Tells of Oppression of His People and Growth of Reform Work. Substantial and enthusiastic IndnrM- ment was accorded the Home Rule cause in Ireland at a larcely nttendxd mtlnr Cf the Irish-American and other citizens At Merrill' Hall ywUrd.y (tn00n. Th principal arldres- was delivered by Thomas" M. Kttlo. t - younire-t mcinhcr or the Irish National Party in the British Parliament. Dr. Andrew C. Smith was chairman, of the -meetlnR. Introductory and iuppliBentr- addr8nei were m rl o by J. HrnnerBy Murphy, prrnldent of the .local Irish-American Union, ana, f, h. TVArcy. of Salem, who Introduced resolu tion m InrtorBlnir the rauH- of the Trt-h peo ple, which were adopted wit h one voice. At the Close of the meeting subscrtp tUns mrsrpgra.t!nir Approximately tlMft were made to the campaign fund that will -e expndwl In the Interest of the caue and in maintaining the fight for the de- sired Horn Rule legislation. J. Adrian Bp ping Introduced the exer-"l"e- with a nolo. "T.et Krln Remember." Rfuponrtlng; to n encore, he sans "The Wearing 0' the Green." J. Hennessy Murphy delivered the opening address, a masterly effort, charged with - eloquent reference to those Irishmen who active ly MPjsted the colonists in achieving their independence. He said he hoped that the present occasion would be the last appeal nece-sary in hehalf of the op pressed people of Ireland, but whether or not such wan the case, the patriots in Portland could be depended upon to con- tlnue their efforts (n support of any cause that had for its aim the 'restoration to frdom of Ireland. He made an earnest ppeal for the generous support of "those intrepid young1 parliamentaries who have marshalled their forces for a final as- au It on the battlements of a refined feudalism and arroKan t Want More Than Sympathy, Tn presenting Mr. Kettle to his audi enoe. I v Andrew C. Smith said tliat more than maudlin sympathy was needed In siiTOorVof the Home Rule pause. The I'ha'rman supplemented the appeal of Mr. Sfurphy for adequate aid In the fight that 1 expected to culminate In "restoring: to lrelar.d the ri&tits that were so unjustly taken from her." r. Kettle, who was Introduced a the "younReit member In the politics of Ire land and the youngest son of one of -Ireland's most honorable sires,' delivered j-n address that held the closest atten tion of his auditors for HO minutes In spite of the frigid atmosphere of the hail. U rtvlawd briefly his observations of -America and its institutions with strik ing comparative all.islons to the oppres sion to which Ireland has been subjected for the lan 700 years. He commented on the unanimity of sent'ment among Ameri cans In support of the fight for Home rtule in Ireland, remarking- that the pub licly expressed sympathy in that direc- lion by President Roosevelt and William JennlnKS Bryan, leaders of the opposing political parties, in this country, was in disputable proof of that unanimous sentl mpnt, "How is Old Ireland, and how does she stand?" said Mr. Kettle. "She does not stand. She merely moves alona. The world has witnessed many revolutions, but no greater revolution was ever known than that which has existed in Ireland during- the last quarter of a century. In that length of time this country has moved along more rapidly and to more radical conclusions than lias any other country In Europe. Ijind-LootlnK Was Easv. "TWentV-flVS Venrs n.o .inH.v. "T ........ Kltrhtg.' the holder of land had no legal iik.ks ana nin property could be wrested from him on the slightest provocation Today two-fifths of the 20.000.000 acres in Ireland are under the sole ownership and control of tenant farmers. Of the 520 000 occupiers of land. 160.000 are owners The landlords are being eliminated. Where landlordism 1S not already dead in Ire land, It Is under sentence of death. Ten years from today landlordism will only be of Interest to museums as political antiquity, while the landlords of former times will be found only on the wsm-a- tlon where a monument should be erect- ed bearing the Inscription : -last Surv'v ors or the Irish landlords.

'but the member-. are elected through a very democratic machinery. In fact, the last 25 years has seen as sweeping a revolution in Ire land as the bloody French Revolution." Great Increase In Taxes. Mr. Kettle then discussed the' present Irish government and Its administration nt the Judiciary and Its educational and crlmin. departments. He asserted that since is the rate or taxation In Ireland had Increased 1811 rer cent while In the same lengrth of time the tax rate In ETna Innd had been reduced 11 per cent not withstanding the people. or Ireland had teen promised that their country should e taxed only at the same rate as was nff1and. He further presented statis tics showlnic that in 1848 the population t inland wan one-third u great as that of England while In YQl the population VJ" Treland was only one-ninth that or JE-.;land. Since 1SS6. the speaker declared that the population of Ireland had de- nmK Vo&M wWl the annual taxation exacted of the Irish had increased S. SfcO.OOO per annum.

