Shipbuilding In The
Northwest Country
Fred TOmkins, Formerly of Mexico,
Tells About That Section And
Its People.

Corvallis, oregon, Oct 20, 1917.
Friend Beal: We note that we are
some in arrears with you on sub
scription for The Message, and also
that the cost of the Message, like
everything else, will soon advance,
so before it is too late will remit.
Wo still live here; that is, wife
a-d l. Our children are scattered
out from home, but all are in Ore
gon except one son; Ben is in Camp
Green, Charlotte, N. c.
AS we have been away from Mex
leo since 1906, do not suppose many
people there remember much of us.
In reading the news as given by your
country correspondents, we see many
names that are familiar but often
times the initials are different to the
ones we knew, and then we realize
that this is representative ofanother
generation, that the one we knew
has passed on.
We have had an extremely dry
summer, said to have been the long
est continuous period without rain
for 25 years. Consequently crops
were not near up to the average.
Had some rain in September, but it
is dry again. The weather is de-
lightful, but not very good for farm
ing operations.
The lumber industry of the North
west has occasioned a great revival
in business. Wages are high and
good hands scarce. The building of
wooden ships in this section of the
country will probably continue to
be permanent industry, on account
of the great timber resources avail
able for that purpose, and even if
peace should come soon (for which
event we all most earnestly hope
and pray) the lumber and shipbuild-
ing industries will continue to keep
the Northwest prosperous for many
years.
With best wishes for all inquir-
ing friends.
FRED TOMKINS.

Baptizing.
(By Ed. w. H. Hook.)

Hunter, Mo-, Oct. 81, 1917. Dear
Bro. Beal; will write you another
short letter.
My meeting at Eaddonia was a
good one. Brother Granfield of
blessed m mory was with me several
days. | do not recall the number of
accessions to the congregation. But
know our church building was not
finished. l recall the fact that water
in sufficient quantity was some dis
tance away. Therefore we dug a
hole in the ground four feet deep
and filled it full of water, and I
went down into the water and bap-
tized all who wanted to be baptized,
and they went on their way rejoic-
ing. Many things I could relate but
cannot just now. Many were at the
meeting-I remember all were hap
py. Old Brother Foster and his in
telligent wife 1 remember we'll, and
you, Bro. Beal, formed their ac-
quaintance after that time. They
have gone to the better world.
Never preached at Laddonia any
more after that only at funerals.
attended a county meeting there
shortly after the meeting I have al
luded to. Brother James G. Bruton
was there-railroad agent, barber
and postmaster at first. His good
wife was living then. They were
good people, but they are gone. No
better man could be found than ]
G. Bruton, and his wife included.

will say goodbye to Laddonia and
speak about Vandalia. 1 moved to
Vandalia. Cannot say just when
located there. l guess it was in

Organized the Christian Church

good preaching by Brother Timothy
Ford, also DR.. ]. R. Lucas. These

COLD WAVE WILL LAST
 UNTIL TUESDAY, AT LEAST.
Higher Temperatures Will Accompany
 Snow Tuesday.

Washington. Dec. so.-Little relief before Tuesday or Wednesday from the bitter cold wave that has swept out of the west to the Atlantic coast was promised tonight by the weather bureau. Records for low temperatures in New England and New York were lowered, today and extreme cold was reported from throughout the south.
 Coincident with the movement of the cold area. towards the Atlantic, the fygeather west of the Mississippi moderated to an extent where normal temperatures for this season now are being registered. +'
 The lowest temperature recorded throughout the country today was at Northfeld,s Vt where the mercury dropped to 26 below. With IA below at7 Boston and IS below at New York last night, all records for the local bureaus at those cities were broken and in the coast states, south of New York the cold was severest since 1880.
 Snow is forecast for the northern Mississippi valley and lake regions Tuesday and for the middle Atlantic states and New England Tuesday. Highcr temperatures will accompany tie snow.
