CONFERENCE OF SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS The meeting of the Sunday school workers of this city, held at the Bap tist church parlors Wednesday even ing, was well attended. The ladles of tho church served supper to 62 people at 6:30, which was, to put it mildly, one of the pleasing features of the occasion. This was an inno vation in these Sunday school con ferences, but encouraged by the suc cess of this experiment the county officers of the state Sunday School association, who have planned these conferences, will make It a perman ent fenture. Stimulated by the fine supper, the after dinner speeches by those who had been asked to prepnre some- I thing for tho occasion as well as many extemporaneous ones, left not ono dull moment In tho two hours that Interevened before separating, when expression of appreciation were beard on every side and no doubt future conferences will be better at tended nnd greater Interest nnd en thusiasm aroused than at this meet ing. Thero were two principal subject? up for discussion during tho evening, that of "Teachers' Training" being led by Rev. Frederic Brooko and R. K. Hackett, and was followed up by T. P. Cramer, Mrs. J. Pardee, Rev. D. H. Leech and Rev. Robt. McLean. The subject of the "Rlblo Class" created animated discussion, which was led by J. E. Hair nnd H. H. Basler, A. V. nannard, Mrs. Caldwoll, Reverends McLean and Brooke, nnd others present giving their views on the topic. A union teachers' meeting Bnd also a union teachers' training class will probably be one of the results of this meeting. The conference has been invited to hold Its next meeting at the New man M. K. church. The Clnstcr Light System. The street paving ordinance pro vides that all electric light poles, telephone and telegraph poles shall be removed from tho streets which are to be paved and the wires put underground. There is a movement on foot to have the cluster light sys tem adopted. This system ronslMs In having Iron standards nine or ten feet high with five lights on each, which makes up the cluster. There are three of these standards on each block and they do splendid service. The Initial cost of this system may ho a trifle more than the arc lights, but Innsmuch as the custom is to run the cluster of ftve lights to only 12 o'clock at night, when the police will turn a switch and shut off four of the lights on each standard, which will reduce cost below that of the other light. Roseburg has adopted this system and It gives the best of satisfaction. Med ford talked of putting in the cluster lights but at the time the paving was accomplished they failed to come to an understanding In the matter and nothing as done, much to the regret of a lare majority of the people. True the chance can be made, but It can not be done without greater expense thsn would have been required If put In at first. This U a vr-y important matter and we t runt that the council will feel Justified In adopting this system of lUht. All up to-dste cities In the east use the cluster lkhts and if Grants Pars should adopt this plan of lighting the streets will he i source of pride to every cltlfcn. Tas ConrUr 4 innts for 60s.
