Continued from last week.
Now when God told Adam that
the day he partook of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil that
he should surely die, did God
keep his word? or did he pass it
oy like parents do of today, pre-
tend not to notice it? You will
say he kept his word, and the
Man Adam died in the same day
he was formed. thus the sentance
Of death passed upon all men.
If God pronounces a death
sentance against you would YOU
not except it as a curse? ] think
you would. Because there is

God.
Some try to make it appear
That 1T was an Apple or Peach,
did you ever know of a tree of
that kind to have knowledge? Of
course you will most imphatical.
ly will say no. So We must look
IN a different direction to find
the tree that carried the fruit
that was forbidden.
We understand by the scrip.
lures that men were called trees
for an explanation of this fact
we will go to Judges SO, where
we read;
The trees went forth on a
time to anoiut a king over them.
and they said unto the Olive tree
reign thou over u.s. So you
see this scripture is positive
proof that God called people trees
then and at different times Paul
also called people trees, the Is
raelites the good olive tree, and
the Gentiles the wild olive tree:
in this language.
IF thou vert cut out of the
olive tree which is wild by ma
ture and grated contrary to ma
ture into good olive tree How
much more shall these which be
the natural branches be grated
into their own olive tree. Rom.
11-24,
Now we have proven that peo-
pie were called trees; now we
will try to show you that there

Now Bro Chambers l presume
that you have perceived the right
moveing back to where itbelongs
you have noticed in Eek 28'3
that there is one special one
spoken Of who was wiser than
Daniel thatno secret could be
kept from him, this man without
any doubt was the tree Of the
knowledge of good and evil, and
this tree was the tree that bore
the forbidden fruit and gave to
Eve the accurscd or abonimable
thing. God said to the formed
man Adam inrega"d to this tree
In the day thou eat thereof thou
shalt surely die.
Not withstand all this he did
eat and in so doing he made a
covenent with death, and an a.
greement with hell, what greater
curse could be pronounced upon
man.
Now Bro. Cham 3rs do you
think that God would have placed
such curse upon Adam and his
posterity for his wife (Eve) taste
ing of the peach or eating an ap.
pie now I will ask you TO read.
And it came to pass, when
men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters
were born unto them.
That the sons of God saw the
daughters CT men that they were
fair; and they took them wives
of all which they chose.
And the Lord said, My spirit
shall not always strive with m an
for that he also is flesh: yet his
days shall be an hundred and
twenty years.
There we're giants in the earth
in those days; and also after
that, WHEN the sons of God came
in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them,
the same became mighty men
which we're of old, men Of re-
nown.
q. And God saw that the wicK-
edness of man vas great in the
earth, and that every magma
ton of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually.
And it repented the Lord that
be had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him at his heart"
Gen. 6 Il to g.
You cannot help but see by
the above scriptures that it was
the cursed thing for the sons OF
God to mingle in marriage with
the daughters Of men you can.
not help but see that this was
the forbidden fruit and death
followed.

FRENCH GUNS FOR RUSSIA.
Cars Mechanics Unable to Make
Heavy Ordinance. Contracts Let.

The incompetence OF Russian po-
litical departments is once more DEM
onstrated by the situation in the ma
val shipyards that has led to the ap-
pointment of a special commission.
For even Russian jingoes have had
to admit that If the fleet is to be re-
stored with any speed the work can
not be done in Russia.
They have tried to build entirely
Russian ships. The Duma declared
they were to be built in Russia, with
Russian material, so the navy de-
partment ordered four new Dread
noughts from a Scotch firm on the
condition that the Scotchmen brought
their experts to the mouth of the Neva
to teach the Russian mechanics.
The work was begun several
months ago, but it has progressed
with the slowest speed because there
were not enough Scotchmen and they
found the Russians practically useless
AS the rapid construction of the fleet
is regarded as of paramount import.
ance the navy department has decid.
ed to ignore the Dumas demand fol
Russian manufacture, and so a biz
order for heavy guns has just gone t.
the Creusot Works in France.

