CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL
In SESSION AT PORTLAND

Portland. Me-, Oct. 1S.-The fact
that 200 authorized delegates to the
National Council of Congre gationalists
failed to present their credentials
prompted the business committee to
introduce n resolution at yesterdays S
session of the council providing for Il
committee to correspond with the con-
fereIces of the various states to devise
a plan whereby a part or the whole
of the expense of delegates may be
met by the conference. The resolution
was adopted.
The question of whether Il minister
should refuse to otiiciate at the mar
riage of II person who has been di-
vorced was brought up and briefly dis
cussed, and despite an attempt TO in
definitely table 1t, IL was referred TO a
special committee with instructions to
report before the adjournment of the
council.
The question of who shall receive
and attend 10 applications of ministe-
rial relief was settled by creating 4
special committee for that duty.
The afternoon session was devoted
chiefly to papers. "Women's Work in
Congregational Churches" was the
theme considered by the Rev. Il. Cal
win McClelland, PHI. D.. pastor of the
United Congregational Church at
New Port. Rhode Island. In substance
he said that the latest records of ma

ELECTRIC RAILROAD FOR USE
OF THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

Denver, Oct. 1S.-The first electric
line of Colorado outside of the cities
will be built in the beet fields of the
northern part of the state. The name
of the company is the Great Western
Railroad Company. 1t is fathered by
Charles Boettcher, John Il. Campion,
]. r. McKinnie, William b. Page, S.
d. Walling and G. S. Morey These
gentlemen are all prominently identi-
fed with the beet sugar company
whose plant is located at Loveland,
and the railway is intended primarily
as n feeder for the great factory now
completed and ready for operation.
The railway is to be supplied with
electricity from the plant 1T Love
land. The cost of the road is estimat-
ed by Charles Boettcher at $4,000 a
mile, rs two expensive bridges are TO
be built-one over the Big Thompson
river and the other over the Little
Thompson river. The road will start
at Loveland, extend down the Big
Thompson eastward for ten miles,
five miles south through Hillsboro and
ten miles west to Berthoud. 1t will
connect with the Colorado X Southern
road at Berthoud and Loveland. Ac-
cording to the projectors the road Will
be completed by the LIST of May, in
time TO be of material assistance in the
initial operations of the beet sugar
fields for the season. 1t is TO be
adapted for both freight and passen-
ger business, and it is possible that
the road may at some time be extend
ed to this city, but not in the imme-
diate future.
In speaking of the project, Mr..
Boettcher said yesterday: I'VE are
building the road to assist in our beet
sugar enterprise and also to assist in

nine women licensed by some Congre-
gational order to preach in set as
semblies," and the names of thirty
seven women who have received full
ordination to the gospel ministry, six
teen of whom are settled as pastors
and teachers: that nearly two-thirds of
the missionaries of every protestant
denomination are women, and that of
the total number on the roll of the
American board siXty-siX per cent are
women.
Within our churches there ought to
be Il place for women who are willing
to consecrate themselves to II. and
have proved their fitness for church
work; we ought to be able to give to
each woman the protection of position,
the opportunity of Il profession having
the church's sanction, and at the
same time affording means of securing
constant livelihood.
The committee appointed to consider
the matter Of marriage by clergymen
of persons who had been previously
divorced, made its report, recommend
ing that the provisional committee be
requested 10 secure place upon the
program of the next triennial session
of the council for n paper giving n
careful review of the matter together
with recommendation as to the best
method of remedy. This report was
accepted by the council without de-
bate.

