Bishop Morris, with his family, sailed from New York on the 21st of April, 1869, reaching Portland June 2. In 1880 the bishop was relieved from the oversight of Washington Territory. In 1889 Oregon became a diocese, and at the first convention held Bishop Morris was elected diocesan bishop. His administration has been marked by "wisdom, zeal, energy and consecration to the arduous task set before him. With clear business foresight, in the early years of his episcopate he secured property at a reasonable cost and founded churches and other institutions whose benefits will endure—a lasting memorial to their worthy founder. In his 86th year he still attends to the duties of his office, preaching once and often twice on the Lord's day. He spends a portion of each day at his desk, and daily receives many callers. Thus he still labors with unabated devotion, the glory of a noble life about him.

The Oregon Conservatory of Music is one of the best equipped schools of music on the Pacific Coast.

This is the age of electricity. To move with it, to catch step and fall into line, is the business of the hour. In the great Northwest, toward which so many faces are now sot, some important work has already been done, and much larger development is in contemplation.

The Pacific Electric Company, 94 First street, Portland, Oregon, is a reliable place to seek information. Mr. E. H. Tate, the manager, has had sixteen years' practical experience, and associated with him are other experts in their lines. Orders for electrical supplies, machinery or installations entrusted to them will be sure of prompt and thorough execution.
