Luther Burbank Plant Wizard.
Among the Speakers TO Address the
Congress.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. %
cultural and commercial bodies and
delegates appointed by the governors
of various states assembled In Salt
Lake City today for the second ses-
sion of the Trans Mississippi Dry
Farming congress. The congress has
for its object the scussion of plans,
methods and projects for the agri-
cultural development and reclama-
ton of the semi-arid regions of the
west by systems of scientific soil cul-
ture. Among the states and terri
tories represented are Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska. Nevada, New
Mexico, oregon, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. Experts from the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton are among the speakers on the
program for the three days of the
session
The subjects slated for discussion
include: Consideration of the best
methods of rendering semi-arid lands
productive where ditch irrigation Is
! impracticable or impossible; the de-
termination of the best agricultural
methods where crop and live stock
farming is practicable; to encourage
the establishment of experimental
farms to determine the limitations
of scientific soil culture and seed Sc
lection, these farms to be operated
under the direction of state or fed
eral experiment stations or by pri-
vate enterprise; to assist prospective
settlers in every possible way to de-
| termine what land under scientific
soil culture methods is susceptible Of
crop production, and to encourage the
use of every conservative practical
method for developing the semi-arid
regions of the United States.
1t is declared by scientists who
have made a long study of the SUBJ
ject that the reclamation Of semi
arid lands by irrigation will soon
come to an end, since the water sup
ply available for that purpose will
soon be doing its full duty. With
this fact before them. experts of the
national and state governments and
others interested in soil culture have
of recent years been giving much at
tention to processes of dry farming,
with the result that that method of
soil cultivation is now in successful
use in many sections of the west. II
is to disseminate this information and
encourage efforts to reach more
thorough understanding of the posi-
bilities of dry farming that the
Trans Mississippi congress was form
ed at Denver last year. The present
session promises to be even more i'm
portant than the first. since a great
advance has been made by the in
lvestigators during the last year.
Among the speakers expected to
address the congress is Luther Bur-
bank, the California "plant wizard"
who has given considerable attention
TO dry farming methods and who will
speak on the subject with the au-
thority of one who thoroughly un-
derstands II. Delegates from IA
states. two territories and all of the
provinces of the Canadian northwest
are in attendance at the congress.

EUGENE MEETINGS
HAD 100 CONVERTS
REV. G. II. HAUDENSCIIELD
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
Over 1000 People Attended Closing
Meeting of the Big Revival at Eu-
gene-IIaudenschleld FOrclbIe
and Convincing Speaker.

The Eugene Guard says Of the ex.
celent revival meetings just CLOSED
there by Rev. c. r. Haudenschield
who is now conducting the union re-
vlval meeting in this city:
Last night in a sweep OF glory
with 10 persons, mostly men, at the
chancel seeking Christ the three
weeks revival campaign at the Meth
odist church closed 1t has been a
season of deep and unusual interest
Scarcely a night that the audiences
have not packed the church, the lar
gest auditorium in the city with the
exception of Willard hall, 1000 and
even 1900 people having crowded in
to the building and on several occa-
sions scores have been turned away
for lack of room.
The benefits to the church itself
and to the Christian people who have
been privileged to hear Hauden-
schield both day and night have been
immeasurable. The evangelists
teachings are of a deep. basal, Bibli-
cal character. Not only the people
OF the Methodist church, but friends
from other churches of the city
have been greatly delighted and prof
tied by his exploitation OF Biblical
truth. The Methodist church itself
has received an uplift which puts 1t in
better condition to do the work of the
kingdom than ever before.
The music has been a special feat
ure OF the meeting-a chorus of half
a hundred voices, assisted by an or
chestra. under the direction of the
evangelist. have inspired the congre-
CATION to some of the most effective
work ever heard in a congregational
line In Eugene.
The thanks Of the church and the
community are due to the persons
who assisted in the choir loft from
night to night.
Over $50 Converted.
As a result of the campaign there
have been fully $50 conversions
The card system of church prefer
ence as directed by the official board
of the church has been used. Every
seeker has been directed To Christ
as a personal seeker first. then he
has been asked to state his church
preference. the matter of his choice
I'm this regard being left to himself.
AS a result there will be scarcely a
church in the city which will not re-
ceive accessions because OF this meet
ing. as cards so signed have been
sent to the respective pastors
There have been during the revival
81 accessons to the Methodist church
"a remarkable feature of this being
that the larger proportion of these
have been men. many OF them past
middle life. The total number OF ac-
cessions as result of the meeting TO
the Methodist church alone will be
upward of 100.
This church has experienced re-
markabe growth during the last 10
months, there having been 43O ac-
cessIons to their number during that
time. Her growth outside the revival
season has been even greater than at
these special times.
Scarcely Sunday passes without
members standing before the altar
and being received into communion
Last year 205 persons were received
outside of revival effort and this year
in the 2h months previous to the
special meetings so have united.

