Changes in PVL.PITS. 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. He returned from conference yes
terday. Rrickmasons Protest to Mayor. 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;

worth avenue with the expectation that

this district within the next few years.
'The company will be supplied with ap
paratus by the city.
Good Paooniss on Excavation. Work
is progressing satisfactorily on the site
of the new building for the Board of
Trade, corner of Oak and Fourth streets
The lot fronting on Oak street has been
excavated and Is now ready for erecting
piers and foundation walls. The adjoin

merce building, is clear of buildings and
but little debris has yet to be removed.
In a day or two excavating will begin
on that portion of the property and is to
be rushed through by means of steam
shovels, as was the case with the Oak
street corner.

FROM DROWNING.
Longshoreman Drags Mother and
Child and Former's Escort
Out of River.
Through the heroism of R. P. Slater,
a longshoreman, Mrs. L. Gerdes, R. J.
Johnson and the child in the arms of
Mrs. Gerdes were saved from death in
the Willamette River at 8 o'clock last
night. Mrs. Gerdes and Johnson
stepped off the wharf at the foot of
Seventeenth street by accident, while
on their way to the docks, to see
friends off for San Francisco on the
steamer Roanoke.
Mrs. Gerdes, whose home is at 545 1-2
Washington street, exhibited remark
able nerve and fortitude. 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.
Slater first took the baby from Its
mother's arms, carried It up a long
ladder to the deck of the wharf, then
returned and pulled out the woman.
Lastly he plunged Into the river for a
thlrd tlme and brought Johnson, to the
ladder.
Policeman Peterson was summoned
and assisted In making the woman
and her baby comfortable until a car
riage could be secured to take them
home.
Mrs. Gerdes suffered greatly from
the shock of the fall and the ex
posure, and was later attended by a
physician. She was painfully bruised
by striking a floating log In her fall.
Tt- babe also, suffered severely from
shock and exposure.
Mrs. Gerdes says the accident was
the result of the fact that -there are
no lights on thf wharf. She walked
