VHE wonderful progress of this
city the past year is reflected
through the building activity in
volving expenditures approxim-
ating 100000. bank deposits aggre-
eating the magnificent sum of $1.070.-
900, the establishment of the North
west Nazarene college, one of the
strongest education institutions In the
west and the locating in the city OF
q number of important industries with
payrolls of proportions. Especially is
the story of the city's prosperity told
in o recital of its building activity. An
enumeration of the more important OF
these buildings will suffice, however,
to give an adequate conception OF the
great strides the city has made along
lines Of growth and prosperity the past
year.
During the year the Oregon Short
Line Railroad company constructed a
roundhouse with modern shops at an
expenditure of 100000. The structure
machine shops in the rear equipped
with the most modern machinery. A
100-foot turntable, the largest on the
system, has also been built here by
the company as has a $4,000 gallon
water tank, which supplies water from
q private water system of the COM
pany. Accentuating the fact that the
city's future as a railroad city is an
enviable one, is the fact that in addi-

and will make this department one of
the most interesting and helpful in the
college.
Professor Fred ]. Shields has been
elected assistant in the theological de-
partment. He Is q graduate of the
Nazarene university and takes his
masters degree from the University
Of Southern California this year. Pro-
fessor Shields Is exceptionally well
qualified for the position to which he
has been elected and will be great
addition to the faculty of Northwest
Holiness college.
Miss Mary /. Forsyth continues her
work as professor of English language
ter's degree In English from Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, and her scholarly qualifi-
cations together with her wide ex-
perience as a teacher will make this
important department one Of the
stl ongest in the college.
Mrs. Grace b. McHose will have
supervision OF the department of mu-
sic. She studied voice with Miss Clara
bauer, "A pupil of Marchesi, and her
work in piano was taken with Louis
Schwebal, an artist teacher and pupil
of Vladimer de Pachmann, both of
these being connected with the Cincin-

work to be emphasized at the cost OF
the curriculum of the schools. In the
teaching Of domestic science, it may
be stated that no school in the state
is giving more practical demonstrative
work or floor space for the application

Through the efforts Of L. II. Dewey
Of this city. president of the 1nterur-
ban Railroad company, and member
of the school board, electric power
was recently secured for the use Of
this department Of the school from the
Idaho Power company at an actual
cost of production, this progressive
company being highly enthusiastic In
it's desire to be a factor in the educa-
tional advancement Of the state along
modern lines. This Is but one Of the
many illustrations of the modern con-
veniences the study body enjoys
through the activity Of the city's high
ly progressive school board, and in this
connection, 1t is interesting to note that
the educational interest of the city is
SO strong that its leading business
men consent to serve the city as mem
bers OF the school board, although they
do 80 at a great personal sacrifice.
The present board is composed of the
most prominen. and highly successful
business men OF tho city. Its presi-
dent. DIR. J. II. Murray, has To- Jally and

pacity as resident Of the BIZ ard for
a long NUMBER OF years, and to his

of the strongest educators in south

schools in the city, and the principals
Of these are as follows Miss Hazel
Eaton, OF the Kenw BOD school: Miss
II. lane Walker. Of the Hickey school,
and Mrs Effie G. Stanford, Of the
Lakeview school. All of these teach
ers are of recognized ability through
out the state. From every viewpoint,
/ the schools of the city are comparable
TO the best of other cities in the state,
and they are source of pride to the
entire citizenship OF the city. The en-
rollment of the schools is now in ex-
cess OF 1900, and but slightly below
1900, whereas five years ago, it was
only 700, II fact strongly indicative of
not only the growth OF the school, but
/ of that of the city as well.
LOCKER FACTORY.

city has scored another victory during
/ the year by securing the Coin Con-
J trolled Locker factory, which will be-
gin its operations some time during
the year, the company operating il al
ready having opened offices III the
Lloyd building.
Not only is the industry of great I'M
port to the city through the payroll

materially to its prosperity in the way
of expanding the trade OF the merch-

PRAISE IS GIVEN
| HOME GUARD UNITS
Approve Plans for Organization
of New Jersey Reserve
National Guard.
By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
| Trenton, June 26:-That the Home
Guard organizations of New Jersey
| have absolutely justified their forma-
tion was the tribute paid them here
yesterday by Adjutant General
tive committee of the New Jersey
Committee ON Public Safety approved
the plans previously submitted by
the general for the organization of a
| Reserve National Guard, recruited
from the Home Guards.
There are about $4,000 Home
Guards now In the state and from
them 1t is proposed to enlist 5000
men for the reserve, which will be
ttional Guard when 1t is called out of
New Jersey for war duty. The re-
serves will then be called to meet
any emergency, such as strikes,
| which has until this time always been
met by the militiamen.
IT believe the Home Guards have
had a stimulating and awakening
effect upon every community in this
state where they have been estab-
lished," declared Adjutant General
Barber at the meeting. "They have
undoubtedly had a great influence
upon persons who otherwise might
have made trouble. We will never
know Just what we have escaped.
There is still danger and the interest
in these organizations should not lag.
The secret of their success lies in the
fact that each organization has been
| local in Its interest"
The foregoing remarks were
brought out by some statements at
the meeting that interest in the
Home Guards was beginning to show
signs of failing. Adjutant General
Barber explained the need for a re-
serve force, so that the governor may
have some force to call upon in the
event of q sudden need.
j. G. Hallock, chairman of the
Newark Home Guard Executive
mittee, in response to Mayor Thomas
L. Raymond, of Newark, its chair
man, and suggested the formation of
a military body of 400 men and two
machine gun companies, to be In
uniform all the time and stationed at
Sea Girt, ready for any emergency.
This would be In the nature Of a
constabulary.
Under the plan of the Adjutant
General, enlistment in the Reserve
National Guard will not be compul-
sorry upon Home Guards, but 1t is ex-
pected that 5000 men can be recruit
ed out of their large number. Tho
reserves will be fully equipped with
uniforms, arms and other military
trappings. application for the arms
have already been made to Washing
| ton under the act authorizing the sup
plying of rifles, belts and ammunition
| to Home Guards.
| The basis upon which the Reserve
| National Guard will be organized and
distributed will be near one-hfth Of
| one per cent of the organization of
| the Home Guards for each 10000
| population of q community and on a
graduated scale below that ,gure. The
remainder of the Home Guards will
remain as presently constituted. The
reserves will probably be required to
obligate themselves by oath to serve
for fixed period or the duration of
the present war, and to serve In any
| capacity required for the preservation
of good oder and public safety an
city, county or state at large.
