METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The Annual Conference, with Bis
hop Cook presiding, was hed in
Gnoding, Idaho, Sept. 13 to II. It
was a profitable session and the re-
PORTS showed that good advance
had been made during the year
on nearly all the charges.
The pastor of the Methodist church
il Payette was returned for another
year, and extends a hearty invita-
ton to all, to be present at the
first Sunday service of this new
conference year.
When we know Methodism, we
do not wonder that DR.. Lyman Abb
bolt, editor of the Outlook, and II
widely known religious writer, said
what he did about the Methodist
church. "Unquestionably the Metho-
dist church represents the plain
people; Enthusiastically it speaks to
the plain people; Internationally it
understands the thoughts Of the
PfdlA PCOPAC, LlCii SChtbhCuto AN
aspirations; and knows how there
fore better than any other church in
America to represent the plain peo-
ple."
In the three full calendar years
proceeding May 1916 the net gains
in membership OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church amounted to =
total of 425,71O, which is AN aver
age net gain in members of 1903
per year for that time.
The first day of October is Sun
day School Rally Day. Make all
plans to be present. Il
The regular services will be held
next Sunday. A cordial invitation is
to all.

NUMEROUS ERRORS FOUND
IN VAN DEUSEN REPORT

The Nampa Leader Herald of May
I23, says:
Gross mistakes and evidences OF
false charges in the Van Deusen re-
port on the audit of the Canyon
county books were brought to light
Saturday when Leader-Herald rep
resentative made AN investigation OF
ia part of that report. If the one
phase of the report examined Sat
urday is representative of the whole,
the document for which Canyon coun-
ty has expended something like
So 600 is so honey-combed with er-
ror as to be practically worthless"
An investigation of the charges
that A. o. Christopher, assessor and
tax collector, received money for
taxes for which no entries have been
made on the cash book, recently in
4tuted by the Leader-Herald, has
resulted in the discovery that no
less than a dozen errors have been
found in the report of Clarence Van
Deusen, who audited the books. 1t
is claimed that these numerous err
rors. while aggregating but a few
hundred dollars, were found in but
little more than an hours investiga-
ton. This would indicate lack of
care and accuracy on the part of
Van Deusen, who was employed by
the county commissioners as e.n ex-
pert accountant, that will create a
serious doubt in the public mind as
to whether or not the voluminous re-
port as whole is of any real value.
We believe there is no desire
on the part of any newspaper or
any taxpayer of Canyon county to
shield Mr. Christopher or other
present or former county official,
but in a spirit of fairness they are
going to insist on knowing all the
facts before passing judgment upon
hem.

CHRISTOPHER DID NOT PAY.

fair in its. publication of news
items, says:
1.-The report on another page TAX
en- from the Fruiuand Banner which
states that Assessor Christopher
made good shortage of $500 Is un-
true. Mr.. Christopher has not paid
over any money as a result Of the
Van Deusen audit and he states that
he has no such intention He con-
tends that the auditors report is
faulty and that while he may have
made some errors and some errors
may have been made In his Office
there are no shortages. We arc
sorry that the article was inserted
as it places Mr. Christopher wrong
before the public. but as 1t gives
this occasion to make this explana-
ton it may not do him as much
harm In the end as it will do him
good"

This is good time for a light

been neglected" This gentleman
says. DO not prune trees that are
weak growers and those that bear
undersized fruit, as winesap, and
such; prune them in the fall Of the
year or spring, but water-sprouts
may be removed at any time on

TREASURE TRovE.
What Wall Street Proposes to Do In
Quest of Deep Sea Gold.

| NEW York; is estimated that
there is 100000, 900 worth of gold
silver and other treasures at the
bottom of the sea. The Inter-ocean
Submarine Engineering company has
been formed in Wall Street, to resur-
rect this treasure. Instead of hunt
ing over the Maine coasts for Cap
tain Kids treasure, Morgan and
other big bankers are going down
under sea where a vast treasure is
buried in dismantled steamships.
Piracy and accident, war and tempest
have made the depths of the ocean
richer than the tops of the noun
tains. In the last two years the treas
ure at the bottom of the sea has
been greatly increased.
Fifteen Spanish plate ships were
sunk by Admiral Blake in Vigo bay,
worth alone 500, 100000; three ships
were sunk by the same hero off
Cadiz; the galleon of the Spanish Ar
mazda. lost off 'Tobermory, Scotland;
the Spanish treasure from Lima
was buried ON Cocos Island; the EN-
press Of Austria's pearl necklace
was lost off Corfu; the treasure Of
Morgan was sunk In Chesapeake bay,
and the British warship was sunk
near Sebastopol.
In the case of some of these many
efforts at recovery have already been
made. A Scottish lord undertook to
lecovef the wreck off Tobermory and
lie was just about to rake up the
golden guldens when the war put
an end to his search. A few months
ago a party of Missour1ans under
the leadership of an ancient sea cap
tain started for Cocos Island to
bring home the Lima treasure. The
party got as far as San Francisco.
1t was reported that other adven.
turers had carried away a shipload
of the gold and what remained was
scarcely worth the quest.
One of the men interested in the
new company is reported to have
said that he considered it's plans
feasible" Certainly they are FEAST
BILE; any boy who has ever read
Treasure Island" or the works of
W. Clark Russell or Morgan Robert
son knows that.
