HolllnKs fcead made a stroll protest against Its roiwlrieratton. Holllnitshead MwrKd tl.at te would carry the controversy to the Beneral conference. The building commute- severely crltlciaed Rev. W.

Mr. Kuster In his report. provided the bulletins; committee worka Viarmonloualy with the rest of the mem bership." It Is becauae of a difference existing between theburdlna-eommltteeand I:ev. ilr. Kuster that the stone church Is In complete and that nothing has been lone for months toward Its completion, and It la because of this. alo. that he Is to be transferred to another chars bv Bishop 8mtth when the annual con ference meets at iltllsburo September ( Imrcli .Ma j I.oe $6000. Owing- to the deadlock that existed, he buildlnc committee refused to pro ceed with the construction of the new church and notified the Cooper Sand stone Company to that effect about thrre months aso. Since then the com pany lias cone out of business, and It ts said that the congregation of Sunny aide Church will lose about f'000. Iv. Mr. Kuster's report showed that IlCOrtO has been ralesd alnce he came to Sunavslde from Pendleton two yeara ago. and that the I-adlcs' Aid Society has $1000 cash on hand to be applied n the pipe organ; that money has been paid in for the . A. K. window; for the tower chime clock, and for the furnishings for the various rooms. About 250 new members have been taken Into the church since Rev. Mr. Kuster took charge. The parsonage baa been repaired and made much more commodious and substantial and for the first time the church now has 500 mem bers. There Is enough stone on the ground to complete the new church, all f which Is paid for. H. X. Ftlack. an architect, went over the details of the work about eight months ago. says the report, and a signed statement waa delivered to Dis trict Superintendent Holllngshead for the use of Bishop Smith, showing that the new church can be completed, all furnished, for 1 31. 009. "I hope." said Rev. Mr. Fusler, "that the building committee will unite upon the new preacher, to be aent here by order of the Bishop, and that It will carry out the duty It la charged with by the quarterly conference to build the new church without going In debt, aa It is all out of debt now and there Is money In the bank." Several months ago there were some of the members of the church who favored borrowing sufficient monev wnn wmrn to complete the much needed church, but the building com lulttee refused to listen to this plan, Ming mey nail pledged themselves to par lr the building aa It went along and to turn It over free of debt. The congregation la now a unit on this, sup porting tne committee In Its policy, and whenever the church Is finished. It win oe without being In debt for single cent. iucn speculation Is heard aa to who win succeea uev. lr. Kuster. It I understood that Bishop Smith will ransier a preacher from another coo pernaps rrom the East.

CIVIC COUNCIL FORMED 5IOIBKI1S DKCIDK THAT POLI TICS WILL BE TABOO, Elective Officeholders and Polltl- clan Cannot Join New I im provement Organizatin. Klectlv officeholders and politicians were branded as undesirable material for the membership In the Civic Coun cil of the City of Portland. Oregon, an organization launched Wednesday nlg!it by delegates from the various Improve ment club of Portland. Aside from adopting the constitution and b-laws and electing officers, the question of eliminating politics formed the principal discussion of the evening. The article In the constitution relative to politics! and religious subjects as pre sented by the committee precipitated vigorous arguments and wns finally amended to read that "no public official holding an elective office or avowed can didate shall be admitted to membership." To head the Civic Council. John H. Haak was the unanimous choice of the meeting. Mr. Haak. In explanation of the purposes of the organization, said that many - matters of public concern would come up for consideration from time to time, that large sums of money would be expended In public Improve ments and that many measures of In terest to all tbe citizens, passed by the City Council, should have the attention and consideration of the members of the Civic Council. It Is to be the function of the organization, he said, to see that measures, to be adopted by the City Council, have the beet Interests of all the people fully protected. Other officers elected were: Allen' R. Joy, vice-president: 8. W. Walker, sec retary, and L. E. Latourettc. treasurer. The question of water mains waa not generally discussed, owing to the lateness of the hour, but A. R. Joy in his speech of acceptance of the office of vice president, arraigned the present methods i usd In the distribution of Bull Run i water. He said om reason the outlvjng I district were unable to get their quota of water waa that a large portion waa wasted and that more than one half of the dally water supply was consumed In cleaning and sprinkling the streets and used for manufacturing purposes. He declared that leas than 40 per cent of the water supply In Portland waa used, for domestic purposes. m mj?km wt y?u W mfmM iJ THERE'S not a man in town interested in good clothes who won't be interested in examining these new arrivals from Hart S & M chaffner Cbpy right Hart Scbsffhcr 6c Mux arx You'll find pleasure in looking at them; more pleasure in wearing them.

Polly, formerly chief clerk for the Ostermann Manufacturing Company, waa the chief witness for the prosecution Wednestlay in the hearing of conspiracy charges against F. P. Hurrlman. J. M. Taylor and Chnrlen L lowing In connection with the Illinois Ontral Railroad car repair frauds. Polly's testimony was as sensational as that given on Monday and Tuesday by Theophyl Rcuther and Fred Barbett.,also former employes of the Ostermann con cern. Pol!y'a connection with the Ostermann Company, he said, covered the years J7, VWS and 199. during which he 'declared tliat from 65 to lio per cent was added to all Illinois Ontral repair bills. He stated further that he and other em ployes of the Ostermann concern had ac cess) to the "O. K." stamp used by the railroad's car inspectors and that he frequently thus stamped Dills to be presented to the railroad for payment. "Did the Ostermann Company et'er de part from the car Inspector's records in submitting repair bill to the Illinois Central ?" asked Attorney Walter Fisher for the prosecution. "Yes." "Under whose ordersT' "Henry C. Ostermann's." answered Polly. "What were the orders given?" "To get aa much on the cars as w could." "What was the average amount of the bill?" They varied from tfOrt to $400 a car." "Who gave instructions as to the change of average?" "Ostermann. In 1908 it was 2Za and in 1909 It was JT5." "Were there any records in the lfflce of the company whereby the actual work done on the cars was shown?" . "Yes." the witness replied, "but they were never referred to." Polly was shown a memorandum book, said to have been kept by Wil liam schaeffer, one of the Illinois Cen tral's Inspectors at the Ostermann plant. This book conta'ned the numbers of about 400 cars. "What was said about those num bers?" asked Attorney Fibher. "These numbers." said Polly, refer ring to the book, "are the numbers of cars lor which Ostermaji said to meke bills for and run to the limit." Attorney Fisher asked Polly whether the stamp of "R. Rother, inspector I. C. R. R." indicated that the latter had nqulred Into all the repairs' made upon railroad cars. "Did he always put the stamp on the bills?" asked Attorney Fisher. "Well, sometimes he did and some times he did not. and then I did," was the response. What was the occasion of your O. K. upon the bills?" "Sometimes Rother was pretty lively and told me to do It," was the reply. Polly said that lie did not think the Inspector whose name he signed or stamped ever made an Inquiry to deter mine whether the material set forth In the bill was supplied.

Tuesdav night, the man lay unsheltered front the elements and without food. He obtained water by crawling to a hydrant 200 feet away, but as his Illness progressed, these visits became less frequent. He was al most delirious from thirst when found. rst Monday. Lewis said, a switchman passed him and. thinking that he was only a hungry tramp, gave him some bread and butter from his lunch bor. He loathed food by that time and could not swallow it. Lewis was a pitiful sight when dis covered by Patrolman Burke.

An ambu lance was called and the unfortunate man was sent to the County Hospital. With careful fcdlng it is believed that he will not succumb to his terrible experience.
