Real Estate Dormant.

Daniel Boyd of the " allowa Law,
Land x Abstract Co. says real estate
was not as active during 1907 as in the
previous year, principally because own
ers wished to discount the advent of
the railroad. This was especially true
of town property. Owners of farms
and town lots too are now listing their
realty at right prices and that is bound
to sell it,
Paid ll,4oo For Butter Fat.
The Wallowa Valley Cream company
and its predecessor, the Blue Mountain
company, paid during the year 1907, $l1
1927 for 44.3l7 % pounds of butter fat
or an average of 26 cents pound. The
price ranged from 20 cents in May to 80
cents during January, February and
March. This company is doing great
work in the valley and adding thousands
of dollars of wealth to the valley. j.
w. Bickford the hustling president of
the company is building for the future
and none is building better.

He spoke in. eulogistic terms of the
benefit his race is receiving from the
hands of the white man, and pointed
out the urgent need Of farther carry
ing religious and moral education
among his race. ass
The foregoing briefly narrates some
of the impressive features of this great
convention. The inspiration of the con-
vention is carried back to every part
of the Western hemisphere, and the
writer believes it will be the starting
point of new religious epoch in Sun

FOUR HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
Thrown from Carriage Against Abut-
ment Gf Bridge.

A serious driving accident occurred
Sunday near Harney, this county. AL
bert Slagenhaup, with his wife, Mrs.
Emma Mann, wife of Rev. Mr.. Mann,
and Mrs. John Biovkley, all of Littles-
town, Pa, were on their way to En-
mitsburg in carriage, when, in des-
cending steep hill rising from the
Monocacy River, the horse suddenly
began kicking and running.
At the foot of the hill the vehicle
was overturned and all it's occupants
were thrown violently against the
abutment of the bridge. All were
more or less injured. Mrs. Slagen-
haup suffered most severely. Her face
and body was badly bruised, and she
received internal injuries from which
she lay unconscious for hours and is
now in a critical condition.
Mr.. Slagenhaup's- face and hands
were confused and skinned; Mrs.
Manns hand was injured and her
shoulder and ankle were sprained, and
Mrs. Biovk1ey received cash on her
forehead. All were for time un-
conscious.

The Pen Mar Reformed Reunion.

This will be the first church reunion
to held at Pen Mar this year. The
date is Thursday, July 16. Owing to
many improvements and the attrac-
tive features in the program, this
ought to be, and likely will be, the
greatest reunion ever held at Pen Mar
by the Reformed Church.
Emory l.. Coblentz, of Middletown,
is the chairman of the program COM
mittee and will have charge of and
conduct the music at the reunion.
The tunes and words will be in the
program, which is now in the hands
of the printers. The Braddock Heights
Orchestra will again play at the re-
union. The splendid concert they
gave last year at Pen Mar has called
forth demand for their services this
year. The "AlI College Hour" which
was so very enjoyable last year, will
be much more complete this year.
There will be but one address, which
will be delivered by Rev. B. B. Royer,
of Heidleburg Church, York, Pa. He
is brilliant young orator and will
please all. Considering the Increased
facilities of reaching Pen Mar, both
by trolley and steam cars, and the
growing desire of meeting and greet
ing our friends once d year in great
church reunion, this 10Th reunion will
in all probability be the greatest gath
ering of Reformed members and their
friends yet held.

Rev. Hartman's Last Sermon.

Last Sunday was a day long to be
remembered by the members of st.
Mary's Lutheran Church at Silver Run
when their pastor, Rev. Stewart Hart
man, preached his last sermon as their
pastor. We do not say farewell SER
mon for that means too much to those
who have listened to such an eloquent
spea ker for nine years. He is without
q doubt an honor to his profession in
every way and the question now ask
ed is this. W here can we find another
pastor like him. His voice is toned
for any occasion and no matter when
or where called on he can hold the
attention of his audience.
The large church was filled during
the morning services and a large
crowd gathered to enjoy the fellowship
meeting in the evening at which time,
Revs. Calvin Slagle and James B.
Stonosifer, of Westminster Rev. Land
of Manchester, and Rev. J. o. Yoder
of the Lutheran Charge at Silver Run
were also present.
During Rev. Hartman's pastorate at
this place two hundred names were
added to the record, one hundred and
sixty-six baptized and quite a number
of improvements have been made to
the church and parsonage.
Rev. Hartman enters his new field
of labor in Woodstock, Va. Many good
wishes go with him.

DIRECT LINE TO WASHINGTON.
NJ. & M. Association Meets Friday
Evening to Consider Proposition.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Westminster will hold
special meeting Friday evening,
July 8, at 8 o'clock in the Royal Ar
canum rooms, Wantz building, to take
action on a proposition for putting
this city in direct connection by rail
with Washington. We do not know
the details of this proposition, but
they will be laid before the meeting,
and it is hoped that every one hav-
ing the interests of the town at heart
will be present. 1t is said the offer
comes from the persons promoting the
Washington, Frederick and Gettys-
burg road. This would give us con-
nection mot only with Washington, but
with a number of towns just across
the border in Pennsylvania-Little
town, Gettysburg, Hanover and others.
Westminster is sadly lacking in
transportation facilities. We have
everything else to attract the business
man, the manufacturer and the home
seeker. More railroads and trolley
lines would put some life into the
town, and we hope our citizens will
not neglect this opportunity.

WAR ON SAN JOSE SCALE.
State Horticultural Department Orders
Inspectors to Begin Work.


instructions have been issued by the
officers of the State Horticultural De-
partment directing the local inspec-
tors appointed in the various counties
to commence work OF inspection of or
chards for San Jose scale and peach
yellows July 1. These men, 27 in all,
were required to take a course at the
Maryland Agricultural College last
winter to better fit them for the work
of Identification of the various injuri-
GUS insects and plant diseases and to
give up-to-date information to the
growers for their control.
This work on the part of the depart
ment has been great help to the or
chardists throughout the state, as the
inspectors come in personal contact
with the growers and can point out
such infected trees and give advice as
to treatment. 1t also enables the of
fcers of the department to learn OF
direfully neglected cases where the
scale or yellows Is allowed to stand
without treatment. In such cases the
officers endeavor to impress upon the
Individual owner the great necessity
of treatment in order to save his trees
as well as protect his neighbors. If
the treatment recommended is not ap-
piled it is then necessary that the law
be enforced. . -.
While the officers, Prof. T. B. Sym
ons, state entomologist, and Prof. J.
B. S. Norton, state pathologist, will
give all the cooperation possible in
aiding in the control of these pests,
they must perform their duty to orch
ardists of the state in enforcing the
law where necessary.
