CHURCH FREE FROM DEBT
: Minister Ivong Leader In Portland
Spiritual Field Pays Tribute to
Pioneer Families for Mak
ing Pastorate Prosper.
Eighteen years ago last Monday Dr.
A. A. Morrison began his duties as rec
tor of Trinity Episcopal Church," this
. city. On that date he and his family
attended their first services in old Trin
ity Church, then located at the north-
. east corner of Sixth and Oak streets,
and sat in a pew and took their part in
the service. December 1, 1899, Dr. Mor
rison preached his first sermon and in
toned morning: and evening; prayer
there.
Eighteen years ago this city had a
population of 96,600, according: to the
city directory of that year, and William
A. Story ' was Mayor. Old Trinity
Church property of that period was
sold about three years afterward for
$60,000. In 1S99 old Trinity owed about
$40,000, incurred principally through
purchasing property on Washington
street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth, a lot then intended for a
new church building.
Debt Wiped Out.
Today the new Trinity Church prop
erty at the southwest corner of Nine
teenth and Everett streets, is valued at
$250,000, free of debt. There is a small
debt on the rectory building, adjoining,
but it is stated that this sum may be
paid in entirety before long.
Much of the success of this church
work is due to the hard and faithful
work of the rector of those 18 event
ful years.
"I have been helped by historic pio
neer families of this city," said Dr.
Morrison. "I refer particularly to ths
old families of the Lewises, Glisans,
Wilsons, Elanders, to the" late John Mc
Craken, to the late George H. Williams,
and others. They represented and
and those whom they have left behind
represent the highest type of church
people most of whom have passed
away."
In the Lenten season of 1901 a defec
tive flue in old Trinity Church started
a blaze in the roof of the structure, and
a bad fire resulted. The building in its
entirety did not suffer, but so badly
was it wrecked although the chancel
was saved that in the opinion of the
authorities of the fire bureau, old Trin
ity's usefulness as a place of worship
bad passed.
Temporary Church Provided.
Trinity congregation met for worship
the succeeding Sunday afternoon in the
First Presbyterian Church, and within
ten days' time Trinity Church vestry
had fitted up a temporary chapel in the
drill hall of the old Bishop Scott Acad
emy, then located on Nineteenth street,
opposite Couch. Easter services were
also held there.
It was decided that the Trinity prop
erty on Washington street was more
suited to business uses. The $60,000
received for the old Trinity property
at Sixth and Oak streets was placed
into a fund for a new church building,
and after the closing of the old Bishop
Scott Academy the Washington-street
property was taken in part payment
for 260 by 200 feet of the Academy
campus at Nineteenth and Everett
streets, where the erection of the pres
ent stone church building was begun
Jn 1904, the cornerstone being laid by
Bishop Morris. In two years more tiio
building was completed, and paid for
ehortly afterward.
In 1906 the church was consecrated
by Bishop Scadding.
Women Reduce Debt. , "
The members of the Women's Guild
Of Trinity have done a good deal to
reduce the indebtedness on the rectory,
where Dr. Morrison and his family re
aide. Dr. Morrison is of Scotch parentage,
his old family home being in Alloa, in
the central part of Scotland. While
his mother was visiting friends in
Dublin, Ireland, on a proposed visit of
one week, the future rector of Trinity
was born. When he was 7 years old
Dr. Morrison's parents took him to
make their future home in New York.
Educated at Union Theological Semi
nary, New York, Dr. Morrison passed
the first years of his ministry in Kan
pas, and was ordained in 1886 by
Bishop Vail, of Kansas. Three years
in mission work in the West followed,
Dr. Morrison's first charge being at
Abilebe, Kan., succeeded by a charge
at Schuyler, Neb. Dr. Morrison received
two pastoral calls simultaneously, one
to St. George's Episcopal Church, Lead
ville, Colo., and the other to St. Mat
thews' Episcopal Church, Brooklyn. N.
Y. He accepted the latter call and
remained in that position for the next
10 years, until called to Trinity Church,
this city.
