All moneys received from this on are to be placed in the bank, and held In trust for this purpose. We believe there are people in this city and elsewhere who are only awaiting an opportunity to place their benevolence where there Is real need and will tl;e pleasure In responding to a call for aid in erecting a suitable build ing for the class of persons cared for. by the Crittenton Home Association, than which there is no more pathetic side to humanity's varied needs. It is the plan of the organization to keep this matter before the public until there is sufficient in hand to erect the building. Among the contributions which reached us at Thanks giving none aroused our gratitude more than a $10 bill folded in a piece of blank paper, without even an accompanying initial or other means- of identification. It is hoped this may reach the eyes of the donor, that he or she may know that this voiceless beneficence was appreciated. Will not some one make December 25, 1501, or January 1, 1902, memorable by adding a substantial contribution to our present small nucleus? This might be placed in any bank willing to receive it or reported to 312 Macleay building. PRESIDENT. IN HONOR OF MR. MYERS. ParJc Commission Adopts Suitable Resolution. The funeral of the late C.

Minstrel Rands and Salvation Bands Make BIrt Xoise Hard Work Is Xearly Over for Shop Girls. It was a weary, tired crowd of shop girls and clerks that filed out of the big department stores last night, when the curtains were drawn and the last shop per had departed. Tempers had been ruf fled, patience had been tried to the limits of endurance, and there la still another day to come. Last night the streets were thronged from early after dinner until lights were extinguished in the big stores, and busi ness for the day was over. Apparently half of Portland had not made their holi day purchases before yesterday, and the jam that resulted was substantial evi dence of the city's growing population. Not all were bona-fide shoppers, and for those who came down town to see other people, and help swell the crowds there was plenty of amusement. Windows were filled with all sorts of Christmas clfts. from teethlnc rlnirw to dress-suit cases, the florists displayed their MmillimIHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMUMMMtOHHMHMM i Jjtiy. dSSftEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBftBBsflH yyfc6yjMlfrssssssssK.

A familiar sight on the streets during days preceding the holidays Is the vendor of mistletoe and holly. Usually the vehicle is a decrepit, antiquated farm wagon. In which is heaped a profusion of the foliage which sentiment associates with Christmas time. Posts rise from the four corners of the wagon bed. and entwined about them Is the mass of green holly leaves with their glowing red berries and tha mistletoe, and strings running from post to post are similarly decorated. Immense quantities of both varieties of plant life are sold in Portland every holiday season, and the man who hawks the stuff from the wagon nets a comfortable little sum for a day spent In the woods and another spent in the city. choicest blossoms and buds, and the fakers on the corners cried their wares. About :jo tne National Staff Band and Singing Brigade of the Salvation Army, which is acting as an escort to Consul Emma-Booth Tucker, came marching up Sixth street, en route to the Marquam Theater. The lassies were in the regulation blue of the army, with the queer-shaped little bon nets that distinguish them from other workers, the men in their scarlet coats and caps, and all lustily singing. An hour later Primrose & Dockstader's Minstrels, with the long coats and silk hats, that go with the minstrel parade as much as the bonnet does with the army lassies, came marching down the street to the music of the band. Their way was Illuminated with torches, and an ex travagance of Roman candles and other fireworks added to the pleasure of the watching crowds. It was a bustling, good-natured holiday throng, and every body apparently was happy. Sidewalks were hardly sufficient to hold them all, but no offense was taken if. In the hurrying to and fro, one was crowded into the street. The hotels are filled with visitors from the smaller cities and towns, and they add to tho throngs. They have come here from all parts of the state on pleasure and business, and the person who does not meet friends from home must be one who has no friends. Logging camps along the Columbia have recently paid off their men. and they are here for the holidays. In one camp alone 515,000 In cash was paid over to the men last week, and 200 of the crew left for Portland on the first train to spend Christ mas here. HOLIDAY TRADE EFFECTS. Increase Street-Car Traffic and Makes Bigger Bank. Deposits. Holiday shopping keeps people on the move these days, .and Portland's streets and stores present very lively scenes. With the city's fine system of street-cars, it is now an easy matter for Portland people to come swiftly and cheaply from their homes in the remotest suburbs to the bus iness center. The street-cars here have kept pace with the growth of the city, and are one of the greatest factors in its growth, bringing Its