Throckmorton, ShackeIford, Callahan
and Coleman counties, which is the
southern limit Of this diocese, then fol-
low the south and west boundary of
Oklahoma to the north limit of the Pan
handle. This line Will cut off from the
diocese of Dallas 81 counties, the area
of which is 59,945 square miles. with an
, estimated population of 1854
Within this territory we have the fol-
lowing in the way of organized work to
show: The Heavenly Rest at Abilene,
with stone church and comfortable rec
tory; the parish is self-supporting. All
Saints, Colorado, church and rectory
promises to be self-supporting in a
year; St Mary's, the Virgin. Big
Springs, church and rectory, promises TO
become self-supporting in a year; Holy
Cross, Baird, mission church, depend
ing on the Heavenly Rest, Abilene, for
ministerial care; St Andrews, Amar-
lilo, church and rectory, self-support-
ing parish; st. John, Baptist, Clarendon,
church and rectory, promises to become
self-supporting in a year; St. Michael
and All Angels, Shamrock, organized
mission with pretty church.
In addition to these, there are four
teen places asking for a church building
and ministerial services In each place
a grant OF $500 added 70 the gifts
Of the people viii secure the erec-
ton of a suitable church building. In
some of the places we have already Sc
cured suitable sites.
THE PAGES are as follows: Dalhart,
FarweN, Canyon City. Plainview. Lub-
book, Quanah, Childress, Stamford. Al
bany. Spur, Haskell. Snyder Coleman,
Ballinger, sum required $1,000. In addi-
ton to the funds necessary to secure
church buildings in these places it is
also imperative that at least three pres
byters be engaged to minister in spir-
itual things to the people | in these
towns. In order to support the clergy Il
Is necessary to provide a salary for each
OF at least $1,000 per annum
2 Here then is the practical problem
for YOUR consideration: How shall these
funds be provided? There are two
ways: Appeal to the general board
of domestic missions for the men and
the money TO do the work. Your bishop
is both able and willing to give the
necessary Episcopal supervision.
4 have repeatedly asked for the men
and the money to do this work. but so
far without success. I do not care to
repeat the experiment
The second way Is: Petition the gem
eral convention to set off this part of
the diocese as a new missionary district
70 be known as the missionary district
Of Abilene or Amarillo. as YOU NAV
elect, and to appoint missionary bishon
and staff of clergy to plant the church
of the living God therein"

with satisfaction, as he replied:

The sergeant consulted his back

Suddenly producing the revolver,
and holding it well under the light,
so that the rays from the electrolier

surface, he shouted:

Maloney.

JACK DUNN DROWNED.
Friend Attempts to Save Him Also
 Loses His Life.

The Arizona Republican of Monday ,st, has the following story of the drowning in the Colorado river, of Jack Dunn, the miner, who was well known in Nogales and Patagonia, this county:
 Robert Hamilton, who arrived from his ranch above Parker yesterday, brought the story of the drowning in day of Joe Perez of Phe nix and Jack Dunn, a miner. Though the wife and children of Perez are here now Perez had for long time been bar tender at Quartz Klng near the river few miles above Parker.
 On Sunday morning one of them made a proposal of swimming match in the Colorado and point was se- lected where the waters run exceed ingly swift Though both men were good swimmers, the onlookers regarded the proceeding as a dangerous one
 Dunn stripped first and, and select ing a point in the river to which he would swim, plugged into the water As soon as he reached the frrcer current it was seen that he was help less and he went down.
 By that time Perez was stripped He was not going to swim for wager but he called out as he was entering the water that. he was going to save Dunn. Before reaching the point where Dunn sank, he, too, went down. Neither was seen after that. Their bodiss have not been recovered and. will not be a peculiarity of the Colorado is that it dees not give up it's dead Nor are they carried to the sea, but pressed down by the weight of accommodating sand and silt, they rest heavily on the bottom and the eddying current cuts the sand from under them. letting them down deeper and deeper until they are buried below the action of the current.
 So light an object IS paper box will not float far on the rive.. It is quick ly weighted with silt and carried to the bottom. If the bottom of the river could be explored. those familiar with it believe the sands would be found filled with the bopes of men and animals that had perished in genera ton after generation.

Outsiders Take Notice.

Judge J. J. Chatham, of Nogales. says that the Benson Press is correct as to the best foupdatjon for a city being the culture of the soil. He says the subject is of general application. and he reads the paper with much interest every week for that reason. If prominent men in other cities take interest in reading details of our development along the various lines of agriculture it creates widespread confidence in the future substantial prosperity of Benson, and this will help counteract the eff,ct of persistent knocking which has worked against the town in te past. by keeping out capital Benson Press.
