Interesting Services at the First
Presbyterian Church Historic
Reminlscenes. ;
The 10th anniversary of the organi
zation of the First Presbyterian church
of this city, was celebrated with appro
priate services last Sunday..
In the morning the pastor delivered a
memorial sermon, taking as his text,
"These Stones Shall be a Memorial to
the Children of Israel Forever." There
was communion service in the after
noon at 3 o'clock, and in the evening
the sermon was historical The text
was from Zacbariah; 4:10 "Who Hath
Despised the Day of Small Things."
Eev. Montgomery then gave a brief his
tory of the beginning of Presbyterian
ism on the Pacific slope, telling how
Dr. Marcus Whitman and others com
menced missionary work on this coast.
In 1834 Eev. Parker and Dr. Whit
man attended the annual gathering of
Hudson Bay traders at Fort Hall, and
while there met some Nez Perce In
dians, who invited them to go along
and do missionary work among their
people. Dr. Whitman had already
been to the Oregon section, and was on
his way East to bring out a company of
, immigrants. Rev Parker returned
with tne Indians, Dr. bpaulding and
Mr. Gray also, did missionary work
among tho IndianB.
The first fresoytenan church on tht

Pacific coast was formed at Willapa,
near Walla Walla in leas, boon after
ward a Presbyterian church was formed
at Lapwai, now in the Nes Perce reser
vation, Idaho. In 1833 or 1840 a Pres
byterian church was orgunized and met
in Day & Robertson's Btore in that part
of Oregon City then called Lynn City.
The building stood near where the
lockshouse now stands. The congrega
tion met there for several years, a num
ber of people still living, who attended
services in this building. In 1845, by a
vote of the congregation, it became the
First Congregational church of Oregon
City. Dr. Whitman, no doubt, attended
services in this church, occasionally, as
he was a frequent visitor to Oregon
City. About the same time the Oregon
City church was organized, one was es
tablished at Forest Grove, which subse
quently became a Congregational
church.
Some years ago there was an Associ
ated Presbyterian organization here,
Rev. Blain, of Albany, occasionally
holding services.
In 1888 Rev. E. T. Engle was com-

The Blue River Mines. (
The Oregon City stockholders in
the Blue River mines may yet bedme
bloated bondholders, as the most en
couraging reports are being received
from there. The Eugene Guard of a
late date says :
The Blue River mining district has
been prospected by miners ever since
the '60's and it has been known that
the quartz was rich in gold. During
the past five years considerable perma
nent development wont nas oeen in
dulged in. The Lucky Boy mine.owned
by the Brownsville company has run
several feet ot tunnels ana uncovereu a
rich ledge. ,'
About a month ago F. 0. Sharkey, a
member of the Zimmerman Packing
Cor, of Portland, and a well known mi
ner, with other associates, purchased an
extensive interest in the claims. Mr.
Sharkey has taken personal supervision
of the mine and now has a force of men
building a road to his newly acquired
property, and is also building a num
ber of cabins for workmen.
A ten-stamp mill of the latest pattern
has been ordered from Chicogo and it is
expected to arrive in Eugene in about
two or three weeks. Thjj) mill will be
taken to the mines at once and in due
time will be placed in position. By
early spring it will be hammering gold
out of the rich quartz of that district.
A letter received this morning trom
Blue river by the Guard, says that Mr.
Sharkey has hired 40 men to work on
the four miles of road needed to reach
the Lucky Boy mine. He estimates
that a good road can be constructed this
distance for the sum of $4,000, which
his rnmnanv is furnishing.
The other dav Joseph Pepiot, with
one team, hauled 1.600 pounds of freight
to the Blue River Mining Company's
mine This mine is owned by Oregon
City parties.

An Interesting Gathering at Carus
Last Saturday.
About 40 teachers are reported to

(jeoeraohv was presented py miss
Finley, and H. S. Gibson, L. L. Moore
and others pnrticipated in the discus
sion that fallowed.
A splendid dinner was served to the
visiting teachers at the home of Will
Jones by the Carus people.
In the history discussion the matter
was brought up as to the advisability of
teaching all the truths in history, as ot
tentimes there were traits in the char'
acters of great men that were immoral.
The sentiment prevailed in favor of
teaching the truth, but to avoid bung
ing up the bad features, as much as pos
sible.
Shirley Buck, of Oanby, presented
Maxwell's Grammar, and How to
Teach it." He was followed in the die
cussion by Miss Finley and Mr. Gibson
Miss Lizzie McDonnell, ol west Ore

pressed for County Superintendent
Strange, and ic was unanimously voted
to send him a copy of the resolutions to
Mr. Strange at tst . Vincent's hospital.
It was decided to hold the next meet
