At a meeting of the trustees of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday afternoon, the necessity of a drydock was discussed, and there "was but one opinion on the subject, -which took form In the following resolutions: "Whereas. It Is absolutely necessary to pro Tide proper facilities for the large and grow ing shipping Interests of the port, by the es tablishment of a drydock: and, "Whereas, The Port of Portland Commission, In the nature of its present duties, is eminently qualified to undertake the location, ' construc tion and control of a drydock; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Portland Cham ber of Commerce strongly indorses and recommends the passage of a bill providing for the construction of m. suitable drydock, vrith authority to issue bonds therefor, not exceed ing 9400,000, or so much thereof as xnay be necessary for this pnrpose; aid dock to be located in the "Will amette River and to be constructed and operated under control of the Fort of Portland Commission.

It was suggested that Oregon will be In the field shortly for recognition by other states for her Oriental Exposition of JP05, and bo reciprocity was considered a good thing on the part of Oregon. The necessity of a state mining bureau was also considered imminent, and resolu tions were passed favoring the passage of a suitable bill creating this depart ment.

IN DEAD QUEEN'S HONOR. Arrangements for Memorial Services at the Armory Tomorrow. Final arrangements were made yester day for the Queen Victoria memorial sen-ice, which takes place tomorrow af ternoon at 3 o'clock, at the Armory. The committee decided that the Eleventh street door will be kept open from 1 o'clock until 2:30, for the 2500 holders of reserved-seat tickets only; and after 2:30 o'clock those reserved seats not then oc cupied, on the ground floor, will be given to the first who apply for them. The gen eral public will be admitted to the gal leries at 2:15. at the Tenth-street door, and all the doors in the Armory will be closed at 3 o'clock, and not opened again until the conclusion of the service. In addition to the 2500 reserved seats, there will be another 1000 seats for the general public, and standing room for 1000 more. There will be about 0 ushers present, selected from the different churches, to attend to the seating accom modations, and several policemen outside to prevent crowding. The committee hopes that those who wish to attend will do what they can individually to pre vent confusion in rushing to obtain seats, and are sorry that no more reserved-seat tickets are at their disposal for the hun dreds of people who have been dis appointed In getting tickets. The riravers to be said nt th corvi-oo are selected from the prayer-books both of the Church of England and the Protes tant Episcopal Church In America. Many stranjrers are to b nresent from nut nt town, and a request has been made that those who possess reserved-seat tickets may be allowed to keep them as souvenirs. Three addresses will be given, and the musical part of the service, in charge of Rev. Dr. Morrison, will be well worth hearing. A. 0. U. W. CARNIVAL.

LAST DAY OF OUR GREAT SALE FRUITMEN WILL MEET HORTICTJIiTURISTS OF FOUR STATES TO GATHER HERE. Transportation Officials and Frnlt Dealers Will Attend the Annual Convention Next Week. The annual convention of the North west Fruitgrowers Association, to be held in Portland, February 5, 6 and 7, will be attended by fruitgrowers of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia, many of whom have written Secretary Dosch of their intention to take part. Besides this, there will be representa tives of Eastern commission houses, gen eral managers of railroads, professors of agricultural colleges and fruit packing experts from all over the country. The convention, therefore, wilt not be a local affair by any means, but the fruitgrow ers of Oregon and Washington, adjacent to Portland, are particularly urged to at tend, as the expense of coming and going will be light, compared to the benefit re sulting from the various papers and dis cussions relating to the fruit industry. "The people of other states will be here In force," Mr. Dosch said yesterday. "But it is our own fruit men who need to be reminded of the good that comes from these meetings. "Special cars have left St. Paul and Winnipeg already, with persons interested in fruit culture, to be here on time, and I have a letter from T. P. Anderson, of Victoria, deputy in the Department of Agriculture for British Columbia, who says he will make It a point to be pres ent. The fruit men of Eastern Oregon and Eastern "Washington have also writ ten me In considerable numbers as to their intention to be on hand, and so there are fully 300 delegates counting on attending, besides the other people In directly Interested In the success of fruit growing. "Preparations have been going on for the past two months for the event, and the papers to be read by the various fruit experts will, as a whole, furnish a fund of useful information from the minds of experienced mem Fruit grow ing, curing, drying and marketing will each come in for its share of attention, and those present will be enabled to make up-to-date deductions for their own spe cial benefit. "The convention was held in Portland three years ago and was well attended, but the scope of this one will be found to have widened considerably since then, as distant states will be better repre sented. Two years ago the convention was held at Spokane; last year the as sociation met at Tacoma. and in 1902 we will probably meet somewhere in Montana or British Columbia. This lat ter point will be settled next week." Following Is the programme which has been prepared for the meetings, to take place In the A. O. U. W. Hall: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 10 A. M.

