GRACE CONGREGATION HOST Delegates to National Gathering Will Be Selected and Oregon Pastors Assigned to Stations for the Coming Year. Business of much importance will come up at the annual session of the Oregon conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which will convene in Grace Church, September 24. David Hastings Moore, resident bishop, will preside. The members, comprising all the ministers in the East and West Portland, Salem and Klamath mission districts, will be the guests of Portland Methodists, principal ly those of Grace and Taylor-street charges. Iast year's session was held at Sunny Fide, all the members of the conference being the guests of that church, of which Dr. T. B. Ford is pastor. A large tent was used for the greatest gatherings of the sessions, and for smaller meetings the auditorium of the church was used. The book concern exhibited its wares in the Epworth League room. There are a number of very important natters coming up before this session, one of which is the election of delegates to the general conference of the church, which meets next May in Baltimore. Every branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the world is repre sented at the quadriennial gathering, which is one of the most notable ecclesias tical bodies on the globe. The laws of the organization, technically known as the discipline, are made or amended, as the needs arise, and every feature of the activities of the denomination are dis cussed. Bach conference throughout Methodism is entitled to one delegate to each 45 ministers, an equal number of ministerial and lay representatives being chosen. Heretofore, the Oregon conference has had two ministers and two laymen, but It is now believed that it is entitled to one more of each, bringing the number up to six. This will greatly strengthen the delegation. There are many prominent ministers who may be selected, but laymen are not so easily found. The requirements are many, and it is difficult to secure those who are fully qualified to act and who havo time to spare away from their business. That those who go will be chosen from among the following list, seems pretty certain: B. Lee Paget, of Taylor-Street Church; A. F. Flegel. of Trinity Church; R. A. Booth, of Eugene; W. C. Hawley. of Salem; F. D. Sackett. of Sheridan; M. C. Rankin, of Grace Church. The business of most general interest to the public is the assignment of pastors to the various charges in the four districts that comprise the Oregon Conference. The presiding bishop has the appointing power, and announces the lists about the last thing each annual session. With his cabinet, the presiding elders of the dis tricts, he canvasses the entire situation throughout each charge and endeavors to send to each place the man most fit ted for the position. There is always much speculation as to whether or not there will be many changes, but as the presiding bishop himself does not know until almost the last minute. It Is im possible to foretell what will occur. The bishop is empowered to move every mem ber of the conference, should he see fit, but this is never done, and changes are made simply to adjust matters for the best interests of all. It can be safely stated that few changes, if any, will occur in Portland pulpits thte year. As a usual thing, there are some removals, as many things enter into the shifting of pastors. Some wish to transfer to other conferences; some are old and feeble and wish to as sume what is known as the supernumera ry relation, when they are not assigned to any charge; occasionally though rarely some wish to quit the mniissirv. This will be the first session of the conference in which the traveling ex penses of the ministers will be equalized by a system that was adopted last year. By tnls means a pastor wao has a charge over the mountains In the Kla math district, for example, and whose expenses have been tremendous because of the long distance and inaccessibility of their territory, will be no more than that of Dr. Clarence True Wilson, whose church is to be the host. A general fund is made up and the traveling expenses apportioned alike to all members. Bishop Moore, who will preside, is one of the most noted men of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a Civil War veteran, and during his episcopacy has traveled extensively. His official resi dence Is in Portland, but his work calls him to the most distant parts of the United States throughout the year. BUY WOOD FROM PENCE Federated Trades Contract for 10, 00 0 Cords of Fir. The Portland Federated Trades have en tered into a contract with Lafe Pence whereby he is to furnish it with 10,000 cords of fir wood in cord lengths. This Is to be sold for 15 a cord at the docks and at 6 a cord delivered. It will not be sawed, however, at this price. An offer of 2000 cords of 4-foot fir wood from another source has also been made to the Federated Trades, but that body has not yet closed the deal. It Is said that this, too can be sold for J5 and $6 a cord. P. McDonald, editor of the Labor Press, believes that fir wood can easily be sold for J8 a cord within three months. Box wood to householders living near the mill is now being sold for J1.75 a load, but is said to be fit only for kindling. Brooklyn Excursion Here Today.

