From present indications the sugar
beet culture will be given a good
test in the valley this coming sea
son. A number of public spirited
land owners have offered land and
water at a low rental in order to
have the test made. This is COM
mendable on their part and it is we'll
for the valley. There has been
some conflict of testimony whether
sugar beet culture was good for a
community or not. The way to
settle 1t, is by a thorough test.
That will be male.

COMMUNICATIONS.
STATE BAcTERIOLOGIS
SAYS 1T WAS DlPHTHERIA

Enterprise, FEB. 6.-CTo the Edi-
tor viii you kindly publish the
following on behalf of justice and
fair play: There has been consid-
cradle discussion pro and con over
the cases of diphtheria reported by
myself. The Wallowa Sun, issue of
January l, published an article which
casts reflections upon me and which
questions my ability as a diagnosti-
clan. In reply to the above l wish to
offer a few remarks in explanation.
When called to see Mir. Th1nas
Brady l was unable to reach his
home until after the old gentleman
had passed away, consequently was
unable to get a clinical picture of
lis case. and relying upon the de-
scription furnished me by his family
believed it to be diphtheria. !
then in the presence of a witness
took from Mr.. Brady's throat some
of the secretions for microscopic ex-
animation and established a tenn
porary quarantine. l then in the
presence of the same witness car
ried said secreti0ns sealed up in a
cott'e to my office where l made
a microscopic examination of the
same and found it to be diphtheria.
I then ordered an effectual quar-
antine.
Some two weeks later Mr.. o. H.
Brady and daughter of this city
came down with diphtheria. l fol
owed out the exact procedure the
same as in Mr.. Thomas Brady's case
and quarantined. After Mr.. o. H.
Brady recovered l gave him the
microscopic slides and he sent them
o the State Bacteriologist, DR..
RalIh C. Matson, Portland, Oregon.
The following letter from DR.. Robt.
c. Yenney, state health officer, will
explain as to whether l followed the
roper course in protecting public
health and as to the correctness OF
my diagnosis.
E. T. ANDERSON, NJ. D.

animation of specimen cultures re

The slides upon which these speci
mems were sent were broken in tran
sit through the mail, and should be

ion.

WallOwa.


Praises are sung o some magic land
Pictures are painted by sklfu hand
Telling alike the story,
or suns that shone. and breezes that blew
OF flowers that boomed, and trees that grew;
Or beasts that roamed, and birds that flew
Adding to earth their glory.
Again and again some tiresome tale
OF wandering search, for Holy Grail
Has caused the poets eye to fail
To see the sights that bound us.
Thus in the land which we know SO weH'
Here in walowa where we love TO DWELL
Who has arisen that dared to tell
Of the beautiful world around us?
Listen We then to the lay l sing,
OF the land where every man is king
Where Nature smiles everything;
Never her gifts abating
Search for its equal in distant Cline
Mid ancient verse tresome rhyme
Oh tell the country, place or time,
To the I'm relating.
Up the Columbia's rolling stream,
Up where the mountains rise,
There in a valley, meath sunny skies
Lies the land of the Lapway dream
Mountain encircled on every hand,
Traversed by streams that forever flow
Down from the regions of virgin snow
Was the Chief Joseph Land.
Ages had passed. since moccasned feet
Made the first trail in this valley sublime.
Ages had passed. yet in all of that time,
Never a paeface had this retreat
Here, when the melted high up the slide,
Joseph had gathered about him, his band;
Told them that this forever their land
Home while they lived, and grave when they died.
Brought them fish by the lake.
Deep in whose depths, spotted salmon and trout;
Or from the foot hills the mule deer to rout
And from the swamp land the wild duck to take
Then when the fur had grown long on the bear
Down the mnaha they hastened their way;
Made all the journey in night and day;
Put up their lodges and wintered them there
Once when the trail up the canyon they took
Joseph had halted in horror aghast,
Pointed to footprint of Boston mans last:
Pointed and gazed with incredulous look
Chiefs, point your at the deer;
Set for the malard longer your snare;
XIII not the coyote, the cougar, the bear;
save for the paeace your hammer and spear"
Out from the aders faint curl of smoke
Sends its signal that white men have come

