Pioneer ministers of the Methodist Epis copal Church who have completed their labors, .who have finished their earthly course, and who have passed to the "other shore," are not to lie in unmarked graves, but. through the thoughtfulness and care of the Oregon conference, monu ments, are to rise above their mounds, and It may be that, in the diamond-shaped lot in Lee Mission Cemetery at Salem, a large shaft will soon be raised in memory of the faithful veterans who have passed from time to eternity. At the morning session of the Oregon conference at Sunnysids yesterday, a res olution from the Columbia River confer ence was read, requesting action on the erection of a monument over- the grave of Dr. H. K. Hines, a pioneer missionary, which brought about the liberal sentiment for recognition of many veterans of the church, and the appointment of a com mittee of three to take up the matter. Bishop Henry W. Warren named Dr D. A. Watters, Rev. W. T. Kerr and Rev. J. T. Abbott to investigate and report. Ordinations Occur in Tent. Passing from the business session of the day. the conference adjourned to the large tent that is used for occasions when the church proper Is overcrowded, where, for the first time in the history of Amer ican Methodism, a class was ordained and received into full connection under canvas by Bishop Henry W. Warren. An other feature of this occasion, never be fore occurring, was the delivery of the bishop's address at the time of ordina tion, it having been the Invariable cus tom, to reserve the address for Sunday morning at conference throughout the world. The impressive ordination service of the Methodist Episcopal Church was enacted by Bishop Warren, when Joseph H. Pat ton. John W. Exon and Richard Wilkins were ordained deacons and Melville T. Wire. William B. Pepper and A. D. Wag. ner were ordained elders. Bishop Warren delivered a brief ad dress, exhorting the classes to keep their vows, to be faithful to the obligations of the church and to walk in the fear of God. His advice to them was to concen trate their efforts on individuals and avoid the difficulties of trying to enthrall the masses, as he said that In personal effort greater good usually results. "A man may speak from the pulpit words of great power and force against the saloon, but It is altogether a different BISHOP WARREN TO YOC3JG MINISTERS. In addressing the class of young men received into full connection with the Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday. Bishop Warren eald. among other . things: "God is with men now as miahtlly as with Moses stretching forth the rod over the Bed Sea," "Preach so that people will come to hear you gladly, but apply yourself to Individuals." "It has been said that the best ser mons preached In New York were preached to congregations of 60." "Chrlfct gave the doctrine of the new birth to an audience of one." "Do not educate the people to tardi ness they do not need it; watches are cheap and good. I hope you will be able to say after long service, 'I have never met an appointment a minute late.' " "If i you ever get dwindled down ao you can preach but one of our doc trines, get enlarged, so you can preach the rest; you are pledged to preach each one." thing to go to a saloonkeeper and address him personally," said he: Many Attend Unique Service. The ordination service was attended by a throng that filled the big tent, and was one of the greatest events of the annual conference. To the young ministers who were ordained, it was the proudest mo ment of their lives and an honor never to be forgotten. Through years of strug gle they had finished the required course of study, their characters had been passed by ' the conference board of examiners, and they stood before the world as men proclaimed fit In every way to become ministers of the gospel. , 6rdination of the deacons and elders was followed by luncheon at the confer ence dining-room, where Sunnyslde Meth odist Episcopal Church women are fur nishing meals to the members of the con. ference and their wives throughout the sessions, this being one of the most diffi cult tasks of the conference. Yesterday more than 300 were fed at the noon meal. At 2:30 P. M. the anniversary of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society was observed, Mrs. J. T. Abbott presiding. Throngs of women attended, and the oc casion was a notable one. Last night the educational xajly oc- ML MARKED cured. this being the big event for Wil lamette University. President John H. Coleman and Dean Kimball, of the Kim ball School of Theology, delivered ad dresses. Xo Disagreement Over University. At the opening of the business session yesterday morning, several members of the conference expressed their disapproval of the statements contained in The Ore gonlan's account of Thursday's session relative to an alleged division of the con ference members on Willamette Univer sity and President Coleman's administra tion and the territory in the Oregon con ference lying east of the Cascades. As to the university matter and