TO SAVE OLD CHURCH
PLACE WHERE WASHINGTON
WoRsHlPPED.
Historic Meeting House Made Sacred
by Memories Of Distinguished
Americans to BE Pre-
served

There is increasing disposition on
the part OF patriotic Americans to pre-.
serve historic buildings and places,
and mark them with suitable me-
mortal tablets, or turn them into mu-
seums and parks. II is but recently
that the body of James Wilson, one
Of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, was disinterred and
placed in the burial ground of Christ
church, Philadelphia, under the very
shadow of the hall where the docu-
ment was signed, and now there Is &C
tive movement on foot to discover the
graves Of every one of the signers and
to mark them with suitable tablets.
Everywhere through the eastern part
of the country where the early history
of the nation was made there Is a
growing tendency TO discover new and
interesting places that were inter
woven in the lives of the early patri-
OTIS, and the latest development in this
direction has been the efforts Of Rev.
e. S. Somerville, of Falls Church, Va,
to obtain means to restore the historic
Falls church, of which he is rector
This old building is one of The land
marks of the country, and its early
history is intimately associated with
that of Augustine Washington, George
Washington, George Mason and other
distinguished Americans. Rev. Somer-
vile, because of his official connection
with tho oh,trcb ,.roe 20 p,i1;ar with its
early history and realized it's value as
one of the historic spots of the nation.
He became active in efforts to interest
others in preserving the building and
made a trip to Washington where he
presented the matter to the trustees
of the American Scenic and Historic
Preservation society.
The importance of his suggestions
were instantly recognized and a reso-
luton was passed indorsing his efforts
to obtain means to restore the build
ing to its old time condition, and un-
doubtedly the money for this purpose
will be forthcoming.
Falls church is situated not far from
Mount Vernon, about six miles from
Washington and ten miles from Alex
audria. 1t is an oblong structure of
brick, laid up in Flemish bond, and is
an interesting specimen of colonial
architecture. Its two rows of windows
were evidently designed to illuminate
an interior gallery, but no gallery was
built. The walls, two or three feet
thick, are crumbing at the top; the
cornice is rotting and the interior is
sadly dilapidated This condition is a
modification to the rector and parish
toner's, whose meager resources have
been exhausted and they are appeal
ing to patriotic sentiment in the north
TO help them put their house of wOr-
ship in creditable condition for Vir-
ginia's tri-centennial year, 1907
Falls church-sO called from the
neighboring Little Falls of the Poto-
mac-was built about 1874. George
Washington and George Mason were
among it's vestrymen. Augustine
father of George, NOM
mated to the vestry its first rector, in
1886.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Industry and Economy Will Put
Wealth Into the Pockets of
Our Farmers.

There are few people in the Inland
Empire who fully comprehend what
the near future has in store for the
dwellers of this expanse of wonderfully
productive soil crowned with a health
giving climate. 1t seems as though
nature, in her benevolence for the
wants OF man, had leveled the noun
tains, sent the sparkling waters from
the nearby mountains dancing across
this garden spot of the northwest, and
enriched its surface with soil SO rich
that the tales of its productiveness
seem like legends from fairy land.
This empire of untold agricultural
wealth is surrounded with many leagues
of mountainous country covered with
marvellous forests Of timber, under
meath which is body Of mineral wealth
that is we'll nigh everlasting. What more
could nature have done to make this the
most favored place throughout all the
length and breadth of the land?
From all directions in this circle OF
once unbroken wilderness comes the
sound of the ak, shovel and pick, and
already, though in its infancy of de-
velopment, marvellous proofs Of the
hidden wealth is sufficient to excite
the wonder Of the civilized world.
Villages and cities are springing up
and the echoing voices of civilization
are coming from every point OF the
compass. The mountain gorges are
fast becoming bee-hives of industry.
This vast army of wealth producers
are non-producers Of the necessaries of
life. All their wants must be supplied
from outside sources. The rich lands
OF the Inland Empire will socn be
taxed to its utmost to supply surplus
sufficient to meet the wants of this
fast increasing army of toilers. The
certain increase in demand for all farm
products will surely advance prices and
send land values to unthought Of
| figures.
The whole northwest is the market,
and the agricultural lands of the Co
lumbia basin is the principal supply
point. Is it a wild stretch of the i'm
agination to see the inhabitants of this
favored section of the Northwest en-
joying unprecedented prosperity in the
near future? If YOU do not, it will be
from your own fault. All you have to
do is to keep up with the times and
be reasonably economical and industri-
Gus. The opportunity is before you a:

THOUGHTS ON CANVAS
Anger, Love, Jealousy, Hatred in
Photographs Thrown on Can
vas by TheOsOphist Prof.

A large audience listened to the sec
ond stereopticon lecture last night by
Prof. Heinbel at the Theosophical Hall.
Thought Forms in the Building of
Character" was the subject. Lantern
views showing the shapes of the
thoughts of hatred, jealousy, anger,
love, ect., were displayed. The speak
er said in part:
Theosophy holds that men are
literally gods in the making; that each
has within him potentially all the attri-
butes of Deity; that these are being
slowly developed by the process of
evolution; that among other things he
is evolving will power; and that man as
he stands today is not the result of
either his environment, or his will, but
of evolutionary forces OF which one
factor is his will, plus his environment,
acting and reacting upon each other.
1t holds that man is moving forward
with accelerating speed and the very
gist of the idea is that the rapidity ol
his evolution depends upon his own
efforts. Seattle Times.

AN HONEST LAW MAKER
Representative F. 7. Wyman Has
Laid Down Course Of Action
That is COmmendabIe.

Representative Frank T. Wyman,
of Ada county, is giving fine illus
tration of an honest lawmaker. In
these days of gratis and bTibes his acts
shine as beacon light to the mariner
in a storm. His conscience is his
standard of action, and its value to him
cannot be measured by dollars and
cents.
The law abiding people of Idaho will
do well to not forget Mr.. Wyman, as
it may be eminently proper to indicate
your appreciation of his manly act by
presenting him higher position when
the opportunity offers. The following
from Boise paper explains the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Wyman:
'Ore of the most interesting develop
ments of the present session is the
resignation of Representative Frank T..
Wyman of Ada as attorney for the Ore
gon Short Line, this being result OF
the campaign waged here by the Short
Line against the railway commission
bill.
Mr.. Wyman was disposed to oppose
the bill when the session began. In
fact, had he been called upon at that
time to vote on the measure the vote
would have been cast in opposition.
He felt that the reasons against the
plan rather overbalanced those in its
favor While he recognized the right
of the state to exercise such control as
is proposed, and while he felt that such
control would be needed in Idaho al
some time, he was not convinced the
time had come to enact such
legislation.
Subsequent events caused Mr.. Wy
man to change his mind, however
A very active campaign was started by
the railway people against this legis
lation and Mr.. Wyman became con
vinced that improper methods were be-
ing employed. In the house a pas:
was sent to the clerks desk by Nc
Cracken, author of the anti-pass bill
just at the time the measure was com
ing up for action, with the statemen
that it had been handed him the nigh
before; furious fight was made
against the governor in the wool grow
ers' convention on the issue of railway
regulation, and another fight was made
against him in connection with the in
vestigation of the coal shortage. I'm
der these circumstances Mr.. Wymar
became convinced it was time to ac
on railway control, and changed hi
attitude. AS he expressed it, such
course was demanded of him on hi
oath as a member and in defence 0
the dignity of the state"
He is leader of the insuuectionist
in the house, and he has followed W
his action in connection with matter
in controversy by forwarding his resig
nation as attorney for the Short Lin
company"
