Ladies Appreciatiye.

Ladies Appreciatiye.
Secretary Abbott, by inviting the
ladies to the mems meeting, has TAX
ell the initiative AND set a precedent
that is worthy Of special notice. A
reporter was speaking with one of
thc most prominent and public spirit
ci ladies after the meeting Sunday
afternoon and she made a statement
that will doubtless voice the scnt-
ment Of every right thinking man
and woman in The city. In speaking
Of the ladies being invited to the
meeting. she said, 1T don't see why
some one had not thought Of it be-
fore. If the management of ihc \.
NJ. {. \. would arrange to nave such
Il meeting at least once Il month they
would soon find that the organization
Would grow in such proportions that
the building on Magnolia street
would be Inadequate even for a men S
meeting. IT is not everybody that can
attend religious service Sunday morn
ing. and the difficulties arc greater
for ladies attending the evening ser
vice, but Sunday afternoon the vast
ma, ,ioritv are free and arc longing for
some place TO go and cnpoy Il pleas
ant hour. Have a meeting OCCASION
ally to which the ladies are invited
and see if the Y NJ. C. A. doesn't
become The biggest thing in the city,"
A splendid program was carried
out in connection with the lecture by
DR.. Schcrrr Sunday afternoon. The
music was Furnished by Il full orchcS~
ira and there were vocal and instru-
mental selections that were treats
indeed The trio by Misses Chrcitz-
ber", DorSC and Gossctt aah the vio-

Dr. Schcrcr'S address on Robert F..
Lee was one Of the most eloquent tri-
bulcS ever paid to The great soldier
The speaker held The undivided attcn-
tion of his magnificent audience by
the Influence Of his mastery clo-
qucice. He said in part:
81 do not come to you merely to
pay a tribute to that greatest Of all
Americans, Robert f. Lee, for the
world has that already from the lips
Of that matchelss soldier, Ben Hill,
VINO in an address before the South
ern Historical Society in Atlanta
some years ago, Of his mighty
leader:
"Whcn the future historian shall,
come to survey the character Of Lee,
he will find it rising like a huge
mountain above tho undulating plain
Of humanity, and he must lift his
eyes high toward heaven to catch its
summit. He possessed every virtue of
other great commanders without the
vices. He was a foe without hate !;
a friend without treachcry; victor
without oppression; AID victim
without murmurin@. He was public
officer without vices; a private citiz-
en- without rcproach; a Christian
wi':,o"t hyporrisy; and man with
out guile: Frederick, without his
tyranny; Napoleon without his selfish
ness; and Washington without his
reward. Tie was obcdicHt to the au-
thcritN as a servant, and royal rs a
true king. He was genuine as a Ro-
man vestal in duty: submissive to law

RAPID GROWTH
OF FACTORIES
MARKED ADVANCEMENT IN CAR
RAGE AND CAR INDUSTRY
IN WASHINGTON.

