Sheds Coat to Preach.

Churchmen and others in attend
ance at the First Baptist church yes
terday were surprised and somewhat
taken back when the pastor, Frank L.
Whitney, invited all masculine men,
bers of the congregation to remove
their coats, says the Yakima Repub-
lie. The pastors invitation was COM
piled with only in a few cases at the
morning service some few of the
small boys venturing to shed their
jackets.
But when the pastor himself ap-
peared in shirt sleeves at the evening
service, the good brethren of the
church were not slow in following the
example set by the pastor.
1t is likely that the custom will be-
come popular one among the
churches of the city during the hot
weather. Although the invitation to
the men to be cooler and more COM
Portable caused a little stir in the
amen corner and caused the girls on
the rear seats to giggle little, the
Rev. Mr.. Whitney's idea Of comfor-
table worship undoubtedly will be
popular.

AGAINST SUNDAY BASEBALL
Salem Good Citizenship League d.
mand Strict Law Enforcement.

There were no arrests for Sunday
baseball as was programmed by the
Salem Good Citizenship league. The
day was very warm. and there was a
large crowd out to the baseball park
says the Salem Journal.
The Saturday night meeting at the
opera house to discuss the liquor
question was adjourned until Friday
night OF this week at the same place
The carnival was at its height and the
drawing qower of the temperance
speakers advertised was not sufficient
to get the crowd. A number Of the
invited ministers were present when
Hon. H..B. Thielsen announced the
postponement of the meeting.
That there will be further efforts
to enforce the Sunday laws no one
can doubt There is a strong ele-
ment among the Good Citizenship
league who favor the strict enforce
ment Of the Sunday laws on the Ca
madam plan, which includes excur-
sions by rail or water, or any sports
whatever on Sunday.

1T was not like this in the olden

pioneer resident and former post
master Of Pendleton.
1--WE didn't have any ice in the
early days and there wasn't as much
shade as now but / don't believe we
noticed the heat as much as we do at
present." said he this morning as he
wiped the perspiration from his fore
head and smiled at the recollection OF
the days gone by.
In early days according to Mr.. Liv-
ermore, the residents Of the city were
not dependent upon any municipal
water supply for here was method
by which plenty Of water could be
obtained 1t consisted in driving a
pipe into the ground 10 or IL feet and
merely pumping the water out.
But that was before the days when
civilization put the typhoid microbes
in we'll water and though 1t could be
used in safety then the case is diff

INDIAN BEAUTY SHOW.
Chafmers OF Oklahoma Tribes VIII
Show Their Charms.

Muskogee, Okla, July 21.-The
good old summer time" is being
joyfully welcomed by the redskins Of
the new state with the customary
dances, festivals and merry-making.
Among the novel features which will
mark the seasons festivities among
the Indians is beauty show" to
be held early next month at the
new town OF Bromide. Several hun
dred Indian maidens have already
entered and the show will doubtless
afford a unique opportunity to wit
ness the most beautiful charmers Of
OF Oklahoma tribes.
Another feature of the summer in
Oklahoma In which Poor Lo takes
especial delight Is the green corn
dance. This festival as usual, is
preceded by preliminary husks, at
which the Indians drink concoction
brewed from certain weed. the Sc
cret of the medicine men. This Is
supposed to cleanse the system and
keep the partakers free from dis
ease.
No good Indian will eat roasting
ears until after the green corn dance,
custom handed down from father
to son for many generations, and still
rigidly observed among a large num-
ber OF the fullbloods. For this cere-
mony. hundreds of braves assemble
and the squaws cook large kettles
full OF corn cut from the cob, put
ting in big pieces Of beef and pork
with II. Each Indian has a bowl.
and getting his portion, sits on the
ground or anywhere else he can while
he eats. A dance will sometimes last
three days. There is feast each
day and a dance the night following.
At these dances the trouble occurs |
The Indians after their severe medical
probation, are in fine fettle. Then |
bootleggers always manage to get in
a lot Of "4O-rod'' liquor and the fight
ing begins. Deputy marshals watch |
these stump dances closely, and they |
usually land several boot-leggers. The
more liquor there is the more fighting.
Te there are old scores in an Indian
town they are usually settled at these
places because all the Indians attend
and when they commence to get
drunk they proceed to wipe out their
differences.

