East Glisan Street Improvement
Considered. Two propositions are be
ing considered for the paving of East
Glisan street east from East Seventy
fifth. One is to extend to the city lim
its and the other to East Eighty-fifth
street, short two blocks from the city
limits. There Is some difficulty in the
way of improving the last two blocks
in the fact that Brainard's cemetery,
under the control of the city, is on the
south side of East Glisan at the city
limits, and the property on the north
side is not assessed high enough to
Te bonded for the improvement. Com
missioner Dieck wants the improve
ment to stop at East Eighty-eighth
street because of these difficulties. The
city would be assessed for the part
fronting on the cemetery. William
DeVeny and others, however, are in
sisting that the pavement should go
to the city limits, and will appear be
fore the city council and urge that
some way be found to pava to the city
limits.

MR. DODSOX EXFXAIXS CASE FOR
PARITY WITH SOUND.
Developments of Shipping; Declared to
Be Portland's First Dnty to In

W. D. B. Dodson, secretary of the
trade and commerce bureau, outlined
some of the problems before the Cham
ber of Commerce In his address before
the Currents Events Club, of West
minster Presbyterian Church, yester
day, in connection with the Astoria,
parity of rates, and an open discus
sion of the subject was held.
Mr. Dodson said he would not at
tempt to say what the effects of the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission giving Astoria parity rates
would be, as there was wide differ
ence of opinion of that point. He gave
a short review of the 'case and ex
plained why Portland did not inter
vene when the matter was before the
Commission. He said that when the
rates go into effect and they are
settled Portland will ask for a lower
rate such as her position entitles her
to receive.
Mr. Dodson showed maps indicating
the territory Portland serves, as com
pared with that served by Puget Sound,
and he held that the first and most
important question for Portland is the
development of its marine service.
BORDER LEFT IN TURMOIL
A. J. Hagar Brings Views of Results
of Mexican Warfare.
News of turbulent times on the Mex
ican border was brought to Portland
yesterday by A, J. Hagar, a barber in
a Stark street shop, living at 188
Twelfth street. He has just returned
from a visit to El Paso and Juarez.
The latter town, formerly wide open,
is now rather quiet, he said, the race
track, however, being open and daily
races are the attraction.
Mr. Hagar brought back with him"
scenes of border life that are not like
ly to attract settlers. A house at Juar
ez, riddled by bullets from the guns
of a roving Mexican band is one, and
another shows one of three followers
of Villa lined up for execution by Car
ranza troops.
Disaffection Among; Workmen Would
Hamper Seriously, Xow That Orders
Are Coming: In.
The belief was generally expressed
among labor leaders and in marina
circles yesterday that the Portland
shipbuilding industry would not suffer
from a sympathetic strike as the re
sult of the walkout at San Francisco
shipbuilding plants.
Eugene E. Smith, president of the
central labor council and a member of
the building trades union, said yester
day that, in his opinion, there would
be no strike here. He said no commu
nication relative to assisting the unions
on strike in San Francisco had been
received from labor headquarters.
"The strike in San Francisco." he
said, "is caused by purely local condi
tions. I am of the opinion that there
is no possibility of its being communi
cated to the industry here unless other
conditions not now evident should enter
into the tieup." .
Portland shipbuilding concerns were
in general optimistic over the situation
yesterday, and there was a belief that
there would.be no trouble with the
workmen here. It was conceded that
a strike would be a serious matter now,,
Just as orders of a substantial charac
ter are beginning to come in and pos
sibilities are getting strong for the
swinging of some of the larger con
tracts. The condition of the workmen in the
shipbuilding plants here is said to be
satisfactory compared to the conditions
in other industries.
CHURCH DEBT IS SMALL
FIRST METHODIST SOUTH SHOWS
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS.
Reports Indicate Increases In Member
ship and All Departments, as Well
as Financial Strength. "
The beautiful stone building and
property of the First Methodist Episco
pal Church South, Union avenue and
Multnomah streets, stands practically
free from the burden of local debt,
after a long struggle on the part of
the congregation, and the church is in
excellent condition in every way, ac
cording to reports submitted to the
second quarterly conference in the
church yesterday. Rev. S. M. Cheek,
presiding elder for the district, pre
sided, and expressed great pleasure
over the reports received. These showed
substantial progress 4n size of the con
gregation. Increase in the Sunday school
and in all departments of the work.
Rev. F. D. Fenton is pastor.
The Portland First Church South was
erected about 10 years ago while Rev.
E. H. Mowre was the pastor, at a cost
of approximately $75,000. In the erec
tion of this stone "church Rev. Mr.
Mowre had the assistance and co-operation
of practically the entire denomina
tion in. the United States, and the
Church Extension Society. Still, it was
a heavy burden, as the congregation
was small. It is now the leading
Methodist Church South on this Coast.

GRANGERS HEAR ADDRESS
WEDDING DAY IS OBSERVED
Mr. and Mrs. George C. Lincoln Are
Honored on Anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. George C. Lincoln
turned back the years Saturday and
recollected that it was just 32 years to
a day since they were married.
Thereupon they decided they would
take a little walk about the town, arm

years ago. So they put out the cat,
locked the door and strolled away.
In the meantime friends and rela

A. D. StJllman, of Helena, Talks on
Cheap Money for Farmers.
In his address on "Money and Mar
kets" before Woodlawn Grange Satur
day night, A. ID. Stillman, of Helena,
Mont., pointed out that farmers can
assist themselves through co-operation
and said that under the regional bank
ing system farmers may organize Na
tional banks, saving from 3 to 4 per
cent on short-time loans. This has
been done, he said, in Montana, with
the result that the farmers are getting
money to handle their crops at 6 per
cent.
"Before this co-operation," said Mr.
Stillman, , "the farmers were paying 8
per cent for money to pay for the mar
keting of their crops. When they
asked the banks for 6 per cent, they
were told the banks could not loan
them money for less than 8 per rent.