y WASHINGTON, Nov S.-The rapid
development of manufacturing enter
prses in the state of Washington has
been shown repeatedly by federal CEN
sus returns and by statistics compiled
by the state authorities and by COM
mercial bodies. The most recent sta
tistics in three scattered lines of in
dustry have just been made public by
the census bureau, covering the year
| 1905 and comparing the activities of
that year with those of the census
year 1900. The three lines reported
on at this time are carriages, wagon
and railway cars artificial ice and
tobacco.
| There was a marked growth in the
carriage and car industry between 1900
and 1905, a summary of which is CIV
| en- by the census bureau as follows:
| The total number of establishments
engaged in the manufacture of car
riageS and wagons in 1905 was 25, the
same as in 1900. but the total capital,
| ization had increased from $97.S60 to
s23O,41S. In the same period the wag-
es paid increased from $SS,901 per
year to $15S, 200. The value of pro-
ducts in 1900 was s23S.21S. but In
| 1905 this total had increased to $4S2,-
263.
| There was a --------r large growth in
| the bushes of manufacturing railway
car, and in repairing car, the num-
! Der of establishments in 1905 being,
! however. only 10 compared with 16
| five years before. There was a con-
solidation of plants between the years
mentioned, for the total capitalization
had grown from s994.SO0 to S1,e94. 1854.
was 1927 as against 956, and the to-
tai wages paid We're sS69,044 in 1895
the number of - earners employed
as against $653,205 in 1900. The ag-
gregate value of products advanced
from s1.479,6S0 to S2,76S,726.
| The cigar and tobacco business, al
| though not comparable with similar
manufactures in some of the tobacco
raising states and in New York, still
showed a healthy increase. Engaged
! In the manufacture Ol cigars III 1910
were 1O3 establishments, as against
81 five years before; the capital en-
ployed in these enterprises had in
creased from $SS,724 to $191 sos, the
number of employees from 1873 to 26S,
! and the wages paid from $6S,S55 to
s176,725. The whole number of cigars
J turned out by the factories was H.
1885. valued at $610.07S. as against
/ a total valuation of $293,S39 in 1900
/ Smoking tobacco to the extent of
! 1895 pounds was manufactured in
Washington in 1905.
i The number of establishments en-
gagged in the manufacture of ice in
| 1905 was II as against 4 in 1900, and
the amount of ice manufactured in
creased from 1890 tons to s51.S72.
The capital invested increased from
1882 $50 to s4S6,025 in the five years,
and the wages paid to employees from
/ s25.70O to s7S.062.
+. Some of those industries are minor
enterprises in the state of Washing
ton. but their prosperity is indicative
! Of the general growth.

emperor himself gave $4,000. Three
million pieces of stationery were given
out. 1t is known that three-quarters
of a million different soldiers visited
the association headquarters. Baron
Kodama, the Won Moltke of the entire

Marshal Oyama. having summoned Mr..

rendered his army, and he added: In
doing this, America has rendered Japan
the greatest service since Perry opened
the empire to the commerce of the
world"

LASATER COMING HOME.
WaIIa WaIIa Young Man Leaves S. A
A. c. to Recuperate.

Wiley Lasater, the big tackle and
fullback of the s. A. A. c. football team
left this morning for his home at
Walla Walla where he will remain
during the rest of the season. Lasater
has been in ill health during the past
two weeks and is going home to re-
cuperate, says the Spokane Chronicle.
His loss will be a severe blow to the
club football squad, as there is no
more aggressive player on the cluD
team than Wiley Lasater. He mas
proven a veritable demon IN defensive
play and has been one of the players
who has been faithful in getting out
for practice.
Lasater hopes to be in better health
by the holidays and if so will reJoln
the squad and make the trip to the
coast for the final two games OF the
year.

HOOD RIVER, Or, Nov. S.-Walld-
sens railroad camp on the North Bank
road, opposite Mamaloose island. near
which several Hindus were killed by an
explosion last Friday, has been the
scene for several days of the weird
spectacle of the cremation of the bod
les of the Orientals with. the accom-
panying rites of their religion.
After washing the bodies and laying
them on improvised funeral pyres their
toe and finger nails were cut off and
they were reduced to ashes. The re-
mains were then taken out into the
Columbia river, where they were
sprikled on the water, accompanied by
prayers.
The toe and finger nails. il is said by
one of the Hindus, will be sent back to

India for the relatives of the dead men,
to be buried in sacred grounds. 1t is
stated by witnesses of the affair that
very little emotion was displayed by
the Hindus at the loss of their COM
rades, either at the time they were
killed or at the funeral services.
Investigation into the cause of the
explosion has revealed the fact that it
took place in what powdermen call "a
lost coyote explosives being in one
of the holes that had been drilled in the
rock and but two of which were dis
charged Unable to know this, from the
noise of the discharge, the men start
ed to dig out the refuse and one of
them hit the charge with his pick,
causing it to explode. What is thought
to be a most remarkable result of the
explosion is the fact that while seven
were killed outright no one else was
injured.

