Will Ask for Depot. The Monta villa Hoard of Trade will ask the O. R. & N. Rai'wav Company to establish a pas senger and freight depot on the siding in North Montavule. A strip of land 1."j0 feet long was bought and presented to the railroad company several years ago by the people of Montavilla with the understanding that when It would pay a passenger and freight depot would be established. It Is considered that such depot would be justified by the bus! ness it could now handle. There is a big territory surrounding this siding. New tracts are being opened up. The Gregory Seattle Syndicate is platting an 80-acr tract and a tract called the Leabo Addition is being platted a short way from this siding. A big lot of produce is required Tor the neighborhood, besides building material, which it Is considered would mako a depot psy the company.

BETTER GOODS BOUGHT Department Stores All Say Trade Surpas.e8 Any Previous Year Both in Volume and In Class of Goods Sold. It has cost the people of the City of Portland over a million and a half of dollars to make Christmas merry for others and to bring good cheer to them selves. Never in the city's history has there been such holiday buying, never have people seemingly been so plentifully supplied with money, and since Thanks giving -the town has been a riot of Christ mas shopping. Among the business men at the postoffice. the express offices, mes sengers and delivery offices, and, in fact, with every man, woman and child who has had work In connection with the holiday -trade, all 'say that any previous record of Christmas buying has been hopelessly snowed under. The education of "do your shopping early" has been wonderfully effective. And it has been an education, for the matter had been taken up by woman's clubs and other kindred organizations throughout the country, ' and in every department store and among merchants all over the city, they to a man said that they had been tremendously aided In handling their holiday trade because of this education. "Buy early and buy expensive things" seems to have been the unspoken slogan of the vast army of people who were filled with the spirit of Christmas with its "Peace on earth, good will to men," for at each place of business visited yeeterday, it was the same story "Not only have the people bought more this year than they did last year, or ever before, but they have bought all the way through a better grade of presents." Million and Half Spent. A million and one-half dollars has been spant since Thanksgiving for Christmas presents. This estimate was placed by conservative business men, not by one but by several, and they were of the opinion that the figure was much less than was actually spent. From all ac counts the two big buying days were Saturday last and Tuesday. These were two banner days at Olds, Wortman & King and at the Meier & Frank Com pany. At Lipman, Wolfe & Co. they had one day last year that was larger than any one das' of this year, but from the point of goods sold and money spent, the big day of 1907 did not compare with several days of this year. Weather conditions have helped all branches of business and it is only the express company, the postoffice and a few of the general delivery companies that are behind in their deliveries. All were prepared for a prosperity Christmas, but they had no idea that the flood of business would be so great. Over In the registry department of the postoffice they are swamped. Postmaster Minto, however, hopes to get all of the pack ages delivered early next week. Now that the sending of mail is over, he sending force will -be turned over to the delivery department, and the work will be cleaned up with a rush. This is also true with the express companies. Thanksgiving. The campaign that was started all over the country by the woman's clubs has done a great work and the great rush was over yesterday, although there Is almost as much buying today as there was any one day last year. The buying this year has been simply tremendous." "You cannot compare this holiday sea son with anything that has come and gone in Portland," said I. N. Lipman,' "for all former records have been hope lessly smashed. There was nothing spotted about the buying this year, as there was last. It has been a steady, high-class buying, .beginning with the days after Thanksgiving Money never was so plentiful and people never seemed so willing to spend it." Vesterrlav was also greeting day. In addition to the busy messenger boy. the busy city expressman and the rest of the busy holiday-bent people, the telephone operators came in for their share of the hard work. All day long and far into the blinking hours of the morning the telephones were used for the cheerfui exchange of Christmas greetings and many a "Merry Christmas" was sent over the wires. AT THE QUELLE. Special dinner will be served today. from 11 to 8; special a la carte service; also very fine crawfish. MASQUERADE. Tonight. Murlark Hall. Twenty-third and Washington streets.

