Heavy asbestos board and steel plates form triple walls. This ingenious contri vance prevents the radiation or escape of the heat. The Crescent is Plain Nickel trimmed.

George G. Pondoll of Ihc Pro hibition party will sneak at the Congregational church next Sun day evening at 7:30 upon tho temperance question. Mr. Ten- dell is an eloquent speaker and huntlles lus subject in a thorough manner. Webber's Juvenile Orchestra appeared before a small but most appreciative audience at the skating rink last Friday evening. Ihe entertainment provided was splendid, and the youngsters ac quitted themselves admirably. It is a matter ol regret that more of our people did not turn out to hear them, for they surely missed something that was well worth while. I'. L. Poepping is a guest of his father, Anton Poepping, on South Jersey street. Mr. Poep ping left for the Alberta country, Canada, seven years ago when ho was but eighteen years of mm l 1 m age. lie look .up a homestead ol 100 acres of lino laud when the taking was good, and upon which he has now secured a patent. He has it well stocked and owns considerable farm machinery and implements. Mr. Poepping has demonstrated what a young man with grit, pluck and am bition can do, and while other young men of his ago were loafing around or spending their money as fast as they made it, he struck out for himself and Is now worth thousands of dollars. Too many young men of tho present day spend their time and their talents touoadvantage.aud lator in life become malcontents and curse tho country because thoy have no earthly poMeatsir ns. No Immediate Danger That the Pacific Coast has ample time to prepare for an ul timata influx of European im migrants, is apparent from re ports received irom the urogon State Immigration Commission. This conclusion has boon roached by that odice after making an oxtonsivo investigation in co operation with the Oregon Do- velopmoiit League, ol reported sales of thousands of steamship tickets on the installment plan to prospective immigrants via the Panama Canal is without foundation. Rumors that a great Hood of European immigrants was to pour upon the Pacific Coast as soon as tho Canal was open, has created great anxiety amongst civic organizations. Tho Orogon Stato Immigration Commission felt that if such a throng was actually in prospect, it was in cumbent upon tho Commission to ascertain what provisions could be made for distribution of ar riving aliens away from the con gested centers. So far as a thorough investiga tion could disclose, no steamship company has yet quoted passon ger rates for immigrants via tho canal, and no such tickets are beingsold either for cash or on tho installment plan. Persist anco of the old rumors caused that ollico to make such investi gations and the reports now in hand from tho American Consuls stationed at the important ports of Europe, utterly discredit tho rumors of a direct Pacific Coast immigration. The state of Oregon is es pecially well equipped through its commercial organizations banded together to handle any possible inflow of agricultural immigration. The Altantic Coast states have not and never had such an organization ns exists in this state for the distribution of agriculturists upon tho soils of Oregon. Ultimately positive that the favorable climate and inviting opportuntiiesof the Pacific Coast will attract a large immigration from Europe through tho canal, still the Immigration Commission feels no alarm over any im mediate overwhelming influx r We wish all and Friends Prosperous PENINSULA NATIONAL BANK Oldest Bank on the Peninsula Phtkk Autzkn, Pres.

VAurrs vott runt Ratification Meeting At the ratification park meet ing held in the city hall Monday evening, it was decided to in clude the Stearns-Allen tracts of land in the park budget to be recommended to the city council for purchase. Tho meeting was attended by the largest crowd that has attended any park meet ing previously. Prof. C. H. Boyd was made chairman of tho meeting, and C. R. Russell acted as secretary. It was also decid ed to recommend that tho park proposition be submitted to the people for bond issue on tho unit plan that is, all the tracts must carry or none. This requires a two-thirds vote of the people to carry. Dr. A. W. Vincent op posed the unit plan, as did one or two others, believing that put ting each tract on the ballot separately would be the most democratic plan of voting. Re marks were made by G. L. Per rine, D. C. Lewis, Marion John son, Dr. A. W. Vincent, Chas. Anderson, Carl Majoskc and others. Adding the Stearns-Allen tracts to the budget would require a bond issue of about $40,000, after the prices of some of tho tracts selected have been pared down a little in price, and on which, wo understand, own ers are willing to make some concessions. Tho four tracts recommended are: The Caplos tract at $10,000. tho Cook tract at $0,000. the Catlin tract at $10,500, the Stearns-Allen tracts at $15,000. Rut it is belioved that at least $1500 will bo lopped oil" the total sum by agreement of the owners, and possibly moru. Watch Night Service A watch night service will bo held at the M.
