In this same section and other

splendid trains, with all the latest

drills are used in the mines and

Rev. S. A. Koningmacher. who has
been visiting his brother in Takoma
Park, remarked that "he has to carry
post cards around in his pocket so as
to show people that lions are not now
running around in the streets Of Cape
Town, and that even strikes and riots
are the latest acquired habits Of the
people of Africa. You see we are
strictly up-to-date."
Mr.. Koningmacher, who has been
in Africa for q score or more years
doing pioneer mission work for the
Seventh Day Adventists. has shown a
keen understanding of the problems
Of the country. He points out that
the color problem is growing to be q
serious one; that there Is also q COM
ing economic crisis due to the educa-
tion Of the natives and their skill in
taking the place and doing the work
OF the white man.
Instead Of merely the white man
and the black in Africa, there are in
Cape Town three color lines. There
are the Englishman, the Boer and
then the native. On the western coast
the question is q very live one. and
the recent strike and riot over there

COOLEST AUG. Fl BRINGS
COATS. AND STEAM HEAT
Thermometer Goes 1.4 De.
rrees LoUer Than Record.

Light overcoats and steam heat made
their appearance in New York yester-
day morning. the coldest August 21 on
record. The bubble of the radiator
sounded on many Of the early trains
and ferries that brought commuters to
New York. and at least half of the men
who braved the forward decks OF the
boats in the Hudson and East rivers
and across the bay from Staten Island
wore overcoats. The others turned their
collars UP and did not seem to be es-
pecially pleased with such a cold day
in August.
The day, however, while a record for
August 21. was not a record for the
month. The thermometer reached 55
degrees, IA degrees lower than any
other mark ever achieved on an August
81, butt the record for August % Is
So degrees. On several August days in
recent years the mercury has gone even
lower than that.
The cold weather OF yesterday and the
previous night followed two or three
days of intense and swetering heat,
which caused several deaths and many
prostrations. The thermometer rose
gradually yesterday after seven o'clock,
but the whole day was cool and pleas
ant. But last night blankets continued
to be in demand In bedrooms and there
is not much prospect. according TO the
forecast, of any great heat to-day.

States Oldest Church
Falling Into Decay

Il The roof of st. Paul's mission on
the Columbia river, Washington's
lfoldest church building, has caved in.
s 1t is too bad, but no attempt has
been made to repair the damage, and
lit appears improbable that a new
roof will be laid unless some histori-
cal society or group of individuals
takes an interest in saving the old
building from decay.
B The walls of the church are in an
excellent state of preservation, but
the doors and windows have been re-
moved. The roof fell in four or five
weeks ago.
Father Ravalli, early day Catholic
missionary to the Indians of the Pa
cifc northwest, built the st. Paul
mission under the direction of Fathe,
De Smet, the first Catholic mission
ary to the Indians Of Montana and
eastern Washington and northern
Idaho. The building was put up in
1845, a year before work on the IA
nous Cataldo mission east of Occur
dAlene was commenced.
The building stands on high pla-
teau in the midst of a beautiful nat
ural park. Just below it the waters
of the Columbia leap over the Kettle
falls; to the north a half mile is the
site of the Hudson Bay company's old
fur trading post. In the rear is a
burying ground where the whites of
the fur trading post are inferred.
Washington's first church building
or mission was built by Marcus Whit
man six miles below Walla Walla;
the second was built by the Rev.
Cushing Eells and the Rev. Elkanah
Walker near Tum Tum, north of the
Spokane river, in 1888. The Rev.
Modesto Demers, a Catholic mission
ary to the Oregon country, built the
third mission just north of the Cow
litz river and 18 miles south of Che
halls in 1889. All of these old mis-
sions have disappeared and of the
early-day missions in Washington
only the old building of the st. Paul
mission remains, and it will pass
away in time unless an effort is
made to preserve the building.
The Rev. Francis N. Blanchet, the
first Catholic missionary to the In
dians of the Pacific northwest, held
his first service on American soil
within half mile of the site of the
mission.
The building stands a mile and a
half south of the town of Marcus and
is on a state highway.-Mark A.
Shields, in Spokane Chronicle.