WORKING ON CENTRAL SCHOOL Construction Already Begun by the Board of Directors. The directors took prompt measures for Starting on the new Cfintrni RphnnlhniiKa by putting a force of men at work yes- ieraay tearing up the floor of the base ment of the south wing of the old build ing. In order to provide room for the new structure, the main portion of which wm exicna nearly irom East Thirteenth to East Fourteenth streots, this south wing will have to be cut away, leaving i only the entrance and stairway, and the u'a "v is preliminary to its removal. The foundation cannot even be started until the wing is removed and out of the way. There will be no more delay than possible In getting started on the base ment and pushing construction, the In tention being to avoid the experience of both the Thompson and Holladay build ings, and more especially the latter, where construction ' dragged along for more than half the year. Director Wit tenberg was on the school grounds yes terday and gave directions for crowding work forward, and declared the building should be completed and ready for the opening of the Fall term of school for the present year. There will be some In convenience experienced by cutting away the south wing, but Professor Gregg and the teachers say they are very willing and glad to submit to Inconvenience with the prospects of having a handsome, mod ern schoolhouse afterwards. The removal of the south wing will proceed at once, and most of it will be" finished during the mid-term vacation, thus avoiding noise and confusion. The new Central will generally resemble the Holladav building, although there will bo some difference. The main portion of hc new -structure will face East Washing ton street, or the north block of the school ground, which is reserved for the proposed East Side High School. It is de sired to keep East Washington street where it extends through the school grounds closed, and the ttvo blocks as one oiec 'I his will leave a 60-foot space be tween the grammar school on the south block and the proposed High School house on the north block, where concrete walks can be built through it. However, It will be very necessary that East Thlr "enh sbould be opened between East Stark and East Alder streets and East "t from East Thlrtopnth tn Kast Twelfth streets, to give access to the grounds, but no steps have been taken In that direction. The new building will take up the main portion of the grounds, ex cept there will be open spaces east and west of the part facing East Alder street. An assembly hall will bo provided on the second floor. Another Church Robbed. The discovery was made yesterday morning by the pastor. Rev. Frank E. Coulter, that the United Brethren Church East Fifteenth and East Morrison streets, had been entered during the night and 21 electric globes taken. Mr. Coulter thinks the burglar secreted himself in the church Thursday evening, while service was be ing held, and then took the globes afterwards. This, Is the sixth church re cently robbed on the East Side, and only electric light globes have been taken. The police have kept a close watch at the second-hand stores to see If the stolen globes were disposed of at these stores, but none- have been sold there. It is now supposed that some one who is putting In electric fittings In the many new houses going up has been taking the globes. He has taken Jobs -very cheaply and steals the globes to make up for It. Mr. Coul ter says that Is what was done at Los Angeles, Cal. Globes were taken from many churches, and they were afterwards traced to a man who was putting In elec tric fixtures. Reception and Banquet. At the Second Baptist Church, East Seventh and East Ankeny streets, last evening, a reception and banquet was given the officers of the church. Be tween January 1, 1900, and January 17, 1901, a total of 82 new members were re ceived, and a committee from these pre pared and "served the banquet. The as sembled guests repaired Jo the parlors of the church, where the tables had been spread, well laden with good things, and where there was a hearty welcome. Af ter the banquet had "been served, under thecharge" of William Grlffitt, president of the evening, a programme of songs and addresses followed. First,4 "Blessed Be tht Tie That Rinds " was sung, when warm words of welcome were spoken by Mr. Grlffitt, and responded to by Miss C.ara-Webb. Rev. Alexander Blackburn, pastor of the First Church, followed with woTds of cheer and gooM feeling. He congratulate the church on Its prosperity ana growth, and made an earnest appeal Buy your supplies of hosiery and underwear today and save money.

