With Prospects In Umatilla County
That a preliminary survey has been
made and other steps taken towards
the construction OF an electric line
from Pendleton to Irrigon was an
nounced here last evening by DR.. II.
W. Coe, who came up from Portland
with a party on the evening train.
According to DR.. Coe, definite plans
for the electric road have not been
worked out yet, but the thing Is being
Investigated in earnest and the prs
pect of a trolley line through the ir-
rigated sAction is more than dream.
That the irrigated section In the
west end. composed OF the lands under
the East Umatilla project, the Fur
nish-Coe project and other private
bitches. is on the edge Of a great de-
velopment Is firmly believed by DR..
Coe. Up to this time the land under
the Furnish ditch has been selling at
a rate much faster than was antici-
pated and he says the project will be
sold out within IL months.
The settlement OF the irrigated Sec
tions. he says, will make an electric
line not only profitable, but almost
imperative. The entire section be-
tween Echo and Irrigon will be dense
ly settled and an electric line will be
necessary to carry the products to
market.
1t is the belief of DR.. Coe that PEN
dleton is to remain as the hub Of
Umatilla county and that the devel-
opment Of the west end will strengthen
the business prestige Of this city. He
says that the electric line as now pro-
posed will start from this place and
extend through the irrigated section Of
Irrigon by way of Umatilla. touching
at Echo, Foster and Hermiston EN-
route.
With DR.. Coe last evening was DR..
D. H. Rand, a Portland capitalist and
who formerly practlced medicine at
Heppner, and r. r. Wood. DR.. Goes
secretary at Echo. They spent the
evening here in consultation with w.
]. Furnish and d. B. Costume, local
representative OF the land company,
and left on the s o'clock train this
morning for Echo.

CHRISTIANTTY's CRISIS.
Chicago Professor Declares New
Faith Is Coming.

Chicago. April 15.-"In my opinion
Christianity is in the most grievous
crisis of its history I do not refer to
controversies in newspapers and on
the streets, but to the quiet, bitter
battle which serious men are fighting
out in their own souls. 1t is the dying
Of the old faith which Christianity is
experiencing"
In these words George Burman
Foster, of the Divinity school of the
University of Chicago, strikes the
keynote OF remarkable essay, "con-
cerning the religious basis of ethics"
in the American Journal Of Theology
for April. Activity of the churches
and their apparent prosperity. accord
ing to the daring theologIan, are only
throes which precede dissolution.
