BISHOP ATKINS IS SPEAKER
Audience of 1700 People Attends
Morning Meeting and $75,000
Edifice Is Greatly Admired.
Task Took Four Years.
The new stone edifice of the First
Methodist Episcopal' Church South,
erected, at Union avenue and Mult
.nomah street, costing nearly $75,000.
and now valued at 1100.000, was ded
icated yesterday in a series of services'
that occupied practically the entire day.
A debt of about $10,000 was provided
for at the several meetings held and $1000
additional rals4 the morning serv
ices something over 5000 was subscribed
in sums ranfring from $5 to $500. In the
afcernoon $1000 was ssubscribed and last
r.lght. $100O. The Church Extension Soci
ety subscribed tXOO. and Rev. Mr. Mowre,
$'.5'". An audience of 1700 people occu
pied the auditorium at the morning- meet
in. Bishop Atkins, who had presided at
the anual conference, preached the ser
mon. Rev. E. H. Mowre, the pastor and
leader in the erection of the church,
presided. Kev. L. B. Beaty. assistant
editcr of the Sunday school publica
tions, and E. J. Stanley, of the Mon
tana conference, occupied seat on the
platform. Rev. Mr. Mowre made a
short' address In which he thanked
those who had co-operated with him
in erecting "the church, and specially
commended Architect A. H. Faber. who
drew the plans and con-rrlbuted largely
to the building fund. He said that
during; the four years consumed in the
erection o the church over 200 men
had been employed. -
"I wish to announce." continued Mr.
Mowre. 'that this is a church for all
the people of this city. These rooms,
the clubrooms and the rooms for
women and for other purposes will be
open day and night and all will ba
welcome to use them."
At the morninir service Mrs. Rose
Bloch Bauer sang; "Recessional," Just
before the sermon by Bishop Atkins.
The large organ, with Charles L.
Havnes as organist, was heard to best
advantage.
RlshOD Atkins preached"-, on "The
Spiritual Beauties of Worldly Posses
sions." the text being St. Luke xvii:I3
"And when he heard this he was sorry
for he was very rTr-h. The sermon
applied directly to the right use of
money and the "bishop contended that
the man of wealth is only a steward
of the wealth of God. who will hold
htm responsible. He scored men who
accumulated money for evil purposes.
Closing he pointed to the new church

right use of money .for the upbuilding;

In the afternoon a platform meeting
was held which was addressed by
Judge Bronaugh. Dr. J. Whitcomb

SOLONIAYBEG!
Census Expected to Give Ore
gon Another Congressman.
650,000 FAIR ESTIMATE
Based on Former Apportionment,
State Is Almost Certain to Gain
Additional Representative.
New District Probable.
Oreeon. undoubtedly, will gain a third
Representative in Congress as a result of
next j-ear's Federal census. It. is con
servatively estimated that the enumera
tion will credit the state with a popula
tion of at least 50,000. On "the basis of
apportionment by wMch the present
membership of the lower house was de-.
termined, Oregon would easily gain an
other Representative. Even if the basis
of apportionment Is Increased, as it prob
ably will be following the taking of the
census, this state is reasonably certain of
increasing Its membership in the Na
tional House of Representatives to the
extent of another member.
According to the census of 1900, the
population of the state was 413,536. The
basis of apportioning the membership of
the House of Representatives was one to
194.1S3 of population, .which gave Oregon
two Representatives. When the 1910 cen
sus has been completed, the basis of rep
resentation in the lower house in all
probability will b increased to one Rep
resentative for every 225,000 and possibly
260.000 population. Even on a basis of one
Representative to every zou.ww or popuia
tion
still be entitled to anoxner xiepi:"
tive If. the new enumeration reaches 650.
000, which is considered a practical cer
tainty. - '
Should the state gain this increased
reoresentation in Congres. Multnomah
County undoubtedly would constitute the
new district. Prominent politicians in
this city contend that Multnomah
County, with the possible addition of Co
lumbia and Clatsop counties, wouldT form
the natural territory for a Third Con
gressional District. These three counties
easily represent one-third of the popula
tion of the state and consequently would
be entitled to that proportion of the
state's representation m the House of
Representatives. It is argued that under
such an arrangement the present bounds
of the First and Second districts could
remain practically intact.
This division of the state, it Is con
tended, would give all sections the most
equitable representation that could be de
vised. The Willamette Valley and South
ern Oregon would have their Congress
man, Eastern Oregofc, also could have
Its Representative while Multnomah and
tho two adjacent counties suggested
could supply the third. Thte arrange
mnt would have the further effect of
putting an end to the fight between East-
,-. TnHnnmflh CoUntV
erIi vicsuu oim - . -
which recurs every two years tn the
election of a Representative from the
Second Congressional District.
"In the Federal census of 1300, Port
land was given a population of 90,426,"
said Seneca C. Beach, Census Supervisor,
yesterday, "and I am satisfied this city
now has at least two and one-half times
that number.' Thin would give Portland
a population of about 235,000 which I re
gard a conservative estimate and which I
believe will be proved by the census
which will be taken next April.
"The population of Portland Is ad
mitted to be about one-third that of the
entire state. On this basi3. which is a
safe one. th population of the coun
ties outside of Multnomah will show a
population of 7O,OO0. These figures. would
give the state then a total population
of 705000 wnich may be a little high. It
is on this basis and for these reasons I
am firmly convinced that the state's
population according to the census which
has been ordered taken next year, will
surely reach 650.000."

