HARRDIAN'S AGENT
- BUYS ODESSA RESORT
cPocatello, Idaho, May 19 The one
hundred and twenty-first assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the United
States of America Is about to convene.
The official title of this body as Just
given is quite Imposing, but all the
phrases In the superscription are need
ed. The number of this particular gath
ering awakena historical Interest even
in the casual observer and gives the
bona fide antiquarian solid food for
thought. The Presbyterians appear to
have ground for boasting that their
supreme tribunal in America is prac
tically coeval with the government of
the L'nlted States Itself.
The genpral assembly Is composed, as
many of The Journal s readers already
know, of representatives called commis
sioners, chosen by the various Presby
teries all over the land Every Pres-
by.y is entitled to send at least one
minister and one elder as commission
ers to the assembly. The larger Pres
byteries send mure representatives, the
rule being that for every 24 ministers
or fraction of 24 not less than 12, be
longing to a pnrticular Presbytery, an
additional ministerial and lay commis
sioner may be sent. I'nder this rule
Portland sends two ministers, the Rev
D. A. Thompson, pastor of the Sellwood
church, and the Rev. I... R. I-andsbor-ough.
of the Oregon City church; also
commissioning two elders, E. W. Ames-
bury, of Westminster church, and T. C
Shreve of Mount Tabor church. Los An
geles Presbytery being a much largur
body on account of the number or mln
Isters who have moved to southern Cal
ifornia, sends five each of ministerial
and elder commissioners.
Entire Title Essential.
Alluding again to the official title, the
words "in tne united states , or Amer
ica" are ah' essential. The so-called
Southern Presbyterian church, which
was separated from the northern or
general Presbyterian church on the is
sues of the Civil war, and which today
is noted for Its intense conservatism
In doctrine, has for its title. "The Pres
byterlan Church of the United States."
There would be a 4mpest In the ecclesl
astical teapot. Indeed, should the stated
clerk so far forget himself as to forget
to say or America. ine stated clerk
will not forget, however. In Presby'
terian circles generally he has the rep
utation or Deing the most astute and
competent ecclesiastical politician or
statesman that the church has produced
for many a day. It Is a real pleasure
even to a novitiate to hear the Rev. wil
Ham Henry Roberts, D. D., LL. 1).. who
Is the aforesaid officer, roll out the
feltcitious phrases with great gusto. He
enjoys it so thoroughly that the audi
ence does too, for awhile.
Trains From All Quarters.
Anyway, the general assembly Is
about to convene. At the hour of this
writing special cars and even special
trains are converging toward a point
some ozoo leet above sea level, called,
In our geographical nomenclature, "Den-ver."
This Rocky mountain metropolis
stretched out very alluring hands to the
previous assemniy wnicn met in Kan
sas City last May. The call of the
Paciflo northwest voiced by Seattle and
reinforced by Portland's approving echo
in betiair or her sister city was not
strong enough to silence the appeal of
Jjenver. .This year is the semi-centennial
of Fresbyterlanlsm . in the Rocky
mountain region. Colorado Presbyteri
ans wanted the assembly very keenly.
The assembly usually goes where it Is
wanted the most urgently. Upon the
showndown, Denver won out So the
clans are gathering. New York, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey will be on
hand with large delegations. Presbyterl
anlsm being especially strong In those
states. Besides the commissioners from
the' eastern metropolis will come the
Secretaries of the various missionary
boards, to mingle With the commission-'
ers, ana to see mat their particular
charges are properlv reoresented and
presented before the assembly, They
come also to feel the pulse of the
church to find out how much alive she
Is to the claims and needs for her vari
ous missionary offspring, and If she ap
pears to be faint-hearted, to see that
she is supplied with new vigor. The
general assembly is usually, if not al
ways, an enthusiasm producting agency.
Will Be Host of Onlookers.
In addition to the commissioners and
the secretaries of the various boards,
there will be a host of onlookers. Most
of them will be Interested Presbyterians
from the vicinage of Denver. Many,
though, will eorae from the four joints
of the compass. The pockets of some
of them are already bulging with reso
lutions which they hope the assembly
will unanimously adopt to Its credit
and their satisfaction. There will be In
attendance many old timers and In a
secular phrase many "first ' nlghters."
