PARSON HALTS GRAND JURY 300 Indictments Predicted, Quest for Evidence Useless. BARTLESV1LLE, Okla., Jan. 22 Because Rev. E. J. Bulgin. an evangel ist who has been ' holding meetings here, told his congregation that the county grand jury, now in session, was about to return 300 indictments, -the in auisltorlal bodv mav be dismissed: Rev. Mr. Bulgin was cited yesterday to appear before Judge Shea, , of the District Court, and divulged th source of his alleged information. He de clared that J. A. Hayes, art attorney, had given it out. Mr. Hayes m court denied this, and the judge announced that he would adjourn the grand Jury over to next Monday, and then prob ably dismiss the body, saying thtre had been too much comment on its probable action. Pev. Mr. Bulgin is well known in the We.it He has been holding meetings in Oklahoma for several montns, and has repeatedly charged local officials KEW LY-APPOIXTED Jl'IHiE HAS BEEN PH ACTIC1.G ATTOR XEV FOK 12 YEARS.

Calkins, recently appointed to the vacancy caused by the resignation of H. K. Hanna, Judge of the Circuit Court for the First Judicial District, has been a practicing lawyer since 1898, the last nine years of this time in Southern Oregon, where he has also served as offi cial court reporter. He will assume the duties of his new po sition February 1. with fostering crime and accepting hush money from gamblers and boot leggers.

MOTHER FINDS HER BOYS Writ of Habeas Corpus Restores Sons After Long Search. POSTAGE BILLS BIG Story of Oregon'lnvolves Large Outlay for Stamps. CAMPAIGN IS' VIGOROUS Advertising Through Regular- Or - ganizations Includes Distribu tion of Much Material Xot v Included in Estimates. The enormous advertising campaign that is now being carried on under the management of the different commercial bodies of Oregon means a stamp bill of great proportions. The greater portion of the advertising matter is distributed by express and freight and in other ways, however, and the stamp bill rep resents only a small percentage of the amount of printed matter that is finding its way from Oregon to all parts of the pnited States, Canada and foreign coun tries. f" One million leaflets by the Portland Commercial Club were distributed by business interests and individuals of this city, without a cent of cost for addi tional postage, as they were enclosed with communications of various kinds. When Commercial Clubs arrange for special editions of newspapers the post age is included in the price, for all for warding charges are paid by the paper itself. The booklets issued by the commercial bodies of Portland and 23 or 30 of the more active organizations of the state are sent Bast without the cost for post age by railroads, land companies and others who have an interest in attract ing the attention of the tourist and investor. Still, the correspondence must of ne cessity pay tribute to the Government, and the enormous extent of this is shown in recent- statements by a few of the organizations of their stamp bills. On this subject Secretary A. F. Hofer, of the Salem Board of Trade, said: 'I find that we have expended $1095 with Uncle Sam in postage for letters. pamphlets, etc. We're getting mfgTity wise about some things. From the stand point of economy we have learned many ways to get the most for our money, even at the expense of the Government in fact, we never send out a package that does not carry all the postage will bear." For 1909 the stamp accounts 6f some of the organizations were: Portland Commercial Club . .93.1M.62 Salem Board of Trade t.OftS.Ort Eugene Commercial Club 1,041.00 Portland Cham-ber of Commerce... 7O0.00 Albany Commercial Club . : 54S.72 Aledfora Commercial Club 510.01 When It is understood that 102 organi zations are embraced in the Oregon De velopment League and that each of these bodies receives every inquiry that comes to the. Portland Commercial Club, and that a large percentage are answering every Inquiry, and that something like 20 have salaried officers who devote all their time to the' work of the organiza tions, one can get some impression' of the story of Oregon as it is being told in all parts of the world. OREGON STANDS SECOND EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF STATE SHOWS GREAT GROWTH. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 22. The search of a mother for her two boys since March, 1908, when they were kidnaped by their father, which con tinued to Alaska and through Western Canada, has Just closed and Mrs. Nellie A. Keegan has returned to this city with the boys from Victoria, B. C. After following the trail to Alaska and losing it. Mrs. Keegan, who secured a divorce from her husband shortly after the kidnaping, was forced to return to Tacoma. A short time ago she took up the trail in Canada and finally lo cated the two boys, 5 and 7 years of age, in a convent three miles from Duncan, on Vancouver Island. Habeas corpus proceedings were started in Canada last Wednesday and the chil dren ware awarded to the mother. No trace has been found of the father. He is said to be in contempt of court in this county for failing to obey a court order to produce the children. Spokane Club Gets Chicago Lads. NEW YORK, Jan. 22 President Lynch of the National League today promulgated the releases by the- Chi cago club to the Spokane club of Paul Brown and Roy Koener. Many New Clergymen Come to Local Field to Aid in Advance tl Church Work. MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Jan. 22. (Spec ial.) The results accomplished by the Episcopal Church during 1909 were made known today through "The Liv ing Church Annual." The diocese of Oregon stands second on the list of dioceses for the percentage of growth, Atlanta coming first. The ratio of in crease in Oregon in communicants Is greater than that of the missionary districts of Olympia, Sacramento, and the dioceses of California and Los An geles combined. , There is a notable iffcrease in the amount of money raised by Episco palians in Oregon, both for their own church work and for missions. The salaries of the two bishops ' in Wash ington and Northern California are paid from New York by the Episcopal General Board of. Missions, but the diocese of Oregon pays its bishop's sal ary of J3000. Of this amount $1500 comes from endowment, and $1500 from assessment on the parishes and misr sions. An effort is being made by the trustees of the endowment fund so to increase the fund that the burden of assessment for the support of the bishop may be removed from the par ishes and missions. In an interview regarding this re port. Bishop Scadding said: "It is with satisfaction and pleasure that Episco palians will read of the standing the diocese of Oregon takes among the dioceses in the United States. The news might give us a bad case of meg alomania were it not for the counter irritant of the consciousness of the many things we have not done, of the many places where we have not grown; of the many who still have but little sense of their financial responsibility for the extension of the ..church.' Let the good news inspire us to do better this year." The bishop attributed the growth to the hard work of the clergy, and to the fact that the clerical force had been increased by the coming of the follow ing: Rev. H. R. Talbot to St. David's; Rev. S. M. Dorrance to" Ashland; Rev. F. B. Bartlett to Grants Pass; Rev. Sharles W. Baker to Roseburg; Rev. William Lucas to Medford; Rev. G Rosenmueller to Astoria; Rev. F. MT Baum to Corvallis: Miss Caroline P. Sheffield, of New York, who is doing deaconess . work in vacant missions; Rev. R." O. Remington to All Saints', Portland, and Rev. O. W. Taylor to St. Johns', Sellwood. "LOAN FUND DAY" NEAR WOMEN'S CLUBS WORK HARD TO ASSURE SUCCESS. Applications From Worthy Young AVomen Must Wait Until Treas ury Is Replenished.

