INFORMING MANY STATES.


Since taking his position Is secretary OF
tho Information bureau or Seattle y. a.
Moore has deived among newspaper Oh
sectories and carried on q huge CORE
spondence. until hs has become the rep
yesensative Of no less than forty-one
newspapers located In various parts OF tne

less than every two weeks. they eacn
have from ons TO two coiumna OF matter
the manifold advantages OF Seattle and
Puget sound IN a place OF residence ana
business for everybody.
A dozen OF these journals are daiiies.
and II Is q conservative estimate to say
that their total clientele II not less than
10000 readers, ali Of whom see the articles.
and are therefore placed in the position OK
being acquainted more or less intimately
Moore evsry week writes two leading ar
ticles of from 1000 to 400 words length
each, besides much short matter. which
are mailed to all these papers. and through
numerous marked copies. showing the suc-
1ressfui results of his work. These forty
one newspapers are published In the fot-
lowing states. Maine. Massachusetts.
York. Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin. Kansas,
Tennessee, Ohio, Nebraska. Minnesota, IL
lipois. Texas. Michigan. Alabama, North
Dakota. South Dakota. Louisiana. Fiori-
The success OF this enormous correspor-
dence Is shown in the frequency OF the re-
ceipt OF letters by Mr.. Moore from people
who have read his contributions and de-
sire to know more particularly Of branches
OF industry In which the writers are con-
cerned. nearly all OF whom are preparing
to come to Puget sound. valuable per-
centage OF the inquiries come from peo-
pie who have money to invest, In amounts
ranging from 500 TO several thousand dol
lars. and In many cases he has been visit
ed by men who have already come as the
result of the information found In his
newspaper articles. and who tell that they
are going to Induce their friends TO do
likewise.
''The success that has attended the con-
duct of the office In this small way" says
Mr.. Moore, makes me DESTROYS OF having
II take on more Importance and expansion.
There IL a field here for large bureau.
and believe that IL II should receive such
general and generous support az TO make
II possible 10 expand the return to the sup
porters would soon be double the outlay"

NEW York. Nov 23-Capt Charles T.
Ottley, r. N. naval attache TO her ma

from Washington today for the purpose OF
inspecting the Holland boat in behalf OF
his government. He was taken to the boat

vessel to the captain. For more than two

He seemed very much impressed with what
1T Il my intention TO recommend to the
board Of admiralty of the British govern
ment that they Immediately consider the
merits OF the Holland. with q view to
adopting vessels OF her type into the Brit
ish navy. She Is TO my mind the most
formidable type of submarine boat and has
demonstrated that she IL the only s,c-
cessful one. The vessel could not only be
used In keeping the harbors and the coasts
free from invading heets. but with vessels
OF the Holland type there would need be
no fear OF submarine mines or other OBJ
structione to navigation, as she could de-
stroy them rapidly. 1t IL my opinion that
there Is no question that the submarine
boat has come to stay and that such boats
must be reckoned on in future naval war
fare
The final preparations for the departure
OF the Holland for Washineton have bsen
completed. The vessel win leave her pres
ent mornings on Saturday and go to Eliza
berhport. where the pontoons which are 70
take her through the canal are TO De ntted
II Is expected the boat will arrive at Wash-
ington shortly after congress conveneS.

attention was paid to It. Now its numbers

NOTES OF THE WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA CONFERENCE.
Especial TO Virglnian- Pilot.)

Concord, N. c., Nov. 81.
Thousands OF people attended church
here yesterday, all the pulpits in
town being filled by members OF the
Western North Carolina Conference,
which has been In session here since
"Wednesday.
Bishop Key despatched business
promptly, and the probability is that
the conference will adjourn sine die
at late hour tonight or early to-
morrow morning.
Charges against two ministers have
been preferred-Rev. j. a. Green, of
Caldwell, and Rev. w. C. Wilson, of
II irIstUD. Charges against the former
are supposed to be OF serious char
acter, but Rev. w. c. Wilson will
probably get off with a light repri-
inand, as his only failing it said to be
high temper, which he seems unable
to control on some occasions.
There Will be q general shaking UP
of the leading appointmets of the
conference, as the body has lost two
Of it's ablest men, one, Rev. D. w. S.
Greasy. formerly OF Virginia, by
death, and another, DR.. Charles w.
lieved Rev. DR.. H. +. Chrtzberg, of
Tryon Street Charlotte, will also be
transferred to the First Methodist
Church OF Birmingham, Ala Rev.
DR.. ]. p. McFcrrin, OF the Missouri
Conference, and Rev. D. Vance Price,
of the lIalston Conference, are trans
fers 90 this conference.
DIR. McF'errin will probably be APP
pointed 10 the leading church Of Ashe-
vile or Charlotte.
Several members of the conference
are quite i'll, Rev. A. a. Crater dan
gerously so.
Concord has taken excellent care of
the conference, and fully sustained its
reputation for old fashioned hospital
ity. The next conference will probn-
bly, be held at Greensboro.
