Congregational Meeting.


The annual congregational meet
ing of the Presbyterian church was
held Wednesday evening. 1t was
preceded by an elaborate banquet,
which was served by the Ladies' Aid
Society. Beside the large number
of members, many friends of the
church were present at the meeting.
In spite of the dull year in business
circles, the financial report was the
best made in the history of the
church. In round numbers, $4,000
was raised by the church and it's va
rious societies during the past twelve
months; $1,019 was sent to mis-
sions, which is the record for the
church. Exclusive of the paving as
sessment, the church is now entire
ly out debt, surplus of between
$500 and $400 being in the hands of
the various treasurers of the differ
ent societies, the most of which is
being held to complete fund for
redecorating the church building and
laying new carpet. Three of the
members have been called home dur
ing the year. In spite of the large
number of members who have moved
away and taken their letters net
gain of II members is reported. All
of the different societies connected
with the church made inspiring re-
ports, that of the Junior Endeavor-
ers calling forth great applause
The most enthusiastic thanks were
voted to the choir for their work.
The meeting also voted its apprecia-
tion of the splendid work of the
treasurer, c. B. Lamkin, and of the
clerk, o. c. Tiffany. The church re-
elected the outgoing class of elders.
G. w. Minis was reelected trustee
and William Carey also joins this
board. Cushman Cunningham was
elected treasurer, with l.. l.. Werth
as assistant, and o. G. Tiffany clerk.
After the treasurer reported the
church was out of debt everybody
felt so good that they began to ex-
tend votes of thanks all around
With a clean sheet the church faces
the new ecclesiastical year with a
light and joyous heart, and united
in making an advance all along the
line. After the moderator had en-
phasized the fact that all thanks
should be given unto the Heavenly
Father for His blessings during the
past year, the congregation rose and
sang "All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name" and was dismissed with the
benediction.

Marking Historic Spots.

Washington Post No city in the
world has more interesting historical
landmarks than Washington. The
capital of the United States has a
landmark for every mile of the
nations progress through war and
bloodshed and political changes to it's
present greatness.
Most of these historic spots were
marked for the convenience and in
terest of visitors during the inaug-
uration. The identification signs
were meant to be temporary, but
they should be made permanent.
Why should they be taken down?
There was not a visitor to Washing
ton who was not benefited and in
spired by the knowledge that he was
standing before a house made sacred
by association with Washington, JEFF
ferson, Lincoln or some other nation
al figure, or by association with
some epoch-making event in the
nations history
In nearly all other cities historic
places are market plainly, so that
the visitors does not have to go hunt
ing through the guide book. The
great value of plainly marking his
toric sites is found in the fact that
the chance passer-by may have his
attention directed TO the place, even
when he may not he looking for il.
The preservation of historic places
is not mere sentimentality. The pur-
pose is to keep patriotism alive and
to furnish an incentive to heroic
deeds. This purpose cannot be bet
ter serven than by marking perma-
nently the places hallowed by the
memory of great men and great
deeds.

What Worms Did to Esvnt

In an article in the current issue
of Farm and Fireside, showing the
good that birds and worms do to
soil, appears the following:
Investigations lately completed by
the British government in the Sudan
prove that the remarkable fertility
of the valley of the White Nile is
largely due to the work of cart. =
worms.
The castings-the earth which
passes through the digestive system
of the earthworms on one acre of
ground was found to be 239, $50
pounds in the six months active
growing season that the farmers OF
that country enjoy. Tiis means that
a lot of the subsoil has been brought
to the surface and also that the land
has been put in excellent condition
by the thorough aeration of the sol
made possible through the runway'
of the worms.

The Worlds Greatest Forests.


