The eonferenee of the Methodist Episcopal Chnrch held at Eugene City, among a number of other things of a great deal of iroportanee, jja decided on a step that should have been taken a great many year ago in justice t a great man, and one whose labor made possible much of the greatness of not only the Methodist Chureb in this state, but of all of -that great territory at one time known as the Oregon .Terri tory, but now comprising j all f ' the states, of Oregon, t Washington, j Idaho and part or Montana. , This , refers to the bringing the re mains of the late Rev.

Jason Lee was the first Protest ant missionary to come to the Oregon country, and the first mission was es tablished on what is now the Oliver Beers place on Mission Bottom, to tho north of this city, which was establish ed1 there in 1834. Ten years later tha mission was removed to this city, then just being established. Rev, Jason Lee was accompanied m his. earlier work by his cousin, Daniel Lee. i There yet remains but the matters of detail, as the family of the late mission ary have eousened to the removal, i Jason Lee was a native 'of Stanstead, CanaJa; where he was born June' 27, 1803. ' lie married Anna Maria Pit man July 16, 1837, after having eomc to Oregon, they being married at the Mission. :Miss Pitman had been ap pointed a teacher at the Mission school. Rev. Jason Lee, who was the first missionary to come into the Oregon territory for any Protestant church, sailed from Boston in July, 1836 and reaehed the mouth of the Columbia river in May of the year following, having made the trip by way of Cape Horn. Supplies being needed in 1838, it became ""necessary that ' some one should return to the states and Jason Lee was chosen for the trip. . He made the journey overland, and upon reach ing tho t Shawnee, where Kansas City is now located, he was overtaken by & mewt-nger a then sixty days upon the roaj, ;wh carried him the intel ligence that bis wife bad died in July after his departure. Mr. Lee pursued his journey through the East, however, in the interests of the Oregon Mission and the following summer he married Miss Lucy Thomp son.

Owing to the ! destruction of earthworks the advance was completely unprotected and under the rays of the searchlight the Russian machine guns swept them down in masses. More troops came, however, i with fanatical bravery, leaping o'ver the bodies of the dead. Then the Russians, embolded by success, sorties. The Japanese replied with machine guns working intense havoc. The scene next morning was appalling. The hillside was strewn with mingled v Russian,1 anil Japanese bodies, some of them gripped with ghastly realism. Boulders were trick ling with blood.

FROM THE OWL NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Under date of Oct. 1, Henry Clews, tbo Wall Street banker, writes the following weekly letter. The stock market is just now in a rather exceptional posit ion. " Values in inanv cases are aa high as conditions warrant, but the technical position of the market is' such that the. advance may easily be continued tp a higher level, and the prevalent opinion amo those who ought to know is that 'the ujward movement has not . by any means reached its culmination. There have been genuine and! well groundd reasons for the advances thus far. A satisfactory harvest, good pric es for farm products, easy money hi abundance, a partial revival of busi ness and a strengthening of confidence in financial circles have all imparted a better tone to the stock market and afforded legitimate reasons for the re covery -which has recently taken place in securities. Conservative opinioin is that stocks are1 now selling as high as justifiel upon either present or pros pective 'conditions. As prices rise the temptations to realize inereaso and a good many shares are' already selling at exceedingly high figures. Not a few cautious people argue that all the satisfactory influences in the market have .been amply discounted, especial ly as some of the most optimistic ex pectations as to crops, have not been realized. On the other hand experience reminds us that all important move ments run to extremes. During the last serious declines values went much below intrinsic worth, and now that the rebound is on there is nothing in sight to prevent the pendluin swinging in the other direction. This is the almost un broken history of market movements, and is as necessary a part of 'correct reading of the future as is the legiti mate" study of crops, finances, and the multitude of other factors governing values.

Investors may safely ignore this fact or, but professional speculators usually play with more or less skill and swecus upon these transient influences, which constitute an important source of profit t the skillful trader. But a reallv more imnortant'kfsctor than mere sentiment ii the preseut con dition of the market is the attitude of the big holders. Our heavy capitalists were large uuvers of securities on the last deelin-, chiefly as a mstter of sel. -protection. Tjiesc securities tbey still hold, not havinir succeeded in distribut ing them to any extent. The powerful support of these holders, as well as that of the financial institutions which tbey control, is the chief element , in the market at present. These gentle men have succeeded in putting the mar ket up upon themselves. , They have created new and wide activity among the various cliques with, however, thus far disposing of any large share of their surplus. They are thus of nec essity committed to the bull side, and as there is nothing in sight to inter fere with their operations, except pub lic indifference Jtr limiations of the money market, the chances of thejr suc cess are good so long as the various cliques hold together. Whenever, the market is strong there follows more or less inside selling( which however, is well disguised an.l does not yet seem to have been sufficient to weaken the general market. No adverse influences have develop ed in the, outside situation, and f while the yield of corn, cotton and wheat, is below early estimates, wbieh is the al most unbroken rule, still a liberal sup ply . of corn L and cotton is practically assured, and so ;far as wheat is con cerned this-country is likely to Secure condensation in high prices for the 100,000,000 bushels which it seems able to spare for export. A very encourag ing feature is the continued growth of bank clearings, which is not entirely at tributable to stock exchange operations. Another gokl feature is the improve ment in railroad earnings. . In the sec ond week' of September forty-three roads reported a gain of over U per cent, and -n the first week fifty roads announced a gain of over 4 per cent. These returns, which have been stead ily gaining, substantiate the -- hopeful views recently expressed by railrond managers, besides demonstrating tne increased activity of general business. Of the latter there is no question, al though it is strictly eonfined to :mod erate proportions. Iron and steel .ma terials have been in much letter' de mand since the revision of prices, and while profits must me on a much small er scale still the advantage to produc ers is reflected ,ia the recent rise of-the steel issues. : There is nothing in the monetary sit uation to cause uneasiness at present. While the government is facing a treas ury deficit, which may eventually cuse a reduction of deposits with the deposi tary banks, snch action is not yet in sight. The national banks of the en tire country, wnieh 'numler atout 50O0 show an increase in cash reserves tor tbej year ending Septemler 27 of $107. 000,000 almost all in gob! coin. In creased old certificates have also been issued by the United States Treasury during the same period, amonnting to $29,0iK,0OO, thus makincr $136,000,000 increase in the gold money of the coun try in circulation. In the local marVet easy rates prevail in spite of crop dc mands and the expeetauon or. a poor bank statement 4his week. The surplus reserve has been cut In half, yet is still double that of a year ago and more than ample for all probable require ments this fall. The general soundness of business and financial conditions, as well as the almost complete aosencc of disturbing issues, leaves the market open to" -further manipulation; and since the in terests of those in control are in the direction of higher prices the probabil ities are that the rise has not reached its climax. Not until the large holders have lightened their burden, or until less favorale conditions develop, is the market likely to see any serious weak ness. Moderate reactions may be ex pected, followed, however, by substan tial rallies as long as present forces govern. Iurehasers therefore will still have to exercise much caution and li crimination.