It is a coveted privilege for many a
minister and elder in a remote region
to go uo for the first, time to a great
gathering ltke this. Unlike the Northern
Baptist convention, which will be held
In Portland in June, the general assem
bly delegates go at the expense of the
church, while-the Baptist brethren come
at thplr own charges. The finance
committee, which sits "hard by tr
treasury," takes due care to see that
each commissioner receives what he is
entitled to "no more, no less." This
committee's work la one of the most
exacting tasks before the whole assem
bly on account of the necessity of ac
curate computation and convenient pay
ment of many small accounts. The
orator who stirs the crowd Is a useful
man. but his brother of slow speech,
who frequently does not get near the
sessions of the assembly proper, but
who tends to business, is no whit be
hind. Kanl Distinguished, Delegates.
On the special trains now speeding
Denverward are several distinguished
men whose candidacy for the office of
moderator, the highest in the gift of
the church. Is in the hands of eager
and it Is to be hoped wise friends.
Manifestly not all of these excellent
men will be elected. The delegation
from the north Pacific coast sees eye
to eye with the great Presbytery of
Chicago on this matter and intends to
do all In its power to see that the Rev.
Dr. Edgar P. Hill Is clothed with the
toga. Dr. Hill's decade of splendid
and abundant labors on the coast his
present labor In the city of Chicago,
where he is bearing at least two men's
loads, filling a chair at the Mccor
mick seminary and exercising his ex
ecutive talents In superintending the
church extension work in Chicago, his
eminent fitness of mind and personal
ity; all of these things, in the minds
of many friends point to him unmis
takably as the man for the s-oodly suc
cession. This Is not to be taken in any
sense as a Drophecy, however, because
every assembly is sufficient unto Itself,
and is, in the last analysis, intensely
democratic and resentful of having any
plans made for It that are not pleasing
to it. The coast hopes, thoueh it does
not prophesy. By the time this letter
Is In press the assembly verdict will
be read
A Tev Given Mention.
Dr. Robert Mackenzie, formerly of
California, later of Rutger's church.
New York city, an d soon to return to
California, is to come with the eager
support of New York and California
Dr. Mackenzie is a man of rare attain
ments, a modest, though brilliant, mind,
and a great heart Plttsbure1 Presby
terians, backed by many allies from
elsewhere, are proposing the name of
the Rev. Dr. William T. McEwan of
the Third church, Pittsburg. Dr. Mc
Ewan is a splendid type of the men of
vision and nower who are swinging
some of our eastern city churches Into
the line of progress. He, too. Is a man
of highest attainments along all church
ly and personal lines. Detroit Pres
bytery comes forward for the first time
In years (If Its previous effort three
years ago be not counted) and proposes
again the name of the Rev. J. M. Bark
ley, P., P., one of its stalwart and
splendid pastors. Dr. Barkley was a
soldier In the Confederate army and
in addition to the argument from all
of his own good qualities, his support
ers maintain that the time for his
election Is ripe in view of the hope,
cherished on all sides, that the south
ern and northern churches may soon be
reunited.
Much Work for Assembly.
In any event, the assembly will gather
tomorrow morning. May 20, to hear the
moderator s sermon, arter which (It is
honed. In a proper frame of mind), the
dirrerent managers win tighten an the
loose wires so that by the afternoon
the assembly may proceed expeditious
ly and satisfactorily to the great event.
It must not be forgotten, however, that
when the moderator has been elected
the assembly Is not over: It has Just
begun.

Klamath Falls. Or.. May 21. Odessa.
the largest public resort on the upper
Klamath lake, has been purchased by
Colonel W. H. Holabird and will be
closed to the public. ' The resort em
braces 480 acres of timber land and
meadow, with a large waterfront. Odes
sa creek, formed by large springs, flows
through the grounds. It Is but five
miles distant from the Harrlman resort.
Mrs. Mary Griffith has owned the
place for several years.' It is reported
that she received $50,000.
Colonel Holabird is the special agent
of E. H. Harrlman. It was he who
purchased Pelican lodge, although it is
common knowledge that it is the prop
erty of Harrlman. Colonel Holabird de
clares that he bought the Odessa prop
erty for himself. While at Pelican
lodge last summer Harrlman inspected
the Odessa property and also made an
offer for the place.
Colonel Holabird , states . that for the
present at least the resort will be closed
to the public. He says further that
when the proper time comes a large ho
tel may be built for the accommodation
of tourists. It Is. however, feared by
the people of this section, that this pop
ular resort, the same as .Pelican lodge,
is lost to them forever. .
