Children Enjoy "Flying." The dry. warm wind of the past few days has been a source of considerable enjoyment to Portland school children. Both bovs and girls like to run against the breeze and imagine they are flying, especially on the Hillsides, where the down grade helps the imagination. Portland Is usually free from wind, and such days are considered a treat. On the higher hills back of town children may be seen by the score after school hours tempting Boreas and gather ing the wild flowers his warm breath has caused to bloom. Little bouquets of dan delions, Johnny-Jump-ups, violets and pan sles now adorn quite a number of family tables, ns a result of the children's trip to the hillsides during the prevalence of the warm, exhilarating north wind. Child Miseino. Fritz Hepfur. an S- year-cld pupil of the Atkinson School, has been missing since Tuesday after noon, much to the anxiety of his mother, Mrs. Lede Letcher, of the Oregon Hotel. She can give no reason for his dlsappear nrcc, as he was not In the habit of run nig off. but she fears the lad may have ucen kidnaped by h:s father, from whom sho was divorced five years ago. Her home Is Quite near the river bank, and the police are of the opinion that the chili wandered to the dock and fell over board. "Fritzy." as his schoolmates call him, wore a brown coat and trousers. white waist and brown cap when he dis appeared. Merely Recommended Medicines. The charge against C. H. Smith, of prnc- tl-lrg medicine- without a license, was dis missed In Justice Kraemer's court yester day. The Justice held that Smith had sold only a patent medicine which ho recom- mended to W. C. Blank for rheumatism, and tlm It was In no aense a diagnosis or prescription. The law. he thought, was meant to preventpersons calling them selves physicians from practicing without a state certificate. In this case, he found that considerable feeling had existed bo- I tween two rival patont medicine agencies. and he thought this was the cause of the prosecution. For Pensions. The Board of United States Examining Surgeons, which meets In the Marqunm. building every Wednes day morrlr.g passes on the cases of quito a number of applicants.

In speaking of the new auxiliary association formed by the relatives nnd friends of Camp Gilbert, Spanish and Filipino War "Veterans, It was said to be the first of the kind in Portland. The members of !.c old Company H Auxiliary take exception to the statement, and assert that they were the first auxiliary to a Veterans' Camp. The Company H Auxiliary did not disband after the company was mustered out, it ss said, but simply waited, and when the camp was formed that took the name of "H," the Company Auxiliary reorgan ized and became Auxllary to Camo H. This would place them first In the auxll ary field several weeks, which honor the members claim now. In the Camp H Auxiliary, only mothers, sisters or wires of members of Camp H can join, but they propose to continue In every way possible the very helpful work carried on while the boys were absent In the Islands, of courso, now aiaptea to the conditions of a vet eran's life. Razing Shade Trees. Shade trees in many places about the city are being sub jected to a severe pruning, especially where they are large enough to reach the electric wires, and In many places they are being cut down. While shade trees, when not too large, are ornamental and pleasant about residence property, where they become large they are pretty much a nuisance, shutting off the view, prevent ing circulation of air, and keeping out the sunshine, of which, as a general thing, there Is none too much In this section. In the fall they are a decided nuisance, littering the streets and sidewalks. For these reasons, many shade trees are be ing cut down, and people who have once got rid cf them do not desire to have thtm replrced The worse pests of all are the poplars, which aend their roots down Into the sewers and drains and abroad Into gardens and lawns, exhaust ing the fertility of them and overshadow ing and starving all other vegetation.

