TALKS
IN FAVOR OF
PROHIBITION

Speaking before large aud
ience at the mems meeting of the
Y. w. c. A. yesterday afternoon,
Governor Ernest Lister devoted
n large portion of his time to the
subject of prohibition, declaring
that when the statewide prohibit
ton question comes up for settle
ment in Washington, citizens
should consider it as moral
question and not a political one.
His talk indicated him as taking
stand of almost emphatic ia
voritism for the prohibition
movement. The governor spoke
also of his "honor camp" for con-
victs, now in operation on Hoods
canal. He declared that the ex
pertinent was proving an admir-
able one, and that he would ex-
tend the system as rapidly as was
feasible.

HISTORY OF
ROAD

First Congregational church
was filled yesterday for the spe-
cial services commemorating the
10th anniversary of the coming
of the first Northern Pacific train
to Tacoma. Most interesting,
probably, of all the addresses,
was that of George T. Reid, as
sistant to the president of the
railroad, who outlined the ire
mendous growth of his road from
the day in 1873 that the first To-
connective pulled into Tacoma with
a passenger train, to the present
time. S. N. l.. Penrose, presi-
dent of Whitman college, made
an interesting talk. Rev. MUIR
dOch Mcleod opened the service,
aud the program closed with
prayer by Bishop Kcator and
benediction by Rev. Dyer.
