MoRMoNS COME BACK.
Determined Effort to Gain a Foothold
in the Northwest.

Spokane is going to be made the
headquarters for the Mormon church
in the northwest. N. Pratt, president
of the northwest states mission, re-
Gently appointed by ]. F. Smith, pres
ident of the Mormon church, is in
the city and has announced his inten-
ton of making this the central point
of his work in this district and of es-
tablishing church here.
Mr.. Pratt, who is a member of one
of the oldest families connected with
the Mormon church, is himself high
| in the councils of the Latter Day
Saints. His field comprises Wash
British Columbia, with Spokane as
the headquarters.
In response to queries this morn
ing, Mr. Pratt spoke as follows in
regard to his plans:
This district has never been thor
been from time to time elders here.
~ is the intention of the church to
take up this part of the country in a
systematic mannel, to canvass the
territory, preach the doctrine and to
secure as many converts as possible.
Southern Idaho has already a good
start, and we have some of our peo-
pie in northern Idaho, but in wash
ington and British Columbia, little
has been accomplished.
81 am now looking over the field
in order to get an idea of the num-
Der of the elders required to cover it

about 20 workers.
"At present we have no church
here, but we intend going right al
the work. We will preach street ser
mons if the mayor is willing, and
endeavor to get cottage meetings. II
we get enough converts in this city
anu surrounding country we will es
tablish a church here.
Mr.. Pratt states that there are now
in the neighborhood of 100000 Nor
mons and that this number is rapid
ly increasing. Oregon has now beer
cut off from the northwestern states
as il has been settled to quite large
extent with members of the church
southern Idaho is also well settled
with those of the faith, and it is now
the desire of the church to get Wash
ington, Montana, British Columbis
and northern Idaho into line. Whe1

Workingmen of Kalispell, we well
come you to our church this evening.
/ have invited you, not to seek any
favors of you, not to fiatter you in
any way, still less to find fault with
you.
l shall not attempt to prove that
the church is your friend. If it is,
demonstration ought to be unneces-
sary; if it is not, augmentation is a
waste of time. Our aim is rather to
bring the church a little closer to the
little closer to the church, believing
that the result will be to the advan-
tage of both.
l wish to speak to you as men, my
fellowmen; my brothers and equals,
in spite of the artificial distinction
that employment makes.
In discussing local issues l prefer
to address you as part of the great
army of toilers; for it is the glory
of the labor movement of today that
it is not local but racial; not Sec
tional, but worldwide, embracing
y,ur comrades in both hemispheres
with whom you make common cause
of socialism. IL is not vengeful cry
for blood; but symbolizes that blood
is the bond of union, thus echoins
the Bible declaration that God hath
made of one blood all nations of men
mat dwell on the face of the earth
Let me, therefore, speak of prin
ciples. AS they are of universal bear
ing they have also local significance
and apply to us here in the Flatheat
valley.
First of all, l would mention the
fundamental duty OF self develop
ment, the duty to improve ourselves
to the utmost. Food and shelter sat
isfy the british instinct; but man is
a creature of higher wants. Formed
on the divine model, he has divine
longings. Hence the inward impuls,
to develop the mind, soul, or the
self-whichever term you prefer. II

AS chief he enjoys the respect and
confidence of those who are under him
His personality is sufficient to insure
perfect discipline in the department,
and the men know that when the chief
orders them to do a thing he ex-
poets to see it done in a proper man
ner. AS fire fighter the men recog-
n1ze his ability, and in the trying times
of their lives, when panic is on all
sides, his orders are obeyed to the let

doing them well. Chief Martin was
born in Detroit, Mich, in 1853, and
came to st. Paul with his parents two
years later. In st. Paul he attended

although that position paid no salary.
1t was position of honor, and one

In less than two weeks after Pat
rick Smith had become a member Of
the department Henry Tubbesing's
name was placed on the pay roll, where
it has remained until the present day,
Mr.. Tubbesing's entrance into the paid
department in Oct. q, 1872, was the re-
suit of the good work he had done since
1869, when he joined the volunteer de-
partment.
Mr.. Tubbesing was born in Prussia,
Germany, Nov. 3, 1874, and came to
this country when a boy. He settled in
st. Paul in the early days, and in COM

every walk in life, from the richest to
the most humble were knit by a bond
to fight the common enemy of all-fire

Joseph Wilkie, engineer of Engine
Company No. 6, Delos and Clinton, was
made member of the department
April %, 1874, after having served five
years as a volunteer fireman. There is
probably no man in the department
who has had a more widespread exper-
fence in life than Mr.. Wilke. He was
born in Westphalia, Prussia, March 13,
1871, and came to American when four
teen years of age. His first home was
