"The first, church was organized at West Union," Mr. Bentzein continued. "Seven Baptists met and organized on May 25. 1844. For 25 years the his tory, of Baptists In Oregon was the his tory of the church at West Union. It may be added that all the subsequent history of our denomination in the city Is closely linked with this mother, or iM'-n(h- f.f ch'irf'ies. In the present beautiful edifice of which our Northern '..vi. 1'c. .i . aii i ion Ik to meet this year. "The acquisition of half a block on Alder street, between Fourth and Fifth, may be regarded as the first item of Baptist history in Portland. This prop erty, donated for church purposes In 1850, was for 30 years occupied exclu sively by the Baptist house of worship Rev. C. R. Blackall. D. D. Rev. A. J. Rowland, D. D. and then was sold in 1S93 for $150,000. The proceeds with added contributions enabled the church to buy the north half of the block on Taylor and Twelfth streets, whloh It now occupies, for $52, 000, and to erect its present church building, known as the White Temple, at a cost of $110,000. This building was dedicated July 8. 189 4, during the pastorate of Dr. Roland D. Grant. "In the meantime a church was or ganized during 1879 on the enst bank of tne Willamette. Calvary church was organized in 18S0. Now the Germans and the Chinese Baptists have churches here. The membership Is growing at a remarkable rate and the newer churches are becoming powerful organizations. We expect the convention to be an epoch In our local history." WTiy, Oh, Why? Farmers In the Dakota must ride or walk at least a mile to their neigh bors, sometimes a greater distance. It Is hard to understand why this Incon venience is put up with, when thes'! same men can buv a 6 or 1ft acre tract In the Broadrnead farmslte .-:i'iated In Yamhill and Polk counties at from $100 to $160 per acre. From these 5 or 10 acres they can get just as good a liv ing as they can off a whole section in Dakota, Invest less money and hall their next door neighbor from their door yards. Broadmead Is on the Southern Pacific and it is one of the prettiest acreage tracts ever put up for sale In the stato of Oregon. The Columbia Trust com pany of Portland Is handling It. COL. WOOD ENDORSES PROPOSED CHARTER WITH SIX IN COUNCIL ' PORTLAND : SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE . Portland, June 5. To the Editor of the Journal I would like to add my vojee in favor of the proposed new charter. v The people were well represented on the charter committee by men like Richard Montague, Dr. Chapman, Mr. Uynerson and Henry McOttnn. I have carefully examined the charter and while it is not Just what I would like nor perhaps what any radical would like. It is a great advance over the present charter and the people's interests aro well protected. There is not time now to discuss it In detail, but the thing which seems to make most people hesitate is the very thing which is most In Its favor. In my opinion. The power of administration Is vested in six councllmen. The Gal veston plan and tho DeB Moines plan both proceed on a concentration of power and responsibility and Invariably they are Improvements over the old plan. Is the old plan (our present plan) so successful that we should be afraid to change it? Do we get such great ability; such fine results that we should hesitate to change? Is It not easier to selet six good men than 15 Easier to watch six men than 15? -Easier to recall six men than 15? Is there not more simplicity, solidity, quickness and sense of responsibility in six than in 15? The executive power of the United States is all in one man, and the authors of our constitution refused every suggestion to divide responsibil ity. ' The great corporations vest con trol in practically one man and hold him responsible. He cannot shift the blame. It is all up to him. Portland Is not a field for party politics, It Is a great business corporation and should he in the hands of some very few cap hu men. who can be held responsible or results. The Pennsylvania railroad may have a large board of directors, but the work is all done by a very small executive board, who are held responsible for results. The real power Is in two or three men. What Is good business for the corporations should be good business for Portland as a busi ness corporation. We can recall the ones we disapprove and we can put our fingers on the right man which now we cannot do. And bythe present wretched system of ward election or oouacllmen, a council man is independent of the body of (it liens at large If only he can control his ward. I have heard objections to the pro posed charter because If Mr. Simon la elected It will put power In his hands. If the principle is right never mind the man. Is it not better to have Mr. Simon where we can hold him strictly responsible than to have him where he can In fact be dictator, yet evade the open responsibility? Mr. Simon's enemies are very kind to him. He could not run the opposl tion better himself. With the opposing forces divided into headless fragments Mr. Simon will win but the charter la bigger than Mr. Simon, and will out last him. It puts a far stronger check on betrayal of the people than does the present charter, and If there be those who fear Mr. Simon In office I say they are the very ones who should be anxious to have the proposed charter In operation. I make no reflection on Mr. Simon, but I am trying to empha sise that the centering of responsibility by the proposed charter in the hands of a rew men is tne very inmg wnicn win enable the people to watch their trus tees more easily and hold them to ac count more certainly. I hope all the plain people who fell what a plunder ground the modern city has been will vote "Yes" for the new charter. C. E. S. WOOD. 1. 0. 0. F. WILL HONOR IIS DEAD The I. O. O.

The Excise Bill The excise board amendment ballot No. 161 provides for taking the liquor traffic out of politics by placing Its su pervlslon in an excise board Instead of the council. It prohibits breweries from operating saloons and selling liquors In competition with the regular licensed saloonkeeper. It prohibits women, chairs and amusements in saloons. It prohibits hotels and restaurants from serving liquors In private rooms and boxes. It prohibit grills, hotels and restaurants from serving mixed drinks, such as cocktails doped with liquor, the stuff the bad man gives to his girl friend. The old cry. "It will hurt busi ness" Is always sot up when you at tempt to regulate the liquor "traffic. This amendment. If adopted, will not hurt the decent hotel business, the de cent restaurant business nor the orderly saloon business. If you want any other proof that you should vote for the excise board amendment go any night to the entrance of some hotel grill between 10 p. m. and 1 o'clock in the morning, ob serve the number and condition of the women who come out of that place. The Oregon grill Is conducted by Mr. Dick inson, wso Is making the principal fight against this amendment PORTLAND MUNICIPAL, ASS'N. W. F. EDWARDS, Secretary. Paid Advertisement.
