The jubilee a Success, Ending with the Church Out of Debt The Jubilee service of tbe M. E. church of this city yesterday was an all day Buccess. It began with a double service in the morning with a forty minute social session. President Cole man of Willamette University preached a splendid Bermon, and was followed by J. W. Powell, of Buffab, N. Y., whose special mission is the raising of ohuroh debts. He is all right. At 3 o'olock in thealternoon a Sunday Sohool eervioe was held, at which Mr. Powell' waB tbe principal epeaker. At night Dr. Ford, Presiding Elder, delivered tbe sermon, Mr. Powell spoke a third time and Dr. Wire, tbe popular pastor of tne church for over 8 years, gave a history of the Albany church. This showed the pio gresa of the church for fifty years. A Methodist claes of workers was organ ized in Albany in 1851 by A. J. and Samuel Hyde and others, but it was in January, 1853, when Rev. Isaac Oillion, according to the records, began preach ing here as the first pastor. The Hydes run a hotel near tbe O. & E. wharf and warehouse, in which services were held. In 1857 the first church was erected at the situ of Judge Flinn's present home. A lew years later t&e cnurcn was movea to the present Bite of the church, in 1890 being succeeded by the present fine building. Some of tbe ablest preachers in the Northwest have filled the pulpit. The membership has increased to 275, the oldest being Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Westfall. A debt of about $2500, about $3,100 with interest, remained on tbe church. The board holding the loan , forgave the interest. It was Mr. Powell's mission to secure the liquidation of this debt. He not only did this, but obtained a big balance, a total of over $3700 being pledged in bonds, during the day. The bonds are of the denomination of $24, payable weekly, monthly or yearly in two years, with 6 percent interest on payments deferred beyond a certain period. The balance will probably be Increased ana a basement be placed under the church. It was a great day for the M. E, church.

One of the delivery teams ran away Saturday evening just alter dark, leaving the wagon in the Southern part of the city and ruoning differrent ways until finally the stablea on First street were reached. The Springfield saw mill is now ready for business. There was more building done in Prineville laBt year than for five years previously.