Is the result of a misunderstanding of
the terms of a contract by which the
association a year ago engaged the
services of Mr. Wehrung as general
manager for this year's exposition. The
contract called for the payment to Mr.
Wehrung of $3000 at the opening of

Mr Wehrunar agreed to depend on the
proceeds of the exposition for his com
pensation. Trouble Breaks at Meeting.
Differences between Mr.- Wehrung
and the officers of the fair association
culminated at a meeting of the board ,
of directors of the association Saturday.
At this meeting Mr. Wehrung, after
submitting an approximate statement
showing that the receipts for. the week
aggregated about $20,000, while the ex
penses of the exposition had reached
a total of about $23,500, creating a
probable deficit of $3500, proposed that
the directors forthwith should direct
the issuance of a check for $3000 to
him in full payment of his contract.
To this proceeding the directors de
murred, reminding Mr. Wehrung of
the understanding hey had that he
would not demand his pay unless the
exposition was a financial success. At
this, say the directors, Mr. Wehrung
produced his contract and arbitrarily
demanded the immediate payment of
his claim. This was refused, although
the directors ordered that checks issue
immediately in payment of all premium
and purse awards. Mr. Wehrung dur
ing the afternoon consulted an attor
ney and filed an attachment suit in
volving the receipts of the association
for tne entire week.
"It was just a year ago that, at the
request of the directors of the Portland
Fair and Livestock Association, I sub
mitted a' proposal agreeing.-for $3000, to
become general manager and give them
a good show this year," said Mr. Weh
rung yesterday, in discussing the affair.
"Subsequently a contract "was drawn up
by an attorney representing the fair as
sociation, in which it was stipulated that
I should receive $3000 for my services
at the opening of the fair last week. This
agreement was signed by myself and H.
C. Campbell and G. A. Westgate, vice
president and secretary, respectively, of
the association at that time.
' Contract Was Questioned.
"At a special meeting of the directors
Saturday I submitted a statement show
ing the approximate receipts and ex
penses of the exposition, which disclosed
a probable deficit of $3500. I suggested
that the directors indorse a note in that
amount, myself agreeing also to sign
the Tiote. and carry it over until next
year. Thla would enable the association
immediately to liquidate all claims, . in
cluding that of $3000 for my salary.
"When I made, this suggestion, Tom
Richardson, one of the men attending the
meeting, made the charge that I die not
have any contract. When I produced that
document, he followed his first statement
up by saying that I had not' earned my
money and that I would have to wait
ntu the directors could adjust my claim.
fi will admit that I became a little wrathy
at tnis sort oi uchuhchi
directors 4hat I . intended to protect my
own interests. '
"It was only when I satisfied myself
that the officers ef the association did
not propose to make any satisfactory set
tlement with me that I decided to bring
a suit. Tt was not my Intention to act
arbitrarily or to do anything that in any
way possible could reflect on the fair
and its management. I believe I fulfilled
my contract and gave the fair manage
ment a good show, and' for that reason
am entitled to my money. It is true
that I could not control the elements,
neither could I force people to attend the
fair but if it had not rained on the two
opening' days of the exposition the re
ceipts for the show would easily have
exceeded all expenditures." ,
Campbell Makes Statement.
"News that Mr. Wehrung 'has filed a
suit attaching the receipts of the fair
association is all news to me," said Mr.
Campbell, the vice-president of the asso
ciation, last night. "The officers will ar
range tomorrow to provide the required
indemnity bond and all proper claims
against the association will be liquidated
at once. Our understanding of the con
tract we had with Mr. Wehrung was that
he should give ua a successful show and
look to the proceeds of the exposition for
his pay. Ordinarily the test of a fair or
other undertaking is the financial end.
There la no disposition on the part of the
officers of the association to repudiate
onv mntrnEt thev have with Mr. Weh
rung, but we do feel that he should not
have' been so arbitrary In his demands
for a settlement In view of the condition
of the finances of the association."
"When we were negotiating with Mr.
Wehrung a year ago," saia anomer mem
ber of the board of directors last night,
"he gave us to understand that, unless
the exposition-was a suocess financially,
he would not expect to ask for the
amount of his salary-certainly not until
the association's finances were in proper
shape. The directors are all busy men.
and the matter of drawing up a con
tract was left largely to our attorney and
Mr. Wehrung. Naturally, we were sur
prised when Mr. Wehrung appeared be
fore us Saturday and proposed that a
check ba at once Issued In payment for
his services in full. We felt that he
should ba willing to consent to an ad
justment by which his claim should ba
paid proportionately, in the same man
ner as other claims, unless the dlreotora
should make provision for liquidation all
In full." , M
With the proposed filing of an Indem
nity bond by the officers of the associa
tion in the courts today, it will be up
to Mr. Wehrung to prosecute his claim
In the .action he has instituted In the Cir
cuit Court. This litigation, following the
close of the fair, la deeply regretted by
the officers of the association. The ex
position was a big success. The exhibit
of the livestock resources of the stata
was most creditable, insuring the perma
nency of this institution, and the holding
of larger and better expositions in the
future. The stockmen were air-pleased,
while the racehorse men were all de
lighted with the race course and the
treatment received. The horsemen were
enthusiastic in pronouncing the track the
best In the state, if not the fastest in the
United States.