CHANGES COMING
NEXT CONGRESS
MANY FAMILIAR FACES IN BOTH
HOUSES WILL BE REPLACED
IN DECEMBER.

When the sixtieth congress of the
United States assemblies in Washington
three weeks from next Tuesday, there
will be many of the old familiar faces
missing from both lower and upper
houses and there will be as many
strangers seated in their places.
In the house the democrats lose
their senior member in poin. of length
of service. J. H. Bankhead of Alabama
is replaced by Richmond Pearson
Hobson, of Spanish war fame. Mr..
Barkhead, however, does not leave
washington, but succeeds the late Ed
Imund w. Pettus in the senate.
Perhaps the most conspicuous loss
on the republican side of the house
is general Grosvenor of Ohio, one of
! the keenest wis the house has ever
known. Another old time republican
member who will be missed is James
w. Wadsworth of New York, for IS
years a member of the house ana
lately defeated by Peter A. Porter, a
democrat.
A picturesque figure on the demo-
\ cratic side disappears When Joseph c.
Sibley of Penn sylvania, for 10 years
member of the house, is succeeded
! by a republican.
Others Who Go.
! O:her members of the house who will
/ ho 11-ha hn civ
assemblies are Bowie of Alabama
Smith, Trimble and Gilbert of Ken
lucky, Robertson of Louisiana, Nc
Nary and Sullivan of Massachusetts,
Hunt of Missouri. Van Dezer of Ne
vada, McDermott of New Jersey,
Hearst, Tewne and Rupert of New
York, Patterson and Gudger of Nor. h
I Carolina. CARRIER of Ohio, Kline of
Pennsylvania, Butler of Tennessee,
Brooks and Field of Texas, Southall of
Virginia, Dovenor and Davis Of West
Virginia. and Bishop of Michigan
These disappear from the house be-
cause they failed of denomination last
fall
nominated but failed to secure re-
election We're such prominent leaders
| as Babcock of Wisconsin. Lacey of
Iowa, Blackburn of North Carolina,
McCleary of Minnesota, and Fred Lam
dis of Indiana.

| more noticeable. Death has removed
Pettus and Morgan of Alabama, whose
places will be taken by Congressman
Bankhead and Ex-Governor johnson.
| Berry of Arkansas, has ended 20
years service and is to be replaced
by Jeff Davis. "Fidiling Bob" Taylor
takes the place of Carmack of Tennes-
see. and Joe Blackburn OF Kentucky
followed by Paynter. Dubois, one of
the best politicians and statesmen in
the state, is followed by Borah. from
Idaho.
Baby Member From Nebraska.
The youngest member of the senate
is Elmer E. Burkett of Nebraska. with

close second. Curtis of Kansas. is
he first Indian to occupy seat in

the only extremely rich man among
the new ones in the upper house ard
Briggs, of New Jersey, is the only one
who wears whiskers. Others. not so
we'll known to the public, are to go and
come, but in every case. 1t is noticed
that the men are of unusually high
ability and have good public records
behind them.

INVESTIGATE JURY SYSTEM.
Civic League of Des Moines Wants An


Inquiry.
Des Moines.-That the methods of
selecting jurors in Polk county is sub
ject to manipulation for the benefit
OF interested paruies," is what the
Civic League says to the Polk County
Bar Association in a communication
just filed. The Civic League asks for
an investigation.
Mrs. F., w. Dodson in communi
cation addressed to Judge Hugh
Brennan of the district court, makes
practically the same complaint and
asks for an Investigation by the
court
In the communication of the Civic
League four distinct charges are
made
First that the boxes containing the
names of the jurors prepared by the
county clerk and county auditor are
not sealed as required by law.
Second, that the ballots are not
mixed as required by law when
placed in the round box wheel in the
at the court house.
Third, that the custom of election
judges in putting themselves on for
jury service is illegal.
Fourth. that evidence is in the
hands of the Civic League sufficient
to prove that When taken together
will show systematic and somewhat
successful attempt to manipulate the
jury lists for the benefit of certain
interested parties"
