SELLWOOD TO BE CONSOLIDATED One Substntion "Will Be Established ' in South Portland, One In the "Nob Hill'; District and One Xear the Union Station. Sellwood postofflce has been ordered consolidated with the Portland office, and that 'district will now have free delivery. Three substations will be established on the west side of the river one near the Union Depot, one in the northwestern jwirt of the city, and one in South Port land. On this subject The Oregonian re ceived the following: telegram last night: Washington. Feb. 5 At the request of Rep resentative Moody, the Postofflce Department will eeMotMfite the postofflce at Sellwood Tith Portland, making the former a substation, provided satisfactory arrangements can be made for free 4eiivery service to that terri tory. The department will also establish three additional substations in connection -vslth the Portland office on July 1, and the Postmaster has been requested to report suitable locations for these agencies. "The matter of giving Sellwood free de livery and of establishing substations on the West Side was taken up about six months ago," said Postmaster Croasman, when shown the foregoing dispatch, "and I am glad to learn that our efforts have borne fruit. There is no reason for the existence of a fourth-class office, such as Sellwood is. within the limits of a first class office. Sellwood will be a full sub station with free delivery. "1 have considered the matter of loca tion for substations on the "West Side, and think one should be established in South Portland: one in the 'Nob Hill' dis trict, a few blocks north and west of Bishop Scott Academy, and one near the Union De,ot. I hope that these will be fuirsubstations, like the one In Alblna, which not only sells stamps. Issues money orders, etc. but handles mall a complete postofflce, where carriers will receive and deliver letters and papers, the same as the main office, hut on a smaller scale. "With the three substations mentioned, residents of the respective districts will receive their mall from half an hour to three hours earlier each day. will neces sarily have a better carrier service, and thousands of people will be saved long walks or rides to the center of town. These substations will not affect adverse ly the service In the center of town. On the contrary, they will tend to improve It." A free delivery special agent from Washington Is expected to arrive here this 'week, and the matter of definite lo cation of substations and other prelimin ary work will he taken up by him. "Blcjcle Accident. A jiiunfman who cave his name as Frank- Smith was severely injured In a bicycle accident last evening on the draw of the ilorrison-street bridge. He was wheeling across the draw rapidly, as the draw was about to close, and one of the gates had been 'shut. At the west end he ran Into a man, knocking him flat. The shock threw him against the Iron gate. He tried to get hold of the upper part of the gate and save himself, but, failing, struck his chin, causing a long and deep gash. The blood flowed copious lv and he went to a near-by drug store to get patched up. The man whom he knocked down was very indignant and arose in great wrath, but when he caw how badly the wheelman was hurt he felt appeased. DEFENDED MRS. NATION. Itev. Ray Palmer Says She Deserves te Be Crowned. Much Interest was manifested in white ribbon circles yesterday in the quarterly meeting of the Multnomah County Wom an's Christian Temperance Union, which was held at the United Presbyterian Church, corner Sixth and Montgomery. The morning 6ervlce opened with Miss F. E Gotshall In the chair. The devotional services were led by Mrs. Julia Casto, who gave eight encouraging signs of victory that had been observed In the beginning of the new century. Reports of the work at Central Union, Sunnyslde, South Port land, University Park and the Lucy Thurman Union were then read, together with the treasurer's report, which was t quite encouraging, and the press report, I made by Mies Lyman. In this connection, j Miss Edna Protzman'e press work re ceived high praise for its accuracy and usefulness In promoting the interests of the W. C. T. U. There was some discus sion of the protection of birds, after which the county president advocated a more faithful observance of red letter days, and other means of strengthening the position of the W. C T. U., and extending its influence against the evils of the day. After the noon hour had been passed in an enjoyable basket lunch, the afternoon session opened with a memorial service for the late Mrs. Narcissa White Kinney, led by Mrs. Driggs. The Institute work was in charge of Mrs. L. F. Additon, who threw Into It her usual hearty enthusiasm and vigor. The symposium on "Total Ab stinence" brought forth many stirring re marks from Mrs. I. H. Amos, Mrs. M. A Stone and others. Rev. Robert McLean said he was not in favor of license of any kind, but believed in putting the liquor traffic on the same plane with rob , bery and burglary. Miss Gotshall made some strong, pithy remarks against the Gottenburg system, concluding with the epigrammatic phrase, "It Is not serving 1 God to Nationalize vice." A discussion of the question, "Is Pro hibition a Farce and a Fraud?" brought out some apt and timely answers; and It I was aeciuea uiau .urs. -nuuiion snouia write out a reply to Rev. Mr. Lord s re cent defence of the Gottenburg system, and send it to the press. Following this came one of the most vigorous and stir ring addresses of the convention. It was made by Rev Ray Palmer, who urged the enforcement of the law, saying that there was a strong tendency in America to Ig nore law, which was so adjustable that there was always a loophole somewhere for the law-breaker. He advocated great er stress laid on this point from the pul pit; and upheld Irs. Nation in her work of confiscation, saying that If ever wom an deserved to be crowned in the here after for her deeds in this world, that woman was Mrs. Nation. "Am I ex treme?" he concluded; "If so, Jesus Christ was extreme when he drove the money changers out of the temple." .Mrs. S. M. Kern then spoke on the sub ject of violations of narcotic laws, and Mrs. M. L. Blackwell brought forward a plan for proportionate giving. Several resolutions were passed approving the at tempt to suppress gambling In Portland, Indorsing the measure now before the State Legislature to restrict the sale of a m m EI rf . . Our First Grand , L 6 m Commences Saturday morning, February' 9th, at 8:00 o'clock, and will con tinue for two weeks. What a pleasurable surprise we have planned for our friends !

A committee was also appointed to investigate the subject of temperance teaching in the public schools. The evening session was enlivened by several enjoyable vocal numbers given by the church choir. The county president. Miss Gotshall, gave a brief talk, followed by an address by Mrs. Additon, which contained many interesting echoes from the National convention, to which she had been a delegate. A reception ensued in her honor, in which Miss Edna Amos and Mrs. McKenzie were invited to assist as delegates to -e international convention recently held in Scotland. PERSONAL MENTION. George B.
