A RECEPTION LAST NIGHT
BishopBowman and Several Other
Prominent 31. E. Churchmen De
livered Interesting Ad
dresses. Last night the Norwegian Methodist
church in Uppcrtown was crowded with
"Metliodlaita and others who went there to
welcome the visiting members of the
Northwest Danish and Norwegian Con
ference, and particularly Bishop Bow
man, the senior bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church in America. The chur.?h
had been very prettily decorated for the
occasion by Pastor Nordvig and his peo
ple, and the proceedings throughout were
full of Interest.,; .
On ehe platform in addition to Rev.
Mr. Nordvig, were Bishop Bowman, Rev.
Mr. Hurlbert (chief of the Sunday school
division of tho M. E. church), and sev
eral other pastors. The following mem
bers of tho conference were present:
Bishop Bowman, St. Louis; Presiding
Elders Revs. C. J. Larsen, San Francisco;
C. N. Hauge, Helena, 'Mont.; E. J. Lun
dergard, Seattle, WasHi.; M. Nelson, Port
land, Or.; M. Hanse, Portland, Or.; P.
Walby, Butte, Mont.; P. M. Ellerson,
Everett, Waah.; M. J. Vaage, Falrhaven,
Wash.; August Peterson, Portland, Or.;
O. ilaagen, Aberdeen, Wash.; J. Thom
ason, Kelso, Wash.; N. L. Hansen, Great
Fuills, Mont.; J. Jacobsen, Oakland, Cal.;
J. Anderson, Tucoma, Waeti.
IRov. H. O. Nordvig, In a few vigorous
w-ords of welcome, announced his pleas
ure at being able to entertain Bishop
Bowman and the visiting delegates and
expressed the Gone that the conference
would result In an up-1'lfting of the In
terests of the Methodist Episcopal church
among the Norwegians of the Northwest.
'Rev. J. W. Bushong then came for
ward and said;'
Most 'Honored and Beloved Bishop Bow
man, Brethren of the Conference and
Friends, Greeting!
I count myself most happy to be per
mitted to stand upon this platform, In
this presence tonight to extend a wel
come to this body of men and women
to our little, but very inopeful city.
I know of no c'.U-'a of men and women
to whom I would rather cxttnd such a
welcome tli'am to a body of Methodist
ministers and their wives.
I think 'I can safely say I know of no
class of men, for their numbers, who
are doing eo much for the uplifting of
the race, as that of the Methodist mln
eitry! Neither do I know cf any body of men
more loyal to their conviction! of right
and duty.
Neither do I know of any body of men
and women who are more self-sacrificing
In the discharge of their duties.
The days of heroic service for the Mas
ter are not those Alone of the early
"Pioneer Preachers," but they can be
found all allong this northwest coast.
There are preachers before me tonight,
and with families, .too, who have done
heroic, uncomplaining service during the
past year for loss than f'XX). Mind you,
these cu'me men could have earned a very
corrrfortablo living in some secular em
ployment; but they chose 1'iihcr to suf
fer w'lthi a .meagre support in the Mas
ter's service than in luxury out of It.
Therefore, beloved, I take the greater
pleasure In extending to you a most
hearty welcome to our city, our homes,
and our hearts. Welcome, thrice wel
come, all.
I want to speak for you an unusually
good time during your stay in our midst.
You will, I think, 'find many things
here gotten up upon a grand and great
scale. Mere is tho majestic Columbia,
some Bieven miles wide opposite this
church bearing upon It's bosom the com
merce of all nations.
Here in sHght of this church are the
lofty peaks of the cou'st range, ever tell
ing us of the Mighty Hand that formed
them.
And the Great Pacific, whose health
giving waters .are ever washing the feet
of our city, and her breezes send coursing
through every vein their life-giving cur
re.r.'ts. All of those aro ever reminding
us that there la no place for littleness
here. ,
'And my observation and experience
with the people of Astoriai ha been thnt
they have caught the lesson and in
spiration of their environments. A more
generous and hospitable people I never
associated with.
And now dear end venerable Bishop
Bowman I ta.ke special pleasure In ex
tending to you and through you to this
conference the right hand of fellowship
and welcome, and will ever pray for your
future peace and happinesn.
I do this more cheerfully because 1
know:
"We nil pirtake the joy of one;
The common peace v.e feel;
A peace to sensual minis unknown.
And If our fellowship below,
