IS One of America's Most Famous Singers Soon to Appear in Portland PORTLAND CHINESE MAY ABANDON WORSHIP OF GREAT JOSS GUM JI Meeting to Be Held Today in the Josshonse at Second Street, When Momentous Question Will Be Decided. THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, POETLAXD, OCTOBER 28, 1906. Weak Men Mew Furniture Arrivals w. IAj CHINATOWN will gather in a j mass meeting at noon today In the i josshouse at 64'4 Second street, to decide one of the most momentous ques tions ever arising in the district in Port landshall Joss worship be abandoned here? While there are doubts as to the outcome,, it is pretty generally believed the matter will be settled in the affirma tive. Should the meeting decide to defy joss and order that the alleged false god be no longer worshiped, it will be a most re markable thing. Joss worship is as old as the Chinese Empire, and if Portland Chi natown declares against it. this city will stand alone, it is declared, and will be the recognized leader of this reform. Never was there such deep significance in a meeting in Chinatown, and never has a scheduled gathering caused so great commotion. The great subject to be dis cussed is what might well be termed the "paramount issue" in Chinese circles. It is an Issue that leading Chinese say must be settled for all time. Joss worship, with all its heathen rites, has held sway wherever Chinese have gone, and until recent years Portland's KELSO, CASTLE ROCK AND'KALAMA ARE IN A COUNTY SEAT FIGHT WITH three live little cities in the field for the county seat, things promise to liven up a bit over in Cowlitz County, Wash., very shortly. Kalanm now holds the coveted seat of county government, with Kelso and Castle Rock hot on the trail. Yesterday forenoon A. TV. Carner, post master at Castle Rock, arrived in Port land with a certified check for $20,000 to show the good faith of his city in the contest. This check was placed In escrow at a local bank. The citizens of Kelso and Catlln recently placed $15,000 in a Portland bank under similar condtllons. "We feel we should have the county seat and are going to make an active campaign for the place," said Postmaster Carner, who is secretary of the Castle Rock county seat committee. ''The mat ter will be decided at the county polls, and the town that can carry a three fifths' vote gets the plum. Castle Rock ought to be the county seat, and I be lieve It will bo. Kelso made the claim that we were not in earnest, that we were talking much but giving no sub stantial evidences of our good faith. This check for fl'O.oOO however, should establish that we mean business.' in depositing the draft with the Bank ers & Lumbermen's Bank, the Castle Rock representative left the following statement of comiitions under which the deposit was made: Castle. Rock, Wash., Oct. 26. This draft, drawn by the Castle Rock Bank, No. 16074, on the Merchants' National Bank, of Portland, Dr., for the sum of twenty thousand ($20,KH.00) dollars, pay able to the Board of County Commission ers of Cowlitz County, Washington, is to be deposited in escrow with Bankers & Lumbermen's Bank, of Portland, Or., un der the following conditions, to wit: The voters of Cowlitz County, Washington, will vote upon the question of moving the county peat of rend county to Castle Rock, Wash., at the regular election to be held November , llHHi. In the event that Castle Rock - shall receive three tifths of the vote cast for county seat, and the same be shown by the certifi cate of the County Auditor, on the result of said election, and Castle Rock be made the county seat of sMd county, then and COL. ROESSLER RETURNS VISITED SEATTLE TO COXFEK WITH ALASKA PILOTS. llliicliiiibrook Island Station to Be Equipped With Flashing Light mid Other Appliances. Iiieutonant-Calonel S. "V. Ropssler, of the Vnitfd States Knslneera, returned yester day from Seattle, where he went "with Com mander J. P. Werllch to confer with the Alaska pilots relative to the placing of the lights ami fos signals on Hinchln brook Island at the entrance to Prince "William ound. The conference was held In the t. S. Knpineers' office at Seattle and all the pilots who were in port at the time were in attendance. Those pres ent In addition to I.teutenant-Colonel Rocssler and Commander "Werlich. were Captains Slianw. Kniuison, Morse. Olsen and IxMinan. am the miKsestions pres ented bv the 1'nitod States