LATTER DAY SAINTS
ELECT JOSEPH f. SMITH

Salt Lake, Utah. Oct. 1S.-At the reg
ular weekly meeting of the council of
apostles, held in the temple yesterday,
Joseph f. Smith was chosen and set
apart as president of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in
succession to the late Lorenzo Snow,
with John X. Winder and Anthony II.
Lund as his first and second counsel
ors respectively.
President Smith was also named as
the trustee-in- trust for the church. He
was likewise named as president of the
Salt Lake temple with John X. Wind
er as his first assistant
Apostle Brigham Young was sustain
ed and set apart as the president of
the quorum of twelve apostles.
1t was also decided to hold a special
conference of the church, which has
been called for the second Sunday in
November. which will be the 10th, for
the purpose of ratifying to-day's action
of the church authorities as far as that
is necessary.
o. G. Snow has been appointed by
Judge Hall special administrator of
the estate of his father the late Pres
ident Lorenzo Snow of the Norman
Church, with bond fixed at $4,000.
President Snow left no will, and the
property left by him at the time of his
death consists of some real estate,
notes, mortgages, bonds, stocks, etc,
which, according to the petition, is val
ued at from $4,000 to $4,000.
In the petition appears the names of
thirty heirs, numbering two wives.
twelve sons. thirteen daughters and
three grandchildren, but in the list the
name of Leroi G. Snow, the reputed
favorite son of the late church presi-
dent does not appear, neither does the
name of his mother, Minnie Jensen
Snow, the youngest wife, with whom
the decedent was living at the time of
his death. When attention was called
to the omission in the petition of the
two names noted above, Judge Bow
man, attorney for the special admins
traitor, said the omission was uninten-
tional, and was probably due to mis-
take made by the typewriter in copy
ing the list. The omission. he said,
would not in any way effect the rights
of these two heirs.

VIII Remove Fences.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 1S.-rhe
commissioner of the general land Office
has ordered the summary removal of Il
vast fence that is being erected on n
part of the public range in southeast
ern New Mexico, just west of the Pc
cos river. The fence is being built by
large stock company owning 10000
head of cattle which it desires shall ex-
clusively Craze on this large tract of
public land. Inasmuch as the law pro-
vides that no fences shall be erected
on the public domain, and as such
fences operate to exclude settlers and
small stock owners who have an equal
right with all others to these public
pastures, the commissioner says he
will not go on record as favoring the
erection of such fences nor for grant
ing n specified time before which the
fences shall be removed. He favors
summary action and so recommends to
the secretary. 1t is known that if an
extension is granted this company 9TH
ers will ask Congress ut its coming ses-
sion for legislation permitting the
maintenance of such fences, and there
is strong reason to believe the secre-
tary will grant such extension, al
though apparently for other reasons.

the development of the fertile region
through which the road passes. we
have engineers now in the field ano,
will continue steadily to work until
the road is completed, working all
winter if necessary. The road will ,be
of standard gauge, with seventy
pound rails and adapted for heavy
traffic"
President Frank Trumbull of the
Colorado 4 Southern had no objection
to the beet sugar men entering the
northern Colorado field with an cleo
tric line. "The proposition was made
to us by Mr.. Boettcher and his asso-
ciates," said Mr.. Trumbull, but we
did not care to build line through the
region which is to be traversed by the
electric line. There is IA friendly feel
ing between the sugar beet company
and the officers of the Colorado x
Southern, and we see no reason for
any change in the friendly relations"
The remarks of Mr.. Trumbull effect
ually put to rest rumor that the en-
terprise was started with the intention
of securing lower rates from the Colo
RADIO & Southern. The territory Is en-
tirely new and is one of the most pro-
ductive in the state. 1t is plentifully
watered and adapted for beet culture
in n remarkable degree. 1t is prob
able that the overhead wire system
will be used.
The opening Of the sugar beet har-
vest has created strong demand for
labor in northern Colorado, and it was
announced yesterday that 200 able
bodied men could find employment in
the region of Loveland. The supply
of labor is far below the demand, as
farmers are desirous of harvesting the
beets before the cold weather sets in.

In the crush at the door three women
tainted. The collapse of the floor was
caused by the splitting of a wooden
post in the basement, which allowed
the floor to sink.
