Last fall the Weston normal had an

the Legislature abandoned it in the

dollar to carry out the contracts with

CONTEST CASES AFFECTED.
EntrYman Need Not Seow Grazing
Land Has Been Used.

La Grande-A decision of the Inter-
ior department which means the dis
missal of over 100 contest land cases
on the Umatilla Indian reservation has
been received at the local land office.
The decision was in the case of DAN
iel G. Bowman, and is a reversal of a
former ruling by the Interior depart
ment that an entryman, after showing
his land fit only for grazing purposes,
must also show that the land has
actually been used.
About rs cases have been decided by
the local land Office officials contrary TO
the ruling of the department, and the
recent decision from the secretary of
the interior is a confirmation of the
rulings of the local officials.

Vale Raises Seed Alfalfa.

Vale-Owing to the backwardness
of the spring, the alfalfa crop will be
comparatively light this year in NAL
heur county. However, the seed crop
bids fair to be exceedingly good. This
is a new feature that has been intro
duced into farming within the last two
years, and one that is gaining ground
every year. Heretofore the alfalfa
hay crop has been the major crep in
this part of Oregon, but it has been
found that the soil is better adapted to
the raising of the seed. and that it is
more profitable to cut only one early
crop ana then allow the alfalfa to seed.

Winning the Kingdom.

Through many tribulations," said

the kingdom of God" It was at the.
cost of bitter persecution that these
Christians, won from amongst the
heather in those days of beginnings,
held fast to their new faith. But how
glorious was the result Of such suf-
fering bravely endured, in the lives
strong and noble which came out Of
it.
We live in times as different from
that early period as the modern
threshing machine is from the rude
tribulum. People do not, in our land,
suffer for their religion in the same
way as did the first followers Of
Christ. But it is still true that, only
through discipline, sometimes sharp
and severe, do human lives become
worthy of the kingdom of God. There
may be much in our present lot that

Temperance Notes.

Men in all pursuits of active life,
almost invariably name sobriety as
one of the essentials of highest sue
cess.
An Evansville brewery failed the
other day, the failure being caused, it
is said, by the going dry Of Indiana
counties.
The Washingtonian Movement of
1870 to 1916 did much good, and
some harm that might have been
averted if the church had been as in
telligent on the alcoholic drink ques-
ton as it E to-day.
The people of Nashville, Tenn, are

at the cost of 100000 as a substi-
tutc for the saloons which they got

The cheapest way for those brew
ers to prove that more beer is sold
under prohibition than elsewhere is
to organize q little boom for prohi-
bition themselves. Then folks would
believe.
When one reads the statements of
the brewers as to the amounts OF
good grain. hops, etc. they use in
their manufacturing processes, the
most striking suggestion is that in
making nothing out of something the
brewers do beat all creation.

The Lions That Stopped a Railroad.

They all sat up on guard for some
time; but the only noticeable thing
they saw was what they took to be
two very bright and steady glow.
worms. After events proved that
these could have been nothing else
than the eyes of the man-eaters
steadily watching them all the time
and studying their every movement.
The door from this plat
form was a sliding one on wheels,
which ran very easily on a brass run
ner; and as it was probable not quite
shut, it was an easy matter for the
lion to thrust in a paw and shove 1t
open. But owing to the tilt of the
carriage and to his great extra
weight on the one side, the door slid
to and snapped into the lock the
moment he got his body right in,
thus leaving him shut up with the
three sleeping men in the compart'
ment.-World's Work.

A Growing Social Peril.

No apology is needed for a protest
against the foolish talk that may be
heard in some quarters about a new
relation in the domestic circle, who is
commonly referred to as the @afin-
tty." She Is not mother, sister or
wife, but occupies a vague position
as an interloper in the social order,
whose claims are coming to be recog-
niZed as paramount. Some Of the
talk is inadequately characterized as;
foolish, for 1t is wicked; but for the
greater part it does not proceed to.
action and is mere Stiffness and gush.
In one conspicuous instance, however,
1t has developed into a dissolution OF.
the family and a scandal, consequent
on the complacence of the parties.
concerned. There is always a posi-
bility Of an example, of that kind
commencing itself to men Of erratic
character, who hope that an indul-
gence of their vagrant, fancy may be,
regarded by the public Is excusable. i
1t cannot be too soon or too clearly
shown that the American people,.
especially the Christian public, will
not condone any nonsense of that
kind. It has too high a regard for
purity in domestic life, and will not
tolerate offenses that impair it. The.
war that has bees waged against the
Mormons, who boldly added the afint
ity to the household, proved that
oolygamy was regarded as an offense
against public decency and against
the national conscience. This at
tempt to introduce successives
polygamy is still more odious. be-
aus it involves greater suffering aSd
open shame. That there are cases In
which divorce is justifable cannot be-
denied, but only extreme wrongdoing
or intolerable misery. can be accepted
as valid ground for recourse to the
remedy. The mere desire to get rid
Of a partner who has lost her youth
and charms, and to replace her with,
one who has both, is no such ground.
The evil, however, does not In
many instances proceed SO far. It.
may consist in nothing more than,
the preference for the society Of q.
person, other than the legitimate part
ner. It is in such preference, and
che indulgence in it, that the danger
lies. No one realizes at the beginning
If such an association how rapidly
the passions may develop The nox-
ious weed grows with amazing speed.
and it has the tendency to into1icate
the mind and becloud the reason. The,
warning Of approaching disaster
causes the victim to exclaim: as,
thy servant a dog, that he should do
This thing?"' Yet,he may drift on the
seductive stream until he Is unable to-
avoid doing it. The time comes when
the struggle to do right involves such
! struggle as Christ described as cut
ting off the right hand, Or sacrificing
The right eye; when to give UP is like
rending the very heart. Many have
lost life and the soul itself in ignobly
yielding rather than taking the firm
but painful course. The crisis be-
comes worse than one Of life and.
death, and it is of such a crisis, in it's
incipient stage, that people in society
talk so lightly and fr~ivolously, when
they discuss the subject of the "afln-
