Story Is Read of
Old Circuit Riders
SANDY, Sept. 20 Mrs.Lena St. Clair
read a sketch of the old Powell Valley
circuit riders and their works, at thJ
Methodist quarterly conference ses
sion held at Pleasant Home, which is
of interest to a large number of Enter
prise readers. As months go into
yeara the pioneer interests of this sec
tion slip a little farther back into his
tory, and it is refreshing wbtn some
one digs into the past and brings on',
a story of "real life," for it took
strong souls and strong bodies to en
dure the hardships made the way for
the coming of our present blessings.
A portion of Mrs. St. Clair's Sketch
is as follows: "The first missionary
confeirnce of the Methodist church
in Oregon met at Salem in IS 19 and
at this session James H. Wilbur was
appointed pastor at Oregon City and
Portland. The old Pc well Valley re
cords go back to 1S53, the year Bishop
Ames organized the Oregon, annual
conference at Salem.
The first quarterly conference ot
the new charge was held at E. It.
Scott's residence, Fair-view. Jaine
Gerrish was pastor and he was allowed
$300 for table expenses for the year.
A Sunday School was organized at the
Scott residence that summer and n
October the second quarterly confer
ence convened at Columbia school
bouse, which was knewn at the timi
as the White school house, or Lebanon
class, later becoming the Powell Val
ley class and still later Gresham.
"The third qutrterfy conference was
les. There was a church reported
built at Sandy and a Sunday School
organized at Wilmot's school house,
held in the winter of 1S54 at The Dal
This, latter point was at what i& now
known as the Wilkes school house.
At tho annual conference of "55 the
Vancouver, Cascade and The Dalles
circuit was divided and ths part of
the territory became the Milwaukie
Sandy circuit with G C. Roe, preacher,
in charge. G- W. Roork was added as
assistant at $10 a month, which was
estimated as table expenses.
"In a steward's report, July 20,
1855, Richey's class is mentioned,
which was located in what is now
Pleasant Valley. In November '55
Arcon Kelly, 'of the Orient class
meniioned. This is now P!easrJit
Hon-e.
"At a quarterly conference of the
Milwaukie-Sandy circuit. held at
Eagle Creek, October 11, !S5C, a reso
lution was passed recommending the
publication of the Pacific Christian
Advocate at Portland instead of Sa
lem. .- "Between '55 and '75 the pastors ;f
the Milwaukie-Sandy circuit were J
W. Miller, J. H. p.. Royal, C- O. Hos
ford. C. G. Helnap. C. H. Hall, N. A.
Starr, W I Casper, J S. MoLain, Joseph
Hoberg and Wallace Hulburt. Louis
Albert Banks was engaged to assist
his uncle, W. Hulburt, tor four monihs
at $25 a month J. H. Wood who lives
at Gresham says he remebers the Hc
tle pioneer church at Sandy which w:is
built in 1855.

first quarterly cenferene;3 in 'S0-'SI

Taxes Are Explained
To Orient Grangers
SANDY, Sept. 20. The Pomona
grange at Orient this week wa? well at
tended. There were about 13," se&fd
at the first table in the large dining
hall, and during the day ever 300
pople were fed. Many Portland grang
ers were present and the entire ses
sion was of much interest.
Aaiong the speakers of the day was
Ira Carl, lawyer of Portland, who gave
exhaustive figures to tell why taxes
are so high; summing it al! up said
it was because the people voted them
for road and other improvement;
claiming, however, that the licenses
fees and gas tax would cover the ap
propriations made by the last legis
lature for roads. ' He stated that the
people themselves, over ihe .state at
larg3. voted an increase of ever six
million outside of the constitutional
limitation laws
