SERMON IS
A DRAMATIC
Portrayal Of Paul's Trial is
Given by Evangelist
Abberley.

The big revival at the Central
Christian church goes grandly on,
and as this is the last week of tbs
|services. the interest is intense.
Another big audience heard Evan
gelist Ahberley last night on "Paul
BEFORE King Agrippa.'i
The sermon was dramatic por-
|trayal OF the great. scene of Panl's
famous trial and the Roman Govern
or Festus. and Paul's great,speech in
which he describes his conversion
and call to the apostleshlp when
Christ appeared to him as a perse-
Icntor on the Damascus road. 1t was
one of the most interesting word
pictures given by this gifted evangel-
list since coming to Clarksburg. The
climax of the sermon was on King
Agrippa's words: Almost Thou per-
suadest Ne to Be Christian" and
the evangelist pleaded with all not
to be almost but altogether won to
God.
AT the invitation two ladies and a
gentleman went forward. Two per-
sons were immersed at the close of
the service.
The revival will close Friday night
when DIR. Ahberley will give a stere-
opticon lecture on "a Trip Through
the British Isles. tomorrow night
the subject will be: Shall We
Know Our Friends in Heaven?" TO-
night the evangelist speaks on "The
objectionable Sin Against the Holy
Spirit, aud Can 1T BE Comm TED III; IA
+day?"

REMINDS HIM OF MINNEAPOLIS.
Michigan Capitalist Comments on Our
Power Resources.

American Falls reminds me of Min
neapolis the first time l saw it, " said
G. w. Middleton, Michigan capitalist
to the Press Monday, and you have
every advantage that Minneapolis had,
and just as good chances to make city.
Your power resources alone will do this.
With the development of this section
will come greater demand for your
power, and you will follow in the wake
of other places which have power in
abundance. Minneapolis was a village
when first saw it, and the country
new and undeveloped. tits now pros
porous city, and it's power has been the
greatest factor in it's upbuilding."
Mr.. Middleton has extensive interests
in. Oregon, Washington and California,
and is on his way to look after them
He is interested in one of the largest
lumber mills at Aberdeen, Washington,
which is supplying millions of feet per
month to Australian markets. He is
also interested in large cement works
in that state. Regarding cement, he
says it is the coming building material.
When he became interested in this in
dustry there were four factories in the
West. There are twenty-seven now,
and the demand is greater than the
supply. In Michigan he says cement
has vastly increased the power resources
which are more valuable than the tim
ber ever was. The power is increased
by the raising of dams to a greater
height than was possible with lumber.
On his return Mr.. Middleton should be
made acquainted with our deposits of
cement clay, with view to their de-
velopment.

ONEIDA COUNTY
HAS GONE DRY
Commissioners viii Grant No
Liquor Licenses.
Oneida is First Prohibition County N
Idaho Commissioner Unanimous
in Decision to Close Saloons
as Licenses Expire.

The commissioners of Oneida county
have gotten ahead of the legislature
and decreed prohibition for the coming
two years. They have decided to issue
no saloon licenses, and as fast as licenses
expire the saloons will be closed
Oneida gains the distinction of being
the first prohibition county in the
state. The commissioners have taken
advantage of the law giving them dis
cretionary powers, and regardless of
action by the legislature this county will
be dry so long as the present members
of the board are in office, unless the
court decides that the board has ex-
ceeded its authority.
While nothing has appeared on the
surface it is believed the liquor interests
are taking steps to invoke the law to
compel the issuance of licenses. Should
this be done temperance people will rally
in defence OF the commissioners and
contribute toward securing counsel to
assist in defending the commissioners,
with view of securing decision from
the highest court in the land.
AS a result of the action of the COM
missioners two saloons in Preston have
been closed and the last license expires
in about six months. The licenses of
the two saloons here expire about the
first of April, and the license of the
Rockland saloon has either expired or
will in the near future. Every saloon
in Malad valley is closed, and the only
saloons in the county are at American
Falls and Preston, with the possible ex-
ception of Rockland.

Farmers Institute on Wheels.

