V Jones, of the Has-calo-Street Church, Portland. It was 3hown that aid had been granted to S2S2 churches, since its organization, and that all of the churches in Oregon, but- three, had been aided by It; that It was distinct ly missionary In Its purpose, and that those who withheld their support from the society; were doing serious Injury to the cause of Christianity. "Loyaltj' to the State" was discussed under the following subdivisions: "The Value and Danger of the Trusts," by Professor James R. Robertson, of tho chair of history In Pacific University, at Forest Grove; "Some Present Day La bor Troubles and Their Solution," by F. McKcrcher, of Portland: "How to Deal With tRo Liquor Question," S.. C. Pier, of Portland; "Loynlty to Our "New Posses sions," by Mrs. J. R.

Lowell, of Pendleton, made an address on "Loyalty to the Laws of Our Country." Judge Lowell spoke In part as follows: The Immedlato rethedy for the menacing per ils which confront us wlllneed not War, but can be found In an enduring coalescence of law-abiding men and women, for the teaching of loyalty to law, purging the statute books of laws which permit special privileges, and for securing the Impartial enforcement of those which safeguard private' rights and public mor alsthe organization of a White Hose League, if you please, political In Its character, non partlran and nonsectarlan In Its requirements, including in its membership men and wome'n alike, with no pledge except devotion to law and social order, the performance of every duty of the citizen In the highest Interest of the state, the support of only those candidates for, public office whose character and practices are a guaranty of allegiance to the public weal. Such an organization would be found a spe cific for the Ills of state, and would be effectual to Jusl the extent that the people joined It and adhered to Its purposes. Law In Itself Is an Impotent, Inoperative thing. It must always be vitalized and sus tained by public sentiment, and It dies when that power forsakes It. Law-breakers, official delinquents and political obscurants know this, and fear nothing so much as organized public sentiment. They realize their own weakness, and depend Invariably upon tho apathy and dl vision of the forces of right. Tho demand of tho age, the Supplication of the weaker races of the earth, the need of America, Is the coronation of common Justice. The recession of arrogant wealth, the subsid ence of the conscienceless parvenu, the retire ment of the shuffling official, the eleah3lng of political life, and a renaissance of unselfish citizenship. Tho comprehensive plans of the. Almighty will be carried to their consummation, the law will be fulfilled by us, let us hope, but In any event ny a people joyai , at onco to the Im mutable moral code, and the God who de clared It. Rev. Mac H. Wallace, of Eugene, fol lowed with an address on the "Congrega tional Esprit de Corps." Rev. Edward L. Smith, of Seattle, and Rev. Elwln L. House, of Portland, will address Ihe asso ciation at the closing session tomorrow evenlnff. LOVE-MAD JAPANESE. Three People Meet Death at Seattle Man's Hands. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 20. Y.

