REVEREND
Rev.
B. Hays returned this morning
from a meeting of the session if the
Presbyterian synod of this city which was
held at Newport this year. As hai been
stated before in the Observer. MrL Hays
was horored by the members of the: Synod
with election to the highest office within
the gift of the session, that of Moderator.
While this honor was totally unexpected
by Mr. Hays, owing to the fact that ha $
a comparatively new man in this state
nu ii iiaiuiaiiy tr.crc wsr;
others who had been personally identified
with the w.rk in this field should ba plac
ed at the head of the Presbyterian
interests of Oregon. The election of Mr.
Hays' fs but another demonstration of the
old saying "That a man is Judged by
his works, and though he-to-fore his
labors have been confirmed to a neigh
boring state, his reputation for
accomplishing results has been such as
to make it apparent to the leaders of the
Presbyterian church in this state that h
is the man best fitted to carry forward
the work here.
Vhile Mr. Hays needs no introduction in
this, his home city, where he has been ever
found working with the progressive class,
and at all times striving to advance the
spirted and material welfare of the city,
we publish the following facts:
The following county school clerks are
this week leceiving the October allotment
of county and state funds, from ooudty
