THE N. Z. CONFERENCE.

The annual session Of the Oregon
Conference Of the NJ. +. Church, held
aft Seattle, closed recently at
that place. The deliberations OF
this body we're characterized by a
high degree of spirituality and Chris
tian feeling. The affairs of the
Church in its various branches re-
ceived due attention in all their
minutT; and after the business was
finished, preachers and laymen re-
paired to their respective work with
encouragement on their counten'
ances and determination in their
hearts.
In some respects this Conference
session has been one o! the most pro-
fitable ever held on the Pacific Coast.
Statistics showing the rise and pro-
gress of Methodism in the West in L.
dicats vast amount of labor per-
formed, and results as gratifying as
they are grand. Nethodism may
truly be classed among the pioneer
institutions Of the country. Where
ever civilization penetrates, the itin-
erant preacher also finds footing;
labors untiringly for the salvation
of souls, and, if he be of the genuine
stamp, generally accomplishes in a
measure the desired result. t....
Perhaps the best reason for the sue
tcess of Methodism, and the wide
spread beneficial results for which
the nation is indebted to her, is the
fact that under Methodist rules a
minister rarely gets more than very
ordinary support. This, viewed in
connection with the +" hard circuits"
and herculean laborsto be performed
effectually keep out of the ranks all
those whose aim might be simply to
get money, or to get it easily; hence
none but pure minded, devoted, un-
tiring and philanthropic men with
hearts full of zeal for the cause are
employed.

Activity not Always Energy.

There are some men whose fail
ures to succeed in life is problem
to others as well as themselves. They
are Industrious, prudent, and econ
omical; yet, after long life of striv-
ing, old age finds them still poor.
They complain of i'll luck. They say
fate is always against them. But
the fact is that they miscarry because
they have mistaken mere activity for
energy. Confounding two things
essentially different, they have sup
posed that, if they we're always busy
they would be certain TO advance
their fortunes, They have forgot
ten that misdirected labor Is but a
waste of activity. The person who
would succeed in life is like mark
man firing at target; if his shots
miss the mark, they are waste Of
powder. So in the great game Of
life; what man does must be made
to count, or it might almost as well
be left undone. Everybody knows
somu one in the circle of friends,
who, although active, has this want
of energy. The distemper, if we
may call it such, exhibits itself in va
rious ways. In some cases, the man
has merely an executive faculty,
when he should have directive enc;
in other language, he makes oapi-
tai clerk, for himself, when he ought
to do the thinking Of the business.
In other cases what is done is not
done either at the right time or in
the right way. Energy, correctly un-
derstood, is activity proportioned to

EDITOR ARGUs:-Almost all thu

suspended operations; and, as con
sequence, Emoney seems scarce ane
idle men are plentiful. But l think
this state of affairs will not last long
Fields & Austin have just completed
a shute which almost every person,
previous to its construction, thought
would be q failure; but contrary to
any predictions, it has proved to be
notably successful, even far beyond
the expectations of its projectors
The shute from the river to the hill,
1850 feet long, and almost level. 1t
had to be built over 400 feet Of this
distance, on log pens from six to
thirty feet high in order to keep up
the grade. The pens are twenty
feet wide and the same distance
apart. There being slough to cross,
crib-work.-for foundation for the
pens-was built 100 feet. These
pens are covered with bridging, max
iugss road sixteen feet wide for the
team, and leaving four feet in width
for the shute. For distance of 100
feet the shute is skidded with ''fore
and alters" or skids laid langthwise
and the rest of the distance it is cross
skidded with Alder skids.
On Friday morning, after its COM
pletion, trial was made, and a
small log containing about 1000 feet
of lumber was sent dawn. Itpassed
over the entire leugth of the shute in
ten seconds. The hill where we get
the start, is about $50 feet high, and
has has an angle of about 80 degrees,
and the way log goes down that
shute is caution to Crockett. Aus
tin was standing on the bridge when
we sent a log down, and it made his
hair get on end to see that timber
coming for him.
This undertaking is one of the l&r
geSt ever entered into on the Sound,
in the numbering bu.iless, with such
complete success, and reflects much
credit on Mr.. P. J. Fields, who fear
lessly went to work after SO much
discouragement from all parties in
this vicinity.

Cremate the city Garbage.

The great difficulty that presents itself in
dealing with the city garbage is in the selec-
ton of suitable place of deposit where it
cannot be injurious to public health, offen-
sive to the senses of sight and smell, and
will not be used as filling on lands that arc
destined to become the sites of dwellings or
other buildings. AS manure the garbage
of New York proves very valuable, but its
use for that purpose involves q careless sys-
tenn Transportation to more or less thickly
settled districts near the city. 1t is useless
to expect that the Street Cleaning Bureau
will comply with its own rules regarding the
separation by householders of the ashes and

AS IN effort at self-protection we earnestly
advise housekeepers to burn all animal and
vegetable refuse in the furnaces of their
kitchen stoves and ranges. This can be
done without any trouble or annoyance from
unpleasant odors arising from combustion.
Let certain days be set down in each
week for garbage cremation, the oftener
the better, for tho quantity of garbage
to be burned will be less. A bright strong
fire being ready in the kitchen range or
stove, wrap the bones, potato peels and all
kinds of refuse in newspaper, taking care

The offal of the streets can be easily col

on the water front. We would thus get rid
of one of the greatest sources of danger to
the public health next to bad sewerage and
filthy streets, and could with safety use the
street sweepings and ashes for filling low
lands near the city. Many families in New
York now burn their garbage, and we do not
see why the custom should not be generally
adopted. The experiment of cremating the

At last President Hayes has arrived in
Washington. His journey was made delight
full by the attentions of thousands of his
fellow citizens. Nine. De Stiel said that
oil over the world there were nothing but
men, women and children, and Mr.. Hayes
had the honor to prove that the baby is
ubiquitous. From Columbus to Washing
ton, at every station at which the train
stopped, Mr.. Hayes was invited to kiss the
babies, an invitation which he cheerfully
accepted. This ordeal is one which all
Presidents have undergone, and their
compliance accounts for the vast num-
Der of George Washingtons, Thomas
Jeffersons, Abraham Lincolns and other
Christian titles which designate the Smiths,
Browns and Blacks of America. Ruther-
ford b. will henceforth be popular in tho
States of Ohio and Pennsylvania. He kissed
the babies, and their mothers ore not un-
grateful and will honor him at the baptismal
font. We cannot enumerate oil the babies
that Mr.. Hayes had the pleasure Of
kissing, but if their votes had been
counted the democracy would have
conceded the legality of his election.
The only baby he did not kiss was Mr.. Til
den's, and this neglect was due to reasons
which it is not necessary to enumerate.
The kisses which Mr.. Hayes bestowed will
be long remembered. and if he administers
the government as the people hope he WILL
perhaps some present baby, destined to be
n future President, may, half century
hence, recall that compliment rs n
bencdiction. But the general kissing
of Mr.. Hayes is cxcolled by one immortal
embrace. Nearly twenty years ago, when
John Brown wns lcd out of his Jail to be
hanged, he took from tho arms of negro
