FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1904. LARGE ATTENDANCE AND GREAT INTEREST SHOWN. Below Is Given a Complete List of Committee Appointments, and Al so the Various Pulpit Assign ments in the City Tomorrow— Committee Reports Show Increas ing Strength and Influence. and Excellent Prospects. The First Baptist church was fill- ed to the doors last night when the Christian Endeavor convention was called to ordei by J. A. Rockwood, of Portland, he president of the state society. The train in the evening from Portland brought SO delegatee from the valley cities and towns of the western part of the state, while during the day the various trains into the city each had its quota of people. The visiting delegates were met at the trains by the reception com- mittee and taken to the places where entertainment had been of- fered, and all those coming were provided with a place in some hos- pi table Pendleton home. The convention was opened by singing of the Oregon I State Christian Endeavor hymn, wnlcn was sung by the audience. led by Professor E. Ray Jones, of Pendle- ton. and his choir of 25 voices. Following the opening hymn. Mrs. Myrtle Ricketson. of Pendleton, sang very sweetly a solo, which was followed by the scripture lesson of the evening, read by Rev. S. C. El der. of Moro, who chose for the ser vice the second chapter of Paul's epistle to the Philippians. At the close of the lesson Rev. Elder asked in eloquent words the blessing of God on the convention now assem bled. time was given this morning to strictly devotional work, after which the reports of the officers of the state union, and of the representa- tires of the districts of the state were read. The report of President Rockwood stated in part that the work of the state officers for the past year had been directed to the advancement of the district work. There are now organizations in every district in the state with the exception of the Pa cific district (Goos and Curry coun ties) and the upper Columbia. There have been quite a number of changes in the state executive committee since the Ashland con- 'vention. A. W. Brookings, of Port land. has been appointed assistant treasurer, Rev. Fergusen. of the cit izenship and temperance work, has been called to the East to a church, and his place has been filled by Trank H. Mixsell, of Oregon City. Riv. A. E. Gardner, superintendent of the Christian Endeavor literature has resigned, and Miss lleula Hen kle. of Philomath, has been appoint- ed to the place. Two new departments have been added: the devotional, with Rev. C. T. Hurd, of Salem, at the head, and the press, with W. A. Dill, of Port land. in charge.

Muck- ley, th* pastor of the First Christian church of Portland, and recently of Honolulu, was introduced to make the address. He spoke from the theme found in Matthew xiv, 8. "And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man save Jesus only," delivering a very powerful sermon. At the close of the sermon the convention adjourned for the even ing.

This ban ner will be granted for two years to the district which has made the big- gest increase since June last, the presentation to be made on Monday next. An invitation has been extended to the Young People’s Alliance of the United Brethren church to affili ate with the Christian Endeavor, and it is thought by the end of the summer all of the societies will work in harmony with this order The state officers have been han dicapped by a lack of funds, and nolle recommend every society to tax each member 10 cents each year for carrying on the state work. The president called the attention of the convention to the value a field secretary for Oregon, Washing ton and California would be to the work, and asked the body to give the matter its considreation. He also stated that there was a strong probability that the next in- ernational convention of the Chris Address by Rev.

Away by POSSIBLE THAT POST Lease of Present Quarters Expire* in April—Bowman Building Is a Bidder and There I* a 8trcng Probability That it May Come to 8outh Main 8treet — Government Ha* so Far Paid Only a Nominal Rental. There Is a strong probability that the new Bowman building will get the postoffice when the bids are opened in a short time for it is un derstood that Mr Bowman has put in a wry low bld. The postoffice location has been a mooted question for a long time, for the government has never been asked to pay more than a nominal rental for its room ta the past. At one time a room was rented to the department for ,120 a year, and it has coat the government but ,240 a year for the location, with the heat and light thrown in. Now, however, the owners of the building, so it is said, have asked the depart- ment ,1.800 a year, a price in pro portion with the rental* asked of the other tenents in the block, and for this reason it is thought that the government will make a change if there ia any suitable location which it can get cheaper. It has been the policy of the prop- j erty-owner* to rent the office to the I government at a low figure and then ' ask the merchants to make up the : deficit, which they can do from the I added profits brought by the lncreas- 1 ed business attracted by the postof- , flee. Now, however, it 1* thought I that their trade ia established; and | besides, the owner* of the property where the office now I* have no ob ject in renting low. as they ar« not the owners of the other property In the building, therefore they wish to get the full value of their property in rental. Just what Mr. Bowman hai bld .* not stated, but it It thought to be much lower than the rent anked by the owner* of the present office, and for this reason It is thought and hoped by a great many ot the bus- IE ess men who are interested ta the change that the government will place the office ta the new Bowman building when the lease for the pres ent. location expires In April next * A A MORE ECONOMY NEEDED IN CITY AFFAIR* Does it look reasonable for the taxpayers to be paying out more than two prices for the city ex- lenses’ Here is just one more sample of -he business economy that is being which at 6 cents per inch, the price allowed that paper for publishing the city notices amounts to 2« cents per insertion, or »24 for 100 insertions.
