piled by the Massachusetts, board and q
| system of assessment on the churche:
would be inaugurated. While the minis
ters favor the idea, there was hesitation
as to it's adoption because of the fact
that the churches are not acquainted
with and might not favor it. The report
|of the finance committee hinged to some
extent on action taken, the committee re-
porting that tax of nine cents on each
resident member would be required in
case of the New England board being
created and seven cents if not. The re-
port was accepted with the maximum tax
fixed at eight and one half cents.
A report by Secretary e. G. French
showed the official number of delegates
and pastors who attended the convention
to be 1871, this number representing 81
churches. Visitors accompanying the
delegates swelled the total to 1876.
Because of delay in transacting bus
mess this forenoon, Rev. Frederick B.
Richards OF st. Johnsbury asked and OBJ
tanned permission with regrets from the
chair not to give his address on the "Spr-
itual Conditions Of Successful Ministry
Dinner was served at ii o'clock in the

Denial by the officials of the Cunard
steamship line that the steamer Transy.'
vania was attacked or followed by a
German submarine while she was max
ing for Glasgow by way of the northern
route, sets at naught any depressing in
fuence that may have been brought to
bear on the public of the United States
which already was wrought up to a high
pitch by the sinking of the Lusitania
and which was awaiting a reply from the
German nation relative to that disaster
and previous attacks on American citi,
zens. The emphatic statement is made
by the officials of the line that no sub
marine was sighted, thus proving that
the imaginations of some of the passcn-
gers were working strongly when they
went so far as to say that they saw
torpedo go whizzing by astern of the
boat, the shot from the submarine hav-
ing missed its mark. This is no time
for the imagination to be allowed to run
riot; the facts in the situation are bad
enough.

ligions and that is all that can possibly
be expected. China, also il rapidly be-
coming ready to adopt the Christian re-
ligion and even now missionaries cannot
teach all those who are clamoring to be
taught.
Turkey, where one-third of all the mis-
sionares are located, is to-day turning
toward Christianity as never before, and
Northumberland is crumbling, Momamed-
anism, that has proved barrier for cen.
turtles For years people have been fed
on the prospects OF holy war and ter
ribel predictions were made as to the re-
suit of such declaration. A holy war
has been declared and has utterly failed
to stir the people out of their wonted
calm and the downfall of Mohammedan-
ism is foreseen from that fact.
In closing the speaker touched upon
the bravery and fortitude of the mis-
sionaries in Turkey and other war,ridden
countries who scorned and ridiculed the
invitations to return in case of trouble
before war was declared. The time is
coming, said DIR. Barton, when all de-
nominational differences in the Protest
ant world will be forgotten, and the war
is creating that among other things.
Governor Gates Could Not Be Present.
Governor Charles w. Gates, whose pres
ence yesterday afternoon was expected,
and who was slated to lead the discussion
following the presentation of the report
of the committee on civic justice, sent
word that he would be unable to attend
on account of pressure of business.
The report of that committee was pre-
scented later by Rev. James B. Sargent
of Mortified and contains interesting
reference to many problems which con-
fronted the last legislature at the CAPT
toll. In speaking of the Bible bill, so
called, which was killed by the legislature
after bitter fight, the report explains
that it seems harmless at first glance
but deeper examination reveals little real
good inasmuch as only 10 verses of the
Bible were to be read and contains Sc
rious possibilities, such as introducing
parochial school in community where
there formerly existed but a public
school,
The report advocates law compelling
children between the ages of six and l6
years attending some Sunday school, to
De chosen by the parents.
The report commends the action taken
~ the general assembly in passing pro-
libtory liquor referendum law and urges
he people OF the state to give splendid
majority at the polls in March, 1915, in
avor OF the law.
The report further commends the ac-
ion taken in defeating the eugenic mar
iage bill and in passing the venereal
isease measure. In closing. the report
ouches on race suicide, the detectives
nd the principle of government. III

strained to the point of breaking, follow
ing the defeat in Galicia by the Germans
and Austrians. One point on which Rus
sia's allies have banked ever since the
first few battles of the war on the east

to swing great columns into the breach
made by the enemy and then to take up
the offensive. 1t has been done Per

Great Britain will find dissension il
its admiralty department exceedingly
harmful at the present stage of the war
when great naval operations are under
way, particularly in the Dardaneles
straits. The force of public opinion in
the British Isles may be expected to
bring the trouble to a focus at once so
that the operations will not be hampered
in any way by internal strife.

CHECKING UP

]. c, Stevens. of Portland, the civil
engineer representing the railroad,
arrived in Oroville Saturday for the
purpose of going over the survey of
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
district, to verify it on behalf of the
contractors, so it is understood. He
lost no time getting busy. c. NJ Zedi-
ker, OF Loomis, who assisted with the
original survey, met Mr.. Stevens here
Sunday and they went to work at
once. Of course the engineers are
here 50 do certain work they are en-
gagged to perform, and are in no posi-
ton % give out information even if
they are in possession of such infor-
maticn. The fact that the men are
here through the influence of the rail-
road IS most encouraging indication
1t is the general belief among the di-
rectors of the district that contracts
will be let and work of construction
commence at a very early date. 1t
can not commence too soon to suit
the public after the long, long wait
to sec the consummation of the great
project.

OF those fortuitous opportunities seiz-
eG at the right moment that led to for
tune. Mr.. Hunter and his brother not
only speedily built up the largest and
most flourishing mercantile houses in
i,ossland, but they put in a chain of
stores along the boundary, all of which
proved to be profitable Investments.
Mr. Hunter is still Interested in stores
at Rossland and Grand Forks the ac-
tive management of which he has as
signed to other hands. Mr.. Hunter has
large property interests in Spokane,
the management of which occupies his
time and attention He is also inter
ested in an immense tract of timber
land just across The British Columbia
border, north of Oroyillc. Mr. Hunter
is an old friend and associate of Jas
+, Forde and Chas. Powell, sr., both
ol whom he met here during his short
stay. OF course they all enjoyed the
meeting, as Mr.. Hunter possesses a
most genial personality, and while a
keen business man has his hours of
relaxation, with happy faculty of be-
ing able to erjoy life nationally yet
thoroughly.

the birth of Old Glory, the Stars and
Stripes. our national emblem.
The right of freedom was proclaim
ed by the colonists on July 2nd, 1916,
and two days later, on July 4th, the
Declaration of independence was ad-
opted. In response to the demand for
a banner more representative of the
aims and ideals of the new country, on
June 18th, 1771, congress declared the
national flag to consist of thirteen
stripes, seven red and six white with
thirteen white stars in a circle on a
blue field. On July 4th, 1918, the
stars were increased to equal one for
each state.
At this particular time our United
States is at peace with all the world,
while practically every great nation of
Europe is engaged in deadly con-
tlict.
We feel that the people of this great
land who are living in peace and hap
piness beneath the folds of our starry
banner should fittingly set aside and
celebrate the anniversary of the day
