A After electing o staff Of officers and
adopting the rgAlution above refer
red to, and WITHOUT selecting a place
of meeting for the year 1916 the West
ern Oregon Girls conference, which
has been in session in this city since
Friday evening, came to close with a
rousing session at the First Congrega'
tional church last evening pronouneing
the conference the most suspicious and
successful in the history Of the orlgan-
i2atiOn,
To Organize New District
AS result Of the conference Just
closed II is more than probable that the
state will before another year rolls
around be divided into three confer
ence districts with u new district form
ed Of the counties lying south of the
Lane county line and embracing some
Of the counties in south central Oregon,
TO be known as the Southern Oregon
Girls Conference district. This need
developed from the fact that the south
ernmost delegates in attendance at the
western Oregon conference were from
Eugene, giving rise to the conclusion
that delegates south of this point were
unable TO attend on account OF the dis
tancc and expense and, in order to have
the state more thoroughly and effec'
lively represented in the movement the
Organl2ati0hh OF new dlstflci was
suggested and taken under advisement
10 be decided at the next state Sunday
school convention.
The only invitation received by this
conference for next years conference
was from the Highland Baptist church,
Of Portland, and inosmuch as one con
ference has already been held In Port
land the second in Albany and the
third here il was thought advisable to
hold the 1916 conference at more
southcrly point and the matter was tax,
on ppder adyisement 10 be determined
later by the board Of advisors An in'
yItation was received from Dallas to
hold the 1917 conference there but THIS
matter was laid on the table and refer
red 10 the next conference for decision.
