ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Meeting Hold to Awakon Intorest in
Hotter Highways.
A mcttlng of prominent business
men and tax pajerH was held this fore
noon to consider tho promotion of bet
ter road building out of Salem, Follow
ing nfflcera were chesen: John G.
Wright, President; A. I. Wagner, secy.
It was emphatically a cltiens road
meeting to demand tlio bulldlngof per
manent roads. Great enthslasm pre
vailed. Those present aro fully determined
not only that somo good roads be built
but that no more money bo wasted on
construction of unscientific dirt roads.
KK80MJT10NS
were adopted as follows; Resolved,
That It Is the seuso of this meeting that

tial aid In the building of good roads as

sides.
Another meeting will be held in a
few days.
NEWS OP THE CHURCHES.
Another Division in the First
gregational Society.
Con-
Rev. Robt. Wbltaker has received a
telegram inviting hlin to become pas
tor of a prominent Baptist church at
Oakland, Cal. Its close connection
with California college gives it runk as
one of the educational churches of this
denomination. Rev. Wbltaker expects
fuller information from there by mail.
His pastoral relations to the First Bap
tist church of this city are very pleas
ant, but ho thinks he would have a
larger field for Hterury work at Oak
land. He has never preached for the
people who call him.
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL.
At tho meeting of this church last
night some feeling grew out of a reso
lution which the Christian Endeavor
society had adopted and asked to bo
laid before tho society. It was to the
eflect that the church should have a
regularly chosen fixed salaried pastor
Installed. Tbe resolution was not rend
by the clerk, Carl Roberts. On ques
tion of continuing the paatorato of Rev.
P. S. Knight as supply minister the
vote was '25 for, 113 against and a num
ber not voting. It is not yet known
what Mr. Knight will do. It is well
known that ho is not seekeug tho Job,
but tried to help hold tho church to
gether when it was without a shepherd.
Rkcord Tiikm Twice. Hon. C. W,
Fulton has called attention to one of
tlio most remarkable coincidences that
has occurred In any session of tho Ore
gou legislature. House bill 104, by O.
F. Paxtou, amending sections 8054,
S055, 3050, 3057 utid 8058 of Hill's code,
relating to chattel mortgages, passed
.he Eeuato February 10. Senate bill 23,
a bill containing the same matter,
passed the house February 1G. Both
bills wore slgued by the speaker of tho
houso and president of the senate Febru
ary 17. The house bill requires thut
chattel mortgages shall be recorded
with tho recorder of conveyances, and
with tho county clerk where no record
er of conveyances exists. Tho senate
bill requires that chattel mortgages
shall be recorded with tbe county clerk
only. Senator Fulton, belug asked
what course he would pursue under
tho conflicting statutes, said he would
have the recording done by both ofll
cers to Insure safety.
