During the year Presiding EI 4r Leaden. o the Chchalis district, who ww connected with the Vancouver Hid-4nSUiott-Rador-Young scandal, placed Sark In charge of Kelso, Wash., church. Dr. Wire, hearing of this, summoned Rev. Mr. Stark before a trial board, which board his ease and suspended him, pend ing the action of this conference. When the cae was called. Dr. F.

A big diecuseion, that roaenca red-hot proportions at times, occurred at the lay men's meeting when the question of how to pot the Pacific ChrlstlanAdocate on a paying basis came up. It was during this that Mr. Flegel lasheo the preacners, declaring the lay members must have charge of the paper, as the proachors wttl not act. Dr. Osmon Royal, who In troduced a resolution to have pastors ap point solicitors for the paper, replied vig rouoly. rofutlng Flogel's remarks. Bishop J. M. Walden, who chanced to be pres ent, spoke briefly for harmony. The occa sion of this discussion was the fact that the general conference at its last session decided to furnish no more funds for the pnhttcation of the Advocate, and it must pay its own way at the end of this quad rennlnra or suspend. It Is said that loyal support is being given it, and that it will survive. A resolution by Dr. Royal that all of 9etal members of each congregation be compolled to subscribe for the Advocate was lost, but the laymen did resolve to ask the conference to pass resolutions to morrow, calling upon the presiding elders at the quarterly conferences to ask, "Is each official member -a subscriber to the Advocate ?' The paper is 51 yoars old. There are 11.000 Methodists in the Advo cate's field, and It Is said the paper's cir culation new i6 nearly 5000 copies weekly, and steadily growing. A Clerical Anomaly. A. peculiar state of affairs became pub lic today to the case of Rev. J. P. Farmer, once a Methodist, later a Baptist, but who was sent to take charge of Monta na Methodist Church during this year "by Presiding Elder Rockwell. It now de velops that he has no standing -as yet, not even being a Methodist by member shin, and his relations will be determined tomorrow morning. Tonight it is rumored that Rev. .Sum taorville. in charge this year at Grant's Pass, will be sent to the Central GhurcR. Portland, and that Rev. Young, of Cen tral, will be sent to Grant's Pass. Thoro is a delegation here, asking for Young's return, howover. Summorvllle is the man whom Albany Methodists refused to ac cept last year. Conference Hero Next Year. This morning Dr. T. B. Ford, of the Euanyside Church, and president of the Portland Methodist Ministers' Association, extended an Invitation to the conference te meet in his church, and Dr. Short, of Taylor-Btreet Church, moved to accept this invitation.

In order to give the former moretlme to arrange with the presiding eldersfor the pastoral appointments, to bo announced Sunday evening.

This afternoon the anniversary of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society was observed and tonight Bishop Walden de livered an address. B.

' comes 'from- MerrlU 1 22 miles south of here, that the citi zens of the town and farmers of the country are considerably elated over the report that the call by the Gov ernment for bids for the first ten miles of the main canal of the lower project will be followed by a call for bids for the extension of the canal south of Merrill. Instructions have been received' by the Government officials here to push the work of securing- the rights of way for the first ten miles of the main canal, and then to proceed to Merrill and secure the rights of way for the extension at once. This order comes somewhat as a surprise, since it was thought that the work on the first ten miles of the main canals would be the extent of the Govern ment irrigation work here until this section was fully under way. So far not a single landholder has refused to gTant Tight of way through His property. Everyone approached has freely given the way without hes itancy. The canal passes through C N. -. Meyer's place, requiring the re moval of his residence, and the only damages he asks is the actual cost of moving the house. Alleged Forger Discharged. SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Sept. 22.

At the recent meeting of the City Coun cil, the franchise to the Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Company In this city was de feated by a vote of 3 to 2.

The company agreed to a reduction of 25 cents a month on residence and business serv ice, also to Install an all-night service as soon as business would justify it. Just whother the company will make -further reductions or not is unknown. There is a local company which wishes to furnish the city with phone service.

