WITH imposing ritual, music and
addresses, the 25th anniversar
or the dedication of Temple
Beth Israel. Twelfth and Main streets,
was celebrated last Friday night and
was quite a history-making event In
religious circles. To those who took
part in it. especially family parties, It
was a most impressive occasion.
It is interesting to learn from his
torical records that the flrst meeting
to. organize a Jewish congregation,
which resulted in the Temple Beth
Israel, of this city, took place May 2,
1858, in the National Hotel. Portland,
when a group of Israelites gathered in
response to a call for a meeting.
Elsht at First Meeting.
They then and there resolved to or
ganize "a congregation for the worship
of the one only everlasting God, accord
ing to the ancient ritual of the Jewish
faith." Eight men attended this meeting,
their names being M. Mansfield. Jacob
Mayer, Samuel Levy, David Simon, L.
Cahn, 1 M. Lyon, L. Cohn and B. Si
mon. It was resolved to call a second
meeting on the following Sunday for
the' purpose of adopting a constitution
and electing officers. In addition to
the above-named men. H. F. Bloch,
Leopold Mayer, Abraham Frank and I.
Michelop attended the second meeting.
Temporary by-laws having been adopt
ed, the following officers were chosen:
President. Leopold Mayer; vice-president,
M. Mansfield; secretary, B. Simon;
treasurer. Abraham Frank; trustees,
Jacob Mayer, H. F. Bloch, Samuel Levy
,and S. M. Lyon.
Permanent by-laws were adopted
June IS and the congregational roll was
completed for the charter by the addi
tion, of S, Elumauex, A Marks, f, frauit-

enstein, Abraham Meissenbeck, Joseph
Bergman, A. Loeb and S. Steinheiser.
The name "Beth Israel" was adopted
and divine services began in Burke's
Hall. Thus modestly, with 19 mem
bers, meeting in a rented hall, was
founded the first congregation of Israel
in the Pacific Northwest. The ritual
was orthodox and the sound of the
Shofar, proclaiming that here in the
vast and distant wilderness a band of
Israelites had established an outpost,
rang out on the Rosh Hashana of 18S8.
The congregation grew steadily In
numbers and in 1861 the first syna
gogue was built on a lot 100x100 at
Fifth and Oak streets. An additional
piece of property at Sixth and Oak
streets was purchased and a school
building erected thereon. This In
scription is to be found under the cor
nerstone of the first synagogue built
in this city:
Having no minister nor constitution or
by-laws yet printed, we herein give a short
sketch of this congregation from the date of
organization to the present day. In the
Jewish year 0618 corresponding with the
year 1508 a meeting was called by the Israel
ites of Portland for the purpose of organ
izing a congregation. It was successfully
organized and the name thereof determined
"Congregation Beth Israel." The members
numbered 12. The officers, elected for the
term of one year, were: Leopold Mayer,
president; Meyer Mansfield, vice-president;
Abraham Frank, treasurer; Bernard Simon,
secretary: trustee Henry F. Bloch, S. M.
Lyon, Jacob Mayer, Sam G. Levy; mem
bers David Simon, Lazarus Cohn, Leon
Cahn, I. Michelop.
Building la Leased.
A building was temporarily leased for the
purpose of holding divine service (wherein
It is still) - -
In the year 5619. corresponding with the
year 1S59, the congregation purchased a
piece of ground 100 feet square for the pur
pose of erecting a synagogue thereon at soon
aa their funds would permit them to do so.
?ha joliowlas xm il6Q)m the Jom
bers had increased to 22 and the annual
election of officers resulted as follows:
Henry F. Bloch, president; Meyer Mans
field, vice-president; Solomon Steinheiser,
secretary: Jacob H. Seller, treasurer: trus
tees S. Blumauer, Abraham Frank, William
nimhutm TAjiarui Cohn.
In 5621 (1861) the annual election was
held with the following result:
M. Mansfield, president; S. Blumauer,
vice-president: Benjamin L. Norden, sec re.
tary: Jacob H. Seller, treasurer; trustees
Henry F. Bloch, Charles A. Haas, S. M.
Lyon. A. Sutro.
The following is a list of the present mem
bers: Leon Cahn. Leon Mayer, S. Baum. S. Berry,
Lazarus Cohn, I. Cohn, A. Frank. Philip
Cohen. James Levy, M. Loeb. I. Kallm's, J.
Bergman, M. Blrnbaum, M. Zeidner.
The present prospect of our congregation
is flattering, for by the time of the com
pletion of the synagogue we are in the
hopes of the arrival of a minister among
us, which with other encouraging influences
we sincerely hope will soon enable us to
conform with the rites and ceremonials of
our holy faith, with credit to ourselves, as
also to the cause of Judaism.

