GRAND WAS FILLED.
Large Audience Heard DIR. Eaton,
Christian Science Lecturer.

The Grand Opera house was crowd
ed to capacity last night to near a lee
ture on Christian Science by DR.. Clar-
ence C. Eaton, c. S. B., of Boston,
Mass, member of the board of lee
tureship of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist. He was introduced by FREQ
Voiland.
DR.. Eaton said in part:
1.-The practice of Christian Science
mas demonstrated that the false ma
terial laws which by common belief
and consent operate through fear,
ignorance, and superstition to mac
pacitate mortalS and cause invalidism,
are rendered null and void by the
higher law of Mind. The individual
knowledge of this. and it's application,
naturally effects the eradication of the
discordant conditions which may be
held in thought or externalized on the
body.
There is nothing mysterious or
miraculous about the modus operandi
of Christian Science healing, since IAN
infinite and irreVOcable law provides
for reconstruction, reimbursement, res
tOration, recovery. or redemption, in
accordance with the supreme wisdom
and power of the Principle which
eSta bliShed the law.
'NThe changes wroght in conscious
ness, and which result in the healing
of the sick according to the practice
of Christian Science, are in no sense
due to the use of hypnotiSm or Sug
of submissive mentality or con-
seriousness by an imperative one, is
recognized as a dangerous practice,
the bulk of the results therefrom be-
ing evil rather than good. Moreover
the practice is unchristian, because
contrary to the teaching of Jesus, who
denounced and repudiated such meth
DDS The exercise of the human will
as evidenced in one human or mortal
mind dominating another, was char
acteriZed by the Master as the equiva-
lent of casting out devils by the prince
of devils.
Importance of Right Thinking.
1.-The simplicity of the mode of
healing wrought through spiritual
means. is fully appreciated when one
realizes that wrong thought is re-
SponSible for the appearance of dis
ease. Jesus regarded evil thinking as
the source of all disorders. He indi-
Gates in words which appear in two
of the gospels-Matthew and Mark
that the defilement or contamination
of the body was due to evil thoughts,
or the habit of wrong thinking. He
thus taught that an exceedingly close
intimacy exists between consciousness
and it's lower substratum-theb body
or EN- bodiment. We might designate
their relationship under normal con-
ditiOnS as that of master and servant
Following the teaching of Christian
Science, and by educating conscious
ness in the way of righteousness and
peace, many thousands have found, to
their great establishment and joy, that
1t is possible to obtain an improved
mentality or consciousness, and this in
turn eXerts a corrective influence over
the body. This experience has repeat
eddy operated advantageously to ones

to appear wherever and whenever the

THE varied experiences of human
ity abundantly prove that turbulent or

quences of such belief. was the chief

BUILD WATERWAYS
IN MIDST OF WAR
New Oder Vistula Waterway is
Opened to Traffic-Germany
Surpasses United States

"The Vistula river has been men.
toned many times of late in the re-
ports of the battles in Poland and the
capture of Warsaw, the largest city
on it's banks. Now the German por-
ton of the river furnishes an item
which is worthy of note, although it
is peaceful instead of warlike: For,
although considerable work remains
to be done before it is entirely COM
pleted. the waterway which connects
the vistula with the Oder has recent
ly been opened to traffic.
"This new waterway, which takes
the place Of an older and much small
er one, is 1872 miles long and consists
almost entirely Of canalized rivers.
Starting at Custrin, fortified city on
the Oder some go miles almost due
east of Berlin, it follows up the War
the and Netze rivers, crosses the sum-
NIT level by canal seventeen miles
long and then goes down the Brahe,
past the city of Bromberg, to the Wis
tula. It enters this river just at the
point where its course changes sharp
ly from the northwest to northeast.
Through this waterway boats carry
ing $50 tons can pass from Berlin to
the seaport of Danzig and the city Of
Koenigsberg.

RAILROAD DECLINES TO
REDUCE RATE ON WHEAT
Effort to Encourage Eastern Ship
ments from Fields of the
Northwest Fails

In order to aid the Eastern Wash.
ington farmers in every way possible
in marketing their record export
wheat crop this fall, the public SER
vice commission, on request of Elk
Governor Miles C. Moore, of Walla
Walla, notified the Northern Pacific
railroad that the commission would
not consider as precedent any lower
rate on wheat east which the road
might agree to put in as an emer-
gency this fall, and would not object
when the road wished to restore the
old rate. Mr.. Moore, representing sew
eral farmers unions, desired this as
surance in order to persuade the Nor
thern Pacific to consider making the
new rate, wanted to facilitate ship
ment of wheat east for export instead
of to Puget Sound, because Of be-
lief there would be shortage of bot
toms at Portland and Sound points.
Despite the commissions co-opera-
ton, however, the Northern Pacific
has declinded to grant any reduction
and has so notified the commission.
Reasons for this given by Vice Presi-
dent ]. G. Woodwork, of the Nor
thern Pacific, are that no rate the
road would be able to put in would
succeed in diverting the wheat east
ward, because charters from New
York were relatively as high as from
Pacific Coast points, and because the
eastern importers would not be able
to handle the added business, result

with its state-owned railways, in
which it has billions of dollars invest
ed and on which it depends for the
greater part of its revnue; but Ger
many has been doing that very thing
for forty years. And the results ?
Nothing in all history has ever equal
ed, or approached, the marvellous
growth in commerce and industry
which has been made by Germany
within that time. Volumes might be
written but single comparison must
suffice.
SIN every one of the twenty years
ending with 1913 the foreign COM
merce of Germany has exceeded that
of the United States. Fast as our
commerce has grown, that of Germany
has grown faster still. The average
excess of German commerce for the
five years ending with 1898 was SPOT
100000; in the next five years the
average rose to 1921, OOO,O 900; in the
next five to s400, OO0, 900; and in the
next to SIP 100000. For 1912 the ex-
cess was $3.50 100000.
There would be nothing in these
figures for the United States to boast
of if the two countries were equal in
size and resources. But compared with
Germany the United States is more
than seventeen times as large, has
fifty per cent more population, NOR
than twice as much accumulated
wealth and natural resources at least
ten times as great. Yet in the COM
mercial supremacy Germany passed us
twenty years ago and, until the war
broke out, was steadily leaving us far
ther and farther behind.
Cheap transportation is just as vi
tai to industry and commerce as am
munition to an army.
"It would pay the United States to
improve its waterways"

and operating the waterways they al.
ready have but are actually building
more. This fact" says statement
issued by the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, "shows more plain
ly than any, words could do that water
ways are considered to be of vital i'm
portance to German interests.
Prussia had already spent nearly
$50, 900, 900 on waterways when on
April 1, 1905, the Landtag authorized
the expenditure of over O,OO0, 900 on
number of important new projects,
of which the Oder-Vistula waterway
was one. It must be remembered, too,
that Prussia had no less than $2,225,-
OOO,O 900 invested in a system of state
owned railways.
what this really means can be
better understood by a comparison.
Prussia has an area of less than 1885,
600 square miles, while the United
States is more than $500, 900. If
the congress of the United States, af-
ter investing $59,764, OOO, 900 in rail-
ways and spending $3,465, OOO, 900 on
waterways, should pass single rivers
and harbors bill authorizing an expen-
diture Of $2,16O. OOO, 900 more, it would
have done exactly as much for trans
portation, in proportion to the size
Of the two countries, as Prussia had
done ten years ago.

Germany, as is pointed out in a
report by Consul General Thackara, is
fully alive to the fact that Transports

by land and water. On the face of it,
