Easter Services at st. Paul's
Church.


AS II to atone for the cold, dreary
weather during the lenten season, ma
ture seemed to have made an especial
effort to usher In Easter Sunday
with bright warm sunshine and u
cloudless sky, inviting Christians to
the observance Of the grand and glor-
ious Feast of the Resurrection.
The members Of St. paul's Catholic
Church appeared to have fully appre-
ciatcd their religious obligations
judging by their very large attend
ance and their devotion at the vari-
Gus divine services.
At the 8 O'Clock Mass, there was u
fair congregation, n large number re-
ceiving the Holy Sacrament Of the
Eucharist, At the late Mass 1915 u.
m. the church WAS scarcely capable of
holding the large assemblage Of wor-
shippers.
The church had never been more
beautifully prepared for such u festi-
val day. The Altar and Tabernacle
were almost concealed beneath the
abundance of sweet fragrant, flower
Ing plants Of various species OF
course, Easter lilies, Of which there
WAS II plenty, preponderated, and
were SO arranged, as to produce the
most pleasing aud striking effect. At
either end Of the Sanctuary Altar
Railing was large blooming Gala
lily at the feet Of the Statutes OF our
Saviour and the Blessed Virgin white
blossom lilies were placed, en-
blematic of the purity and spotlcss
lives Of Christ aud his mother. Miss
Mary Healy, personally aud unaided
did the entire decoration.
The Mass sung during the service
had been carefully and perscveringly
rohearsed by the choir, under the in
structions Of Miss Katie Gorgen, the
organlst and rs result was most
correctly and pleasingly rendered. 1t
showed that the singers had interested
and exorted themselves to do credit to
to themselves and to the organist and
to do honor to the Feast day Prof,
Anderson assisted Miss Gorgen at the
organ in his customary pleasing and
effective manner; and as always, his
assistance and kindness were highly
appreciated,
iosewig's Mass In G.. was the one
used, with the Sanctus and Agnus Del
from Concono's Mass In H. Mr.
Francis Cody, being in fine voice,
sang his solo Face to Face most credi-
tably. Miss Mary Shaw played two
violin solos "Mendelsohn Spring
Song and "Rubcnstein's Melody
ms only u finished artist could, showing
complete mastery Of the instrument
After reading the Gospel of the
Sunday, Father OKeefe preached from
the text "be not airrighted, you seek
Jesus Of Nazareth who was cruciied
He Is ari2en, He Is not here behold
where they laid Him" The sermon was
very strong and appropriate on the
Resurrection, The main argument
tended to show that the belief in the
dogma Of the Resurrection, was In the
history OF the church, OF morality, of
civilization and enlightened progress,
the most influential and effective pow
or.
The religious exercises of the day
were concluded with Vespcrs and
Benediction OF the blessed Sacrament
in the evening.

BOSTON COMPANY BIDS.
viii Be Awarded Fluch Business BY
Uncle Sam.

" So w SN"Os wv ssO~ss DSSsss~SS ~
Uncle Sam.
Washington, June 12.-lnformation
has been received by Quartermaster
General Humphrey, that no San Fran
cisco company has bid on war depart
ment transportation to the Philippines
for the coming fiscal year. He has
also been informed that the Boston
Steamship Company, at Seattle, is the
lowest bidder, but the scale Of bids
opened in Seattle last Thursday has not
yet been received here.
Gen. Humphrey had the idea some
days ego that no Pacific coast company
intended to bid on this transportation,
and he so announced to the newspaper
men, and made some characteristic
comments on the supposed fact.
At that time he went on to say that
the coast lines were so busy with regu-
lar business that they could not un-
dertake any for the government. The
general confessed his error, however,
and said the war department would
give the Boston Steamship Company a
lot Of business during the coming year.
There would probably be more than
usual. he said, from the fact that no
San Francisco company has bid.

REMAINING PLACES.
John S. Flcf1illsn, OF Roche Harbor,
and John c. Lawrence, OF Will
man County Organization to
BE Completed At ONmpis On
June ~.

Bellingham, juno 15.-Gov. A. +.
Mead, who is in the city to attend the
Masonic grand lodge session. yesterday
announced his appointment Of the tive
remaining members Of the state rail-
road commission, naming John 8. MO
Millin, of Roche Harbor, and John G.
Lawrence of Garfield, Whitman county.
These, with 81. A. Fairchild. Of Bel
bingham, whose appointment was an
nonnced some time ago. complete the
board. The governor has also called
the commission to meet in Olympia on
June 81 for the purpose Of organizing.
In making his appointments Gov.
Mead says he has been governed by the
desire to name men who would faith
fully serve the interests Of the people
at large and be free from the influences
Of association or environment Of any
character which might bias them in
any way in the discharge Of their
duties. He says:
"Undou btedly one of the most i'm
portant questions which the new board
will have to consider is that Of rates
affecting the city Of Seattle, Spokane
and Tacoma. It will be difficult to
establish rates that will be satisfactory
to all the jobbers in these cities. For
that reason I have felt it necessary TO
pass over many capable men with
splendid endorsements in order that
I might not run into the danger of dis
eliminating in favor Of one city or
against the others.
"The men I have selected will, be-
ieve, be able to fix rates that will be
fair to jobbers in all parts Of the state.
Mr.. McMillin has been business man
and large shipper in this state for
many years. He is not identified with
any city, out understands the interests
Of all the people.
"Mr. Lawrence il as closely identi-
fed as any man in the state with the
wheat growing interests. He is not
likely to make any move that will be
to the detriment of the farmers Of East
ern Washington.
81 have considered that the commits
sion would be frequently in need of
the advice Of an attorney, and for that
reason. as we'll as others, have Sc
lected. Mr.. Fairchild, the Trainer of
the bill creating the commission.
New Normal Trustee.
Today, in company with q few
friends Of Mr.. McMillin, the governor
will visit the formers home at Roche
harbor and tender him the appoint
ment. BE will then return to Belling-
ham. where he will remain for a few
days.
Before his return to Olympia the
governor expects to make the appoint
ment Of q normal school trustee to
succeed Frank G. Teck, whose term
has expired. he ia not prepared at
this time to say who it will be, but
states that it will be some one outside
Of the city, probably from King, Clal-
lam or Skagit county.
Gov. Mead states that he believes It
for the best interests Of the normal to
have one member Of tho board from
outside the city in which the school is
located, and that this. rule will be
adopted with regard to the other nor.
NAL schools when vacancies OCCUR.
No other changes are contemplated in
the local board.