Metzger's spectacles, Jl, 342 Wash, at COMPLAINT AGAINST TRUSTEES OF NOON BAG COMPANY. Heirs to Noon Estate Say $26,427 Is Due Them In Dividends, Ac cording to Terms of Will. Emily J. Noon.' Viola E. Noon, Lulu A. Werner, Ralph A. Noon and Alma E. Noon, heirs to the . estate of the late W. C. Noon, have brought suit in the Circuit Court against T. J. Armstrong, W. C. Noon. Jr., H. M. Cake and the W. C. Noon Bag Company, al leging that, a3 one of the executors of the estate, W. C. Noon, Jr., has failed to pay over to the plaintiffs 26,427, as required by the will. This money is a dividend on 1149 shares of stock in the W. C. Noon Bag Company. It was the desire of the trustees of the company to apply the 28,427 on debts of the estate, but In a former trial the Supreme Court decided that as the will directed that the money be paid to the heirs, this must be done. It is now alleged that instead of pay ing over the money, the trustees have applied it In the Interest of the bag company of which they are directors. H. M- Cake tendered his resignation as trustee in June, 1906, and on Au gust 1, W. C. Noon, Jr., also filed his resignation with the Circuit Court, and a decree ordering that It be accepted was given by the court. Then It is al leged, that Noon, Jr., and Armstrong; voted to increase their salaries from $175 and $160 a month, respectively, to $25o a month, to commence In August. 190.4, at the time of the death of Noon, Sr. A further Increase of Armstrong's salary, it is alleged, has been made to $350 a nfonth. . The plaintiffs now ask that the decree accepting the resigna tion of Noon, Jr., be set aside, until he shall have paid over the $26,427 to the heirs, that he then be declared free from his duties as trustee, and that the resignation of Cake be accepted Immediately. They also aslc that the defendants be enjoined from making: any further Increases In salary, and that Emily J. Noon and another per son named by the court be appointed to succeed Cake and Noon, Jr., as trustees. WORK ON BURNSIDE BRIDGE Contracts Being Let by County- for Improvements. Contracts are being let by the County Commissioners for the Improvement of the Burnside-street bridge, to cost ap proximately $30,000. The east approach will be almost entirely rebuilt, and the en tire structure will be re-decked. This work has been needed for some time, but the city and county authorities could not agree as to whether it was re construction or repair work. If the for mer the county must bear the expense, and if the latter It would fall to the city. SAYS HUSTON STOLE HIS WIFE W. B. Kauffman Asks $10,000 From Pickle Merchant. W. B. Kauffman, a linotype operator of this city, considers his wife's affections worth $10,000 according to a complaint which he filed in the Circuit Court yester. day against Francis B. Huston, a pickle merchant and wine-grower of promi nence, who lives at the Portland Hotel. Kauffman says that before his wife met Huston she lived with him in happiness and contentment, but that the pickle merchant has succeeded In winning away her affections so that she accompanies him to restaurants and publlo resorts, and also on trips outside the city. Kauffman alleges that his wife met the pickle man last June. Kauffman and his wife were married in. April, 1904. Case for King Solomon. A case which would try even the wis dom of King Solomon has come before the Juvenile Court within the last few days. A little 2-year-old babe known as William Dudley Tomlin and also as Orse Carlton Livingston Rowlee is claimed by Mrs. Bailie Tomlin and Mrs. Norma Row lee, Until the court decides which wom an is the mother of the child It will be retained in the care of Matron Graham of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society. Judge Frazer will hear the case next Friday. Sues Railroad for $400. A. A. Cunningham claims that the in juries he sustained in a wreck on the Klamath Lake Railroad on June 19, are worth $400, and has filed suit in the Cir cuit Court to obtain this amount from the railroad company. He says that the ac cident was caused by the negligence of the engineer, and that his head and arm were pinned down by a broken door. Sues to Recover on Check. In a suit filed yesterday in the Circuit Court It is alleged that A. J. Enderlin, of the International Post "Card Company, did not have funds enough In the defunct Oregon Trust & Savings Company to cover a check for $249.63, which he wrote in favor of F. Von Bardelehen. The plaintiffs are William Knauth. Frederick Nachod, Perclval Kuhne, Max Hessberg and Max Jaffe. EDITORS TO HAVE OUTING Leave on Thursday for Astoria. Clambake at Seaside.

