8 TIIE SUXDAY OREGOXTAX, PORTIiAND, SEPTEMBER ?G, 1913. I HAND AT MEETING The New 32 -FOUR LTay lor-Street Methodists Suc- ceed in Electing Four Del-'--it egafes to Saratoga. MEN FRIENDLY TO BISHOP INSURGENTS SHOW Representative of Soutlicrn Church llirlngs Gretlngs, "Which Are Re- turned in Kind and Reunion I .' of Branches Is Piscussed. ' ItOSEBURG. Or.. Sept. 25, (Spe cial.) That the Taylor-street Metho liBt Church row, politics and other factional differences entered quietly ipto today's sessions of the annual con ference nf the Methodist Episcopal Cjhurch now In progress here, was the expression of many of those present when the so-called Insurgents elected lour delegates to the general confer ence of the Methodist Church to be held at Saratoga, N. Y next May. The delegates elected were Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of Portland; Rev. J. T. Abbott, of Eugene; Rev. Hiram Gould, of Newberg, and Rev. C. C. Rarick, .of Portland. The reserve delegates elected were Jlev. A. N. Avison. of Salem; Rev. James Moore, of Salem, late district fviiperintendent, and Rev. "W. B. Holl ipgshead, delegate-at-Iarge. The opposition to the Insurgent con trol of the conference was led by Rev. T, V. McDougall and Rev. Frank L. Imveland, but neither was able to as semble sufficient strength to assure ejection. To avoid, if possible, the chance of these two men securing places on the reserve list of delegates to the general conference the election of the alternates was postponed until late in the day. Delegates Friendly to Bishop. The delay in balloting on the re serve delegates to the general confer ence was admitted by many of those present at the session to have been fthangd in order that the insurgents could select another slate. While the active delegates are not antagonistic ta the bishop in every way, they are admittedly opposed to the Portland church consolidation, or acceptable to the dissenting faction. Personally the delegates are said to be friendly to the hishop. '.Only two delegates were elected on the first ballot, these being Mr. Wilson and Mr. Abbott. There were no for mal nominations, the members of the conference being entitled to as many votes as there were delegates to elect. lr. Wilson received 71 votes and Mr. Abbott 68 votes. Fifty votes were nec essary to elect. On the third ballot Mr. Gould was elected with 84 votes. Mr. Rari'k received 71 votes on the fifth ballot. The relationship existing between the Methodist Episcopal and South Methodist churches and the con templated union of these two denomi nations was discussed at some length, following presentation of the subject by Dr. T. B. Ford, of Oregon City. .Dr. Ford was a delegate to the re cent conference of the Methodist Church held here, and expressed him self at that time with regard to the cordial feelings that appeared to pre vail between the two denominations. Ttev. C. H. Cleaves, pastor of the local Methodist Church, South, and a dele gate to the Methodist Episcopal Church Conference extended greetings from the organization he represented, and the personal felicitations of Bishop Lam beth to Bishop Cooke. . 5, . Reunion Is Favored. jBIshop Cooke responded and spoke on the South as his home and where he would like to lie when his life's work was done. Nothing would bring about the union of the North and South as would the union of the two Methodist Churches, the bishop said. Considerable discussion prevailed With regard to the advisability of con tinuing the agent for the conference claimants' fund. It was decided to re tain the officer and Rev. George H. Hopkins was named for the position. Dr. Bovard, secretary of the Home Missions Extension Society, made a report in which he showed that about 4000 ministers were being wholly o partly eupported by this fund. More than Sl.6u0.000 he said was in a fund fbr loaning churches. He declared that where sums had been loaned the in terest should be paid promptly. Late this afternoon the delegates were taken for an automobile drive eoout the city and through the ad jacent orchard districts. Most of to day's work of the conference was done ny committees, reports of which wijl be filed Monday. A number of religious services at which sermons will be preached by the visiting delegates will mark tomor row's session of the conference. Ap pointments of pastors will occur Mon day.

ALL DEBT TO BE WIPED OUT State Auditor Declares Xo Deficit Will Be Left for Incoming Ad . ministration as Is Reported to Have Been Cnstomary. OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept 25. (Spe cial.) The Washington state tax levy for 1915 was announced by the State Board of Equalization today at '7 mills, to raise J7. 218, 942, this representing a reduction of 91. 108,505 from the 8.07 mill levy of 1914, which in turn was a reduction of $610,078 from the 8.87 mlll levy of 1913. Although a marked reduction has been made in the total levy, the mili tary fund levy has been increased from .11 of a mill to .2 of a mill. In accordance with the proposal of Adjutant-General Maurico Thompson, who declared such an increase necessary to enable Washington to fulfil its share In the National programme for de fense. Additional Military Desired. The Increase or this levy to the legal maximum. and its continuance at this figure for the next two years. General Thompson said, would enable Wash ington to organize and maintain five more companies of coast artillery, three batteries of field artillery, an addi tional troop of cavalry, a field hospi tal and an ambulance corps, to build an armory at Walla Walla, enlarge the Spokane armory and provide badly needed improvements at the American Lake encampment grounds. The state general fund levy, al though reduced frcm 2.45 mills to 1.25, will provide sufficient revenue, in ad dition to the $1,600,000 surplus exist ing at present, to enable tho retire ment of the remaining state debt as soon as legislative authority is re ceived, thus carrying out the pet project of Governor Lister. A $40,000 increase is. made In" the state school levy, which will approxi mately meet the amount which Wash ington this year fell short of providing $10 for each child of school age.

State Auditor Clausen, In an nouncing the levy, said that while the sharp reduction had been found pos sible, the Board had been conservative in Its estimates, and that no increase would be necessary next year to meet a deficit resulting from the present levy. During past administrations the practice of making a low levy In cam paign years had become notorious, al ways necessitating a- sharp Increase the following year. In 1912, as the re sult of tn extremely low levy, the general " fund was overdrawn more .than $500,000 when- Governor Lister assumed office, this being largely re sponsible for the high record levy of the following year.

Why not drop in, place your order and in EXPERTS DO NOT AGREE VALE FORECLOSURE SUIT DE VELOPS MUCH INTEREST. Testimony Regarding Care and Irriga tion of Fruit Ranch Is Directly Contradictory. VALE. Or.. Sept. 25 (Special.) In the equity cour here Judge Dalton Biggs has been hearing testimony 'and argument in the case of the Willow River Land & Irrigation Company vs. S. M. Willis, a, Brogan orchardlst, which promises to be of great interest and to create legal precedent for an inter esting question of moment to water users and Irrigation companies. The question has arisen through suit by the company to foreclose on the land of Willis for non-payment of notes covering the purchase price. Willis sets up a counter claim for damages sus tained by reason of the failure of the company to deliver water contracted for at the time the land was purcnased. The contract called for one-half inch per acre in continuous flow for an Ir rigation season of 154 days, aggregat ing 4 8-100 acre-feet. The company has demanded the right, and exercised the right, to determine whether a less amount was sufficient, and to read Into the contract the words "not exceeding one-half Inch." Many experts have been put on tho stand. The testimony has disagreed as to many things, while every witness agreed that Brogan and the surround ing section is an ideal fruit country and that the orchard of S. M. Willis is one of the best in. the country for its age. Expert testimony has been given as to the effect of moisture and lack of moisture on the formation of fruit spurs, the proper method of pruning, the best care and cultivation of or chards in an irrigated section, the proper time to Irrigate and amount of water. One expert testified that the orchard had had too little moisture and another that it had had too much; one that the pruning was excellent, and another that It was poorly pruned, and so on In oth er respecta.
