THE SD2TDAY 0REG01JTAN, PORTLA2TC), FEBRUARY 21 190 11 HOME FOR THE FIREBOAT PROPERTY AT FOOT OF HAN COCK STREET OFFERED FOR IT. Northwest Door Company Sends Let ter to Mayor Tendering" Location Which Is Large Enough. The orphan fireboat has been offered a home by the Northwest Door Company, which is tviuing to give to the city the use of property adjoining their plant at the foot of -Hancock street, as a berth for the George H. "Williams. Samuel Connell, president and manager of the Northwest Door Company, sent a communication to Mayor Williams yester day afternoon tendering the location. As the Mayor was absent from his office at tending the policemen's review during the afternoon, the communication was not re ceived by him until late in the evening. What he thought of the offer could not therefore be ascertained. The property offered by the Northwest Door Company Is 49x120 feet. All that will be necessary to put it into shape for the use of the flreboat is to pull out a few bunches of piling, at little cost. Then a slip may be built, which would amply accommodate the flreboat. To be sure, the George H. Williams is 25 feet wide and 314 feet long, but apparently a slip could be built upon the ground suggested, which would allow the fireboat to back in and out without danger. There would also be plenty of room for the erection of a house for the firemen and hose cart. Lower Albina is In need of better fire protection, so Its residents have frequently stated, and property-owners in that vicinity will doubtless pull tor the establishment of a hose company, which would be a part of the fireboat's equip ment. Mr. Connell was asked last evening as to the offer he had made. "It would be a good place for the flre boat," said he. "The location of the Al bina ferry close by would allow the hose cart to follow the fireboat to a West Side fire almost as rapidly as if- it was sta tioned at East Washington street, if not faster. After all. the greatest need for the flreboat Is In thelower part of the "o&t&or, for the fire engines can reach the wharves near the business portion of the cltybyt cannot get to a fire on a dock or mill farther down the river nearly as rapidly. There are many docks and mills near this location which would be bene fited." Up to the present time property-owners have united in protesting against the plac ing of the lifeboat near their property. No matter where the flreboat committee looked there came a remonstrance. The George H. Williams will be launched next Saturday, If present plans are carried out The machinery will then be placed, and in a few weeks it will be ready for business. Both the Mayor and the fire boat commltte of the Executive Board have grown somewhat wearied of the un buccessful search for a berth for the city's floating fire engine, and Mr. Connell'a offer may come as a welcome solution. East Washington street seemed to be the only feasible position until yesterday. As usual the property-owners were pre paring to protest, but Mayor Williams had declared that if necessary the fight would be carried into the courts so that his namesake might have a home. WATER BOARD IS AGREEABLE. Will Place Hydrants Upon the Larg er Water Mains. That the Water Board will accede to the rcquest-iT the Council and place hydrants JVOhn "iherger water mains, at the same time agreeing- to pay for alj new hydrants out of the Vfater fund. Is now practically admitted. .Members of the fire committee of the JJiecutlvc Board have been given asurrce by members of the Wator Board that thfs will be done without the Council passing an ordinance forcing the Water Board to do so. Owing to the better facilities of the Water Board for placing hydrants, the work can be done considerably cheaper than by the Fire Department This fact has been brought most forcibly to the at tention of the Water Board. As the water fund is a part of the city's finances, and a Bwlng fo the city was apparent, the Water Board could do nothing but ac cede. Following the request of the Council. Superintendent Frank T. Dodge, of the Water Board, has filed with the Executive oard the Information concerning the large mains asked for. It is also a state ment showlns the reasons for the reluc tance of the Water Board to tap the larger mains for hydrants. Maps explain ing the routes of the water mains through out the city are inclosed. Oouncllmen had raised questions soon after the Park School fire, when water was scarce, .though large mains untapped by hydrants flowed past the burning build ing. The cause of this is given by Super intendent Dodge in the communication, which in substance Is as follows: AH the water used on the west side of the river flows from the 32-Inch pipe Into the tank of the upper reservoir at the City Park. This tank is 300 feet above the base of city grades. From it an 13 lnch pipe conveys the water used in the elevated district of the city, all above 100 feet From this tank another pipe