MEMBERS ROLL IN
Chamber of Commerce Ap
proaches 300 Mark.
CANVASS HAS GOOD RESULTS
Prospects Are That COO Will Be
Reached Plans Are Considered to
Keep Trustees in Touch. "With
the General Body.
The Chamber of Commerce Is- meeting
with fine encouragement In Its campaign
for new members and the Indications are
that it will have 300 on Its rolls by Janu
ary 1, 1902, as against 339 on October 1.
Plans for increasing the membership have
been under consideration since October 1.
They took shape last month in the is
suance of a booklet telling of the past
work of the association and outlining its
future policies, principal of which are a.
40-foot channel at the mouth of the Co
lumbia and open rivers to the Inland Em
pire. A copy of this "was sent to every
member of every firm belonging to the
chamber. In addition COO copies, ac
companied by a letter declaring for 300,
the board of trustees trust that the Cham,
ber will soon have BOO members on its
rolls. With 300 members the chamber can
do much good, but with D00 it can do
better. With the membership at BOO tho
association will have at Its disposal ?10,
000 annually, every cent of which will bo
needed in promoting Portland commercial
interests and tho general welfare of tho
state and in advertising the state's re
sources. The work of the association In.
the past has been hampered for want of
funds.
A number of plans are being considered
to bring the governing board of the as
sociation into closer touch with tho mem
bers and -vice versa. It 1b difficult to get
members of a commercial association to
attend meetings of the general body. The
case is the same all over the Pacific Coast,
and it is Just as hard to get quorums at
San Francisco and Seattle as at Portland.
Merchants are too busy to attend meeN
ings, but they like to be kept informed
of what Is being done. To accommodate
them Trustee S. M. Mears has suggested
that the Chamber of Commerce Issue a
monthly bulletin to members, summariz
ing the past month's work, and Inclos
ing a suggestion blank to be filled and re
turned to the trustees. In this way, Mr.
Mears thinks, every member would take a
personal Interest in what"was being done
and would even suggest lines of action
that would be profitable to tho city.

