REV. W. H. RIVALS WAS

Singing, Prayer and Scripture

Monday night at 7 o'clock the
Community Tree" was illumi-
mated as the vast audience which
had gathered sang the Christ
mas carols.
The tree was erected Monday
afternoon in the center Of Mark
ct street just opposite the post
office, and when it was illumi-
mated by the many colored elec-
trio bulbs it was an object of
beauty, and seemed to fairly
radiate Christmas cheer.
Fully two thousand people
were in attendance at the SER
vices, and each and every one of
them seemed to be flied with the
spirit Of Christmas. They
seemed to be there to see and
hear andcontribute their bit to
the gladness of the occasion.
At 7 o'clock Rev. w. II. Ryals,
who acted as master Of ceremo-
nies, called the audience to order,
and Rev. B. B. Lavender read a
passage of Scripture pertaining
to the birth OF Christ. This he
followed with q prayer. The
audience sang Silent night, "
Joy to the World" America"
and the Doxology, interspersed
by appropriate remarks by Rev.
Ryals and Others. Rev. Lam
breth Hancock offered a benedic-
tion. after which the crowd dis
persed.

progress made within a decade
or two in the way Of celebrating
the holiday.
Within the recollection Of most
of this generation, it was the un-
form custom Of the people to
spend the days about Christmas
in dissipation and more or less
questionable amusements. That
day has passed inocuous desuet-
ude and has been succeeded by a
more rational spirit Of praise and
work Of the King of Kings and
Lord Of Lords.
The good women Of the town
and the organization, the Music
Club, are entitled to the credit
Of instituting this. the first Com
munity Tree. Long may twave

for Peace and good will to all,
and malice toward none.

the season it is possible that sellers
may get in touch with eastern buyers,

The Oregon market, however, is by
no means inactive. There is a brisk
demand from California and Texas, and
both states are taking good shipments:
California potato growers, influenced

this has provided an outlet both IN
California and the southwest for the
Oregon product.
The leading buyers are still offerihe

Asylum for Insane
Has 1874 Patients

The fact was brought out at meet
ing of the state board of control this
morning that there are at present 1914
patients in the state hospital for the
insane at Salem. The board met this
morning for the purpose of going over
the reports of the superintendents or
the several institutions for the purpose
of getting in readiness the budget to
be presented to the coming Legislature.
But little work of interest was done,
the time being largely devoted to the
examination of what Secretary Olcott
appropriately designated as head
achy'' matters. The building of new
wing to the hospital for the insane,
for use of the mems department, was
discussed. Also a new kitchen, a green
house, a slaughter house and labora'
tory were talked over. Prior to taking
up the reports Superintendent Mimic
was in consultation with the board on
the matter of automobile repairs and
truck hire accrued in the flax depart
ment. There is due truekmen of Salem
the sum of $4,000 for the season S truck
hire in this connection. The board has
been visiting the asylum today.

for the formal Inauguration of DR..
Carl Gregg Doney as president of Will
lamette University, Friday, October 13,
are now completed.
The coming of so many men Of
marked scholastic attainments to
Salem is of much educational signifi-
cance alone in the annals of the his
toric Methodist institution. Combined
with this, the great success attendant
on DR.. Doney's administrative activi-
ties as president for a little over a
year warrants the interest of the city,
state and northwest in the university.
All arrangements for the Inaugural
ton are in charge of DR.. r. n. Avison
representing the board of trustees.
That student support may be lent to
the occasion, no classes will be held
on that day.

for the occasion are Bishop Matt 5.
Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal
church; Hon. James Withycombe, gov
ernor of Oregon; ]. A. Churchill, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and the presidents of the following
educational institutions: Edward IL.
Todd, College of Puget Sound; 2. L..
Campbell, University of Oregon; Mel
vim A. Brannon, University of Idaho;
Wallace H. Lee, Albany College; L. H.
Epley, Philomath College; W. j. Kerr,
Oregon Agricultural College; Levi T..
Pennington, Pacific College; j.. H..
Alderman, State Normal School; Chas.
j. Bushnell, Pacific University, and
Leonard W. Riley, MciMnnville College.
The ceremonies will be held in the
First Methodist church beginning at
10 o'clock, October 13, with an address
by Bishop Matt S. Hughes. DIR. Q. G.,
Doney will respond. Senator X. A.

pay is mere presumption. No promise of
increase has been given the railroads.
What has been promised is that an in
vestigation shall be made and just and
fair freight rates allowed. How wei
come the fulfillment of this promise
will be to the railroads is question.
The net earnings of the railroads of
the country for the year ending June
/. 1916, were 16S million dollars more
than the last year of the Taft admins
tration. This indicates a possibility
that the establishment of " Just rates
does not necessarily mean higher rates.

nipulation in rail road deals and man
agement, may cause it that the "bur-

The republicans have never been able
to regard the farmer as they do other
business men, or to treat the farmer S
business as they do other business. The
whole legislative record of the party
shows this; the line of argument used
to the farmer by their speakers and III
their campaign literature shows it,,
The latest and most remarkable in
stance of this is the preaehment they
are now putting out that the settle
ma4 of he strike by President Wilson
was of no value TO the farmer and that
a great burden in the way of increased
freight rates will fall upon his should
ers.
There is no basis for either assertion.
The strike would not have caused the
farmer to actually suffer for food or
for fuel as the poor in cities would
have suffered. But his business would
have suffered.
With the railroad traffic of the ma
ton blocked the farmer business
would have suffered along with all
other business-in some ways more. lie
would have seen his grain, his corn, his
cotton, all his staple products, held on
the arm or running up storage charges
in warehouses, of no present use OF
value, and to be later sold in an I'M
