A SCENE QFACTIVITY Tull & Gibbs Moving to Sev enth and Morrison Streets. WAGONS BLOCKADE STREET The Main Building and Annex Contain Features Xever Be fore Seen West of Chicago. The above Illustrations will show the new home of the majnmoth furniture house of Tull & Gibbs, at Seventh and Morrison streets. The artist succeeded In catching a very good picture of some of the wagons employed yester day In moving the immense stock from Second and Morrison to Seventh and Morrison, which will convey more for cibly than mere words the Immensity of the task to be performed within a limited space of time. Morrison street swarmed with wagons, either empty or loaded with furniture, and pedes trians along that street watched with Interest the moving of the largest re tail stock of furniture in the North west, and commented on the care with which every article was handled. The resources of the firm were taxed to the limit in handling such an immense amount of goods without confusion or friction and that they succeeded be yond the most sanguine expectation Is only another demonstration of the thorough organization of their busi ness and working force. Tull & Gibbs commenced business in Spokane. Wash., where they have been undisputed leaders In the furniture trade for a number of years. Seeking new fields to conquer they decided to open another store In this city. July S. 1903, they bought out the H. C. Breeden Company, at Second and Mor rison streets, enlarged and improved the premises and commenced business In this city under the most favorable auspices. From the first, a vigorous campaign of publicity was conducted with noticeable ability, so that com petitors 3at up. rubbed their eyes and took notice that a giant had entered their fold. It was not a full-grown giant, however, as the sequel shows, because the house at Second and Mor rison was not large enough for the ex pansion constantly taking place more room was necessary. The new 6-story building. 103x100, and the new six story annex, 50x100, is the most modern btore In the West, and contains the largest plate glass windows in Port land. The 110.000 feet of floor space has every known advantage for the pur pose of properly displaying the stock and It is claimed that it will be the best-lighted store west of Chicago. Every precaution has been taken to prevent fire and the system installed would drown out any ordinary blaze In a few seconds In any part of the build ing. The improved machinery for carpet, drapery and upholstery work, also a complete wood-working plant, contains many features not seen heretofore west of the Rocky Mountains. Tull & Gibbs are proud of the patron age bestowed on the firm, since opening here, which has enabled them to carry such a magnificent stock and to oper ate a metropolitan plant, and the peo ple of Portland are proud that the city contains such an establishment as that conducted by this energetic and public-spirited firm. The new store will be cpcn to the public next Wednesday. DEBATE LABOR PROBLEM W. J. Yarrow and G. K. Thompson Meet in People's Forum. ' At the People's Forum last night an interesting debate was held on the topic "Arc Canital and Labor Necessar ily Antagonistic ?" The affirmative, up held by W. J. Yarrow, assumed a So cialistic aspect, while G. R-- Thompson, on the negative, put up the argument of "let well enough alone." E. J. Mc Allister presided and after the regu lar debate a number. of short addresses were delivered by Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, E. W. Himes and others. Mr. Yarrow spoke against the present centralization of wealth. "Capital," he said, "is a system of production privately owned, but ope rated by wage labor and making great profits. This is the almost universal system of today, dividing society into two classes, each separate and distinct. One class is compelled by necessity to sell the only thing it has; its labor, to sustain life, while the other, which performs no labor, not even the labor of the brain in directing the industries of the world. Is allowed to live In ease. Seek out the sunny side of any city. What do you see? There in the glory of the day are mansions; stately and ele gant; finished in the finest and most costly woods. Who built them? The workingman. . "Capital and labor are and always will bo antagonistic, and unless some change in the social system is made and made soon you will see the fall of the Roman empire reproduced on American soil." "Capital and labor should not be at odds," Mr. Thompson said for the nega tive. "Where the employer pays the highest wages there are the best re sults. Mr. Yarrow says that the people demand a change, but the statistics of election show that 98 per cent of the voters are in favor of the present sys tem And who are the rest? Two per cent, mostly the offscourings of Rus sia, Hungary and Poland, who come here and agitate reforms, who make no effort toward bettering their lot and who are content to remain In filthy sur roundings and spend their time In beer halls and saloons. In San Francisco be fore the disaster the highest rate of wages of any in the country were paid and you can note the difference there was between that city and places where lower wages were paid. "Under the capitalistic regime the Nation and the world in general has advanced. A hundred years ago the parne primitive means of locomotion, of illumination. and of transmitting thought were used that were In vogue In the times of Abraham and Moses. It is only since capital gained the up perhand tnat the world has made rapid strides in science and in art. "There are abuses in every system and in the capitalistic system they are most easily remedied." Dr. Wise will speak at next Sunday's meeting on the subject "Man a Social Creation." UP Week Expected to See Y. M. Y. W. C. A. Fund Realized. LARGE SUM YET NEEDED Fair Grounds Still Attract. An average of 1000 persons daily visit the former Lewis and Clark Fair grounds, which the present owners permit them to stroll about at will. Much vandalism was