A new schoolhouse, 26x36 feet, will be erected In school district No. 107, and the Directors, Fred Wagner, Stlttman An drews and Charles Andrews, will receive bids up to February" 15. The building Is to be completed July 15. It will be built one mile southeast of Cottrell postofflce. An Insane man has been seen in the vicinity of Woodstock for the past few days, but he has eluded capture so far. His presence in the neighborhood has caused much alarm among families, al though he seems perfectly harmless. The people there are hoping he will be cap tured. The wide-awake Epworth League of Centenary .Methodist Church went in a body out to the . Woodstock Methodist Church last night to' help organize an Epworth League there. After the organ ization had been completed refreshments were served and a delightful social time followed. The funeral of Thomas W. Burton, of Woodstock, who died from the effects of Injuries received by a fall, took place yes terday. The' services were attended by members of Amerlcus Lodge, No. 1, K. of P.. and also of Prosperity Camp, No. S96. Woodmen of the World, of which lodges he was a member. Interment was in Lone Fir cemetery. The tiehaulers have ceased hauling ties to Fairvlew from the saw mlll3 In. the vicinity of Pleasant Home, as the distance is too great. Fourteen of the mill men called on the Commissioners and asked that a portion of the Troutdale road be planked, and it Is understood that thl. will be done. About a mile and a half of the road will be planked. STEVE BRODES, SPORT. Orrned n Saloon "Where Prizefight ers' Relics Were Displayed.

Steve was not cultured, but he was big-hearted and kind, and an ideal Bowery man." Fourth Presbyterian Church. PORTLAJfD, Feb. 1. CTq the Editor) Exception is taken to a local which ap peared in today's paper concerning the meeting held In the Fourth Presbyterian Church last evening. The statement "that a pastor was not chosen" Is incorrect. The Rev. if. D. McClelland was unanimously elected. The meeting adjourned until Thursday, February 14, In order that the congregation may consider and determine the pastor's salary. Another error: "The church has hereto fore paid 51200 to $1500 a year." At the meeting last evening It was clearly shown that It had been ja. difficult matter to raise J1200; hence 'time was granted to make a thorough canvass of the parish. Courtesy to our present pastor demands this explanation. It is the intention to en deavor to plan well for pastor and people, but we do not propose to give a call with a salary beyond our income. The church has a duty to perform; no doubt it will be faithfully and pleasantly discharged. PETER TAYLOR. It I TrneV Nevertheless. SALEM, Jan. 31. (To the Edltor.)-One of the Salem papers objects to a recent reference of the Oregonlan to the condi- ( tlon of property and taxation in the state. J Nevertheless, what was said by The Ore gonlan Is undeniably true. Xhere is not a little Improved property In Salem, and I doubt not in other towns, the Income from which scarcely pays taxes, insur ance and repairs upon the same. Two principal Salem residences are offered the m e 1 E3 3 VIS1TIN HA SO 977 9n WACHlWr.TAM Under the Imperial Hotel Legislature for less than half the cost of the buildings. And the grounds upon which they stand ought to be worth half as much as the buildings. I am told of a good farm in the county which has re turned about $400 per year to the owner, and he has paid about $240 per year taxes upon the same. The tax gatherer ha3 col lected $240 and the owner $160, out of which he has had to pay insurance upon build ings, repair of fences, etc. Really, is the nominal owner of the farm much mora than agent for the paying of taxes? , "" MARION COUNTY. 3 Hisiop's Pure Spices On guard for such specious terms on your spice tins as "strictly pure," "guar anteed pure," "absolutely pure."
