The Oregon Weekly, of the Uni
verslty of Oregon, gives the following
account of an address before the Uni
versity Y. NJ. C. A. this week by Rev.
C. r. Haudenschield, the well known
evangelist, who comes to this city next
Wednesday to hold series of union
revival meetings at the NJ. e church:
Rev. C. r. Haudenschleld spoke at
| Y. NJ. C. A. last Friday evening. His
theme was the attractiveness of the
Christian life and the obstacles that
keep young men from entering it.
"There is always something to
overcome" he said. young mems
minds are too frequently taken up
with the sinful pleasures of the
world. A false Idea of the attractive
ness of sin keeps many from their
sacred duty. They should know that
God, who gave his only son for their
Sc Ike, will not require them to give up
single thing that Is for their good
The only things that they must give
up are the things that would ruin
them.
'Tt Is the DEVILS business to de-
ceive. He prevents young men from
becoming Christians by encouraging
them in procrastlnatlon. He will not
say, Put off the step for a year, a
month. a day or even an hour but
he will say Don't do It now and the
young man will continue to procras-
tinate and will die in his sins
"The fear of man keeps many out
OF the Christian life, and It is doing
so right here In the University OF
Oregon The young man who has
stamina will do what is right inde-
pendent of what others may do or
say. He will lead and let others fol-
low The fear of man. the inability
to stand chatting and ridicule, makes
many a young man take his first
glass or pay his first game OF cards
II is the significant factor In the ruin
of many young men of good charac-
ter.
Nothing is nobler. manler or
grander than to follow God. Failure
at first Is no disgrace. II the honest
effort be made and continued"

Profit of 100 Per Cent for e5 Years

After holding three vacant residen-
ce lots for nearly 25 years. William
A. Brown sold the property yesterday
for a price that represented an in
crease of over 100 per cent a year
for every year they were held. In
1888 Mr.. Brown bought from Syl-
vester Heath six lots at the north
west corner of Indiana avenue and
Addison street for $3.50. Mr.. Heath
had preempted the ground from the
government, Three of the lots were
sold by Mr.. Brown several years ago
and three were kept until yesterday,
when they were sold to A. L. Snow
for $4,000. AS the money invested
in these three lots was only s125 the
selling price is more than 25 times
the cost.
Until this property was sold yester-
day it had been owned by only two
men, and the abstract fills only two
sheets.-Spokesman Review

HOPE FOR STATEHOOD.
New Mexico People Showing Increas-
ed Interest.

The albuquerque Journal says of
the prospects for statehood for New
Mexico:
In response to letters directed by
him to a great many members of con-
gress some time ago, Colonel w. S.
Hopewell, chairman of the Territori-
al Statehood league, has received
more than so letters from senator's
and representatives expressing their
views on the statehood question or
their willingness to be convinced.
The letters come from men who
represent all sections of the country,
and are, as a rule, encouraging, the
tendency to -mindedness on the
part Of the easterners being espec-
tally noticeable. Many Of the letters
openly declare for statehood, others
express a hope for the bill, while
others go no further than to ac-
knowledge that the writer's are will
ling to be shown.

Mr.. Read does, the speech, the man

the rural South and the rural West.
His latest lecture, First One Thing
and Then Another" is a sparkling
gem of humor and wit, not unmixed
with pathos. Strictly speaking, it is
not a lecture at all, but an informal
heart-to-heart talk that brings the
speaker into close intimacy with his
hearers, and keeps them roaring with
laughter or br shing away tears
throughout the evening. On the plat
form, as In his writings, Mr.. Read
shines with a brilliance all his own.

cry of his words, the charm of his

his personality, combine to weave
the magic spill that holds his audi

felt. but only dimly comprehended.

Is difacult to tell which presents the

self to be q wonderful delineator of

WATERWAY CONGRESS ENDS.
Goes On Record for Government Bond
Issue

Washington, Dec. 12-With great
enthusiasm the National Rivers and
Harbors congress at it's concluding
session here Friday placed itself on
record in favor of the issuance of gov
eminent bonds for the improvement
of the great waterway projects.
The congress declared for an au-
thorized issue by congress at its pres
ent session of s5O0,0O0000 worth of
bonds, the proceeds to be used in the
payment exclusively for such river
and harbor work as may be author
lied by congress, provision for the
issue to be similar to the Panama
canal bonds.
A committee presented to Vice
President Fairbanks and Speaker Can
non the bond resolution. Mr. Fair
banks expressed favorable opinion
of the proposition, but Mr.. Cannon
merely assured the committee that the
resolution would be referred for con-
sideration.
The resolutions urge upon the ma
tional congress the completion Of pro-
iects heretofore approved and the
adoption of new schemes Of a COM
prehensive character; the appointment
of committee to prepare a bill pro-
viding for the proposed bond issue;
the creation of permanent commits
sion to study waterway projects here
and abroad with view to suggest to
congress a comprehensive plan and
policy for improving our waterways:
the enlargement to twice its present
size of the army engineer corps; and
the utilization of the present United
States assistant civil engineers with
authority to propose plans and pro-
jects for waterways.
A movement was inaugurated for
the establishment of permanent head
quarters for the congress in this city
and to this end the Texas delegates
head the list with a pledge OF $1,000
and on behalf of Louisiana, Mayor
Bernham pledged his state for sim
liar amount.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Representa-
tive Theodore Burton of Ohio held his
long-talked of conference Saturday
morning with President-elect Taft at
the home of Miss Mabel Boardman,
where Mr.. Taft is now guest.
Mr. Burton called at 8 O'Clock and
remained an hour. While with Mr..
Taft he talked over variety of sub
jects," as he expressed it. Signifi-
canoe was given to the statement Mr..
Burton made soon after his arrival
at the capitol after the conference.
He announced that he would go to
Cleveland as soon as he can arrange
his office affairs here and will assume
personal management of his senatorial
campaign. If Mr.. Taft rendered Mr..
Burton a cabinet position it is assumed
here that he has declined it in view
of the fact that he persists in saying
that he is actively candidate for the
senatorship. Mr. Burton called on
Mr. Taft by an invitation. Their talk
was in private and Mr.. Burton de-
clined to make public any portion of
the conversation.
