Efficient Friend of tho Allies.

Col. Isaac N. Lewis, U. s. A, re-
tired, who has been authorized by the
French government to construct IN
ordnance factory at st. Etienne for
the manufacture of the Lewis rapid
fire gun, is an American, whose in
vention was submitted to the war de-
partment while he was on the active
list, and was not accepted. He then
tried Germany, who, quickly realizing
the importance Of the weapon, asked
for the sole right to use and manufac-
ture the gun, but was refused. Next
he tried England. The British gov
eminent consented to the sale of the
guns to her allies, but at that time
would not guarantee to purchase all
that Colonel Lewis could manufac-
ture, so he went to Belgium, where
he was given orders without restric-
lions. Final delivery was only twenty
days before the European war broke
out. The Belgians were the only SOL
diers having the Lewis guns. The
English army is being supplied from
the Birmingham factory. France will
receive the gun In large quantities
as soon as the new Etienne plant is
ready.

friend of Mr., Hubbell's, stopped over
one night with him and consented
to Mr.. Fagan's earnest request to take
1.-THE time of the service last evening.
DR.. Jaggard has been seven years on
the great Congo river in the Belgian
colony and ne with his associates have
been able to do a great work. He has
been compelled to teach the natives
practically everything from a written
language to modern surgery. The
Christian churches of Oregon a few
Years ago gave the Congo mission tho
gift of a large river steamer for use
upon the great river system of Cen
trai Africa. DR.. Jaggard spoke OF
the great value Of this steamer to
their work. During the progress OF
the evangelistic meetings Mr.. Pagan
had been asked how 1t was possible
for the 5000 to have been baptized on
the day of Pentecost If they were i'm.
mersedP He took occasion TO ask
DR.. Jaggard II he had ever baptised
any large number of converts at one
time and il so about how long It
took him to do It. DR.. Jaggard said
One time l baptized % converts
