Cities Statistics Showing That Cities of Lurpcr Population Have Lest Area Than Portland. The fact that a meeting has been called for tonight to discuss the propriety of enlarging the city's boundaries so as to take Into the corporate limits a number of suburbs, has drawn forth a statement from A. Li. Mills, chairman of the Char ter Commission, a statement in -which he strongly opposes any such enlargement or extension. Mr. Mills said yesterday: 5 1 have been looking into the census fctnistlcs for 1900, and am surprised to It am what a great area Portland already c.vtrs in comparison to larger cities in the United States. To enlarge further the boundaries of the city would, in my judgment, be an error. Already our jrreit area makes the cost of maintenance of the city government great in propor tion: more streets, more lights, more po licemen and more firemen are required the moment you enlarge. The fact that an increased area means Increased ex pense only needs to be called attention to in order to be recognized as a fact." The statistics of arei and population to -which Mr. Mills calls attention are as follows: Popu- Area, City lation. acres.

APPLES NOW COME HIGH. But in Pioneer Days They Sold for fl a Box, or $1 Each Several persons who chanced to meet jitar the corner of Front and Alder streets a day or two ago were complaining of the high price of apples. They thought $1 a box enough for good apples. They com plained that most of the best apples were bhipped away, and only "seconds" were to be found in most stores. It was said that it was impossible to get a box of .good apples for less than $1 25. W. K. Smith, whose office was close "by, hearing the growling, remarked that apples are much cheaper here than they used to be. This was promptly disputed, and it was asserted that a few years ago the choicest apples fecould be bought for from 50 cents to 75 cets per box. One man said that 20 years ago he bad known fanners to sell the whole product of their orchards for 12& cents per box, on the trees, of course. Mr. Smith said that anight be true, but more than 20 years ago he had paid HQ per box for apples to Oregon. He had even known a man to pay $5 for an apple. No one offered to dispute the statement, but all were anxious to know when apples sold at such a price. Mr. Smith said he was in busi ness in Salem in 1S54-5, and that during that time he bought apples from Mr. Har vey, a pioneer farmer of Polk County, and paid him $16 a bushel for them. There were not many bushels, and they were, as he believes, the first apples raised in Ore gon to be sold In quantities as large as a bushel. He sold many apples singly during these years for ?1 each, and sold one for $5. It was a "Gloria Mundi," and was the larg est apple he has ever seen. He forgets the exact weight, but thinks it weighed about 2y, pounds, and It was bought by B. M. Durell, a "capitalist and a "splendid fellow," to be sent to the Smithsonian Institution. TWO ACTIVE OLD-TIMERS. Captain Joseph Kellogg; Challenges W. K. Smith to Feats of Agility. The unsually warm weather of the past few weeks has been considered unseason able and unhealthy by some of the old residents, and they have been anxious for the xains to begin. The heat seems, however, to have rejuvenated some among the very oldest citizens sort of warmed the cockles of their hearts, sent the blood racing through their "veins with renewed vigor, a,nd made them feel as If they were as young and spry as they used to be. For Instance, Captain Joseph Kellogg, who will be 90 years old next June, while strolling around the wharves and look ing at the steamboats a few days ago, ran across W. K. Smith, who is only 76, and challenged him to run a foot race. It may have been only a bluff, but Mr. Smith did not care to call him on it. He remarked that he was beginning to feel slightly patriarchal, and thought foot racing would be undignified for patriarchs. Captain Kellogg said he could jump up and crack his heels together twice before alighting, and wanted Mr. Smith to try that. The latter did not try it, but said be could place his hands on the side walk, flop over backward, and alight on his feet. A bystander, who had listened to the "old boys" with amazement, expressed doubts as to either of them being able to accomplish this feat, and asked Mr. Smith's son, who was standing near, If his father could really turn such a "flip flap." He said he had no reason to doubt it," as he had seen him do it 30 years ago. Captain Kellogg preferred to race, but was ready for anything, and, though he had never been a "flipflapper," was willing to follow Mr. Smith's lead. So Mr. Smith squared himself around and was going to do the "flipflap" right then and there on a cement sidewalk. The crowd dis suaded both the "old boys" from trying It, assuring them that old bones were easily broken, and that if they should make a slip they would undoubtedly be "'all broke up." Should they meet again where there Is a nice grass plat to exercise on, a lively contest for supremacy In agility may be expected. Reception to Rev. "W. O. Forbes. A reception will be given Rev. W.

