Newspapers like to discuss subjects
that are uppermost in the thought of
the people who read them This is
especially true of local newspapers of
more or less limited clientele. Today in
Vinita the theme most universally dis
eussed is the Bulgin meetings. The
reason is that DR.. Bulgin is preaching
great sermons to great congregations
in the improvised auditorium at the
Gunter building. The logic of the
preachers discourses nightly is OF the
sort that hits home with accuracy and
the impact could not fail to stir even
n Vinita audience--and Vinita audi
ences are different This community
is the most self-satisfied, and the best
pleased with itself of any community
perhaps that DR.. Bulgip ever preached

him. and had also steeled itself against
any effects that the preaching might
possibly make upon its hard exterior
Pouring water upon ducks back OF
pouring sand into rat hole is gen
orally hopeless aud useless task -
the common acceptance Of the term
But Dr. Bulgin is also different, and
Vinita is about TO wake up to the faci
that the duck is going to get gooc
soaking and the rathole is going to b'
filled. Hence, the discussion Men Y
groups along the streets, families
around the dinner table, knots OF mel
and boys here and there are talkin'
about the meetings. Bulgin is gettin;
Ihold Of vinita and is going TO do
much good. surely no harm for he's

the members of their several churches,
but has pleased the townspeople at
large. Each one of them has dis

lar line.
Rev. ]. NJ. Miller ofNthe Christian
church has proved himself a close OBJ

his eagle eye. Mr.. Miller can look out
over congregation of more than
thousand and guess within hundred
/ of the number of people present, and
when the Offering is made can guess
within few dollars of the amount
that will be given. Rev. Miller is not
only good preacher himself but loses
no point of doctrine or interest made
by DR.. Bulgin.
Rev. C. G. Burger, pastor of the Con-
gregational church has made fine inn
pression upon the audiences, by his
quiet dignity and his deep and abiding
Interest in the success of the meet
Iings,
1t is plain to be seen that DR.. Bulgin
regards Mr.. Burger as one of his most
valuable helpers and a man to be de
pended on at every mncture.

ANNUAL REPORT ON MOUNT
RAINIER NATIONAL PARK.

That detailed survey be made with
the object of extending the present
roads around the east and north sides
of Mount Rainier is one of the recon-
mendations made by the superintend-
ent fthe Mount Rainier National Park
in his annual report which has just
been made public by the Department
of the Interior
when the survey is completed,
says Superintendent Hall, work may
be commenced in the northwestern
part of the park, thereby opening up
the beautiful mountain parks on the
north side of the mountain, and in the
southeastern part to make connection
with the road system of Yakima coun-
ty. The park being surrounded on all
sides by the Rainier National forest, it
will be necessary to survey and CON
struct roads through the forest reserve
before parks road can be connected
with county roads outside OF this res
ervation. The road in the park should
be constructed at the lowest practical
elevation, and if all points of interest
can not be reached in this way, branch
roads should be built to them. A COM
plete system of trails is very necessary
and should be given immediate con-
sideration. 4 wire fence similar to the
one being built in Paradise Valley
should be built in Indian Henry's Hunt
ing ground to form pasture for loose
stock in order that it may be kept
from destroying the flora in this noun
tain park. The validity of all mining
locations in the park should be ascer
tanned and those not held in good faith
Cancelled. The main sewer line al
Longmire Springs should be extended
and branch line be constructed t
the camp grounds, so that all sewage
from this and intermediate points may
, enter the main line. A sewer line