PROMISING COPPER MINI IMNAHA .DISTRICT ON SNAKE RIVER BEING DEVELOPED. May, Some Day Rival Butte, Sut Prominent Mlalnir Man 500-Foot Bluff Shoivs Three Vein. SUMPTER, Or., Oct 22. (Special.) Oregon has a most promising copper dis trict in a section little known. This is" the Imnaha, some 35- miles down the Snake from a point opposite the Seven Devils, yet regarded as in the same great mineral zone as the Seven Devils and Panhandle copper properties. It has been, badly 'iso lated itl the past which fact doubtless ac counts for its obscurity. The Government appropriation of . $25,000 to Improve the Snake above LeWIston will render that stream navigable to the Imnaha, giving the cheapest possible transportation, ahd thus bring the Imnaha copper district to the ront One prominent mine operator, who is in terested in the Imnaha section, as well as properties near Sumpter, stated Tester day that he was of tho firm belief that this district would yet rival ButtO. De velopment has net proceeded far yet, but this gentleman, J. A. Hilllker, says the work on the surface and depth so far at tained indicates great copper deposits. Jmnaha district is from three to five miles wide, and about eight miles long. The upper end of the district terminated at the lower edge of a great lava flow, which doubtless is a cap covering the vein system beyond that point The formation j is granite, with some porphyry. Veins nave a northerly and southerly strike, varying slightly to the east ahd set up almost vertically. There are from 12 to 15 -defined fissures crossing the district, nil parallel, and, so far as developed, aver aging from 12 to 14 feet In width. One Of these Is located for. seven full claims in length, or over two miles It Is clearly traced. by the gossan, Or iron cap, from the declivity pitching off Into the Snake to the lava overflow. Other properties are said to have fissure? of equal bold ness. A bluff of 500 feet elevation shows two or three of the veins across Its face. Development has penetrated below the oxidized aone on several of tho properties, where sulphide's running from 6 to 8 per cent copper, and even higher in some In stances, are revealed-. Malachite running high as 30 and 40-per cent copper Is often .fdund in the oxidized zone, where leach ing has enriched, that portion immediately under the surface deposits. Sulphides come In With the water level, which ranges about. 50 feet depth. Protmhly Immense Depouits. Mr. Hilllker says that the district will not be limited by the. cropping area, for the fissures where they disappear under the lava are strong as at any other por tion. It is his belief that the entire re gion was once submerged beneath the lava, far beyond the lnvestlgatIoh3 bf man, but erosion Of the turbuMent Snake removed the heavy supeririipOsed strata where the stream passed, till the veins outcropped for a distance. In operating the properties, he thinks that the veins may be followed under the lava with as great ease as their cropplngs are now traced by the gossan, thus opening Im mense deposits, which aro likely to ex pand at depth on the same scale as dla the veins at Anaconda when followed Into the earth. Tho smelter recently ordered by the Eu reka Smelting Company will treat custom ores. It Is to be located at the mouth of the Imnaha, and Is understood to be a matting plant Of sufficient capacity for" needs of the Immediate future. There an Ideal site Is to be had for reduction works. The Imnaha Is a strong Btrcam of con siderable volume during the dryest sea son, and dashes down the slope at an angle making It possible to secure great fall In a reasonable distance. This Is to be utilized for generating all thepower required for operating the reduction plant, and tho mines after they are further ad vanced In development Fuel will then be a minor problem, as none will be re quired save that used by the smelter for the charge In the furnaceB. Climate favors In a rare degree, as the little valleys along the Imnaha and Snake yield choice fruits and vegetables, and last Winter there was but one Inch of snow on the ground at the time. With water transportation, tho district is des tined to command wider attention. There are excellent copper deposits in the Pan handle and Seven Devils region that can not now be worked because the product Is not within reach of reasonable transport ation. When the two boats to operate on the Upper Snake connect Imnaha with the outside world, that region Will be in line for extensive work. Cracker-Summit Property Sold. The Cracker-Summit mining property, adjoining the E. & E North Pole and WILL" INTEREST EVERYBODY Or nt Least Everyone "Who Suffers From Catarrh. Catarrh in Its Various forms Is a. Na tional disease, and the fact that neariy everybody suffers from It more orjle?3 leads many to neglect Its proper treat ment : Nasal catarrh Is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense of smell, and if neglected reaches the throat causing Impairment and sometimes total los3 of voice. Eronchlal catarrh leads casilj to consumption. Catarrh of stomach and liver are very serious and obstinate trou bles, while it Is now generally admitted that catarrh is the most common of all causes of deafness. All of the more serjous forms of. ca tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the locnl symptoms being a profuse discharge, stoppage of nostrils, Irritation and fre quent clearing of tho throat, sneezing, coughing and gaggrjg. The old style of treatment with douches. Inhalers, sprays, salves, etc., simply give temporary relief, and every one Who has used any of them knows how useless they are, and their Inconvenience Is such that very few hive the time or patience to continue their use. A radical cure of catarrh can only be obtained from a treatment which re moves the catarrhal taint from the blood, because no one will now dispute that citarrh is a constitutional or blood dis ease, and local applications can have no affect except temporarily to relieve local symptoms. A new remedy which has been remark ably successful in curing catarrh is a pleasant tasting tablet whloh Is taken In ternally and acts upon the blood and mu cous membranes. It Is "Composed of antiseptic remedies like red .gum, blood root and similar cleansing spcclflcs, which eliminate the catarrhal poison from the system. Tho tablets, being pleasant to the taste, are dissolved in the mouth, and thus reach the throat, trachea and finally the stomach dnd entire alimentary canal. They are sold by druggists everywhere under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets. If desired, when there is much stoppage of the nose, the tablets may be dissolved In w'arm water and used as a douche In addition to Internal use, but a douche is not at all necessary. A few dissolved In the mouth dally will be sufficient Dr. Alnslec says: "The regular dally use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, taken Inter nally. wilKcure the whole catarrhal trou ble without resorting to the Inconvenience of r. douche Or nn inhaler." They seem to give a. healthy-tone to the whole mucous membr'ahe, and It Is rcaliy remarkable how soon they will clear the head and throat of the unnatural and poisonous catarrhal secretion. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is undoubtedly the Safest, most palatable and certainly the most efficient and convenient remedy for any form of catarrh.

The vein there Is from 30 to 40 feet Wide, carrying shoots of high grade ore, some of which is typical of tho mother lode. Thlo vein Is opened by two tunnels 100 feet each in length, and numerous surface cdts. For a prospect, it is a high property, but few offer great er inducement for development W. H.