ONLY ONE "BEST"
Portland People Give Credit
Where Credit is Dae
People 'of Porikind who suffer with
,.. sick .kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Down's Kidney Pills,
a medicine for the kidneys only, made
fron pure roots and herbs, and the
only one that is backed by cures in
Portland. Here's Portland testimony:
IV K. McCarver. living at 286 Hol
laday street. Portland, Or., iays: "Some
years ,ago Doan's Kidney Fills proved
of great benefit to me and I publicly
: recommended them. Since that time I
' have advieod many of my fellow work
, men to give tpem a ' trial and the re
. suits of . their use have been satlsfac-
tury in xvepr inctance. I believe kidc;
trouble In my case was brought on by
a cold contracted. I had bsckaches and
, other marked symptoms of disordered
kidneys, which caused me much suffer
ing. I bad always been, somewhat skep
tical regarding proprietary medicines
but somehow the claims made for
IVmn's Kidney Pill impressed me in

MEASURES TO BE VOTED ON
AT THE COMING CITY ELECTION
GARBAGE CREMATORY BONDS
Establishment of garbage incinerat
lngs plants that will take care of all
of Portland's refuse, at the same time
reducing the cost , of Its disposal and
doing away' with the menace of the rat
Infested dump t Guild's lake, are
sought by the issue of $150,000 worth
of crematory bonds. This Is one of
the charter amendments Jto be votod
on at the election lr. June, submitted
to the people by the city council.
The amendment proposed authorize
the issue of bonds to the amount ol
$150,000, to be redeemed in , 10 annual
Installments from the general fund
of the citybeginning July 1, 1910. The
council Is directed to pay all expertise
connected with the purcnase ot ana
for Sites, and the board of health la
intrusted with the purchase. Installa
tion and mangement of such plants as
may be determined upon by the coun
cil. The council is aumonzea to nx
the rate to be charged for the collec
tion and removal of garDage,
In 190 10,069 tons of garbage were
Wtnerated at the present plant ai
n,,M,r lake, and 85.000 tons were
dumped nearby. It being impossible
in run mom than the Quantity named
thrnnih the crematory, although it was
worked at full capacity. In other words
the capacity of the plant was equal
to less than one fourth of the garbage
collected. The plant was built to con
sume 26 tons per aay, out oy rorcin
it an average of nearly 30 tons Der
day for every day in the year was
attained.
Disease Breeding Bump.
I The Immense dump skirting the lake
I has become the breeding . ground for
millions of rats and therefore a place
for the breeding of disease. The board
! of health has repeatedly pointed out
'the danger to the public health if the
i bubonic plague should appear 'here. The
rats unquestionably scatter over the
citv. taking with them tne neas mat
may cause the deadly contagion. This
is the health side of the case.
The element of cost is another im
portant consideration. It cost Portland
11.56 per ton for the Incineration of
its garbage last year. With modern
plants it costs -Los Angeles 85 cents
per ton. Minneapolis 20 to 35 cents,
Atlanta 16 cents, and Seattle about .0
cents. The low cost in Atlanta Is
attributed to cheap labor and the high
cost in Seattle to the fact that the
crematorv there also takes -care of
ashis. The Los Angeles figure of S5
cents Is considered a fair criterion
of what Portland should do.
Oreaiiy Lowered Cost.
If this be correct, it would cost $17,
750 to incinerate the 46,000 tons of
garbage collected In Portland last year.
The sum actually paid for cremating
onlv 10.069 tons was $16,707.
The figures above given have nothing
to do with the cost of hauling. At
present the hauling Is done by privato
contractors, wno reguiaie ineir wwn
charges. It is reliably estimated that
trhe-average rnst of hauling Is $3 per
ton. or 1135.000 last year for 45.000
tons. The charter amendment provides
for regulation of charges by the city
coitficll, which It is believed :may ro
suit in substantial reduction in cost.
Another ...reduction In this expense will
result if a cremalory 1 establrshed on
the east side, thereby greatly shorten
inr the hauling distance.
The question of location is one that
1 as each section of the city has pro
tested against it. Citizens have beer,
fearful that unpleasant odors would
come from the smokestacks and per
meate the atmosphere where the gar
bage Is handled, thereby depreciating
the value of property.
Plenty fr Two Plants.
The appropriation provided by the
amendment is considered ample for the
construction of two plants, the ldsa
in the minds of those proposing It
being that a site should be chosen
on (each side of the river. The settle
ment of the disputed question of site
Is left entirely with the city council.
When that body decides, if a protest
is entered and legal action begun by
those believing themselves injured, the
courts will have to determine, fir.it
whether there Is any damage, second,
if there is, what sum should be paid
to those damaged, or, third, whether
the damage Is so great that, after con
sideration of all the circumstances
the location of the plant at the point
selected should be enjoined.
Proponents of the measure have datn
from other cities to show that the
modern incinerator does not fill the
atmosphere of the surrounding property
with unpleasant odors. In Seattle, for
Instance, there was protest at first.
