Preparations Now In Progress for Q

North Yakima for the convention Of

Der 25. He called on President Fraser
Of the commercial club. and left on the
afternoon train for Ellensburgh.
I'VE believe that this convention
will result in a movement of the ut

plates an organization to advertise
the actual resources of the country.
and is not intended as a propaganda
for any particular city or section.
Spokane has conducted a campaign
in the interest Of the Inland Empire
for more than a year now, having
raised a fund of $4,000 especially to
advertise eastern Washington, north
ern Idaho and parts of Oregon and
Montana. It's campaign has progressed
to stage where it is possible to take
account of actual results, and 1t has
been demonstrated beyond question
that the publicity it has given the
country has been paying investment.
Oregon has ap organization that
proved very effective in developing the
resources of that state, and the major
expense of the campaign has been
bourne by Portland. Where the COM
mercial clubs of smaller cities and
towns have raised funds, the money
has been expended by these places in
their own interest and according to
their own ideas.
'The significant thing in these cam
paigns has been the recognition on
the part of the large cities that their
future growth and prosperity depend
on the development of theid tributary
resources and the willingness they
have manifested to shoulder the bur-
den Of the work.
And now the entire Pacific north.
west contemplates concerted and har-
monious effort to bring the great re-
sources of our wonderful country to
the attention Of the world. In this
movement. as in the lesser efforts, the
large cities will have to subscribe any
funds that are raised, and other places
will help by doing their utmost to
land their share of the population and
capital that will follow.
We want North Yakima to have a
strong delegation at the convention,
and we are going to make a vigorous
effort to have evry other part of the
northwest we'll represented. It is
practically certain that Oregon will
be present in force, and If that state

acquired sufficient interest in that
road to be able to make demonstra-

the latter to look more favorable on

yesterday afternoon when he was caught
under the fender Of an electric car on

The boy was playing on Atwell's ave-

short lie dropped the fender also; but as
the boy had rolled under the car the fen
der, instead of picking him up, dropped
on him.
The car came TO a stop before the lad
had gone under the wheels; and he was
soon extricated by the car crew and Fire
men Angel and Risley OF Hose .. and

CARNATIONS Are
Merged.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, May 25.-
Church union sentiment reached its
highest pitch in the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly here today when a del
egation of seventeen commissioners
from the Cumberland Presbyterian
Assembly were received in the assem-
bly, of the northern church. AS the hour
of 10:30 o'cl0ck--the time set for re-
ceiving the visitors-arriyed dead si-
I.lence fell over the great convention
hall, containing the 750 commissioners
and about 1000 visitors. The next in
stant the hall was rent with cheers
as the whole gathering came to its
feet, following the appearance of the
delegation at the front doors of the
auditorium.
Half the delegation was I'd down
one aisle and half down the other, by
a reception committee of prominent
commissioners. Before they had pro-
gressed i've feet pandemonium had
broken loose. Men climbed into their
chairs. women leaned far out over the
balconies and box ratings and every
one waved hat or handkerchief. The
applause was deafening and continued
while the visitors were marched to the
front of the hall and escorted to the
stage and for five minutes afterward.
The seventeen visitors were drawn
up in a row facing the crowd. Stated
Clerk w. H. Roberts announced to the
assembly who they were and then In
troduced them one by one to Mod
orator Hunter Corbett, the Cumber-
land moderator, Ira Landrith being
first presented. When the moderators

AS each visitor was formally intro
duced to Moderator Corbett he stepped
forward and the two clasped hands,
while the great hall swelled with round
after round of applause. When the
ceremony was concluded there was
scarcely dry eye in. the auditorium.
The visitors were then presented to
brief address, expressing JOY and graft
itude at the consummation of the
reunion of the two churches. The Wis
itors included l.. c. Kirkes, Amarillo,
Texas, and w. J. Fisher, San Francisco.
The assembly today passed reso-
luton providing for combination of

tended by the assembly to other
churches to appoint committees to
meet for the purpose of drafting plans
for the work Without comment the
report on church erection was adopt
ed. The report showed that 291
churches had been erected at an ex-
pense of s272,694, Including splen-

year-old SON of ex-Poliee Officer Louis T.
Mego, by sheer grit, saved the life OF his
6-year-old brother, Louis after night OF

out, but as the little fellow could not

RAIN DAMAGES
MEDICAL Goods
Tents Are Flooded and
Some Collapse at
the Preside.

