the New Willard last night.
DR.. Foulkes. who is accompanied BY
Prof. James F. Ewing. has been visiting
churches in the East with a view 70
gathering ideas and plans for a model

which he is the pastor. Intends to erect
In the near future.

he added. 1T is my belief that Taft will
be nominated and elected, and will carry
out the policies Of President Roosevelt
Il believe we have just as fine church
structures out West as we found in the
East where we visited nearly forty
churches" DR.. Foulkes continued THE
religious spirit in our State is healthy and
strong. There are many people. though.
who come out 10 Oregon and settle down
and keep their religion in their pocket
until they are successful in business, when
they join the church. On the whole how
ever, we have nothing 10 complain OF.
Although we have quite Chinese and

have had any trouble with them. Some

was formed in Portland, and the man at

able foreign name that the movement al

name.

Prohibition Is making great Roadway
in Oregon, and I believe II is OF great
benefit from an economical as well as
from moral standpoint. 10 those COM
munities which decide to disassociate
themselves from the liquor evil Il has
often been said that dry towns are net
as progressive and prosperous as those
which have licenses. / can say from an
experience extending over many years
and much personal observation, that this
is not the case. We have many dry
towns and cities in Oregon, and they ara