Building Soon Outgrown.
It Is noticed that the I. M. Wise
mentioned toward the close of the last
paragraph was . the father of Rabbi
Jonah B. Wise.
The growth of the frontier town Into
a cltjr sattrippe4 .tb capacity, pt the
small synagogue, for the congrega
tion kept pace with th town. In May,
1887, the quarter block on Sixth and
Oak was sold and an active campaign
for a new building commenced. The
results were such that plana were or
dered drawn and construction com
menced. Due to the energy of the of
ficers and Rabbi Jacob Bloch the funds
were assured and June 2, 1889, the
building was dedicated. It stands now
substantially as built, a few minor
changes not having materially al
tered it.
During the time that Congregation
Beth Israel has worshipped In Its pres
ent synagogue. It has been served by
three rabbis. Rabbi Jacob Bloch, after
a long and faithful service, retired
from active service In the year 1900.
His work had been that of a reformer,
paralleling the efforts of practically all
the pioneer teachers who guided the
transition of the various early congre
gations from orthodoxy to reform. Dur
ing his incumbency the temple was
i , v. i.nncrrpntlnn developed
with the city, from a small body to a
Tnotrnnnlitan organization. The lay
men of the congregation, with true
Jewish devotion to its cause, conu-m-uted
mightily of their time and energy
to the success of the work. The ef
forts of rabbi and officers, as well as
members, resulted In these earlier

Three Rabbis Serve.
trnnn tho retirement of Rabbi Blach,
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York,
was called to the pulpit, and served
until his resignation, in 1906, to begin
his work with the Free Synagogue in
New York City. Congregation Beth
Israel grew with steady and healthy
growth In numbers and effectiveness

pulpit, was the first American-born
rabbi called to its service. He is the
incumbent. During the term of Rabbi
Jonah B. Wise the cangregation affili

Two Presidents Pass.
Two of the men who presided over
the congregational activities as presi
dent have gone to their great reward.
Sigmund Blumauer and Solomon Hirsch
were types of Jewish manhood that
stood out strikingly in the community.
To their efforts and through their
eminence as factors in the commercial
and civic life of the community the
congregation received a species of
service which has graven their names
Indelibly upon the temple's- records.
Their successors, Adolphe Wolfe and
Sigmund Sichel, assumed the task
which they laid down, and carried on the
work with the same zeal and success.
The former brought to the service of
the temple a name associated with
fine success personally, and highly re
spected among his fellow citizens. The
latter, the present president, has served
the Jewish community in its charitable
and social service for many years, and
has been a distinguished participant in
the public life of Oregon.

Employment of All Kinds at Odd Hours Give Returns.
STUDENTS of Lincoln, jenerbon
and Washington High schools and
of the Portland School of Trades
have earned an average annual sum of
J 182.60 each for the last four years,
aInpiiino- in An t i mnt c based on a
census which has just been completed
in the four schools.
a, Tcff.pBnn where a more thorough
canvass was made by Principal Jen
kins, it was learned that girl students
have earned an average sum for the
last four years during out-of-school
hours and vacations of 264 each. Of
the 71 girls and 33 boys who grad
uated from Jefferson, the census shows
that 29 girls and 29 boys engaged In
profitable work out of school hours
and during vacations, while many oth
ers reported they assisted their par
ents. The census-takers estimated that pu
n. n-r th. thrA hleh schools and of
the trade school earn annually nearly
(20,000, or about jsu.uvu aunng mo

The most brofltable occupation, how
ever, was found to be that of deliver
ing newspapers on city routes. The
statistics show that this occupation has
furnished employment to a large num
ber of pupils and has paid from $160
to 1450 for the four years wora, wnn
the advantage of not Interfering with
studies.
Several girls of the 191 graduating
classes are dependent upon themselves
for support. By working tor room and
board out of school hours they suc
ceeded In securing a high school edu

or all. of their expenses during the
four years by dressmaking or by tak
ing In plain sewing. One girl has made
four fur casts since February, the sale
of which netted her expenses for six
months.
Teaching music, both vocal and piano,
furnished employment for several
girls. One girl student performed in
a suburban motion-picture theater.
JACKSON COUNTY BOY WINS PRIZE IN STATE INDUSTRIAL
CONTEST.
FRANCIS WIX, HIS PRIZE AU PRIIKLCTS.
At the last State Industrial Contest. Francis Winn, a Jackson
County boy, won high honors for growing corn, and as a reward
was presented with a prize pig. Now he is the proud possessor, not
only of the big prize animal, but of 10 little pigs as well.
These industrial contests are said by the state educators and rep
resentatives of the Agricultural College to promote Interest In
farming, to encourage systematic research into the best methods of
farming and to create a general awakening In the rural districts.
L. P. Harrington says: "We hope for some splendid results In edu--cating
the boys of the country and making them take an interest In