ofiicials met with the unanimous approval of the navi gators. "The positions thnt had been tentatively "selected bv Commander "Werlich and my self," sahl Colonel Roessler yesterday, "were unanimously adopted as being the most feasible as well as the most advan tageous to navigation. Our recommenda tions will be forwarded to the lighthouse board of approval, after which the work will be taken up in earnest. The lens of the lantern will have to bo manufac turncrl in tlermany, for there are no fac tories In this) country which turn out this class of work, and this part of tho equip ment will have to be ordered months in advance of the other material on account of the time necessary to secure delivery. The other portions of the work will be purchased or manufactured In America. The board as well as the pilots favor a flashing light Instead of a fixed light and this recommendation has also been ap proved by Commander Werlich and my self." When asked about the sum of money authorized recently by the "War Depart ment for the purpose of maintaining and reconstructing the tramway on the Co lumbia River jetty. Colonel Roessler slated that until the oftlcial notification of the authorization of this expenditure reaches him he could not make any official statement, except that the local engin eers' otrice had made a request for the 5um mentioned in order to keep the works at the mouth of the Columbia in repair until the jetty work of next season is taken up. Commander Werlich, and Captain Hughes Sebree will leave down on an inspection tour of the Thirteenth light house district on Monday morning. The lighthouse tender Heather is being fitted with supplies for a laug cruise, for before she returns to Portland the vessel will carry Commander Werlich to the Alaska points where light stations are maintained. Captain Sebree is secretary of the United States Lighthouse Board and will Inspect the stations along the Oregon and Washington Coast. DOCK LABORERS IX FIGHT. Vnion Longshoremen and Nonunion Grainhaiullers Engage in Battle. . A riot occurred in a saloon at 129 Rus sell street at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon ia which union longshoremen and non Chinatown, as all others, has observed all of the traditions and customs attached to the service. Every year, until this year, great pomp and splendor have marked the feast of the dead spirits, but it was a lamentable failure this time. Only a., few clung to the faith and fell down at the shrine 'of joss, while hundreds looked on in mocking laughter and jeers. "Away with joss and all the heathen customs accompanying the worship," la the cry of the reformers In Chinatown, and they are among the most powerful factors in the district. Wealthy mer chants, whose influence is vast, have de clared against joss worship, and will tneet with their less fortunate brothers in a common cause this' noon to discuss the momentous question of "joss or no joss." Those who are reckoned good orators among the Chinese reform element will be called upon to address the gathering, and their chief argument in favor of the aban doning of Joss worship will be that it is nothing but superstitious fear and igno rant adoration that causes .the Chinese to bow down to the heathen god, and that if China ever becomes a great nation and her people abroad become recognized 'as intelligent, joss must be dethroned and Western education set up in his stead. In that event the above-mentioned draft shall be turned over to the said Board of County Commissioners for the purpose of paying part of the expenses in such re moval of the county seat. In. the event Castle Rock does not receive the neces sary three-fifths of the vote for county seat, which will be shown by the County Auditor's certificate, then and in that event, the above-mentioned draft shall be returned to G. 1. Buland. Treasurer of county seat committee, to be by him re turned to the subscribers making up the amount of this draft. G. L-.. BULAND, Treasurer. A. W. CARNERS, Secretary, H. N. PEA BODY, Chairman. When the citizens of Kelso deposited $15,000 in a Portland bank, a similar agreement and a receipt were taken, as follows: Messrs. Ladd & Ttlton, Portland. Or. Gentlemen: I hereby deposit with you, as trustees, fifteen thousand ($15,000.00) dollars, being the amount subscribed by citizens of Kelso and Catlin, Wash,, for the purpose or building a Courthouse at Kelso.

