After six days debate. notable for
the high standard of the orstory as

cleared for division at half past eleven

The scene was impressive, but in. no
sense exciting, except that the house
was packed 10 its utmost capacity. a
great array Of strange faces was seen
on the benches, as numbers of peers
were present who appear in the house
only in most exceptional eases.
All Goes Quietly.
None would have supposed that the

INDORSE PROHIBITION.
Missouri PresbyterianS Meet
Next Year at Fulton.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 29.-After
the Missouri Synod of the Pres
byterIan CHURCH of the United
States adjourned here, the dele
gates met as convention of citi-
zens and by vote of 43 to 5, in
dorsed the movement for a State
wide prohibition amendment to the
Constitution of Missouri.
Judge William II. Wallace, who
is at the head of the movement,
was strongly indorsed also. The
synod. sitting as a court of Jesus
Christ, yesterday refused to indorse
the Statewide prohibition move
ment. Those strongest in oppOsi-
ton to such Endorsement TO day
gave as their reason that the church
forbids a church court from deal
ing with any civil matter.
Fulton, Mo, was selected as the
place of holding the synod, ON the
fourth Tuesday of next October.

Rev. II. l. Cobb's ''Circuit Rid
er" contained the following item
this week: Our honey friend, !"
j. Hord Davis, will soon be a
bloated king of finance; be has 40
head Of as fine, 400 h., fat steers
as we have ever seen. He also has
a car of fine yearlings, and 55 head
Of fat hogs. He is one of the
most successful feeders we know.
He is feeding for the December
market.
Byron Mcfarland, farmer near
Monroe City, told of the profit de-
rived from using commercial fer
tilizer on corn, even when the
corn is raised on clover land. He
used 100 pounds of dissolved bone
to the acre. The fertilized corn
made A bushels to the acre The
unfertilized made 80 bushels. The
difference is nine bushels TO the
acre. An increase of two bushels
pays for the fertilizer. The extra
Z bushels to each acre is pure pro-
fit.
Qroted from the Live Stock Re-
porter: "While we have Il pretty
good crop of corn in my immediate
neighborhood other sections not
far away have a very poor crop. "
remarked G.. II. Inflow, a prOmi-
nent stockman and regular patron
of this market from Audrain coun-
ty, Mo-, while on the market yes
terday with load of butcher cat
tie. so far there is not great
many cattle on feed but | think
the number will be about as large
as usual before the winter is over.
We are short on hogs and / am
sure they will be scarce all winter
and that they will bring good
prices. The very fact that they
are not able to break the market
now is proof that hogs will be
high for a good while yet. There
were too many brood sows sent to
market last winter. Corn was
scarce and high aud it looks like
every body took notion to sell off
their brood sows and now when
they want pigs they have not got
them. We sowed Il good acreage
of wheat this fall and it is looking
extra good. We sow great deal
more wheat in my locality than we
did few years ago and it is prov
ing to be a good crop with u.s."

the Puget Sound territory.
AS one passes through Oregon,
over the Oregon Short Line, down
the Columbia River. the scenery
is beyond description. A strong
er superlative than the word grand
is needed to describe the scene
through which one passes. The
road hugs the river much the same
as the Missouri Pacific follows the
Missouri river, but the scenery is
different. Sparkling falls dancing
down the side of some tall cliff, re.
fecting the rainbow on the neigh
boring cleft; the dizzy heights, the
mighty hanging rocks, and the snow
capped peaks looming in the dis
tance, are sights not soon to be for
gotten.
But as one approaches Portland
the mountains retrograde into little
scraggy foothills, covered with a
scruby growth of trees. Even the
lofty frs of which we had caught
ftful glances farther back are few
and far between.
AS for the city itself, / would
class it as an overgrown country
town just awakened to its posi-.
bilities. Awakened probably by
the money kings of the East who
have chosen it as the business out
let of this great territory.
Portland claims the title of "The
City of Roses" Last June-and
in fatt every summer, they hold a
rose carnival which would be
credit to almost any city.
The erstwhile dormant city seem
ed suddenly awakened into a SEN
tient being, aroused, it seemed, by
the spirit of the roses. There were
roses everywhere, with red roses
predominating, but there was an
opulence of yellow and white as
we'll, and in that riot of color, sug-
gestive of passion, the white roses,
the modest little maidens Of the
garden, established harmony where
without them all would have been
turbulence. There was an electric
parade, something similar to the
veiled prophet parade in st. Louis
and also an automobile parade,
but as they were bedecked with
roses that was really part of the
flower parade.
This is a rough and broken
country but the soil seems to be
very fertile, Farming is conduct
ed on the intensive plan, each
farmer owning only a few acres
which he handles with extreme
care.
| often wonder how it happens
that in this new and undeveloped
they should employ old world
methods of farming, almost making

try districts while in the older

to customs would perhaps not be