Recently the city built JKX) feet of stone roadway on Prindlo street. Chehalis is replacing plank with stone as the former wears out, and while the change is a little more expensive the gain is greater in the long run.

Vehicle Overturns and Collector Stratton, of San Francisco, Is" Injured Driver Will Die. SALEM, Or., Sept. 22. (Special.) Charles L. Moore, son of State Treasurer C. S. Moore, who returned today from Klamath County, was a passenger on the Klamath Falls stage which was wrecked near Kono, on Wednesday. The accident was due to the breaking of the shaft of the brake while the stage was descend ing a hill. All the eight persons in the stage suffered injuries, but the driver, Joe Reynolds, and Miss Bussey, of Langell, were the only ones seriously hurt. Rey nolds will probably die. Moore tells a graphic story of the acci dent. The stage, a heavy vehicle of the Concord type, drawn by four horsest ,had reached a point 18 miles "from Klamath Falls, near a bridge across Klamath River. The stage had started down a long, -steep hill. On the seat with the driver was Miss Bussey. while Colonel Stratton, Collector of Customs at San Francisco, also occupied a seat outside. Inside the stage were Charles L. Moore, George Wright, Mr. Webb, Mr. Schu mann and a drummer whose name Mr. Moore did not learn. As the stage started down the hill the driver threw on the brake, but the shaft snapped and the vehicle struck the heels of the horses. The four horses at once broke Into a run. At a turn in the road the stage whirled over on Its side, throw ing the driver and outside passengers to the ground and tumbling the inside passengers- In a heap. The overturning of the stage loosened the automatic coup ling, thus releasing the horses and pre venting "a greater disaster. A near-by rancher was sent to the next stage station, two miles away; another vehicle was procured, and the Injured passengers were taken to the station, where a physician had been summoned. Reynolds was found to have a fractured skull and several broken ribs. Miss Bus Bey suffered the fracture of several ribs and a number of bad bruises. Colonel Stratton was also baldly Injured, but the others sustained only slight bruises. ESCAPERN0NG WINE The finest product of the scappernong, the native North Carolina grape.

STATE CHARGES FORGERY Outcome Will Affect Procedure on Other Indictments and In the - De Lalttre Contest Before State Land Board. SALEM. Or-. Sept. 21 (Special.) The Turner-Kelllher land fraud cases are the moat Important matters demanding the attention of the Marlon County Circuit Court at the adjourned term, which will be held October 2. The cases stand bn demurrers to the Indictments, and argu ments on these demurrers will be heard by Judge Burnett at the adjourned term. Should the demurrers be sustained, that ruling will end the prosecution, for the crimes will be outlawed and new Indict ments cannot be returned. Should the de murrers be overruled, the defendants will have to plead and go to trial at the reg ular October term, which will begin Oc tober 9. Just what specific objection the defense has to the indictments docs not appear, and the attorneys are silent on the sub ject. The formal objection Is that the acts charged do not constitute a crime, but wherein the defect lies, the demurrer docs not point out. Forgery Is Alleged. One of the lndlctmonts charges that H. H. Turner and A. T. Kolllher uttered a forged Instrument of writing, a contract or application for the purchase of state larid, with Intent to defraud. The other charges that the same persons forged a contract or application by signing a fic titious name thereto. Copies of the ap plications alleged to be forged are set out in the Indictment, showing that the appli cations are in the usual form. They pur port to have been signed by men who swore to the same before H. H. Turner, notary public Those cases are important not only be cause of the nature of the crime charged and the prominence, but also because the decision in them will probably determine future procedure in other cases started .at the last term of court. The grand Jury returned a number of indictments, but the warrants of arrest were served only In the Turner-Kelllher cases. The names of the other defendants arc not known, but it Is asserted that they are residents of othor states, for which reason they have not been arrested. The cases are also important because of the bearing they may have upon the" De Laittre land contest before the State Land Board. The De Laittre Certificates. v De Laittre, who is a prominent lumber man and banker in Minneapolis, bought a number of certificates of sale of state land bearing the seal and signature of H. H. Turner as notary. The State Land Board cited De Laittre to appear and show cause why his certificates should not be cancelled, the grand jury having reported that the applications upon which the certificates were issued were probably fraudulent. Testimony tending to support the grand jury's report was taken and the argument on the contest was post poned until the October meeting of the board, which will be after the decision upon the demurrers. While the outcome of the criminal cases will not necessarily govern the Land Board In the contest, the decision of the court may have some influence one way or the other. Supreme Court Convenes. SALEM. Or., Sept. 22. (Special.) The Supreme Court 'will convene for the rog ular October term on October 2. at which time the hearing of cases will be resumed. The regular annua examination of can didates for admission to the bar will be held on Tuesday. October 2. FOR DEFENSE OF THE SOUND Government Board Locating 3Unc and Torpedo Stations. SEATTLE.

