Councilman Menefee was
also present and gave It as his opinion
that the city could not go Into the rock
crushing business under the present
charter. .
Mr. Rushlight said the city could
crush rock for the repair of streets un
der the charter, and if rock were
crushed for that purpose alone it would
greatly relieve the scarcity of crushed
rock In the market at present The
proposed ordinance Is a stepping stone,
said Mr. Kusmigni. to runner opera

' 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.

"Usually, in conflicting evidence," he

decide easily which, to believe.

Revival .Almost Spoiled Because Rl-
. vals Pulled the ring.
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. It happened many years ago,