dleton, Baker City and La Grande.
This plan has several decided advan-
tages and seems to meet with the ap-
proval of nearly all of the teachers.
Each county helps inbearin the ex-
penses of the meeting, thus making a
much larger fund with which to en-
ploy speakers, and assuring a strong
er program. The expense to the
teachers is slightly greater for rail-
road fare, but this is about offset by
the pleasure of taking trip to an
other county, and thus becoming bet
ter acquainted with the state. We
have always had quite a good bal
ance left in our institute fund after
the expenses were paid. and have
used this in improving our local in
stitutes.
School Taxes.
After trying for several years to
persuade our county court to increase
the levy for the county school fund to
more than seven dollars per capita,
which is the smallect levy that is al
lowed by law, / succeeded last Janu-
airy, with the help of several com.
mercial associations. many school dis
trict officers. and some Of the heavy
tax payers, in having the levy in
cI eased from seven dollars, to ten dol
lars per capita. Although this in.
creased our county school fund nearl,
! twenty thousand dollars, there wa:
no objection on the part of the ta2
payers. This action of the county
court gave practically universal salts
| faction, and it is probable that the
next levy will be made at the rate OF
ten dollars per capita.
There is no uniformity in the size
or wealth of the school districts OF
not have one-fourth as much taxable
property, as an adjoining district, anC
yet their expenses may be the same
Thus if a one-mill special tax wer,
sufficient in the wealthier district, the
poorer district would have to levy {
four-mill tax.
An increase in the county levy al
lows a corresponding decrease in th'
special district levies, and secures &
greater uniformity in the payment o.
taxes. Then. too, there are some dis
tricts in the county that never vote {
| special district tax. They depend en-
| tirely upon the state and county fund!
and when this money is exhausted the
school closes. These schools are be-
| ing benefited by the increase in the
county school fund. 1t has come tC
my notice that at least three small
districts that were allowed to lapse
will have school again this year. They
will have enough money to run theil
! school for six months, and this they
| intend to do.
Our Needs.
| We are greatly in need of trained
, teachers. The supply Of teachers o.
any kind is not sufficient to fill oul
schools, and about one-third Of th'
teachers employed in this county each
year, never taught here before, ant
many of them in fact, never taugh
anywhere before. The lack of a suf
ficient number of trained teachers Il
a great hindrance to our schools, ant
/ is, believe a much more serious thinl
than many persons realize.
The want of trained teachers, anC
the lack of close supervision, in al
Of our schools except those Of thu
large cities are two very serious prob

COUNTY SCHOOLS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
SUPERINTENDENT GIVES
BIENNIAL REPORT
Past Two Years Results i'm Better
School Buildings, Higher Salaried
Teachers and Better Conditions
Generally.

In his biennial report to the state
department of public instruction
which has just been made, County
school Superintendent Frank K.
Welles shows the progress which has
been made by the schools in this
county during the past two years, in
growth. efficiency and improvements
in various departments. In conclu-
sion he also calls attention to the cry
ing needs which are felt in this COM
munity
This report will be included in the
general report which State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Acker-
man will make to the legislature at
the approaching session. 1t follows
in full:
In looking over the progress made
by the public schools of Umatilla
county since my last report. two
years ago, I am very much encour-
aged. / believe that our schools are
really making substantial progress.
There has been an increase each year
in the number of months of school
taught. District officers are becom-
ing more particular about whom
they employ as teachers. They are
paying better salaries. and are try
ing to get better teachers.
The number of our eighth grade
graduates has increased fifty per cent
in the last two years, and we have had
corresponding increase in the num-
Der of high schools that have been es-
tablished.
There seems to be a gradual change
of sentiment in regard to the school
laws. The expression, 80, yes, I know
it Is the law-but-" is not heard so
often as II used to be. District Off
GERS seem to have more respect for
the school laws, and are making a
greater effort to comply with them.
School Houses.
There has probably never before
been a time in the history of Umatil-
la county when so many fine school
houses were being built as now. Sew
en- buildings. costing over $4,000.
have either just been completed or
are in course Of construction. This
means more and better accommoda-
tions for the pupils, but it means
more and better equipment, better
paid teachers, the addition OF high
school courses, and a revival of in.
terest in the schools throughout the
communities where these buildings
are being erected Many Of the old
school houses are being repaired and
new equipment is being added. A
general awakening in these matters
seems to prevail throughout the
county.
