NEWS OF NORTHWEST
A budget OF General News Gathered In
Several Pacific Coast
States.
Christian Endeavor.

The influences which dominate the
early history Of a state are reach
ing. Oregon has many blessings and
one of them is that thousands of it's
young people are enrolled under the
banner of Christian Endeavor. The
societies have been the means of kind
ling noble purpose and arousing enthn-
siasm for the work OF Christian men
and women.
The Oregon Christian Endeavor Un-
ion is to hold its 18th annual conven.
tion at Portland, May 1928. and hun
dreds of young people are planning to
enjoy it. 1t is exceptional good for
tune that DR.. Clark, the president Of
the United Society of Christian En-.
deavor, which now has mem bership
OF over 5000, 900. will be present. He
left Boston May LIST, having just shaken
the dust of Cuba from his feet. and
Utah and California, before coming to
Oregon.
The programme is pronounced
splendid, but is not yet quite ready
for publication.
1t is to be mass convention. that
is. all members of Christian Endeavor
societies are free to attend. The Port
land '99 committee are making CAREFUL
arrangements, and they offer free lodg-
ing to societies with men bership of
40 or less for four of their number, pro-
viding each has a delegates certificate.
In societies numbering over 40. one out
of 10 may be given delegates certifi-
cate emitting to free lodging when
presented.
The railroads have given special rates,
the o. 4. & N. Co., full fare going,
one-fifth fare returning. All purchas-
ing tickets should get receipt from
the agent showing that they have paid
full fare. and this receipt will be coun-
tersigned by the secretary OF the Ore
gon Christian Endeavor Union. On
presentation OF the receipts thus coun-
tersigned the holders will be entitled
to the reduced return rates.
The Southern Pacific offers such ex-
ceptionally low rates that this will
afford splendid opportunity to visit
Portland. At that time the city will
be at its best. and the people will be
prepared to give the visitors royal
welcome. A steamboat excursion up
the Columbia has been planned at a
low rate for the round trip. This il
an opportunity not to he missed.

head by blazing log, which was
blown from a burning building. 1t is
stated that the woman who upset the
lamp which caused the catastrophe
and the other inmates and occupants
of the house have been arrested and
may be severely dealt with. A re-
port is also current here that only the
bank OF British North America Of the
chartered financial institutions was de-
stroyed, not both it and the Bank Of
Commerce.
Riley, Toklas and Humes, the men
who brought out the news of the fire,
are reported to have collected hun
dreds and even thousands of dollars as
private mail-cairiers for the prompt
delivery OF the communications of
which they were bearers. One of these
was addressed to the inspector of the
Bank of British North America, and
considerably reduces the amount of the
banks loss by fire. 1t is understood
that the record of the bank notes con-
sumed was destroyed with them, but
it is nevertheless quite possible that
this will not mean lost money.

ENGLAND PROTESTS
Does Not Want Any More Troops Sent
TO Alaska.


Washington, May 22.-While press.
ing the United States to agree to arbi.
tration of the Alaska boundary contro.
versy. the British government has en-
tered an objection to placing of addi-
tional American troops in the territory.
The controversy between the two gov
ernments has assumed more serious
aspect than is generally supposed.
While the presidnet is bound to the
principle of arbitration. and while, on
Its face, the case the United States
could present might result in a triumph
for this government, there remains the
possibility that an arbitration tribunal
might decide that the British govern
ment is entitled to port on the Pacific
coast, perhaps Skagway. of which Great
Britain greatly desires to obtain pos
session. In view of the great COM
meIcial interests of the Pacific coast,
the administration does not feel justi-
fled in accepting arbitration. and the
British government has been given to
understand this.

TO REDEEM IN GOLD.
Currency Reform Planned by the Re-
publican Committee.

Washington, May 23.-It is under
stood that the house Republican eau
Gus committee appointed to frame a
scheme of currency reform has agreed
upon measure along the following
lines:
The redemption Of all obligations of
the government in gold on demand.
Greenb acks, when once redeemed for
gold, to be ieissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue
notes to the paper value of their gov
eminent deposit in the treasury, in
stead of 80 per cent, as at present.
Permitting the minimum capacity
Of national banks to be s25, 900 instead
of $50. 900, as at present.
This plan is much less comprehen-
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency revision have urged, but was
adopted because harmonious agree
ment on it was possible. which was not
the case when more radical measures
were suggested.
