HIS INTRODUCTION.
To CorvaIIiSiteS- eS-Something OF
Rev. Leech.

Because he is stranger in our
city, and because all strangers
need an introduction to the pub
lie if they are public men, an
item is given here from the
"Wo-iburn independently con-
cerning Rev. D. H. Leech who
comes to the M. E. church in
this city as its pastor. After re-
lating that Mr.. Leech has been
pastor there for over three years,
has improved church conditions
very materially and as also be-
ing a public-spirited and ener-
getic citizen as we'll, the Inde-
pendent says:
1t was with a feeling of keen
regret that not only the Metho-
dists, but all OF the people in
Woodburn heard that Rev. D. H.
Leech, who has been pastor of
the M. E. church here, had been
appointed by the bishop to the
M. E. church at Corvallis.
For three years and three
months Rev. Mr.. Leech has been
the pastor of the Woodburn M.
E. church and has been mainly
Instrumental in increasing the
membership during his incum-
bcncy from Isl to 285. Not on
ly has he preached sound doctrine
and drawn large congregations,
but he has been energeticin behalf
of Woodburn's interests, joining
every movement that had a tend
ency to promote the welfare and
growth of the city. He is man
who draws one out of a state of
lethargy and to keep step with
him a person must be an active
citizen and an active christian.
He has succeeded in converting
the M. E. parsonage into prac-
tscally new buil1ing and the
church edi6ce is now being re-
nodded end enlarged to be in
co conance with the times and
the spirit distilled in the grow
ing congregation by the retiring
pastor.
Rev. Mr.. Leech is a man of
force and ability, full of SYM
pa.hy for those in trouble, always
ready to enjoy the enjoyment of
others, earnest and sincere in
everything he undertakes, and he
never ceases or falters in 1he pur-
suance of any course marked by
him. He has made an ideal
pastor and possesses the happy
faculty of drawing people to him
and bringing mary outsiders
within the radius of the church.
All are also sorry to note the
coming departure of Mrs.
Leech, a lady of very winnin g
personality, ana also Will thell
bright family of young folks
growing up be missed.
Rev. Mr.. Leech and family
will leave Saturday for their new
field of labor, and will be followed
by the love and well-wishes ot
the people here. We hate tc
loose them and congratulate Cor
Wallis upon her good fortune ir
having gained in Rev. Leech
sound Christian, and indetatiga'
BILE worker, a loveable character
loyal Oregonian, and with him
most estimable wife and interest
| ing children.

CATHOLIC NOTES.

Yesterday was the feast of Saints Peter and Paul and today is the feast of the commemoration of St. Paul. The two great apostles who are said to have suf- fered martyrdom on the same day ln Rome are honored jointly throughout the world, but Peter being especially remen- bered on June 29 as the chief of the apos- ties, the church sets apart June % for sigAally honoring Paul, who preached the gospel to the Gentles.
 After today high mass will be discon- tinued at St. Pauls church until the au- tumn. At the low mass, which will be substituted, the choir will sing appropri- ate music.
 At St. Augustine's church, North Bir- mingham, the Rev. Father Kitrick says two masses on Sundays, 7:S0 and 10 o'clock, and a mass every week day at 7:30 o'clock
 The Alabama Catholic, a new paper be- ing published in Mobile with the hearty approval of Bishop Allen, Is being well received by the faithful of this diocese. It is edited by the Rev.

WHITE-BT .AKESLEE
 WILL NOT SUSPEND
Books Are Being Audited and Business Will Be Continued By Re-
 ceiver Manly.

Manly, who was appointed receiver or the company as the result of a petition in involuntary bankruptcy An inventory Of the property is being taken, and the exact amount of their assets and liabilities VIII be arrived at in q few days.
 It Is said that q failing off In orders and collections caused the officers of the company to make a report in directors meeting that they were unable to pay their debts. While the petition in bank ruptcy was involuntary 1t is said that it was welcomed by the company.
 The White -Blakeslee Manufacturing com pany has been engaged in the manufac- ture of gasoline engines for several years and it's failure created quite a good deal of surprise. They have been manufactur- ing good engine and the impression has been that they had more business than they could handle, despite the well equipped shop which they possess. The petition in involuntary bankruptcy was filed by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, the American Casting company and the Birmingham Trust and Savings company.
 The company will not discontinue bus mess but will continue to take and orders under the supervision of Receiver Manly. It is generally estimated that their plant, which is located at Wood lawn is worth over Sl00.U0.

Of these I have closed deals amounting to $16O,OO0. I attach the present firmness in the Birmingham real estate market to the confidence of the investing public in the wisdom that will prevail in the legislature which will lead to the re- peal of the foreign tax loan"
