LARGE CONGREGATION
AT THE GOSPEL TENT
Sunday Night Services Attracted the
Largest Congregation Yet Assembled


On Sunday night Evangelist Evers
addressed the largest congregation that
has yet assembled in the Gospel Tent,
corner of Irby Ave and Earle street.
Ills subject was THE Origin. Histor.
and Destiny of Satan"
AS Scripture text after scripture
people sat in rapt attention and at the
conclusion of the discourse many de-
clared it to be the most remarkable
sermon they ever listened to.
The Evangelist said in part, that Sa-
tan was created by God, an angel of
light, was given the most exalted po-
sition of allcreated beings, but was
not satisfied with his position and de-
sired to be like God and rule on His
throne.
He rebelled against God and His
breaking the law of God, he was cast
out of heaven. He came to this earth
and through deception caused our first
parents to sin and thereby lose the
dominion given them by God. For six
thousand years Satan has carried on
this war against Gods government by
deception, until, as the Apostle John
says by the inspiration OF God: The
whole world lieth in wickedness'. The
evangelist further stated that while
Satan was now the prince of this
world yet the time world come when
that which was spoken oy the prophet
Ezekiel would come TO pass: Thou
hast defiled thy sanctpartse by the null
titude of thine ;niQutttes. by the ini-

BANKERS SENTENCE
COMMITTED BY WILSON

Newberry Banker has Sentence Re-
duced to One Year and Day.
Washington, July 11.-President Will
son today commuted to one year and
day the fiye-year sentence of Mil
ton A. Carlisle, convicted at Green
Vile, S. c., October 26, 1910, of misap-
plication of the funds of the National
Bank of Newberry, s. c., of which he
was formerly president. Carlisle, who
is 73 years old, has not yet served any
of his term and the President COM
muted the sentence with the privilege
of reconsideration at any time 1t ap-
peared that continued Imprisonment
would dangerously impair the prison
er's health.
Carlisle was indicted on 162 counts
and acquitted on all except five. An
investigation by the department of
justice indicated, 1t is said, that OF
the five counts he was probably gull
ty on only two, involving less than
5000. Officials of the department of
justice say that the bank lost about
$4,000, but Carlisle was not held re-
.sponsible for the entire loss. Friends
Of the prisoner wanted him pardoned
on account of his age. The trial Judge
and district attorney recommended a
communication to fifteen months.

MIXING. OF STAPLES
JEOPODlZE VALUE
English Spinners File Complaint
Against Practice of Mixing Different
Staples I'm Cotton Bales.

Against Practice Of Mixing Different
Staples I'm Cotton Bales.
Washington, July 12.--Secretary
Houston, of the Department of Agri-
culture received protest today from
the Manchester (England) Cotton AS
sociation against the practice certain
American ginners have OF mixing
various stapel cottons in the same bale
"You will appreciate" says the let
ter of protest, "the serious conse-
.puences that this growing practice
must have upon the quality of the
American crop, thereby effectively re.
ducing it's monetary value"
Secretary Houston is urged to make
representations to the cotton eX-
changes of the South, asking them to
inform the ginners of the necessity of
keeping different seed cottons of va
rlous staples separate and not to gin
different qualities together.
AT the department 1t was pointed out
that the trouble was due largely to the
disinclination of the American ginner
to take the time after ginning one kind
of cotton to clean out the ginning ma
chine before he introduced another sta
pie. 1t was said that the value OF a
bale Is often lessened from $1.5O to $4
by resultant mixture of grades.
1t is pointed out that cotton mer-
chants sample from each side of the
hale, and rate 1t by the worst side SO
that the mixture of the cotton in the
first layer of bale would result in
such bale being rated "miXed" where
as probably only 10 or 20 pounds of it
might be mixed staple. Even If the
second run of cotton is short staple.
it loses in value by having the first
layer mixed with any other kind.
The department urges particularly
apon cotton growers to limit their cot
ton growing to one variety or else
provide themselves with seed cotton
storage houses in which cotton OF a
single staple Is stored Where storage
houses are used, the cotton produc er
can take large quantity at one time
to the gin and be certain it will not
be mixed with previous runs, Where,
however. he takes only n small guam
tity of cotton at time, all these bales
may have first layer of mixed cot
ton.
IL also urges upon colt IN pr ,ll,Cers
that If they can not provide them
selves with seed cotton storage houses
and gin large quantities at time, to
insist that the ginners clean out the
OF previous cotton before ginning new
cotton.
This would probably cost the gin
ner loss of time of about $40 day,
but where frequent changes in cotton
are run, the losses to the producers
NAV we'll amount to $50 or more day.
The presence of a mixed first layer
in cotton bales is found particularly
serious in time when cotton is plen-
tiful. When cotton is scarce, cotton
merchants are not so particular, but
when cotton is plentiful they use the
presence of mixed layer as a weap-
on to lower the price paid for the
entire bale. The loss to the producer
In this way is very heavy.

Protest AsaiTst the Prac-
tiCe of Mixing the Staples.
AMERICAN GINNERS
~ CAN REMEDY CUSTOM
Through the Department of Agricul-
ture They are Urged to be Careful
In the Matter of Mixing Grades,
Whereby Producers May be Protect
ed from Loss.

