FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
From the beginning of the Wesley
an movement the Methodists have
been pioneers. They have gone be
fore in the march of civilization West
ward." The circuit rider has a fore
runner of American and Christian
evangelization. The cross and the flag
have gone together, and been planted
aa the standards of the new order in
industrial and social, enducation and
christian progress. ,
The Methodists were among the first
to enter the old Oregon country with
purposes and plans of conquest. The
original Methodist church edifice erec
ted in this city in 1842-3, was the first
protestant church building erected
west of the Rocky mountains. It is
the oldest of all the churches in the
Northwest. It is the mother church.
It has a historial setting that no oth
er church in all this country has.
The Church of England has its
Westminister abbey. The Protestant
Episcopal church of America has its
Trinity church of New York. The
Methodists of America have their St.
Johns church. The Methodist of Ore
gon have the First Metodist Episco
pal church edifice of Oregon City.
It is fitting that this church, having
been newly carpeted, calsomined, and
otherwise beautified, and made one
of the most attractive auditoriums in
th city, should have a re-opening, and
this will be today.

SALEM, Or., April 13 Announcing
that he is heartily in favor of placing
the control of the state penitentiary
in the hands of the state board, where
the control of all of the other state
institutions now reposes and that he
is engaged in preparing a bill to be
introduced in the next legislature
wnicn win bring the change into ef-1
feet. Governor yfeat today
answered those who have been !
attacking his - prison policy '
on the ground that he is trying to
bolster up his administration by use ,
of the state prison. . . '
The governor said the bill would pro
vide for general revision of laws gov
erning state Institutions and would
cut the institutions loose from much
of the red tape that now hinders the
sate board from bringing them up
to the highest efficiency. "
The bill Governor West is preparing
it enacted into law, will provide for
cooperation between the various insti
tutions that is impossibe under the
present laws. It will permit the ex-'
change of commodities among insti
tutions and thus give opportunity for
great savings to the state. Now, if
one institution has a surplus of pro
ducts of any kind, any revenue receiv
ed by disposing of it must be turned
into the state's general fund.
"I belive that he management of
the state prison should be in the same
hands aa the management of the in
sane asylum and other state institu
tions," said Governor West. "If the
management of other institutions is in
a board, that is where the manage
ment of the state prison should be.
But inasmuch as the people have plac
ed control of that institution in the
hands of the governor, I purpose to
conduct its affairs in accordance with
my own ideas."

ported to be signed by William C.
Rockefeller, payabel to William H. Bo
gert The District -Attorney said Mr.
Rockefeller failed to recognize the

ing of the " Amalgamated": how he
made the original suggestion to Henry
H. Rogers, William G. Rockefeller and
others; how stock in several compan
ies was purchased for the combina

ized for $75,000,000.
