Taylor-street Methodist Episcopal Church Hill today crlrbrate the 60th anniversary of Its founding by a pro Kramme of special services, which will commence at 9:30 o'clock this mornlnff and continue until late tonight. Uvery branch of the church will bA repre sented, and the historical feature of trie organization will be prominent throughout. Ir. Benjamin Young, present pastor of the church, will have charge, and at 10:30 A. -M-. Bishop Charles W. Smith will preach Ills first sermoa to a congregation In the North west. having Just arrived to take charge as resident general superin tendent. Indications are that the church -will be filled to overflowing at all of the services, hut special attention and care will be given to the old pioneer work ers of the organization, several of whom are living and will be In attend ance. All of the former officers of each department, the Sunday school, class meeting. Epworth League and all, are expected to be on hand to partici pate. All who attend the Sunday school will be presented .with a me dallion souvenir, gotten out for the oc casion by Superintendent A. -King Wil son. Pioneer Members to Attend. It will be a great day for those who have been pioneers in the church, among whom are Captain and Mrs. V. S. Powell. Mrs. A. C. Gibbs. Martha J. Patton. Mrs. M. A. Smith, S. A. Stans bury. K. S. Aiken. Lot Taylor and John Cullen. The latter was present at the first Sunday school meeting ever held In the church, and was then 10 years old. He is In excellent health and lives In a tent on some acreage near Hills dale. He Is able to do hard work and said yesterday that he never felt bet ter in his life. It Is pretty certain that he will not permit the Inclement weather to keep him from the celebra tion at Taylor-atreet Church today, even though he may have to walk to town. "I tell you there has been a great change since that day in 1848 when Julia Carter called a lot of us young sters together and organized us into a Sunday school." said Mr. Cullen yes terday. "Why. it was so far out into the woods then that we children were afraid to go out there except In a crowd, although there used to be fine fishing poles there, and we wanted to go there often to cut pohs. After a while. Miss Carter married J. S. Smith, later a member of Congress. Among those who were present on that first Sunday school occasion and who are still alive were Mrs. John Keenan, Charles ParrUh. James King. Henry Hill. Helen Hill, now Sirs. Captain Powell; Adam McNamee. John Apper son. Alvira Apperson-F'ellows. Char lotte Trrwilliger. Kd Ross. Linas Koss. Emma Ross-Slavln, Hiram. Terwilliger, I Sarah Marker and Caroline Polk-Well-man.". . . "Father" Wilbur, first pastor of the old church, was the ideal minister. In the opinion of Mr. Cullen. who de clares that everything Wilbur jut his hand to prospered. It was Wilbur who undertook the then great task of build ing the first church edifice, which was a very plain affair, about 30 by 50 feet in dimensions, with a very noticeable square steeple. "I can well remember." says Mrs. Powell, "of seeing Father' Wilbur at work when he was putting up the old building. Many a time I have seen him grubbing out the stumps, which were plentiful in that vicinity in those days." Influence Is Wide. The church, throughout its long his tory, has had a large membership. Its influence has extended all over the country, as, year by year, members have moved to other places, so that there is scarcely a town of any im portance where one cannot find at least one Methodist who at some time made Taylor-street a church home. "Father" John Flynn. the oldest liv ing Methodist preacher in the North west, will be a prominent figure at the services. He preached one of the first sermons in the old building, and has a store of personal recollections about the organisation of the church and of the early times that Is remarkable. At :30 o'clock, the Epworth League meeting will be in charge of C. E. Wagner, the chapter president, and all of the former presidents, vice-presidents and other cabinet officers who can be present will participate. This will be followed by the evening serv ice, when W. r. J en ton and T. S. Mc Ijanlel will deliver addresses of an his torical nature. Mr. Fenton's paper will cover the history of Methodism in the Northwest. At the morning and evening services Professor W. H. Boyer will have charge of the music, and there will be a chorus of 60. voices one voice to represent each year of the life of the church. DESIRES STATE LAW USED fcugjceMs Simple Itemed)- for Women in saloon Evil. PORTLAND. Or.. lec. 11. (To the Editor.) A I find a misquotation In the daily paper of Thursday as re gards the remarks made at the insti tute held at the l.'nited Brethren Church, will you kindly grant space for a correction, and for a report of just what was said: There was no statement made what ever that there existed a law to bar all "Women out of saloons. There was a resolution submitted by the resolu tion committee which read as follows: Resolved. We have watched with interest the action of the ntv Council of Portland ms regard the question of "women In Mlooni," and we respectfully call attention to an existing law. known as Senate bill L'rtT. which reads as follows: "Any person permitting a female under "1 years of see to remain In or about a )laee where liquor is sold, or selling or giv ing liquor to auch female, la subject to a fine of $100 to JIOOO: provided, that this act shall not apply to a female accompanied by husband or parent, or to any open pub lic restaurant or dining-room." Approved Februarv 21. 