Sermons Show Orlslnallty.
While he was engaged in his mission
work Dr. Morrison found enough spare
time for a non-residence course of
studies at Illinois Wesleyan University,
Bloomington, 111., at which institution
of learning, at the completion of .his
college course, he took examinations
for degrees of master of arts and doc
tor of philosophy. Dr. Morrison for
several years devoted much time to the
advanced study of psychology and
psychical research, in which depart
ments today he is considered an expert.
. Jn 1910-1911 Dr. Morrison practiced,
with success, the Emmanuel movement
of healing by prayer, and patients came
to him from a wide field. But such
was the call on his services to heal
the sick that he found he could not
attend also to his manifold duties of
rector of Trinity, and ha busied him
self with the latter.
As a preacher Dr. Morrison speaks
extemporaneously and fluently on
philosophy, service and church work.
His sermons show originality of
thought and ever-present optimism
and freshnesej of vision. Dr. Morrison
Is also an, acknowledged musical au
- thority.

COLUMBIA GIRL USHERS TURN TO KNITTING.
Li v h n
The knitting usher Is now a familiar figure at the Liberty Theater.
A dozen girls arrayed in fetching Colonial costumes of cretonne and cilk,
surmounted by nifty poke bonnets, deftly click the needles as they stand in
the aisles during lulls between piloting patrons to their seats. The Colo
nial knitters made their debut last Sunday and attracted go much attention
that masculinity experienced much difficulty In concentrating on the drama
unfolded on the screen. Hut before their public appearance the girls were
given a course of instruction in knitting and a costumer had been at work
for several weeks on the most elaborate usher costumes ever presented to
the Portland public. E. J. Myrick, manager of the Liberty, who introduced
the afternoon tea, fashion shows, organ recitals and other features to
photoplay patrons, is responsible for the knitting ushers.
LABOR TELLS STORY
Buying of Oregon Products Will
Build Bigger Payrolls.
LOCAL GOODS FEATURED
Home Products Week Has Been Set
Aside by Governor . Witriycombe,
and Is Planned to Draw Atten
tion to Oregon Goods.
"Wanted hi rger payrolls," la a slo
gan of the Home Industry League of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
"Buy home industry products," is the
other slogan, which ties thatwo to
gether and explains how to get the
bigger payrolls.
It Is the assertion of the league that
payroll money circulates locally," and
that, as a result, whatever prosperity
prevails in labor circles is reflected im
mediately in the various lines of mer
cantile enterprise.
It is for this reason that the league,
through A. G. Clark, its manager, is
promoting Home Products week, and
commencing tomorrow and continuing
until next Saturday night people are
expected to Invest in at least $1 worth
of Oregon-made articles for Christmas
presents or other purposes.
Home' Product Boosted.
Home Products week, which has been
officially set aside by Governor Wlthy
combe and Mayor Baker, of Portland,
for the purpose, was planned to draw
special attention to local industries.
The league believes that the time is at
hand when it is nothing short of a
patriotic duty to . feature the factory
products of this locality, since the Gov
ernment is advocating to the people of
the Nation the use of local products.
Manager Clark is calling attention
to the large and varied line of home
manufactured goods, all of which are
to be featured during the week. He
has been engaged in an effort to get
the merchants here to carry these
goods and to put them forward ener
getically. Arrangements have been made
whereby at meetings of the downtown
clubs special attention will be di
rected to the occaRion, and In every

manner possible to back the manufac
turers of home-made articles.
Regarding the encouragement of
home industries and the results of so
doing Manager Clark yesterday made
the following statement:
The other day I called upon merchants
In half a dozen different lines and asked
each the same question, Waa your busi
ness noticeably affected by the recent ship
yard strike?"
If these merchants bad been srouped
when replying. It would have sounded like a
chorus, because the individual response was
about the same"! should say we did notice
a difference."
Not one of them fully realized they had
eonvlcted themselves and were left with
out a leg- to stand on.
