Just why this pit of a business deal should be men- tioned in the daily press will not be poderstuod by many common folks. Such transactions have ceased to be alarmingly significant.

E. Higgins. known as. the “Lumber Camp Evangelist’’, spoke at the House. of Hope Presbyterian church last night. “An audience that taxed the capacity of the edifice listen- ed while Hr. Higyins told of the-work which be has made a life study and to which he had dedicated his future, says the St. Paul Globe. The speaker is a man apparently well suited for the work. Possess of a-strong, well knit frame, voice in keeping with his. phys appearance, he disdains ‘the regular apparel of the minister, and instead, dresses in an every day business suit and has a natural appearance of aman used to hardships. Mr. Higgins was born in the lum- bering districts of Ontario, and until he was twenty years of age, worked with the lumbermen. taking part in their every day duties and at the sume time uncousciously fitting bim- self Jur the labors which afterwa presented themselves to him as neces- sary to the, welfare of the lumbermen. AU the age of twenty Mr. Higgins started tu study for the Presbyterian thinistry, but during a visit to the Juuber camps, was invited to speak to the men, and then was seized with the thought that20,000 men were in the woods every winter without the least possible chance of hearing the gospel. For the next seven years he tried to prevall upon the missionary board of the Fresbyterian church to take meas- ures to .reach the men, with the result that several years ago he was appointed to act as a missouary, and since that time has been ictively engaged in traveling throughout the camps, preaching and distributing reading matter and-aiding the men in allthe other ways which presented themselves. The saloons and gunling aati that line the rallroads leading lo. every camp, and ofveiitimes located within astone’s threw ‘ot, themen, are the hardest barriers that 1 Ineet’’, said | Mr. Higgins. “As soou as the road is laid vut to a new camp thé saloun- keepers and gamblers go abead along the line, and when the camps are ready fur oeeupancy, iq uor and gamb- ling devices ‘greet the meu on every hand. 2 “My territory, over which my work extends, covers 200 miles. north and south of the Green river, It contains | over 250 lumber camps and: presents | to my attention over 20.000 men. Of course, only asmall part of this .terri- tory can be covered by one man, bub we now have five n issionaries in the | tield and need niany more. The Jum- bermen are themselves liberal in the support of the werk, and annually give a large sum to the missionaries, although the greater part of this is immediately expended in the pure chase of reading matter. ‘The greatest need in this work. is for men who will go: into the woods, deny themselves the comfort of a dermistery « Moose Hide of these goods. what.

It is an interesting fact that Amer- ican Industries, the organ of the Parryites, labor, rejoices in the faet tbat-Dunn was defeated in Minnesota because he pused as a unioniprinter and because he was running onan eight-hour plank in the state ,latform.” It will per- haps not disturb the joy of these Par- ryites. to learn that these matters were given nu consideration whatever im the campaign, and that the eight- hour provision will in all probability become a law abt the next session of the legislature, novwitbstanding Dunn’s defeai. Dunn lost no votes because he was a tinion printer. But this rejoicing of the Parryites argan over the suppused defeat of Dunn because he was running on ah eighs-hour platform, while all the other candidates who were running on the same platform were elected, shows the true animus of this organi- zation, It is not union labor alone uhat they are fighting, but all labor, which is plainly indicated by their opposition to the establishment of the eight-hour day. Lt will no doubt be found by one who follows their utterances closely that they are also upposed to all other desirable and h@mane measures proposed and advo- cated by the organized workmen of the country. ‘They want Lo perpetuate home and preach to the workers.