There is an immense and continu-
Gus tract of forest lying north of the
st. Lawrence river. in the provinces
of Quebec and Ontario, extending
northward to Hudson Bay and Lab
rador, a region measuring about
100 miles in length from east to
west and 1000 miles in width north
and south.
BY some it is held that much
larger continuous area of timber
lands exists in the state of Washing
ton and northward through British
Columbia and~Alaska. But this con-
tention is limite6 to North America,
for, it has been pointed out, there
lies a forest in the valley of the
Amazon embracing much of northern
Brazil, eastern Peru, Bolivia, Ecua-
dor, Colombia and Guiana, a region
at least 2,100 miles in length by
1900 in breadth.
Then, too, there must be consid-
cred the forest area of Central Afri-
ca, in the valley of the Congo, in
Guiding the headwaters of the Nile
to the northeast and those of the
Zambezi on the south. According to
reliable estimates, central Africa
contains a forest region not less than
5000 miles in length from north to
south and of vast although not fully
known width from east to west.
The question which continent pos
sesses the greatest forest, says Har-
pers Weekly, has been placed in an
other light by an explorer who is
competent to speak of still another
great forest region of the globe.
This authority has painted a vivid
picture of the vast pine, larch and
cedar forests of Siberia.
Siberia from the plain of the Obi
river on the west tC the valley of the
Indighirks on the east, embracing
the great plains or river valleys of
the Yenesei, Olenek, Lena and Yana
rivers, is one great timber belt, aver
aging more than a thousand miles in
breadth from north to south being
fully 1,700 miles wide in the Yen
esei district, and having a length
from east to west of not less than
5000 miles.
Unlike equatorial forests, the trees
of the Siberian traigas are mainly
conifers, comprising pines of several
varieties, frs and larches. In the
Yenesei, Lena and Olenek regions
there are thousands of square miles
where no human being has evel
been The long-stemmed coniferS

difficult.
The dense lofty tops exclude thu
pale Arctic sunshine, and the straigh
pale trunks, all looking exactly alike
so bewilder the eye in the obscurit.
that all sense of direction is sool
lost. Even the most experienced
trappers of sable dare not venture il
the dense taigas without taking tn
precaution of blazing" the tree
constantly with hatchets as the
walk forward. If lost there tn
hunter rarely finds his way out, bu
perishes miserably from starvatio
or cold. The natives avoid the taiga
and have a name FOR them which sig
nifies "places where the mind

MEN MEET
Have Banquet at G. A. r. Hall and
Take Steps to Organize Mems
brotherhood.

The Tidings reporter hesitated be-
fore writing the above caption as to
whether to write the last word
meet" or "eat." The latter was the
important feature of the event which
occurred at the G. A. R. hall We'd
nesday evening. The affair was
sort of a get-together meeting with
view to organizing a Mems Broth
erhood in connection with the Meth
odist Episcopal church of this city.
The banquet was very elaborate
affair. served in four courses, and
was furnished by the Vienna Bakery
and served by a very of beautiful
maidens. After the first three
courses had been disposed of, DR..
Gregg, who acted as toastmaster,
arose and said that in order to aid
in digestion and settle the dinner
there would be a season of talk be-
fore the finishing course.
The first speaker introduced was
Roy H. Bennett, assistant manager
of the Medford Grocery Company,
who spoke on the need and the ad
vantages of mems brotherhood in
church work. NJ. Bennett proved
very interesting speaker and his
remarks were received with hearty
applause.
Next on the program was Attorney
L. L. Hiscell of Medford, who told
of the brotherhood work at Billings,
Mont, where he was formerly To-
Gated.
Then followed another season of
feasting, ice cream and cake compris-
ing this portion of the menu. After
this treat Professor Briscoe warmed
up the assemblage with a strong talk
on the social side of life. Professor
Briscoe declared that the superinten-
dent of city schools should be an
honorary member of every mems
brotherhood in the city, that he
might get in touch with the men of
the town. He strongly urged the
organization of the proposed broth
erhood.
Dick" Posey then treated the as
semblage to a fine recitation and
was compelled to respond to an en-
core.
j. B. Ware was the next speaker
He told of brotherhood work in his
old home city of Grand Rapids,
Mich, and also urged the Importance
of the organization.
Homer Billings then spoke on "a
Boys job" and urged the need of
organized effort to give the boys
some part in the active church work.
R. j. Edwards spoke briefly and
to the point in favor of organization
along the proposed lines.
John Rigg spoke along the same
lines and advocated the organization
proposed.
DerI II. GTeer was next called
upon, and spoke Of the Bible and the
influence Of, its moral philosophy
upon the world. He closed by tell
ing a story which appealed to the
risibil' ties of the crowd.
Rev. l.. c. Poor was the last speak
er of the evening. He went into the
practical details of the business in
hand, and as a result the same COM
mittee which arranged the banquet
was continued to prepare and pre-.
sent constitution and bylaws and
to nominate officers. After secur.
ing the names of all present who
wished to become charter members
of the organization, the company
sang "Blest be the Tie that Binds
and were dismissed with benedic.
ton
There were nearly 100 men pres
ent, large percentage of whom will
become charter members of the pro
posed brotherhood
