The annual meeting Of the Oregon M.
E. conference will convene in Corvallis,
Thursday, September 9th, and continue
in session over Sunday. Bishop Cyrus
Foss, the eminent Methodist divine, will
preside over the meetings, and at least
100 Methodist clergymen will be in at
tendance as delegates. Many of these
gentlemen will be accompanied by their
wives, and, as Corvallis will temporarily
be the mecca of Methodisn, it is ex-
pected that large number of laymen
will come with their families and camp
about the city while the conference is III
session. An executive committee, con-
sisting of A. K. Miner, Geo. Lilly, F. A.
Alexander, Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Minor
Swick has been appointed to take charge
of the arrangements and is making fav-
orable progress. On account of the very
large number of delegates who are ex-
pected it will be necessary to provide &C
commodatious for nearly $50 persons.
Local members of the church. will OF
course entertain the bulk of the number,
but other C1t1ZcHS Will De SOllClleu " do

a statewide reputation for hospitality,
and it is not likely that any difficulty
will be experienced i'll securing accom-