friends," said one roomer, who had slept
through all the noise.
Now that the Lewis and Clark Fair In
1905 has become an assured fact, a great
many people have opinions to express in
regard to the most suitable location for it.
There is plenty of time to decide the
question of a site, which may safely be
left to those who will be entrusted with
the selection, but there are many things
connected with the fair which should re
ceive -Dromnt and continuous attention.
For instance. It Is the general opinion
that there should be a magnificent display
of roses on the fair grounds, embracing
all the best varieties, from those which
bloom earliest to those which keep bloom
ing till the snow files and after. There Is
no Question about the roses of Oregon be
ing the finest on the land, and nothing
attracts more admiration from visitors to I
this state than the profusion and wonder-
ful beauty of. the roses seen on every
hand. They are found around the cot
tages of the poor as well as the palatial
homes of the wealthy; and all that Is
required to prcduce, them ln perfection Is
a little care and knowledge of the first
principles of gardening. It will be neces
sary to begin propagating rose bushes in
large numbers at once in order to have a
sufficient supply of well-grown plants for
the dirplay which should be made on ihe
fair grounds. It is not too late to propar
gate fiom slips this Fall, and every rose
fancier should take this matter ln hand.
Several ways of securing the dlsplay
have been suggested. One is to offer
prizes to both amateur and professional
rosegrcwers for the largest and best dis
plays of roses. Another Is for the fair
commissioners to employ a skilled rose
grower to take the matter ln hand, lay
out plats, and plant the rose bushes so as
to produce the best possible effect. Just
which scheme would be the best will be
for those ln charge of the fair to decide.
But the public will take a deep interest in
the display ln any event.
Doubtless many amateurs especially will
assist in furnishing the plants, as they
will all desire to see an exhibit of roses
made whicii will give visitors a correct
Idea of what can be done in the way of
rose culture in Oregon. It may safely be
said that neither the Garden of Eden nor
the gardens of "Kew In their bloom," nor
tho gardens of California, nor any other
place ever has or ever can produce such
magnificent ro3es in such profusion as the
fertile soil and genial climate of Western
Oregon produce.
Aquarium for Xative Fishes.
Another thing in which it is suggested
that Oregon can beat the world is ln an
exhibit of native fishes. For this an
aquarium on a scale heretofore unknown
should be provided. The cost would not
be excessive, and the affair might be made
a permanent one. Nothing attracts more
attention than an aquarium, well stocked,
as the sight of fish disporting ln their
native element is a rare one to most peo
ple, and a beautiful spectacle to all.
The great Columma Kiver ana its trmu
taries can produce more and better and
handsomer varieties of fish than any, or,
for that matter, all of the other rivers in
the country, or In any country. At the
head of the list, of course, stands the
Royal chlnook salmon, the king of fishes,
and following come the steelhead, silver
sides, blueback and several other species
of salmon. Trout of a size and beauty
unapproachable ln any other region Dolly
"Varden, rainbow, cut-throat, mountain
trout, salmon trout, and even the beautiful
speckled trout of the East, can be ob
tained to stock as many tanks as desired.
The huge sturgeon of the Columbia was
nearly exterminated a few years ago
through the greed of outsiders, who, in
order to supply the markets of the East,
chased after them even to the upper
waters of the Snake River. There are
large sturgeon in the waters of the Volga
and other large rivers of Europe, but
none so large as those of the Columbia.
There Is also the pretty and delicious
smelt of the Columbia, which is taken
by scores of tons every Spring; the lus
cious shad, which grows to the weight of
10 pounds In the Columbia, and which
many have already forgotten was "plant
ed" here only a few years ago; as well
as mary other varieties of fish, not for
getting the catfish, the carp, and the black
bass, all of which will look well ln an
aquarium. At Oregon City or right ln
front of this city, salmon can be caught to
keep any number of tanks supplied at a
small expense. There has been no at
tempt made ln this suggestion to give an
idea of the number of varieties of fish
which can be supplied for an aquarium,
nor has anything been said ln regard to
the many rare and curious salt-water fish
which could be procured at a small cost.
The matter of the aquarium can be con
sidered at leisure, but the work of pre
paring an extensive selection of rose
bushes cannot be taken In bond too soon.
The keynote of the work of tho Wo
man's Exchange Is found in the accepted
theory that the truest philanthropy Is
that which helps the needy to help them
selves. To arrive at the most useful re
sults it has for Its object the providing
EX-MAYOR YOUXG, OF SYDNEY, AD
VISES AGAINST FIR BLOCKS.
He Says They Decay Too Soon-How
Wood Streets Are Made in
Australia.
When ex-Mayor John Young, of Syd
ney, Australia, was ln Portland a few
weeks ago, he noticed that several of
the wood-paved streets were needing re
pair, although the blocks had been down
but four years. He was Just returning
home from a tour of Europe and the
of a depot for the reception and sale of United States, but had found no pave
any marKctaoie article wnicn a woman
can make in her own home, or any valua
ble article which her necessities oblige
her to dispose of, thereby assisting her
to turn to personal profit whatever useful
talent she may possess. Many women are
kept closely within the four walls of
home by manifold domestic duties, the
care of little children or helpless inva
lids, who find It necessary to add -to the
income of themselves and those depend
ent upon them.
But how Is It to be accomplished?
Here comes ln the Exchange work.
A salesroom Is provided and articles
reaching the required standard are placed
on sale, the consignor paying a commis
sion of only 10 per cent, while her work
is placed before the public and assist
ance given which lifts the burden from
many shoulders.
The committee, which has for several
vears been In charge of this work ln
ment, he said, that would last so well as
the wood block pavement of his own city,
much of which was still Intact, after 20
years of hard usage. He noticed that
Fourth street was about to be repaired
with fir blocks, which he considered too
soft to stand the heavy traffic or a large
city.
In the following letter to The Oregon
Ian, written on board the steamship
Sonoma and mailed at Pago Pago, Samoa,
November 7, he describes the manner of
laying the pavement so successfully used
In Sydney. He says Oregon oak would
be better than fir.