President Cole man's administration of its affairs, the speakers wished it published that there Is no division, and as to the account of the territory east of the Cascades, they wished it understood that nd friction abounds on the subject. METHODIST LAYMEN' MEET. Money Pledged for Willamette Uni versity and Preachers- Salaries. ' The Methodist Laymen's Association of the Oregon Conference met in annual ses sion at the Sunnyslde Congregational Church at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the most important feature of the meeting was the pledging of $3000 to . be used for Willamette University, aged and Infirm superannuates of the denomination and their wives, and for slight increases in the salaries of poorly-paid preachers where possible In the conference. Senator R. A. Booth, of Eugene, presi dent of the association, was unable to be present because of urgent business, but he sent in a communication offering to give $1000 if the organization would raise $1500. The proposition was accepted and a com mittee named to take charge of the affair. Another similar offer was made by Mr. Rankin, of Portland, a member of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, and was ac cepted. Taylor-Street Church promising to assist in raising a portion of the required sum. Cheers greeted the propositions and ac ceptances, and the first day's session of the association was a big success. B. Lee Paget presided. A large number were present. CHURCH RUNS OPEN SHOP METHODISTS EMPLOY UXION AXD NONUNION PRINTERS. Bishop AVarren Says Publishing Houses Are Not Antagonistic to Labor Organizations. The Methodist Episcopal Church is not In any manner antagonistic to labor unions or to organized labor, and does not discriminate between union and nonunion men in its great publishing houses, ac cording to Bishop Henry W. Warren, pre siding at the Oregon conference at Sun nyslde. He declared this in an interview given The Oregonian yesterday morning, when shown a dispatch from Colorado Springs, Colo., detailing the action of the Colorado Federation of Labor, which, in a resolution, boycotted the Methodist Church, declared it to be unfair to or Rev. Charles Scadding Will Be TODAY the Episcopal and Roman Catholic Churches throughout the world will celebrate the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels. This is not one of the great days of the churches' calen dar, but it will be a great day at La Grange, 111. There In Emmell Episcopal Church will be held an imposing service, the grand est probably to be held anywhere upon that day. It will be a function of es pecial interest to Oregon Episcopalians and to the people of the state generally; for this service will be the consecration of the Rev. Charles Scadding. rector of . the above-named parish, as bishop of the Diocese of Oregon. It will be a service in which Oregon will have a share, as the Rev. Philip Kemp Hammond, rector of St Paul's Church, Oregon City, has been aovjointed as one of the two attending presbyters, and the Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. D., rector of St. David's Church, of this city, will read the testi monials. The Most Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, D. D., LL. D.. bishop of .Missouri, and presiding bishop, will act as curator, and the two co-consecrators as required by the canon will be the Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter. D. D.. LL. D., D. C. L., bishop of New York,- and the Rt. Rev. William Andrew Leonard. D. D., bishop of Ohio. The high altar will be massed with flowers and ablaze with candles. Singing some' such inspiring hymn as "The Son of God Goes Forth to War." the large vested choir, headed by a crucifer bear ing aloft a cross of shining brass will march into the church, followed by a long line comprising the wardens and vestrymen of the parish, the clergy of the diocese of Chicago and visiting clergy in their surplices, the bishop-elect and the bishops in their robes of office. The hymn concluded. Bishop Tuttle will say the eommunia collect and the decalogue, the response. ' "Lord, have mercy upon us and incline our hearts to keep this law," being sung after each commandment. Bishop Leonard will read the epistle and Bishop Potter the gospel. At this point will come the consecration sermon, which wil) be preached by the Rt. Rev. C. P. Anderson, D. D., bishop of Chicago. , The sermon ended, the presiding bishop will seat himself in-a chair before the altar and the bishop-elect rising from his seat at the foot of the chancel steps and vested with his rochet, will be escort eel to the presiding bishop by the two presenting bishops. These will be the Rt. Rev. George F Seymour, D. D. LU D., bishop of Springfield, and the Rt. Rev. Cortland Whitehead, D. D., bishop of Pittsburg. . They will say. to the pre siding bishop: Reverend Father In God, we .present unto - V ganized labor and denounced as labor's enemy Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel. of the Denver University, pledging its mem bership to vote against him for