These "Will Be Erected Near the Southern Pacific Track and. O. R, & X. Spur. The prospects are that next year half a dozen big buildings will be erected on the Southern Pacific Bailway and the O. R. & N. spur between Union avenue and East Water street. Studebaker Bros, will put up a four-story structure on East Second between East Morrison and Belmont streets, shortly. The buildings now standing on 'this ground will be re moved. It is understood that work will be started In a short time. The Deering Plow Company, which recently purchased a 100x200-foot lot on East Taylor, between the Southern Pacific and the O. B. & N. spur, will build in the Spring. This com pany Is one of the largest in the United States, and will erect a building commen surate with their needs. Another com pany, representing a"1 wire nail factory, has made an examination of this district for a location for a building, through R. I S. Liongley, the manager, and he has ex pressed himself favorable to the place. It Is also well known that several other concerns have been looking for locations between Union avenue and the river. There has been some hesitation about building in this district on account of the small water main extending through it, and the consequent inadequate fire pro tection, but the determination of the water committee to lay a 14-lnch main along East First street, the heart of the dis trict, will do much to encourage the erec tion of buildings by those who own sites and by others who contemplate securing sites. Band of Mercy Resumes Meetings. The Band of Mercy, organized by Miss Eugenia Kern, a teacher of the Stephens ' school, over a year ago among the pupils of that school, has resumed meetings in Gruner's Hall. Edwin Haslam. had been elected president and Julia Blair secre tary, at the meeting held October 9th. The next meeting will be held In Gruner's Hall, November 6th. The membership is about 200, and each one has a badge. A pledge is taken by every one becoming a member, as follows: "I promise to be kind to all living crea tures and to protect them from cruel usage." The exercises at meetings are fa in culcate the teachings set forth in this pledge, and the members areitaklng great interest in the organization. Jt is the only Band of Mercy in the city. While in San Francisco, Miss Kern investigated the workings of the Band of Mercy in that city and ascertained that it is accom plishing much good. The members, wear ing badges of the organization, are on the watch for all cases of cruelty and report them to the "humane officers. At first the children's efforts were regarded as of fensive and impertinent, but Miss Kern eays that now they are encouraged in their work, and contractors who had been inclined to abuse their horses have come to have a wholesome regard for the youngsters wearing badges of the Band of Mercy. Miss Kern gathered a great many ideas as to the working of the Bands of Mercy at San Francisco. With her it is a work of love. She will be glad to have friends of the humane work attend the meetings. Ballasting: Tracks. The Portland City & Oregon Railway Company is rapidly ballasting the double tracks on Hawthorne avenue east from East Third street. A considerable por tinn nf thp work has been finished as far xout as East Twenty-third street. The ma terial used is screenea gravei irom uie company's pit on the Mount Scott branch. The double tracks occupy half the street. It would cost very little more to have the remainder regraveled and made a new Improvement. Repairing Sideivallcs. , The City Engineer has had two crews out the past week, rebuilding sidewalks in Alblna and Sellwood for property-owners who have neglected to comply with no tices to make repairs. Where the city makes the repairs a penalty Is added above the cost and there Is a Hen against the property. The work will be continued until all disrupted walks have been re paired. Will Donate Land for Boulevard. A. J. Strowbridge, who owns a consid erable tract of land fronting on the river .n Brooklyn, offers to donate a strip 0 feet wide for the proposed boulevard to Sellwood, following the windings of the river. This is regarded as a good starter. If the owners of the remaining property, through which the boulevard would pass, will do as much as Mr. Strowbridge its success will be insured. East Side Xotes. The petition for the improvement of East Burnside street, between East Eighth and East Twenty-eighth, will go to the City Council at Its next meeting. The Rev. A. G.