practiced for a time, and even with careful watching it was impossible to protect the prop erty except by excluding the public. Now, however, as a rule visitors show due consideration for courtesy and pri vileges extended. Saint-Saens Coming to America. BOSTON. Mass.,- Sept. 30. (Special.) Camille Saint-Saens, the famous French composer is coming to America next month and will tour the leading cities of the country as far West as the Pacific Coast, spending three months in America. POINTER'S INSTINCT ALMOST BRINGS POACHER TO GRIEF Trained Bird Dog ComeB to Point on Dress Suit Case Tilled With Pheasants Shot Before Season Opened. A PORTLAND man who went pheas ant hunting up Woodburn way the other day, before the season opened, so as to ba sure of getting game, so narrowly escaped discovery that he Is still shivering from his frightful experi ence. He slipped away from town with out the regulation hunting costume and carried with him a dress suit case in which to bring home his game. The case also carried his gun, and from all ap pearances he looked like some traveling man on a tour of the small country stores. When he returned to Portland he stopped at the Imperial Hotel for a few minutes to 6ee a friend. The dress suit case, this time filled with pheasants, he set near the desk as he turned his back to engage In conversation. Jim Ruther ford's trained pointer, Clark, was dozing in the lobby when the hunter entered. "What's the matter with that dog?" he heard someone remark. Turning around, the lawbreaker be held the blooded pointer stiffened out in a full point, dead on the dress suit case. The dog was perfectly rigid and every body in the lobby began to wonder what was the matter. Needless to say the sportsman knew what was up and he made a rush to break off his conversation, grab the dress suit case and disappear w4th it around the corner. Until his abrupt departure no other person in the hotel realized why the dog acted so strangely. It is said that this same hunter broke the game laws In five different instances the day he went after pheasants. He shot without a license, exceeded the law ful limit of 10 birds allowed each hunter in one day, trespassed, had birds in his possession and shot birds out of season. Whirlwind Effort to Be Made to Gather Total of $350,000 Subscriptions by Sat urday Night. A whirlwind campaign for gathering in the dollars of the generous will be inaug urated today by the citizens' committees of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion and the Young Women's Christian Association in their united effort to raise the $350,000 necessary to provide these two splendid institutions with a home large enough to accommodate the needs of their great work of philanthropy. Not a stone will be left unturned to round up every last cent of the money needed to complete this fund before 9 o'clock next Saturday night, and every member of the two organizations is go ing to hustle and make every man, wo man and child that can be drafted into the crusade hustle until the hand of the big clock at Sixth and Morrison points at the coveted mark $350,000. Definite plans to this end were made yesterday by both organizations. The citizens' committee of the Y. M. C. A. met at the campaign headquarters. Sixth and Morrison streets, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and details of the crusade work for the coming six days were ex haustively discussed. The urgent need of heartiest co-operation was emphasized by C. S. Ward, international secretary, who is in the city directing the campaign to raise the fund. The leaders of the Y.. M. C. A. cam paign held a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. building at 5:30 o'clock and outlined plans for their work during the week. . Ministers Speak for Project. The campaign was made the subject of pulpit comment in a number of churches during the services of the day. Particu larly was this true of the First Unitarian Church, where Dr. Weatherby delivered a strong address on the work of the Young Men's Christian Association, dwelling strongly on the valuable educa tional and character-building influence of the organization, and on what great ben. efits accrued to any community which had an active and progressive organiza tion of this character. He urged his au dience to become not only members of the great host that Is giving to the worthy cause, but to interest their friends and neighbors in the campaign. International Secretary Ward delivered an address on the same subject at the First Presbyterian Church in the morn ing, taking up the work as it had been done in the more than a score of other cities in America in which munificent sums had been raised for Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. homes. He called at tention to the fact that the two Port land organizations were not asking the public for as much money as had been asked for and subscribed for the Y. M. C. A. alone In many other cities not so large or so wealthy or with so large or ganizations as the Rose City possesses. AVhat Los Angeles Did. He related how easily nearly three times the sum of money asked for here had been raised in Los Angeles, how many other cities had come to the front and helped out because they felt that a strong institution of this character was a big civic asset. The leaders of the campaign are most optimistic about the outcome of the ef fort to raise this fund, and they are depending solely upon the public-spirit-ednees and loyalty of the people of Port land to bring their hopes to a successful realization. General Secretary H. W. Stone said last night: "There have been spread abroad certain vague rumors during the past day or two to the effect that certain wealthy men of the city are going to wait and see how much money the public at large will contribute to this fund and, at the last moment, they will subscribe large sums to complete the total. "These rumors have come to us, but so far as we know and so far as we have been able to learn by Investigation, there is no truth