The safety of two thoroughbred pups
caused G. l.. st, Clair, artist, more con

Friends of the artist had removed the

pets were unscathcd.
A flash of flame when Mrs. st. Clair
attempted to light the kitchen fire, by
pouring coal oil ON it from the can,
caused her to drop the can and the
blaze spread rapidly. Evidently there
must have. been an explosion that threw
the flaming liquid to the ceiling for the
flames gnawed off the roof first.

Dallas Chautauqua Closes
Most Successful Session

(Capital Journal Special Service.)
Dallas, Ore, July 13.-Tuesday even
ing marked the close of tn 1916
chautauqua for Dallas and Polk coun-
ty and the big tent was filled to its
utmost capacity. The chautauqua this
year was the best that has ever been
to this city and it is pleasure to as
sure the people of Dallas and Polk
county that the Ellison.White Chautau
qua system will bring to this city next
year still better class of attractions
than the ones seen here this season.
The Chautauqua opened in this city a
week ago tonight and every lecture and
concert has been attended by crowd
of interested people. The lecture by
Sylvester Long, Monday night was the
finest ever listened to by an audience
IN this city. The concert by the New
York City Marine Band, Saturday
night, was well worth the price of the
season tickets and drew large at
tendance from the neighboring cities.
The community as whole are unan-
imOus in their praise of the Ellison
White people in sending such high
class attr ctions on their chautauqua
circuits and it is safe to say that the
chautauqua next year will be greeted
by more enthusiastic crowd than
heretofore.

Fruitland, Ore, July l3.-A few days
ago John V. Smith died at the home
of son-in-law near Marion
Ncighbor Smith was kind and oblig-
ing and attended strictly to his own
business which is more than some of
us who remain always do. He will be
missed in the community.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Ransom received word
that sister living at Gaylord, Kans.,
was a few days ago seriously stricken
with paralysis. Being somewhat ad-
vanced in years it is feared the afflic-
tion will prove fatal.
Saturday H. C. Bressler and Mrs.
Bresselr made a business trip to Sweet
Home.
Walter Ransom has been helping G.
o. Swales in his hay.
Sunday evening Mr.. White, of Sa-
lem, gave an interesting discourse in
the church here, the subject being,
Salvation" He said there is a differ.
ence between religion and salvation
one might be religious and yet not be
saved. He stated that for time he
professed religion yet was cross to his
wife but now having been saved by
the grace of God he was different
man, all of which we took his word for
being stranger to most of us and Mrs.
White not being asked to confirm it.
As to religion he might have stated
there is too much Of ii, a large share
being rank superstition and hypocrisy,
though the genuine article is to be re-
commended.
No brother farmers don t fear your
hay will be spoiled by rain These are
only buttermilk clouds and no one ever
saw it rain from such.

true enough as the judicial market is

Mrs. Sanger being woman is probably
qualified to say something on the sub
