Among the many facts relative to the
growth of the state Of Washington since the
date of its admission to the Union, nsne are
more amazing than those pertaining to the
increase Of the commerce Of Tacoma. Within
sixteen years tins city has grown from a
sawmill almost hidden in the heavily wooded
shores OF Commencement bay to place
among the foremost commercial seaports OF
the world. One. 1hrd the worlds product
tea passes over the wharves Of this city; ten
million bushels Of grain will be shipped
from Tacoma this year; one fifth the lumber
cut of the entire State is produced here and
shipped TO all parts Of the world, and all
these are closely followed in amount by
shingles, coal and other products.
When 10 added to these the three hundred
and nineteen manufacturing industries with
a capital of ten million dollars, employing
over four thousand men. and producing ten
million dollars worth OF manufactured arti-
Giles a year, the sixteen years evolution from
a saw mill may justly be called one VI the
wonders of the nineteenth century.
These figures make 4 gratifying showing,
and the best of it is the fact that our growth
in all these directions has just begun.-7a-

PENNY-IN-SLOT MACHINES
Springing Up Again, Right After the
Election.

Penny-in-the-s machines were running
again last night just as if the police had
never decreed that they were gambling
cigar stores the old machines were sur
rounded by crowds of young men and boys
anxious to tempt fortune on the twirl of
the card wheels. The temperance of
these catch-penny gambling devices so
soon after election was looked on by a
good many people last night as indicating
that some sort of ante-election promises
had been made to druggists and cigar deal
ers.
A feeble pretense to evade the gambling
device law is made in most places. On the
card posted on machines naming the odds
that are paid for lucky throws OF the
wheels, the words mo gambling allowed
you can't lose, have been added. A pen
and ink notice informs the players that If
no cigars are won the player gets a stick
of chewing gum for every play and a whole
package of gum with every five pennies
that go into the Unsuitable slot. 1t is not
1t is the hope of getting a pocketful of CT
gars for a penny.
The penny-in-the-slot machines have been
regarded as one Of the worst and most Vi
cious forms Of gambling, inasmuch as they
appeal to boys When a fight was made
on them some time ago they were preached
against from the pulpitS of a number of
churches. and reformers implored the police
10 stop them. There was howl from the
dealers who find them a great source of
profit, and at least one man was known
who retired from business when they were
ordered out of the stores, declaring that he
had made enough off his two machines to
pay his rent on Washington-street store
room.

Feature of Afternoon Meeting.

Securing Subscriptions to Them q
Feature of Afternoon Meeting.
The convention promptly convened in the
afternoon and proceeded to the disposal Of
unfinished business. There was short de-
votional service, and the church filled rap
idly. The principal feature of the session
was the collection of pledges and offerings,
which, in the aggregate, far surpassed all
expectations. During nearly the entire ses-
sion a continual buzz of conversation in
terrupted the proceedings, and at times the
confusion was suggestive of lively politi-
cal convention. The addresses, however,
were listened to with marked attention,
and an intense interest was evinced in the
responses made to the call for new life
members.
The first thing in the proceedings was the
report of the committee on Mexico, which
consisted of Mrs. w. o. Darnen and Miss
Grace Carleton. The society maintains
station at Monterey, where the missionary
is NJ. L. Hoblt. 1t also conducted a sta
ton at c. Jaurez for one year, and the
committee recommended that the work
there be renewed. The cost of sending a
missionary to Mexico, said the report, is
small, and, as the way to redeem nation
was to educate the children, the committee

a school at Monterey. The committee felt
thankful that the board had seen fit to re-
tain mission in the field. Mexico needs
the pure gospel of Christ, and we are re-
sponsible to the degree of our ability to
supply that need" said the committee.
YOUNG PEOPLES WORK.
An important report was that Of the COM
mittee on young peoples work. which fol-
lowed the report on Mexico. The commit
tee consisted of Annie E. Davidson, IM-
nois; Kate E. Whistler, Indiana; Mrs. ]. c.
B. Stivers, Ohio and Mrs. Minnie G. Hines,
Nebraska The report. after congratulating
Miss Matte Pounds. national superintend-
ent, on her work, and indorsing the Junior
Builders, continues:
las the individual pledge card is a con-
slant reminder TO the children of their En-
deavor pledge, We recommend that our
board prepare individual pledge cards on
which the children can pledge their monthly
contributions for missions
We recommend that next year only those
organizations be admitted TO the roll of