ends Into close touch. In calling at the offices of the several street-railway companies yesterday and asking about the general condition of things, a reporter gleaned the following facts: F. I. Fuller, general manager Portland Railway Company Our road recognizes the fact that the population of Portland and vicinity is increasing, and the com pany is providing Increased accommoda tions for the Increased traffic. Several new and modern cars are now being built, and the work will be vigorously pushed all Winter. A large number of our cars have recently been rebuilt and vestlbuled and are practically new. There Is gen erally a marked increase In travel during the holidays, and just now we are ex periencing it. All our Winter equipment is now In use. W. H. Hurlburt. president of the Port land City & Oregon Railway This road Is Increasing its efficiency right along, and Is keeping abreast of the country's prog ress and development. Where we had seven cars In use last February, we now have 1L The holiday trade causes quite a noticeable Increase In street-car traffic, and we are taking care of our part of it. We have had several new cars built, and have plenty of work for all of them. New equipment has been ordered and will be available for the Increased business of next year. Our road has Increased the service on the Mount Tabor line from 20 to 15 minutes, and on the Oregon City line from 50 to 40 mlputes, and added two cars running to Sellwood and the golf links every 20 minutes. City & Suburban Railway Company, by one of Its officers This road has kept rlKht UD With the Inerpnsn of nnntilntlnn and business. A dozen of our cars have oeen recently rebuilt from the rails up and equipped with vestibules and modem mo toi t of increased power, so that our roll ing stock Is proving amply sufficient for handling the Increasing traffic. This com pany has bought and laid during the past season hundreds of tons of GO-pound rails and new, heavy switches and frogs. The successful cast-welding of several thou- sand joints has been accomplished, and hundreds of tons of new heavy rails will soon be arriving. They have been de layed. The City & Suburban Is going to make many improvements, and will fully maintain Its position in the front rank of street railways. The Increased traffic Incident to holiday shopping is provided with full conveniences by the City & Sub urban. - As to the holiday trade's effect on bank ing,, several bankers were asked yester day, and most of them agreed that' It caused to be withdrawn from the banks no considerable amounts of money. On the other hand, they said that It increased their deposits very largely. The retail ers banked up pretty closely every day, and the increase in their deposits was very noticeable during the continuance of the holiday trade. The business causes a great demand for small change, and the banks prepare for and meet the demand, so that there Is no inconvenience. The money expended in the retail holiday trade, said one of the bankers, Is mostly loose, current funds, generally carried in the pockets and not immediately with drawn from any banking channels. SAXTA CLAUS AT CHURCH. Pretty Christmas Entertainment at Calvary Presbyterian. Santa Claus held high carnival in the Calvary Presbyterian Church last night. It was a happy time for young folks, and small wonder, therefore, that the build ing was crowded with 'them to Its ut- most capacity. Kind 'hands had convert ed the place into a very fairyland of beauty, the glistening tree, laden with toys, 'holding a conspicuous place In the foreground. Elaborate decorations of ce dar and swinging festoons of fir left hardly a vacant spot on the walls. In the audience were the children of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, seated In a body, and an Important and Interesting part of the service was the distribution of presents among them from the tree by Santa Claus himself. An unusually entertaining programme had been prepared by some one who evi dently knew exactly what children liked, for they were kept In a gale of laughter the entire evening that Is, when they were not gazing In wonder and admira tion at Jolly, red-cheeked Santa Claus and his merry crew. A visit was made to fairyland, where Santa Claus and his family Mrs. Claus, their "son Helpful and daughter Joyful made every one happy by the present that suited each one best. Little Bo Peep was given a pair of field glasses, so that she would have no more trouble In finding the sheep; Little Boy Blue had an alarm clock, to keep him up to time; there were new wigs for Jack and Jill, to repair damages occasioned by their fall, and Red Riding Hood, Miss Muf fet. Jack Horner. Jack-of-the-Beanstalk, Cinderella, Prince Charming and all the rest received gifts that were equally ap propriate. A great deal of hard work had been expended upon the costumes In this play, which were some of the pret tiest ever seen In Portland, Santa Claus particularly being very effectively gotten up In bright red, white fur and snowy beard. A leading feature of the evening was the singing of Ramona Rollins, who gave "The Birthday of the King" with charm ing effect. Her voice is attracting much attention among the