At the last meeting of the Montavllla Board of Trade It was decided to hold a banquet In the early part of January to promote, the cultivation of roses all through that suburb and In some new suburbs recently platted. A communication was received from the owners of the Ieabo Addition outlining what they desire to do in the beautifying of that tract. Streets are to be parked and Improved and thousands of roses are to be set out. and they de sire the co-operation of the Montavllla Board of Trade in inaugurating a gen eral movement to grow roses. The pro position at onoe received the hearty in dorsement of the Board. A committee was appointed with Secretary William KeVeny as chairman to proceed with the arrangements. The committee has ar ranged to hold the banquet In the ilonta villa Hotel on Hlbbard street. Rose cul ture will be the principal topic and a rose club will there be formed, and some other matters will be considered. It has not yet been settled when the banquet will be held, but the time will be fixed in a few days. Warehouse Deals. C K- Henry A Son yesterday sold for Dr. Andrew C. Smith the quarter block on the southeast corner of Thirteenth and Oilcan streets, to John Klernan, who will at once pro ceed to erect a brick building thereon for tenants. It was sold for 130.000. C. K. Henry A Son and D. S. Stearns sold to a California investor for Richard Koehler the half block on Thirteenth and Pettygrove. This will probably be Im proved In the early Spring. This property was sold for (40,000. The same Arm has for sale a quarter block on Fourteenth and Olisan streets for JG0.000. a quarter block on Eleventh and Everett streets at $35,000, and a good quarter block on Seventeenth and Irving streets at 118.000. They also have a number of other good properties for sale at right prices. It Is amusing, however, to see the attitude of some of those owning vacant quarters In the so-called warehouse district, some being holes In the ground without streets about them, asking more for a quarter block than half blocks are being sold for. A number of those who will not im prove their property nor let others do so, but who hold out for big prices, state that It does not cost them very much to carry same. The Assessor will be pro vided with a list of those, and the prices they want to be paid, as well as what positive cash offers have been made for them, that they may pay their share of the taxes. If you want to buy or sell your property and your prices are In accord with going prices, call upon C K. Henry A Son. Saves Fiance From Rockpilb.

F., held its last meeting last night in the old hall, on Grand avenue and East Pine street, prior to moving into the new building on East Sixth street. There was a large attend ance and a social time was had. Only one charter member, J. Jeroleman, wag present, all the others having died or moved away since the date of the first meeting. Orient Lodge was started May IS. 1S67, over 41 years ago, and the hail was built on East Oak and Bast Eleventh streets in 1870. afterwards being moved to Grand avenue. While there was a feeling of elation that the handsome new temple on East Sixth street Is finished there was also some touch of sadness In the farewell to the old building, in which the lodge members had been gathering for so many years and where so many happy times had been spent. A chair was ordered by Mr. Jeroleman to be placed in the new hall, he being the sole survivor of the charter roll. Next Wed nesday night a class of 20 or more will be initiated at the first meeting in the new hall, which will bring the total mem bership up to nearly 350. Funeral or Adam Webster.

Maxaroufsky a license to carry on a general auction store on Burnside street, despite the fact that Mayor Lane has repeatedly protested against such action, openly declaring Maxaroufsky to be a bunco man, and one who, when In business, sends a continual string of victims to police headquarters to seek redress for wrongs perpetrated upon them. Councilman Belding and Menefee argued against the license being granted, but Councilman Kellaher, chairman of the license committee, urged that It be passed, as did also Councilman Driscoll. The latter said. "If a man permits him self to be buncoed, he ought to be buncoed." Irrigation for Vallet.

Council Upholds Mayor's Vetoes. The City Council yesterday morning sus tained the vetoes by Mayor Lane on or dinances with which he found fault. The ordinance appropriating $400 for payment to the O. R. A N. Company .for the privi lege of extending the Marquam gulch sewer across the property of that com pany was one of the measures. The Mayor said the privilege should be given the city by the company gratis. The matter was referred to the sewer com mittee. The ordinance authorizing the Executive Board to detail firemen to theaters was also vetoed and the veto sustained. Gets Bjoht-ot-Wat Free. The mem bers of the committee on sewers, of the City Council, perpetrated what they con sider an excellent Joke on Mayor Lane yesterday afternoon, by securing from tho O. R. A N. Company, a right-of-way across the corporation's property In South Portland for an out-let to the Marquam gulch sewer, without cost to the city. Mayor Lane had endeavored to do the same thing, but failed, and therefore vetoed the ordinance making an appro priation of H00 to ray for the right-of-way. The Council sustained the veto during the 'morning session. Must String Wires Rioht. At the morning session of the City Council yes terday. Councilman Kellaher called the attention of Mayor Lane to the fact, aa reported by City Electrician Bavarian, that none of the public service corpora-. Hons operating In Portland have com plied with the provisions of the ordinance regulating the stringing of wires, the ..njtH een-nrma and other matters per taining to their business. The ordinance was passed one year ago, ana oecame effective but recently. Mayor Lane will see that its provisions are complied with. Mator Before Grand Jurt.

