Government a considerable measure OF

METHoDISTs PLAN CHANGES.
May Reduce Probation Period and
Eliminate Amusement Clause.

That the minimum term of proba-
ton in the Methodist Episcopal
churches should be reduced to three
months and the maximum term be
left to the Judgment of the ministers,
instead of making the time of proba-
ton six months, as provided by the
present probationary system is the
sentiment expressed by Presiding Ell
der U. f. Hawk in a speech at the
meeting of the Spokane Methodist
ministers at the Y. NJ. C. A. building
this forenoon, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
DR.. Hawks address dealt with sub
jects that are to be discussed at the
next general Methodist Episcopal con-
fernce at Baltimore next May. The
subjects included the change of the
probationary system, the support Of
the conference veterans, the time limit
of the pastorate, the elimination OF
paragraph 24S (regarding amuse-
ments of church members,) the cleo
ton of the presiding elders and do
cesan episcopacy
DR.. Hawks, Rev. NJ. H. Marvin Of
Pullman and DR.. Robert Warner Of
Walla Walla, will be ministerial dele
gates to the general conference to be
held at Baltimore.

district is not SO great as It is in 9TH
er sections of the fruit belt, where
the orchards are more exposed.
The fruit growers along the river
are now making some inquiry rela-
tive to facilities that will be afforded
for bringing fruits to the cannery
plant which is being established in
Lewiston. The boats have for years
handled the fruit crop along the river
by affording shipping facilities to Ri
paria. where connection was made
with the railroad, but only In small
quantities, principally for local Lew
iston delivery, has fruit been handled
on the up-river runs. Promptness in
shipping facilities is very important
in the handling of fruit and 1t is very
probable that the new railroad will
be utilized to a great extent this year
by the fruit men in handling ship
ments destined to Lewiston.

WILL BE GOOD PERFORMANCE.
Parish. Priest" Promises to Be u
First Class Attraction.

Pendleton, Mar. editor East
Oregonian. Last night l was per-
mitted to see the rehearsal of THE
Parish Priest and as all people will
do. | was there TO find fault, but
what was my surprise to find Moth
ing to complain of as | had supposed.
Every one. though there is plenty
of time yet. knew their parts and the
rehearsal went as smoothly as real
performance. Occasionally they went
back aftey a line or bit of business,
but had they not done so l should not
have know it was left out. Strange
how very little the audience knows
what is missed in a nights show, but
it is true saying What the eye
don't see the heart don't grieve."
But I'm prepared to say that under
the most careful direction "The Par
ish Priest is receiving and knowing
thOsewho take the part, there will
be no lines or no business no matter
how trifling that will be omitted. I'm
sure every one will see one of the
best performances in years.
1t is a beautiful, up-to-date show,
and with every one adapted to their
parts as they are. will be a treat that
none should overlook Take my word
for it, you'll have a lifelong regret
If you miss seeing "The Parish
Priest" at the oregon, Wednesday,

EASY WAY TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Italian Discovers Method That Is
Cheap and Effective.

Consul d. l. Murphy, of Bordeaux,
forwards the following synopsis from
a French journal on a new method
of preserving eggs, which, he says,
appears to have the double merit Of
cheapness and simplicity. The article
was based upon the experiments of
Doctor Campanini, as reported by
him in the December bulletin issued
ty the Italian minister of agriculture
Doctor Campanini, after reviewing
the various known means Of preserv-
ing eggs-by salt water, lime water
silicate of potash, vaseline, and cold
storage-described his eXperlemnts,
which showed better results than all
others.
His theory is that to preserve eggs
some system must be adopted that
will absolutely prevent the exchange
between the air outside and that inside
the egg-for it is this continual ex-
change that causes putrefaction.
Doctor Campanini selected perfect
ly fresh eggs and covered them with
lard, so as to effectually stop up all
the pores. The shells were thus rem
dered impermeable, the exchange of
air is prevented and, the obstruction
of the pores not permitting the evap-
Grafton of the water, there was no
loss of weight. The whites and yell
lows of the eggs retained their color
perfectly and the taste was not modi-
fled in the slightest degree.
When properly coated with lard
not too thickly-th,e eggs are put in
baskets or boxes upon a bed Of tow
or fine odorless shavings and so ar
ranged that there will be no point of
contact between them-otherwise a
mold will develop and putrefaction
result. The packing room should be
perfectly dry, the question of temper
ature not being important. BY his
process Doctor Campanin kept a
quantity of eggs for whole year
through a very hot summer and a
very cold winter-and they were per-
fectly preserved. He says that 4
cents worth of lard suffices to coat
100 eggs, and that anyone could easily
prepare that number of eggs in one
hours time.
