Baracas' Fourth Annual Banquet,
+++++*++*+ *+++++ < + 1

The Ross Moore Memorial Baraca Class of the First Baptist Church gave it's fourth annual banquet at
 he First Baptist church last night. The banquet was not only one of tho most successful ever given by the Baracas, but one of the largest and most elaborate rendered in the city for great while. The immense gathering carried with it profound sincerity of love and esteem for the beloved deceased pastor, Rev. Ross Moore, and also presented an air of magnificence and splendor. The Ross Moore Baraca Class, as it is known throughout the city and state, was founded four years ago by the late Rev. Ross Moore, former pastor of the church. From small class the assemblage of last night grew with the tender care and teachings of the deceased pastor until at the preSent it is one of the largest in the state and also ranks among the first in the south. At the death of Rev. Moore the teaching and up- building of the class fell to Rev. Selsus B. Tull, who succeeded in the pastorate work of the church. and here the class fell into the hands of most efficient and careful teacher, who put forth every effort in the task of forever sustaining the noble work of the former beloved pastor by large and enthusiastic class of Baracas as a material part of the church for which he has given his sole life to care. The organization of the class was in April four years ago. For the banquet last nigh+ the church was handsomely decorat- ed in the colors of the class, purple and white From the large cluster of lights in the center of the audi torium streamers in the tone of the class colors stretched and sWayed to the walls on all sides, while on the walls and in other convenient places green ferns and palms gave re- freshing touch to the decorations. Vases on all the tables were filled with violets and white flowers car rying out the color scheme Along the wall between the church audi torium and Sunday school room, where the banquet occurred, long table was prepared for the speakers and notables of the occasion. Above the speakers table, on the wall, was a large portrait of the former pastor and founder of the class, Rev. Moore, and this was surrounded by the mot toes used by the class. The portrait of the idolized pastor brought mem ories of his noble life to every Ba- raca present who knew him, and who held him in highest esteem, while just beneath his image, was a charter presented to the class, which made them members of the World Wide Baraca Union This was one of the most pleasing features of the evening. It seemed to look forward into the history of the class under a new distinction, and as the members gazed upon it enthusiasm for the work of the class mingled with well earned pride in every thought of it's

To the R. F. D. Patrons.

Postmaster ]. M. Repass has re-
ceived circular letters from the
Postoffice department directing
him to notify the patrons of the
rural free delivery route of the
absolute necessity of maintaining
the roads in good repair if the
service is to be continued. Where
mprovements in roads and bridges
are necessary they must be made
as soon as practicable and if, after
a reasonable time has elapsed, the
improvements have not been made,
the department will take action
looking to the discontinuance of
the service.
The department also desires
that the postmaster, by publication
IN the local paper or otherwise,
earnestly request patrons of the
rural delivery to paint their boxes
and posts to which they are at
tached pure white, thus giving
them uniform and neat appear
ance. Patrons are also asked to
imprint their names and box mum.
bers on boxes in black block letters
about inches high. 1t is desired
that posts to which boxes should
be attached shall be set in an
easily accessible position at the
side OF the road and boxes securely
fastened to a projecting arm Of
wood; or to bracket of band iron.
or, If preferred, an automatic ex-
tension arm may be used.

SOMEBODY in Spokane G

SOMEBODY in Spokane or
CEur d'Alene, or both places has
evolved a scheme for building a
fine macadamized road between
the two places, 81 miles in
length. Good roads are needed
III some parts OF the country
and the scheme is probably
alright as far as that goes; but
from this distance it would seem
that this road is intended only
to benefit the automobile people
OF C9ur d'Alene and Spokane.
That is alright, too, but for one
thing. 1t is said the legislatures
OF Washington and Idaho will
be asAe | to assist in the work,
from which it is to be inferred
that all the people Of the two
states will be asked to pay for
Il luxury, and the automobile
owners will reap the benefit.
This proposed thoroughfare will
parallel two railroad lines. II
the states have money to spend
on roads, let it be spent where
transportation facilities are
really needed.

THE manner in which Golfers
Weekly and some other publica-
lions are exposing Secretary
Ballinger's past record seems to
Indicate that the man is as
CLAWS has said,-an unsafe, dan
gerous and enthusiastically
official. Golfers makes the
charges boldly, giving names,
dates and places, and does not
seem to fear a suit for libel
should Ballinger take such a
step. Under the law publishing
the truth about a man IS not
libel, and Golfers is publishing
things about Ballinger as if they
were the truth and can be
proven. Ii what Golfers saws,
is true, Ballinger is not a fit man
for secretary of the interior or
any other Office of trust and
honor.

conditions which he could not accept

make capital out of the incident.
thus angering Mr.. Roosevelt and
causing him to cancel a reception at
which he was to have met the Metho-
