for a dismissal of the case against
them on the ground of immunity.
The defendants argued that by their
answers in the civil suit at Baltimore
they are entitled to immunity. The
government argued that the answers
made in the equity court at Balti-
more are merely the filing OF plead
ing, giving the defense an opportun-
ity to define and limit the Issues as
they wish them to appear before the
court.

PINE GROVE GRANGE
SETS LYCEUM DATES

The management of the Pine Grove
Grange Lyceum course, which will
present to the public this winter six
unusually good attractions, has an
nounced dates for all except one of the
entertainments. The manager of the
Pacific Lyceum Course, from whom
the Pine Grove management has Sc
cured the attractions, was here last
week to confer with the Grange and
arrange the dates. He states that the
numbers chosen for local playgoers
have filled their dates. Indeed, he
endeavored to substitute less popular
performers for some of the better
companies, in order that he might
book them in larger cities, which are
clalnoring for them.
The dates for the shows are given as
follows:
The Amsbary Recital Company, Sat
urday, October IA.
The Winifred Townsend Company,
Thursday, October 26.
The Columbian Quartet, Thursday,
November l6.
Joseffy, Necromancer, Wednesday,
November ~.
The Beilharz Entertainers, Monday,
Mach IL.
No date has been set for Pitt Par
ker. the crayon wizard.
The performances will be held in
the Pine Grove Hall, which has been
thoroughly overhauled and which
makes one of the prettiest playhouses
in the Valley.

A Sunday Sermon.

Wherefore my beloved brethren let
every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath. James l :l9.
Many distressing disturbances and
incidents that go to make up much OF
the unpleasantness of life are due to
hasty words and to impetuous wrath.
In fact good deal of the latter which
is developed in the world is due to the
former. The power of speech is
wonderful blessing which GOD has con-
ferred upon human beings, but it can
be abused just as il is possible to mis-.
use the other blessings of mankind
It's perversion is to be found in the
Incorporate and ill-advised language
which many are all too prone to in
dulge in on every variety of occasion.
After harsh word has been spoken,
it cannot be recalled. 1t may be apol-
ogized for and willingness displayed
to withdraw it, but the sting that 1t
carried with it loses none of its force
and sharpens even if the individuals at
whom it was aimed or about whom it
was given. is perfectly willing to
ignore it. or generous enough to say
or make to believe that this is so.
OF course there ara hardly two tenn
peraments among men which are eX-
actly alike. If, indeed, the structure
of human beings as to their bodies and
minds and inherent methods were of
the same mould this would be decided
" an unnteresting world. But there
are a great many temperaments which
are similar in that their possessors are
inclined to be quick to wrath. In fact
this failing is more general than other
wise. 1t is the cause of quarrels and
disputes between persons of more or
less intensity, but not the less dis
agreeable no matter how slight they
are.
There is consolation. though, in the
thought of knowledge that with the
exercise of a little care and caution
such shortcomings as these may be
overcome, or may be reduced to min
imum. This is possible through a
proper appreciation of the rights OF
others and their rights to their owr
opinions on all things. There should
be a careful weighing of all words ano
thoughts before they are uttered. This
is no easy task, to be sure, but the
results that are sure to be accom-.
plished will be more than worth the
effort that have been expended tC
bring them about. AS Solomon says
in one sof his Proverbs "He that is
slow to wrath is ,of great understand
ing; but he that is hasty of spirit
exalteth folly"

Testimony Taken in Boundary Case.

The case of the late Peter D. Hin
richs VS.. Geo. w. Brown and Mary E.
Galligan, which involves the location
of boundary between the farms of the
contestants which has been in dispute
since the year of 1885, was brought
before the Circuit Court at its session
here last week and testimony heard
from Surveyors Sharp and Colt, of
The Dalles, and Judge John Leland
Henderson, the latter by deposition.
A number of the old residents of the
community also testified in respect to
the boundary.
Although in dispute for 26 years, the
strip of land involved in the case is
only about 30 feet wide and 100 yards
long. The plaintiff was represented
by Attorney w. H. Wilson, of The
Dalles, while Attorney Geo. R. Wilbur
represented the defendant. Because
of the fact that it was found that tes-
timony from witnesses now out of the
country, one in South Dakota and an
other in Portland, the case was de-
ferred until the October term of court.

HIGH TEMPERATURE
PAST TWO MONTHS

w. l.. Powers, the weather expert at
o. A. c., reports the highest average
temperature the last two months of
any year since 1906. In July the max
imum was 100, and in August 92. This
is only the fourth time in a dozen
years it has been so hot.
In August the highest temperature
was 92, August 27 while the lowest
was 45, August IS, giving a mean
temperature of 65, which is 2 above
normal for this month. The greatest
range in one day was 40 degrees. A
change of 81 degrees in twenty-four
hours was noted in July. on the 23rd.
July 8 it was down to 80, and week
later, July l6, it was up to 100. The
mean for the month was 69.2, or 3.9
above normal.
The large amount of hot, dry weather
in July and strong breezes caused
rapid loss of soil moisture, so that the
moisture content in meadow soil had
reached the drought point, and sod was
badly fired by the middle of the month,
while cultivated crops began to suffer
severely before the end of the month.
The August rainfall was below nor
NAL, being but .02 of an inch. One
year in five, however, Prof. Powers
says, there i; no rain in August, so the
precipitation is not exceptional.

PHONE CO. PROTESTS
COVER ADVERTISING

Manager Porter, of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, of
Baker, was on the warpath last week
as a result of discovery that a couple
of solicitors have worked what he calls
a game on both the telephone company
and the business men who patronized
them, says dispatch.
A short time ago couple of men
approached Baker business men with a
proposition to place ads on cover for
telephone directories. They secured
various sums from eight business
houses for advertising space on the
directory covers.
Mr.. Porter states that the telephone
company owns the directories and that
they are merely loaned to the sub
scribers and that the company has its
own advertisers on the directory and
that in order to protect them it would
remove the new covers from the direc-
tories at once or take away the direc-

RAIN WILL AID
NEXT YEARS CROP

"The heavy rain of last week will
90 far toward insuring goo crop Of
apples for the Hood River Valley next
year" says C. R. Bone, one Of the
Valleys pioneer orchardists. II was
the heaviest early rainfall that have
ever seen for this section of the state
or Eastern Oregon. In 1893, We had
a similar rain, but the precipitation
then was not so great.
''At that time the grain farmers Of
Eastern Oregon handled Their crops
rather Iazily and when the heavy
downpour came, they were all caught.
Except what was threshed. the whole
crop was entirely ruined and with a
single exception, every merchant from
Portland to Spokane went broke. The
rain taught the wheat FARMERS "a
lesson. and since then they have has
tened the harvest of the crop.
"For the past decade the fall season
has grown more erratic. | think that
the clearing Of the timber of the Hood
River Valley has had an effect toward
increasing the summer rains and over
in Central Oregon, the cultivation of
the SOIL has luCIGdcCu thN cNAAitANA PAN'
cipitation.
1.-The soaking showers of last week
will strengthen the fruit spurs. 1t
will take the place of September irri-
cation and will be far more valuable.
With a few more showers and sunshine
and interningling frosts to color the
fruit the present years crop should
mature in excellent condition.
The precipitation for last week was
about four inches. Eight years ago it
was as dry in the middle of September
as it was in the middle of August this
year. Nine years ago the ground was
wet only foot deep OH January 10.
The rain is boon to those planning
early clearing operations. Usually
they have to wait a month or two later
before work can be begun, but this
year the soil is moistened and loosened
until the work may be carried on al
once,