Governor on the Republican ticket. Bishop Warren's episcopal residence is at Denver, and he Is in close touch with politics there. While he did not state It in the interview yesterday, he declared it from the platform of Sunnyside Metho dist Episcopal Church at the Wednesday morning session of the Oregon conference that he believed Chancellor Buchtel would win in the great fight for the dfflce of Governor. "There Is just this to say of the organ ized labor matter," stated Bishop War ren, after reflection. "The Methodist Episcopal Church is not antagonistic in any sense to Organized labor or to the anions, neither is it true that Chancellor Buchtel is their enemy. He has never said or done anything against labor unions. He is a good man. "Now, as to the portion of the resolu tion against the church because of the action of the publishing houses. Our pub lishers were told they must employ none but union men. but replied they would draw no line that union or noffbnion men could find employment on an equal basis in all of the plants controlled by the church. We refused to grant the closed shop because of principle." PERSONAL MENTION. Attorney-General Crawford is at the Im perial Hotel. Dr. W. Kuykendall.' of Eugene, 1s reg istered at the Imperial Hotel.

' TWENTYTHDUSAND MARK SET FOR DAY Workers for Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Building Fund Ex pect to Break Record. YESTERDAY'S TOTAL LOW It Is Hoped to Close the Week With Total of Two Hundred Thou sand Dollars in Sight for Cause. r YESTERDAY'S RECEIPTS. Progress yesterday of the T. M. C. A.-T. W. C.

Dr. Du Moulin, of Chicago, and the Rev. P. K. Hammond, of Oregon City,, to assume the full robes of office. Upon his return he will kneel berore the presiding bishop, and the ancient hymn, "Veni Creator Spiritus," will be sung. After a prayer will come the most solemn part of the service, the actual consecration. The bishops will gather about the kneeling form of the bishop elect and reverently laying their hands upon his head, the presiding bishop will cay: - before. To achieve the undertaking they have a big day ahead. Last evening the fund stood at $179,836.23. Thus, it will be necessary to secure additional donations amounting to $20,163.75 in order to reach the $200,000 goal. As was expected, the hands on the big signal clock passed the half-way mark before noon ' yesterday. The afternoon proved quiet, however, and the day closed as one of the smallest on record, having fallen under a $10,000 total. The workers were In no way discouraged, though, for the progress of the campaign thus far has taught them to expect fluctuations. They have found that their big clock is not an ideal time-piece for one day it will tick off $20,000 worth of minutes and the next will seemingly be afflicted with a broken main-spring. But with the new Portland spirit as the motive power every confidence is expressed that the big hands will make their way clear on around the dial and across the "midnight" or $350,000 point in good time. The final week will open Monday morn ing, as there will be no soliciting on Sun day. Great things are expected of this last week, which will be' the real deciding factor in the struggle. Portland is al ready ahead of some cities and every where there has been a lag until the home stretch was reached-. For instance Kansas City, in raising $255,000 for a Y. M. C. A. building, had only half of the amount raised when the final week of a 30-day campaign opened. For a few days the workers despaired of success but the public rallied to the support and the closing hour found every dollar needed in the possession of the workers. "We are very anxious to close this Saturday with $300,000 of the amount raised," said General Secretary Stone, last evening. "The public is urged to help In this endeavor for we feel that by reaching the $200,000 mark by evening we may look to the future with confidence of complete success. People who have been thinking about making . subscriptions should leave off thinking and act today. It is time for response not for continuous consideration, which only delays us." 1ST OBSERVE FIRE LAW BUILDINGS REQUIRED TO COX FORM TO CITY ORDINANCE. Committee Named to Inspect Halls and Theaters Soon to Report to Executive Board. If there are any theaters, halls, ihurches. schools or other public build ings in Portland which do not conform to the provisions of the fire ordinances, the owners will probably be compelled to make the necessary changes to cor respond with those stipulations. At the meeting of the Executive Board yester-. day afternoon, the committee, which was appointed some time ago for the purpose of Inspecting the public build ings with this in view, was asked to report its findings at the next session. Soon after the Marquam Theater was closed, many months ago. because' of defective wiring, a committee, consist ing of Chief Campbell, Fire Marshal Roberts and the Building Inspector, was appointed to investigate all build ings of a public character in the city Otis yt&eSArfAf 8s09s &r2V.

