preacher who was crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him a text he thought safe, 1.-THE way
OF the transgressor is hard"
Friends" said the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture First the transgressor.
Second. his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We whl pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given. but sup.
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
II is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton In every transaction Is whether
II Is right or wrong Not will save
money, but is It Just? Not Is 1t more
convenient, but is It fair? Not
whether is II good business, but
whether II Is good morals?
For you and l know, and all the
world Is coming TO know, that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And a man may be as dis.
honest in saving money as In getting
IL.
It is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send II
away because we are under obliga-
lions to the home town, but not to
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is un.
der financial obligations to the town.
OF course the town is also indebted
10 the country. but the town cannot
help but pay its debt, its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side OF the OBJ
legation.

DOPING FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
Spokane Paper Makes Sensational
Statements.

Doping the college college football
players is the latest thing in north
western college athletics, says the
Spokane Chronicle. It has developed
that at least two of the players who
competed in recent games in the in
land empire were doped before the
game to enhance the chances of VIC
tory for the teams.
One of these is Minor, end on the
Washington State College eleven. Be-
fore the game with Idaho. Minor
was suffering with a lame ankle and
was so bad that Coach Bender fear'
ed that he would not be able to line
up. Then the overpowering call for
victory became too great and Minor
was doped with strychnine or cocaine
and went into the game. At that he
was unable to play through the en-
tire contest and is now even in worse
shape than he was before the game.
The other player who sacrificed
himself to the demand for winning
was Quarterback Paul of the Whit
man team. Paul had broken bone
in his foot and 1t was thought that
1t was impossible for him to play
in the game against Whitman. How
ever, his trainer doped him literally
with cocaine and he played a great
part of the contest.

for timely assistance given by the

admitted it was for her.

IRON ORE FOUND.
Snake River PrOspector Finds New
Ore i'm Snake River Country.


The Whitebird Independent, pub
lished at Whitebird, Idaho, reports a
strike of iron ore on the upper Snake
river. The account published is as
follows:
Frank Wissinger, the veteran
prospector, was in the city this week
from Snake river and brought with
him some samples of iron ore from
the big ledge recently discovered by
him on the oregon side. He has re-
ceived returns from an assay on the
ore, which was an average taken from
clear across the ledge, and which
gives returns of Sc per cent iron. The
ledge at the point where Mr. Wissin-
ger secured the samples is 20 feet
wide and is more than 100 feet in
width at other points. and is easily
traced for a distance of about a mile
and a quarter.
Erred A. Davis who is a compe-
tent Judge of all kinds of ore, made
a rough guess as to how high the rock
would assay, coming within one per
cent of it, his guess being 55 per cent,
and he also stated that the ore carried
large amount of manganese iron.
"Mr. Wissinger left for the scene
Of the new discovery on Monday and
expects to return the last of the
week"

SAWNnLL RESUMES.
Austin Concern Starts Again After
Temporary Shutdown.

The Austin sawmill began opera
ton this morning after several days
OF forced idleness on account of the
financial troubles, says the Baker
City Herald.
Men who had been employed to
run the mill got together and decid-
ed If the company would furnish the
supplies necessary for them to live
while working they would start the
mill and agree to wait for their pay
with the commercial horizon should
become sufficiently clear to warrant
the company again going on the cash
basis, such as has marked the Oregon
Lumber company's business methods
since its Incorporation.
This company is one of the strong
institutions Of Oregon and the fact
that it was unable to procure suffic-
lent cash to meet its pay roll is the
best proof that things were In cha
otic state. There is reason to believe
that the plant at South Baker may
soon begin operations on the same
basis as the Austin mill.

STAGE DRIVER SUICIDES.
Jack Pugh of Rye Valley Shoots
Himself I'm Dependency.

Jack Pugh, the old mail carrier
from Durkee to Rye valley, commit
ted suicide Saturday afternoon by
shooting himself in the left cheek
with a sixshooter. says the Baker
City Herald. He was a man over so
years of age and lived alone in a lit
tie cabin in that picturesque country
Neighbors saw the blinds pulled
down and noticed that his stock had
not been cared for, which gave them
the impression that old Jack was
sick or away from home. Some one
tried the door and found 1t locked.
The mystery thickened, as it does in
a rural community when anything
out of the ordinary occurs, and the
door was forced open only to find the
old mail carrier cold and still In
death, a gaping wound in his left
cheek, and some of his valuables in
tin box close BESIDE him.
