Fred Fritz, tho progroxsivo proprie tor of Portland's most elegant saloon resort, known its "Fritz's Plitco" and located on thu southeast corner of Sec ond aud llurusido streets, will not bo outdone in anything bo undertakes to do. In tho first placo, it was Mr. Fritz's ambition to conduct tho most ntttnetho resort in tho city for "men on pastimu bent." .This ho easily suc ceeded iu doing, establishing "Fritz's Place" on Second aud Burusido. Oth ers vied with iiim by putting iu sldo attractions. To this Mr. Fritz respond ed by purcbasing ouo of tho finest pipo organs produced aud installing it in his already elegant placo at it cost of $3,000. This wonderful instrument is thu product of M. Wolto &fc'ohno, Frei burg iu Baden. It is a complete or chestra in Itself. It produces music of a classical ordor from every instrument nocosBury iu a full concert band. There is nothing like it ulcswlieru iu tho Northwest. Tho concert entertainment which this grand instrument producos attracts an interested audlouco every evening an audionco composed of somo of tho most critical lovers of inuslo in tho city. Tliis wonderful instrument, in a enso of thn most costly hardwood known, magntflconly carved and polishod, stands iu tho rear of tho main roceptiuu room, near tho stage of Fritz's plaoo. It is tho uutrvol of thoso who soo it and hear it, Largo prices of admission aro charg ed to less wurthy ontortaiumouta than that afforded by this ologaut concert instrument in Fritz's Placo, where tho concert is absolutely freo. Tho Alisky Winter Gltrdou, on tho corner of Third and Morrison, 1ms em ployed colored waiters exclusively, thu forco now numbering nearly a scoro already. Portland, It will bu soon from this and othrA circumstances, is not the worft placo iu tho world for colored tradesmen, artists and ptofet sfon.il men, if tlioy are proficient aud faithful. It is hoped that in this caso Mr. Alisky will find every colorotl em ploye in his elegant placo faithful to duty and equal to every responsibility. In that way every person of whatever color improves his opportunity iu a useful and profitable manner. Maungor Owen, of tho Pacific coiiBt tlopartmout of tho Great Eastern Tea Cump.tny, who, has temporarily aban doned his San Francisco headquarters fur an extended busiuoss visit to Port hind and nthor cities of tho Northwest, is daily greeted by many former asso ciates and business friuuds. Ho will probably prolong his Northwestoru tour until Outobor. Manager Owen represents ono of tho most extensive business houses in tho country, and, beyond comparison, ouo of tho largest tea, coffee aud spico concerns iu America. Tho vast saving tho hundred or nioro houses of this great company insures to purchasers ot its goods, has mado it possible to uulaigo tho busi ness so extraordinarily. Tho ocouomy of 10 cunts a pound on teas, 5 cents it pound on coffees an an equal saving on spicos, all o4 tho first grade, is a great inducement to purchasers; aud tho fuut that thu company has so faith fully kept its' pledges is one of its best rucommuudatious.
