The program prepared by Mrs. Beckman consisted of an instrumental solo by Miss Winifred Flanagan and the selection was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Graham's remarks on the subject of "Rescue Work" and her practical experience in this work elsewhere brought before ns the many discouragements fonnd to exist in this department of W. O.

T. U. work The following ia what Mrs. Lorenila B. Smith, National Sopt.

of "Rescue Work" says of "White Slave Traffic" The National Parity Conference, which it was my privilege to attend, was held in Chicago, October 6-12. Duriag its sessions many startling facts oonoerniug the conditions surrounding women and girls were brought to light It is admitted everywhere that this tiaftlc exists. Were this aot a fact why have lt nations thought it necessary to establish national committees for its suppression? These nations are backed np by their respective governments, which, as a role, do not expect to play a role In an unworiby oudnrtaking. The Rev. Siduey E.

Kendall of Long Ucarh, who lias spent considerable time lu investigating conditions iu the various cities, and can PMtb what he says by indisputable evidence, said lu his address before the Confereuoe "White slaves are hunted in the jungles of Europe that they call Christian Cities. They are captured, abdiuitod, deceived, betrayed, kiduapped aud drugged. They ar secured by any menus that lust can prompt or avarice devise. They are brought to this country in companies and (listribued among onr cities according to the demand of the market. This White Slave 1 rattle has its bureaus of exchange, its schedule of prices, Its expert operatives and all the features of hii interstate and international coniiuerc.

It Is or-gmiuod like an advancing army, and Its war client is available for mutual defense everywhere.

Drngged iu a licmied cafe, lift 'Mi into a cab uuder the very eyes of the police and "taken through the portals of hell." The white slave tratlij has two divisions, the importation of foreign women for commercial purposes ami the procuring of our own girls. If the law alone could nuppress its traffic it never would have ensted, for it is already outlawed i-i every state and city Hut the laws ag.siut the tratt'u-are not nforced.

Thii traffic ia not a private rice, the business is poblic, although the traffickers aeek to keep their damnable business hid from the poblio. Avarice pandera to mans' baeer passions, and it ia proved that the white slave traffio exists because there ia money in it. Mr. Kendall continoea: "The market exists because fortunes are made by It As a poblio business the white slave traffic cannot be carried on in a mauner to be remunerative without the use of certain poblio conveniences, which it cannot obtain withoot the passive consent of the public. So the responsibility comes rooDd to the public once more.

"The white slave traffic most have a privileged area where it will be guaranteed the privacy it r-quires. It most have the protection of the police and the practical abrogation of all laws detrimental to i interests. All this it obtains, and the public raises no objection. So the 'red light district' is a monument to a city COWBr(jjc() i It has already Deen aemonstra.eu that in some cities the white slave traffic, or that much of the social evil that owes its existence to the non-enforcement of law, can be abolished by the imperative and continooos de-' maud of the entire Christian pnb-lie" Mr. Kendall closed bis impassiooed address with these prophetic words "Christianity must sopprees the white slave traffic or abdicate.

And I don't believe she will abdicate. What heaven and earth are waiting for is a ringing demonstration of Cbristiaaity in earnest. Let the whole Christian chorch acknowledge the shame that has come opou her. and we shall see the beginning of the 20th century revival. Details we leave 'to be deter mined by local conditiona.

Speaking as a Christian pastor, to Christian people, and the Christian world is my audience, I am bound to say that after all, oor first and best hope is the gos pel. Whatever 'he law may say whatever the anthorities may do or refuse to do, a determined Christian poblio in any city can pot this market out of business. Withoot going beyond your acknowledged duty as Christians, yoa can create a situation that will make it impossible for this infernal market to continue its business; aud at the same time you can make it impossible for the authorities to refrain from doing their doty. You can pour through the dark places of yoor cities a purifying flood of light aud love, and truth. You cau do this today, tomorrow, next week.

and as long as necessary. You can do ihis whenever yoa care to take the trouble. Fifty determined men cau paralyze the toughest tenderloin in the Uuited States so far as the white slave traffio. is concerned. All that 1 ask is that you pot behind those men the united sentiment and support of the Christian public.

