Rev. C C Poling-, presiding elder, sub
mitted his annual report, giving resume of
work accomplished. Two new churches
ware erected during the year, one at
Eugene and one at Wichita near Port
Ian. A new parsonage la being built for
First Church at Portland. Rev. Mr.
Poling warned the church against the
Inroads popular amusements were
making In tha church, and In closing
said:
"The establishment of the nickel
theater, called the movtng-plctura show,
is attracting our boys and girls, ap
pealing to tha romantic, fanciful and
sensual, even in the child. Thus they
are being educated, tha boys and girls of
eur homes) and tha church, for tha light,
trashy stag performance and literature
of the day. It ta my candid opinion that
the cheap nickelodeon la a greater evil
than the regular theater. It creates a
taste for the performance of the slate.
The tendency of It all la downward and
not upward. I believe It a curse and not
a, blessing. It as Dot eatlaned with six
-dTS. but Is taking the I word's day
whereon It la allowed and becomea a
competitor -of the church."
The conference Indorsed the programme
for enlargement of Dallas College as
recommended by the committee on edu
cation. Kev. A. A. Winter, acting presi
dent, was appointed financial agent tor
the coll'ce. All members or the church
were urged to send students to Dallas

A fold-mounted ebony cane, encased
In a chamois skin covering; and in al
most as good condition aa when pre-
aented to Amory Holbrook more than
ij yeara ago. waa found by workmen
employed by John A. Melton when re
moving- some shelving in the old Flan-
era Couch building at t Front
treat last Friday. The chamois eov-
rlng fell from the heirloom In little
bits, but the ebony still retained Ita

hands of the engraver.
Not only Is the mounting artistic bat

udged from the present standards of
ngravers skill. The Inscription giv
ing the facts of the presentation of
the cane to the late Mr. Holbrook
reads:

by Multnomah Lodge No. 1. A. F. Of A.
of Oregon City, aa a token of fra
ternal regard and thanks for his vln-
ratlon of Free Masonry, Deo. 17.
aS3S."
The Inscription recalls an Interesting
bit of early history In Portland. Ac
cording to George IL Hlmee. aecretary
of the State Historical Society, a Con-
regatlonal minister had attacked Free
Masonry from the pulpit and the bitter
references coming from such a source
created considerable Ul feeling in the
city.
At that time Mr. Holbrook was
connected with the editorial depart
ment of The Oreronlan. Members of
the Masonic Lodge importuned Mr.
Holbrook to answer the attack In the
editorial columns. He hsndled the
subject so effectively that his utter
ances put a stop to public attacks on
Masonry. In appreciation of his ser
vices, the Oregon City lodge presented
him with the cane.
The date of the presentation, given
as December ST, BS5S, as engraved on
the mounting. Is explained by Masons
to Indicate that the number "oSSS" re
fers to A. D. 1858.
Mr. Melton, who la now owner of the
cane by right a discovery, regarda
the heirloom as of great value, but as
he feels that the public will be Inter
ested In the cane, he has decided to
turn It over to the Oregon Historical
Society. It will be presented to Secre
tary Hlmea for safe keeping and will
be placed among the valuable posses
sions of the society tomorrow.