in them. We have tried to trace these rumors to their source, but have failed, and we have no definite knowledge of any rich people who are coming to our rescue at the eleventh hour. We have been holding nothing back; we have reported all do nations received, and have counted noth ing until the subscription blank has been signed. While we believe that a num ber of good-sized gifts will be made to the fund before the week is over, we are not counting on them. We are simply making a continuous appeal and as strong a one as we can to the general public to help us out. Contributors Comparatively Few. "It is true Portland has not made so good a showing as a number of other cities of its size have made. Up to the present time our lists of subscribers show only a few more than 600 names, while in a number of cities where this plan of raising a fund has been tried, between 4000 and 5000 contributors have partici pated in the work. But we haven't lost courage or hope. When our citizens' com mittee begins work about 9 o'clock this morning, they will continue hustling for contributions the entire week, and we be lieve the money will come rolling in rapidly and the hand of the old clock will move rapidly across its dial." No effort was made to increase the fund yesterday. It being Sunday. All the cam paigners rested up. so as to be able to pitch in with increased earnestness and zest the coming week. At present the fund stands at $1S5, 343 25. leaving a balance to be raised of $164.65075. This means that nearly $28. 000 must be raised each of the remain ing six days during which the subscrip tion books will remain open. International Secretary Ward left Port land at midnight last night for Tacoma. where he will remain today and tomor row, directing a similar campaign which is being made. He will return to Port land Wednesday and remain here until the end of the week. AID SDGIETY HOME TAXED SEVENTEEN' CHILDREN RE CEIVED THE LAST WEEK. Boy and Girl Wards Now Number 53, and Clothing and Shoes Are Badly Needed. ( The past week, ending with Sunday, September 30, has been a busy one for the officers of the Boys' and Girls' Aid So ciety. In the seven days there have been 17 children admitted and nine placed, leav ing on hand at the receiving home 52; 11 of this number were received yesterday, six of whom were brought from Lane County by John Teuscher, the society's traveling agent, as follows: Albert Har per, aged 13, and Bertha Harper, ased 12, were committed to the society by the County Court of Lane County, the father being dead and the mother being a wom an of notoriously bad character. Nathan Sweet, aged 13, Roy Sweet, aged 11. and Cordie Sweet, aged 3. In this case the parents were divorced and living apart and the children were in the care of the mother, who had drifted into a vicious life. George J. Smith, aged 14, of Lane Coun ty, was committed by the County Court on petition of his mother, his father be ing dead and his mother being unable to control him. Complaints having been re ceived at the office of the society respect ing these families. Superintendent Gard ner sent the traveling agent to investi gate and see that the cases were prose cuted. In addition to this number, five were committed by the Juvenile Court on Saturday. The admission of this large number of children of necessity taxes the capacity of the society to its utmost, as well as requiring a larger amount of clothing, and the management would be grateful to any one who would donate underwear for large boys, and boys' and girls' shoes of all sizes. The society is in great need of these articles. They would be called for if any intending donor would call up Superintendent W. T. Gardner on tele phone East 5, or by addressing him by letter at the Receiving Home, corner East Twenty-ninth and East Irving streets. Applications for boys and girls of any age will be appreciated and promptly act ed upon. - FOR NEWBERG CONVENTION Annual Gathering of W. C. T. TJ.

Flag of Confederacy in Flowers Adorns Pulpit in His Honor. Quarterly Conference Opens. The banner of the' Southern Confed eracy was conspicuously displayed on the platform beside the pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal Church South In Foresters' Hall at the morning serv ices yesterday not the silken flag that stood for all that was dear tq the hearts of the supporters of the Lost Cause, but the stars and bars created by the florist's art as a fitting greet ing to one who had fought under the banner of the South. The occasion was the quarterly district conference of the church, and in the nature of a recep tion to Bishop James Atkins, of Ashe ville, N. C, the newly assigned head of the church for Oregon and Washington for toe coming year. At the rear of the pulpit stood a large floral piece, arranged to repre sent, the flag of the Confederate States, and whilo there was nothing particu larly nottceable about the design in other respects, the sentiment was one that appealed to the observer as an il lustration of what a dead issue the once bitter animosity between the North and South has become. Many there were in the congregation, who had attained manhoods estate, who did not even know that It was the "rebel" flag. On the East Side, at Union avenue and Multnomah street, the Methodist Episcopal Church South is erecting one of the finest houses of worship In the city. It will cost about $40,000, and will have a seating capacity of 1600. Rev. E. H. Mows..-, the pastor, read a state ment showing that the church is in an exceedingly prosperous condition, and expects to maintain this high standard of excellence. Bishop Atkins will leave for Seattle today for the purpose of holding the annual conference, and anticipates makinsr visits to all the principal cities of the conference. It wed to be held that cotton seel meal was poisonous to hogs. Experiments have lately been made in several states which show that this is not true. While u yet declining to give it hearty indorsement, the experts recommend its use under certain conditions.