The Beginning of the Christian
Church. Acts ii:22-47.
Golden Text-They continued stead
tasty in the apostles doctrine anC
fellowship, and in breaking of bread
and in prayer.-Acts ii:42.
Verse 22.-How is it that Jesus has
impressed himself upon the world as
no other man has ever done, and that
he has swayed the hearts of the lowly
and the mighty alike, and that his in
tluence is increasing with the years?
Verse 23-36.-God clearly sent Jesus
with love message, which he meant
them to accept, but which the Jews re-
jected; and more, for they "with wicked
hands crucified and slew" him; now is
it not true that God then adopted his
secondary plan of bringing about, by
the death of Jesus what he desired tC
do by his life?
If God did not want the Jews to re-
ject and cruelty Jesus but to accept OF
him, what would have been the result
if they had carried out Gods first plan
Is not the crucifixion of Jesus the
colossal crime of history, and is it not
the one great example of how God
turns evil into good account?
Verse 37.-What was it that had
brought this sharp sense of guilt upon
them?
What are the influences which put
men under conyiction; that is, reveal
themselves to themselves?
If a man should ask you what he
should do to be saved what would you
answer him?
Verse 3S.-What is it to repent in the
sense here meant?
If a person is sorry enough to forsake
his sins and turns to God to serve him
the best he knows, is that true repent
ance?
Can a Christian retain the favor of
God if he ever plans to sin again?

Suggestive Questions the Sunday School Lesson by
The Reverend Dr. Linscott for the
. international Newspaper Bible Study Club

Do all who by the grace of God, for
sake their sins, have their past sins for
given?
Verse 39.-Is the gift of the Holy
Spirit for all who are saved?
Have you received the gift of the
Holy Spirit and if not, why not?
Are all the children of sinners as
well as of saints, promised the saliva
ton of Jesus?
Are there any so far Off or SO low
down, that God does not bid them to
receive the Holy Spirit?
How many does God call to accept
of his salvation?
Verse 40.-Are some people saved
through persistent exhortation, who
never would be saved otherwise?
Verse 4l.-Why are not similar re-
vivals to this more often witnessed?
What can we do more than we are
doing to save our neighbors, and to
save the world? This question must
be answered in writing by members of
the club
Verse ADO Christians today fell
lowship one with another as much, or
as often as they should?
Ought Christians to eat together
more frequently?
Verse 43.-If the terrible conse-
quences of sin were more frequently
preached, would sinners still be filled
with fear.
Verses 44.45.-Was this community
of goods of the Lord?
Would having all things in common
be good system to adopt today?
If our brother has nothing are we
under obligation to divide with him?
Verses 46-47.-W sinners still be
saved daily in every church if there
were fellowship, joy and gladness
among Christians?

BOSTON HAD EASY
T.: TIME WITH QUAKERS

PHILADELPHIA. April 14.-The re-
action at Shibe Park yesterday was just
in proportion to the inspiration. of the
opening day. Boston clearly outplayed
the Athletics and won easily, to 2.
Boston played good ball in every in
lining The Athletics gave a miserable
lexhibition. Just what the ultimate result
would have been had. not Capt. Davis
committed a costly blunder in the third
inning is matter of conjecture. But
the poor defense of the Athletics in no
way detracted from the superb exhibition
lof the visitors. In the field the Boston
men were lively as crickets. fast as
lightning on the bases and took full ad-
vantage of every mistake by the home
team.
In strong contrast to the day previous
yesterday was dark threatening at all
times and in the latter innings raining
sufficiently hard to make the field sticky
and the ball slippery and uncertain to
handle. The unfavorable conditions linn
tied the attendance to handful in stand
and bleachers.
+ Up to the final inning Chech was master
I.of the situation. He did not seem to ex-
ert himself unduly. but he was practi-
cally unhittable. Up to the ninth only
six scattered singles had been accumu-
lated off his delivery and two of these
were of the scratch order. And, in adj
dition. he was as steady as the proven
i bial clock. A pass to Coombs In the fifth
inning was his only lapse in control and
| it cost nothing. He was given fine sup
well-nigh perfect back Of the bat.

SWEET VICTORY FOR
THE BLUE AND GRAY
Defeat Their Old Enemies, Holy
Cross, in an Exciting
Game.

Long hits. sensational plays and
plenty of errors were comprised in the
contest yesterday afternoon. when the
Georgetown team downed it's great ii
val, Holy Cross, by score of to 3.
The credit for winning the game is
practically due to Murphy, the center
fielder of the locals. who out of four
times at the bat connected for two
safe drives, both of which were home
runs over the right field bank. There
were no runners on the bags at che
time, but his hitting kept his team
in the lead. The Blue and Gray team
played fine fielding game. The only
errors were made by Cogan, who was
in new position, at the short field. He
however, redeemed himself when Lar
kin sent short fly back of third base
and he speared 1t with his bare hand
while running backward.
Balzer did the twirling for the locals
and although he kept the seven hits .;
the visitors well scattered he was not
in his best form. Dowd, for the Holy
Cross boys, allowed five hits. but four
of them went to extra bases and count
ed in the run column. :
