Mr.. Yamaguchs spoke OF the glorious
victories the Japanese had won over the

their spirit OF patriotism, aided by the

success England had entered into a new
treaty. 50 had the United States and they

TAXATION OF CHURCH PKorERrY.
Pastors Oppose II. Hut ALSO Oppose

Money Making Entertainments.
The Pastoral Union held special meet
Ing at the Y. N. G.. A. rooms yesterday
morning at n o'clock. and discussed at
some length the movement on foot by a
number OF hall and theaier proprietors
to have the law exemptlng church prop
ersy from taxation repealed, because OF
the renting of churches for concerts. etc.
and listened to the reading OF paper on
the taxation OF churches by Rev. w. f.
Taylor.
Or. Taylor answered the arguments
raised by the men OF the world In favor
OF taxation of churches. He held that
the state had no right TO tax churches,
and cited as fact that no such law has
ever held for any length OF time in any
state where IL has been In force. He
stated. and addueed evidence to prove
that money placed in churches was not
taxable property. and gave as his reason
that the money subscribed to build
churches came from the wages and earn
ings OF the public. and said these moneys
were not taxable.
Or. Taylor maintained that we must
have churches for the moral good OF a
community, and that where the people
build a church. that much Is saved TO
the state. He went on to say that the
presence OF churches In a community had
the effect Of ssiprresslug vice and closing
saloons and like establishments. ard in
this way decreasing the number OF GRIM
inais, thus reducing the taxes Of the
state.
There seemed TO be unanimous SEN
timent among the ministers present that
churches have no right to rent their
buildings for the purpose of securing rev.
enoe in the way of lectures. concerts and
such entertainments. thereby depriving
proprle,ors of public halls of the revenue
which Is rightly theirs on account Of
their having TO pay taxes.

WEATHER-CROP REPORT.

Seattle, WASH, October II, 1895.
The crop season Of 1895 opened
very auspiciously. The month of
February and fore part of March
were dry md warm, and aVolable
for the beginning Of farm work.
March was cool during the middle
part, and wet ne4r ITS close. The
ground seemed to be of the right
degree of moisture, and rains,
though copious enough, were not
excessive. Some blowing and seed
ing wore done in the open days of
February and March, but in April
the seeding in the eastern section
seemed to drag along, owing to cold
and showery weather. The closing
week of April and first week Of
May were warm and sunny, and
fine growing weeks. Grain, grass,
fruit and vegetables all progressed
favorabiy. Daring the next week
there was a severe frost in the east
ern section, and light one IN the
western section. Considerable fruit
was DESTROYED, aid there was much
damage to winter and spring wheat.
by the late frest in May, The last
two weeks of May were warm and
favorable, and followed by needed
showers, causing much grain to
terminate that otherwise would
not hove done so.
Throughout June a dry spell
with parching winds prevailed in
the eastern section, which was un-
favorable to grain. In the west
there were a few gentle showers,
and it was fine haying weather.
The drought was broken on July
4th and 9TH by a heavy general
rain storm. Fine haying weather
followed in the western section,
which was also favorable to the Oat
crop i'll the Skagit river country,
but a drought begun which was
general over Washington until the
first week in September, and which
was considered unfavorable to grain
in eastern Washington, and to veg
etables in the western part. The
weather IN the harvest season was
very favorable for the purpose,
though the very dense smoke that
prevailed was somewhat disagree
able.
Showers occurred during the
middle weeks of September, and
warm, sunny perior at its close.
Though a dry September the soil
was left in good condition for fall
plowing The drought of July and
is regarded as one Of the
most severe and prolonged that
ever occurred in Washington.

Iol. - pr tlldl, vi Tue utDtI UlllGul
of agriculture, gave a chapel-talk
this week concerning the lines OF
work which students might follow
professionally, should they be elias
sifed, in general, as agricultural
students. He referred to the broad
subject usually styled agriculture
which though at present, having
certain subdivisions, both in theo-
ry and practice, is yet capable oi
being rendered into many depart
ments anyone Of which would be
we'll worthy the attention of the
specialist Of the future. The at,
tention given by specialists, of late
years, to field grasses, to the science
of dairying, to animal husbandry,
as we'll as agriculture in the usual
meaning of the word, were eX-
planned carefully, and the students
were directed to the great fields of
professional work open for the earn
est and well prepared fields not
only in the departments of agri-
cultural science already instituted,
but also in new specialties which
are sure to be developed from the
many branches of this far-reaching
science.
The first Of the lectures in the
"colIege lecture course" of 1886
will be given on next Saturday
evening, in the college chapel, by
Prof. c. Y, Piper, on the subject "a
Piece of Wood" The lecture will
deal mainly with the microscopic
structure of wood, the formation
and use of the various structural
elements being explained in detail
The lecture will be illustrated by
numerous lantern slides, the pic
lures being projected by an excel
lent instrument recently sent the
college on trial This will make
the lecture a rare treat for those
who attend. The public is cordially
invited. Lecture begins promptly
at eight; admission free.
The beginning German class has
organized with officers for the pur-
pose Of conducting business meet
ings In German. VIM. II, Phillips
was chosen president. The motto
selected is "Immer Langsam No-
can!'-ever slowly onward.