HOOD RIVER TO YIELD
200 CARLOADS OF APPLES.
Famous Apple District Will Produce
Half Million Pounds.

famOuS apple Dlstrict VIII Produce
Half Million Pounds.
The approach of the apple season
at Hood River is causing growers and
shippers to put on their thinking caps
and estimates as to size of the crop are
already being made says a Hood River
item. 1t is admitted by all who are
familiar with the condition of the
half grown fruit that this years crop
is one of the finest that ever hung on
the trees here both as to quantity and
quality.
Weather conditions in the spring
and early part Of the summer were
most favorable in giving the young
fruit good start and there is no rea-
son to believe that 1t will not mature
into the greatest and best crop of ap-
Piles that were ever shipped out of the
valley.
Estimates as to number of boxes Of
apples that will be shipped from Hood
River this year run all the way from
225.000 to400,000. There figures are
the guesses Of those who have made
a considerable study Of the question
and while there is a rather wide var
iation between the minimum and max
imum figures as to the production 1t is
accounted for by difference of opin-
ion as to what the young orchards
which will come into bearing this
year will produce.
{ A safe estimate is thought to be in
the neighborhood Of 100000 boxes
which will make shipment of some
thing over 400 cars Of almost double
the quantity Of fruit ever placed on
the market by Hood River in previous
years.

A MIssPENT LIFE.

if it be found in the way of righteous

The hoary head of John Williamson,
sentenced in New York city the other
day TO serve a prison term Of five years
for forgery, was not a crown OF glory. %
Williamson is 81 years old. From his
young manhood he has been a crimi-

clearly and TO walk uprightly before

EoR ANNUAL CARNIVAL.

The success of the U. c, T. celebra-
ton in Salt Lake last week has quite
naturally led to the suggestion that
an annual carnival be held here, some
what on the order of the Mardi Gras
festival in New Orleans or the Yelled
Prophet in st. Louis. 1t has been
pointed out that the undertaking would
annually attract thousands of visitors
to Salt Lake and that through it the
city could receive advertising of the
most profitable sort. The idea viii APP
peal TO a great many patriotic Salt
Iakers, and il seems to be entirely
feasible.
In view of our experiences with the
weather during this June it might per
haps be advisable 10 defer the carni-
val until about the middle of July, if
il is TO be made a yearly feature. The
lake season is approaching its height
at that time, and the other resorts are
at their best. Besides, the weather is
ordinarily much more settled. July is
usually a delightful month in this To-
period, many of our most delicious
fruits and vegetables have attained the
finest period Of their production The
weather is a trifle warm at times about
the middle of the day. but the nights
are always cool enough to enable all
corners TO enjoy refreshing sleep.
The expense of the carnival would
necessarily be borne. at least TO a large
extent, by the general public. Still we
believe enough subscriptions 10 make
il a success could be secured. Many
citizens would be glad 10 subscribe lib
orally every year. And it will be good
business TO make such subscriptions,
too. for the city would receive from
visitors many times the original out
lay. The annual carnival proposition
is surely feasible.

graphed report from Milwaukee. And
yet the sellers of intoxicants owe their
greatest revenue TO the treating habit.
Unless a man is practically a con-
frmed inebriate he rarely thinks of
taking a drink alone. And If he is Il
confirmed drinker and has reached the
point where his system demands a
stimulant at a certain time, he will
take his drink and walk out of the sa-
loon. Rarely, unless he is an absolute
slave TO the habit. win be take more
than the one drink. On the other hand,
if three or four men are drinking to-
gether each feels it incumbent on him
self to buy at least one drink for
everybody in the crowd.
The result is that each of the four
has four drinks. And by the time the
fourth drink has been taken the man
who treated first feels liberal enough
70 treat again. BY that time, also. the
other members of the party are in
generous humor and, if all take the
drinks that are suggested, they do not

on sobriety. And the chances are that
not one of the four men had the slight
est idea of becoming intoxicated when
ne walked into the saloon.
Brewer Brand is right. The treating
habit is the greatest evil connected
with the liquor industry. 1t leads TO
more drunkenness. saddens more
homes, sends more men into dishonored
graves and causes more misery and
distress than any other feature Of the
business. The man who drinks alone
is very rarely a drunkard. The man
who drinks with a crowd of friends
very often becomes a drunkard.
We wish the German system could be
inaugurated in this country the sys-
tenn that forbids treating. A party of
Germans will sit in a beer garden for
hours on end. When one of them
wants a glass of beer he orders it. 1t
never occurs TO him to ask the others
at the table 20 drink at his expense.
Every other member of the party is
buving such beer as he wants. When
the crowd gets ready to go home the
individuals pay for what they them
selves have had and all are good
friends. Better. they go home sober.
Hospitality is a very good thing. but
even hospitality can be carried to
| grave excesses in the drinking line
one does not press the guests in one
home TO drink more intoxieants thar
are good for them, if it be granted that
intoxicants are ever good for any
one. The same rule should apply out
side the home. Some states, we believe
have laws against treating. 1t mlghI
/ not be a bad plan TO try one here.