The MEDICAL supplies at the Presidio
suffered considerably by the storm early
yesterday morning. Before they could be
carried to place of safety over $1,000
worth had been destroyed, The large
circus tent in which were stored the
drugs for daily issue leaked like a sieve
and although Colonel Brechemin. who Is
In charge of the supplies, had his men
at work the entire night covering the
goods with oil cloth and canvas much
damage was done before this was ac-
eompiished.
While the men worked In their vain eff
forts to cover up the goods the water
came down the side OF the hill, flooding
the tents without floors and causing an
other rush of the men to move the heavy
boxes to a place of safety. With water
to fight from both above and below the
colonel and his staff did excellent work
and by daybreak all the supplies In the
large tent had been cared for and placed
beyond harms way.
In one of the other tents. however, the
colonel was not SO lucky. In this the
water had softened the ground and many
heavy barrels and boxes of supplies had
sunk nearly out of sight They were
taken from the n1ife during the afternoon
and several men were put to work open
Ing the boxes and drying the contents.
Many people sleeping in tents without
floors were compelled to shift their beds
and oontrive many ways to protect theal-
selves from the wet. In many other tents
the ropes drew up, pulling out the pegs
and allowing the tents to fall Many
women were obliged to call upon their
gentlemen friends to assist them in erect
ing the tents

people In the park district. The people

JUNK BUSINESS.
IS PROFITABLE
Many Applicants Are
Heard by Police %
Board.

The Police Commissioners met yester-
day afternoon for four hours, and most
Of the time were occupied in listening to
applicants for permits to sell junk There
were over seventy of them including sa-
loon-keepers, among them Jack O'Connor
and Abe Becker and Lew Powell, the
well-known amateur pugilist Most of the
petitions were granted.
At the request of the defendants the
cases of Patrick w. Flynn, Twenty
fourth and Alabama streets; r. p. Smith.
Pine and Webster streets; J. Williams,
2iO East street, and Henry Rohrs. Ocean
terrace, cited to appear to show cause
why their licenses should not be perma-
nentiy revoked for selling liquor in viola
tion of the Mayors order, were continued.
In the case OF Herman Frey, 1401 Ellis
street, the board. after hearing the evil
dence, reserved its decision till Frey ap-
piled for renewal of his license. The
license of Herman Leonhardt, Twenty
fourth avenue and Fulton street, was per-
manently revoked.
The trial of Policeman W. e. Cooney.
charged with tnoff1cer-like conduct, was
called but a continuance was asked for
a week and was granted. Later Cooney
sent in his resignation and hoped 1t, would
be accepted. as he had paid dearly for
his first error. The resignation was ac-
cepted On May II Cooney. while intoxi-

A letter was read from Rev. Samuel c..
Patterson, stating that at union meet
ing of ministers on May 21 a committee
had been appointed to wait upon the
board and Chief OF Police to express the
thanks and appreciation Of that body for
the successful administration of affairs
during and after the eafthquake and fire,
and asking when It would be convenient
for the board to receive the committee.
Commissioners OGrady said he had no
desire to meet Mr.. Patterson. as he had
characterized the administration prior to
the last election az composed of scoun-
drels and grafters. and thought no at
tention should be paid to the communica-
ton. The other members. thought 1t
would only be am act of courtesy to re-
ceive the committee, and it was decided
against O'Grady's objection to ask the
committee TO be present at the meeting
of the board next Friday afternoon.
