Concerning St. Thomas Mission.


Perhaps at no time since it's begin
ming has the future of st. Thomas
mission looked brighter than at pres
ent. From a very small attendance
when the Rev. Geo. H. Thomas took
charge of the mission the cOngrega-
ton has steadily increased until at
present each Sunday finds the church
nearly flied, and at confirmation,
which will occur on Friday night, the
9th of June, a class of dozen or more
will present themselves for confirma-
ton. The Sunday school, too, has more
than doubled itself since the list of
January, and is still growing. Per-
haps no factor has done so much for
the building up of the church, aside
from the personality of the rector, as
the choir Composed of the following
MEMBERSHIPS. VIM. Smith, Miss Ada
Spencer, Mrs. Jennie Kemp, Miss Cora
Napier and Miss Pearl Martin, So
pranos; Mrs. B. F. Pierre and Mrs.
w. G. Jeffrey, contraltos; DR.. F. c.
Nelson, tenor; Mr.. VIM. M. Smith and
Artistic Spence, bassos; Miss Arlene
Scott, organist, and W. c. Jeffrey,
choirmaster-it is undoubtedly the
best organization of the kind among
the colored choirs in the Twin Cit
les, and ranks we'll up among the first
of any. It's work must be heard to be
appreciated. The mission is now To-
Gated at Ninth street and Fifth ave-
nue. south, but they expect In the not
very distant future to be located in
new building OF their own; in fact,such
a thing is positively demanded by the
activity of the church.

IAFoRMER GETS NO PORTION
Provision in Game Law of 1897 |,
Repeated.

The attorney general has given an
opinion in which he holds that the
informer of violations of the game
laws is not entitled to half the fines
imposed.
The law of 1897 gave the informer
such remuneration and the game war
den Of Whatcom county believed the
law was still in force. He asked the
prosecuting attorney to secure an
opinion from the attorney general.
The attorney general holds that the
law of 1903 repeats the law of 1897.
The act of 1903 provides that all
moneys collected in the shape of
fines snail 60 into the game protec-
ton fund.

FINISH TWO DAYS TRIP THROUGH
WESTERN PART OF THE
COUNTY.
Out and Cold Made Trip Anything
But Pleasant.

Commissioners McCaw, Struthers
and Morrow returned to Walla Walla
last night from a two days trip
through the north and western enc
of the county, pretty we'll tired out
from the long trip and fully con-
WINGED that Walla Walla county is
some bigger than it appears on the
map. The commissioners left Walla
Walla early Wednesday morning in a
two-seated rig and drove nearly sc
miles the first day, inspecting sew
eral new roads that have been lately
opened up in the north end of the
county. The route selected took the
board through the Touchet country
and to within 81 miles of Wallula.
Hauling the three big commission
ers was a trifle too much for the
team the board had pressed into SER
vice and it was necessary to secure
a fresh span of horses from a rancher
could be completed. This occasioned a
delay of several hours.
The board spent Wednesday night
at the Johnson sheep ranch below the
Touchet and Commissioner McCaw
said it revived old times when he used
to be a horny-fisted farmer ranching
in the west end of the county. AS
ranch life does not permit of late
sleeping the commissioners were
routed out at daybreak yesterday
morning and by sun-up were head
ing for the Gardena country, where it
is proposed to build a new bridge
across the Touchet river. The board
spent the day looking over new roads
in that vicinity, returning to Walla
Walla late last night
1T was trifle CHILLY, especially
early in the morning, but we enjoyed
the trip immensely" Chairman Nor
row said this morning. I'VE found
farmers in the north and west end
of the county busy getting in their
winter wheat Many have finished
seeding and in several places the
young wheat is already coming up. On
DR.. Cloves place on the TOuchet, the
wheat is up fully two inches and looks
healthy and strong. No, we did not
meet with any special adventures. Our
team gave out IN the TOuchet hills,
making it necessary to get a fresh
team to make it to the Johnson place
where we spent Wednesday night
The board looked over several new
roads lately opened up, and we also
inspected several proposed roads that
have been petitiOned for
