CHURCH CENSUS
IS COMPLETED
Workers made a Canvass of
Entire City.
METHODISTS IN ASCENDEMCy
Most Prefer Doctrine Of that
Church.
Ministers of all Denominations now
Begin Thorough and Systematic
Canvass OF the Persons Reported.

Statistics show that the Methodist
church is the preference of more
than one half of the protestant peo-
pie of Marion This startling fact
has been revealed through the cam
vasslng of all the homes in the city
| by workers at the head OF the great
local evangelistic movement.
About three weeks ago, the minis
terial association decided to quietly
lplace soliciting committees from var
llous churches, in the field, to gather
certain facts which they believed
could be used to great advantage
before and after the union revival
services. The committees were in
structed to call upon every family in
the city and ascertain whether or not
the members were church members. II
not, why not. and If intending to join
church. what preferance.
These committees completed their
work Saturday, having visited prac-
tically every home in the city. The OBJ
ject of the canvass was to obtain e.
thorough record of the religious
standing of every resident of the
city. Where family informed the
committee that they preferred a GER
tain church, the name was placed In
the hands of the pastor of that con-
gregation. 1t will be his duty to call
upon this certain family and try to
induce the members to join his
church. Where a party declared that
he was member of a certain church
Ibut was dissatisfied, he was asked
what was his next perferance. Then
the pastor of the congregation which
he would mention, would be handed
his name.
The lists are being carefully classi-
fed. Those who expect to join church
soon and the hopeless ones, are plac-
ed in separate columns.
This movement is undoubtedly one
the greatest ever made by the
lchurches of Marion. To start out ana
take a complete cnsus of Marion Is q
big undertaking. but the churches
have attempted more. They not only
take the census but at the same time
|ascertained the religious conditions. If
the work is followed up in the man
ner intended by the ministers, great
deal of good will be accomplished.
When the classification is completed,
there will be endless work for the
ministers. They intend to make per-
sonal calls upon the families mention
ed in their list.
In covering the city, the church
workers declare that only a very few
infdels were discovered. There were
quite a few who declared that they
did not care to belong to any church
but few denied their belief in religion
1t has been disclosed that the
Methodists have remarkable possibili-
ties in the city, for future growth
The Presbyterian congregation was
the second preference shown by the
committee reports. AS a result of the
canvass, all of the churches in the
city expect TO greatly increase their
membership as the plan is believed to
result In remarkable success.

ENeLANp,s SAILOR KINGS

Though the navy is the senior service
of the Crown, though it has always
held high place in the affections of
the people, and though no sovereign of
England has ever been Indifferent to
its glory and it's welfare, yet it has
not often enjoyed the honor of having
educated and trained one of their
kings. Before the accession of our new
sailor king to the throne there had
been two sailor kings in our history.
1t is true that Edward II commanded
in person at the battle of Siuys, in 1910,
and at that of LES Espagnols sur
Mer," in 1885, and that in the later
conflict his two sons, the Black Prince
and John of Gaunt-the latter only a
boy of 10-fought under his command.
But on these occasions the king fought
not as sailor trained to the sea, but
as the supreme chief CT the armed
forces of the Crown.
Our two sailor kings proper were,
of course James II and William ".
Neither was a king of very felicitous
memory, but of James III this at least
may be said, that nothing in his career
became him so we'll as his conduct as
a naval officer. and that If he had
ruled his country as wisely as he ruled
the navy he would never have for
feited his crown. William ", again,
though he achieved no naval renown.
derived some of his best qualities from
his training and experience at sea-

RESTORES TRACTS TO
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
Lands Withdrawn in Connection
with Irrigation Projects
Reopened to People

WASHINGTON, July S.-The secre-
tary of the interior has restored to the
public domain several tracts of land
that had been withdrawn in connection
with the irrigation projects but that
are not needed now by the reclama-
ton service. The reservations of the
week include:
Boise land district, Idaho, 1890
acres, subject to settlement September
II and to entry October IT,
Phoenix land district, Arizona, 5000
acres, subject to settlement September
10 and to entry October 10.
The unappropriated public lands in
area eliminated from the Occur d'Alene
and Pen dOreille national forests in
Idaho by presidential proclamation will
become subject to settlement under the
homestead laws August % and to en-
try September 81.
About 5000 acres were eliminated, but
only about 1000 acres were unappro-
priated. The lands are located in Bon
ner, Latah and Kootenai counties.
An area eliminating from the Pecos
national forest, New Mexico, and
amounting to 1850 acres can be settled
on August is and entered September IA.
The lands are located in Santa Fe and
Rio Arriba counties.

