put Mrs. Parshall's knowledge or con.
,ent, but 1t is certainly entitled to
that consideration
There's place above all others.
Where the flowers bloom most sweet
Where the summer skies are fairest,
Where the brooklet at our feet
Makes the softest, sweetest music
That our lives have ever known;
'Tis among the hills of Highland.
That's the place we call sweet Home
Years, perhaps we've drifted from It
But how oft in dreams of night
We have wandered back to Highland
Sought its scenes to our delight
Wanderedthroughthe lanes in childhood
Where the scarlet berries grew
BY the orchard, stream and meadow,
Where the daisies kissed the dew
BY the schoolhouse over yonder,
Where we tried TO do our best,
Then we think of John and Henry,
Kate and Mary and the rest
Where are they, our loved,companions,
Who shared our every JOY and care ?
Some have gone from out among us,
And the church-yard holds its share.
Then how often in our day-dreams
We have felgned a day of cheer,
Free from all lifes cares and worries,
When we'd meet our friends so dear;
Back in Highland where the hill-tops
Stand against sky of blue
Back in HighlaI where our kindred
Wait with Joy and welcome true.
All things are ready for the coming;
The invitation has gone forth.
Gathered from the sunny South,
The East, the West, the North
Gathered as one happy family
The Home Coming feast to share.
Don't you catch the spirit truly
Send 1t out upon the air.
Here bt meath the skies of Autumn,
Hearty greetings We extend
With love and blessing for our brother 4.
With love and blessing for our friend !;
As we journey each one homeward,
Refulgent may our pathway shine
With peace and love eternally,
Down through the plenitude of time.

Why are the Walnut street school

Why are the Walnut street school
building and grounds not kept In good
repair? The majority of the school
children lover 400 of the smaller ones)
are sent to this building. Yet there
have been no improvements made in
the last forty years. There are the
same old windows containing "A small
panes of glass, and the frames are so
badly worn that they rattle with
every gust of wind. The out houses
are the original ones erected when
the building was constructed in 1867,
They are small, foul smelling struct-
ures on the east and west sid Is of the
grounds surrounded by unsightly broad
fences with no walks leading to them,
and In bad weather the children must
tramp through the mud and slush.
An unsightly board fence that should
have been removed twenty years ago
surrounds the lot. On the south and
west sides there are no payements
and never have been, while the brick
affair on the north side is about as
bad as none at all. In fact all the
small children (the large ones 90 to
the other building) have to wade
through the mud In bad weather to
reach school. If this was a poor com.
munity and could not afford anything
better there might be some excuse,
but 1t is not. Besides the high school
building has all modern improvements,
beautiful concrete walks and no un.
slightly outbuildings, and is pointed to
with pride by all citizens and our
school board. Is it not time we were
taking little pride in our primary
and grammar schools and giving the
small tots few of the necessities and
not all the hardships? Why the dis.
elimination, anyhow.

sary for the house to continue in session
until that time.
II was announced 10 the members OF
the legislature that II would be more
convenient to buy tickets ut the depot

Gmnde, calling his attention TO specific
land frauds In Oregon and later letter
criticiEing Hermann for emitting to
make an investigation Of the alleged
frauds, and also for having made known
to interested parties the name OF tho
informeI.
After their Identification by May,
the letters were read to the jury, The
first was from May TO Hermann and In
formed him that sawmill owners were
securing title to public land in the
Blue mountains by fraud Their plan
was TO get an employe to file on cer-
tain tract and, when the claim was
proved up, the employe was to deed tho
property over TO them and receive $50
for his work. One firm kept u man
employed to look out for the best TIM
Der land and 10 secure ii in this man
ner for his firm. In the year preceding
the writing of this letter May charged
that this firm had placed on record
about 60 deeds secured In this manner.
May concluded his letter with the state
ment that he was poor laborer ana
had no AK to grind and only desired to
keep out land grabbers.

MUST NOT OWN PROPERTY.
California Legislature Passes a Bill
Against Orientals.

Sacramento, CAL, Mar, 1.-The low
er house Of the legislature today passed
a sweeping anti-Japanese and anti
Chinese measure, introduced by Assem-
blyman Drew, OF Fresno. The bill is
known as the "antl-alien property
holding BILL" 1t is aimed at the
japanese and Chinese property owners
in this state and Is intended to prevent
them from acquiring and owning prop
erty for longer period than five years {,
In urging the passage of the bill
Drew stated that since January OF
this year one-third of the property
transfers in Fresno had been to Japan
ese.
The bill provides that any alien who
does not become citizen OF the United
States shall acquire and hold title to
land in this state for not more than
five years. II within that time the
alien does not become citizen, the
district attorney shall compel the sale
OF his land or houses. Japanese and
Chinese are not specifically named, but,
as they cannot become citizens, the
bill is aimed directly at them and pre-
cludes them from owning property for
more than five years. The measure
also provides that no contract, agree
ment or lease OF real estate for long
er period than one year shall be made
to any alien and any lease, agreement
or devise OF real estate made to any
alien for longer period shall be null
and void.
The impression is given out that II
the bill reaches the governor he will
sign 1t.

STICKS TO HERMANN.
Former Private Secretary Says Good
Things for Defendant.

Washington, March 1.-The prosecu-
tion in the trial OF Representative Her
mann consumed today in futile at
tempt to break down the evidence given
yesterday by Elliott P. Hough, former
private secretary to the defendant
which was most favorable to Hermann.
Hough had been put on the stand by
the prosecution with the expectation
that his testimony would be damaging
to the defendant, and District Attorney
Baker was incensed that he should give
evidence so much in HernIann's favor
as his statements yesterday that Her.
mann and John A. Benson, who is un-
der indictment for alleged land frauds,
were not coed friends; that, il official
letters got into Hermann's private
books it was through his fault; and
that it had been the custom Of all out
going commissioners previous to Her
mann's time to take their private let
terpress copybooks with them.
Christian II. Muller and Alexander
E. Foster, who had been messengers in
the land office under Hermann and who
destroyed the letter press copybooks by
his ireciton, testified to the part they
had played. Mr.. Muller received an
order from Hermann three weeks be-
fore the latter retired to take the letter
books, about 35 in number, from Her.
mann's private room.