"Uixl send us leaders with faith and conrage, and who, iu addition to these, shall possess the qualities the emergency demands the power of initiative, consecrated strategy and iuspired enthusiasm. With leaders 1 like these, the people are ready. And the omnipotence of Ood is in ihe conscience of lliwpeoplo. lu behalf of WTongi'ilJaud womanhood, iu behalf of tempted young manhood, in of groded huiuttulty, I appeal to the t'briKiiuu ministry of this great country to lead the peoplx against this awful sin aud crime. 11ATT1K I.

The Soothern Pacific tunnels tbroonh the canyon near the headwaters of the Sacramento are all to be strongly lined with concrete as a protection against Are and cave-ins.

Six thousand barrels of cement are to be delivered at Redding and stored thereby tin railroad company as a sopply for the contemplated improvement. Ten carloads of cement have already been pHt down at Redding. First the approaches to the 12 tun-nels will, one after another, be faced with Then the entrances to the tooneia will in turn be lined with cement for 100 feet. After all the tunnels have received their concrete and entrances sections 01 be given another section of 100 feet fo cement coating further in. This process of a little at a time will continue without the interruption of traffic till all the tunnels will be solidly roofed and walled with concrete.

Tounel 0, this side of Redding, was blocked so badly last Summer that a temporary track had to be built roond it. This track is still in ose, although a crew has been working for some time to clear away the obstroo-tion and oement the interior.

Several years ago a defense of vivisection, entitled "A (Statement in He- half of Science," was ibsueil to the pub-lie by a committee of eminent surireons and profenKors, says Henry Merwin, in Atlantic.

The engineer report ia herewith given Engineers Report Sic The Alexandria Gold and Copper Gentlemen I nave nnisnea au caiuiimuon ot vorj, properties in the Argus Range of mountains. Since making tny aminatious some years ago, I find your properties have been develop continuouf-ly. I find the developments under the efficient direction voor superintendent, Mr. H.

C. Hamilton, have been carried 00 in economical and systematic mauner. There is now on your property feet of shafts, all in ote, throwiug a very large tonnage in sight, I should say, on the "Little Maud" and "Knight' vein, which have been exploited by nine tunnels and numerous cots along the vein, ex. posing the ore for fully 1700 feet in length, there is fully 40,000 toni of ore that could be callud in sight. On the "bouMi Inyo" vein theru ar 5000 tons in sight, and on the "Star of tha West" there are also 50OO tons that can be cons-ivativelycalled in sight.

At no place wfiere the ore was opened were values oeiow nulling, and at least seven per cent of the ore can be sorted for shipping. "Xtii ore cau be cobbed to over $100 per ton. I have snggesetd in my detail report that a bucket tram and a 25-gtamp mill should be immediately erected. These improvements would cost f.50,000 and would immediately put your property on a dividend paying basis. A 20-stamp mill would mill four tons to the stamp, or 80 tons per day.

From my sampling your mill.ng ore should average $15 per ton, or $1000 to $1200 per day, in free gold and concentrates, aud your shipping ore at least tour tons jier day, have a value ot over iuu per ion, or if-100 ner day. This can be done at an expense of $3 per ton of ore mined. I shonid reommend this expenditure immediately. Yoor property will then pay euormons divideuds and with the large tonnage already opened np, of known values, would pay for years. Id my opinion the property, with depth, is turning into copper.

All of yoor lower workings dem'nstratf this, the gold aiid silver values holding out.

Stock in a dividend paying mine at '5 cents per share is certainly a bargain, and that is what Mr. Gill-ingham says it is, as soon as the mill is in operation.

The ore being in sight, all tnat is necessary -is the equipment to handle it. The allotment will be sold promptly and in offering it to you, it is on-necessary to state that we advise its purchase.
