HELD SUNDAY
One of the most impressive church
services ever held in the city was that
last Sunday morning at Holy Trinity
Lutheran church, consecrating Miss
Annie Powlas to the mission work of
Japan. The church was filled with
members of the congregation, many
visiting ministers, and friends from
far and near.
The opening service was conducted
by Rev. C. R. W. Kegley, pastor of
Holy Trinity, and Rev; J. C. Peery,
pastor of St. Andrew's, Lenoir Col
lege. Dr. C. L. Brown, secretary of
the board of Foreign Missions o the
United Lutheran church of America,
preached a most forceful sermon, em
phasizing the urgency of the work
and the need of workers and money
in the mission fields of the world in
the present crisis. ,
After the sermon Dr. Brown escort
ed Miss Powlas to the altar for the
service of consecration. ' This beau
tiful and touching service was con
ducted by Dr. M. M. Kinard of Sal
isbury. At the close of the service
the congregation passing out grasp
ed hands With Miss Powlas, wishing:
her a safe voyage to Japan, to which
she is to sail in about' ten days, and
a great harvest of souls in her work
for the Master.
This was a red-letter day for Ho
ly Trinity, as there are only twenty
Lutheran churches in America this
year to have the honor of holding
mission consecration sercvices.
It is felt that the members of this
congregation, together with the mem
bers of many other congregations
present on this -inspiring occasion,
are now filled with the : steadfast pur
pose to do more for missions than
ever before.

UP PAINTED STREAM
By the Associated Press.
Cordova, Alaska, August 10.
Completion of a projected automo
bile road of 18 miles up the beds of
'painted streams" is
expected to
open to tourists from all parts of
the world the Valley of Ten Thous
and Smokes, in the Mount Katmai
region of Alaska, about 80 miles
north of Kodiak Island.
Enterprising motion picture pro
ducers, following scientific expedit
ions into the strange valley, hstve
returned here with films of the myr
iad "smokes" and with reports ot a
shorter and easier route into
district. 1
When th Katmai volcano erupted
in 1912 and covered thousands of
square miles with, ash and pumice,
killing all vegetation and game and
wiping out more than one settle
ment, it was regarded as a great
calamity. But the eruption uncov
ered a strange formation which is
declared to be one of the wonders of
the world.
The "smokes," literally thousand8
of them, are clouds or jets of steam
under various pressures, emitted
from holes and remarkab1 colored
the solidified" volcanic
caverns m
day. The ent're valley, which is
shaped somewhat like a clover leaf,
fems to be eraduallv solidifying.
The Indian who recently guided a
motion picture party said many
souare miles, covered with semi
liquid hot mud a ear ago, are now
''rossd with difrcu'tv.
In one of the three arms of the
vallev is a "live" glacier, at the foot
of which is a beaut;ful cobnlt blue
lake of hnt water. In another arm
'"s the Falling Mountain, down whose
fece roll continually huge boulders
broken off near the snowcapped
peaks by variations of temperature.
Besides the scenic poss'bilities the
vallev is said to possess vast depos
its of virtually pure sulphur, arsenic
fnd other chemicals. Black sand

COST OF SHELL PLANT
FAR ABOVE ESTIMATE
WasHington, Sept. 2. The house
.subcommittee investigating ordnance
ex pCtttKt'jrro -during the war, last night
made public testimony taken in its
hearing showing that the government
shell loading plant at Fort Dela
ware, uncompleted when the armis
tice was signed, has cost the govern
ment to date $14,000,000 although the
estimated cost when the contract was
let on the cost plus basis was placed
at from $1,250,000 to $1,500,000. .
The difference between the estimat
ed cost and the total thus far paid
'.out by the government for the build
ing of the plant is shown in testi-
i mony grven Dy Liieut. l,oi. ti. ti. tiaw-

kms, oi th ordance department, and
a report made last October by Maj.
Clair Foster, of the construction di
vision of the army, and inserted by the
committee in the records.
The contract for the plant was let
to the Marlin Rockwell corporation,
which organized a subsidiary concern
known as the Marlin Rockwell Load
insr companv, which in turn contracted
'with the Fred T. Ley company for
construction of the big plant and ad
joining town to house 20,000 persons.
Major Foster's report cites some of
the salaries paid by the loading com-
vany ?nd the Ley company, with ad-
vances in pay made after a few
months service. The manager of the
former company, the report asserts,
hnd his salary raised from $10,000 to
$15,000; the assistant manager, "a
'ivver and former bond salesman,"
from $12,000 to 15.000; the chief en
g'neer from $7,500 a year with $180
a month for livmsr expenses, to $10,

$4,800 to $6,0Q0. Of the treasurer, the
report said:
"Government officers questioned as
to the treasurer's duties said they
had never been able to see that he did
anyth'ng except endorse the govern
ment's checks and sign those of the
loading company."
"Please bear in mind," said. Ma
