The United Evan BaUtmfl Conference at Corvallls changed all the ministers in Portland except Rev. A. A. Winter, at the First Church. East Tenth and Sherman streets, who return-- for another year. Mr. Winter will remain In Dallas until after the official Installation of Dr. C. A. Mock as presi dnt of the Dallas College, which takes place tomorrow. Rev. B. S. Hughes, who takes charge of the Second United Evan gelical Church in Albtna Is a new man in Western Oreeron, he having arrived from Eastern Oregon recently. Mr. Hughes and his wife arrived yesterday and have gone to their charge. Rev. E. K. McVicker. who was moved from St. Johns to Lafayette, had been on that charge three years, during which time the church was rebuilt and generally en larged. Rev. J. Bowersox Is sent to Ock ley Green with the expectation that a new and larger church will be built up there. There Is a parsonage and small chapel on this charge. Rev. H. L. Pratt, who has been presiding elder for Port land District and who was changed to the Dallas District, will reside In Fort land and cover his territory from this city.

A committee of three brickmasons called on Mayor Lane at the City Hall yester day and vigorously protested against the Shepherd ordinance, regulating the height ot brick buildings. -This ordinance, which was passed by the City Council last week, provides that brick buildings shall not be erected of a greater height than four slories. The height of reinforced con crete buildings Is limited to 102 feet and they must not be of more than 12 stories. The bricklayers contend that the enforce ment of this ordlnanco will greatly cur tall their emplo-aynent and charge that it is unfair that Us provisions should be made to apply to one class of building material. The architects of the city, as well as the Rulldlng Commissioner, have refused to Indorse the ordinance, which is still in the handB of Mayor Iane. The probabilities are that the measure will be vetoed. Glass Plant in Prospect. Soma months ago a proposal came to the Board of Tride from an Eastern glass manu facturer to move his plant to Portland If a supply of the proper grade of sand from which glass is made could be found nearby. The committee on manufactures took up the matter and procured samples from various places and had them ana lyzed and tested. Plenty of snnd was found of the sort used In the manufacture of bottles and Jars, but all the samples so far received contain an excess of Iron op other deleterious mineral, making the deposit unavailable for the purpose de sired. The committee has not given tip the hope of yet finding a bed of the proper kind of sand, for there are many localities from which no samples have been sent in. Firs Company Organized. A volun teer fire company has been organized in North Albina with tiO members. Follow Jng are the ofllcers: President. H. G. Parson: vice-president. Dr. A. B. Stone; secretary. Dr. E. A.

After she had fallen a distance of 30 feet, with her child in her arms, despite the dark ness, she retained her hold on the in fant and managed to keep herself and the child afloat until Slater, who had plunged Into the river at the first alarm, came to the rescue. Johnson was benumbed by the cold and the shock and had all he could do to keep himself afloat till help came.
