FINE NEW MARKET: BUILDINGS TO OCCUPY AN
. 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

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,

CorvalUs, Jan. 30. The Hotel Cor
vallls, conceded to be the finest hotel
in point of quiet elegance outside the
city of Portland, has changed hands.
The new owner is Mr. S. A. Miles of St
Helens,. Or., a gentleman of ample
means. The former owner is Mr. Swan
son of Portland. ,., The Benton county
records show the consideration in the
deal to have been $20,000, , The sale was
closed last week.
The change in ownership, however,
does not effect ' the lease of Mr. Hum
mel, who is in charge of the hotel. This
fact is pleasant news for Corvallisites,
as both Mr. and Mrs. Hummel are de
lightful people whom the community
would. regret to lose. Although but re
cently opened to the publio after being
thoroughly refitted; and repaired. Hotel
Corvallls has already built up a splen
