FIRST GRASS CATTLE
BRING GOOD PRICES
MARKET MAINTAINING
STRENGTH OF LAST WEEK
Receipts Light at North Portland
Sheep Prices are Slightly Lower
With Heavy Arrivals-IIOg Situ-
alton Unchanged-Wheat Bearish.
(From MONDAYS JournaD


The first grass cattle of the season
came forward to the market at North
Portland today. Supplies were from
California and consisted of cows which
brought good values. Some fed
steers came along with the same ship
ment.
The cattle market in general, while
not quoted above 81 is said to be suf-
ficiently good to force 15c above this
for extra good quality. Steers that
are extra choice averaging from 115O
to 1900 pounds are now in best de-
mand. While killers were previously
calling for heavy steers that averaged
better than 1400 pounds and said that
if people here raised that class OF
stuff they too could get the prices
paid for tops there. Now that there
has been an abundance of heavy stuff
offering the style here has changed
to the lighter stuff of quality. Seem,
ingly the demand is always best fol
the stuff that is not available.
Run of cattle for the day at NORTH
Portland was rather light. over Sun
day the showing was but 26S head
compared with 461 last week and 81:
head for the same period in 1911.

MYSTERY IN DEATH
OF UNION WOMAN

La Grande, ore, May 14.-Whether
a murder was committed or whether
it was a case of suicide, is an uncer-
tainty in the case of Mrs. Fred Ratz,
an elderly woman of Union, Ore,
whose body was found in a creek near
there.
Mrs. Ratz left her home fully dress
ed. She proceeded to wheat field
near by and partially disrobed. Her
hands were tied behind her when the
body was found, but were about s
inches apart and tied in such a way
she might have done it herself.
Mr.. Ratz aroused neighbors early.
He had discovered his wife's absence
about o'clock. Searchers soon went
out and her clothing was found near
a creek. The body was not found
for some hours.

asked.
Only a moment before she declared
she learned her first husband died
some where in the west. On this be-

Mrs. Schwartz gasped and almost
whispered Yes, / know that man;
he is my husband" She was then
excused.

Tallman n. Y. Ten years ago he de-
serted his wife, he admitted, and went

Much interest is being taken by the
public in the dramatization Of THE
Common Law" When the book began
to evidence such an unbounded popu-
larity. the eyes Of every theatrical
manager in the country turned on this
popular novel with view to the dram
atization but the much coveted prize
was won by that astute magicion of
the stage who seems to hit the bulls
eye oftener than any other manager,
in the matter of presenting successful
plays. THE Common Law" with a
cast of competent players, will be
seen at the Grand theatre Wednes-
day, Nov. 6th. The producer has
made one of his brilliant productions
in staging this attraction and in every
way lived up to the authors ideas of
lavish surrounding. Seats now SELL

rang in the ears of many, why WIN
We Die?"
DR.. Bulgin shows what a power he
would have had for the right had he
remained lawyer. He gave last night
a splendid lesson on civil government
and an exposition of the laws of man.
Gods greatest law" he said is that
of eternal life, and as there is no law
without its penalty, the penalty is
eternal death"
He made all to see the picture of
the trial Of Jesus of Nazareth by
Plate, and showed how PLATE IN that
act condemned his own soul "The
people of Vinita have the Son of God
in their hands now-and | ask, What
will you do with Jesus?'
He told how much sin cost; far
greater is the expense than that of a
Cody life. He showed the people that
there was no standing still; they must
progress or retrograde; go up or go
down. Stop blaming God for a Hell, y
he cried. when you are making hell
for yourselves. God never made it.
1t belongs to the devil and his angels
for they are not fit for heaven"
Then he gave the most dramatic pic.
ture of hell that one can conceive OF
his words came like volley of shot
and shell from a gigantic cannon into
"a helpless unarmed people. Metaphor
and vehemenee and gesticulation until
one forgot everything, held spellbound
by this matchless orator.
After that, he pictured heaven. Ex,
quisitely sweet was this, and who
would own nature so debased as to
wantonly choose life in the palaces OF
His Satanic Majesty.
Brother Rose sang the finest solo he
has given us, The Judgment Day
and fitting perfectly to this magnificent
descriptive address, thrilled anew the
people who were yet under the spell
of the mighty theme. \
"Oh what a weeping and wailing,
When the lost ones were told OF
their fate,
They prayed for the rocks and the
mountains,
They prayed, but their prayers were
too late

ceiying a silver dollar, he held up his
hand; with or without the dollar, he
did not say. Then he said, IF say
to you, Some one come and get what
l hold in my hand will you do it?" A
|second invitation brought five or six
boys who stood waiting for an oppor.
tunity to receive the gift
DR.. Bulgin reached down and gath
cred up the smallest one little gold
en-haired child, about years old
Placing him on a chair he bade him
close his eyes and lift one hand above
his head. He placed the silver dollar
in the little open palm. why did you
come up here" he asked him. With
out moments hesitation the silyery
Ichild's voice answered, Because be
Ilieved in you" 1t was delicate and
beautiful way of explaining how we
know when We are really saved. God
offers salvation; it is a free and gra
cious gift. All that is asked of us is
to come. believing, and receive.
Later, when the people who hat
been convinced of the truth of his
teaching came and made their humble
confession before men, they were told
to realize their salvation, just as the
little boy realized he possessed the
dollar. He could keep it or squandel
it, just as he chose; but he thought
the boy would keep it because Brother
Bulgin gave it to him. And would they
not also keep this gift because Goo
gave?
The text last night was Acts 1925
Judas by Transgression Fell, That He
Might go to His Own Place"
There was a man once who couldn't
believe in hell. He was a good mar
and walked as near in Gods holy way
as 1t is possible to do. He said ont
time to an incapable expounder Of the
faith of this doctrine, why, If be
lieved that, my dear sir, would preacl
| from the house-tops to save souls from
everlasting torment
In this busy world of today, any
man who rose to such heights woult
be called a fanatic and a crank" anC
the people would move calmly on thei
way with scarcely turn of thei
head.
AS DR.. Bulgin delivered this masterl.
address, filled with dramatic fire aDt
armed with most conclusive evidence
one could think of instances where th'
bravery of one soul failed to raise t.
action his sleeping brothers.
During the terrible Chicago fir,
many years ago a man saw that th'
wind was changing and went to rous
friends in a certain hotel who wer'
unaware Of their danger. They re
fused to believe until the fire was ac
tually upon thm. Did not a singh
man rush madly before the great floot
at Johnstown crying warning in tim,
for all to be saved? He did, but W.
know what the result was.

oil Struck Near Adair.

Considerable excitement prevails in
the vicinity Of Adair over an oil strike
a few miles northwest Of Adair In the
White Oak hills. Oil men have been
busy for the past month getting up
leases In this vicinity but no one ex-
pected find so soon. A blue print has
been prepared starting at the iron post
four miles southwest of Adair and run
ming in a northeast direction, which
strikes a line considerable to the east
of where the well was struck. The
blue print shows where several pros
pective wells was to be put down as
soon as the leases could be gotten up,
but the striking of oil at this time may
make leases hard to get Old settlers
at Adair have been convinced that
there were plenty of oil near there, but
could never get the field developed.
A company was organized several
years ago aud a deep well was sunk in
the town of Adair but the drillers
plugged the well and moved away very
mysteriously Samples Of fine oil have
been taken from springs around Adair
for the past ten years.