C. Jordan of this city. who. in partnership with J. W. Hurley also of Portland, owns the patent. A full size working model of the Jordan fender has been constructed and preliminary tests indicate that it will fulfill all requirements in the forthcoming trial. The novel point on which the inventor rests his main claim is the fact that any heavy object struck by the fender is not only picked up automatical ly, but infallibly carried back into the net which forms the apron of the fender. When in use the fender rides at a distance 'of four inches from the track. It is so arranged that on coming into contact with any heavy object the fender is depressed almost to the rails and the object thrown back onto the three rubber covered rollers whicn form the front of the apron. By. suitable ratchets the two forward rollers are so arranged that they can revolve In but one direction, and that upward, in consequence of which the object struck is with utmost ertainty carried back into the heavy wire net of the apron, which is suspended on spiral springs on all sides in such a manner as to minimize the shock to the victim in case of collision with a human' being. The rollers 24 inches in diameter, are composed of a core of steel tubing covered with a cloth and rubber jacket similar to a. section of fire hose. Wire net guards prevent an object not caught by the fender from being caught by the wheels. : and report to the Board any defects in wiring or other fire precautions. At the meeting of the Board yesterday, Thomas G. Greene called attention to the fact that the commitee has never submitted a report. The members ex pressed a desire to learn what progress has been made by the committee, and Mayor Lane requested that they be no tified to report at the next meeting. If any public building is found to be at variance with the ordinance, in respect to furnishing proper protection Oregon Today unto all men; for ty o doing: thou chalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. 3?e to the flock of Christ a shepherd , not a wolf; feed them, devour them not.

Thus it is that Oregon's new bishop wfll be consecrated and given his place in the long line of bishops of the apostolic succession. f from Are to their tenants, it is thought that changes will be insisted on by the Board. The members have always shown themselves 'as In favor of en forcing strictly the provisions of the fire ordinance, as was shown In the closing of the Marquam. Any other buildings which are m defective will probably meet the same fate, unless their owners will comply with the ordi nance. The fire committee, which had been appointed to investigate an application to locate an oil warehouse on Gideon street, reported unfavorably on the re quest, which was disallowed. The pro posed site is in a district occupied by small homes, and many of the residents were on hand to protest against the location of a warehouse which would menace their property. Councilman Rushlight, in whose ward the oil com pany wished to locate, was also present to object to the application. EXCURSI0NST0 SEASIDE $1.50 Round Trip $1.50.

Starves Many People A piece of bread that is dry. white and very light in weight seems to the thought ful person like so much foam or other useless and non-nourishing product. If one rolls a piece of moist, light breacl or the interior of a biscuit between the fingers, a. ball of dough is the result, with an appearance of solidity that makes one question how the gastric juices of the stomach can dissolve such a wad. It Is small wonder that such food creates havoc In the way of fermenta tion, gas, and consequent disorder. Many persons will find great help by leaving off the ordinary bread entirely, and using in its place Grape-Nuts, in which the starchy and nitrogenous sub stances have been thoroughly and per fectly cooked at the factory before being; sent out. There is no possibility of this food as suming the form of wads of dough. On, the contrary. ' it is already predigested. the starch of the grains has been changed, into sugar in the process of manufacture) and passes quickly and directly into cir culation. Grape-Nuts furnish the elements need ed by the system to rebuild, particularly the soft gray matter in the brain and throughout the nerve centres in the body. This statement will be verified by Us use. It is delicious enough to recommend it self upon trial. Made in the pure food factories of Postum Co. at Battle Creek. ilich.
