WESTs|DERS WANT
COUNTY BONO ISSUE
FORMALLY ASK COMMISSIONERS
TO CALL SPECIAL
ELECTION

Enthusiastic endorsement OF the
proposal for the county to issue
$600,0000 in bonds for permanent
pavement of it's main highways and
construction of substantial bridge
across the Des Chutes river on West
Fourth street, was given by Is resi-
dent of the Westside at a meeting
of their improvement club at the
Garfield school Tuesday evening.
The meeting formally requested
the county commissioners to call a
special election on the bond issue
plan as soon as possible and asked
the city council to withhold pro-
ceedings on the city assessment dis
trict scheme previously considered
until 1t is known whether bonds are
to be issued or not. County Commits
sioner Dodge told the meeting he
favored the bond issue plan and the
board is said to be willing to call the
special election.
CarlyOn Explains Plan
At the request of the club, Sena-
tor P. Fl. Carlyon, who first proposed
the bonding plan, explained it to the
meeting and expressed the opinion
that it could be carried throughout
without any increased taxation. a
stipulated portion of the bonds be-
ing paid off each year with the or
dinary revenues. Permanent pave
ment of the main highways. he also
said, would release the money now
spent ON them each year for the i'm
provement of the lateral roads of the
county.
Construction of the new West
Fourth street bridge and completion
of the paving of the Pacific highway
between Olympia and Tacoma COM
pose the first work to be done under
the plan, the other to follow later. as
deemed advisable. These two prof.
ects were considered the most i'm
portant, County Commissioner Dodge
stating that the concessions for milk
and other produce at Camp Lewis
obtained by local farmers made the
Pacific highway work an immediate
necessity and that the county had
no other way of doing 1t except
through issuing bonds.
COuncilmen Favor Issue
Councilmen Forstell, Knox and
Maynard, who attended the meeting
also expressed themselves as favor
ing the bond plan, and General
Hazard Stevens, who had previously
been inclined to opposie it, said he
had been favorably impressed by
Senator Carlyon's explanation of it..
The project was recently consid-
cred by the trustees of tho Chamber
Of Commerce. resulting in a decision
to postpone 1t for a while, on the
ground that the finances and credit
of the county and it's residents were
/ now most needed for supporting the

BY LELAND n. TRACY,

/ ants the judges of our race. He caused
"a perpetual expansion of His doctrines
to oyerwhelm their statsliest rival. His
youth is everlasting, His years do not
fail. He is now, as never, the ever
lasting Son Of the Father. He renews
Himself in all hearts and lives that
trust and obey Him.
He had spoken and immortality
with honor attends His word. Upon
the sad and sinful there falls from
His enthroned life the very light Of
God. Men see in Him their ideal and
their prince, their example and their
way of attainment
Who is this Jesus? Is this an ideal,
an ideal that cprang from some sub
lime consciousness woven around the
nucleus of inherited tradition. Or is
this history. history that ascends into
the heavenlies and lodges our future
within the everlasting God; history
that descends to the depths and below
sin and ruin, finds one foundation in
the unchanging PURPOSE of creations;
history that occupies the breadths OF
the human SPIN stretched between
these eternities?
i take my place with those who see
Him in the light Of history, of those
who know Him face to face. And liz
this resurrection season OF reasonable
worship We hail Him. Our salutation
is the one chorus Of the church in all
her courts: s. -
Thou art the King OF Glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the
Father.
When Thou tookest upon Thee to de.
liver men. Thou didst humble Thy.
self to be born Of q Virgin.
When Thou halst overcome the sharp
= ness of death, Thou didst open the
kingdom Of hcayen to all believers. =

,!,s.xs THE ~ *
POWER OF THE RESURRECTION

g.. -
t.In him was life, and the life was
the light of men, .--St. John, IA. ..
1t has been said that every mans
history ends with his grave, but in
the case of the Christ the rule was
reversed, and the worldwide influence
OF the power OF the Christ commenced
after an ignominious death which His
enemies intended should consign Him
to oblivion. The adamantine walls Of
fate were shattered, the purposes Of
darkness and hate were confiscated
and the glory of Christ in His resur-
reetion was proclaimed by the opos-
tolic band, and the deciples as the
completion and the crown of the trini.
ty of forces which resided in Him.
Whatever Christianity has since
been to man, the Incarnation and the
crucifixion and the resurrection were
the irremoyable convictions Of the
first ambassadors. The disciples
taught that such divine powers dwelt
in Him that no man could come into
reach of them without Transformation,
and st. Paul was the first prominent
product Of these powers. s r
Suddenly, following that first Easter
morning, there swept through an inert
and almost hfeless church the breath
Of regenerated grace. A profound agi.
tation shook the souls of men; con;
science awoke in them. They dropped
their greedy pursuits and turned away
from the paths of lust and hate. Wom-
en- forgot their yanities and with de-
votion like that OF Mary Magdalene,
once more wept at the feet of the
Nazarene. The one theme was treli-
gion, the supreme object the culture
OF the soul. And when they were
asked the reason for the Transforming
and renewing temper their answer
was that Christ Jesus had arisen again
and mighty works did show forth
themselves in Hin.
There Is nothing in the universe
more sure than that Christianity had
birth in the intense belief that
Christ's death vas followed by His
resurrection But that resurrection
was followed by another; it has never
stood alone: dead world arose with
the triumphant Jesus III. :.
Here we are confronted by two
courses Of belief and action, and they
summarize all that wish to say.
There came into human life nearly 20
centuries ago a man born in poverty
and toll He announced Himself the
sent of God. He further said that no
man knew the Father save the Son,
meaning Himself. -Ee condensed into
amazing breyity a fIllness, a suffer.
ing, teaching and an influence which
accomplished all the past and herald
ed all the future. ~
He had 50 seized the laws Of deyel.
opment that. He defied time and
death; they have never had dominion
over Him. He founded the, church
and made a band of uneducated peas