. In Jesus be so sweet,
What heights of rapture shall we know
When round his throne we meet."
Rev. C. J. Larsen, of California, in re
ply to the welcome of the two Aatorla
pastors, spoke In a. most Interesting man
ner. He closed his remarks by saying:
"If anybody had toM me fifteen yeara
a.TO, when we built the flrit church on
the Pacific Coast, at O.iklund, that we
should ' be met In conference here to
night, representatives of a great section
of our church, and presided over by the
senior btahop ot the denomination, 1
would hardly have belle-red him. Rut
within that short space of time hun
dreds of thousands of people who have
settled down west of the Rockies have
Joined our army and enrolled themselves
under our banner."
Kev. Dr. Hurlbert, secretary of the
..,-.... 4,... 1,AA1 k
, lea, and superintendent of all M. E.
Sunday schools, followed with a tow
.words. Ho said that though he had
' spoken In almost every state anl territo-
ry of the union, he had never before
had the pltasure of addressing an audi
I ence In Ohe Pacific Northwest, nor hud
i he ever been further from his New York
: office on the American continent than
I he was at present. He commented at
I 10m) length on the broad character And
' wtv Ambitions of the Methodist church
! and sihowed how Its plans covered every
I phase of clvlllaatlon, Some denomina
tions made a specialty as It were of
hospitals, some of educational growth,
others of orphanages and charitable In
i etltutlons. But tho Methodist church
; had every one of these appendages, and
traohed qual Importance to all. Some
denominations tittered to the higher
classes of society, othe:'i to the great
middle class, and still others, like theJ
Solvation Army, to the very lowest. The
j M. E. church on the other hand, reached
right down through all the social leve.s.
Its plans wore wide and they stretched
round the. world. There were pastors
Treading the gospel under the Hag of
Methodism In eleven different '.angiages
In rhfcs country alone. Dr. Hurlbert In
conclusion said: "There are more
schools and colleges under our control
Jtu.i In ' any two other denominations
put together. Many of our brothers It
Is truo have a hard time to g;t along,
but that Is easily accounted for. We
aro reaching out all the time. We arc
building three new churches every week
and founding forty Sunday schools every
month. We ore grasping new fields,
spending all we get and wanting more,
and yet I feel that In some wonderful
way the Church Is sustained and sup
ported. I believe in all denominations,
every one ot them. They have thjlr work
to do and are doing It nobly. I am proud
to he here tonlgM among the men who
have met the tide of immigration In this
far western country, with the Bible In
their hands, and who have won over the
sottlcrs In these distant lands to God
and His religion.
Bishop Bowman followed Dr. Hurlbert
but disclaimed any Intention of making
a speech. After a few humorous words
with reference to himself and his trip
to the coast, he spoke of his visit to
Norway and Sweden In 1878, and how he
recognized some faces at the present
conference he had seen during his travels
In Europe. "I came through here," he
said, "In 1877. "Brother Bushong wasn't
here then, hut the salmon were holding
the fort Just like tney are doing now.
In that year we had Just two confer
ences In this part of the world, with a
total membership of 6,349. When I caine
again in 1867 wo had four conferences,
with 16,449 members, and I find on my
trip this year that we have six confer
ences with a total membership of H9.10S,
truly a magnificent showing as a result
of the earnest labors of the workers In
our church."
At the conclusion of the hlshop's re
marks all the visiting ministers with
their families, were entertained in the
basement of the church by the ladles ot
the congregation and delicate refresh
ments were served.
This morning at 9 o'clock Bishop Bow
man will conduct a communion service
In the church. Dr. Hurlhert will deliver
a most Interesting address on the "Sun
day Schools of the M. K. Church, Their
Extent and Aims," this morning, and a
very large number of pe iple will' no doubt
be present to hear him. The afternoon
will be taken up by Epworth League
subjects to he handled by Revs. AValby
and Ellison, and at 8 o'clock this even
ing Rev. Mr. Waage will preach.