BAKER SEASON SEAT SALE Line of Purchasers 600 Feet Long When Box Office Opens. Any one who is skeptical as to Port land's standing as a theater town should have been at the corner of Third and Yamhill streets yesterday morning and witnessed the patiently waiting and slow ly moving line of humanity that had taken position at the Baker Theater, be ginning with early dawn, for the purpose of making season reservations of seats. As early as 3 A. M. the eager theater goers commenced to assemble In front of the playhouse, and by 6:30 A. M. there were at least 50 persons In line. Some had brought cracker boxes, some had camp stools, and others had improvised settees of all descriptions, and nearly all had brought something in the way of eatables. When Manager George L. Baker arrived on the scene shortly after 8 o'clock the line extended around the corner and well toward Second street, and when the box office opened the end of the line had extended south on Second and was over 600 feet in length. No complaints were heard from the waiting crowd and when the late comers advanced to the front, they were politely requested to go to the end of the line and take their places, and nearly all ac quiesced. It was the greatest and most auspicious opening sale the Baker Thea ter has ever enjoyed. The house has undergone a thorough overhauling this Summer and will open with "The Liars,'! to be followed fcy "The Woman in the Case."

Metzger & Co., headquarters Brauera hand-painted art china, 342 Wash.- st Wander TJnmolested About Hills and Come In Contact With Refuse Thrown Out From Hospital. Cows belonging to dairies at the foot of the hills where the County Poor farm Is located, graze around and about the institution unmolested. Off in one part of the grounds the pesthouse Is located, and these cows may approach the Infection hospital and may come In contact with refuse from the hospital In eplte of the fact that everything Is supposed to be disinfected that leaves the house. A rancher who comes Into the city frequently and who passes the poor farm on his way to town, is authority for the statement that some of the cows browsing on the hills are af fected with some sort of disease, the nature of which he was unable to de termine, only he asserts that he saw cows with sores plainly observable and he raised the question whether they might not have contracted smallpox from coming In contact with material thrown out from the pesthouse. The secretary of the State Board of Health, Dr. Tenney, said last jilght that it Is possible for cows to become Infected from contact with a small pox patient, and cited the discovery of vaccine by Dr. Jenner through such communication. He added, however, that the pesthouse Is a model of clean liness and that nothing is thrown out that in any way could be a menace. All bandages and clothing that had beun used by a patient suffering from a con tagious disease are either thoroughly fumigated and rendered innocuous or destroyed entirely. He was rather dubious about the matter of cows contracting disease in grazing near the pesthouse, but said that as a precaution the county author ities should erect fences so that cattle could not approach danger. There had been no epidemic of smallpox, he said, that would cause his department to make an examination, and he was of the opinion that conditions at the poor farm were satisfactory. "If there are milch cows prowling: around the pesthouse, the State Food and Dairy Inspector will be getting after them In short order, I should say," concluded Dr. Tenney. Colonel Crooks Is III. Colonel William Crooks, assistant to General Manager O'Brien of the Harri man Interests In this territory, has been taken sick again and is confined to his rooms at the Imperial Hotel. Colonel Crooks recently returned to bis desk after an Illness of several weeks and his for mer trouble, a combination of stomach disorders and rheumatism, again attacked him. It Is believed he will recover after a few days rest. Seven-Jewel Elgin watch, 18 size, 20-year ase. $9.io. Metzger. 843 Wash. st. SMITH'S DAILY ROUND-UP EDITED BY THE FRANK L.

We guar antee every ounce, every pound of meat from Smith's to be the purest, cleanest, freshest and healthiest of Ore gon meats, and Oregon leads the world. In spite of all the machinations of the Beef Trust, in spite of Its edict, "Smith must go," in spite of all the methods taken to trap him, "SMITH WILL, WIN." The Beef Trust, who served its poisonous meats, its frozen and em balmed beef to our soldiers In the Spanish-American War, sent to an early grave, murdered In the heyday of their Uves, 10,000 or more American youths. This same monstrous ogre was serv ing the same poisonous food to the American people. It was bribing Gov eminent Inspectors to pass "anything," it was saving in blind vats the con demned, diseased and unfit carcasses and selling them In Beef Trust mar kets, when "The Jungle' was written and Roosevelt applied the big stick. When the Beef Trust, like Wolsey, In its dying gasps admits, "Corruption wins not more than honesty"; when the Beef Trust markets are In the Junk PUe' "SMITH WILL HAVE VOX."
