In view of the approaching ses
sion of the Oregon conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
to be held in Salem this week, it
is of interest to recall the fact
that Jnst 50 years ago, or to be
exact, August 29, 1872, the con
ference convened In Salem.
The sessions were held in the
chapel of Willamette university.
It. was a historic session.
It is remembered that at one
meeting the sum of $20,000 was
pledged In behalf of the univer
sity. One of Salem's citizens in
looking over some of his old pa
pers recently found a printed .list
of the members of the 1872 con
ference, together with the names
of the homes in Salem at which
they were entertained daring their
stay In the city.
Below Is appended this old di
rectory of the '72 conference and
the homes to which the ministers
were assigned In Salem during
theh session, the publication of
which may prove of Interest to
many of Salem's old . citizens of
the Methodist faith.
Rev. L. M. Nlckerson was in
charge of the Salem church at
that time. He was succeeded that
year, as per appointment of Bish
op Foster, by Rev. Stephen Bow
ers. .

Association, Vote at Meet
ing Yesterday
There will be no bolting of the

resolution pledging to the dlrec-
tor and management of the as
sociation Its hearty cooperation in
making the cooperative movement
a success.
Reversal Explained
This complete reversal of atti
tude on the part of local mem
bers of ths association, who' are
said to have been greatly dis
satisfied with their experience In
the organization, was due to as
surances on the part of members
of the board of directors that an
immediate improvement tn the
condition of the association could
be expected. This Improvement,
it was explained, should appear
In the Increased size of the week
ly egg checks as received by the
association members.
F. C. Schroeder, president of
the association and acting gene
ral manager since the dismissal
of TJ. L. Upson early In July, told
the members at the meeting here
Saturday of numerous changes
which have been effected in the
handling and marketing of their
product which would Insure them
better returns for -their eggs. .
Improvement Predicted
Mrs. Grant Brown of Beaver
ton, recently elected a member of
the board of 'directors, expressed
ber belief In an Immediate Im
provement of the affairs of the
association based upon changes
which have just been placed in
effect in the Portland office
through wlch the eggs of the 1S00
association members are handled
and marketed.
1 E. Dixon, Portland commis
sion man who has Just assumed
the management of the egg asso
ciation, declared) his confidence
in his ability to return associa
tion members a price for their
eggs fully as good, if not better,
than that received by non-members,
i
T Snow Pleads for TJnlty

Ministers of Oregon Confer
ence Assemble Tuesday
and Will Spend Week in
Church Business.
HISTORICAL SETTING
FURNISHED BY CITY
Addition of The Dalles Dis
trict Adds Largely to
1 Territory Covered
The first Methodist conference
on the Pacific ccast was held in
Salem In 1849. There were then
about seven ministers and no
bishop in charga, covering all the
way from San Francisco to Puget
sound.
The conferenca that meets in
Salem Tuesday, September 3, is
but one of almost a dozen divis
ions that now serve the original
"Oregon and California Mission
conference."
Great Increase Shown
' This one division has 20 times
as many members as the first his
toric Salem gathering for the
whole Pacific coast. The church
has grown raarvelously in wealth,
In numbers and In strength. Per
haps only in the matter of vision
has it not gained ground on the
original pioneers. ,. The vision of
those old-timers led them by ox
team, by sailing1 ship around Cape
Horn, bV malarial caravan across
the hbstile isthmus, manv thous
ands ot miles to what was then
literally a howling wilderness to
plant the gospel and the starry
flag in a new and wondrous land
that most of them had seen only
by the eye of undying faith.
Building Fifty Years Old
The present conference Is to
convene in the First Methodist
church of Salem, a building, erect
ed SO years ago, and that is to
day rated as one of the finest old
Gothic structures' in American
church history.
The local church has grown
from a membership of two in 1849
to more than 11 DO in First church
and more than, TOO in the other
Methodist churche3 of the city,
Leslie and Jason Lee. There
isn't a log church on the whole
coast, so far as recorded. In
1819 almost all were ot logs.
New District Added.
The) present conference Is to
be greatly augmented in size over
dt strength; a yeajr ago. ; The
Dalles district, that covers most
of central and the east-of-the-Cascades
part of Oregon, has been
affiliated with the Columbia River
conference In Washington. This
year it is to come permanently
into the Oregon conference, with
about 30 ministers and more than
half, the area of the state. It
makes a total ministerial mem
bership ef nearly 170 for the con
ference. - Citizens Offer Homes
Entertainment is being provid
ed partly in' private homes, and
partly in Lausanne ball of Wil
lamette university, that will care
far about 100 guests. Homes
have been secured for all the min
isterial (visitors, but a consider
able number of lay delegates will
be here towards the last of the
week who have not yet been lo
cated. An urgent call is being
sent out for more homes to care
for the out-of-town visitors. A
phone message offering rooms to
Rev. Blaine Kirkpatrick, phone
973, will be acknowledged, and
guests assigned as the host or
hostess may ask. r
Street MeeUngs Innovation
An Innovation Is to be present
ed this year In the way of street
meetings each evening at 6:45,
probably at Liberty and State.
Some of the best men of the con
ference have; been jFccured for
these evangelistic services. , ,

PAN-AMERICA, Friday, Sept. 1.
(By Wireless to the Associated
Press). When the Bteamer Pan
America crossed the Equator to
day, Neptune held his usual court
tq try those who never before had
entered his domain.
Charles E. Hughes, the Ameri
can secretary of state and other
members of the American mis
sion who are proceeding to Brazil
for the centennial, were tried for
numerous crimes and misdemean
ors. Mr. Hughes was accused of
boisterous conduct, loud laughter
and antique jokes and of having
undermined the prestige of Nen-
tune by scrapping battleships. Mr.
Hughes pleaded guilty to all
counts of the indictment against
him, but be called attention to the
fact that Neptune now was a ruler
In the kingdom of peace instead
of in the kingdom of war.
Major General Robert Lee Bul-
lard was compelled to go through
the manual of arms on conviction
of the charge laid against him.

all but been forgotten in the ef
fort being made to reach .the 47
men who since last Sunday night
have been entombed in the lower
levels of the Argonaut mine.

cipal if not the. only business ot
this little city until the 47 men
have been brought to the iurface,
alive or dead. i s
Federal Engineer Coming
D. Harrington of Denver, Colo.,,
supervising engineer of the U. S.
bureau of mines. Is on his way
here and expected to arrive Mon
day to take charge ot the rescue

It was announced tonight by
officials in charge of the rescue
crews that 60 feet of greenstone
and about 19 feet of "virgin
ground remained between' the
4200-foot level of the Argonaut
mine shaft and the excavators who
are working in an old tunnel which
once connected the Kennedy mine
with the Argonaut. It la estimat
ed that it will require another
week of continuous labor to reach
the entombed men.
Gas Reduced
An analysis of gases in .the Ar
gonaut mine today showed there
had been a reduction in the
amount of suffocating gas. The
amount which previously analyzed
a few days ago was 8 per cent of
the total gases present. Today
it was 3 1-10 per cent, which in
dicated, chemists said, that fresh
air from sqme source was getting
into the Argonaut mine. Fear
was expressed, however, t j"that
there may hare been too. much
of thLi gas in the . mine when
the men were first entombed tff