Eggert, chairman of the loan fund com mittee, has sent out an earnest ap peal to all clubwomen to put forth a united efTort to make January 26 not only a red-letter day socially, for clubwomen, but a remunerative one as well for this utilitarian philanthropy. LOCAL COMEDIAN BILLED "Jock" Coleman, Scotch Humorist, to Appear in Seattle. .

THE Y WILL FIT YOU ' E " THE PICTURES LIK Because they are sketched from the real, actual garments, as they ap peared when on a lady. No East ern borrowed commercial" patterns, these. We manufactured elegant garments the past Fall. They were far superior, as every one conced ed, to any garments ever shown in Portland. The demand for them was far greater than we could meet, owing to obstacles, such as insuffi cient working room and force. These conditions have been reme died, and, grand as our Fall gar ments were, the lines, make and style of our Spring garments far outclass them. It's a ease of ex perience, progress the result of painstaking efforts. Now we can say with confidence, our Spring garments are perfect in point -of style, fit, etc. Better fitting gar ments we nor any one else will lie able to make. The height of the art of producing symmetrical, well balanced garments is embodied in our Spring line, a few of which we show herewith. As seasons come and go, varied changes in point of style will come and go, but the art and lines cannot be better "than shown in our Spring garments. Don't blame us or think us con ceited, etc., for we feel that you will recognize these perfection qualities in these garments FOR THRER REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LARGEST EASTERN MAKERS OF GARMENTS have seen our line of sjar ments. If we were here to state all they said, you would not believe it. A lump sum of what they said was this: "Grand." "Elegant." "Equaled by nomine." "New York makes none better." "You don't need to see my line to see better garments," etc., etc. These compliments were not asked for our garments stood on their merit. Nor were the good. words bought,for we do not buy a dollar's worth of goods-of any of them.
