The Sunday School Convention

The Sunday School Convention
The Day County Sunday School Con-
vontion held at Bristol was attended by
the delegations Of the Congregational
and Methodist Sunday schools from
this place. They report good attend
ance and a highly instructive program.
There was much that was presented in
the several papers. Lectures and
impromptu talks be put into prac-
tice in the Sunday school work of our
local institutions.
The surprising fact was brought out
that So to 80 per cent of the new men,
bers of these churches of the state hav-
ing Sunday schools came from these
schools, and that but 10 per cent of the
effort of church workers is directed
toward the child and the 80 per cent of
efforts is spent on the adult.
The papers by Mrs. Norton and Miss
Fortune were of particular interest and
the talks by Reverend Morriston and
Alexander Ross much appreciated.
State Secretary Rev. Leach was pres
ent and brought good reports of Sunday
school effort throughout the balance of
the state.
VIM. Carpenter was elected president
for the ensuing year, Alexander Ross,
vice president, and l. S. Coombs, sec
rotary. Webster was chosen as the
place of meeting for the coming year.
Convention will be some time in late
August or early September 1912.

May Explain Presence of
Surveying Corps Near
StanfieId.
WOULD MEAN NO CUTOFF
Reported That Railroad Company Has
Information That West Extension
Will Be Completed, Making Coyote
Echo Line Impractical.

Explaining the activity of the rail-
road surveyors near Stanfield is a
new theory for which its sponsors
claim to have reliable information
pany will straighten and improve its
present tracks from Stanfield to Una
tilla and will abandon the proposed
Coyote Echo cutoff This 1t Is ex-
planned, must be the result of sub
terranean information which the
company has received from the gov
ernment to the effect that the west
extension to the Umatilla project
will be ordered, just converting the
meadows above Stanfeld into a lake
and making impract cable the cutoff.
A wei known attorney of this city
stated this morning that he had pos
tive information from a man who
had seen the company's plans and
who had talked with the company
surveyors at Stanfield that a survey
had been completed from Stanfield
to Umatila preparatory to the i'm
provement of the present roadbed.
The plan, he declares contemplates
reduc ing the large curve between
Stanfleld and Hermiston by cutting
through portion of the hill interven-
ing and in making a fill to grade level
in the swale just this side of Hermis-
ton.
Other men more or less familiar
with conditions in the west end are
not so sure that the Improvement of
the Stanfield-U -Umatilla stretch would
necessarily mean that the plans for
a cutoff have been abandoned. f. p,
Doad president of the Hermiston
Commercial club, Is one of these. He
suggests that. inasmuch as the pres
ent line would be kept in the event
of n cut off and used as a part OF the
double tracking system between Port
land and Pendleton contemplated by
the railroad company, the company
would naturally wish to improve 1t in
order TO make the running time bet
ter and he thinks 1t probable that
the company has this In mind IL it IS
seriously considering such improve
ment.

OYNAMIT< ,OT REVEALED
AIlegc & lacy to Destroy Mills at
oneshen, Penn.

p fg, Pa, Dec. 26-POlice au-
thor. at Moneshen, a midtown
near mere, are investigating what they
declare is a gigantic plot to destroy
the mills, in which eight thousand
men and women are employed at tina,
place, following the arrest of George
Bridges, who was found acting sus-
piciously with a suit case containing
~ sticks Of dynamite.
All employees at the mills are nom
unionists and recently sought to per-
suade the companies to increase the
wages of the employees, but with no
success.
The American Federation of Labor
took up the fight, in behalf of the
-unionists, it is claimed, and ap-
propriated a large amount of money
to aid the mill workers in their ef-
forts for higher wages.
Bridges was today sweated by de-
tectives, but refused to throw any
light on the alleged conspiracy or
state where he secured the explosive.
He tried to create the impression that
he had unwittingly become possessed
or it while drunk.

Christmas business was good in
Pendleton this year, despite the gem
eral dullness that has been noticeable
for many months in commercial lines

shelves today tell the story of the fl

enjoyed, though there are some who
do not rejoice so much.

doors unlocked for the two young

cation showed burnt matches on the
floors in several rooms.
Their first impression was that they
had been the victims of some practi-
cal joker among their friends, but
upon discovery of the burnt matches

had visited them. Upon the return

the Earls, it was discovered that the
marauder had also taken an over

The officers were at once notified
and furnished with a description of
the stolen property. Messages We're
sent over the wires to other towns
and cities with the result that La

his arrest, he was wearing the stolen

plunder except the silverware which

such plants are from lines carried by
dealers who do not make an active