ALKALI MRS ONE LAKE WATERS OF LOWER KLAMATH UNFIT FOR IRRIGATION. Government Experts to Meet Diffi culty by Extending Main Canal From Upper Klamath. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept 22.-(Spe-cial.) After careful analysis and experi ments with the wator supplies for the Klamath Irrigation project the Govern ment officals have Just made public the report of their findings. This report as given out by the Reclamation Service here, says: Tbe reiultn of the analysis of the waters of Upper and Lower Klamath takes. Tub take. Clear Lake and Lost River are exceedingly in teresting. This analysis confirms the tact that before proceeding far with an Irrigation project not only the soil ohouM be tpdied thoroughly, but an exhaustive analysis of 'toe water eheuM be made to determine what effect It will have when applied to the lands. The recent Investigations aboir that the wa ters of the Upper Klamath Lake possess the chemical properties which tend to improve land when used for irrigation purpoieo. This lit not so, however, with the waters of the Lower Klamath Lake. It was found that after leaving Ktno. going roulh, the water of Lower Klamath Lake become alkaline, and by the time White Lake waa reached tbe water showed an analysis which, because of Its alka line properties, rendered it unfit for irrigation purposes. The analysis of the waters of Clear Lake and Lost River show that they contain little or practically no alkali, and will, therefore, be cause of this and other properties not of la tere at thin time, benefit the lands to which they are applied. For this reason it is given out that the Reclamation Service will make every ef fort to extend the main canal from the Upper Klamath Lake to the head of the Adams Canal, near Merrill, at the ear liest possible date after construction is begun, and thus supply the lands in the valley around Merrill with water, cutting off Its supply from Lower KJamath Lake and thus endeavoring by proper draining to restore many tracts of land in that region which are now so badly filled with alkali that the alfalfa and grain arc being destroyed and the lands rendered useless.

THE J. M. Mil! GUT OUT G1TY PLANTS EUGENE COUNCIL IS ASKED TO DELAY BOND ISSUE. Plan .to Get Better Uatr? and Serv ice From Old Water and Light Companies. EUGENE. Or.. Sept 22. At a special meeting of the City Council tonight ordi nances were passed levying assessments for the costs of several new powers, con structed during the past summer. A pe tition was presented to the Ctfancil. signed by about 2E0 tax payers, asking the Coun cil to defer action on the matter of is suing bonds in the sum of S200.GGO recently authorized by vote of the people for the purpopc of providing municipal water and light systems. This petition emanates from the Com mercial Club. The reason for asking the Council to defer action Is a belief that concessions in rates and Improvement In service can be had from the prospective purchasers of the present systems, where by the city can obtain what the people (demand. (By securing such agreement both the old companies" would probably be transferred to the capitalists who have them bonded and the city would have sat isfactory service without assuming a large municipal debt and the responsi bility of providing these utilities. The matter was left with the Council and in order to get at some understanding another meeting was called for next Tuesday evening, at which time repre sentatives of the companies will be given an opportunity to state their side of the controversy and make any propositions they may desire.
