STUCK BOUGHT By BflfS EDTXATIOXAL WORK IX TILLA MOOK BEARS GOOD FRUIT. County Has Honor of Being First in Oregon to Subscribe Quota for International Pavilion. TTHEELER, Or., March 20. (Spc etal.) O. M. Plummer, manager of the Pacific International Livestock show, has just closed a week's edu rational work in Tillamook countv. The entertainment given by him was free and consisted of moving pictures of the first stock show held in the new pavilion, in Portland last No vember. Lectures were also delivered by Rollie W. Watson, Ben Kuppenbcn- aer, iay jjaniei and other promi nent dairymen and business men. Miows were given in Tillamook, Clov erdale, Hebo. Nehalem and Wheeler. One of the features of the week's campaign was the large number of business men, loggers, mill men and dairymen who attended, accompanied by their families. Tillamook county is still in her Infancy as a dairy county and will doublie her dairy products in a short time Besides the educational value of these meetings, over $1760 worth of stock in the Pacific International Livestock pavilion was subscribed for by people of this county. The original quota for Tillamook county was JJoOO but when the results of the past week's work were checked up it was discovered that this quota had been exceeded by $1000. To thi3 county belongs the honor of being the first in Oregon to go over the top with its quota. Mr. Plummer and other leading dairy enthusiasts were especially elated over the large number of boys ana gins wno suDscnoed for stock. BOSTON, March 20. (Special.) The following is part of a letter sent to day to all Christian Science churches and societies, signed by 122 ex employes of the Christian Science Publishing society: "As the press has given currency to reports that many employes of the Christian Science Publishing society have recently resigned, we feel that the field should be informed of the motive which has actuated so many Christian Scientists voluntarily to give up their positions in the publish ing house. While many workers have been dismlsed or have resigned dur ing the past year, others of us have felt that we could serve the cause most effectively by remaining in our places, even though under increas ingly difficult conditions. "We have been in a position to see that, regardless of the many appeals and remonstrances from the field, both from churches and from individuals, what seemed to us a destructive, un christian and disloyal policy was be ing pursued. Such a policy, if contin ued, would result in the adulteration of Christian Science and the nullifica tion of our church manual, with con sequent loss to the world. of the ef- ' fectual ministries for good established with God's guiding hand by our leader. "Following the resignations of Mr. MeKenzie, Mrs. Hoag. Mr. Seeley and others of the editorial staff of the Christian Science periodicals on March 12 because, we understand, editorial authority had been usurped by a mem ber of the board of trustees, the va cancies were filled by this trustee, which act. In our opinion, is an open violation of article XXV, sections and 5, of the manual. Thus we were brought face to face with the problem of remaining in the publishing house and taking part in the printing an circulation of periodicals which we regard as having ceased to be organ of the mother church, or of takin our individual stand for the manua and resigning our positions. Those of us who have not been dismissed have chosen to resign."

The un- aualified support of 90,000 Illinois miners, through representatives session here, today, was given Alex ander Howat, state president of Kansas, when he announced a pro gramme for the launching of a -gen eral miners' strike in Kansas, in de fiance of state laws there which are I now said to prohibit strikes of any I nature.

"The law calls for Imprisonment of two years and a fine of $u000 for any one who participates in or calls strike," Howat said, "but come what will, whether or not .my. bones rot a prison cell, I am going to fight this law with the forces of 12,000 miners I in Kansas and regardless of conse-1 quences give Governor Allen cause I to remember that organized labor I must and will have the right to cease work at its will. Let the consequences be what they may, there is no power on eartn, in junction or otherwise, that vll make me can oil una ftiriKe. xiiu BLriKe will be called by me in the very near Minna Plnlir. Rnaiuirf. Kansas suffered a four-year strike before representatives of organized labor won recognition and this fight is to be repeated soon, repeated solely because the rights of free men to cease work have been denied by Gov ernor Allen."
