"Let the church do the needed temp
erance work" The trouble is the
church don't do it. The very preach
ers who oppose temperance societies
because, SO they say, these SOC ieties in
terfere with the work of the church,
are the ones who haven't opened their
mouths on this subject of temperance
for months, and nine out of ten of
them are too busy making the pre-
liminary surveys of new routes to
heaven to study and intelligently
present the subject. If the church
had always done her duty these, and
other societies, would never have come
into existence.

Shoemaker by the Grace of God.

A young STRIPPING of minis er, who
had just come to DE pastor of the town,
went down to talk to Hiram, because
he had heard that he was spiritual
man, and he said, "Mr. Golf" and Mr..
Golf said, Don't call me Mr.. Golf,
call me Hiram" "Well, Hiram"
said the minister, II have come to
talk with you about the things of God,
and am very glad that man can be
in humble occupation and yet be a
godly man."
The minister thought he had made
a mistake, and he said, Excuse me,
didn't mean to reflect On what you are
doing for y living"
The man replied "You didn't
hurt me, but 1 was afraid you might
have hurt the Lord Jesus Christ. I
believe the making of that shoe is just
as holy thing as your making a SER
mon. I believe that when CO me to
stand before the throne of God, he is
going to say, what kind of shoes did
you mako down on earth?' And he
might pick out this very pair, in order
to let me look at them in the blazing
light of the great white throne. And
he is going to say to you, 'What kind
of sermons did you maker And you
will have to show him one of your
sermons. Now, if I make better shoes
than you make sermons, / will have a
better place in the kingdom of God"

His eyes grew still more bleary,
But his nose grew bright
He drank when he was weary
His strength fer to prolong.
His legs grew still more shaky
But his breath grew string.
He drank when he was downcast
Fo: to chase away the night.
His debts grew still more heavy
But his purse grew light.

The committee on printed matter
reported that the secretary OF state Is
about to issue pamphlet containing
much valuable matter descriptive OF
the resources and products of Wash
ington, compiled under law OF the
last legislature; that this pamphlet will
be issued about April l, and that, be-
ing official, would doubtless meet the
wants of this association for general
work of that description better than
one of its own compilation. Secretary
Price had offered to furnish the same
in almost any quantity required and
to cooperate with this board in every
way possible. In addition, it is pro-
posed by your committee to have bull
letins covering special topics, fisheries,
timber, coal, mineral, dairying, fruit
raising, wheat-growing, and other
principal industries of the state pre-
pared by citizens who are recognized
authorities on the subjects treated, to
be used in arousiEg the interest or
answering the inquiries of those who
are especially interested in any one of
these subjects. 1t is thought much
good can be accomplished in this way,
working along special lines.
The subject of funds was discussed,
and it having been decided at the
previous meeting that about $4,000

IN making THIS app0rtlonment IL
was considered that counties contain
ing metropolitan cities, having in
terests extending throughout the state,
should contribute most largely and
that nothing should be asked of the
smaller counties, whose present in
terests are almost entirely local, ex-
cept the entrance fee to the associa-
ton and such funds as they may find
it desirable to raise for expenditure in
their local work. 1t is expected that
each county will incur whatever is
necessary in the collection, compila-
ton and publication of such data as
may be necessary to fully inform the
state board and through them the
home and investment seeker as to the
opportunities offered within its borders.

OF the state. Much good might be ac-
complished if public-spirited residents
of other counties would emulate the
example of Mr.. English.
Mathew Bliss of Vaughn, at pub
lie immigration meeting in Tacoma,
March 2, set forth the advantages of
his locality. Mr.. Bliss made settle
ment eight years ago. There were
then only four families residing in
that part of Pierce county. They now
have fifty pupils in their public school,
a library of over 500 volumes, a public
hall, good roads and are free from debt.
The lands are well adapted to fruit,
grasses and vegetables and can be pur-
chased by actual settlers at from S. to
$lO per acre. Clearing costs about 500
per acre. They organized an immigra-
ton association at meeting attended
by forty residents of the locality.
The Commercial Club of North
Yakima has taken practical steps to
induce immigration by sending East
one OF its members, Mr.. G. M. McKin-
ney, to labor among the Hollanders of
Michigan, who are DESTROYS of emigrat-
ing. Mr.. Mckinney expects to bring
out soon at least two carloads to the
Yakima valley.

landers have located On WILDLY Isl
