"Take the map of Africa," he said; "half it, and half It again, and in the middle of the middle is my mission, 200 miles farther inland than Living ston penetrated. I have prepared a testament for my natives. I can teach the word of God, but we must have schools to carry on our task. Each school costs $500. New York gaVe me four, Philadelphia three and other cities one. Can't Portland give me one, too?" he pleaded. "My natives would be Christians if they could; you could help make them Christians if you would. Why not get together on this proposition T' Crawford's addresses were curious mixtures of wit, caustlclsm, religious fervor and cynicism. "What do I see In Portland. Oregon?" he exclaimed. "Signs saying go to church Sunday? Why, I thought Sunday was the day vou were supposed to go to church. lie condemned savagely the Ideal of modern society that success is gauged in terms n worldly goods, pleading al most tearfully for help for his natives. Crawford declared also that this was his last trio to civilization. "I am dis gusted with the snobbery, the selfish ness of it all." he exclaimed, "and am going back to finish my work among the blacks, who never argue whether there is a God. Tou will never see me again. This meeting of ours Is tragic. Help me, I ask you." i '?Z'K''!--"'''"'K'T!b. J n't' ' r VV' ' " IK t - I -pm '-trm. -,-" Se?:ij i Dan Crawford.

The plan was launched with the Idea of bonding the proposed municipality for light and power service. The landslide against the measure was somewhat of a surprise to the voters.
