took place last night at the initial
banquet of the local organization
called "The Brotherhood Of Saint
Paul" This organization is the
leading one for men In the Methodist
church, and while 1t belongs to the
church work, It has a constitution
liberal enough so that men who have
desire to live for the good OF 9TH
ers in a general way not being mem
bers of the church. or perhaps any
church, can take part and become
members in regular standing.
There were over 100 out to the
banquet. 1t was for the members of
the Ladies' Aid society of the church
and given by the members Of the
Brotherhood, but husbands Of the la
dies were invited and the wives of
the members of the organization. A
short program was given preceding
the banquet and toasts were called
for and responses made.

That the long arm of the law
though sometimes slow, is deadly il
its persistency, is shown in the case
of Warren stephens now under ar.

Walla yesterday upon instructions
sent out by Sheriff Taylor and the
sheriff left on the 1926 train this
afternoon to get his man.,
In the summer Of 1904 Stephens
was charged in the circuit court with
the crime of horsestealing and the par
ticular accusations against him were
that he stole 10 or 12 head of horses
belonging to Charles Barber and
Frank Hanna.
stephens was arrested by Sheriff
Taylor and was arraigned before
Judge Ellis. He plead not guilty and
while waiting for trial was liberated
upon giving a 5000 cash bail. But

All the panorama OF human industry
is theirs. All the magic of planting,
terminating, growing and ripening
crops is theirs. They imbibe from
these mysteries, from these processes
OF nature a simplicity and a power
and sturdy character which make
them kings in their domain.
There is more independence and
liberty and self reliance in one Una
tilla farmer, no matter how small mis-
holdings, than there is in the entire
royal family of England. There is
more genuine life. more of the hu-
man thrill and human touch in
square mile of Umatilla county's
matchless farming districts than in the