The TheaterS

In his early days Charles Giblyn
was "small town" telegrapher and
could receive and send reports of local
train service in Morse about as good
as any of his fellow railroad operators.
This early training will stand him in
good stead next week when the Belasco
company will present Paul Armstrong
and Winchelrs play, Via Wireless"
The big scene in the play represents
the wireless room of a Ward liner en-
route from Porto Rico to New York
during a terrific storm. The wireless
operator picks up the c. d. Q. flash
from a private yacht that has struck
q reef and is sinking.
For fifteen or twenty minutes this
wireless room is the scene of about as
exciting happenings as have ever been
found on the stage. The chief figure
during this scene is a young wireless
operator, and while almost any teleg-
rapher could succeed with the straight
sending and receiving of the messages
the exigencies require an actor at once
forceful and experienced and at the
same time one who is thorough OPP
orator.
Frank Camp is also q "once was" OPP
orator, but while his activities with the
kew were confined solely to the Morse
system of dots and dashes, Giblyn
yesterday morning confessed TO a
knowledge not only of the Morse alpha
bet, but of the Continental as well, and
as the Continental is the most fire.
quently used in wireless work, the role
of the operator went to Giblyn and he
will have the distinction of playing the
biggest scene in Via Wireless with
out any of his Belasco associates on
the stage and with only the jump spark
from the instrument to keep him COM
pany during the scene, if one may
except very well regulated stage
yacht that rolls and lurches and losses
throughout the storm.
The local mail carriers have secured
the Tuesday night performance of
Via Wireless" at the Belasco for the
second of their series of benefit per-
formances to raise a fund to send dele
gates to the annual convention of mail
carriers. The local deliVerers of mail
confidently expect that the convention
in 1918 will be brought to Los Angeles.

ODD HOTEL BATHS

One of the many things that strike
the tourist as curious at Penang is the
type of baths with which the hotels are
provided. Penang is in the Straits Set
Elements, a British crown colony in the
Malay peninsula, deriving its name
from the straits of Malacca, which
forms the great trade route between
India and China. From each of the
first class rooms opens dark, cement
paved, damp smelling little room which
serves as the bath In it is an immense
lar of porous brown earthenware, about
five feet high, nearly three feet in di-
ameter in the middle, and but one and
one-half feet in diameter at the top.
In stands huge and graceful of outline,
but dark and uninviting, and is full to
the brim with water, not, however, to
get into. Near it is supply of SOFT
soap and a long-handled quart dipper.
The proper procedure is to soap the
body well, then throw several dippers
of water over it, repeating the process
until satisfied. There is water enough
to keep it up for an hour os so, and a
huge crash towel, as large as sheet,
to wrap up in when the bath is over

.EQUESTR|ENNE TO TRY
RIDE ACROSS COUNTRY
Montana Cowgirl Looking for a
Horse to Carry Her from
Pacific to Atlantic

Nan j. Aspinwall, a we'll known cow
girl and professional rider of Kalispell
Mont, has announced that she will
attempt to cross the continent from
San Francisco to New York city on
horseback starting September L.
Accompanied only by her pet Scotch
collie "Ka-ipp," the young woman pro-
poses to ride over the most direct route
from the metropolis of the west to the
metropolis of the east. She is in Los
Angeles now, making preparations for
her ride and incidentally looking for
horse that will stand the long journey.
Miss Aspinwall is undertaking the
trip, believing she will be able to sell
stories of her adventures to magazines,
and already, according to her state
ment yesterday, she has closed nego-
tiations with one magazine for articles
written by her describing the trip.
She proposes to start from San Fran
cisco, cross the Sierra Nevadas to
Reno, then go to Ogden and Denver.
She will proceed from there to Omaha
and Chicago and on to New York. She
will start in September in order that
she may have warm. temperate
weather in which to cross the Rockies
and cooler weather for the remainder
of the trip.
1t is possible that Miss Aspinwall
may select Los Angeles as a starting
point instead OF San Francisco. The
Out West club of this city has become
interested in her ride and she has been
invited to become member of that
organization. If she does this it is be-
lieved the club will influence her to
start from this city.
In making the trip in all probability
Miss Aspinwall will not try to break
any cross continent records, but will
take her time and visit as much of the
country through which she passes as
but 1t may be changed later to a speed
trial from Pacific to Atlantic.
Miss Aspinwall is an experienced
horsewoman. not only on the range but
also with "Wild West" shows. She
says she has no fear of accident to
herself on the ride, but desires to Sc
cure a horse that will be able to stand
the trip without mishap.
IF I do not get the right kind OF
horse soon" said Miss Aspinwall yes
terday at the Lankershim. IT will send
to my fathers ranch in Montana and
have one sent me from there. OF
course, on a trip like this. I must have
the best animal procurable-one that
will make the trip and still look well
when / arrive in New York city. Along
the route, If people are interested in
my stunt, I will give riding exhibit
tions. 1 would have issued riding chal-
lenges to women along the way If it
were not for the fact that I am Just
recovering from a broken leg, which
prohibits any such thing However, I
am always willing to meet any of my
sex in roping contest, and viii issue
challenges to that effect while en-
route"
Miss Aspnwall is only "a years old,
but has lived in the saddle practically
all her life. She is a pretty blonde
and not at all boastful about her ex-
ploits. She will leave for the north
Monday, but before that time probably
will decide whether she will start from
here or San Francisco.