Dunham, the treasurer as aforesaid, on account of the subscribers to said fund. lADD & TILTON. union grain-handlers participated. 3everal men were badly hurt in the mlxup, but before Policemen Goltz and Courtney reached the scene all of the fighters had fled. The riot grew out of the recent strike. Fitter feelings among union and nonunion men became so strong that, when a band of each faction met in the saloon a fight ensued. The 'battle raged hot and fierce for several minutes. The bartender tele phoned to police headquarters for officers, and Captain Moore dispatched Patrolmen Golti and Courtney, but all was quiet when they arrived, as the long run re quired half an hour." The police claim tnat. had there been a sub-station on the East Side, as is badly needed, officers could have been rushed to the scene in -time to have made some ar rests. ACTIVITY OX UPPER RIVER Steamboats Now Have All the Busi ness They Can Handle. Steamboating' on the Upper Columbia River was never more lively than it is at the present time, according to Frank J. Smith, superintendent of the water lines of the Open-River Transportation Company. Captain Smith calls atten tion to the fact that there have been no accidents of a serious character to any of the vessels of the Open-River fleet, which have been in continuous operation all Summer, the most danger ous time of year, on the Upper River. In fact, the only accident recorded between Celilo and the Snake River was the sinking of the little gasoline boat Mata C. Hover, which has since been raised, and is now running again. The steamers Relief. Norma, W. R. Todd and Mountain Gem, and lie gaso line boats Mata C. Hover and Island Queen, have operated successfully for several months, and nave carried . all freight offered. This is remarkable on account of the fact that no Improvements whatever have been made by the Government, and the river is practically the same as It has been for many decades. Ac cording to Captain Smith, all of these boats, with two exceptions, have been operated by men not acquainted with the channels of the Upper River. Captain Smith also states that of the vessels being operated at present, only one Is of the type which should be used in such waters. This steamer is the Norma, which is used as supply boat for the contractors on the North Bank Road. The Open-River Company is hand ling all the freight its vessels can car ry at present, and Is bringing out many thousands of bushels of grain. For next season, the outlook is bright. By that time . the company expects to have several new steamboats in oper ation. FOR GRAIN AND LUMBER, Three Vessels Arrive, of Which Two Are Large Steamships. Two more grain vessels 'and a Mg lumber-carrier were afhong the arrivals yes terday; one of them, the British steam ship Strathnairn, reached the city last evening and anchored in the stream off the dolphins. The big steamer comes light from San Francisco, where she dis charged a cargo of cement from Europe, and is under charter to Kerr, Glfford & Co. The other grain ship is the British bark Bankburn, which has Just reached Astoria after a quick pasrage from Hamburg, from which port she sailed on June L The Bankburn baa 13,000 barrels of cement Miss Helen Beach Taw Sure to Win Local Music-Lovers With Her Woaderful Voice. In the appearance of Miss Helen Beach Taw. which occurs on November 7. at the Heilig Theater, there will be an event of unusual importance in local musical circles. Not only will it constitute a welcome to one of the daughters of the Pacific Coast, who has been away for ten years, and who now returns as one of the tew realty great artists1 of the present time, but it also promises an evening of unusual pleasure to the music lovers of Portland and vicinity. The experience which Miss Taw has gained fronxxher ten years abroad with the great masters of Europe, has de veloped a voice which was already won derful, into one of the greatest of the fresent day. The critics both abroad and n America have been very lavish in their praise, and concede that Miss Taw pos sesses one of the very few as well as one of the finest pure lyric soprano voices known today. She is Drobablr the only successor to such famous singers as Patti, semDricn, AieiDa, and otners equally as famed. The importance, therefore, in the coming of Miss Taw, can well be appreciated. It Is being anticipated with the keenest delight. Her youthful appearance lends to her impersonation a charm which older prima donnas can no longer claim, and the remarkable range of her voice, in addition to its wonderful purity, at once captivate her audiences. Miss YaV will visit several of the other leading Coast , cities, including Seattle Tacoma and Vancouver, B. C. She will use the Chickering piano, having re quested the Eilers Piano House to place one at her disposal. Miss Taw's tour is under the direction of Lois Steera-Wynn Comalt consigned to Meyer, Wilson & Co., and will take a cargo of wheat. The other arrival was the big Norwe gian tramp steamship Terje Viken. which is coming for a cargo of lumber and shouloreach here in time to commence loading Monday morning. Marine Notes. The North Pacific Steamship Company's liner Boanoke sailed last evening for San Pedro. The steamship San Mateo left for San Francisco with a cargo of 2,339,700 feet of lumber, loaded at the Eastern & West ern Mill. The steam schooner Johan Poulsen fin ished loading lumber at the Inman. Poul son Mill and left down for San .Francisco last evening. I E. T. Williams & Co. chartered the barkentine Aurora yesterday to load lum ber for San Francisco. She can carry over 1,000,000 feet. The coastwise steamer F. A. Kilburn is. or has been, barbound at either Coos Bay or Eureka. Agent Steelsmith has not heard from the vessel since she left San Francisco. The barge Washington, belonging to the Columbia Contract Company, is being converted into a lumber carrier at the Davis-street dock. She will be loaded and towed to the Bay City.

