MlsSIyES FROM MlsTLETOE

Sunday morning marked the
opening of the prOtracted meet
ing to be held at Mistletoe.
Bro. HUMPHREYS preached a
masterful sermon at eleven to
a standing room" audience,
and Sunday night standing room
at the doors and windows was
at a premium. We now have a
large arbor, plenty ofseats, good

from NARROW to aid US in the
meeting. He preached Monday
night and everybody woke up
and took notice. With such a
soul stirring speaker as Bro.
Humphries. and a gospel dispens-

ought to iven things up in the

COUNTY SOIL SURVEYS.

The Department of Agriculture
is preparing to make soil surveys
in every county of Oklahoma and
it is expected that this work,
which will be thorough in char
acter, will do much to increase
the already large agricultural
output of the State. In other
States where soil survey work has
been carried on for the past sew
eral years the farmers have been
able to plant crops most suited
to their farms with the result that
their profits have been greatly
increased. The Bureau of soils
soon will begin surveys in Bryan
and Roger Mills counties. Bryan
county contains approximately
500 square miles and Roger Mills,
LOO square miles. The surveys
will be made for the purpose Of
determining the different types
Of soils and what crops they are
best adapted. The surveys in
these counties will be finished in
the fall when reports viii be pre-
pared and published later, togeth-
or with soil maps in colcrs show.

in HarbOr at Portland

Portland, Ore, Jan. with 25
stitches covering an ugly scalp wound,
Captain Don Salter, of the Oriental
freight steamer Manchu Maru, is in a
critics + condition in a local hospital
today, following an attack on him by
the Japanese crew of the vessel, after
breaking out of the hold, where they
had been imprisoned to prevent deser
tions. Two of the crew are under ar
rest, and more arrests are expected.
Captain Salter, who was the only
white man aboard the vessel, which is
anchored in the Willamette river near
the city, was on the bridge when the
Orentals, rushing on him 25 strong,
laid open his head with a shovel, and
continued to beat him with revolvers.
The scuffle attracted harbor police
men, who quelled the mutiny, and
fastened Salter to the hospital.

About 100000 is needed for the re-
modelling Of the present state capitol
building, and Secretary of State Oh
colt, custodian Of the building is pre-
pairing to take complete advantage of

A large amount of space in the pres

the state library, the attorney-gener-
ais force and probably the state print

pied by those departments and take

1t is proposed to divide up the pres

This department has more freight

1918 Was
Given q Hot
Reception

1t required several charges of I'm
Gle Sans good powder to fittingly
celebrate the arrival of the New Year
last night at the armory. The SOL
diers made things lively in front of the
building with their rifles just as the
town clock tolled off the hour Of
twelve and nearby residents were
forcibly apprised Of the fact that 1912
was no more.
Considerable amusement was occa-
stoned by some stranger rooming at
the corner of Court and Liberty
streets. He had apparently forgot to
wake up, or his clock missed fire, as
when everything was quiet after the
New Year had arrived safely, he broke
out and created no small amount of
excitement by firing off what he prob
ably supposed to be u revolver, but
which was in fact a young cannon,
After whooping about the corner for
some time, he finally discovered that
no one else in the city was making
any racket, and he quickly slipped in
out of sight.
The greeting accorded the New Year
in Salem last night was said to be
about the most enthusiastic one ever
given it here. Artillery Of every de-
scription belched smoke and noise,
while church bells, steam whistles, tin
pans and anvils made the atmosphere
fairly shake when the eventful hour
arrived The city was orderly, how
ever, and the police had no occasion to
interfere Several kicks were made
by people who were either aroused
from sound sleep or were taking no
part in the general celebration.
The usual last drink" was largely
in evidence and swearing off was fol-
lowed with wagers by many tempor-
ary well-intenders.
For the first time in the history OF
Salem, the Chinese took part in the
Ned Year celebration. They gathered in
the street at the corner of High and
Ferry and set off number of monster
bombs and several punches Of fire.
crackers. The brown men certainly
enjoyed themselves in spite of the fact
they eliminated the burning of punk
and candles.

ARE CONSOLIDATED
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. !

Enterprise, Ore, Jan. 1.-Three of
the four Protestant church in Enter
prise consolidated, at a mass meeting
of members held on Sunday in the Bap-
tist church. The fourth church, the
Baptist, asked another week to consid-
er the matter, as the meeting at which
1t was discussed was not attended by
a sufficiently large proportion of the
membership to warrant final action.
Those in the federation are the Pres
byterians, Methodists and Christian
churches.
The united church is to be known in
formal phrase as The Federated
Church Of Enterprise. For all pur-
poses of public worship and in all So
cial and other undertakings, however,
1t will be an actual consolidation, One