DISTINGUISHED POLITICAL ECONOMIST
PROFESSOR RICHARD T. EIAT WILL SOON BE IN PORTLAND.
Tho next lecture In the course to
bo Riven by the Economic League,
December S. is by tills noted writer
and speaker, who is at present pro
fessor of political economy and
science at the University of Wis
consin. Richard T. Ely Is a graduate of
Columbia, New York, and later of
Heldelburg. In 1SS1 ho was ap
pointed to the chair of political
economy In tho Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Maryland, holding the po
sition 11 years.
As an economist. Dr. Ely Is dis
tinguished, not only for his writ
ings on special subjects In political
economy, but also tor the spirit he
has infused into tho science ln
this country, and for the remark
able revival of popular Interest ln
It, with which ho Is, doubtless, more
to ba credited than any other
one man. Hho Is looked on as the
leader In this country of the school
of economists who have empha
sized the social side of economic
science. "With him, as with ltos
cher, tho objective point, as well as tho starting point, of economics. Is
num. To him la also largely duo tho credit of the Introduction of German meth
ods of Investigation and treatment of political economy. "While not denying tho
value of tho deductive school, ho has been a steady ndvocate of the Importance
of tho Inductive method-of tho view that economics and ethics arc vitally con
nected, and that economic environment and life are less subject to physical laws
and more to human Influence than tho so-called classical school of political econ
omy formerly admitted.
Another line ln which Dr. Ely's lnfluenco has been strongly felt Is ln the
awakening of the churches to their duty with regard to the various social prob
lems of the day.
His publications have taken front rank in all discussions of social and mu
nicipal problems, and his crltlqu- of socialism, of tnonoplles and trusts, and of
the past and present political economy. la masterly ln breadth and prophetic
discrimination. Some of his works have been translated Into several languages.
Including Japanese, and he is regarded both In Europe and America as a lead
ing authority.
Dr. Ely's theme oa next Tuesday evening Is "Evolution of Industrial Soci
ety." In order to accommodate the large audlenoe anticipated the main room of
the' Unitarian Church will bo occupied. Instead of the chapel.

Gum No. 3, or Jarrah No. 4, have been
proved by experience to be the best tim
bers for the purpose, and ln the order
I have placed them. It is, however, very
probable that Oregon oak. or others of
the hard timbers that are durable and
will not decay ln such a position, would
be suitable, but fir or pine are not suit
able for wood block.
The wood blocks, nine Inches by three
inches, and six Inches deep, when cut
should be stacked for six months, and
then be painted with coal tar on four
sides and top, leaving "the bottom end
that Is to rest upon the cement free from
tar. And when the tar has soaked Into
the blocks and dry they are ready for
use.
When required for use, freely paint the
four sides and top of the block again,
with tar, thickly laid on, and lay while
the tar Is wet, and pave the street ln
three-Inch courses at right angles across
the street close together, each course to
break bond with the adjoining courses.
After a breadth of paving Is laid, boiled
tar should be run ln ell Joints, to fill
them up, and-dTy, sharp sand sprinkled
thickly over all Joints and Into all Joints.
It Is necessary to leave a space of two
Inches on each side of the road next the
curbing of footways, to allow for the ex
pansion of wood blocks, and these spaces
should be filled up with mineral asphalt
and sand, mixed half and half, which,
being elastic, will adjust Itself to the ex
pansion and contraction of the wood pav
ing. It would benefit the wood paving when
laid. If afterwards at intervals and ln
perfectly dry weather, the surface was
cleared of dirt and swept clean; then
paint over the whole surface with a good
thick coat of boiled tar, put on hot and
the surface sprinkled thickly with coarse
dry, sharp sand, to be left on the surface
for vehicles to grind in. This should be
done at least once a year, or oftener If
required, adding to the durability of the
pavement and doing away with any sllp
perlness of the surface.
A pavement of this description would
bear heavy traffic for 20 years.

LOCAL CHINESE CARE NO r

OF GEARY LAW.
They Are In "Let the Otliers Sneak

The Chinese of this city have as yet
taken no definite" steps toward fighting
the re-enactment of the Geary exclusion
law, although as a matter of course,
they are opposed to the measure. They
are In, however, and believe the other

