NEW YEAR'S CROWD BUYS Boys Sell Many Beginnlnj Wednes day Night and Some Charge as Much as 15 Cents a Copy. More Than 12 5,000 Out. Portland people are so accustomed to the regular appearance of The Oregonian annual edition that they accept It on the morning of each re curring January 1 as & matter of fact. They expect the unexpected In The Oreg-onlan annual. While the many distinctly new and novel features -In the big: 78-page paper yesterday pleased, entertained and Instructed the people, they were not surprised. In deed, they would have been disappoint ed had they failed to receive something unusual. More than 125,000 papers were print ed, including the regular circulation of SS.000, leaving the remaining 67,000 papers to be mailed out for general distribution. As usual, the papers found ready sale. A big force of newsboys was on hand even before midnight Wednesday to receive their allotments. The crowds returning home from the mid night matinees found them on the streets. The little merchants sold many papers. Before daylight papers In the regu lar green wrappers started , to make their appearance. The enterprising newsboys placed stamps on them and prepared them for mailing. Purchas ers needed only to buy the wrapped bundles and write the addresses on them. The boys did the rest. Some of the little hustlers even attended: to the writing. Some Sell at 15 Cents. Although The Oregonian had given extensive publicity to the fact that the papers were to be sold for 10 cents. Including postage, the boys bad no dif ficulty in getting 16 cents for them. They had an established scale of two wrapped papers, with postage prepaid, for a quarter, or three for 40 cents. "Here, I thought these papers were to be sold for a dime?" demanded one man. "Do you suppose I am here for fun? answered the boy. A prominent banker also sought to obtain a wrapped paper for a dime, seeking more to Joke with the boy than to have him cut the price, but the lad would not be subdued. He insisted and obtained IS cents. Prosperity was too much for one boy. A purchaser wanted to know If he could get "six for a dollar?" The boy studied awhile. "Come back after a while," he ad vised, and Immediately set about with paper and pencil to figure If the sale would be a profitable one. The newsboys buy their papers out right from The Oregonian office. . While they are Instructed to sell them for 10 cents. Including postage, they cannot be compelled to sell them at that figure. Stamped papers, ready for mailing, can be obtained in The Oregonian office at the advertised, price of 10 cents. , The fact that the boys found ready Rale for their wares at 15 cents is proof of .the value that Portland people attach to the issue. Business men and citizens generally regard it as an ex cellent medium of exploiting the state's resources and the wonderful possibilities of the Northwestern coun try In general. Business Men Praise It. - Here Is some of the comment made by Portland business men yesterday: W. P. Woodward, of Woodard, Clarke & Company It is magnificent. It breathes an Inspiration' into every de pressed business man. I am not a pessimist, but I know there are some such here. They should read The Ore gonian annual. It Is Something that Portland needs. I wish It would come oftener than once a year. The great volume of papers that was mailed out testifies to the fact that It receives general distribution. F. & Knapp, former president of the Chamber of Commerce It was a good edition. It advertises our resources better than any other medium. It will be a great help to our city.

From an editorial and mechanical standpoint It in the best of the kind I ever saw. It will do a whole lot of good In attract - lng the right kind "of people to Oregon. Adolph Wolfe, of Lipman, Wolfe & Company 1 think the edition will do a lot of good In letting people of the f.&st know what we have here In Port land, but it is also of great value to people right here at home. Those lllus tratlons of Portland streets and Port land buildings and that blrdseye view of the business district should be Btudied by everyone in Portland.

The compilation ' of facts and figures spread over the country compels at tention to our superb resources and cannot fail to draw to our city and state a splendid new citizenship. Such enterprise shows that The Oregonian Is aomg real work in the upbuilding and aeveiopmeni or. ue state. Worlmnn Calls It Credit. H. C. Wortman, of Olds, Wortman & King It certainly Is a credit, not only to the publishers of The Oregonian, but to the entire community. Not many papers nave sucn enterprise. And few " of those that have the enterprise have the ability. But more than that, we are proua mat Portland and Oregon have the resources to form the foun dation of such an Issue. It will be a source of much enlightenment to peo ple In the Bast and elsewhere. I know that the annual edition regularly is sent by Portland people to relatives and friends In all parts of the world.

