That Rev. D. H. Leech will re
main in Albany as the pastor of the
First Methodist church for the com
ing year, became known at the fourtli
quarterly conference of the church,
which was held here last night.
The fact that Rev. Leech is to be
retained was made emphatic in a
unanimous request adopted in a res
olution for bis return as pastor of
the church for the coming year. This
was the re-sult of the fact that the
annual conference of the church
meets in Eugene September 24, when
appointments will be made for the
year.
Rev. Leech has had charge of the
church during the past year and dur
ing his residence here he has made
many friends, who no doubt will be
elated to learn that he is to remain
here. Good ministers are in demand
everywhere and it was carrying out
this desire at the local church that
Rev. Leech's return was urgently re
quested.
The meeting was presided over by
the district superintendent, Rev. j.
T. Abbott, of Eugene. There was a
large attendance with every depart
ment of the church represented. Re
ports were made and resolutions were
adopted commending the work of the
pastor, Rev. Leech, and the district
superintendent.

JUSTICE CONTINUES THAW
CASE UNTIL NEXT THURSDAY
New York Sheriff Arrived To
day With Requisition Papers.
May Go To Governor.
A peer to Road Sunervisincr Younir,
of the Bohemian district, who recent
ly elated the county court when it
discovered that he could build Rood
mountain roads at $500 a mile, has
been found. 1 his one is Mike Keb
blebeck, also of Cottage Grove, who
has rebuilt 33 miles of mountain road
for $500, from Crowbar Point to the
summit of the Cascade range on the
old Military Willamette road. Sev
eral months ago he was given $500
and told to distribute it as widely as
possible over the 33 miles of road.
The road was becoming almost im
passible in many places; the amount
of money was rediculously small.
Jack Maglardy, who returned with
the Kelly party over this road a few
days ago, yesterday reported the re
sults of the $500 improvement. He
declares that with six men this road
supervisor has made a splendid high
way. Rocks have been blasted from
the road which for miles runs along
the steep cliff,, with a bank on one
side and a precipice on the other.
Along the bank, he has ditched the
road for miles to prevent the water
running off on the outside, and cut
ting it narrower. He is very warm
in his praise of the present condition
of the road.
"This highway," said Mr. Maglar
dy. "is second in importance to the
.McK-enzie road over the mountains.
With the scenic lakes along the sum
mit of this mountain reached bv this
route,, and with the directions of this
road to Crater Lake and the Klam
ath country, it is bound to become
the attraction each year for thousands
of tourists.
"If the same amount' of money
could be spent as judiciously on this
road each year it would keep the
highway in splendid condition. There
are tew steep grades, and with the
proper surfacing this route over the
mountains would become readily no
cessible to automobile traffic. The
work should be begun, though, earlier
in the year.
Members of the county court were
nlcaetl to receive this report of the
highway, and were enthusiastic in
tl'oir prnis? of Mr Kebblebeck. Com
missioner Mawlev. who comes from
Cottage Grove, declares that the good
road builders all come from his part
of the country. Register.

Xcw York Citv. Sen. 13. The body
of Representative Timothy Sullivan,
former Tammany leader and member
of congress was found beside
the railroad tracks in rclham Bay.
The body was badly mangled and it
is believed that he was struck by a
train the day he disappeared from his
home.
Sullivan was known by thousands
of his friends as "Bis Tim," and was
one of the best liked men in the
Tammany organization.
He disappeared from his home on
September first and it was first re
ported that he was under the eare
of a physician at Brewster, New York
but this report was found to be erroneous.
Several months aco he was ad
judged by the New York courts as in
competent to manage his estate and
those placed in charge ot nis proper
ty have given out a statement that
the former leader was on the verge
of bankruptcy at the time of his death.
His friends believed nun weaitny.
Thousands of residents of the tani-
ons tiowery district profited bv the
free handed generosity ot mg i im
Sullivan. The news of his death came
as a shock to his old time friends and
thousands of denizens of the Bowery
are mourning his loss.
The hodv was identified this after
noon by Lawrence Mulligan, a half
brother of the deceased.