1!m.Y We urge that this law be rigidly enforced. 'After this resolution was read a few remarks were made. Flat ing that it was It"-" :t;-j . r...,ys .s ; i n ilaa the belief of the speaker that If the curfew law and this age-limit law could be rigidly enforced, that 11 would go a long way toward solving the ques tion the City Council was struggling with, and that it ought to be enforced. There was not a word said as to the law forbidding all women from the saloons. To any one who lias worked along pur ity lilies, either In direct rescue work or Dreventive work, this assertion will appeal as containing a most lamentable truth. It is me young, attractive gin that is beins carried dwn to perdition through the bacK doors rf saloons. And anv thinking: norson can ecs-ily see that If these young girls could be kept off of the streets night?, and never allowed in side nf a tilaci of such dr.naer and evil. the "woman-in-the-saloon' question would be reduced most perceptibly. 1 nis was all that was said on the subject at the meeting: there was no address made concernng it: It did ask that existing laws te e:itorced. Was that right or wrons? I. H. ADD1TON. CROSSED PLAINS IN 1852 I III sf-.i-i I ill ' " Mrs. George T. Frost Passes Away in Linn County Home. Mns. George T. Frost, who died at her home near Scio.

(To the Ed itorsApropos of the controversy be tween the physicians, especially what has appeared In The Oregonian concerning Dr. Panton and Dr. Joseph!, the public would probable concern itself but little. If at all. except that the average person has a sense of fairness in his maae-up. and It this senoe of fairness that prompts thi communication. In the controversy. Dr. Panton inti mates Jhat a medical school is not neces sary in Oregon, and Dr. Joseplil rather hints that perhaps Oregon could get along without a medical examining board, and quite likely both are right in that matter. But both seem to forget the party most really interested the medical student. It will be remembered that for the Iaet two or three years a large percentage of the graduates of the Medical Department of the University of Oregon has been re fused a license to practice medicine in Oregon, by the Board of Medical Exam iners. These young men and women pre sumably attended the prescribed course of lectures, hospital clinics, dissections, etc.. and paseed creditable examinations, before graduation, as attested by their diplomas. Now it seems to me these young grad uates have been greatly wronged, either by the examining board or by the uni versity. If they were not up to the ac cepted standard of knowledge, both lit erary and medical, they should not have been graduated. They were wronged by being allowed to pass, and if they pos sessed the requisite knowledge and qual ification for beginners in the practice of medicine according to the accepted American standard, they were certainly wronged by being refused license. Aside from the wrong done the young physicians. It does not redound greatly to the credit of the state of Oregon to have one of her principal schools dis credited by one of her principal boards, and I think it is high time that thia mat ter should be properly adjusted. Somebody is at fault. There have been lately too many failures among the re cent graduates of our state medical school. For the etate to set one standard for its medical school and another stand ard for its medical examining board, both standards supposed to measure the qualifications of medical practitioners, is wrong and should be righted. For a student to spend four years' time and perhaps $2000 in money to obtain the degree of M. D. and only to find it an empty title, is an injustice. It is not the purpose of this communi cation to say who is at fault, in this mat ter, or suggest a remedy at this time, further than to repeat that It is unfair and unjust to the young men or women to be told by the faculty of the Medical Department of the State University that they.' the graduates, are well and duly qualified to enter upon the practice of their profession, and then the next week to be told by the State Medical Board that they are not so qualified! The state cannot afford to tolerate such conditions. S. C. COOK. TALK TO SEATTLE 40c.