W. 3. Gordon, a New York oyster dealer,
who also owns large oyster beds in vari
ous places East, and who has been look
ing into the oyster business here and at
oiher places on this Coast, left for the
East last night. He assure. a friend,
who was at the train to see him off, that
as soon as he could settle up his business
he was coming back to this section to
reside.
The object of his visit was to ajertain
why there was so little business in Eastern
oysters done here nowadays. He had
been here before, and was well informed
In regard to the small native oysters of
Olympla and Shoalwater Bay, and knew
of the several failures that had been maue
In attempts to Introduce Eastern oysters
ln tins state.
When ho ran across the Toke Point oys
ters ho at once saw that they were some
thing new here, and In Inquiring Into the
matter saw that there was no further
need for Eastern oysters here. He has
visited all the principal oyster-producing
sections of this region, and says that
Toke Point, on Willapa Harbor, comes as
near to his Idea of Paradise as any place
he ever expects to see. The beach Is one
of the finest places for oyster culture he
knows of, and the fact that a volume of
pure fresh water from the Willapa and
Cedar Creek sweeps across the beds, with
the tides, makes the place an Ideal one
for fattening and flavoring oysters.
But, besides the oysters, there are razor
clams, quahogs and New York clams and
crabs the largest and finest he has ever
seen are plentiful as blackberries. Floun
ders can be caught whenever wanted, and
in the streams mentioned a string of fine
salmon trout can be caught any day at
this season, while further up mountain
trout arc plentiful.
At this season the bay is alive with
ducks and geese, and the woods are alive
with deer, which, however, are not allowed
to be shot now, but Will be some day.
Then, in the proper season, there Is fine
snort trolllnjr for salmon, and with a seine
nnv number of them may be taken. The
beacn in tne vicinity oi lone i-oim aa
always been the site of the finest beds
of native oysters ln the bay, and Mr. Gor

of their ground, which cannot fail to pro

Imaginable as long as present conditions
continue.
"To a man who like myself 13 fond of
fishing and hunting." said Mr. Gordon,
"this section appears one of the most de
sirable places imaginable to live in, and
I intend that my Summers, at least, shall
hereafter be spent there. If the people of
the East could only -realize the advan
tages this Coast has over the East, In
climate and productions, there would be
a great many more of them coming out

one can realize these advantages from

ized labor. The Geary exclusion law will
expire In May, 1902, but the prospects for
re-ennctment before that time are decid
edly bright.
In speaking of the present situation,
George M. Orton. president of the Fed
erated Trades Council, said: "I think the
prospects for re-enactmont of the law
are bright. A good deal has been done
and Is still being done to urge Congress
to act on the matter at once. a the ques
tion is of no little moment, especially
to the people of the Paclilc Coast"
A. A. Bailey, secretary of the Federated
Trades Council, said: , "We will not
cease in our efforts to persuade Congress
to re-enact this measure. The American
Federation of Labor will have a strong

Amcricanlzed, and w ought not to allow
any more of them to come In."

PIINEY WOODS.

To go to the plney woods is a. help,
but If one carries along the bad habits
of food and drink that have caused sick
ness, the plney woods will not produce
a recovery.
Coffee drinking caused blindness In a
Virginia gentleman, and hLs remarkable
experience Is worth reading. "I have
been a coffee drinker since my earliest
remembrance. If I ralsscd coffee at a
meal It brought on headache. This should
have shown me that I was a victim to
a drug habit. Finally, wakeful, restless
nights came on. After dinner I was al
ways drowsy and after sleeping would
waken stupid and morbid, and felt a3
though I had been drugged, and when this
feeling wore off nervousness and restless
ness would set In until I drugged myself
with coffee again.
"At last my eyesight began to fall.
Some of the best optical specialists agreed
that I had an affliction of the optic nerve
and after two or three years' treatment
my eyes slowly lost their power and ll
became almost sightless.
"I was advised to go to a pine woods,
near the sea ln a most Isolated place
This I did and lived there for two years
without any visible benefit. I gave up all
hope of recovery until last Spring a friend
expressed the belief that the coffee I
drank was the cause of all of my trouble.
He had been a slave to It and had beeal
unable to find relief until he quit and!
took up Postum Food Coffee.
"His experience startled me and I de-l
elded to try the change, although I had
but little faith In Its merits. My first cut
of Postum proved delicious, and was
great surprise. It was evidently well
made. I had not the slightest trouble lr
leaving off coffee, for the Postum filled It
place perfectly.
"During the past six months I have
gained In flesh, my sallow complexion has
become clear, and my eyesight gradually!
Improved until now I am able to reat
and write. My mind Is once more cleat
and active, and I no longer suffer fror
sleepless, nervous spells. You can imagine
