Magnitude of Their Worldwide Ef
forts and Some of the Results Ac
complished. The local Salvation Army people
are getting themselves ready for
"Self-Denlal Week,"' which begins this
year on the 6th Inst., Sunday. Once
every 12 months, every town that has
a band of these faithful workers Is
called upon to help them In raising
money, to provide funds for their
work "among the poor and destitute
of the large cities. During "Denial
Week" many hundred dollars is con
tributed and gotten by sacrifice and
hard work on the part of the army
forces that is used for this laudable
purpose. It is not used for buying
luxuries and things that can be done
without among the poor, but some
thing that is an actual necessity to
the keeping of soul and body to
gether. It is not used, either,' for
those who make it a practice of beat
ing their way through the world, but
In most cases is used for buying food
and clothes for the widows and child
ren who are not able to. make a living
for themselves. This is a' laudable
cause, and everyone who can contrib
ute a little to this good work will feel
better by doing so. The members of
the Salvation Army live daily an ex-
Ing singing and praying with the peo
cally, giving their surplus to the des
titute. But, during this "Denial
Week," they make a special effort to
deny themselves of 'something they
have been using in order to raise a
little extra money, and if they can
do this, surely those who have plenty
of this world's' goods should be wil
ling to help them by contributing
what they feel they can.
The Army's History.
The Salvation Army is only 37
years of age. It was organized in
1865 by General William Booth arid
the first meetings were held in an old
disused burial ground In Bast Lon
don. It was first called the "Chris
tian Mission," but this title was
changed to "Salvation Army" in 1878.
Since that time the good work of the
army has spread to the four corners
of the earth, and in almost every city
in the world can be seen a little band
of them out on the streets every even
ing singing and praying with the peo
ple and exhorting them to become
followers of Christ. They have
grown and multiplied, by their good
works, until today the army numbers
719 corps and outposts, 3024 officers
and employes, and they are credited
with 45,000 conversions annually.
They spend $300,000 each 12 months
in relieving the poor and destitute,
and accommodate on an average of
9000 people every night with com
fortable beds free- of charge. They
have 69 working men's hotels, six
women's hotels, 20 food depots, 28 in
dustrial homes for the unemptoyed,
three farm colonies, five employment
bureaus, and, find employment for
1500 people monthly. They have and
maintain -20 rescue homes for fallen
women and care for 1500 of these
each year; three children's homes
and four clay nurseries, so that it will
readily be seen .by the casual observ
er that the Salvation Army has a
lauiliblo purr of e In view. Many peo
pje condemn it for the method of.
raising money, but when it is known
to what ends this money is used,
every individual should lend' a help
ing hand.

This is to bo remedied. The rooms
at the east end of the main court
room are to be removed and the
judge's bench placed nearer tho outer
wall without any room and second
wall behind htm. The room is to be
cut in two and made considerably
smaller than It Is at present, and sev
eral office rooms will be fitted up In
the west end of the building. Just
what changes will be made has not
yet been determined, but Architect T.
F. Howard has been ordered to draw
up plans for the change and they will
bo submitted to the county court when
it meets in May. If the plans and

adopted and. work ordered at once to
make the changes.

choose one that is held in high es

know Its value from personal exper

can take its place as a cure for belch

Some material changes and repairs
are soon to be made at the court

county judge and commissioners that
something ought to be done with the
.large circuit court room, for it is a no
torious fact that in its present state a
man canno speak in it with any de

Subsiding and the Quarantine Soon
Will Be Raised at the Prison.
Walla Walla, April 3. The small
pox situation m the state penitentiary
has been gotten well in hand. If no
new developments occur In a day or
two the quarantine will be raised and
the prison thrown open. Since the
scare first occurred the public has
been refused admittance to the prison
entirely, and all newspapers and
packages have been held for fumiga
tion. Unimportant papers have not'
been delivered at all. This plan has
proved very satisfactory and the
disease has been gotten under con
trol. Every precaution has been taken
and thorough disinfection has been
kept up. It is expected that the quar
antine will be raised this week.
Rain Helps Crops.
A much-needed rain fell in this sec
tion yesterday,, a steady shower fall
ing for an hour or two. The amount
of water was not large, but the good
which it will do to crops just at this
time is hard to estimate. For several,
days rain has been badly needed, as
the ground was dry and grain refused
to start In many places. The grain
that had sprouted and reached the
surface failed to grow as it should.
The rain of yesterday has given the
water needed, and with a few days of
sunshine crop prospects will im
prove rapidly. The sun came out yes
terday eveinng and real spring weath
er seemed to n.-ve arrived.
Many Prisoners Received.
Twenty-cne prisoners were received
at tho state penitentiary yesterday,
the largest number enrolled in sever
al months on any given day. The
"men came from the sound, and the
sentences which they will serve range
from one. to 20 years. Two women
came from King county. This makes
the total population of the prison 584,
the largest In the history of the in
stitution. LETTER OF A YOUNG JAP.

There is a Japanese boy in Pendle