SUMMERED AT PORT CLARENCE F. O. Walpole, of Agricultural De partment, Stndied Alaska Flora. The Summer at Port Clarence, Alaska, near the entrance to Behring Straits, was shorter than usual this year. "Vegetation did not begin to appear till the middle of July, and things were obliged to stop growing about the middle of September, so that few of the plants which form the flora of that section perfected seeds. On that account, F. A. Walpole, of the Ag ricultural Department, who spent the Summer at Port Clarence and the country adjoining, collecting specimens of plants and making drawings of the flora gener ally, did not find circumstances so favor able for his work as had been hoped for. He noted some 250 species of plants and shrubs In all, there being no trees, ex cept shrubby willows, which, however, 60 miles Inland, attained a heigth of about 20 feet. In the vicinity of the coast they were only four to five feet in height. The short season was not favorable for the full development of the mosquito crop, as in some places the snow did not disappear- from the tundra, but there were enough to make life Interesting for him. Just how mosquitoes manage to exist and to be so numerous, when there are only two months out of the 12 in which they live and move is a conundrum that only they have solved. Mr. Walpole did not suffer from the heat during the Sum mer, but when he ventured Into the in terior where the mosquitoes most do congregate, they vied with each other in seeing which could do the most to him, and kept him from being' lonesome. Mr. Walpole says the Introduction of reindeer from Siberia 'into Alaska has been a much greater success than most people have been led to believe. At Tel lar reindeer station, where he spent con siderable of his Summer, there are 'about 750 reindeer and they are doing well. The number at the different stations Is about 4000, which Is four times as many as were brought into the co ntry. Taking everything into consideration, this is a very satisfactory increase. Mr. Walpole, who arrived here a short time ago, Is visiting with his parents, and has not decided when he will leave for Washing ton. FREIGHT TARIFF CONTESTS A Number of Hearings Arrnngred by Interstate Commerce Commission. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. A number of hearings on Important freight tariff con tests have been arranged by the Inter state Commerce Commission. Two will be held in Chicago early next month.

The commission, November 11, will meet in Denver and Investigate cases against a number of roads involving the relative rates applicable to Denver and Pacific Coast points. George J. Kindel and the Denver Chamber of Commerce are the complainants in these cases. Several important cases are scheduled for hearing in this city.

HAS BUILT UP INDUSTRIES WORK OP THE MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION REVIEWED. Secretary C. H. Mclsnae Submits His Annual Report, Suovring Activity in Many Fields. Secretary C. H. Mclsaac has submitted his annual report to the directors and members of the Manufacturers' Associa tion of the Northwest. This shows the great mount of work that the association has done in the way of building up in dustries, encouraging the inflow of capi tal into Portland and the Northwest, and stimulating the manufacture of home products and the patronage of home in-" dustries. That the Manufacturers' As sociation has been active in every field of endeavor tending to the up-bulldlng of the city, is shown by the report, which follows: Poitland, Oct. 20. To the directors and mem bers Manufacturers' Association of the North west Gentlemen: I bes leave to submit the following brief review of the work of this asso ciation for the past year. The annual meting was held on October SO last, and on November 13 following the direc tors held their first meeting and elected the following officers to serve for one year, viz.: E. H. Kllham, president; "W. H. Morrow, vice president; R. J. Holmes, treasurer: C. H. Mc lsaac, secretary, and as executive committee the following were elected: Messrs. A. H. De vers, chairman; Charles Hegele, W. B. Struble, O. E. Helntz and D. L. Povey. In December a committee of five was appoint ed to confer and co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade for the pur pose of commemorating In fitting manner the Lewis and Clark expedition by holding an American and Pacific Exposition In 1005 in Portland. What Has Been Accomplished. Boat oar factory The association was instru mental in bringing from Arkansas three expe rienced boat oar manufacturers,, and through its efforts the necessary capital was arranged, and the factory was started. Boot and shoe factory The association was also Instrumental in securing 'the necessary capital to start a boot and shoe factory here. Home manufacture legislation The associa tion secured the passage of a bill in the State Legislature comielllns all state, county, city and town Institutions to give the preference to Oregon-manufactured goods, price and quality being equal. Parcels po3t bill A resolution was passed asking our delegates In Congress to defeat the passage of the bill known as the parcels post bill, the objects of which were considered detri mental to Pacific Coast interests, more partic ularly to manufacturers on the Coast. Flax fiber Industry By resolution the asso ciation Indorsed a bill before the State Legis lature, providing for the purchase by the state of the plant of the Women's Flax Fiber Asso ciation, and the manufacture of grain sacks and other coarse materials from tlax fiber in the state penitentiary. Pan-American Exposition Oregon's represen tation at the Pan-American Exposition was heartily indorsed by the association, and a committee appointed to visit Salem during the session of the Legislature, to assist In con vincing the ways and means committee of the necessity of Oregon being well represented at Buffalo, If at all. . Irrigation and hydrographlc work Through our delegates In Congress, the association lent its assistance toward the passage of a bill ap propriating $100,000 for the reclamation of arid lands; and also called the attention of the director of the United States Geological Survey to the necessity of making Investigations and surveys of streams in Oregon, with a view to irrigation, which has Ijcen done. Pure food law Action was taken In the In terest of pure food, the intention being to pro tect goods made In Oregon and shut out the impure goods from tho East, which contain saccharine, the use of which Is prohibited un der the present law.