ORIGIN OF INFLUENZA.
Peasants Thought It Was Due to Mall
 ign Star, and So Named the Grip.

Even mobs have an individuality of their own; and that tumultuous as- semblage of cases of disease which we term an epidemic is no exception. That latest and most lamentably sue cessful conspiracy against the peace and comfort of the body, the recent epidemic of influenza, is in point. While showing no particular mercy to any region or organ, it has been com mented upon by physicians and health officers over the country as showing a special, and for a so-called "respira- tory" disease unusual preference for causing disturbances in the stomach and alimentary tract. So violent and common have these digestive disturb ances been in some localities that they have almost completely masked the real nature of the disease, and several cities and neighborhoods have been startled by the sudden appearance among them of an epidemic of what was termed winter cholera" Most of these cholera" epidemics in winter are now widely regarded as irregular forms of influenza. The first great grip epidemic of the nineteenth cen tury entered Europe from the south west by way of Italy and Spain. The inhabitants not merely of villages, but of cities and whole provinces, would be stricken in a single night. So astonishingly sudden and widespread was the attack that even the medical profession could only attribute 1t to some atmospheric influence; while the credulous peasantry clutched at the idea that it was due to the influenza" of some malign star or approaching comet, and hence it's most extraordi- nary and irrational name.-Collier's

has learned one essential fact concern ing the wealth of Trinity nor the disposition thereof.
 Sixty or seventy years ago, it did not appear that she was doing any thing for the poor of her parish, any thing to further religion in the re- gions of the city where it was most needed, nor anything adequate to sup ply the spiritual wants of rapidly increasing population. The dissatisfied appealed at last to the Legislature and in 1856 committee of the Senate was appointed to investigate Trinity, learn what she really did with her money.
 The committees report, though framed in language of an obviously studied moderation, was scalding in- dictment of Trinity and her methods. It did not charge that in obtaining the law of 1874 the corporation was guilty of deliberate and premeditated fraud, but it added the acid comment that eff there had been any such fraud ulent intention to obtain power under that law your committee cannot see that it would have been necessary for the corporation in that case to alter in any respect that which has been their actual course in order to carry out such fraudulent intentions with entire success" The committee re- ported bill making drastic changes in the act of 1914. The right of all the Protestant Episcopalians of New York to share in the original property was recommended to be estored; that is, every communicant that held a pew or seat in any Protestant Epis- copal church in New York City, or had within one year partaken of com munion in any such church, was to be entitled to vote for church-wardens and yestrymen of Trinity Corporation; and the vestry of Trinity was required to make once year to the corporators printed and detailed statement of all receipts and expenditures and of the existing condition OF Jhe property.
 This measure was duly introduced in the Senate where, in the face of the strenuous and able opposition of I rfnity, it passed by a decisive ma jority. Before it could come to a vote in the Assembly the session end ed. By the following year it seems to have been forgotten, and it has never been revived.

chamberlain's Has the Preference.

MT. Fred c. Hanrahan, prominent druggist of Portsmouth, Va, says: 'For the past six years have sold and recommended Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is a great remedy and one of the best patent medicines on the market. I handle some others for the same pur- poses that pay me a larger profit, but this remedy is so sure to effect cure, and my customer so certain to ap- preciate my recommending it to him, that give it the preference" For sale at the El Centro drug store.

aalilee,s Great Work.

The magnetic survey of the Pacific
Ocean which the sailing yacht Galilee,
under the auspices of the Carnegie In
stitution, has been making, has moro
than passing interest to naval men
since our warships are occupying a more
conspicuous place in those waters. The
Railway and Marine News, published
on the Pacific slope, rejoiees over the
fact that this survey will make naviga.
tion of the largest ocean more accurate.
Since August, 1905, the Galilee has ira
versed the North and South Pacific
oceans number of times, covering
nearly 10000 miles. Among the dis
coveries made by this vessel was that
along such well traversed route as
that between San Francisco and Homo
lulu there were magnetic errors of from
one to two degrees on the best of
charts, while in other regions the errors
amounted to three and even five de.
grees. In Alaska, at Treadwell Point,
near Juneau, "a study was made of a
local magnetic pole that presents many
anomalous features and exerts a local
magnetic attraction which affects the
compasses of ships in the channel q

Already the work of the Galilee has re.

charts. The photographic Office has
also in preparation charts showing the
lines of equal magnetic dip and equal
magnetic intensity, both based largely
on data supplied by the institution. A
complete survey of the Pacific Ocean is
greatly needed. Much has been done
in this line, but far more remains to be
done.