con veys all water used in that portion of the city under 100 feet above city. grade. This water starts from the lower reservoir, the reduction in the head of - the water being necessary to cut down the tremen dous pressure. This is what is called the high and low-pressure services. The large mains in the business part of the city are described in detail. As to the Park School neighborhood the state ment is as follows: There are on two sides of the Park School blo.k four water mains, as follows: On Tc.th street a 20-insh and a six-inch main, conveying wator to the lower district and on Jefferson street a 24-inch main for the lew district and a 12-inch mala for the h'gh district. The elevation at the school is 1T4 feet above base of grades, conse quently the head of water on live 12-Inch main is 176 feet, and on the others 10$ fret The only hydrant which the Fire Depart r mcnt ever asked to have connected to any of the mains near the school te the one at the southwest corner of the school block. It Is connected to the 12-inch main, and that main Is capable of supplying four stx ir.rh pipes. DIFFICULT IMPROVEMENTS. East 03k-Street Assessment. Is Badly Mixed Question. The awieoament for the Improvement of Fast Oak street, between East Third and J ast Twelfth Mreets. will go down in the 1 istory of Portland as dne of the most m'x.xJ-up pieces of municipal work ever vr.lertaken. To mention Enet Oak street a y where about the City Hifol makes one unpopular. For months that name has ton a bugaboo, and no one Ukes to hdr it A week aso it looked a though a new a sessment would be made following the i-rommend&tlon of the street committee c, the Council. But the City Attornev d c -d before the Council meeting Wednes that this would be legally impoe s t . so the matter was disposed of tem I -arlly at least, by the Council no; c ; tlng the recommendation of the eora xn.ttee. So the assessment will haw to sfi'.d If. as is declared, some property, cwxiers will be levied upon so heavily as f cause connscatlon of their property t e general fund, which is poor enough cs it is. will probably be called upon to F-rply the deficit Property adjoining the elevated road wry across the Hawthorne Gulch was assessed less in some Instances than gr-unl lying six blocks away near the l.rr.it of the assessment district This nat irnll raised complaints, but It has been explained by the assessment clerks that such property had already paid higher as sessments than more distant property, which, in this case, was taxed much higher. So it Is hoped that the matter will adjust Itself in the course of time, and all be peaceable in the end. But the Councilmen have unofficially promised re lief when absolutely, necessary to save property, and they mean it City Hail Will Be Closed. The City Hall will be closed tomorrow Jn honor of Washington's birthday. Not even visitors will -be allowed in the museum, for a big "closed" sign will adorn each doorway. WAE ON POOLROOM GOES ON. Madison Business Men Denounce Po lice for Defending Gamblers. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20. A meeting was held today by the Business Men's Improvement League, of Madison. I1L, and it was de cided to continue the war on the poolroom. Resolutions condemning the action of the police in defending and assisting the pool room gamblers and "provoking hostilities" were adopted. A decision was reached to lay the entire matter before the Grand Jury and also to take it up directly with the Attorney-General of Illinois, with the purpose of putting a stop in a legal way to the official connivance under which the poolroom has been run. None of the six men wounded will die from his wounds. It is thought The po- WELCOME CHURCH UNION LOCAL PRESBYTERIANS HOPE FOR ADOPTION OF PLAN. Cumberland Branch, Which Seceded In 1810, May Be Received Again In the Fold. Tho agreement adopted as a. basis of union by the committee on church co operation and union of the Presbyterian churches of the United States, and the committee on fraternity and union of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, at a meeting In St Louis on February 19, Is heartily welcomed by all Presbyterians, for the union of these two branches will result In making the Presbyterian Church National In character with a membership approximating 1.250.000. The union of the two churches has long been discussed In Presbyterian circles, and there are few who will not be glad to see the action of these committees ratified at the general assemblies in May. When the Cumberland members merge with the Presbyterian Church proper, it will only be a return to the fold, of which they were years ago a part The history of the Cumberland Church Is an Interesting one. It Is an offshoot of the original church, and "seceded" in 1810 or earlier. 4 revlal held in 18O0 in the Cumberland Valley, Tennessee, during LIVED IN THREE CENTURIES Mrs. TSHza Voorhels, woo died re cently at LanRston.

