President Beckwlth In his annual ad arena said: "It will be of Interest to you gentlemen to know that during the year Just closed the cash receipts snd disbursements of the club were rja.77i.41 and that of the building $60,427.75. a grand total of tU- tia l. "January 1. 1310. the club's Indebted ness was flS.tMO. of which SIS, 000 has been pal-t. leaving J000 still due. which will doubtless be takrn up In the next four "nontris. providing the dues are not re-&u-ed. "White on this subject It is desired t touch upon the matter of dues. There Is not a dub of any Importance on the I"ac!r!e Coast with dues less than to per month and many charge even more. Con sidering the cost of maintenance, the lrtcrree of wag's and the Increased cost of all articles and supplies neces sary for the upbuilding and maintaining cf a first-rinse club. It u absolutely nec essary to provide a greater revenue than former dues. 1U.S0 a month, would pro duce. The board of governors are unan imous In Indorsing the amendment that (he dues remain $1 per month, at least until a reasonable surplus has been accu mulated, thus enabling the club to be In position to meet any crisis, financial or otherwise. Matters of grave momsnt are liable to arise which might reduce the club's membership the failure to Veep the rooms and offices la the build ing rented and many others that would affect the Income. With a reasonable surplus the club would be In a position to purchase building bonds, sometimes offered at a bargain, that they would otherwise have to reject. "During the year 1310 the restaurant erred i'-'i banquets and private dinners, X3 platea The cold lunches were JT.U1: hot lunches, 47.073; a la carte l'incaea, 35.K19; breakfasts and regular llnners. JT.i3: a total of 1X7.561 meals. Of ' this were lunches, an average of kot SCO a cay. oo a basis of six days a vek Thl brings uy the question where are the other IZU members secur ing their lunches and why are we serv ing but IS per cent of our members? This Is because we have not sufficient room an any department. Room I Insufficient. The dining-room at 1I:0 P. U. Is Crowded. The same thing can be said of this room and with : pool and bil liard tables we have Just about half enough. We know to a certain sr that av greater number of our members would come to the Club, but It Is Im possible to be served la a reasonable time, owing to the crowded condition of the dining-room and particularly the kitchen, which la Just about large aouga to serve 150 people. Therefore Use securing of. or rather building of another club building Is a matter for aerlooe consideration. The present quarters cannot be enlarged. A new building la a necessity. "During the past year a new bakery was Installed In the basement and all of the bread, pastry of all kinds. In cluding cake. Ice cream, etc. Is made therein, and la an addition which we believe is appreciated by every member. "The upkeep of the current year is rxotng to be rather heavy In order to maintain a first-class, up-to-date club. A new Ice plant at a cost of about JW) Is aa absolute necessity. Addi tional silverware, linen, furniture, etc. and la all probability a new carpet for the parlor will be needed, as the pres ent one. you will note. Is beginning to show considerable wear. This In Itself will probably be a matter of $1000 or more. "A few words In regard to the pub licity department, with which most of the members are familiar. For the benefit of the new members It Is not out of place again to call attention to the fact that this department is kept tip by voluntary contributions, not one cent being contributed by the club ils:C ether than the office room fur- nil had on the sixth floor. ' -Mindful of ths language la praise of 1 ls deDsrtmeat. by former presidents. I see wonder what words ths would J have framed to adequately express their ? appreciation of the present manage- , meat. No greater compliment can be paid this management than to say that It has gone ahead with leaps and bounds which only the highest stand ard of efficiency would produce. The results of their tireless campaign 1 known not only In Portland. Or, ana the paclfto Coast, but has commanded the highest respect throughout the United States, and we bespeak the heartiest support of the dtlxens of Portland, particularly the members of the club." Only One Amendment Loses. When the time came for the considera tion of the dosen proposed amendments. It waa evident that the members' opin ions differed, but when the speeches were made all carried except that per taining to the non-payment of duea by all serving as president of the club. The principal fight was on the amend ment fixing the dues permanently at $49 a year. The present duea are $48 a year, or M a month, and exist only by resolu tion. It aa proposed to make tne dues Sua. the extra SI to go to employes of the club as a Christina present, and to fix the dues aa a part of the constitu tion A motion was made to make the monthly dues S2.60 aa they were two jears ago. Those favoring the reduc tion argued that there were many who did not attend regularly and were mem bers through patriotic motives, while others thought they could 111 afford the dues charged. Edjrar B. Piper spoke In favor of the amendment on behalf of the board of governors, saying it was evident that no plan had been suggested by which the club could raise sufficient funds to avert a deficit, should the duea be flxed at $2.50. He bad given the financial condition of the club considerable study, and believed there was abso lutely no other means of maintaining the upkeep of the club along Its present i .i i n.. rt arnr.fiv and accommo dation than by the payment of the proper amount or uues. e w ,. j - mnmh would Droduce suffi cient money to carry the club through the year and leave a small surplus, but only a small one Boise Pleads for Funds. W. L. Boise declared that If the members emected to malntnln the club along Its present progressive lines a uphold Its credit ana nnenciau sibltlty. It would havs to give its board r ravtraori sufficient funds. The vote showed the members largely In favor of the proposed increase. The amend ment waa ordered written In the con stitution. Debate followed over the question of admitting "Army and Navy officers of any nation actively engaged In service without membership fees or dues. Colonel James Jackson advocated the adoption of the amendment. He point ed out that the Army officers at Van couver Barracks were compelled to change quarters every two years, and that to cav club dues ana meuiorni fees would be exacting too great a drain upon their Incomes. Others spoke along the same lines and the amend ment waa carried without a dissenting voice. other amendment adopted inciunea.

Jon. 3.-Spe- riaiWPlMjnv rmm twn. nffienrs of the 1 State Training School., shortly . before 1 noon today. Mildred Hanning, a pretty U-year-old paroled orphan girl, sought safety In the editorial office of the Cen . tra.Ua Daily Chronicle. In her flight through the main street her distracted i and haunted appearance attracted wide attention, and several attorneys and . prominent men rushed after her to the office. Girl Feared Beating. The Reform School la under fire of in vestigation and It waa thought that some of the Information came from Mis- Han- nlng. Fearing a fearful beating for the I pubUclty. the girl was almost prostrated ! with dread as she rushed behind the chair of one of the editors, imploring I protection. In breathlessly telling the j staff of her plight, the girl dropped to her kneee in an abandon of supplication and presented a pitiable spectacle. A few momenta later, the officers, a man and a woman, entered, wanting to take the girl back. Messages were ex changed between the editor and various state officials. The girl stated mat sne would rather die than ever go Inside the walls of the Institution again. The offi cers left without her.

Have you seen the magnificent array of Pianola Pianos In the large west show window of Eilers Music House? Have you noted the reduced prices at which these instruments are now being offered? We decided some time ago to discon tinue selling the Pianola Piano. During the past two years several other makes of player pianos were .gradually developed, which embodied some very important and much-needed improvements. Naturally Eilers JJusio House decided upon the representation of the Improved article. Sine that time a number of our dealers throughout the West, upon seeing these latest im proved player pianos. Immediately ar ranged for the agency. Finding that these dealers did not have sufficient show room to display many different makes at one time, wo agreed to take off their hands what ever Pianola Pianos they carried. The same situation prevailed at some of our own smaller stores. Thus we were compelled to have these Pianola Pianos shipped to Port land. Most of them are the very lat est design, absolutely new Instruments. There are aiso some mat imvw uwcn used a shorter or longer period of time, these latter having been taken In part payment for new Improved Decker and Lester and our own, the Eilers De Luxe Plaver Pianos, as well as for the higher-priced styles of the new Auto piano.
