A few years ago. returning after a

worms had eaten into her keel and

timbers had to be put in. Later she

he had voted in Madison and that he

the ground that il was not well to

was impractical TO keep the members
at Madison continually through the

ARTISTIC
FRFSCO
WORK
Elmer {. Wood Completes Beautiful
Piece of Decorated Finishing

The workmen have just completed
the work Of frescoing the First
Methodist church of this city, and 1t
presents a beautiful and restful in
terror to the large congregations
that worship there. The artist took
for the keynote Of his decorative
scheme two banks of the great pipe
organ, that are pale green with gold
ornaments, and the whole ornamen-
tation of the church seems to spring
from the central theme suggested by
the musical instrument. The body
of the church, walls and ceiling Is
light green, blending into panels
of creamy yellow, that has a slight
greenish tinge, such as one sees in
the sky sometimes after an Oregon
sunset There is a decorative base
and borders next to the ceiling.
The panels are bordered and the
great groins OF woodwork that spring
from the floor TO the top of the
gothic arch are of an old ivory color.
The entrance is of a darker terra
Icotta and cream ceilings. Back of
the organ loft are panels that stand
out with striking effect of reality,
lattlced screens and three gothic win
dows with light streaming upon an
open Bible in the central window.
The work was done by Elmer Il.
Woods of this city, who is also exc
cutting a contract for the Academy
of the Sacred Heart. He has done
work in Kansas City, Achison and
California cities, but now makes Sa-
lem his home.
The work he has done at the
Methodist church is the largest con-
tract he has executed In Salem, and
will speak for itself. II is under
stood to be very satisfactory TO the
committee. The expense Of decorat-
ing this large church-the largest in
the city-was about 5000, and the
Methodlsts can boast about the best |
finished house of worship in the Cap
ltal City.