Brother Secretary, you will please call the name of our deceased brother." Secretary Coffey called air. Baker's name three times. "In vain we call upon him; he has passed into the light which is beyond the valley of the shadow of death: the places that have known him ahall know him no more, -and once more we are called upon to realize that In the midst of life we are In death: that he who watches over all our destinies has the spirits of the departed under his watchful care. and on the last great day will again unite the chain of fraternal love so recently broken. My brothers, ere we consign forever the remains of our deceased worthy brother to the bosom of our com mon mother, the earth, it is tit and proper that we should, as Elks, testify to his faithful adherence to the grand object of our order."

FINE VIEW OF MOUNTAINS Thousands of Portland People Mere Out Yesterday to Enjoy the Rare Beauty of the Weather and Gorgeous Sunset. Majestic Mount Hood and the snow covered foothills about Us base com manded respect and admiration anew Trom Oregon lan s yesterday and every man, woman and child in the city had something to say about the beauty of the mountains and the rare Winter's day. It is seldom that - Portland experiences as perfect a Winter day as Sunday proved. perfect not only from the standpoint or sunshine and gloriously tinted skies And eorseous mountain panorama, but the air was cold, snappy and exhilarating. Port land's sunny days of Winter are wont to be balmy and warm, so yesterday's ex- ception was thoroughly enjoyed and hun dreds of citizens strolled about the streets and visited the heights to enjoy the stimulating effect of frosty air and sun- shine combined. The frost of Saturday night was rather severe, and yesterday in shady spots the ground was frozen on top and the rime crackled under foot. But It was in the direction of the mountain ranges that real Winter was apparent. At the foot of both Mount Hood and St. Helens the tensive fields of snow were plainly visible to the naked eye. and the timber, which generally looks a deep Indigo from this distance, was almost entirely enveloped in a mantle of white. From Council Crest. Portland Heights or the tops of high buildnKW--tjii - effect was most picturesque, and many Interested In the scene had their binoculars out for the oc- caslon. The rain; which have been deluging the ttiiiamotfr Vnllev evidently fell in the form of snow In the mountainous regions, and the effect of the storm, while so grand from thin distance, was probably not so well appreciated by the residents in the foothill country. Here and there throughout the city be lated roses, which have been bloomlnn bravelv during; the hard rains, plainly showed the effect of the heavy frost. Anxious rosarians examined favorite bushes and wondered if It would do any good to cover them up last nlj;ht. While It 13 not probable that the tcod is severe a A iL. enough to narm iruu trees, me ru-s?s may suffer and the pride of - Portland have m. fall In consequence. Small boys, and large ones. too. hoped and prayed for a good still freeze, for tt is rare that the good old sport of skat ins can- be lr.dulRed in In the - Ores: on clime, and It is always anticipated with deep Interest and Keen Joy. and there is small likelihood of real ice this time. As a fitting; close to a perfect day- the sunset was one of the most beautiful ever seen In the' Northwest where they are always magnificent. The effect of the varied colors thrown by the setting, sun on Mount Hood was indescribably gorgeous and .excited the admiration or even the most phlegmatic and unimagin ative. Nature and art lovers went into ecstacles over the wonderful sight, and declared they had never seen its equnl. It was cold, to be sure, and expensive fuel disappeared with alarming rapidity, but everyone enjoyed the rare old Winter day and wished for another Sunday just like It. tanxteratur remained practically Speciality Best Materials and Workmanship Lowest Prices Third earance Carving Sets Infants' Wear Flannel Gowns Knit Wear PyrograpKy Coeds Veilings, Notions Buttons, Shfles Slippers,, Etc., Etc, Clocks, Watches " Table.

CAR SHORTAGE REMEDY System of Warehouses Would Solve tlie Problem. PORTIAND. Jan. 5. (To the Edi tor.) Allow me space in The Orego- nfan to suggest a remedy for the car shortage which Is now giving the'rall- roaas as well as the people so much trouble. The recommendation, by the Inter state Commerce Commission to provide a car clearing- house is impracticable, in my judgment. Had the commission recommended a system of freight clear ing -houses to be located at all im portant points along the trunk lines they would have hit the nail on the head : in other words, a system of warehouses should be established at all important points, on all railroad lines in the I'nited States." Jf the rail way companies do not want to go in to the warehouse business let private cap- ital da It".: The railway companies may say thev riave not the room at term inals and . Important points to locate "torage warehouses. It is not neces sary to locate such warehouses In the terminal yards, but near by where they can be reached by switch tracks. The system to be adopted in freight clear ing houses -should be f or the railroad Companies to notify the consignee on arrival of the car. The car must bo unloaded within one day. If it is not unloaded at the esrplrs t Ion of one day It will be switched to the freight clear- In'g house and there be unloaded and extra expense charged for unloading and storing. All that Is necessary to legalize this clearing: house warehouse business Is an act of Congress and tt I in line with the Interstate Com merce Commission to look after the ssme as sny other railroad huslness. Wltn this warehouse system In ef fect all ears could be unloaded within 48 hour from the time they reach their destination. This would not work a hardship on the consignee, as many times the consignee would be glad to have bis freight, unloaded by expe rienced freight handlers and would -be only too glad to pay the expense for unloading: and warehousing the gooda until such t ime as they could receive them.
