Board of Trade Points Out Need of Place IVhere I,arfre Conven tions May Meet. A movement has been Inaugurated by the Board of Trade to bring- about In Portland the erection of a large conven tion hall suitable to the Increasing needs of the city. Definite steps have not yet been taken other than the decision to begin a campaign for such a building, but the approval of many members of the or ganization has been gained, and It has been determined to bring the matter be fore the next meeting of the excutive committee of the board. October IS, when plans will be discussed and the project definitely launched. It Is the desireof the members of the board who are behind the proposition to provide Portland with an auditorium seat ing at least 10,000. They believe that the city is in urgent need of such a structure for the accommodation of large conven tions and for public meetings of various characters. There Is no idea of erecting a building for theatrical purposes, but simply for meetings which are In every way public, and which shall be put up by general subscriptions or by the city for municipal purposes. "Our Idea Is to build a two or three story structure, 150x200,'' said J. B. Laber. secretary of the Board of Trade, in ex plaining the- plans which are now under way. "It would cost about $60,000 for the building, which amount would be probably raised to $100,000 with the additional ex pense of fitting It up in the way we de sire. It should be centrally located and be a structure to which Portlanders might point with pride. "In considering the matter It has oc curred to us that probably the most suit able sites to be found would be one of the public blocks along Park street. It Is probable that the city wou.u donate a site for such a purpose, as the building would be in every way a public structure, the chief use of which would be the en tertainment of large conventions. "Portland at present Is in no position to handle large conventions of National scope. None of the theaters Is large enough to accommodate such a body, and the Armory, although large, is not fitted for such a purpose. Yet the Importance of bringing these bodies to Portland can not be overestimated, and one of the most urgent needs is such a building as we propose to work for. "Our suggestion would be that the building be two or three stories in height. The lower floor would be devoted to the auditorium and the upper stories to the gallery and to exhibit rooms. The city could be bonded for the erection of the building and It would prove one of the most valuable of the municipal structures. "The exhibit feature would be an im portant one. A permanent display could be kept which would be open at all times, and the location would be central so that It would be convenient for strangers. For example, the exhibits in the City Hall could be removed to this building and the display would doubtless be augmented by many loans and donations from private citizens." Girl Robbed In Streets. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 11. As she was walking along Pierce street near Jackson last night. Miss Helen Sazlg, who resides at 2401 Scott street, was suddenly seized by two thugs, one of whom grabbed her by the throat from behind while the other tore from her the purse which hung from her belt. The man also attempted, in spite of her screams and frantio efforts to get away from them, to wrest her rings from her fingers. She struggled so violently, however, that they gave over the attempt, and finally they heard some, approaching pedestrians and took to the woods, leaving her half fainting on the uldewalk. WANTS HOE OF ITS OWN BOARD OF TRADE AVILli ERECT OFFICE BUILDING. Corporation Formed by Members . and Site Already Selected for Big;, Modern Skyscraper. A large and modern home for the Portland Board of Trade will soon be erected by that organization If the pres ent plans are elarried to completion. A corporation has been formed among the members of the board, and it is said that plans have been well matured, although all of the details have not yet been made public. Papers of Incorporation were filed yes terday for the Board of Trade Building Company, which is the corporation through which th new structure Is to be erected. The Incorporators are E. L. Barnett. E. R. HIckson and R. W. Wil bur, and the capital stock is $150,000. It Is said that a site for the new build ing has already been selected, although members of the board are not yet ready to make public- Its location. The building will be either eight or ten stories high, according to the present plans. It will be ai business and office building with at least one story devoted to the uses of the Board of Trade. The amount of stock subscribed and the names of those holding shares are among the details kept secret for the present. The offices of the Board of Trade are now on the lower floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. The organization has felt the need of larger quarters and the movement to provide a spacious and modern building has been under way for some time. This is the second of the local commercial bodies to take up the matter of erecting a large building, the Commercial Cub now having stock sub scribed for the costruction of one o the finest structures in the city. Contracts for Pasco Cut-Off. TACOMA. Wash., .Oct. 11. Contracts have been let and work will soon begin on the Pasco cut-off, the new Portland & Seattle line from Pasco to Spokane.

Building Inspector Spencer Is preparing to notify each one of the lessees and owners of the buildings In which Chinese gambling is conducted that the heavy barred doors will have to be removed. In accordance with the announcement which was made by Mayor Lane several days ago. The proprietors will be forced to take away the heavy barricades under the authority of a section of the building ordinance. Section 1M of the building or. dinance provides that the Building...' specior may oraer removed anv Dortlr a structure which he believes is d& ous to the inmates, as a precifV, against fire. Mr. Spencer has deci. that these barricades come under class, and that they will therefore have to go. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT COMPANY 228 Aider St, Between 1st and 2d Sts.