The Chamber of Commerce has received letters from Oregon's Senators and Rep resentatives regarding matters of legisla tion to which their attention has recently been directed. Senator McBride and Rep resentative Moody wrote that they would confer with their colleagues with a view to having one of their number represent the state at the Pure Food Congress, soon to be held at Washington. Senator McBride said that as the pressure of of ficial work is very heavy, he doubted whether any member of the delegation could attend the congress. In reference to the bljls for the Improve ment of the consular service and making an appropriation for the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, Senator Simon wrote: "I need not say that I shall cheer fully do anything I can to Increase the trade of the United States, and any bill that will better our consular service will receive my hearty support." As to these same measures. Senator Mc Bride wrote: "As a member of the Sen ate committee on commerce, I have al ready voted in favor of Sonator Galllnger's bill for the appointment of a commission to report upon commercial and Industrial conditions In China and Japan, and I shall, as a member of the same committee, support Senator Penrose's bill In aid of the Philadelphia Museum, which, in my opinion. Is a most Important work for the industrial and commercial Interests of the country-" Representative Moody wrote that ha will give earnest consideration to the bills for the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, remodeling the consular service and pro viding for a commission to Investigate and report upon. Industrial conditions in China and Japan. Another letter from Senator McBride follows: "I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 3. addressed to the Senators and Representatives in Con gress from Oregon, and inclosing also a letter addressed to the President of the. United States, urging that the President shall hereafter. In the appointment of all International commissions, committees and boards, particularly those connected with commerce and trade, consider seriously tho appointment of some representative Pacific Coast buslnoss man to a place on each of such commissions, committees or boards. "I cordially concur In the views ex pressed In your letter, believing that the rapidly Increasing commerce of the Pacific Ocean demands that Pacific Coast states shall have fair representation In all Inter national commissions appointed to con sider our commercial and industrial rela tions, and I shall heartily co-operate with my colleagues In the Oregon delegation In presenting these views for the consid eration of the President. "The appointment of Professor Bernard Moses, of California, as a member of the Philippine Commission was a recognition of the right of the Pacific Coast to rep resentation in tho establishment of gov ernment In those Islands, In whose pro gress and development the Pacific Coast states have so direct and important an In terest. The President has also recently appointed Hon. H. B. Miller, an able bus lnoss man of Oregon, as United States Consul at Chungking, China, where he will doubtless have opportunity to pro mote our commercial Interests. I trust we shall henceforth be enabled to obtain due recognition for the Pacific Coast In all matters affecting our Interests." A regular monthly meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce was to have been held at 3:30 yesterday afternoon fo tho purpose of changing the by-faws regarding the committee on grain standards, making provisions for holding quarterly, instead of monthly, meetings of members and fixing the number that shall constitute a quorum at members' meetings. The meet ing had to be abandoned because of the lack of a quorum. A number of members came In after the meeting adjourned, and If those on hand had waited a few mo ments longer, a quorum would probably have been had. This Is the first time in many months that a Chamber of Com merce meeting has failed for want of a quorum. The business scheduled for yes terday will go over until next month. W. C. T. U. AT SUNNYSIDE State President Mrs. Hnrford Ad dressed the Meeting-. The regular meeting of the Sunnyslde W. C. T. U., held at the quarters of the Union, on East Thirty-fourth and Bel mont streets, yesterday afternoon, was made of more than usual Interest by the presence of the state president, Mrs. Helen Harford, who addressed the gathering. Mrs. Ambler, president of the Union, turned the meeting over to Mrs. Harford, who opened it with devotional exercises, and then gave an Interesting address on different phases of the W. .C. T. U. work. She emphasized the advantage of begin ning vith the children and Instructing them in the effects of alcohol on the system, stating that they should be rooted and grounded in the principles of total abstinence. In speaking of the great na tional reform meetings, Mrs. Harford said that the states participating must have 500 new memhers. The reform meetings are very Interesting and helpful, said the speaker, and she expressed the hope that Oregon Unions would make such a show ing that they can take part In the next meeting. Mrs. Harford commented on the widespread Influence of the . C. T. u., and remarked that a large measure of this Influence Is due to the favors that had been received from the press of the country- Her address was well received. Mrs. Harford gave an instructive lecture at the Sunnyslde Methodist Church last night, which was interspersed with fine musical selections. She will lecture this evening at the United Presbyterian Church, East Side. Wasco street and Grand avenue, and Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the First United Evangelical Church. East Tenth and Sherman streets. The subject of this lecture is: "The Out look for the Temperance Reform."

Last night saw the largest crowd yet at the Jewish Fair, in Hlbernla Hall. A new feature was added In the shape of a country sideshow, which was ridiculously comical. The typical German band, under the direction of Sousa, with their fake in struments, afforded "sweet" music for that part of the hall, while on the inside, sp'rlted personal talks were given by Gen erals Cronje and Buller, and Presidents Kruger and Agulnaldo. A pleasant feature of the fair has been the pretty flower girls, Mrs. M. Marcowltz, and Misses Loat Sendus, Anna Friedman and Belle Joseph, promenading through the building with many-hued blossoms in their arms. The man who escaped their eaglo eye for 10 cents could consider him self lucky. The wheel of fortune also proved attractive, and many people left this booth richer than they came. Last evening was the last night of the fair proper, and tonight the great success will close with a grand masquerade ball. e Portland's Lending MuMc Store. Knabe. Hardman, Fischer.
