TLe eight annual meeting of the synod
of the Presbyterian ch xreh of the s*a'e
of Washington came to an end yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, the entire session
havlnp been characterSaed by the utmost,
harmony and the large amiunl of work
that has be* n a f -i omini»hed. There has
been an unusually large attendance, the
bulk of it. as might have been expected,
coming frcm west of the mountains.
The last business of the day, besides
the passing of a number of resolutions of
thanks for courtesies shown the visiting
ci«r>:vm<n. was the selection of Sfiokane
for the s> -slon of the* synod for ISl>B.
The morning meeting was called to or
der at 9;::o, and the proceedings were
opened by prayer by the moderator. Rev.
P. O. Ghormloy. Following the reading
and adoption of the minutes of the pre
vious d"<y's sessions the report of the
committee on education, covering the do
ings of the board of the entire church,
was submitted. The report was largely
statistical, relating to the assistance ren
dered j Ming men in completing college
and academical courses.
The mo«t Important question that has
come before this year's synod was that
of the proposed change in the ' >catlon

METHODISM IN ALASKA.
Rev. C. J. !jr« n Appointed Presid
ing Elder—Methodist Preachers
Have a Social *e**?nn.
A very enjoyable social session of the
Seattle Meth <3l -t Pr»'arher«' Meeting w\a
held at Trinity M F.. church yesterday.
It wa> an occa?: n in w ich the preach
er's wives and a number of friends par
ticipated. Rev. J. N. Martin, vie© pr.**i-
dent, opened (he meeting and Rev. A. At
wood conducted the devotional exercises.
Dr. Wiimot Whitfield read a very inter
esting paper on "Perils to the Home." He
pointed out the poisonous character of the
sensational novel as a means of corrupt
ing American home lift, and thought 'he
preachers should find out what the peo
ple were reading. The discussion was
quite pointed, and those who spoke »x
--pr«>ssed a deep conviction that impure

and sensational reading was a great de
moralizer. The author of the paper, in
response to a question, said that in out
ward appearance the popular literature of
the day was improving, but that in real
ity it was rn re dangerous than that ft
the past, because the evil was more care
fully concealed beneath a garb of re
spectability. He impressed the preach
ers with th" importance of gaining prompt
1 attention to the general protection of .ho
home in this respect.
Kev. C. J I.arsen. recently appointed
presiding elder of Alaska district by
Rishcp McCabe, was pres. Nt, and gave
an Interesting account of his sel» tlon .s

County Auditor Evenson says that th p re
will be "no loss to the taxpayers of King
county growing out of the mistake maoe
by the state board of equalization .n .. e
matter of the return made by the county
board of equalization.
In Sunday's Post-Intelligencer. Chair
man Ryan, of the board of county com
m ssioners, was quoted as saying that the
equalized valuation on railroad tracks n
the county had been a<lrt d twice to the
sum total, as returned by the county
auditor. Mr. Evenson said last night that,
after a conversation had over the tele
phone with State Auditor Cheetham Sun
day he beKevs th- va'.uati n for K:ng
county was fixed by the state board of
equalization with a full knowledge of t::e
facts.
M~. Evenson believes that the state
board, on finding that the apparent valua
tion on K n; BCMTIty was ||Mt MMM
after adding the $2.055.270 for railroad
track a second time, determined to make a
cut of U.tttO.OOO. After learning from his
letter to the state auditor, dated October
2. that the railroad track and improve
ments had already been included In the
total of S3T.UI.SS2. they concluded that this
figures was not far wrong.
"I do not see." said Mr. Evenson, "how
any double payment is to be made by the
taxpay rs of Kin? county. No mistake
was made in our office. The blanks fur
nished for me to fill out were returned
correctly, and the wrong impression of the
state board regarding the railroad track
valuation was corrected in my letter ot
October 2."