The pic turo of Mrs. Voorhels given above was taken on her 100th birthday, at which time ihe received calls and gave her autograph to many friends. She was born In 1SO0, the last year of the 18th century, and lived to see the first three years of the 20th century go by. She was remarkably active until the tune of her demise. Her brother, G. L. Hun, is now 80. and their mother, who died" In 1SS3, bad reached the age of 102. An aunt who died many years ago was IDS years oW. Mrs. Eliza Voorheht lice began today to disarm all members of the posse whom they could find. It was stated by members of the posse that the police were even entering the houses of the posse members and conducting their search for arms there. It Is declared that If necessary the cit izens would find the means to arm them selves again. Victor Schuler and eleven men asso ciated with him in the poolroom arrived at Madison this afternoon and went at once to the office of Police Magistrate Gibbf. where they gave bond in the sum of 1500 each for their appearance, Feb ruary 23, for a preliminary hearing on warrants Issued February 1. on affidavits of Chief of Police McCambridge, charg ing them with maintaining a gambling house. The fact that the warrants were Issued 10 days ago and that no apparent effort had been made to serve them caused comment ALTOGETHER TOO MANY New Homes to Be Found for a Hun dred cr More Worthy Candidates. On another page of this paper there will be found an advertisement of one of the most remarkable piano sales ever held In this country. During the phenomenal bus iness done by Eilers Piano House the post two months, an Immense number of used pianos have been taken in part payment for new Instruments. The number on hand keeps Increasing daily. Rather than store them, it has been decided to make extra inducements to buyers to take them off our hands at once, and ridiculously low prices have been placed on them all. There are also some fine old squares of the most famous makes, whose beautiful tones be tray the excellence of their construction and the material of which they are made. Scores of uprights, many of them good as new, are being added to daily.' Every instrument, as soon as it has been care fully inspected and renovated. Is placed on sale, which makes things exceedingly lively, as buyers are all the time on the lookout for the biggest bargain It may be of Interest to some to learn that there still remain a few vacancies in the popular piano clubs.

James McGready's very pointed discourses created grave dissen sion In the Transyhanla Presbytery, of which the Cumberlands were then mem bers, was the origin of what proved to be a disunion movement The Presbytery was divided into two classes, the re vivalists and the antl-revlvallsts. The re vivalists were the cause of the separation from the mother church. holding distinctive views. The mother church insisted upon ordained ministers be ing theological students, or at least educated men well versed In the study of the Bible and able to undergo examinations, but the Cumberland faction Insisted upon ordaining any one who could preach. The synod In 1SCC suspended some of the members of the Cumberland Presbytery for refusing to submit Its young men for re-examination. In 1810 1 independent Presbytery was formed to h'ch the hame of Cumberland" was given, and at its first meeting the confession and discipline of the Presbyterian Church was adopted with the exception of the Idea of fatality, and provisions were made as to the scholarship of licentiates. The doc trine of tho Cumberlands has the follow ing points of dissent fro'm the Wostm'n stcr Confession: 1 Christ died not for a part only, but for all mankind. 2 That there are no eternal reprobates. 3 That ail Infants dying in infancy are saved through Christ and the sanctlflcatlon of tho spirit 4 That the spirit of God operates on the world, or as co-extenslve ly as Christ has made the atonement in such a manner as to leave all men in excusable. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church has grown and flourished, and in addition to being well organized has many famous institutions of learning, the Law School of the Cumberland University at Lebanon. Tenn., being considered the best In the South. If the union of the two churches Is effected when the assemblies meet In 2IS7. It will be upon the doctrinal basis of the confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America as revised In 1938. and of its other doc trinal and ecclesiastical standards.