Professor French, director of the ex-
pertinent station of the University of
Idaho, has completed arrangements for
an institute train over the Short Line.
The schedule will be announced shortly.
American Falls will be one of the pla-
ces visited, and it is possible that dry
farming will be added to the regular
intsitute course at this point. Two
cars, one for lecture purposes and one
for exhibits, constitute the equipment.
Among the exhibits will be a milking
apparatus and machinery.
The idea of an institute train was
conceived by the Oregon Short Line,
and it was started from Salt Lake City
some time ago. 1t proved so popular
that other roads sought it, and it will
be run over every line in Utah before
coming to Idaho. 1t will stop wherever
crowds can be secured. Due notice of
its arrival will be given.

BIG FILL NOT WASHED OUT.
Damages to Canal System From Flood
Not so Bad as reported,

The Press is pleased to announce that
the damages to the canal system, re-
sulting from the flood, is not so serious
as announced last week. The big fill
did not go out, and while there are a
large number of breaks in the canal
most of them are small The washing
out of the Livingston fill, west of Aber-
deem, is the most serious, and it's repair
will require some time and considerable
expense. The damage done is variously
estimated at from $5,0 to $25, 900.
The latter figure is probably very ex-
cessive, and the former may be a little
low. The breaks are not such, we'll in
formed men say, as will prevent the
delivery of water on time if the COM
pany is reasonably industrious in max
ing repairs.

Pretty Wedding at Rockland.

A very pretty wedding took place
here Friday afternoon, January Is, at
the home of Mrs. H. D. Lish, when her
youngest daughter Elda was married to
Wilson Ellis of Ellis, Idaho. About II
O'Clock the guests began to arrive at
Mrs. Lish's pretty little home bringing
useful and appropriate gifts. At 2:30
the bride and groom took their places
with Miss Lula Lish acting as brides
maid and Andrew Lish as groomsman.
Bishop Andrew May performed the
ceremony. Congratulations were ex-
tended.
The bride was becomingly gowned in
white albatross trimmed with white
lace and looked very pretty. The
only thing to mar the pleasure of this
occasion was the fact that Mrs. Lish,
the brides mother, was confined to her
bed with an attack of la grippe.
Mr.. Ellis is thrifty young farmer of
Pahsamari valley of Custer county and
is noted for his exemplary character
and industrious habits. The bride is a
young lady of warmhearted disposition,
and has many friends who will miss her
cheerful presence. Sunday they left
for Mr. Ellis home where a wedding
reception awaited them.

]. F. Kosanke Married.

j. F. Kosanlse, one of our enterpris-
ing citizens who came from Odessa,
Washington, some time ago, and has
been visiting in Washington for the
past six weeks, returned to American
Falls Tuesday night wearing an un-
usually broad smile, and bringing with
him a young lady and gentleman.
When asked the cause of his extraordi-
nary smile, he said: Gottlieb Knopp of
South Dakota, came back with me to
look over the country around American
Falls. If he likes it here his father
and family, company of about fifteen
persons, will Immediately sell all their
interests in South Dakota and come
here to live. Of course we're glad to
hear the story, but thought Mr..
Kosanlze had more to tell. By further
we found that the young
lady with him was Mrs. j. F. Kosanke,
formerly Miss Mary Romple of Odessa,
whom Mr.. Kosanke had welded while
visiting there. The happy couple say
that American Falls is to be their future
home.
The Press voices the sentiment of the
people of this place in wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Kosanke bright and happy future.

WILL ERECT NEW BUILDING.
c. F. Schmidt Plans New Structure
Adjoining Auditorium.

By an agreement with Proprietor
G. R. Georgeson this morning, Messrs
Phil F. Mcdonald, Hugh McKinnon
and K. N. Dewar will about the first of
March assume the management of the
Hotel Grand at Second and C streets.
Because of the unusually good oppor-
tunities in the business line at American
Falls, Idaho, Manager c. F. Schmidt of
the Grand who has been in charge of
the hostelry during the last three years,
has disposed of his unexpired lease of
five years to those who will take the
hotel, and about the 18th OF February
will depart for the north.
For month past Mr.. Schmidt has
been crippled and forced to go about on
crutches because of a sprained leg.
For this reason he will not leave Eureka
until next month. On his arrival in
American Falls he will commence plans
for the erection of cement block on
his property there, and a family resi-
dence. The Schmidt family will not
leave Eureka until sometime between
the 1st and 18th of next May.