'? 2 1 - i 1 1 SOLUTION 15 FRIED More Than 200 Taylor-Street Methodists Adopt Plan. RETENTION OF CHURCH AIM New Edifice Surges ted, Appointment of Pastor Asked and Consolida tion Not Opposed, if It Can -Be Done With Harmony. Resolutions adopted unanimously by more than 200 members of the' former Taylor-Street Methodist Church at a meeting held In that Cnurch Wednes day night, offer the solution of these members for a settlement of the dif ferences between members of the con gregation which resulted in the church becoming divided recently. The resolutions as adopted follow: We, the undersigned committee, appoint ed by you for the purpose of formulating a definite plan for the settling of the diffi culties under which we are now operating hereby present the following as representing the sentiment of the congregation; this plan to be presented to the bishop as a method for settllnc the 'said difficulties. We pledge our moral support to worlc for tne carrying out or tne propositions herein indicated. We believe that a church Is always main tained by the support of people in moderate, circumstances. We believe that the rank and file of the membership of this church will contribute to its support and that this is evidenced by the Tact tnat there were 103 separate contribu tors when the recent subscriptions for the City Church Extension Society were taken nere. Harmony Ieclared to Exist, . We are a united, harmonious body of peo ple, loyal to the Methodist Episcopal Church, anxious and willing to work for the success . of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a means for promoting righteous ness and the advancement of Qod's kingdom in tnis city. We are able and willing to pay a salary for the best preacher that can be obtained lor this church. We are able and willing to pay the run' ning expenses of this church. We are able and willing to provide ade quate facilities for carrying on the work of the church, Sunday school, ETp worth League and other organizations within the church. We will continue the work of securing ad ditional subscriptions to the $40,000 already pledged, with the end in view of erecting a' new cnurcn on tnis site in the very near future. As a part of this plan, which would as sure the retention of this valuable property to Methodism, and with renewed recognition of our church entity, we .are willing that our articles ol incorporation shall be amend ed so' as to obviate difficulties which now exist. ! We are not opposed to consolidation if It can be accomplished harmoniously, and It the people thus merged into one membership cats, work xogetner Harmoniously. Trustees Are Advised. VVe recommend that the property of the Wfnt Methodist Episcopal Church be placed under the control of a board of trustees trith the understanding that when the First Methodist Episcopal Church ceases to be self-sustaining and effective, at the corner of Third and Taylor streets, the property is to oe neia as an endowment xuna tor city church extension work. Therefore, we contend that the First , Methodist Yf Choiron, j jnafl ax&a ' - C r H-.-, . , -"V. ! ; ... . " fry, rniiiiiiii i nrn iir nr t-- V .- . sg t. .V"' "-V 1 5 that It be maintained at the corner of Third and Taylor streets. vve request that we have a regular preacher appointed to this charge to carry on the work of Methodism In this church. we request that we have a Quarterly con ference from this congregation, in order that we may carry on the official business of the church and properly pay our own preacher and the bills that are Incurred in the run ning; of the church. In case of consolidation and In the Inter ests of harmony, we advise that the present quarterly conference be dissolved, and that a new quarterly conference be elected the trustees to be chosen by the membership and subsequently nominated by the castor. Pending the - appointment of a regular preacher we ask: That. Dr. Kerr be permltetd to make such arrangements for preaching services as ne may aem nest. Criticism Is Not Wanted. . That we may be permitted to advertise these services In any way that seems deslr able without criticism from anyone formerly connected with this church. That we may elect our own treasurer to take care of the funds and pay the bills in curred In the running- of our church. TVe feel that the action of 'the quarterly conference on October 1& was illegal. We believe that our contention that the action of the quarterly conference Is Illegal has been sustained by all church authorities and that we are entitled to a public statement of the fact that it Is the First Methodist Episcopal Church. The committee comprised W. H. Beharrell, B. Lee Pa set, Samuel Con nell, N. C. Thome and Dr. Alan Welch Smith. The official board of the church will hold a meeting: at the church tonight at 7:30 o'clock. It is understood that at this meeting; the members of the church body formed by the union of the Tay lor-Street and Grace Church congrega tions will register their desires as to the continuance of that church. The bishop will be present. 2000 OBJECT TO RAILWAY Petitions Asking for Referendum on Franchise Said to Be Ready.

Dealera Expect Active Operations Eastera Aewnt t Be Re- lliui Soon. Hop dealers are satisfied there will be an active movement In the Oregon market as soon es the holiday spirit baa disap peared. Mora inquiries are coming in than for some time past, and taken altogether the tone of the market Is distinctly better. No deals -were closed yesterday, but offers were made on a number of lota. A bid of 21)4 eents was made on 400 bales and not accepted. Offers of 21 eents were made on two large lota A total of nearly 1000 bales could .have been moved had growers been willing to take the prices offered. It is likely that the bulk of the business done from now on will be for American ac count. It Is known that many Eastern brewers have yet to provide for their needs and it is not at all certain that an actual Bhortage will not develop before the season is over. The export side of the business cannot be considered as closed, in spite of the 100,000 bales or more already purchased for the British trade. There is a place for all the hops now reaching England, accord- lng to the British Brewers Journal. That paper says in its latest issue: "The reduction in prices which has taken place during the past month has tempted a good many consumers to increase their stock; at the same time there has been nothing in the nature of general buy ing. The shortage of the English crop is already becoming apparent, and a few weeks' brisk trade would go a long way to wards clearing the market. The heavy ar rivals of Pacific Coast hops are now prin cipally In fulfilment of forward contracts, the quantity offering on the market being inconsiderable. - Omaha Livestock Market. cniTTtr rkXfATTA- Nth..
