TWO COUNTIES LACKING
Baker Man So Far 33 Votes Ahead
of Portland Resident as Repub
lican Delegate Radderly
Leading Stevenson.
Complete returns from all but two
counties on the vote for delegates to
the Republican and Democratic Na
tional conventions show that Phil
Met.schan. of Portland, has been de
feated for election as a Republican
delegate by A. V. Swift, of Baker. The
vote now stands: Metschan z.ij'i. .wui
;.",53. This gives Swift a lead of 33
votes. Unofficial advices from Harney
County gives Metschan 19 votes, with
nono reported for Swift. Unless Lake
County, which is the only remaining,
county not reporting, gives Metschan
more than enough to offset this dif
ference of 14 votes. It Is probable that
the Portland man will not be a mem
ber of the delegation. Mr. Metschan
Is an earnest supporter of President
Taft and says that he would rather not
be a delegate than be required to vote
for Roosevelt.
The Republican delegates who have
surely been elected are: Charles W.
Ackerson of Multnomah. Daniel Boyd
of Wallowa. Fred S. Bynon of Marlon.
Homer C. Campbell of Multnomah,
Charles H. Carey of Multnomah, Henry
Waldo Coe of Multnomah. D. D. Hall of

FIRST CHURCH SERVICES IN PORTLAND
WAS BROKEN UP BY A HERD OF PIGS
Under Floor of Little. Buildinjf on Taylor Street, They Started Squealing aa Father Wilbur Started to Preach,
and He Finally Had to Quit.
IF AN TONE were to remark that a
herd of pigs once put an end to a
sermon In Portland, most people
would receive the story with disdain
or suggest to the reciter that a little
salt would be required to facilitate the
swallowing of the yarn.
Yet that Is what actually happened
during the first service ever held in
this city. The story Is told by Rev.
John Flynn. who participated in the
service.
Mr. Flynn. who had a little party
only the other day to celebrate his 95th
birthday, came to Portland in 1850. ar
riving late one 6aturday night. Next
morning he went down to a little build
ing on Taylor street that served as
echool house and meeting place. After
the opening prayers. Father Wilbur,
one of the pioneer missionaries In Port
land, preached the first sermon, or
rather commenced It. for the middle of
Ms peroration he was disturbed by
noises coming from under the floor.
Herd ef Plets I ader Floor.
Cortlnuanre waa Impossible. Inves
tigation showed that a herd of pigs
were using the space beneath the floor
as a sty. Hence the uproar. Such was
the commencement of the spread of
the gospel In Portland.
In that .ame year the first real
church building was erected by the
Methodists on Taylor street, between
Second and Third streets. The church
wan b.illt of wood, faced north, with a
frontage of 25 feet and a depth of SO
feet. Some ten years later the Increase
In the congregation necessitated an ex
tension or removal to larger quarters,
so two wings were added at the rear.
Sufficient room waa thus obtained
for the next few years, but in 1S67 the
ground was cleared on the northeast
part of the block and the old wooden
building moved there. Finally this was
torn down to make way for a five
story building. Stores, small shops and
a printing office now occupy the orig
inal site, while the imposing structure
at the southeast corner of Third and
Taylor streets is the home of the First
Methodist today.
CoBgresatloBallat .Next to Build.
The second church erected was the
First Congregational, on the northwest
corner of Second and Jefferson, which
was dedicated in June, 1851. This waa
soon moved to First and Jefferson and
a new building went up on the original
site, which was occupied till 1895 as a
church. Afterward Ita place was taken
by the church at Park and Madison.
The old church was used as a carpen
ter shop and a billiard room, till it was
destroyed by fire August 2. 1S73, and
j the old location Is now occupied by
Anderson s livery stable.
The next to build were the Cath
olics. As a result of the energy and
Inspiring work of the Rev. James
Croke. he and his followers purchased
half a block from Captain -J. II. Couch,
at Fifth and Couch streets, and building
was commenced in the Fall of 1S51.
Until the completion of the work,
services were held lna private resi
dence. The church served for three
years, then giving way to the wooden
building at Third and Stark, which in
its ;urn was replaced in the '90s by
the present quarters at Fifteenth and
Davis. It was only seven years ago
that the property at Third and Stark
passed out of the hands of the church.
Modern Buildings on Church Sites.
The Episcopalians built about 1S54
on the site of the Police Court. The
city paid JS000 to the church for the
ground.- With this money the church
bought property at Sixth and Oak,
which was their home for many years,
until the ground was sold, half being
bought by Russell & Blythe for 132,
000, tr provide funds for the present
edifice at Twentieth and Everett
street.
Where the Honeyman Hardware Com
pany now Is originally stood the first
Baptist church, and the Spalding build
ing took the place of the First Presby
terian church, which sold its property
.April 1. 18S. for JfiS.OOO. building its
present quarters at Twelfth and Alder
streets In 1S90 at a cost of 200.000.
Such Is the story of a few of the
early churches as obtained through the
kindness of George H. llimrs. of the
Oregon Historical Society. Today Port,
land is probably as well endowed with
churches as any city in America, for
there are at least 20.
the club, Dan Kellaher has telegraphed
Roosevelt as follows:
"The citizens of Oregon and the Pa
cific Coast would delight to, have you
and vours with us at our Rose Festival