His Faithful Old Briar Played Him False Milwaukee Mam Pockets Lighted Pipe and Hunts in Vain for l-'lrr, Which Finds Him First. CIRB in the basement of his coat I Wednesday evening caused Alexander Flathead, a worthy citizen of Milwaukie, considerable humiliation as well as some painful impressions. He came home early from his work. When he "knocked off" work he placed his faithful old briar pipe, which also had worked all day,- in his coat-tail pocket, thinking it contained no fire. On reaching his home he remarked to his -wife, "I smell something burning in this house. Tou must be more careful with fire, my dear, or we'll be burned out of house and home some of these days. As the smell of burning cloth increased both searched high and low for the cause, but without success. "Now,' exclaimed Mr. Flathead, "we must And that nre The sentence was not finished, for Mr. Flathead had found the fire, or rather the lire had found him. The flames began to curl up from his coat-tail. The way he peeled off the coat was a caution Next day he ordered a new hat for hie wife on her promise not to say anything about the Incident. But facts will leak out. Company Denies Hazen's Claims. A general denial tdthe complaint in the suit of George W.

One of the Kcw Horses Who Won More Than $100,000 in Purses. Major Daingerfleld, the winner of several of the most notable races In this country, and one of the few horses who won over $100,000. has been sold by Mose Goldblatt to Sam H Lazarus for $5000. He is now at Churchill Downs, In Louisville, where he was thrown out of training two weeks ago, and will be shipped at once to the Texas turfman's ranch, where he will be at the head of the stud. Mr. Lazarus has had a covetous eye on Major Daingerfleld for stud duty for some time, and when he. met Mose Goldblatt, he straightway began to talk business, with the result that the Bale was effected at a figure which Is generally regarded as remarkably low. The horse is big. strong, black, well bred, being by Handspring-Mon Droit, and there is every reason to believe he will be a successful sire.' The exact amount won by Major Daingerfleld is $100,590, and practically all of it was won In the East. His most notable performances were in the Brooklyn Derby, The Tidal, the Annual Champion, the Parkway and the Long Island Handicap. . Major Daingerfleld in his racing days was what many horsemen call a "rogue." He was cunning and tricky, and no trainer seemed to be able to get a line on his disposition. He had great speed and stability, and when he pleased could put up a fine exhibition of gameness. Often, however, at the very time when he was figured as a certain winner he would sulk and allow second and third-rate horses to beat him. "He was a horse with a sure-enough disposition of his own." said an old trainer. "He wasn't exactly what you would call a bad actor at the post, but unless lie took It into his head to get off well he would not start. Many's the time I've seen him tin-canning along two or three lengths behind the field, when suddenly he'd kind of fling up his head and step out with an entirely different kind of gait. It simply amounted to him having made up his mind to get out In front. The jockey really Had little to do with it, for the Major would scoot up to the front and wcld literally seem to climb over the other horses in the race.? Then you'd think he was the fastest and the greatest hlng in the world, and the next time he started you'd back him, only to find that iie wasn't in the humor and was willing No. -164. This new style of fin ish preserves the. beautiful natural red color of ma hogany and brings out the fine grain to best advantage. The dresser shown in cut has the de sirable serpentine front and extra large oval French plate mirrors, with artistically carved stanchions. All drapers fit; abso lutely dustproof. . The workmanship and design could not be better. Size of French plate mirror is 29x35 inches ; top, 22x44 inches.

