Bouquets for Mayor Lane.

Portland,-Mayor Lane may not
retire in "blaze of glory" as some
of his enemies ironically said he
would, but he can tread a rose leaf
path If he wants to. A delegation
from the w. C. T. u, headed by
Adah Wallace Unruh, called at the
city hall during the council session
this morning and presented DR..
Lane with six huge bouquets of love-
ly blooms as a token of their ZAP
probation for the executives work to
purify the city" "That's an emblem
of purity" remarked Councilman
Baker dryly as the flowers were
handed up to the mayor, "Those
punches ought to be tied with Grape
instead of white ribbon" added
Councilman Willis, referring to the
mayors near retirement "Well, If
we may be permitted to speak," eX-
claimed one of the visiting delega-
ton, that's just what we intend
those flowers for. They are an EN-
blem of the purity with which the
mayor has at all times attempted to
conduct his administration. only
hope it will continue to be admins
tered as WELL" Mayor Lane checked
an incipient burst of applause by ris-
ing and thanking the ladies for their
gift. He seemed greatly pleased at
the mark of appreciation shown him.

clare they will harvest only about a

against the weed has been taken up.
In Spokane the board of public
works is ordering property owners to
cut the mustard under penalty. 1t is
declared the mustard was imported
several years ago in seed wheat

ginning to fear lack Of help during
the harvesting and threshing this

Judge James a. Fee of Pendleton, sat
as the court.
In this case in which the Peacock
Mill company is endeavoring to cur
tail the water used by the property
owners in this end of the Walla Wala
valley has become notorious. More
than so days has been consumed in
taking testimony the sittings of the
court extending over period of two
years. Although plaintiffs appeared
to put up a hard fight in the begin
ming of the suit it is generally con-
seeded that interest on their part has
waned considerably since the suit COM
menced The outcome of the present
trial at first was expected to be sig
nificant but as the testimony is taken,
interest has somewhat subsded, and
the individual property owners at least
appear to have no fear as to the con-
fiscation of their rights to the water
in dispute.

BIGGER THAN EVER THIS YEAR.
The Commentary for 1909, a Book
Worthy of Note, Has surpassed
All Former Efforts.

Among the recent achievements of
the Negro publishing concerns estab-

different denominations of the race
is the National Baptist Sunday
School Lesson Commentary, a book,
treatise, a complete exegesis, on the

Sunday-school lessons for 1909, pub
lished by the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board, at Nashville, Tenn.
The book this year contains over four
hundred pages and is easily the SUI
perior of any of it's predecessors. The
book is in it's fifth volume, and 1t
seems that the Baptist Publishing
Board doubled it's energy this year
in its effort to make this book just
what the Sunday-school superintend-
ent. teachers and advanced scholars
need. a complete, suggestive, illus
trative and comprehensive Common
tary on the Sunday school lessons.
Not only this, but it is evident that
the book is of invaluable service to
the ministers of the Gospel. 1t has
been used more than once to AID IN Che
preparation of sermons because OF
the facts and extra amount of bib
lical research to be found within it's
pages. The book contains a preface,
an article on Sunday-school Methods;
an introduction for each quarter and
an introduction for every lesson, to-
gether with the Exposition. Following
these there come Truths Cleaned
from the Lesson" "Hints for the Pri-
mary Teachers" and an array of
questions upon each lesson. There
are three beautiful colored maps
showing Paul's Journeys. Nearly
every lesson for the year is IL

UNITED STATES SENDS AID.

The United States government has
sent to Italy 100000 to be used in
relieving the misery and suffering of
the victims of earthquake. Before
such awful visitations of disturbed ma
ture, men stand appalled,. But when
they arouse from the first shock, they
rush to the assistance of the unfor-
tunate sufferers with the most liberal
charitableness. Such terrible calami-
ties make the whole world akin. This
country always goes to the rescue with
most liberal and substantial offerings,
whether it's a famine in India, China
or Ireland, or whether the suffering is
in its own borders.
Other countries are contributing
food, medicine, clothing and money,
The situation is grave. However
much may be done and with whatever
dispatch, there still will be untold suf-
fering. 1t will be some time before
anything like stable order or normal
conditions can be restored.
Thousands and thousands of people
are without even any pretense of shell
ter, and that, too, in midwinter. The
work of disposing of the dead, many
hundred of whom remain still buried
under the great mass of debris, must
necessarily be slow, and that increas-
es the chances of pestilence break
ing out that will be more devasting in
its merciless ravages than the earth
quake itself. Those who have acted
on the behalf of this government were
fully aware of such a possibility and
sent the large sum of money to assist
in relieving the situation in every
way
