The Mission to India.

Mr.. r. r. Galley, a foot ball hero OF
Princeton about ten years ago. best
known as Bob Galley was one Of the
earliest Y. NJ. C. A. workers in China, and
it now at the head Of the work at Tien.
tsfn. He has an intimate knowledge of
what is going on in japan and other parts
of the east also, and in reply to my in
quiries he writes:
THE idea of sending missionary repre-
sentatives of the Christian Church of
japan to India arose in connection with
the development of national feeling in the
latter country. The Hindus recognize that
Japan has come into the new regime and
has been accorded a conspicuous place
among the first-class powers of the world
largely through the influence of Chris
tianity. The national committee Of the
Y. NJ. c. A in Japan felt that. for the
sake of Christianity in India and for the
cause in general, 1t would be a master
stroke to send Japanese Christian men
to visit the leading educational and COM
mercial centers in India and give ad-
dresses on such themes as The Place of
Christianity in Japan Christian Infu-
ence in the Development of Japan and
The Necessity of Christianity in the Flu
ture Development of India

T. Harada, pastor of a Congregational
church in Kobe and chairman of the lat
est convention of what are called the
Kumiai churches-the native congrega-
tons Of Japan. He is graduate of Yale
and Is therefore familiar with work in
the United States. The other representa-
tive was Mr.. s. Motada, a graduate and
Phi. D. Of Johns Hopkins. president of a
government school at Toxic for training
officials, and a member Of the national
committee of Y. NJ. c. A. of Japan. He is
a very eloquent speaker and has a great
influence among young men. His work in
training officials for the government serv-
ice has been remarkably successful and
the authorities have never interfered with
or discouraged the exercise of Christian
influence and the Introduction of Chris.
tan moral teachings by him among its
future officials.

thusiastic reception and large hearing ir

Especial. IL. w. Gay, q third
owner in the Sydney group, located
on Pine creek, and adjoining the
Nabob on the east, came in from
that property Friday night and re-
ports one Of the most important
strikes yet made on Pine creek.
He says:
1--WE have uncovered five feet
of first class concentrating ore one
foot above bed rock without a
single blast. 1t is my opinion that
this is one OF the best strikes ever
made in the Couer d. Alene mining
district, in that the vein is solid
and above bed rock, I might say,
at the grass roots. The present
showing establishes a vein for the
Sydney OF not less than 1000 feet
in length. A picked specimen of

Convenient Conversation.
A meeting Of some OF the Tolo
farmers was held in that vicinity
last Friday for the purpose of or
ganizing Farmers Telephone
Co. The meeting was very en-
thusiastic one and resulted in the
company being organized and 5000

line. Arrangements were made for
securing material as SOON as posi-.
BILE. The contract for the erection
Of the line will be let to some one
familiar with this work. At pres
emit the line is to extend about ID
miles. Three wires will be placed
on the poles and about 45 farmers
will be connected, 10 on each line.
This in connection with other
farmer lines that are to be raise d
in the near future to pole lines
will make an excellent service for
Grangeville. The Pacific Company

Service Sunday Evening.

Methodists viii Hold SPECIAL
Service Sunday Evening.
Some seventeen years ago . few
struggling Methodists Of Grange
vile united their efforts in an
attempt to build in the midst Of
pioneer civilization q house of
worship where the word Of God and
His teachings might be explained
and instilled in the hearts OF those
who had become estranged from
Him. By much hard work and
many efforts modest little church
was erected where small congre-
CATION gathered on every seventh
day for worship. While debt of
5000 remained unpaid upon the
day Of dedication, to these pioneers
who were 90 bent upon an effort
to carry out this work for the bet
terment of mankind, that day must
have been one Of great rejoicing.
The church has grown and pros
pered and today sees it with per-
haps the largest membership Of any
denomination in the city. Through
persistency of their pastor, early in
February Of this year enough mon.
ey was raised to wipe out the en-
tire debt aud free the church from
any financial obligations. On next
evening, at 1880, in the
presence of three OF the original
trustees, Judge w. A. Hall, J. H.
Robinson and ]. +. Mclean, and
one OF the witnesses to the mort
gage that was executed some seven
teen years ago, Judge r. F. Fulton,
will occur the public burning OF
the instrument. Miss Margaret
Robinson, the first person to join
the church upon it's organization,
and Mre. Sophia Schmadeka, who
joined on the same date by letter,
will apply the torch.
A special musical program will
be arranged and services appro-
pirate to the occasion will be given.

MOUNTAIN ROADS
enthusiastic Meeting Held at
Elk City.
$4,000 Will Be EXPENDED
Plans Formulated for Securing
Appropriation.

A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held by the business men and
miners Of Elk City and vicinity
last week at the store OF the o. G,
Lapp Go. for the purpose Of devils
ing some manner Of raising the
necessary means to make she ap-
preparation Of the state for the
improvement OF the roads in that
section available. Much enthusi.
asm was in evidence and the people
OF that prosperous little city are
working a. . unit on the propo-
sition Of raising the IS, 100 neces.
sary to secure . like amount from
the state. Besides getting right
down to actual work and formula
ting plans to Be carried out at once
. vote Of appreciation was extern
ded TO those who were instrumen.
tai In securing the appropriation.
A committee WAS formed to
solicit funds from the citizens Of
the county and efforts will be made
to have . long list OF contributors
to present to the county commits
sicners ct their next meeting in
May. Men will DO selected to 40
licit aid in Grangeville, Sites,
Dixie, Orogrande, Buffalo Hump,
Clearwater, Newsome, Harpster
and other points in the county.
Hon. James Surridge was pres
ent 81 the meeting and besides
Offering many valuable suggestions
made the following explanation Of
the nature Of the measure.
His bill called for $4,000 for the
road, which is apportioned as fol.
lows:
$1,000 to the Elk City Orogrande
wagon road.
$1,000 TO Elk City-Di1ie wagon
road.
$4,000 to the Sites Elk City wa
gon road, from the junction Of the
main road with the Harpster road
to Elk City.
In addition to these amountr,
Mr.. Surridge explained that there
is state money from leases and
sales on forest reserves now in the
state treasury, in all $4,000. Idaho
c0unty's share of this is 5000.
The law provides that 70 per cent
Of such apportionment is to be ex-
pended for building and improve.

ing 20 per cent to 60 to the county
school fund. There 10, then, $500
available from this fund, making
the state appropriation to be used
on the roads, $1,000.
II will be seen that, taking out
the sum due from the forest reserve
fund, it will be necessary for the
mountain districts and the county
10 raise $500 to equal the state
bond appropriation. II the noun
tain Districts and the county do not
raise that amount then . sum will
be taken from the state appropria-
ton equal TO the sum raised by the
Districts and the county, and the
