CONFERENCE HAS BEEN HELD Concern Wants Franchise for Collection of Garbage and Its Manufacture Into Fuel. Disposition of Portland's garbage -and Its ultimate consumption as fuel in stove and furnace i an early pos Hibility as a result of a conference held this morning between City Com missioner Eigelow and proponents of several different methods of dis posing of waste materials. Municipal collection of garbage was , In the background while the authorities : lebated ways and means of disposal of wastafce, but those who propose to manu facture fuel from garbage have submit ted in detail a plan for conducting the garbage collection and of operating the municipal Incinerator free of cos; to the city for the privilege of establishing . a plant and manufacturing fuel at the incinerator. i The Northwest Fuel company, a Cali fornia concerji, has entered its em phatic request for a franchise to operate the garbage collection system and to j manufacture fuel therefrom and today ' submitted samples of its product made from garbage. The fuel that would re I suit from the reclamation system is 'composed, approximately, of two parts of garbage to one of a combination of x coal waste, tar and other materials of ' slight value. It Is said to be equal to coal and to be far more economic than coat or wood, resembling other manu factured heat producers. Commissioner Bigelow holds little . faith in other proposals, such as that to 4 segregate the garbage, disposing of that ' part available for hops and that serv iceable to paper manufacturers and like reclamation agencies.

PA PORTLAND - &L ? it: - When he adopted an aggressive church advertising campaign the greatest num ber of words and letters of criticisms came from other ministers, declared Dr. K. H. Stivers, Eugene pastor, addressing the Portland Ad club at the Benson hotel Wednesday afternoon. "Newspaper advertising is the most effective both for business and for churches," added Dr. Stivers, discussing the most effective mediums for publicity. He took exception to the method of the pastor who asks, "Is it will with your soul?" "Most men approached that way don't know they have a soul," declared he, "I don't think it does any good, either, to paint texts on rocks and fences along the highways." Dr. W. W. Willard of the First Con gregational church said that he believed every church ought to have a director of publicity. Dr. W. B. Hinsori of the East Side Baptist church, Dr. Joshua Stafisfield, of the First Methodist, and Dr. Edward H. Penceof the Westmin ister Presbyterian church agTeed that presented the request of the campaign committee for the use or tne ouuaing. it was the committee's plan to pre sent Frank Branch Riley and his fa mous Northwestern educational stuay to Portland school children and others for the benefit of the women's building fund. The council decided that the educational feature of the address could not be held sufficient excuse for ap propriating rental charges for The Auditorium. PORTLAND IS POWERFUL . The city of Portland, in some respects, has more "power" than the United States government A decision affirm ing the fact was rendered informally at the regular meeting of the city council this morning by Mayor Baker in re sponse to the urgent demand for infor mation made by an unidentified woman visitor, who sought to base her objec tion to street improvements upon that point. Mayor Baker thought to placate his questioner by telling her that in some respects the city's power supersedes that of the federal government, and when his response proved highly unsat isfactory, he was forced to invite the guest who declined to leave her name to his office for a complete explanation of municipal powers.