He surely was a rogue, was the Major, but I see no reason why he shouldn't be a success in the stud." Major Daingerfleld was bred near Lex ington, and was named for Major Fox hall Daingerfleld, who is the manager of James K. Keene's Castelton farm. He was raced as a 2-year-old by Phil J. Dwyer, and was afterward sold to An drew Miller and W. B. Leeds, Mr. Gold blatt bought him at a surprisingly low price and has raced him principally in the West. For the past year or two he seemed to become more cunning than ever and while at times he seemed to have his old speed there was no depend ing on his performance. He sulked more and more, and even grew to dislike run ning in the mud, which used to be "pie" for him. His last race was July 24, at La ton la. when he finished fourth in a five-horse race in which the contestants were only second-raters. MANY XEW YACHTS PLANNED. New York Racing Men Will Prepare for Aquatic Sport. There are various Important plans brewing In the East for yacht racing for next season. Most important was the statement positively made by a man In close touch with racing affairs that Frank M. Smith, owner of the Ef fort, would build a 90-foot schooner. It Is stated that there will be two others built in the class, and that one of these will be for C. Oliver Iselin. It is prob able that later there may be further accessions to the list, for the building fever- is strong among those who fos ter the racing of large yachts. It can also be stated that there Is small probability of the 70-footers Rainbow and Yankee being put into commissio'n. Harry L. Maxwell has de clared that he. will not race again un less there are more than two boats in commission. There is little chance of either "W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., or W. Ross Proctor racing again, and the chances are that Yankee and Rainbow will not leave their berths. It is said that no matter whether they do or not Charley Barr will not again handle a TO-footer. What Barr has in mind is not known, but it is ru mored that he will be at the helm of the Ingomar, and that Commodore Plant will again put his famous schooner in commission. It is also In, tended to make extensive alterations in Elmlna, which will practically make her a new boat, so that with Queen, El mlna, Ingomar and three new 90-foot-ers out the outlook for big schooner racing is exceptionally bright. If Harry Maxwell does not race Yan kee he may be a. competitor in the new 57-foot class. No definite announce ment Is yet made by George M. Pyn chon or Harry F- Lippltt as to the com position of tnelr class, but five names mentioned as possibilities axe E. D. Tuna Mahogany Dresser $30 ' If 7$k .$30 Music Cabinets A new stock of very beautiful Music Cabi nets in golden oak, mahogany, birdseye maple, walnut, etc. All prices, from $8.00 upward. Air-Tight Heaters King, W. Butler Duncan, Jr., Trenor L. Park, Harry L. Maxwell and the Hanan boys. There is small chance of either the Hanan s or Commodore Park going in, but the others are likely possibili ties. There will be too building between 57 and 33 feet, the most important devel opment in these classes being the "transfer of the 40-footer Mira by Charles Lane Poor to John T. Plrie. Mr. Poor took the raceabout Mavis, and will devote himself to racing her if he races.. Mira will be raced by Allan H. and Gordon L. Pirie, sons of the pur chasers of the boat. There is considerable talk of organ izing a class to build 33-footers at the top of the class. With a 86 water-line boat these would afford the most at tractive class possible for a moder ate expense, but It Is hardly likely that the class will be built next year. Next season will mark the passing of the famous New York 30-footers. This year there were 10 left in the class. The most active members of the class were W. Butler Duncan, Jr., George M. Pynchon and Stuyvesant Walnwright. All three have sold their boats, and others are tor sale. The class will doubtless appear, but not as the well-organized, keenly contested racing proposition it has been. W. Butler Duncan, Jr., is mentioned as a probable builder In both 57 and S3-foot classes. G. M. Pynchon has al ready taken up the 57-footer. and Stuy vesant Walnwright is organizing tnn American Yacht Club class that will Include a half-dozen or more keen yachtsmen. Dahinda is sold to W. Emlen Roosevelt, Cara Mia to Mrs. Stone, and Neola II to Royal Dodge. Aged Nimrod Active. Four score years of actiye life have not dampened the sportsman's enthusi asm of "Uncle George" Watson, of Bis marck, N. D., who was recently elected president of the North Dakota Sports man's Association. For the last 25 years Mr. Watson has ranked as one of the most Indefatigable hunters of the state. Previous to that time he chased game, little and big. through Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, his career as a nimrod beginning in the early '50s. He boasts that he is good for many more years of the sport. Belmont Track Is Fast. That the Belmont track is remarkably fast Is again shown by the records broken at the present meeting, as follows: Oc tober 8, 1 5-16 miles, 2:10 S-5, by Ironsides; October 15, 6 furlongs, 1:18 1-5, by Ox ford; October 16, 7 furlongs, 1:22 by Rose ben; on October 17, 6 furlongs, 1:17 1-5, by Voorhees; October 19, 6H furlongs, 1:16 3-5, by Lady Vera. Considering the claim in the East that this year's horses are hardly up to etandaroV the showing becomes the more notable. Probably the sprinting feats may be due to the straighter course. Made Strong Diseased MEN CURED My Fee in Any Ailment IS- $10 DR. TAYLOR, Leading Specialist I do not appeal especially to the man seeking the cheapest cure in asking; such a low fee afe $10 for the cure of any uncomplicated cue of Male Disorders, but I want to reach all men who ofeject to paying the exorbitant fees heretofore charged by specialists.
