An organt K&tfon to be knoWn as the Peninsula Federation of East Side clubs Is In the . course of organisation ' that will unite the entire peninsula in a movement for improvement. Eight clubs, several of which have been organised within the past few days, have signified an Inten tion of Joining the federation. A number of the clubs hava already elected delegates to the federation. The business of the united clubs will be conducted y fcn, executive committee, "consisting of one delegate from each of the clubs in the organisation.

Secretary Taft speaks In New Ha ' veniOie foilowlcs Monday : . our charter is amended so that the street building question is finally set ' City Xae Outgrown Methods. "Our present method of building streets f all wrong," said Councilman Rushlight; "the whole system will have to be amended. First, we must en deavor to relieve the crushed rock scarcity by crushing for repairing streets, then amend the charter to deal with new methods of improving streets entirely. Our city has outgrown the old methods of street building and we should have new methods that are com mensurate with the needs of a city as large as Portland." A big delegation will be sent to the council meeting whehTiTe rock crusher question comes up in two weeks for consideration in order to see the ordi nance passed or learn why It cannot be passed. The appropriation of $25,000 was thought by some to be too small, 160,000 having been asked for, but In the opinion of Mr. Rushlight and others the smaller appropriation Is thought to be the wiser at present. Conflicting Evidence. From the Washington Star. The venerable and learned Justice John M. Harlan during a game of golf at Chevy Chase explained the intrica cies Of evidence to a young man. "Usually, in conflicting evidence," he said, "one statement Is far more prob abl than the other, so that we can decide easily which, to believe. "It 1 like the boy and the house- hU"Arhouse-hunter, getting off a train at a suburban station, said to a boy: " "My lad, 1 am looking for Mr. Smith son's new block of semi-detached cot tages. How far are.tney rrom nere : ''About 20 minutes' walk," the boy T, -Twenty minutes?" exclaimed the honse-hunter "Nonsense! The advertlse- rnant BIVl tiVt.'

Baptist churches In rural communi ties sometimes have difficulty In per forming the baptismal rite. Many churches have no baptistries, and these must resort to nearby streams and ponds. This la hardly feasible In the winter time, aitnougn many converts are so strong in the faith that they are willing to risk an Icy plunge. Even with the country churches which have baptistries It is not always plain sailing. Some of them depend on rain water to fill the baptistry, and fre quently prayers for rain take on an added significance. One little church In Canada had an experience once which would seem to be without paral lel. This church was at a crossroads and; on another corner was a Presbyterian church. There was rivalry between them which often took on an unchris tlanlike aspect. One winter the Baptist church had a revival. Seventeen converts were gath ered in. When the spring rains began the members were thankful, as the bap tistry was soon filled. It wa planned to have all the baptisms on one day, and the church was crowded to witness so munificent a showing of the work ings of providence. . But the Baptist had not counted on the Presbyterians, who hadn't had any conversions and were Jealous. When the great Sunday morning dawned the cover was removed from the tank beneath the gulplt, and behold there was no water, ome one had pulled the plug. -r An Inquiry showed pretty conclusive ly that two' grave and reverend elders of the Presbyterian church had pulled that plug.
