The measure of 'the Sunday school's
growth' is found In the national,--Internationa!
and world conventions.' - When,
In 1826, the second annual-convention
of the American Sunday School union
was held, the report of all the Sunday
schools of the nation for the preceding
years was summed thus: "Tour auxil
iaries report 468 teachers and 6S3 schol

United States there-were then 180,000
Sunday school -pupils,:; 1.8 .per cent of
the population, ana in the whole world

nternational body' which was held in
1906 at Toronto, Canada,' It was -' re
ported that 217,183 pupils had been add

72,000 a year against the- 6S2 scholars
who had become ."hppefulljr, pious". In

Where the leaders of church and state
had opposed htm in the nret outer, up
hill years, the new century brought to
his work not only tolerance, but the co
operation of preeldents of the United
States, chief Justices., bishops, govern
ors and educators of prominence. Tho
archbishop of Canterbury bitterly op
posed the earlier Sunday schools, yet
so great has been the revolution of
sentiment mat no less un iirar prwi.

Lane to 'veto tho ordinance recently

mediums, fortune tellers and clairvoy

claim that It Is unconstitutional and
therefore should not bo allowed to be

' Juat what Mayor Lane will do with
the measure Is uncertain. He said to
day that . he. had not decided What
course he would pursue and had not
had time to study the measure suf
ficiently. Mayor Lane has until Mon
day In which to veto the ordinance or
to approve it -
The point raised as to ' the constitu

sage reading, "either for or without
Pay,"- the spiritualists claim that while
the city has a right to regulate the col
lection of money for performing their
beliefs that it has not the right to
prohibit them from enjoying the right
to make their own religion and practic
ing it without pay. ,
whether the spiritualists have inter

. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Florence Placer Mining Company, ,
held at its office, 220 Commercial Club Building, last evening, at which there were
present Hon. John B. Cleland, President; George U Peaslee, -Vice-President t Richard
C, Hartf Secretary and Treasurer; W. A."Cleland and CapUia J. F. Boone, Directors,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted: .
STIFFENING UP TRMS
Whereas, It is the sense of the officers and directors of The Florence Placer '
Mining Company that no more shares of said company be disposed of than is abso- -
Jutely necessary to place its plant in operation, to the end that the sura of money '
upon which it will pay dividends be kept to the lowest possible limit, and,
m Whereas, It is the belief of this "Board that the time , is not far distant-when
.the productionof the Florence Placers will of itself more than pay for its operation,
and that we shall not1 long require installment payments to meet the operating ex
penses, therefore, be it a
-Resolved, That, beginning with July 15, 1908, shares will be sold on installments
of 25 per cent down and 25 per cent per month and that on August 15 and thereafter '
our terms will be spot cashT if the STOCK BE NOT WITHDRAWN. .
MAY STOP All to

If everything goes along as successfully 1 and favorably as since oar Mr. Perks
pefirsn work, it is likely that we shall withdraw all shares on August 15, and possibly
before, The indications are that our giants will be throwing water earlier than we
expected, which will obviate the necessity of air further stock selling, but under no
circumstances do we desire to sell shares on installments funning later than September.
WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT BY DECEMBER 1 WE SHALL PAY A DIVI
DEND EQUAL TO THE FULL AMOUNT PAID FOR STOCK.
So that thereafter all dividends will be clear money, and these will last for 25
years to come. We speak so confidently of this because this mine is placer ground,
and before we bought it we had pur present engineer, H. B. Perks, thoroughly sample '
it The results of that sampling are given in detail in a booklet which we mail free,
and every detail concerning the property is likewise contained in this publication
There is also a cut of the property, showing the ten miles of channel or creek bed '
belonging to this company, as well as the ditches now ready' for the water so soon as f
L500 feet of flume is completed. In fact it tells all the facta about thia part of th
Florence district from, which .
MORE THAN $100,000,000 IN GOLD HAS BEEN TAKEN,
And the richest of it all is that belonging to us, none of which has ever been -mined,
because the gravel has to be elevated to be washed, and never before has
there been an elevator anywhere in that part of , Idaho, We have 540 acres of
bottom land beds of ancient creeks or one large river into which for centuries
gold has been deposited by the torrents of water that have, annually dashed down the -mountain
gulches, carrying with it everything in its path, v , 4.
THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PLACER
- GOLD HIDDEN IN THESE MEADOWS OR BOTTOM LANDS IS
ABSOLUTELY KNOWN, ,
' Because, as we have said, we had our engineer and a corps of helpers sink ;
shafts and wash the gravel, so that1 we KNOW what we are talking about, and
WE ARE CONFIDENT WE SHALL PAY AT LEAST 200 PER CENT
PER ANNUM -v'-
on all moneys we receive. If we shall decide to place a second elevator next year,
the amount will be, most probably, 400 per cent. Unlike quartz mining, THIS IS
NOT A GUESS. We KNOW the richness of our grround, and just so sure as men
live this will be found to be one of the most profitable enterprises ever launched in '
Oregon. ... .:, -'v?). ., - " .'. ;;. -...-.

It is generally thought that mill construction is cheaper than the MOD
ERN FIREPROOF SYSTEM of STEEL or REINFORCED CON
CRETE. We stand ready to prove that, while the first cost MAY favor
mill construction A TRIFLE, this is more than offset by reduced cost of
maintenance, reduced insurance rate, greater safety and permanence in the
better class of structure, and in trie end STEEL and CONCRETE WIN!
Write us. Our mushroom system of REINFORCED CONCRETE will
convert you. 0 : i '' . '