It is not possible. In this necessarily brief report, to record the complete work of the association, but it is sufficient to say that much has been accomplished along the lines of en- deavor for which the Manufacturers' Associa tion stands. Old Lines of Industry. Old lines which have forged well to tho front and are stronger than ever are lumbering, fur niture, flour, slaughtering and meat packing, saddlery, fruit packing, cordage, marine and logging machinery, bar Iron, Unseed oil, tanning hides, cigars, boat-bul!dlng, potteries, metals. upholstered furniture, coffees, srlce and baking Tinn'rlpr nnn Hftwq triinlrR Mntnlnir. uniforms powder, soap, gloves, trunks, clothln "" and overalls, stoves, bags and bagging, art glass, crackers, wood and paper boxes, matches and brooms and many others. Xew Industries. Notable among our new manufacturing estab lishments this year are the Western Boat Oar Company, C. J. HIbbard Boot & Shoe Com pany, Robertson-Manning Company, Wagon Stock, Willamette Ax Handle Company, West ern Suspender Company, The Adamant Com pany, Anchor Iron Fence Company, Albers & Schnolder Company, hay pressing; Cone Bros., sawmill, veneer factory; Portland Lumber Manufacturing Company, chrome leather tan nery, woolen mill, flouring mill, boiler shops, creameries, Ice machinery shop, soap factory and many others. Opcnins for Xetv Industries. New Industries that could bo established that would work Into manufactured products the raw materials that are not now, but that could j Orecon. Then, In a very short time, manu be profitably worked here, are a glass bottle j factures would flourish, and not only this city, factory, wagon factory and chair factory. j but all the towns of the state would thrill and Pntronize Hume Industry. The members of this association and all man ufacturing, mechanical and producing Indus tries are large employers of both skilled and unskilled labor, and the laboring man is begin ning to realize that when he purchases goods made at home he increases the demand for labor, and makes it easier to find profitable employment for himself. The labor unions of this city have taken up the watchword, "Pa tronize Home Industry," and are using every Intelligent effort to induce their members to buy goods made here. The motto, "Patronize Home Industry," looks nicely, reads very well and sounds bravely, but it is the deed that Is wanted. As . a matter of fact, they don't patronize home industry one-half as much as they should, or as they might with positive benefit to themselves. In short, the advantages of patronizing home Indu&try aro so numer ous and self-evident that It seems Idle to waste words In their exploitation. While the association never overlooks an opportunity to get a new industry established here, It Is all the time carrying on a campaign of education. In this work the various trades unions are, perhaps, our strongest allies. Portland is try ing to build up a manufactures center, but there Is a deficiency In tho support given by merchants to the home manufacturers of arti cles In which the former deal.

Suppose, for Instance, that tomorrow J toward new manufacturing enterprises, added to an Intelligent popular support, will unfail ingly build up our city. A contrary policy will just as unfailingly depress lt3 prospects. Let the merchant cultivate the purchasing power of the multitude. Merchants should take tho lead In every movement to Increase that power I by the enlargement oC the manuracturtng pop- I ulatlon. and keeping up the scale of wages. A , well-paid crowd is aways a buying crowd. Let t the manufacturer have the hearty support of the storekeeper, and he will not only push the factory to large dimension"?, witn more lami lles drawing their maintenance therefrom, but he will pay his men better wages.

Indeed, can and should do a great deal, but 1 the work largely rests with the great body oC common consumers, lnese, as a ruie, are too careless and forgetful. They do not sufficient ly support the manufactories already estab lished and struggling for success. They do not help out Oregon by buying only Oregon-made products, as they should whenever they can do so without material disadvantages. In fact. a great many people prefer an. Inferior Import ed article at the same or a higher price. Thus thousands of consumers, most of them thought lessly, or with, mistaken prejudices against home-made goods, are retardfng Oregon's devel opment and nullifying the efforts of public spirited men to make Oregon a great state and Portland a great city. Every man and woman, every household, every corporation, every so ciety, ought to consider It a pleasurable duty j to buy, as far as possible, only goods made la ' swell with rapid growth and healthy, splendid development.
