TEAM IS RECOVERED
Thief Drove Athena Livery Rig to
North Yakima and Tried
to Sell It.

Harry MBcride of the Mcbride &
Co. Livery stable returned Sunday from
North Yakima, where he recovered
his team and buggy, stolen on Monday
previous by fellow representing him
self to be harvest hand and wanting
the team for drive to the Holdman
neighborhood.
The thief Yas accompanied by boy
when the first trace of the rig was
heard of near North Yakima, Tuesday
evening. At that point a farmer
named Mcdonald notified the North
Yakima officials that he had been ten
dered the sale of team under suspic-
ious circumstances and that he. believ-
ed the outfit was stolen property. This
was Tuesday evening and the officers
investigated at the livery, stables of
the town to find il they owned any
teams of the description given by Nc
Donald.
Not long after the officers had made
their rounds the team was drove into
the Enterprise livery stables at Yaki-
ma, the proprietors of which did not
notify the sheriff, the result being
that the team was not located until
Friday afternoon, the intervening time
being sufficient to allow the thief to
make his escape.
Mcbride sold the horses for 5000 and
shipped the harness and buggy home.
The horses were in bad shape having
made the trip to North Yakima in two
daya.

NOW IT'S UP TO YOU.
A Chance to Add to Our Population
Take This as Personal and
Act at Once.

The supreme need of all Oregon and
particularly this community is more
home-makers. The opportunity to
secure them under tine most advan-
tageous conditions is now at hand.
Several cities. towns and villages in
this State will make material addi-
tion to their population as result of
energetic work done collectively
through the commercial bodies and in
dividually by the citizens in advising
thousands of people back East of the
low priced one-way oolonist rates
which will be put on sale September
1st and continue Entil October 31st,
to Oregon, from all points in the Unit
ed States.
These rates are agreed upon by all
the railroads in the United States and
Canada and are controlled by the
Trans Continental Passenger Associa-
tion, and Oregonians must bear in
mind that the home maker is being in
vited on similar rates to Canada, Cali
fornia, Washington, Texas, Georgia,
Oklahoma and other States, and the
state and community ghich he will
buy his ticket is the one that oonvinces
him in advance that their particular
spot on this great earth is the one in
which he should live. We have only
one month left before the sale begins.

Omaha, st. Paul, Minneapolis, and all

the great Missouri Valley and west of
there, is $500, with a reduction of
$2.50 on each ticket east of Umatilla; /;
from st. Louis. $4,000; Chicago,
$500; New York, $50. 90, and a pro-
portionate rate from every other point,
large or small, but this ticket must be
bought to your station, and not to
Portland or some other city, if you ex-
pect them to come to you, and it de-
wolves upon the readers of this paper to
see that every letter that goes out of
the post Office carries with it correct
information relative to these rates.
Get all the facts from your local agent.
The work Of advertising these colo
mist rates is up to each community
and each individual. If we could add
a hundred thousand to the population
of Oregon in the next year it would
mean many millions of dollars of addi-
tional wealth to the State.
The school population of one district
in Tillamook County was doubled in
six months through the correspondence
of the pupils. Corvallis caused the
sale Of 100000 worth of land through
advertising in well-known agricultural
papers in the older states. The Oregon
Development League received over
10000 inquiries from people wanting
to know about Oregon farming lands.
There is an intense desire to come
to the Pacific Northwest on the part of
ihe people of the United States and
this is particularly true of Oregon.

Convicts Build Road.

Thirty convicts from the Walla
Walla penitentiary in charge of FIVE
guards, will leave the prison some time
this week for Pateros, Okanogan coun-
ty, where they will be employed in
constructing one of the new state roads
authorized by the last legislature.
Under the new law the state peniten-
tiary is furnishing these convicts at
the request of the state highway board.
The cost of transporting the prisoners,
their food and clothing while employ
ed on the work and generally the cost
of conducting the camp will be paid
out of the appropriation for the road
except that no wages will be figured
for the labor of the convicts.

PUSH OREGON TO THE FRONT
Easy Way to Advertise the State ia
Our Eastern Friends.

On April Goth last the Oregonian
published special industrial edition
devoted exclusively to the exploitation
Of Oregon. 1t probably contained
more special and miscellaneous infor-
nation about Oregon than any one
publication that has ever been issued.
1t is peculiarly useful and valuable to
the homeseeker, because it gives the
latest and most reliable information
about so many different subjects that
the homeseeker is naturally interested
in. Almost every department Of in
dustry is specialized, and both descrip-
tive and statistical information Of q
highly valuable character is given ex-
tensively and in entertaining form.
Residents Of Oregon who know its
advantages as compared with the con-
gested and depleted East, and who still
have friends back there whom they
would like to see here enjoying the
good things of this favored state. can
aid in splendid work now without
cost and very little effort. IL you think
your friend would be interested in
knowing more about Oregon and might
eventually become valuable citizen,
send his name and address to the gene
raj passenger agent Of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation Company. and a
copy of this special edition, with a
complete summary of the several sub
jects treated. carefully indexed, Will
be mailed to him promptly. In this
manner YOU may he the means not only
of doing your friend good turn, but
of helping to stimulate the growth and
prosperity of Oregon.
Don't forget that commencing Sep
tember 1st and continuing daily for
two months, tickets will be on sale at
almost every railroad station in the
East to all points in Oregon and the
Northwest at what has come to be pop
ularly known as "colonist rates." /"
These rates are the cheapest general
long distance rates ever esta blished,
and enables one to reach Oregon from
any part of the United States at but
trifle more than one cent mile. They
arc the greatest incentive to coloniza-
tion and progressive home building of
any known agency. and if the restless,
dissatisfied resident of the East is made

According to an opinion just render

TO the normal school plants at Weston
and Ashland can not be classed as re-
pairs. and therefore are not provided
for in the appropriation. The 20-room
addition to the girls dormitoTy at
Weston, badly needed, and recommend
ed by the visiting committee Of the
board, must be passed up. Inside re-
pairs to the building may be made,
however, and everything essential will
be done in this direction to improve
the accommodations for the rush of
students expected there this fall.

