here received a letter from the post
master at Wallula which had been three
days in transmission. Saturdays Port
land papers did not reach Walla Walla
until yesterday. Until the weather con-
ditions settle, however, there can be no
remedy for this.
There has been considerable dissat
isfaction expressed over the fact that
there has been delays in the receipt of
Dayton mail. This has been altogether
due, Postmaster Brunton says, to the
irregularity of the train service. The
afternoon train from Dayton has, in a
great many cases, arrived so late that
it was impossible to take the mail to
the local office, and instead it was Civ
en- to the clerk on the Pendleton- Wal
lula route, who would bring it back in
the morning. This will be 7obviated,
however. by the installation of the new
service or the Northern Pacific.

THE GOSPEL TRIED

From large chart, c. H Hilton pre-
scented the above subject last night al

evangelist said:
Many people misunderstood the
gospel because they do not give il
systematic study There is a divine
side to be presented and human side
also. But tonight we bring you three
very important matters: FIRST
there are theffacts of the gospel. They
are the death, burial and resurrection
of Christ. Now facts are to be be-
lieved as we show you from the word
of God Second, We have the COM
mands of the gospel. These are faith
in Christ, repentance from sin and bap-
tism in his name. These are to be
obeyed. This we also show from the
sacred writing. Third, there are the
promises of the gospel. There are the
forgiveness of sin. the gift of the Holy
Spirit, and the eternal inheritance
These promises are to be received