Testerdav was the busiest day for the florists and the messenger offices. From early morning until long after midnight boys laden with packages were flitting over the city streets, making belated de liveries. Like everything else, more flowers were sold this year than ever before. Thousands of dollars was spent In flowers alone, so that each dinner table would be decorated today. Not all of tho flowers went for this purpose, for many beautiful blossoms went to the hospitals to cheer the beds of sick, pa tients. It was Indeed a merry, merry Christmas for everybody and it' seems that every body had plenty of money to spena. Julius Meier said: "We have never done such a Christmas trade since the firm began business. People have bought a better class of goods than ever before and I have never seen money so pienxi ful. Saturday and Tuesday were our biggest days. On account of the crowd ed condition of our store, we were handi capped, but next year we will have double the floor space and we will not have to close the doors, as we did a couple of days this year. The fact that people bought so mucn ana so mvisiuj, shows without doubt that the prosperity which was promised is wun us. Better Than Any Other Year. "No holiday shopping' in any former year can compare with the season of iis " said H. C. Wortman yesterday afternoon, "and the store has enjoyed the greatest Christmas trade in its history- The buvlng has been steady since DINNER GIVKX TO HUNGRY Volunteers and Salvation Army Have Made Active Preparations, There will be Christmas dinners and a lot of holiday cheer dispensed by the Volunteers of America today. Already the Volunteers. Major John T. Foulkes, have made arrangements to serve dinner to over 200 homeless men. Not only has the organization made arrangements to care for the needy, they have also nun dreds of well-stocked baskets that they have been giving to the wortfiy poor who were unable to buy food for a Christmas dinner. The baskets contain either a fowl of some sort or an eight-pound piece of roast beef, together with butter and other vegetables that go to make a good. wholesome dinner. Tickets calling either for a basket or a dinner have been freely distributed. Those who are deserving of this charity will find tickets and the baskets at 24t Couch street, from 9 to 11 A. M., and from 4 to 6 P. M. today. The Salvation Army has also been ac tive In preparing for Christmas dinners. Tripods from which are suspended iron kettles, together with a soldier attending, have been stationed at many street cor ners and the contributions of the public have been solicited. The Army expects to feed many hungry and homeless men today. .

BISHOf SCADDING'S CHRISTMAS GREETING TO EPISCOPAL DIOCESE Bishop Scadding has sent out the following Christmas greeting to the clergy and laity of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon: A Merry Christmas to you one and all, my dear members of our diocesan family. At this joyous season my heart goes out in loving greeting to all our clergy and laity, to the faithful in active city parish, to friends without the diocese, to the patient and sometimes discouraged workers In our distant missions, to ranchers far away, who can have no opportunity to make their Christmas communions, to our Auxiliary women, and the dear children, to the occasional wor shiper with us, and also to those baptized and confirmed members of our Father's family who rarely, if ever, "praise God In the congrega tion" to all may God give in abundance the cheer and consolations of the Christian truth. How all thoughts of self, of our successes and failures, of the indifference of friends, of the unresponsiveness of fellow-workers, of false judgments of our actions, and misinterpretations of our motives, take to themselves wings and fly away, and- our hearts glow with joy and love when we meditate on the marvel of the Incarnation, on the great wonder of the love of God. The world apart from Christ gives us no adequate assurance that God is love, although Robert Browning has taught us to say "He that created love, shall he not love?" But that God is love It is this that our Lord guarantees. It Is this love which furnishes the motive power to carry out the object of the Incarnation expressed In the command of Christ, "As the Father hath sent me. even so send I you." The call of the Incarnation to you and me is personal and complete. We are asked to Invest our selves. The motive, after all. which must move the church is not pro portionate giving or systematic giving, pleas for money, various Incite ments to duty, or the crying needs of heathen at home or the heathen abroad. It is the example and direct command of the Incarnate Lord. The "as" and the "so" of that command are equal. His coming Into the world cost him poverty, persecution, agony, and crucifixion. He gripped the world by renouncing it, and we must continue and com plete his work as his commissioned ones, for he invests us with the same programme of renunciation, and the same promise of victory. I call upon you, dear people, to Invest ypurstlves, body, soul and mind. In the service of our Incarnate Master; then there will be no "mission ary problem." and no lack of means for church support. The Incarna tion of the Son of God Is not a speculation of the understanding. It is Incomparably the greatest fact in the whole history of our race, and as such it Imposes on us corresponding moral duties, so that it is no exaggeration to say: "Were the whole realm of Nature mine. That were an ofTerlng far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Hemanils my soul, my life, my all." CHARLES SCADDING. Bishop of Oregon.