MATZOS
Will be Eaten by Jews for Seven
Days, Commencing Friday
Feast of Passover.

The Jewish Feast of Passover, COM
memorative of the exodus of the chill
dren of Israel out of Egypt, will be
celebrated by Jews all over the world,
commencing next Friday evening. Tle
celebration continues for a whole
week, during which matzos, or unleav-
ened bread, is eaten. 1t begins with
a home service called Sedar, during
the progress of which there is a reci-
tai of the ancient Haggadah, where
in is recounted in song and story the
trials and tribulations of the Jews in
their flight.
Just preceding the Passover is
house-cleaning time among the Jews
wherever found,a and among the ortho-
doX especial pains are taken that not
a crumb of bread is left in the home
At the Sedar service the table is
decorated with the finest plate of the
family, an extra set being used for
the purpose. A special menu Is pre-
pared for the occasion, and each vi
and has some hidden significance. The
matzos is intended to recall the flight
of the Jews, who did not have time
to leaven their bread. The bitter herbs
indicate the sufferings of the Jews
at the hands of Pharaoh of their fore
bears. During the feast the whole
household partakes of four cups OF
wine, symbolic of sanctification, SER
vice, redemption and grace. Invita-
tions to members of the faith to jcin

Sunday School Workers, Notice.

1t is pleasant to believe that more
schools were in operation during the
past winter than ever before in our
county. The prospects are equally
bright for the summer. 1t is hoped
that every school will have literature
to begin the second quarters work
by April Z, 1907. Some churches plan
to have mission schools for the sea-
sons work.
The Rockport Magisterial District
Association will likely hold their
meeting in Rockport, April 8, Hartford
Magisterial District at Beaver Dam,
April 8. All schools in these dis
tricts will please arrange to have
delegates present. Everybody invit-
ed, whether delegates or not. Watch
the papers for notice of any change
in dates. Let us all try to make
this the best Sunday School year in
the history of Ohio county.

Rural.ROute Signals

Under an order issued last May by
the Postoffice Department, patrons OF
the rural delivery service are requir-
ed to display signals on their boxes
when they leave mail in them for the
carriers to collect, as carriers when
serving their routes are not required
to open and examine any mail boxes
except those to which they have mail
to deliver and those on which signals
are displayed to indicate there Is
mail for carriers to collect. Those
patrons whose boxes are not provided
with signals must attach thereto some
device which, when displayed, will
plainly show passing carriers there
is mail to be collected. 1t is not nee
essary that such device shall be eth
er complicated or costlW very sim
Die arrangement will answer the pur-
pose. Carriers must lower the signals
on boxes after making collections, pro
vided no mail is left therein; and
must display the signal when they
deposit mail for patrons, unless the
patrons have made request to the con-
trary.

The Joyful Sunday.

Christmas is the day for childhood,
but Easter Sunday is the day for the
mature. No wonder Christ envelop-
ed the grave in golden cloud! What
procession of great ones marching
toward the tomb! Gone all the heroes
of the Victorian era In England! Gone
all our Concord school of essayists
and poets! Gone the leaders in the
world of finance and invention! Gone
our fathers and mothers and little
children! But this Easter morn tells
us that the all-loving and all-power-
full hand of God has lifted the soul
over that little rivulet named death
and set 1t down in that land where
the day has dawned and the shadows
fled away, where the wicked cease
from from troubling, where the weary
are at rest. Christ found death the
king of terrors: He left 1t the king of
mysteries. He found the grave a
black hole where the soul vanished
into nothing; He left II a golden door
where God and the soul meet in the

found death described by the skeleton
and the scythe; He left death an event
so beautiful that earths lilies are not
sweet enough to garland a mans
tomb. He found death with one color,
black, and turned the black to gold;
He found death with one song,a dirge,
and transformed it into a symphony.
What philosophers hoped, Christ knew.
Speaking with authority, He said,
Let not your heart be troubled. In
myFather's house are many mansions;

the flowers of Easter, to wave on
the day dedicated to the immortal

To the Churches Of Ohio County As
SOciati0n.

Dear Brethren:--On page 20 of the
minutes of the Ohio County Associa-
ton for 1906 you can see that the
Association established a Sunday
School Convention for the promotion
of Sunday Schools in the churches OF
the Association. OF this convention
A. B. Gardner was elected president
and o. M. Shultz, secretary. Last
year twelve of the thirty-six churches
in the association reported no Sunday
School. Brother, was your church In
that list? 1t is the wish of the AS
sociation and also of the officers OF
the convention that every church
report a thriving school this year. We
hope that every pastor of church
in the Association and also the MEM
bers will see that Sun
day school is organized in their
church at the earliest possible date,
IL no school Is in progress. The con-
yention will be called to meet in May
or June and we earnestly hope that
every church will be represented.
Please send report of your school to
A. b. Gardner as soon as organized.
All schools In session please report
at once. A. B. Gardner, Ch'm'n. 4