of telephone and telegraph poles be re
considreed. The remarks of different
members of the council were in support

would cost $1.00 each to paint them, and
as there are about 1000 poles in the city
It would be a heavy tax as the company
would have to charge the cost to con
sumers. The mayor thought that the
city Should soon take hold of the whole
question and run It themselves. Motion
was made and carried that the resolution
be reconsidered.
Communication was read from Judge

What Astoria Will Do in the
Fishery Exhibit.
WILL SERVE TO PROMOTE
Harmonious Relations Between
Portland and Astoria Details of
the Plans Fully Outlined.
Trooably the most important of the
r.ew departures being made by the Ore
gon Industrial exposition 1s in the dlrec
tlon of a fish exhibit. This great indus
try, bringing into the state more than
$a,000,000 unnuaily, and giving employ
ment to more than 4,000 persons, has
never been adequately represented at
any fair held in Oregcn. Tho only effort
made to gather up a full representation
of tho salmon Industry wasi by the
world's fair commission, and a good ex
hibit was sent to Chicago. A far better
cne is being collected for the exposi
tion, which opens its doors next month,
and the great industry which is the
foundation of Astoria's prosperity and
adds so much to the income of the state,
will be shown In such a way as to im
press visitors with Its magnitude and Im
portance. Na'turally, In making this exhibit, As
toria takes the first place. Sir. Pag ie,
In whose department the fish, exhibit will
be made, after correspondence on the
subject, sent L. L. Merrick to visit the
nerries and see what could toe done in
the matter. At Astoria, when the citi
zens realized that the fair was a general
one, for the whole state, and that the
effort to secure a fish exhibit waj being
made In earnest, took hold of the matter
with enthusiasm, and the result will
ba that the Columbia seaport will have
hr industries represented at the exposi
tion in a mcst creditalhle manner. Not
enly will salmon in all forma as pre
pared for market be sent up toy Samuel
Elmore, J. O. Hanthorn & Co., Cutting
Packing Co., and Astoria Packing Com
pany, but the Pacific Can Company will
exhibit cans; Kerney Bros., cooper's pro
ducts; the North Pacific Brewerey, bot
tled beer, and the Astoria Box Company
and Clatsop Mills, boxes and woods. In
addition to this Mr. .1. W. Welch, Foard
& Stokes, and Howell & Ward are be
stirring themselves to procure a fine ex
hibit of the celebrated dairies of Clatsop
county. All these exhibits will be es
pecially welcome and will serve to pro
mote the harmonious relations the busi
ness men of Portland desire to maintain
with the people of the city at the mouth
cf the river, with which Portland Is
so soon to be connected by rai.
Mr. Pague has already planned the ar
rangement of the fish exhibit. There
have been contribute.! 92 cases of salmon
by fie firms enumerated, and by J. &
V. Cook, of Clifton; B. A. Seaborg, ot
Ilwaco; F. K. Warren, of Warrendale;
and I. H. Taffe? of Celi'.o; also salmon
in all other marketable forms. This dis
play win be given the post of honor in
the very center of the state and county
department. A huge pyramid, 12 feet
high, win be constructed of the cans
and other forms of packed fish, and- the
top crowned by a huge, stuffed specimen
of the royal chlnook. About the pyra
mid and suspended from the rafters over
head, will be a full-sized ftehing boat,
wii.'n tail set and fully equipped for fish
ing. Regular nets win be festooned
about the exhibit for ornamental pur
poses. These will not he Imitation af
fairs, but both boat and nets will be
ones 'that have been used this season in
apprehending the finny prizes of the Col
umbia. As artificial propagation has now be
come su.-h an important adjunct of the
salmon industrj, it win be given a prom
inent place in the exhibit. On one side
of the pyramid will he troughs contain
ing salmon eggs, which wild begin to
hatch before The fair is over, and on the
other side will be similar small fry,
swimming about as lively as though they
had Just been turned into the Clackamis
or Kama from the big hatcheries, and
were looking tor the trail leading down
the chain of rivers to the ocem. This
portion of the exhibit will be especially
interesting, and the entire display of
this great Oregon Industry will be Im
pressive and instructive, and to most
who see it, novel and highly entertain
ing. FURNISHED ROOMS WITH BOARD.

purpose being to confer with the citizens

Important matter should be presented to

would place the upper Willamette in
excellent condition for navigation the en

the river open an annual appropriation
of a fixed sum is necessary, then the
