DECENTRALIZATION

| The election of delegates from Oregon
to the national conference in Des
Moines next May Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, was completed at the Fri
day morning session Of the 9th session
Of the Oregon annual conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The elec-
tion progressed without delay, and sup
|port to the candidates named was appar-
emily unanimous.
The delegates selected to represent
the Oregon district at the big confer
ence are:
Rev. r. B. Ford, district superintend-
ent of the Salem district; Rev. William
w. Youngson, district superintendent Of
the Portland district; Richard N. AYR
son, d. d., pastor Of the First church Of
Salem; Rev. d. II. Lecch, pastor Of tho
Eugene church; and the alternate dele
gates are: Rev. Joshua Stansfield, Cf
[the First church of Portland, and Clar
ence True Wilson, d. d, secretary Of
tho board of temperance, prohibition
and morals, Washington, D. G.
The selection of DR.. Avison Of the
Methodist Episcopal church Of Salem
confers a notable honor upon the city.
His election was accomplished without
dissent, and the general attitude Of the
delegates to the conference here was
ono of pleasure with the success Of the
elections.
During the morning session, held at
the Methodist Episcopal church, State
and Church streets, Bishop Matthew s.
Hughes, who is presiding at the confer
encc, delivered a message on Reflex
Influence Of Evangelism. /"
He pointed out that many preachers,
bound up in their work. and religious
study of the<principles Of the church,
lose their own salvation. This, he de-
clared, disqualifies them to conduct the
duties of the church as they should he.
In explanation of this he cited the
casc of John Callahan, noted criminal Of
Minneapolis. Hc told how Callahan,
ordered out of Minneapolis because Of
the crimes he committed there, went to
New York and succeeded Samuel Hadlv,
famous organizer of the Bowery Mission
in New York. Callahan, having thus
found Christianity, returned to the city
from which he was banished, welcomed
by the police Judge, mayor and the bess
of citizens.
Much Of the morning was devoted to
regular business. Many students in the
ministerial course, were passed on an
other year.
At the afternoon session four preach
crs and four laymen were elected to at
tend the Des Moines convention The
names of those held highest in favor
could not be learned.
Between three and five o'clock re-
ception was rendered to the wives Of
visiting ministers and ladies visiting the
conference by the Luella Kimhali club
in the Kimball school Of theology.
AT 1880 joint centenary meeting will
be held with DIR. A. l.. Haworth pre-
siding. James f. Crowdcr. D. d., will
address the conference on 'tMctbcdisni

That there is no logical reason why
the price of lumber will drop here this
winter, or even as late as next spring,
is the opinion of Superintendent Mey-
ers, of the Charles K. Spalding Log
ging company plant here.
''With the law of price governing be-
ing the supply and demand for products,
and with the demand for lumber in az.
parts of the country increasing, there is
little chance that the price of lumber
will drop" Meyers said Friday. $50
long as labor also demands more, 1t Is
veritable folly to believe that price
reduction can come.
1t seems to me-not that we wish to
sell them lumbcr--that the people who
plan to build had better do it now when
prices are comparatively low. ror, !,
believe, they will rise rather than fall
now,' he added.
Meyers said that he felt it an inius-
tiee to have the firm accused of prof
lteering, when, in reality, it is selling
lumber in Salem at a price below its
wholesale price. He said that certain
grades of lumber which the company
sells here for $54, sells elsewhere whole
sale at $75.
Surely that can't be called profit
teering,' he said.
With business men thoroughly aroused
to the needs of the hour here it is ex.
pected that some fruitful action will be

At the request of MIR, II. G.. Tai
bert, The Sentinel formally places
his name before the voters of Grc-
NADIA county as a candidate for tie
office Of ohancery clerk.
Mr.. Talbert is a native of this
tv. He comes of a family known
for their high aims and purposes
and for their strict integrity, and to
say that he has lived we'll up TO the
good name which he has the honor
to bear would be but repeating a
matter about which there is no con
troversy.
When M, Talbcrt reached his ma
jority, he first engaged in school
teaching for which he held a first
grade teachers license. This fact
but goes to emphisize his qualiGea-
TORS for TIE Office which he now
seeks.

J. c.. RlcHARDsSN IS
rAaNouNchD BY "A FRIEND

A good friendAaf J. c. Richardson
knowing ukat spnetime & his name
was associated with the race for the
office of Sheriff in this county at the
coming primaries, has taken the liber-
ty to a6s(bfize The Sentinel to for
mally place that gentleman's name be-
fore the voters Of the county for that
office. ;
Mr.. richardson is now in France
and may oz nay hot desire to make
the race fot.Shsssf, nevertheless he
can take consolation in the fact that
he has a true and tried friend back
at home who is not forgetting his in
terests even though the great Allan
tic Ocean does measure three thou
sand miles between them. And it
is worth much to be thought of
when absent. This young man is
worthy to have others think of him
and to have the very best thoughts
Of him. He was born in this county,
being a son of the late Wat Richard
son. He has Il manly bearing, is
courteous, clever and obliging and
happily has those characteristics that
bind men to him. When it was found
that this Government had to resent
German insults and the attempts of
;hat government to override the liber-
ty and the life of the people of the
United States, and when efforts were
under way in this county to organize
a volunteer company, Mr.. Richard
son was among those that came for
ward to offer his services. and if need
be, his life, in defense of the Nations
flag. He has carried himself well
IS n soldier. That he is qualified for
the Sheriff's Office goes without ques-
! ton and there will be ROM who will
| say that he would not in every way
make a faithful officer. If Mr.. Rich
! ardson wants to make the race, he will
no doubt take occasion to let the
| people of the county hear from him
at sometime in the near future!

good old. county. The leading~citi-
.zzens.S that. county were right with
Mr.. farmer and it is stated that kkey
were livery desirous, of having him re-
tainsd,,. Enthusiastically it maybe
said for him in regard to Carroll
J county that. he has placed it on the
nap in stock raising and farming.
The idea Of a majority of the board
no doubt in voting Nh. Turner what
may seem a large salary, is to put
the work under the direction of the
federal farm demonstrators to a test.
It is understood that the supervisors
interpret the sentiment of the coun-
ty as not having been at all pleased
with former demonstrators, hence,
when District Agent, J. w. Willis,
came to the board with one of what
he claims is their 'best men" one that
has proven his faith by the results
of his work, the board mo doubt
thought that it would take him, and
give the work one more trial. Let it
be hoped that Mr. Turner will show

himself to be all that is claimed for
him.
Now that he is to be here, The
! Sentinel bespeaks for him the aid and
| cooperation of the farmers and stock
men in each and every neighborhood
of the county. No public man, re-
gardless of his ability and of his de-
| sire to render a real service, can sue
coed without the cooperative effort
Of those amongst whom he must Ia
| boz. There is a work in Grenada
county that needs TO be done. New
| problems must be met. In a measure
the war will force conditions on the
country unlike anything it ever be-
fore had to deal with. So then the
| work that Mr.. Turner does depends
a very great deal upon the spirit
shown by the people of the county
through whom he must labor.
It is understood that Mr.. Turner
, will enter upon his duties at once.
