ing such strides as it is today, and and
vet on the surface it does not at all
appear. The trust t-mongers will go on
for a time with the work of ontroll-.

which such work will bear, and when
the revulsion comes they will stand
aghast and amazed and want the mil

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform,
He plants his footsteps in the sea

who knows but that this is his way
Of lifting up the common people or
calling the hoi polloi into Mount
Olympus? Cooperation of the many
under sort of yolun tary socialism
for manufact turing and whole saling
purposes, seems a sure outcome of the
present travail. The trust may turn
out sto be a labor-saVing machine, but
the saving must be for the many and
not for the few. Aye, there's the rub.
Things may seem wrong for day,
Ebut in the end the God of Israel cares
for those he loves. And we are they.

Luke's church in San Francisco. AS to
the pay of ministers, question which
Is at this time causing considerable dis
cussion throughout the United States,
Rev. Mr.. Garrett Ii quoted as saying:

this respect. man must be inwardly

the ministry offers today rare opportuni-
ties and rewards, 1t Is sometimes said
si sion, is overcrowded. Il so. there is room
at the bottom II not at the top.
Happy days those were IN my own
poor little mission nae chspsr ana ma preached reach

in a school house. The young minister
full OF the Holy Spirit will find a place to
work. know that the ministry Is. as a
bravely enduring hardships for the cause
In which they have enlisted. There are
compensations. however, that outweigh
all money value. And then In most cases
where clergyman goes into a town and
does his work faithfully he is given a
support. Often where the salary Is mea-
ger the great missionary societies help
out.
I'm some respects the ministry has an
advantage over other professions While
the young doctor or lawyer often has to
wait long time before he earns any
thing, the young minister usually has
some salary at the start. The ether pro-
fessionS may make more money in the
long run. but I can only say with DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, I sometimes won-
der why everybody doesn't go into the
ministry. Men talk about making mil

millions, to repay them for not being cler-
gymen. ], had rather 60 to the rudest

allegations were so vile that he did not

there was no mention of adultery. Then,
according to Mr.. Sulliger, Mr.. Naylor
justified himself by saying that the orig

Mr.. Sulligers letter placed the Seattle

CONDUCTOR BADLY HURT.
Serious Street Car Collision on the
Union Trunk Line.

Union Trunk Line.
Frank J. Sutton. a conductor on the
Beacon hill division of the Union Trunk
line, was badly injured in a collision be-
tween two electric cars at the corner Of
Fourteenth avenue south and Massachu-
setts street about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Sutton's upper jaw was bro
ken In two places, and one Of his cheek
bones was fractured.
The point where the accident occurred
is a meeting place for cars on the Bea-
con hill division. From that point on
only one car runs to the southern end Of
the line, and this car meets all cars COM
ing from the city, and transfers passen-
gers. The track is a single one.
On the trip when the accident occurred
the ear running to the end of the line
reached the point first, and the conduc-
tor had changed his trolley and was
ready to start on his return trip when
the car of which Sutton was In charge
arrived. The motorman on Sutton's car
ran 1t to within a few feet of the other
car, and Sutton changed the trolley. Just
as he was placing it on the wire the mo-
torman on the ear going south turned his
motor crank to start the car. but instead
of starting the car in the right direction
he reversed the current and sent 1t In the
direction of Sutton.
Before the latter could see his danger
the two cars crashed together and caught
his head between the two dash boards
infiicting the injuries stated. He was re-
moved to his home in the Rainier heights
district and DR.. p. w. Willis was sum-
moned. DR.. Willis stated last night that
unless the fracture of his cheek bone
proved more serious than present indica-
lions are the patient was in no danger.
Sutton is a married man and has several
children. He is a son of Rev. e. B. SUIT
ton, the temperance advocate.

DEMOCRATS TO GATHER.

Tonight to Organize q Club.


Tonight to Organize . Club.
Democratic politicians of low and high
degree have been summoned to NEE. to-
night at o'clock in G. A. r. hall, in the
Collins building, for the purpose of or
ganizing Democratic club In prepara-
ton for the municipal campaign of next
march.
The meeting was called a week ago by
the city central committee following a
line of work planned by J. w. Goodwin
and his political lieutenants. The meet
ing is expected to start sort of thur
rah'' movement in favor of straight
Democratic ticket in the city campaign.
Some of the leaders in the new move
ment are recalling the Democratic or
ganizatior In the Ronald campaign sew
eral years ago. At that time there were
ward and precinct clubs more or less
famous, according to the point of view,
1t is given out that In the next city cam
paign the Democratic leaders will en-
deavor to duplicate that organization II
II Is possible. #
The leaders of the party will endeavor
to confine the meeting merely to the dis
cussion of methods of organization. No
attempt to discuss the expansion issue
will be encouraged In fact. vigorous
efforts are to be made to preserve "har-
mony" and order. 1t Is not known
whether or not arrangements have been
made with the police as precautionary
measure.

YUKON ICE IS BROKEN UP.
Chinook Winds and Warm Weather
Prevail About Dawson.


John Russell arrived In the city last
night from Vancouver, B. C.. He reached

worst in his years of experience in Alas
ka. In company with Bud Harkin and
H. L. Landis, of California. he left Daw-

we were three days from Dawson chinook
winds began to blow. Two days later,
when we were near the White river, the
ice gave way, precipftating the party into
the water. For half an hour we floun-
dered around in the cold river, and only
after a hard effort reached shore. We
recovered only q portion of our provi-
sions."
While in the water Russell froze the
fingers Of both hands. His companions
Jared almost as badly. He is Just be-
ginning to use his fingers again. They
took to the woods at White river and
reached Selwyn, from which place they
travelled to Selkirk over the government
trail which for nearly 200 miles is in
splendid condition. Lake Lebarge Is still
open and very dangerous to cross.
For three weeks before the party left
Dawson the weather had been very warm,
with chinook winds blowing constantly.
The earth roofs over many of the mine
drifts, In which steam thawing machines
were being used. thawed and fell in.
There have been many casualties as re-
suit
Russell says there has possibly been
fifteen or twenty injured and killed about
Dawson within short period from this
cause, and two days before he left three
men were crushed to death in a drift
only a few miles from town. They were
strangers to him, and he did not obtain
their names.
The Yukon. he says, is now filled with
chunks of floating Ice He does not
believe 1t will be frozen before January

anyone to attempt to reach Dawson.
There Is plenty of work In Dawson at IS
a day and board. The lowest wages by
the hour are rs cents. A large number
of persons are preparing to go to Nome
in the spring, and he predicts that labor
in and about Dawson will be scarce next
summer. The Nome contingent will
leave Dawson early in February and go

and financially his lines fell in pleasant
placer. In his work he obtained much aid
from his wife.
During the latter part of May the Rev.
e. NJ. Randall. pastor Of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church, went on an ex-
tended vacation trip to Alaska. 1t had al
ready been practically settled who should
fill DR.. Randall's pulpit, 1t is said, when
Mr. Naylor arrived in the city and was
heard by many members of the congrega-
ton Of the First church. The result was,

strongly upon having Mr.. Naylor that the
