Last week the club sent it's president D. g. Rodgers

Nothing iscourages volunteer organization more than

We certainly hope this supposition it incorrect, but
Judging from past experience inclined to believe that

line it is uncomfortable that there would be much delay
and horse before the commission We further of the
opinion that the commission taking the proper attitude
allow extention after extention any
group of promoters who might survey what they believe
strategic outlet of trade and then sit the lid waiting
for chance to turn public privilege to their private gain
The commission probably knows and the public should
know whether this proposed railway business
position merely promoters scheme The commission has
been roasted to rich brown this DEAL but refuse
to continue in the anvil chorus until better satisfied
to the real intentions of the company
Every community from Wenatchee to Kennewck has
backed this proposed line The people of Kennewck have
not only bought stock but have promised further $4,000
to purchase rights of at Rchland Now it to
that railroads having backing would not deal in penny
financing but hope wrong in such suspicion

150TH ANNIVERSARY OF SIGNING OF DECLARA-
 TION OF INDEPENDENCE

HUN I1NDlII JENNIE
 On June T, 1776, Richard Henry Lee moved in Congress that "these, United States are and of right ought to be free and independent States" Four days later the motion was adopted, and two committees were raised to present a declaration and the plan of a confederation. On the declaration committee were Thomas. JeffersUR, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Roger Sherman. On June 28, 1776- just 150 years ago this day-that committee reported. The Declaration of Independence was. drafted by Jef- ferson, and but very slightly changed from his copy. When it came up for final action-July 1, 1776-it received the votes of every delegate from the Thirteen Coloniess and t. immediately signed by the names of the fifty-six members present.
 Anything pertaining to those taking part in the signing of that immortal document-the Declaration of Inde- pendence-can not fail to prove of iiu-s Terest, for3whichl the: following speech-one which has met with some favor, likewise disfavor--delivered iu the House of Representatives some weeks ago-is herewith reproduced,A One Hundred and Fiftietfr Anniyer-
 sary of the Declaration of. tnde-,
 Humor.
 (Extension of remarks of Hon. Eman- uel Celler of New York in House of Representatives.)
 MT. Celler. Mr. Speaker, sone of the stories that. Thomas Jefferson repeat ed at Monticello. was. the one on Jeff ferson's boyhood chum, Ben Harrison. While a members of the Continental Congress- sat4,Philadel Ben Har- rison was joined by friend as he left the Congressional+H He took him for bumper to a place where sup plies were furnished Members of Con gress. They called for two glasses of brandy and water. The man in. charge replied liquors were not in- cluded in supplies furnished Congress- men,. Ben Harrison said: "Why not? What are those New England Mem bers drinking over -there?' The an- SWIFT was, "Molasses and water, which they charge to stationery.' Harrison rejoined, "Very we'll; give me brandy and water and charge it to fuel"
 I am in favor of H. J. 153. providing for the participation by the Govern ment of the United States in the Ses- quicentennial- Exposition commence rating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, at Philadelphia, July, 1926.
 The resolution authorizes an eXpen- allure of 1,186,500 for the purpose of participation by our Government through the bureaus and departments The bill further authorizes the appro- priation of $3,0O0,o00 for the sorr- struction of exposition buildings, upon the written approval of the. National Sesquicentenniai Commissiony1 which commission was formed by a resolu- ton adopted in the Sixty-eighth Con- gress. Two Presidents of. the United States have. authorized this conamem- oration of.thes signing of the Declara- tion of. Independence, the authoriza- tion of which has been ascribed to Thomas Jefferson.

secuted or feared, they have lived
across the centuries and build their
faith about the name of the great law
giver. And Christ was one of that
race and the millions of those who
name Him Lord honor the name of
him that Jesus honored. Moreover,
at the very heart of all moral advance
is shrined the Law; brief, comprehen-
sive, fundamental and going back to
this desert wanderer who gave his
own loyalty to its precepts. What
would be the worth of stone upon
lone hill compared with these living
things that have grown out of his
life? Instead of being a place of pill
grimage, one of the worlds bits of
holy ground, he had travelled to all
chimes and has his monument in the
hearts of those who revere greatness
and who follow God.

In the tender language of the old He
brew, "Moses died by the kiss of

with Him who had spoken with him
as a friend with friend" And in
such company there can be no fear.
What would be the story today one
can not guess, but all would agree
that that mountain disappearance was
fitting close for such life. He died

There is building upon that old
mountain in the memory of the man

THE DEATH OF MOSES.

Up in the glory of the hills with the
sweep of winds about him Moses wait
ed his call. His brother had climbed
Mount Hor; his sister had fallen on
the journey; now he faced the sum-
mons alone. Towering like mighty
pine that has breathed the wrestling

was but one night. 1t is not the size
of the hole that sinks the ship; it is
the water it lets in. Moses had one
