HeMcRed-.Kxodus Circa tot In Years. Korel.cn workmen of all nationalities are leaving Portland In large numbers every day to spend the holidays with members of their families In Kurope. The exodus this year Is greater Than that of aeveral previous years, say steamship ticket agents. The recent disagreeable weather has prevented outdoor work In many rail road construction camps where num erous laborers of this class are em ployed. Rather than remain Idle, hun dreds of them who otherwise would have prolonged their stay In America a few weeks have quit their lobs and bought tickets for the "old country Kully $0 per cent of them buy one way tickets, not Indicating necessarily that they will not return, but rather that they have not determined tha length of their stay In their native country. A few are buying round-trip tickets, good returning early In the Spring. Borne are preparing to bring their families with them when they return. Nearly every railroad ticket office also handlea steamsnip tickets. Mon .ny and yesterday snw the counters of all these places crowded with for eigners seeking transportation. The rule recently adopted by the Transcon tinental Passenger Association, muklng the fare from Portland to New Tork about II lower If paid In connection with European steamship transports tlon. has reaulted In the heaviest sale of ocean trips In record In this city. Formerly many of this class of travel ers bought railroad tickets here and then waited until reaching New Tork before buying ateamsblp passage. As a rule the foreign workmen In returning to Europe travel steerage In which class all of them traveled In coming to America. Somto of the more prosperous ones, however, are buying second-cabin passage. Included In the travel parties of tha last few days have been a large num ber of Turks, who are hastening home with the hope of Jolnlnc the army and participating In the. war with Italy. The holiday season la annually the magnet that draws many to their na tive towns and cities. Soini old men who have been earning their living In America almost since they were boys rave supported wives and families In Europe all these years, making a trip across tha water every three, four or Ore years to spend tha Christmas period with them. One man. past CO, who bought a ticket at the Burlington office yester day morning, said that this was to be his last trip. lie has earned enough to provide himself and his family with all the comforts that tbey will need, and will spend the reat of his Ufa In his little cottage In Servla, where his wife and three children are waiting for him. This will be bis eighth trip acrosa the Atlantic, as ha haa visited his family three timea since coming; to America the first time. Steamship agenta in the East report that the European travel Is heavier than usual this year. Indicating that orklngmrn are more prosperous, but at the same time showing that their services are not aa much In demand as they were last year. COPENHAGEN AGENT HERE Olio JVlMrap, of sia.-tcrn Asiatic I.lnc, Nt-an Shipping Trade. Otto Jelstrap. representing the East ern Asiatic rteamsn:p company, or Copenhagen, has been In Portland tor the last few days looking over oppor tunities here for his steamships for present cargoes and to arrange for fu ture business. Ills company haa shipped a number of lumber cargoes from different ports on this Coast. There Is considerable secrecy about tha visit of Mr. Jelstrap and It Is believed his ultimata -object la to have vessels of his line run regularly from this port to the Orient. I am visiting here ror a rew aays. looking over shipping conditions and want to obtain a cargo for one or our vessels." said Mr. Jelstrap. "I am waiting to aee T. K. Wilcox In the morning. From what I can learn the Portland merchants are not willing to take sufficient chances on foreign ship ments so long as they can eell to one another at home for an equal profit. They have to learn that the business of the future will be In foreign trad. When the Panama Canal Is completed the shipping buslnesa of the Pacific Coast will have to be adapted to .new conditions and then tue company which I represent may be tn the Held for business from this Coast."

"I believe that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company owes the City of Portland a great deal. It has received thousands of dollars In valua ble franchises from the city and for which the municipality received no compensation. I remember reading that when Eastern men purchased the control of this corporation these fran chises were reckoned in the millions. These franchises were largely obtained through the friendliness of City Coun cils. It would only be moral restitu tion for this company to grant to the people of Portland the reduced fares and the owl-car service. WEEK OF PRAYER IS HERE Observance Joined In by T. M. O.
