Salvation Army

The arrival in this city of Commits
sioner George A. Kilbey, the highest
officer in the Salvation Army last week
and the addresses he delivered at
various points attracted a great deal
of attention, and the public meetings
he addressed We're unusually large
Commissioner Kilbey was the COM
mander of the Salvation Army in South
Africa during the critical period of the
Boer war. In that position his ability
and judgment came into prominenc
in the difficult and trying work of re-
lieving the distress in the two armies,
as well as the distress In the great
number of refugees who fed from the
scenes of activity. The commissioner
is represented man particularly
fitted for the large responsibilities
resting upon him by reason of his
breadth of mind and character, also
his vast experience in all branches of
the Salvation Army work. 1t is rep
resented that his sympathies are with
the toilers, as he comes from the ranks
of the working class, having in his
younger days been railroad engineer.

young men, has. since the middle Of

come a rendezvous for many who are
anxious to read the current ma gaines
and papers and have an opportunity to

ants are young men who are rooming

the night OF the second Friday in Mo-
vember Professor David Starr Jordan
Of Stanford University delivered a lee
ture IN the parish-house for the benefit
OF this reading-rOom
In the outset the professor stated
that II gave him pleasure to do some

that the present century is q

mites for the young men who will
devote themselves to the necessities Of
the time He said that it had been
stated that there are no opportunities
crowded and that they have no chance.
He declared this to be a serious mis-
take, because he added, there never has
been q time where there is such a de-
msnd as there is now, and il will con-
tiuue throughout the century. OF
course he stated. this does not apply to
that class Of men who. Mark Twain

about one third of the young men who

Of the opportunities. There is, he said,
the mother lode which extends from
the extreme far north down TO Pata-
gonia which is just waiting for the
enterprising young men who will draw
from il all the gold that IL contains,
and they will take II all out during the
present century While these are en-
gagged in this. other young men will
be drawing the riches from other looes
in other countries.
In this era OF prosperity he declared
there is z continuous demand. and it is
impossible TO supply the demand, for

Reports From Portland at an Early

Of Wlthycombe, RepubIi-

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, June AT II: 90
p. m. there are indications that Gov.
George e. Chamberlain, Democrat, is
reelected over DR.. James Withycombe,
Republican.
Jonathan Bourne, jr., Republican, ap-
peared to be fairly certain of receiving
the popular nomination for United
States senator over John NJ. Gearin,
Democrat, incumbent.
In the congressional race both the
Republican candidates are slightly in
the lead.
These estimates are based on very
meager returns, but Bourne is reported
ahead in nearly every part of the state;
this with the fact that in the same
precincts in which Mr.. Bourne leads,
Governor Chamberlain is also leading
DR.. Withycombe by a greater margin
than that of Bourne over Gearin, seems
to justify the prediction made.
The equal suffrage amendment to the
state constitution appears to have been
defeated by a large majority.
