THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8. 1815. ERECTION OF FIRST METHODIST BUILDING IN CITY IS RECALLED Father Flinn First Witness Called by Insurgents in Suit Over Church Division. HISTORY'S PAGES TURNED Witness Bju Wlua Funds for Frsssnt Chnreh Were Raised Janitor Stood on Head on Spire. Reminiscences of the erection of the first building occupied by a Methodist Episcopal church in Portland over 64 years ago were told by Father John Flinn, 90 years old, in' Circuit Judge Gatens' court this morning. Father Flinn was the first witness called by the "Insurgents" in trial of their suit against the First Methodist Episcopal church to force the use again of the Taylor street church. Third and Taylor streets, for church purposes. "I came to Portland September 19, 1850," said Father Flinn, "and at the time the first church to be erected at Third and Taylor streets was mostly built. Father Wilbur was the mission ary in charge and lived in the parson age on the corner of Third and Tays-or streets, which faced Taylor street. He was building the church which was just below the parsonage facing Taylor street also, "Until October. 1850, we used the schoolhouse on Third street for serv ices. On the opening day of the new church a Congregationallst minister preached the morning sermon, I preached the afternoon sermon and Father Wilbur preached in the evening. Walks to Salem. "December 24, 18E5, 1 started for Salem on foot, arriving the following day, and remained there until William Roberts, superintendent of -missions, appointed me to the Portland circuit embracing the country from Portland to Corvallia. Attorney Martin Pipes Intimated that Father Flinn might have remem bered the day of his trip to Salem by such an incident as a fall into the river but Father Flinn did not reply to the question implied. Father Flinn said he was superan nuated as a minister 10 years ago, be cause people thought he was too' old "to preach. "But I didn't think so," he continued, laughing; and the crowd listening to the trial laughed with him, for his voice was firm, his hearing food and his memory remarkable for a man of his years. He said that at the time of the building of the First Methodist church in Portland there was but one other of the denomina tion, at Oregon City, in the territory r.ow embraced by Oregon and Wash ington. Pioneer Merchant Witness. F. S'. Akin, a pioneer shoe merchant, who came to Oregon at the age of 10 years in 1852, testified that the prop erty had always been used for church purposes, and told early history of the original wooden church and the erec- said that Sunday school children se cured funds for the spire of the pres ent church, and that when it was com pleted a janitor named Ormsby stood on his head on the peak of the spire. Mr. Akin said the original build ing was moved around to Second street when the new structure was built and was rented to an undertaking estab lishment and a cement dealer. He said a two story building was moved to the property from some place and that the Pacific Christian Advocate used that building. He said that he did not believe the rentals more than paid expenses. He also said the par sonage was moved to the inside lot of Third street and rented to a tomb stone maker. . Mr. Akin said when ITe came to Portland the only other churches in the city were a Catholic church at Third and Stark streets and a Congregationallst church. Mr. Akin was ror years an orncer of the Taylor Street M. E. church. Early History Recalled. Memoirs of Harvey W. Scott, a book by Joseph Gaston, the "Brady" map of early Portland and early court de cisions were brought up In which references were made to early Port land history, especially touching upon, the early history of Taylor Street church. When court adjourned for noon Attorney W. Y. Masters was on the stand relating work he had done In investigating the early history of the church property from a legal Ktandpoint. The hearing was resumed at 2 o'clock. The courtroom was crowded with over 150 members of both factions of the church. The suit resulted from the consolidation of the Grace and Taylor Street churches into the- First M. E. church and the pro posed abandonment of the Taylor street property as a site for religious worship that it might be sold or leased. An Overcoat BEN SELLING .

The highest death rate was. in Mem phis, Tena, with 20.8 per thousand. According to City Health Officer Marcellus Seattle had a lower stand ardized death rate in 1913 than Port land because of her larger and more effective health department.

"Seattle." he said this morning, "has a much larger department than we have and spends more money to In crease her health standard. That is the .only way I can account for her heading the list."

PAVING BILL VILL BE CONTESTED AT SALEM BY MEN OF PORTLAND Roadmaster and Others Con sider Bingham Act Vicious v One, Favored by Trust, WOULD END ROAD WORK County Commissioner Declares Meas ure Would Put Stop to All Sard Surfacing in Multnomah. County Roadmaster John B. Yeon and a number of others interested in the improvement of highways of Mult nomah county will go to Salem this afternoon to enter a protest against the passage of the Bingham paving bill, which is to have a public hearing tonight before the senate' committee on highways. The bill is generally con sidered a vicious one in the Interest of the paving trust. If it should become a1 law it is claimed that it would pre vent any further road improvement in Multnomah county as is proposed. In effect, it is said, the law would compel county courts to contract for inferior pavements, prohibiting them from considering quality. For example, if it were desired to lay a wooden block pavement, bids would have to be received for wooden blocks treated with creosote and blocks not so treated. As the latter would natur ally be submitted at lower.bid the county court would be forced to take them, although their Judgment would be that the creosoted blocks would give the best value. "If the Bingham bill should become a law," said W. L. Lightner, chairman of the Multnomah county board of commissioners, today, "it would put a stop to all of our contemplated im provements, as it would be impossible for us to exercise our own judgment in the selection of a pavement." Roadmaster Yeon takes a similar view. He said: VWhy change the present law, which permits open and free bidding. There should be no restrictions. Every type of pavement should e allowed to com pete and the county commissioners should not be prohibited from select ing the type they think will give the best value. If the Bingham bill should be passed by the legislature it can safely be predicted that there will be lIltiOVATICW Wardrobe Trunks Are Always the Best 1915 models now here in all sizes.
