ENTIRE BLOCK ARE SOON TO BE ERECTED - If the plans of the 'Union Market as sociation da not miscarry before the sum mer shall have arrived, Portland will be provided with a permanent market place where farmers way come and sell their produce and where their wives may rent and even purchase supplies, dry goods excepted, i ' v , The association, which was Incorporated little too strong and men with capital enough to father the venture have been lacking. ; "Any week-day morning one sees the si few days ago with a capital stock of 150,000, divided Into 600 shares, has, ob tained a franchise for 25 years on a block of ground at Second,- Third, Clay and Market streets, and will soon begin the erection of buildings. " .' The buildings will consist of three one story structures, the two other ones be ing open sheds Into which the farmers end gardeners can back their wagons and dispose pf . their produce direct to the consumer. The larger building In the center will be divided In stalls or booths, and rented to permanent dealers. ----- "The outer buildings," said S. CJ. Beach, one of the stockholders or the association, "will be 60x200 feet in size, and the main structure 65x200 feet Aside from the THE NEW-MARKET AS IT WILL LOOK WHEN COMPLETED, C C. ROBBINS ARCHITECT. booths and stalls, there will be a res taurant and a restroom provided for the women, with lockers and toilet-rooms, and a matron In charge. We also Intend to have a band platform and to give concerts certain evenings In the week. "When the city establishes the offices of inspector -of food and inspector of weights and measures, as contemplated, we will provide them with headquarters. Standard scales will also be constructed for the purpose of allowing farmers to weigh hay and other bulky produce. It Is likely that a cold storage plant will also be erected. "A permanent market place has been talked of for several years, but hereto fore the opposition against it has been a plasa block lined with produce' wagons from the country. Now the farmer needs some place where he can be protected from the weather, and persons desiring to purchase from him desire the establish ment of a market place where he can al ways be found. "It is estimated that an average of 120 wagons dally visit the city of Port' land with produce. Sixty transient carts and, wagons will be provided for at the new market place." The site of the proposed market ex change Is where the old Mechanics' pa vlllon stood, and. where, rears ago. the mechanics' exposition was held. The Union Market company first took up the market proposition, but later the Union Market association assumed the matter, REV. H. J. TALBOTT ON UTAH FIELD . By H. X Talbott ' The Presbyterian church was the first to begin , work In Utah. It was fol lowed In 1ST0 by the Methodist Epis copal church and" later by the Baptist Congregational, Disciples and Lutheran churches. As may easily be supposed the , field is a most difficult one, pre senting many complex problems. Great credit must be : given the men and women who have persevered In Christian work there under most discouraging con ditions. Progress being slow and re sults meager, of -course the workers in the field would be open to the criticisms of friends to their cause Who' were not Informed as to the obstacles to be overcome. This of itself would make a lieavy draft upon the endurance of the missionaries. Doubtles If all the facta were known It would be matter for con gratulation that the churches have ac complished as much as they have In the past few years. The General Situation. Certainly no one who - has -not been on' the ground, with ample opportunity to study the general situation as well as to consider in detail the .Questions Involved In church work in Utah, would bo justified in either announcing a pol icy of even In. expressing an opinion ex cept In a tentative way. - In a general way,' however,. it may be said that a church which wishes to establish the Christian religion in- any community would seem to have larger, promise of doing so, by adhering closely to the promulgation of Its doctrine and by in uletlng that the lives of : Its members Illustrate Its teachings and - doctrines than in any other way. 5 At any rate this course Is always open to the ap proval of common sense; It is beyond criticism: ' It is ' Christlike, and it U ure of reasonable and permanent re.. ' suits in the 'outcome.- , Policy of Methodist Church. It has not been the policy of the Methodist Episcopal church to seek to dominate either political parties or the administration of public affairs. Its at titude toward all public reforms has been one of friendliness and helpful ness, but its . particular mission has been to the Individual. Its traditions have all been against ecclesiastical dom ination In civic affairs, , for the very f ' of that church are too Independent In their , thinking to be "voted" by any man or men upon any issue whatsoever. They are usually found upon the right side of all questions having a clearly defined moral bearing, when the issue is made without entanglements. There can be no doubt that the laws 'of the Qhurch and Its beliefs would allow an active campaign against anything which, by common consent would be classi fied as an Immorality, or which would be recognized as . being distinctly im moral in tendency. ' Indeed the tradi tions of -the church are in favOr of the active promotion of all moral reform; but, whilst ' In conferences and other representative bodies It has denned its attitude toward public reform move ments, usually' ,it has been the case that our people have been left free and have beenencouragedtoactlon based upon individual Judgment as to the manner of sustaining such movements. ; . Volley Hot Sndtoated, It may frankly be said, without there by indicating any line of policy to be pursued in our church work in Utah, that many Intelligent observers of af fairs In the religious world hold it as an open question as to whether it is not the true policy of the Christian church to concern Itself chiefly with the pro motion of the spiritual life of the in dividual, and only incidentally with pub lic reforms, however desirable they may be. At present there i not at hand data upon which to found a Judgment as to the merits of the work of the church In Utah In past years.- It is quite clear, however, that if a church is to win victories in any field It must face the future and march that way not coun ter march. One watchword will be needed only one and that "forward,' K REV. DR. H. J. TALBOTT. ' I'x plain 'reason that such domination not only becomes a menace to publio good, but, sooner or later, reacts disastrously upon the organization that exercises it "j So far ssts now recalled no mair-haa1 ever yet attempted to mobilize the Methodist Episcopal church and swing it or any considerable portion of it upon the one side or the other of a movement which Involved a political Is sue. ., To their credit be It said the members , : To the Editor of The Journal I ap preciate very much the courteous treat ment -which I have invariably received from The Journal, and its .representa tives, and wish now to thank you for it. The enterprise shown In the manage ment of the paper is most commendable. Herewith I send you a communication relating to the work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Utah, over which I have recently been appointed super intendent It is a matter of regret to me that the communication cannot more explicitly cover the points presented in the list of very adroit and comprehen sive questions sent me. Tou will . see at once, howeve'r, that wisdom must restrain me .from announcing any pol icy which, upon the one hand, could be construed into a criticism upon the con duct of 6ur work in the past in that most difficult field; or, on the other, would invite attack from any who might be unfriendly to our work. It is im portant for me, so it would seem, to go into the field with an open mind, .to study carefully all sides of the ques tions, that may be presented, and to wel come light from all sources. Mini- festly to do this and to leave one's self free to act as common sense may Indicate, one must not be held within the lines of any preannounced policy. It ap pears plain to me that the inclosed writing will not meet your expecta tion quite; but I am sure you will ap preciate my reasons for not writing more in detail. Again I thanSTyou very much for The Journal's kindness. Sin cerely yours, H. 3. TALBOTT. XOTZXi CXAJTGES HAHDS. (Journal Special Barries.) CorvalUs, Jan. 30.

The change in ownership, however, does not effect ' the lease of Mr. Hum mel, who is in charge of the hotel.
