THE PROSPECTS

Hugh Molyneauy, tho Northern British Columbia road commissioner arrived in town yesterday from the Rainy Hollow country and left on this mornings train for his home .a ArlGu. He is always good for a timely aud interesting story when eyer he strikes skasway, and it w.s therefore with a feeling of certainty that reliable information would he forthcoming that a rep ~csenta-lye of this paper asked for the latest news of the new placer strike which was reported to have been made on the lNehiui river a - lew weeks ago.
 Nr Molyueaux said. "I do not wish to be quoted as having given aa eNne.t.s opinion on the outlook for .ae new strike, as mining Is al- tase.a.r out of my line of business, and no matter how competent might be to judge of the possibili- lies of future development there -us not been enough work done to 5us-..y me in making a report either for or against
 The strike was made on the NIehtm river. about four miles north of Pleasant Camp, and for ten miles along tha. stream above discovery good prospects of fine gold have been found, but not in sufficient quantities to amount to .uytataE unless it becomes more abundant

little or no outlay of funds He gives figures charging extravagant sums spent for salaries, in some cases he
 charges such sums to be G per cent Of
 all money received for the work
 Presbyterian leaders who defend
 their home board from these savage at
 lacks assert that the general assembly heard all of these charges last year and refused to believe them. They say that more than loo presbyteries have asked that the department of country
 fife be continued, and that no work has heen done by the home board save in
 cooperation with the presbytery hav- Ing jurisdiction. As to the rumor that the Rev Dr. Thompson may resign at the assembly this year. they state that such rumor has obtained for some years. the secretary being considerably past 70 years of age. and that whether he resigns now or not. there will be no connection between that act and these
 attacks.
 The charges of bossism are stoutlv denied. and so are those that more than half of all money received is
 expended on salaries. It is claimed I that local presbyteries cannot do the general work without aid. The con ] ,roversy, raging now and likely to ] grow worse. seems to be a clash be-
 tween local and general authorities. Similar clashes have come over home 1 mission boards in other religious bod . ! les, usually with the result that the | local bodies win out. As just noted everybody predicts for the next gen
 cral assembly hotter TOW than ii
 has seen for years.

CHURCHES OBJECT
 TO DANIELS' PLAN

Churches are objecting strenuously to Secretary Daniels latest proposal that the number of chaplains in the United States navy be increased by only 12. while 40 welfare secretaries are to he provided for. The protest Is voiced by the federal council. through It's new Washington bureau that has Dr. II. K. Carroll at its head. and members of churches everywhere arc urged by the council to write Senate and House naval committee members registering their dissatisfaction.
 Chaplains in-the navy are no more numerous today with 6i,ooo enlisted Dnen than they were years ago with 1 :, 900 men. The council set out to have the number increased to 6i. of a chap lain for each 1000 men. Secretary Dan iels urged six months ago that hte gov ernment provide for 40 chaplains and 10 welfare secretaries. Now he Is said to have abandoned the large chaplain increase. but retained the secretary one. The objection from the churches Is to the laymen. They say there ought to be ministers.
 The idea of the welfare secretaries comes from the Y. NJ. C. A, but the as- sociations declare they had nothing to 6o with recommendation of the plan. and are not now pushing it. It seems to have been made by Secretary Dan- iels on his own account. Churches in sist upon the full number of new chaplains and adds that after they have been provided welfare secretaries may also be provided if the govern ment so decides. The welfare secretary plan in the navy was started about three years ago, and two such secre- taries. both furnished by the Y. M c. A., are now on battleships. They do work similar to association secretaries on land. The proposition of 12 addi- tional chaplains and 40 welfare secre- taries is now pending.

PRESBYTERIAN HOME
 MISSION BOARD ATTACKED

Backed by some of the most promi- nent of Presbyterian leaders in both west and east, the Rev. l. L. Weaver of Colorado, a member of the general as sembly executive commission, attacks in new forms the board of home mis- sions of his own church. charging Ii with eXtravagance in administration. with disregard of the last assembly : plain instruction. with bossism and ignorance of fields in the west, and spreads the rumor that the secretary for many years, the Rev. pr. Charles l.. Thompson, will present his resigna ton at the approaching assembly. This secretary is, by the way. the chairman of the home missions council, and one of the best known home mission lead CTS in America.
 The Rev. Dr. Weaver is authority for the statement that the board asked the executive commission at its sitting just held for s600.000 to spend next year, and included in this budget s11a.o00 to pay for work ordered discontinued hs the last assembly. He states that. find ing stout opposition, the board hastily revised it's budget and asked for but S425, 900 Thereupon. so the Colorado member says, the commission referred the budget back to full commission siemb ership. leaving the amount to go to the assembly at the lower figure. The Presbyterian home board has some secretaries for field work, and the claim is made that they disrega rights of presbyteries. The board has aiso department of country life, aim- ing to teach country ministers to be of larger service to rural communities The Colorado leader declares the de- partment more than useless. it's s50,- coo a year waste of money. and that presbyteries are in position to dc better work. being on the spot, with
