Rev, C.. III, Davis.

Rev. c. H. Davis, who is to con-
duct the revival to be held at the
Nazarene church, is a gentleman in
every sense of the word-that is, a
Christian gentleman. He is a man
of experience, having served one
church in the east, as pastor, for
thirteen years, besides other charges,
has done a great deal of evangelistic
work and has been greatly owned
and blessed of God.
We are not ashamed to invite the
public to hear him. His messages
are powerful and convincing. He
knows his theme and breaches with
the Holy Ghost sent down from
heaven, hence it takes hold of the
hearts of men. Don't fail to hear
him.
He will reach us for the Monday
evening service, December 2. We
will have evangelistic services on
Sunday, however. and our united
prayer service is to commence this
Wednesday night, to continue the re-
mainder of the week. Everybody
welcome. ***

TO DREDCE FOR GOLD
Bar Below Gold Hill to Be Scene of
Operations by Huge Craft
Costing $4,000.

Medford, Nov. 26.-Arrangements
have been practically completed for
a new and bigger departure in min
ing operations on Rogue river near
Gold Hill, the site selected being the
big bar just below the Lyman ranch,
and the method of recovery to be a
huge dredge, designed and built ex-
pressly for the purpose by the Suth-
erlin capitalists who are interested
in the venture. These men are j. K.
Moore, H. H. Mclean and c. F.
Reynolds, all of whom have had wide
practical experience in dredging op-
erations, and who will invest from
$4,000 to 100000 in the construc-
tion of the dredge and preparations
for the work.
Mr.. Reynolds, representing the
trio, was in Gold Hill for several
days the first of the week making a
final survey of the project and con-
ferring with Henry Ray, who has
been largely instrumental in direct
ing interest toward one of the most
neglected and undoubtedly profitable
systems of mining in southern Ore
gon. He is now in Oroville, Cal, at
which point some so or 60 dredges
of varying types are engaged in OPP
erations upon the rich sand bars of
that river, and where he intends to
make final determination of the
type of dredge which will be con-
structed for work on the Rogue.

CONVICTS SAVE PEN
Auditorium at Salem Penitentiary
Catches Fire-COnvicts Work
Like TrOians.

Salem, Ore, Nov. 25.-A fire
which originated from poor electric
wiring above the stage in the audi
torium at the state penitentiary this
morning caused a loss estimated at
$4,000. The roof of the auditorium
and the stage, which has complete
fixtures, were destroyed. The re-
mainder of the of the room, which
is 40 by 80 feet in dimensions and
has a seating capacity of 500, is un-
harmed.
The fire had wicked appearance
before being extinguished by the con-
victs with the prison apparatus. A
gruesome sight was presented when
the smoke began to drift away in the
death chamber where five murderers
are to be hanged on Friday, Decem-
Der 13. The two nooses could be
plainly seen through the lurid haze
hanging spectre-like from the ceiling.
1t is believed that if stronger breeze
had been coming from the south, the
scaffold which has sent Is to death
in its history would have been de-
stroyed.
The fire started at 10 o'clock and
was soon practically beyond control.
Immediately upon the alarm being
given the convicts, practically all of
them were set at work, and they
worked as if the building was their
own, which indeed it is, as the audi
torium is for their especial entertain
ment.
There was trouble with the hy-
drants which gave the fire great
start, and the Salem fire department
was at once called upon, responding
with its full force, making a quick
run.
AS soon as the conditions were
known some so special police were
sworn in, armed and rushed to the
scene, but their presence was not
needed as the convicts all worked
like Trojans to eXtinguish the blaze

JLaborers Are Scarce.

Employers Of labor complain of the
difficulty of securing necessary help
and the stu alton in railway construc.
ton work is becoming q matter of
concern to those who are affected.
Some of their experiences are related
by the Great Falls Tribune as follows:
About two weeks ago the Great
Northern Railway company shipped
q party OF 2O6 ticketed to Great Falls.
Eo route to this city farmers and pos
sibly employment agents drew upon
this supply with promises of wages OF
o and over per day to help out in the
harvesting of the grain crops and
when the labor shipment reached this
city it had been reduced to q party OF
eight men. One of these eight was q
ty pical hobo with q wooden leg, two
fingers missing from one hand and
with his nose broken, aud when ques-
toned upon the subject of the qualid-
| cations OF the balance of the party
| admitted that the rest of the were
"probablY nearly as good men" as
himself.
Farmers of this vicinity are paying
from g. Is to % per day and board for
men to work in the harvest fields. A
local employment agent received
yesterday an order for IL men at 81 25
per day and board with from six
weeks to two months steady work bu,
was unable to secure men to fill the
order. Several days ago he engaged
q party Of seven men to go out to
work on the Birch creek dam at :;
per day for q period Of ten months,
and not one of the sever men report
ed the next day to take the train.

Convention Call Amended,

The official call for the Chouteau
county republican convention has been
changed In respect to the apportion-
ment of delegates among the several
precincts, the new arrangement giving
larger representation to localities in
which the registration shows Q big in.
crease OF voters during the pact two
years. The change was made by the
central committee at q meeting held
Monday evening, at which it was de-
cided to base the spportionment upon
q tabul alton OF the republican vote OF
two year ago and the number of
voters registered in each precinct at
the present time.
In adopting this plan, the central
committee excluded Fort Benton pre-
cinct from its application. the I'D.
vantsges being confined to all other
precincts. Most Of the latter will have
larger deleg ations in the county con-
ventiou than we're desigu ated in the
original call.
It Is customary among all political
parties to base their convention ap-
portionment upon the party vote at
the last preceding election. and this
plan is being followed In all parts OF
Montana. Strict conformity with this
rule in Chouteau county, however,
would give inadequate representation
to several precincts that cast a small
vote two years ago and in which a
large number OF qualified electors
have esta blished q residence since that
time, and it vas for the purpose Of
giving these precincts larger repre-.
sentation that the change was made.
This departure from the plan usually
followed should be acceptable to re-
publican voters in all parts of the
county, as it will operate to give
them q square deal.