Events of Next Day or Two 3 ray Disclose Which Faction Will Rale in Organization of Lower Hobw McArthor Lead. Friends of the three leading rival can didates for the Speakership McArthur, Campbell and Bean promise some Inter esting developments not later than the close of the week. It is even Intimated that the promised announcements will come very near settling the contest. John C MoCue, of Clatsop County, tentative candidate for Speaker, will be in Port land today or tomorrow, when something may take place. The McArthur forces have been seeking to bring a, bout McCue's retirement in the interest of McArthur's candidacy. Should McCue formally with draw, McArthur's friends are counting on the votes of McCue and his colleague, Lemenweber, In the Speakership fight. Senator Bowerman will reach Portland today and will spend at least a part of the holidays in the Interest of his can didacy for President of the Senate. Statement Men Lack Leader. One thing Is very apparent. Lack of leadership among the Statement or antl MoArthur forces end their failure to se lect a candidate for Speaker that can command the solid support of those who would defeat the Multnomah County man are the very contingencies of which Mc Arthur Is making the most. It is known that the ' opposition to iMcArthur is di vided between Campbell and Bean and efforts to Induce either to yield to the other have failed hopelessly. Both de clare they are in the field to stay. In the meantime. It Is reported that certain of the Statement men, tiring of what amounts to a deadlock in making a choice of Speaker, nave begun to look around for some candidate strong enough to amalgamate the Bean and Campbell following Into a united opposition to Mc Arthur. That Is tho goal of the standpat Statement members the defeat of Mc Arthur, It matters not who the candidate must be.- They are determined to retire the Multnomah County man from the field. ' McArthur, however. Is making the most of the more or less chaotic condition that exists in the ranks of the enemy. It Is contended by the friends of McArthur that the longer the Statement forces re main divided among themselves the better McArthur's chances are for winning out. He is said to be making inroads into the ranks of the opposition in his efforts to secure signatures to a call for a caucus of 31 members of the House. At the same time the signers of such a document so far aa secured are loyal supporters of McArthur. who feels confident that he will be able prior to the meeting of the Legislature to insure not only a caucus but his nomination at the hands of a majority of the members, of the House. McArttror Has Advantage It la further alleged by McArthur's friends that toe situation is such that he will profit by the retirement either of Campbell or Bean, for the reason, they ay. that It will be Impossible for either to deliver to the other his full strength In case some agreement is reached by which one of them lies down. Several of the Statement men are pledged first to Bean or Campbell, and should both be dropped and the Statement men decide on an other candidate. It Is represented by the McArthur force that his chances would be Improved two-fold. In that he would gain support from the support both of these rival candidates have signed up. The Statement men are equally con fident of the result. They cannot figure how it will be possible for them to fail to organise the House with a Speaker of their own choosing. To begin with they claim a standpat strength of 18 members, not including McDonald, who has re pudiated his pledge but who. say the antl-iMoArthur people, will be forced back into line. This would make a total of 14, as follows: .-ouch. Orton. Bryant, Alt man, Jaeger, Mahone, Davis and McDon ald, of Multnomah; Patton, LIbby and Hatteberg. of. Marlon: Barret, of Uma tilla: Jones, of Lmcoln and Polk: and Jones, of Douglas. It Is further repre sented toy the Statement people that when the time comes they will 'be supported In their efforts to elect a Speaker in op position to McArthur by the following six members who formally have not en tered into any such agreement by a writ ten pledge: Campbell, candidate for Speaker, and his two colleagues, Jones and Dimlck, of Clackamas: Rusk, of Union and Wallowa; Richardson, of Union, and Mariner, of Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler. Prefer McArthur to Campbell. That the Statement men can count on the siiDoort of a majority of the six members last named is denied positively by the McAtthvr people, who declare that Rusk and Richardson will have nothmg to do with anv programme with which Campbell, candidate for Speaker, Is af filiated and that before they will vote for Campbell they will be found support ing McArthur. The Statement men, how ever, are depending unhesitatingly on the sTinnort of Mariner on the euengtn or the fact that Mariner was opposed by Bowerman In the election. It is claimed hr the Statement forces that because of that opposition. Bowerman bem linked with iMcArthur In the fight for organizing the Legislature, Mariner will never stand for McArthur or any other rnena oi Bowerman.
