It Is the unanimous opinion of every
ministerial delegate In attendance upon
the 65th session of the Oregon annual
'. conference of the Methodist Episcopal
! church being held In Grace church and
Z which closes with tomorrow evening's
' y session that never In the history of the
t church has such a highly successful
gathering, taken from every standpoint.
.' been held. The same opinion is shared
by members of the Laymen's associa
tion. Perhaps the language of Delegate'
' B. Lee Paget, who will represent the
: Laymen's association at tne annual gen
eral conference to be held at Baltimore,
; Maryland, next May, better ezpresaes
' the general sentiment than anything
t else yet offered.
. ; . Accomplished Wonders,
"if-we accomplished nothing elss at
; the joint session," he said last evening,
we did a wonderful work In raising
over 280.000 in less than one hour for
, education. Just stop and think of what
that means for Oregon. But we have
jl accomplished everything we set out to,
t do and more. That which most lm
! presses ine is the manner in , which
j money was pledged for the carrying on
. of education. When it is considered that
.- such a great cause as the T. M. C A. is
obliged when it needa any. considerable
funds to appoint a committee of say 100
' or more to work hard and diligently for
v a week or more in tne. canvassing ror
. money'and then when you look on the
' other hand and see thst almost volun
tarily and without effort an amount
- nearly eaual , to that which we desired
was subscribed in less than an hour, it
is sometning which uetnoaists snouia
be highly proud of. - -
i . "Originally, we desired only to raise
' $100,000 as a starter to endow Wlllam
.'ette university. Already we have nearly
885,000 and Bishop Moore will spend
the entire month of October, In this dis
trict aiding in the canvass for addi
tional funds. .The 2100.00ft will be
raised In short time and we now propose
to raise at least $250,000 by January 1.
i Perhaps I should qualify that by saying
we hope to secure that amount. How
ever, I feel reasonably certain that we
will be successful.
i "Ultimately it is our desire- to have
an endowment for the university of at
least $600,000 and then we will' feel
that the institution will be self-supporting
at least for some time to come. The
needs of the university yearly will be
$25,000 and half a million dollars? will
make It independent."
- v Arrangsd Appointments.
' ': Yesterday afternoon the conference
- abandoned general session to permit the
i presiding elders of the various districts
in the conrerence to arrange appoint- !
1 ments subject to Bishop Moore's sane- '
tlon. These will be announced tomor- '
row before adjournment At the am5
t, time the reports or the statistical and
treasurer's committees will be made.
Both committees busied themselves yes
M J terday afternoon completing reports.
I, In the absence of convention session
', on the part of ministerial delegates the
! Laymen's association concluded its busi-
ness at Taylor street church.

; quest that the conference appoint an

THE superior quality and cxcluaivcness of the fabrics carried by (tliii" .establishment have been
-the subject of universal comment by men of Portland. Tho'ie visiting, this store for the -first
time invariably express , unbounded astonishment at the really extraordinary stock we
display. - From every producing country, in the woolen line from all the world is found a repre?
sentative showing. Not a few patterns of a kind, but hundreds and hundreds of each of the pop-'
ular -weaves Homespuns, Cheviots Cassimeres, Tweeds and Worsteds twice, as many as most
tailors carry indeed, so many choice pieces that an unsatisfactory selection becomes an absolute.
Impossibility. ' - . " '' .?. f ... .. -
But this is not all., The splendid character of these fabrics adds much in the making in
style, individuality in the artistic tone of the garments. "Columbia tailoring Is not an every day
proposition; its equal is found in very few other cities in the United States. You do yourself an
Injustice not to know its worth. And does not the economical side of it interest you?
