Frank Hacheney, E. C. Bronaugh and J. W. Sherwood. Many members of the association were unable to attend the meeting, on account of the Shrlners' banquet, but there was a good-sized attendance, which included a number of ladies, who been especially Invited to be present. Mrs. E. M. Shafford, who is -one of the few members of the American League of Civic Improvement residing In Portland, spoke at some length concerning Im provements that would tend to beajutify the city. She told of the work carried on in other cities, and her remarks con cerning the needed improvements in South Portland were greatly appreciated. Mrs. Shafford responded to a number of questions from different people in the audience. Mrs. B. H Trumbull spoke briefly upon the needs of South Portland, and made a plea to the taxpayers present to attend the school meeting on Monday night to vote for the support of the free kinder gartens. A. A. Courtney then moved that a vote of thanks be tendered the speakers, and the motion was carried, amid loud ap plause. The meeting then took up the regular order of business, and Dr. W. H. Saylor, who had been appointed chairman of a special committee on schools, read his report, . which showed the condition of the Homestead school to be overcrowded and decidedly unsanitary. The commit tee rccdmmended that new class-rooms and toilet-rooms be added and that the cement walls in the basement be repaired. It was also recommended that the name of the school be changed to the South Portland Public School. A general dis cussion on the condition of the school followed, and other Instances of its un sanitary condition were shown. The re port was referred to the committee, with the understanding that it be presented at the school meeting on Monday night. Under the head of unfinished business J. E. Werlein. chairman of the commit tee appointed to wait on the Charter Commission, then arose and presented a verbal report of his experiences with that body. Mr. Werlein discussed the ward boundary question pro and con, explaining the attitude of the Charter Commission and its probable willingness to make Caruthers street the division line, and Include everything south of that street in the Sixth Ward. A subcommittee made its report, which was to the effect that the Charter Commission intended to stand, "pat" on'its apportionment of wards and' Councllmcn, but that a compromise could in all probability be made by placing the division line at Caruthers street. After a short parliamentary squabble, In which some of the members caused the hall to echo and re-echo with their bursts of oratory, the meeting got down to busi ness once more, and a motion was car ried instructing the committee appointed to meet the Charter Commission to com promise on one ward in South, Portland, with Caruthers street as the northern boundary. A committee, consisting of J. E. Court ney, B. F. Jones, J. W. Sherwood, was ap pointed to look up a new hall. Mrs B. H. Trumbull then asked all ladles Inter ested in the formation of a woman's aux iliary to the South Portland Improvement Association to meet at her residence, 821 Corbett street, on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. It was moved and carried that W. B. Chase, City Engineer, be asked to address the association at the meeting of Feb ruary l, on the subject of "Fills and Improvements," SUIT OVER MINING LOANS.

HInes died at his resi dence at 2:45 o'clock this morning of grip, rheumatism and complications. H. K. HInes, D. D. the youngest, of 12 children of James and Betsy (Round) HInes, was born In Herkimer County, New York, in 182S. He was a brother of GustavusHines.a well-known Oregon mis sionary. His ancestral line, on his moth er's side, clearly traced back to Edwardy of New England, through Lawrence Wil kinson, from whom Mr. Hlnes was the fourth descent. His own grandfather Bertram Round, was an Ensign and Lieu tenant in the Revolutionary War. On his father's side, he was a descendant of the Hopklnses, of Rhode Island, and of the Churches, of Massachusetts, who came from England in Governor Winthrop's fleet in 1630 and landed at Plymouth. It will thus be seen that he Inherited pio neer blood. His early life was spent in Oswego County. New York, to which his family emigrated when he was three years of age. Then almost literally a wilderness, that region afforded him very limited scholastic advantages. In his 14th year he joined the church, and before he was 16 was licensed to exhort" by Rev. William Peck, an elder brother of Bishop Peck. Early in his 19th year he was licensed to preach, and soon after, removing to West ern New York, he was used as a supply on the Eden circuit, In the Genesse Con ference, on. trial. In that conference he served such appointments as Wyoming, Pearl Street, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. In December, 1852, he was transferred by Bishop Waugh to the Oregon Confer ence, and the following Summer crossed the plains with an ox team, reaching Portland October 3, 1853, to which charge he had been appointed by Bishop Ames at the first session of the Oregon Annual Conference. As presiding elder, he had charge of all the State of Washington, nearly all of Oregon and Idaho, and his travels over them made him more widely known personally, without doubt, than any other minister of the Pacific Northwest, He represented the Thirteenth General Conference District In the general mis sionary and church-extension committees of the Methodist Episcopal church from 1876 to 1SS0, and on the resignation of J. H. Wilbur from the same committees in 1SS6 he was elected by the Board of Bish ops to succeed him, thus making six years' service therein. Dr. Hlnes was also quite active in po litical life. During the days of the se cession he was one of the stanch sup porters of the Union, and delivered the first political speech coming from any minister on the Coast. He was president of the Territorial Council of Washing ton, and a member of the Legislature during the sessions of 1S64 and 1866. In 1876 he was a Republican delegate to the National convention at Cincinnati, which nominated R. B. Hayes for President. In 3878 he was Republican candidate for Congress from this state. Dr. Hlnes was married atiWyoming. N. Y., in 1852 to Miss Elizabeth J. Graves. She was an able helper in all missionary work, and by her personal effort and en thusiasm organized the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union of Oregon, of which she was first president. She was well and favorably known throughout trie state for her many deeds of kindness and charity. She died in January, 1889, leav ing a bereaved husband and two children. James A. and Lua A. The latter Is now the wife of C. K. Cranston. As a trustee he had a close connection with the Willamette University since he came to the state, and during 1890 and 1891 was professor of theology In that In stitution. In May, 1892, he was a dele gate from the Idaho conference to the general conference of the Methodist Epis copal church at Omaha. He wis a mem ber of the Sons of the American Revolu tion, and was past high priest of the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Dr. Hines was also professor of the theological department of the Portland University. His yeirs of faithful work have been of great service and have been marked by ability, industry, constancy and efficiency. His capacity for hard work In both study and field supplement ed his ability in the pulpit, and the prom ise of his early years was fulfilled. The wide field covered by his labors and the variety of the work to which he had been called, enabled him to an xtent given to but few to Impress himself far good on the civil and ecclesiastical affairs of the Empire of the Northwest.
