Protestant Churches Gaining

While the Catholic religion is every
where prevalent, and in hundreds of COM
munities no member of any denomination
can be found, yet in the important cities
Professionalism is gaining a foothold. In the
capital, one may find Methodist, lEpisco-
pal and other Protestant denominations,
while a substantial number of Christian
Scientists have formed a congregation and
their doctrine is said to be winning many
converts. There are a great many mis-
sionaries in Mexico sent there by Protes-
tant denominations, and for the most part
they report substantial progress.
The Catholic church in Mexico refuses
to have anything to do with such non
sectarian organizations as the Young
Wolnen's Christian association. Only re-
Gently a number of English and Amaeri-
can women in Mexico City made an effort
to establish a branch of the Y. w. c. A.
there. Such prominent Mexicans as
former Ambassador Creel, and the pres
ent governor of the federal district. one
or the wealthiest and most progressive
men in the country. took part in the pre-
hmlinaries and it looked as if Mexico
would have a we'll equipped Y. w. c. a. In
a short time. AS soon as the archbishop
read of the participation of Catholic Ia
dies in the. movement he wrote them am
nouncing that he considered it their d,,tv
to drop out Of 1t, and that their connec-
loh with 1t was a scandal against their
good name. This letter started the t,res
of a sectarian discussion In the news
papers, In which the church claimed that
it was able to look after the affairs OF,
the catholic young women in Mexico. and
that the Y. w. G A, as well as the Y. NJ.
G. A., was q Protestant institution. The
discussion continued for weeks. but the,
Protestant women are hopeful that they
"ill yet nave the opportunity to establish
q Y. w. C. a.

The contest was Unexpectedly close

Not since the last banquet of the

which is sweeping over this con-
tinent and arousing unbounded en-
tnusiasm. AS one speaker expressed
ii, not since the days of the Cru

work. Men for Christ and the churci
is the slogan, and it is now, as it
alN ays has been, an inspiring theme
1t is attracting the brain, the
energy, and the financial support
CT the leaders in all walks of life,
and Emmett was fortunate in hav-
ing as the principal speaker at Fri

ed and worthy representative as
Harry Arnold of New York City,
man possessing oratorical powers,
logical reasoning, great magnet sm
and an enthusiasm for the cause
that fairly bubbled over and took
possession of his hearers.
The banquet itself, prepared by
the ladies of the Methodist church,
was the object of many compliment, s
Covers were laid for 100 and there
were only two vacant chairs. Z.

PEARL MINES TO START
OPERATIONS
Lincoln and East Lincoln
Properties Preparing for
Work this Winter

After a year of inactivity, things
are looking up in the Pearl min
ing camp and the outlook is bright
for the reopening of several min
ing properties and the employment
of large force of men. The build
ing of the Idaho Northern extension
the assurance Of a smelter at Nam
pa and a probability OF another in
the Horseshoe Pend country are
pronounced factors in renewal of
activities in that promising camp.
As a starter it is announced that
the well known Lincoln and East
Lincoln mines will begin work at
once with full crew. The work
OF pumping out the Lincoln
and making repairs is already un-
der way. The mill is also being
repaired and will be operated to
its full capacity. This is one of
the best and richest mines in the
camp. Owing to financial difficult
ties it has been closed for several
years, but positive assurance is nov
given that the owning company has
ample fumes ard that it will be
operated continuously. When the
mine shut down an immense body
of rich ore had been blocked out,
and the mill can begin turing out
concentrates at once.
Announcement of a definite char
acteer is also made that the inves
tigaticn of the business af airs
of the Whitman company, which
caused a shut down of the Whit
man mine and mill a few months
age, has been concluded and that the
work will be resumed on that
property the first of the year.
Altogether, things look bright for
our neighbors at Pearl. They have
had their ups and dOwns-mostly
downs for several years-but in
dications are now that they are
coming into their own. Here's hop
ing, anyway.

Hyde explained that no change had
been made; that the four-party line
service was unsatisfactory and this
was to be changed to two-party
line service at the regular rate,
which is % cents per month more
than the four-party service.
Very little business outside OF
the routine run was transacted.
