C Poling baa Just returned om Cvt-rg" where A repraaenied da Oregon United Evangelical Conference t the meetlnr of the Oeneral Confer ence Commissioners appointed to pre pare plans for the organic union of th Evangelical Association and tha Lnlted Evangelical Churches. Rev. Mr. Poling said yesterday that 41 delegates were present from differ ent portlona of the United States and that all were enthusiastic for organic union as spon as It can be brought about.

If the plana are approved they will then go before th Ueneral Conference of the United Evangelical Church for consideration. Mr. Poling Is confident that organic anion will com as a result of this movement, and that It was of apeclal Interest to th conferences of both Evangelical branches In Oregon, which have worked for union for several year. Th Unltd Brethren Church waa not represented at th conference but that church is included in th general plan for organic nn'on and will be considered later. measurThasTriends VIEWS OV 8ECOXD-CHOICE BIIX A HE EXPRESSED. Experience of Other States Haa Been Kavorahle, Sajs Locke. Mariner Tells IIItorj. If Governor West Tetoe tha Rusk second-choice bill, as it haa been 'n tlmated he will, such action will be unfavorable to tha wishes of the anti Assembly members of th Legislature who were th originators and sponsors for this measure. This la known from sentiments expressed by members of tha Legislature from Multnomah Coun ty and from other counties. Inter views with members from this county, who could ba reached last night, showed that th majority desire this bill to become a law. "f certainly believe that the second choice bill Is an excellent measure and that It should be approved by Gov ernor West." said Senator Locke, a member of the Multnomah County dole gatlon In the upper house of the Legis lature. "Th way similar bills have worked out In actual campaigns In neighboring states I think Is an illus tration of th good effects of It." "I think I voted for the bill." eald W. J. Clemens, who served In the lower house. "As to whether it should be vetoed. I hardly know. Were I Gover nor. I would not veto a bill. I think. If It carried by good majorities In both branches of the Legislature. I think this bill had small majorities. It waa a pretty close pull." "I voted against th bill because I was hardly satisfied with It," aald Representative Abbott. "While I am not thoroughly satisfied with our pres ent primary law. etlll I did not under stand this bill sufficiently to vote for It. As to whether the Governor shonld veto It. I shall not make any state ment." "In my opinion, th Governor should ustala th vote of th Legislature and approve tha bill." said Representative Bryant. "Unless tha Governor finds something in the bill that I do not know of h should approve It- I think It is a good measure." "1 would not say whether the Gov ernor should veto or approve th measure. M said Representative Collins. "Personally. 1 think it la a good measure." W. J. Mariner, Representative of Gil liam. Wheeler and 8herman counties, who was in Portland last night, said: "I notice a good deal In some papers as to the authorship of this bill. Papers which oppose It are saying It was really fathered by Senator Bower man. If the Governor thinks that, be is mistaken; It was drawn JoinUy by Slnnott and GUL of Wasco County, and Speaker Rusk. It was introduced by tne tpeaker because It waa felt rt would give It more prestige. I think myself It Is a deserving measure and should be approved by the Governor, but. above everything else. I think it should be acted upon by him only after knowing all of tha facta u to lu ori gin and purpose."

At one place the Mount Hood people took in by team for a distance of about six mileg no less than 40 dump cara, two small locomotives, a steam shovel and two miles of railroad track. Including ties, rails and a mile or more of lumber for trestles. This way of building a rail road was duplicated at several other places, only on a smaller' scale.
