the stranger, and to smile their ap-
proval of his utterances. At the
same time they realize that if any
one of them should give utterance to
the wild slang and wilder harangue
used in the revival his job would
be lost to him forever. The regular
pastors are placed between the devil
and deep sea; if they condemn that
form of supplication the over-zealous
mob would boot at them, and if they
should attempt to follow the style
after the visitor gathers his shekles
and moves on the frcnzied mob would
shoot them.
The religion of God is not a sub
ject for slang or for unholy utter
ances or for appealing by the sala-
cious story; religion is dignified with
love, impressed with kindly service,
tinctured with charity, filled with
kindly service, tinctured with char
| ity, filled with reverence. If it lacks
these essentials it is "hollow
mockery," and assumes the form of
desire for notoriety upon the part
of the appealer. The modest, earnest,
God-preaching minister, serving his
flock in an honest and conscientious
manner secretly deplores the advent
to his community of one of these "fa-
NOUS reformed" something or other
fellows who pats the believer between
the shoulder blades and threatens
those who fail to give endorsement
with all the horrors of future punish
ment. To lead" and not to "drive"
is one of the sacred tenets of real
religion.

COLUMBIA RIVER CITY'S
ENORMOUS FIRE LOSS

Dispatches telling of the appalling
loss by fire at Astoria, Oregon, nine
ty-nina miles from Portland, recall
many interesting facts about what
was once destined to be the leading
city of the northwest. 1t was found
ed in 1911 by John Jacob Astor, who
declared when he secured the large
area of land that he would make As
toria the New York of the Pacific
coast" No doubt he would have done
so had not the town council" at an
early date refused to grant Aston
certain concessions, whereupon he
Immediately withdrew his personal
interest and disposed of his holdings
as rapidly as possible.
Two-thirds of the business section
of the city is built upon pilings, and
under the buildings the heavy tides
ebb and flow twice in twenty-four
hours. The. main business street,
Commercial, bordered upon either
side by two, three and four-story
buildings, is paved with four-inch
planks each forty feet long, resting
upon polings around which swim fish
of many kinds. These plank are of a
length to leave a few inches between
the ends and the sidewalk curb, and
it is no uncommon sight to see lines
dropped through these openings and
good "catch" of fish soon hauled up.
The city has huge numbering inter
ests, salmon and smelt fishing inter
ests with many huge canneries, and
the adjacent territory is the home of
the Dutch belted cattle. 1t received
a severe business blow when La Fol-
lette, in 1907-08, put through his sea-
mans bill which he is now trying to
modify in the senate, because as a
port of entry its business dropped,
and not one sailor had shore leave
where one hundred had been spending
his money Yet it has prospered and
reached a population of about four
teen thousand. The city has a water
system which gives a gravity pres
sure when valves are wide open of
one hundred and forty pounds, and
alongside of and through the city is
the longest railway trestle in the
world, exceeding fourteen miles in
length. The peculiar formation Of
the business portion of the city ac-
counts in part for the very heavy
financial loss caused by the fire.

FIRE ALARM FROM CHURCH

At 1899 Sunday afternoon an
alarm called the fire department to
the corner of Oak and Fourth
streets, where smoke had been seen
pouring from. the upper part of the
Methodist church. Investigation
showed that stovepipe had broken
apart and allowed the smoke to fill
portion of the building. The mat
Ser was quickly remedied without
financial loss, and without using the
engine, which was making it's maid

ers' hands.

COMING TO TAMPA FAIR
FROM CALIFORNIA

Arrangements have been complet-
ed for more than one hundred citrus
fruit experts of California to visit
the great Tampa fair which will take
place in February, the visitors COM
ing in one body in special through
coaches. 1t. will be remembered that
but few months ago large number
of Floridians visited the Golden State
for the purpose of investigating con-
ditions, and that trip was resultant
in a fund of information regarding
both the culture and marketing of
citrus fruit, and the disposal at a
profit of vast quantities of products
which are now allowed to go. to waste
in Florida.
The visit of these Californians will
prove a wonderful bit of publicity for
the state, and there should be full
advantage taken of it. These men
will find some wonderful things in
this state-just as the Floridians
found things there which astonished
them. Arrangements should be made
by different commercial bodies to
carry them to all portions of the state
and allow them to see the opportuni-
ties which lie everywhere.
Three things will be brought fore
IDLY to the minds of these Califor-
mans. The universal excellence OF
the climate; the extremely low price
at which perfect citrus land can be
purchased in its raw state; and the
neglect of those now in the state to
take advantage of the many oppor-
tunities for profit which lie every
where. The true Californian is like
the Hollander; he takes intensive ad-
vantage of every gift of nature. The
true Floridian finds that he can so
easily make living in a leisure fash
ion that he allows the major portion
of the opportunities to lie latent.
There is no doubt that the visit of
these Californians will result in some
of them locating in Florida. 1t would
be a wonderful thing for the state if
such should be the case, for it would
give an impetus to whatever line of
business the newcomers might seelct,
and would stimulate the people of the
state to keep pace with them-or
even excel them once the spirit be-
came dominant. Raw land, in many
points in California, sells for as much
as do groves in Florida; and where
the water rights in that state cost a
fortune in some localities here it may
be obtained for the cost of driving a
we'll and installing a pump. With a
greater volume of production in
Florida there must be a correspond
ing lowering of. transportation costs,
and the two states can supply large
area of the country with neither in
terfering with the other once salts
factory and equitable rate is secured.
There are many things which the
visiting Californians will learn for
themselves while here-all of which
will be of advantage to this state;
any one of which will be an induce
ment for a change of location to some
point in Florida.

If SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur TO an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim-
pies or roughnesS
You do not have to wait for improve
ment. 1t quickly shows. You can get
little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.
