EVANGELISTIC SERVICES
GROWING IN INTEREST

The evangelistic services at the
First Christian church last night,
where R, w, Abberley, of Cincinnati,
and Harold Richards, of Eugene, are
assisting Rev. Davis Errett in a spe.
cial series Of meetings was full of in
terest. The singing led by an excel
lent chorus was enthusiastic, the
prayers ferven1 and the preaching
forceful.
The eyangelist's theme was Loyal
ty and Love" He emphasized the fact
that loyalty to Christ is not judged by
the orthodoxy of our religious opin-
ions. So long as there are two minds
there will be two opinions and men
can never be forced to all think alike.
The conscience alone is not an infalli-
BILE guide but is based upon our judg-
ment and knowledge of truth. Loyal
ay to Christ depends upon our accept
ing His word as the law Of our life and
making his ideals of character our
guide of. conduct.
Tonight Evangelist Abberley speaks
on "The Thief on the Cross" The
male quartet will sing. The meetings
go forward with zeal and power.

THE MAGPIE AND CROW
ARE CALLED FRIENDS

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 11.-Friends of
the magpie and crow have rallied in
the protection Of the birds, following
a bill introduced in the state legisla-
ture at Olympia providing that a
bounty be placed on their heads. The
bill has already passed the senate and
provides for a bounty of 25 cents a
head.
"The crow does more good than
harm in the long rum" declares Pro-
fessor Trevor Kincaid, of the State
University here, an authority on orin-
thology. "While he eats a little grain,
he also eats praasites which harm
fruit trees and plants, and is a great
scavenger."

GATUN DAM MARVEL
OF ENGINEERS SKILL
(Army and Navy Journal.)


How near we are to the completion
of the Panama canal is shown by the
brief announcement in the Canal Rec
ord" "Gatun dam is nearly complet-
ed. A few thousand yards of earth re-
main to be dumped upon it here and
there and the lake side must be paved
with rock; but the great bulk of the
work is done" The mass of material
that has been piled up across the val
ley Of the Chagres river at Gatun for
the purpose of backing up the water
of the river and forming lake rises
to the stupendous total Of 100000
cubic yards OF earth and rock in the
dry and 1O,750,0OO yards of hydraulic
fill.
Even one who has seen the dam
grow from the first carload of earth
dumped across the bed of the Chagres
river finds it difficult to realize that
only four years ago there was a hun
dred feet beneath the present pile of
rock and earth, a village with a hun
dred houses, church, a dozen can
tinas and half dozen Chinese shops.
Gatun was first suggested as a site
for dam as far back as May, 1S9,
during the inter-oceanic canal con-
gress in Paris, when the DeLesseps
plan for a sea level canal was adopted.
Even when the French turned later to
the lock type the site was considered
for a dam.
The predictions of the United States
army engineers relative to the action
Of the elements in combining the diff
ferent materials have been verified,
and the dam on the eve of completion
is a solid mass of earth and rock. The
men who built the dam include Amer
leans, Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, East
Indian coolies and West Indian ne
groes. They numbered 200 in 1907,
1000 when the force was at its highest
in 1911, and now that the work is
practically done they have dwindled
to about 300, of whom 15O are employ
ed on the spillway When the work
was at its height four suction dredges
were at work and 100 trainloads Of
rock and earth were dumped in a day
The dam has been subjected to more
advese criticism than any other part
Of the work.
1t was believed at one time by some
experts that the valley of Gatun was
unsuited to hold so great structure
as this one and one-half. miles long
22OO feet broad and 1O5 feet high. All
the Investigations showed the fear un.
founded, and now the dam itself proves
this, for it is performing its work Of
holding back the water of Il o Cha
gress, and gives no evidence of weak
ness, either in foundation or in any
Of its parts.

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
TIME 1T! NO INDIGESTION, GAS
OR SOURNESS FIVE MINUTES
AFTER TAKING "PAPE'S DIAPEP.
SIN"

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food
or have feeling OF dizziness, heart
burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache-this is
Indigestion.
A full case Of Papes Diapepsin
costs only fifty cents and will thor
oughly cure your out-of-order stom-
ach, and leave sufficient about the
house in case some one else in the
family may suffer from stomach trou-
Bile or indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble Of all
kinds must go, and why they usually
relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or
indigestion in five minutes Diapepsin
is harmless and tastes like candy
though each dose contains power suf-
ficient to digest and prepare for as
similation into the blood all the food
you eat; besides it makes you SO
to the table with healthy appetite;
but. what will please you most, is that
you will feel that your stomach and
intestines are clean and fresh, and
you will not need to resort to laXa-
tiyes or liver pills for biliousness OF
constipation.
This city will have many Diapepsir
cranks, as some people will call them
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach preparation, too, Il
you ever try little for indigestion OIL
gastritis or any other stomach misery
Get some now, this minute, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and indigestion.