musicians of the city, who consider that It holds rich promise for "a successful musical career. If proper training Is given it. Up to the present time, Ramona has not had any instruction, as she Is yet but "a child of 12 years. JOY AT THIRD-STREET MISSION'. Children Have a Merry Kindergarten j onrintniBH Tree. The children of the Third-Street Mis sion, about 45 In number, enjoyed a -kindergarten Christmas tree yesterday af ternoon. All the. pretty decorations that made It such a sparkling, fascinating pic ture to childish eyes were made for It by he children themselves in the few. days that they have had for work since tho reopening of the kindergartens all over the city. There were long strings of pop corn and garlands made of silver and gilt paper. The Idea was to .'teach the little ones the happiness of giving. This Is the reason their little fingers have been working so busily the past week. Many gifts have been made for their mothers, who were Invited to be present to enjoy the tree that the; youngsters had trimmed for them. Incidentally, of course, the small givers were not for gotten. Gay candy bags, fairly bursting with .bonbons, were distributed to all. And besides these, the boy3 received Japanese tops and the girls were made hnppy with paper dolls. A kind friend of the school, Mrs. ,W. R. Nelson, also sur prised the pupils by additional presents bright picture books, tin horns, watches and other knlcknacks that children love. All the other kindergartens, except the two on the East Side, which have not yet opened, celebrated their Christmas last week In much the same way. as that at the Third-Street Mission. Nearly all the children are In attendance again, for they are blissfully happy 'to be at school once more. They will now have vaca tion with the other public schools till the Thursday after New Year's. GOOD KID GLOVES. Holiday specials, 93c, H 15, Jl 35 and $1 50.

FIR AND CEDAR IN DEMAND GOOD EASTERN" MARKET FOR ORE GON'S FIXISUED PRODUCT. New York City Takes a Great Fancy to Our Doors Other Timbers Tried and Found "Wanting. Robert B. Shollenberger, junior mem ber of the firm of D. M. Shollenberger & Son, dealers In doors and finishing lum ber in New York City, will leave Port land today for the East, after having spent two months looking over the tim ber situation In the Pacific Northwest. His firm introduced Pacific Coast fir and cedar to the New York market about three years ago, and the demand for these woods has grown so fast that It already exceeds the supply. Mr. Shol lenberger brought a pocket full of orders West with him when he came, but was obliged to send half of them back to be filled by Eastern mills. "Our experience with the fir and cedar of this Coast has been very satisfactory," said Mr. Shollenberger last evening, "and the only limit to the trade Is the capacity of the mills here. We find that It does not nav to handle rnueh lumber thft lonsr I haul being too expensive for that com- modlty. Window- sash are also too bulky for economical transportation so far. But we have a large and growing demand for doors and finishing lumber. The Oregon fir doors are the finest that get to the Eastern market. "When pine was abundant in the East, doors were made of that wood. The diminishing supply of that timber has driven consumers to experiments, and whltewood or basswood, cypress, cedar and fir have had their tests. The fir gives far the best satisfaction, it being a hard, firm and very beautiful wood. The cypress of Louisiana, which is much used In absence of a sufficient supply of fir, has had Its day. It cannot be kiln dried, and it does not hold together well. "New York consumers have been afraid of Pacific Coast lumber and doors be cause of the great distance they must be carried. Usually it is not practicable to give orders long In advance of the time the stuff Is- needed, and then the build ers are afraid the materials cannot be put on the ground In time for the work, and delays are very damaging on many large contracts. We have found that the facilities of this Coast were not great enough to fill our orders as we needed the stock, and we have been much ham pered by this fact. The manufacturers should have larger mills and be prepared to turn out large quantities of doors and finish lumber on short notice. They should handle the trade as the manufac turers of the East handle It, then there would scarcely be a limit to the extent of the trade. "New- York does not grumble about prices, but Insists on getting the best the market affords. The material must be of high grade and workmanship of the best. When there Is failure in either of those particulars It Is not made a question of dickering for reduced prices; such wares are simply dropped. There I3 no reason why Portland mills should not turn out the very highest grade product. In rsnost cases they do this. Now they should In crease their capacity so they can supply the demand." Mr. Shollenberger made arrangements while here to handle the entire output of one mill. He has been examining the tim ber sections also, with a view to putting a large manufacturing plant In Oregon as a feeder for the New York business of the company. Chnrgcil With Larceny by Bailee.