Washington, July 15.-'Secretary
Houston of the department of agri-
culture, received a protest from the
Manchester (Eng.) Cotton Association
against the practice certain Ameri-
can ginners have of mixing various
staple cottons in the same bale. This
fact was stated in a brief dispatch
Saturday afternoon.

ter of protest, "the serious conse
quences that this growing practice
must have upon the quality of the
American crop, thereby effectively re-
ducing 1t momentary value"
Secretary Houston is urged to make
representations to the cotton ex-
changes OF the south, asking them to
inform the ginners of the necessity
OF keeping different seed cottons Of
various staples separate and not to
gin different qualities together.
At the department 1t was pointed
out that the trouble was due largely
to the disclinatlon of the American
ginner to take the time after ginning
ginning machine before he introduc-
ed another staple. 1t was said that
the value of bale is often lessened
from $3.50 to 81 by resultant mix
ture of grades.
1t is pointed out that cotton mer-
chants sample each side of the
bale and rate 1t by the worst side, SO
that the mixture of cotton in the
first layer would result in such bale
being rated mixed" whereas prob
ably only ten or twenty pounds of 1t
might be mixed staple. Even If the
second run of cotton Is short staple,
it loses in value by having the first
layer mixed with any other kind.
The department urges particularly
upon cotton growers to limit their

duct can take large quantity at one
time to the gin and be certain 1t will
not be mixed with previous runs.
Where, however, he takes only small
quantity of cotton at time all these
bales may have first layer of mixed
cotton.
1t also urges cotton producers that
it they cannot provide themselves
with seed cotton storage houses and
gin large quantities at time, to in
sist that the ginners clean out the
ginning machine and take the old roll
OF previous cotton out before ginning
new cotton. This would probably cost
the ginner loss of time of about
$40 a day but where frequent changes
n cotton are run the losses to the
producers may we'll amount to $50
or more day.
The presence of mixed first layer
in cotton bales Is found particularly
serious in times when cotton Is plen-
tiful. When cotton is scarce, cotton
merchants are not so particular, but
when cotton Is plentiful, they use

lqcer in this way is very heavy.

SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year in Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly $19,000,000 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, ac-
cording to the fourth annual statisti-
cal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorjum and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the
total, amounting to nearly $16,8O0, 900.
This is an increase of nearly St, OO0,-
900 over the same group of expendi4
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over $765,OOO, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over 100000. Over $415, 1000
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Official, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance of institutions, which are
included in the other totals, amount
ed to $280,O00. In addition to these
figures, about 100000 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
buttons in caring for their tuberculosis
inmates.

BROKE OUT IN HEAT RASH

S22 Georgia Ave-, East Nashville,
Tenn.-"My baby was about two
months old when he began to break
out in small red pimples like heat
rash, afterward turning into testers.
They gradually spread until his little
head, face, groins and chest, his head
being most affected, became a mass
of sores with a great deal of corrup-
ton. 1t became offensive and gradual
~ grew worse. I kept a white cap on
him to keep him from scratching, it
seemed to itch so badly. It made him
cross and his chest and groins would
often bleed. -,.
Nothing seemed to help it, and
had almost come to the conclusion
that my baby's case was hopeless,
when hearing of the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment, decided to try it.
I noticed at once that baby rested bet

MAY BRIDGE OVER
 SEYMOUR NARRONS

Vancouver, Jan. S=The route of the Canadian Northern railway development on Vancouver island has been approved by the minister of railways. It calls for the build Ing of 27O miles of road extending from victoria at the south of Noot- ka sound to the north on the west coast. Contrary to the route fol- lowed by the Esquimalt and Nan aimo, and the c. P. R. system on the island, the plans are for in- terior development and will open up a very wealthy portion of the island not now provided with any transportation facilities.
 A significant incident in connect ion with the route map is that the plans call for an extension from .he main line at Campbell river to Duncan bay, near Seymour Narrows. This branch line seems to lend credence to the much mooted idea that the c. N R. intends to bridge Seymour Narrows at Butte Inlet and build inland to some point connect ing with the main line south Of Tete Jauns Cache, thus making through route from the east Co Vic toria on it's own rails. IT these plans materialize to definite an- nouncement, the c. N. R. win en- counter violent opposition on the part of the mainland, headed by Vancouver, which does not propose to lose It's strong strategic position as the natural terminal Of the do- minion on the Pacific coast. While the seymour Narrows bridge has been talked of for years, it has never taken concrete shape to at- ford a basis for an attack
 The c. N. R. are urged Co con- clude negotiations with the city in regard to False Creek terminals if it expects to get the proposals be- fore the electorate in time for ,he municipal elections on Jan. 9.

from Point Barrow, while prospect ing along the beach of Boring Sea in July, discovered a high cliff Of gravel the strata of which 1t was decided had been piled in that lofty way by icebergs.
 Waves had washed away gravel leaving the framework of a prim- tive house partly uncovered. The remarkable dwelling was well pre- served in the gravel. The roof was made of the ribs of an immense whale or some mammoth beast long ago extinct. The rafters, from 20 to 30 feet long, were set to cen ter column of rocks after the fash ion of an umbrella. Over this framework skins had evidently been stretched. The gravel was washed in. so gradually that many of the ribs scarcely moved.
 Convinced of the primitive na- ure of the dwelling because of the fact that there are no such bones seen anywhere in the northern tundra. the men began digging to see what lay on the floor and were successful in unearthing a stone hatchet weighing 27 pounds, a stone knife. or skinning knife, fash toned like the modern drawknite of the wood worker, and a bodaka' or boat bailer, a rock shaped like trough.
 The utensil and tools were car ried back to Point Barrow and af- terward brought to Seattle by MT Maxwell, but the bones were too bulky to be moved. They are in a well protected spit and an ex- petition will attempt next summer to bring them and such other ar ticles as may be unearthed to the States for the purpose of installing in the university museum the house as 1t stood in the primitive ages
 The immense bones under eighty feet of gravel and the stone tools warrant the conclusion that they are of the remotest antseuty.-Ex. Send the Daily Alaskan to the states