I took occasion to point out to these
merchants the fact that if their business
was affected downward when men are taken
oft payrolls it might be affected upward if
men are added. And also to state that one
of the complaints of the public Is that lo
cal merchants either do not carry Oregon
products- or fall to feature them when con
sumers come to buy.
In fact, the practice of too many re
tailers Is to knock Oregon products In favor
of goods made elsewhere.
It Is a- simple problem after all, this
business of increasing payrolls. If mer
chants will buy and make a little effort
to sell they will find the consumer ready
to come more than half way to support
products of Oregon factories.
Vitb Home products week at nana there
no Question but that large amounts of
money can and will be diverted to Oregon
goods if our merchants will show the lines.

Only Addition Necessary Now to
Give Adequate Supply for Popu
lation of 1,000,000 Is Another
Reservoir on West Side.
The loV water pressure and Summer
water shortage problems in Portland
have been solved. So announced City
Commissioner Mann yesterday. The so
lution as worked out has Involved but
little expense and Makes water and
pressure in Portland sufficient to In
sure against the city having in the
future ta limit lawn sprinkling to al
ternate days. The construction of only
one additional reserve reservoir on the
West Side Is all that is needed to give
the city an ample supply for a popu
lation of 1,000,000 persons.
The solution has been in the Increas
ing of the pressures at the headworka
and the reservoirs and the Increasing
of storage at Bull Run Lake. A new in
take system has just been completed
at the headworks which removes all
obstructions and Increases the pres
sure materially at the point where the
water enters from Bull Run River to
the two steel pipelines running to the
Mount Tabor reservoirs.
By this arrangement the pressure la
so increased that the pipelines will
carry far more water than they have
been able to In the past. A test of the
system has shown that leaves dropped
in the pipelines at the headworks now
reach the reservoir In four hours,
whereas formerly they required seven
hours.
- High Poiat Reduces Efficiency.
The trouble formerly was that the
pipes in passing over Lusted Hill reach
an elevation where the pressure has
been Insufficient from the intake to
force a full flow over the highest point
on the hill to the other side. Where
the pipe at the top of the hill formerly
was only about half full the Increased
pressure now keeps it nearly full at
this point.
The Increased flow through the pipe
lines means that the Water Bureau
will be able to keep the reservoirs full
during the sprinkling periods. The in
increased depth at the reservoirs means
increased pressures in the water mains
throughout the city. The increased
pressures in the pipes means Increased
pressures and large supplies where low
pressures have existed in the past.
Coat la Trivial.
The new arrangement at the head
works has cost little, involving mere
ly the taking out of some concrete
piers, the building' of a concrete wall
and the widening of the channel lead
ing to the intakt). A permanent dam
has been built, so that if necessary the
entire flow of Bull Run River can be
diverted into the intake.
The question of increased amount of
available water has been worked out
at Bull Run Lake, A dam constructed
across a neck or lagoon of the lake
apparently has had the effect of In
creasing the depth of the lake to such
a point that the city has enough, addi
tional water to meet the entire city
supply for 30 days. The system at the
lake also Involves the regulation of
the flow from the lake to Bull Run
River, enabling the conservation of
water during periods of plenty for
periods of shortage.
Danger of Shortage Eliminated.
The full extent of the success of the
new arrangements at the lake have not
been demonstrated as yet except to
make sure that the supply of water la
materially Increased. This,' in conjunc
tion with the new arrangements at the
headworks Intake, removes all water
shortage danger.
Mr. Mann's solution has cost less
than $10,000. It has taken the place
of the city-wide water-meter scheme
which was proposed previously to solve
the question. The meters involved In-
$100,000.00 Worth!

vestments of hundreds of thousands of
dollars and the useless curtailment of
water during periods when there la
no need for conservation.
Commissioner Mann says the new
plan will not remove the necessity in
the future of building an additional
reserve reservoir on the West Elde. He
Is looking now for a site for such a
reservoir. Meters would not have re
moved the necessity of this, either.
Several sites have been looked over,
but no negotiations have been started
as yet.
