TO DISCUSS CHARITIES.
.State Conference Ia Planned fey
Pro mine nt Citizen.
The executive committee of the Oregon
State Conference of Charities and Correc
tion met yesterday afternoon in the par
lors of the City Board of Charities, when
there were present: W. T. Gardner,
Thomas N. Strong.'Dr. Stephen S. "Wise,
Dr. T. L. Eliot, Mrs. L. W. Sltton and
Mrs. Ernest Brpss.
Mr. Thomas N. Strong, who was ap
pointed as a committee of one to draft a
constitution and by-laws, made his report, i
which was adopted. It starts with a
statement of the objects of a conference
of charities and correction, which are
to afford an opportunity for those en
gaged in charitable and reform work to
confer respecting their methods, princi
ples of administration and results accom
plished; to diffuse reliable Information re
specting charitable and correctional work,
and encourage co-operation In humani
tarian efforts, with, the aim of further
improving the system of charity and cor
rection In the State of Oregon. With
this end In view, an annual State Con
ference -will be held at a time and place
to be agreed upon at the preceding annual
session, at which addresses shall be made,
papers read, discussions carried on, and
general business transacted In accordance
with the by-laws of the Conference.
The Conference shall not, however,
formulate any platform nor adopt reso
lutions or memorials having a like effect.
It further states that the qualifications
for membership of the Conference are:
All who have an active Interest in the
public or the private charitable or cor
rectional work In the State of Oregon are
Invited to enroll themselves as members
of the Conference. No other tests of
membership shall be applied, and no"
membership fee charged, the expanses of
the Conference being met by voluntary
contributions.
The constitution then goes on to provide
for the officers of the Conference and
standing committees. A short discussion
ensued on the adoption of the constitution
as to -whether a conference should be
called, "A Northwest Conference," or
"An Oregon State Conference," but the
committee decided to call It the latter
as it was felt that the name of the state
would be an adyanage and that It would
be better to confine the membership
within Its limits.
The comnjlttce on programme reported
progress and -read communications from
different Interested parties pledging aid.
A letter -was also read from Governor
Geer, in which he has promised to ap
point delegates from the several slate In
stitutions to attend the conventloi. He
also hoped to be there In person. The
members of the committee expressed
thmselves of the opinion that the Govern
or would probably attend, as it is the
practice all over the United States, for
the chief executive to attend these con
ferences. A letter -was read from Miss
Anita Whitney, secretary of the Associat
ed Charities of Oakland, California, who
Informed the committee that California
would hold a conference of charities and
correction in San Francisco from Febru
ary 14 to 17, and that Mrs. Falconer, the
chief children's probation officer. of,Chl
cago. and Dr. S. G. Smith, of St. Paul,
president of the State Board of Charities
and Correction, of Minnesota, would also
attend and address the Conference. Dr.
Smith Is well known in charitable and
correctional work. He made the open
ing speech at the last National Confer
ence of Charities and Correction held at
Washington, D. C, and on that evening
the Foundry Methodist Church -was
crowded to overflowing. . Dr. Smith is
also known In Portland, and a- few
years ago addressed an annual meeting
called by the City Board of Charities at
the Marquam Grand.
The committee on hall reported that the
only available place of meeting was some
church. Several were spoken of, but It
was finally decided that the First Bap
tist Church "would "be the most suitable.
It was then unanimously decided to
hold a two days' session and to devote
one session to state institutions, at which
L meeting Dr. Williamson, of the Oregon
State Insane Aslyum, will be asked to
make a short address on the work among
the insane, and Superintendent tee, of
the Oregon State Penitentiary, -will also
be asked for a short paper on "Modern
Prisons." Ex-Governor and Mrs. Moody
will be invited and many other prominent
speakers, as It will bo the endeavor of
the committee to make the work of the
Conference of great benefit to the entire
state.

AT ITS BEST.
In "The Dromonoes," at the Fredericks
burg this week, the London Gaiety Girls
Introduce a startling feature. As a re
sult the house Is crowded, and the crowd
waits for the climax, which appears
about 10:30 P. M. No bookings ever made
by the Fredericksburg management have
proved such drawing-cards as those on
hand now. The Gaiety Girls are gay
and the Malvern Brothers, in their up-to-date
acrobatic feats, cannot be sur
passed anywhere. All in all, the Fred
ericksburg is at Its best, and that Is
saying much for the best free show In
America. '

SCOW DWELLING MOVED
WORKMEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
MRS. WHITING'S ABSENCE.
Her Little Home Is Taken Oat of the
"Way to Make Room for Sapple'a
Banding-.
Preparations are being-made to move
the two-story building- that stood on the
corner of East Second and East Morri
son streets on to the foundation In Sup
pie's shipyard. At the foot of Belmont
street Mrs. Whiting's house still obstruct
ed the way, and yesterday while she was
absent the housemovers moved it back
about 15 feet so as to have Toom for the
large building. It was found that they
could not get the large structure on to the
foundation, while her house remained. It
was moved back, but not out of the street.
The men worked with a little nervous
haste so tbey could get through the Job
before Mrs. Whiting should return, fdr
they were not sure what would happen
when she returned. Mr. Supple o'ffered
her $20 for the house, but she was advised
by Governor Pennoyer that she should
have $250.
It is Mr. Supple's intentions to clear
Belmont street between East Water and
the river so that It may be used by the
general public The large building will
stand on the south side of Belmont and
face East Water street. He will move
everything he has In the street, thus giv
ing access to the Tlver. Belmont street
will then be the only street for many
blocks open to the river which may be
used by the public A roadway will be
built from East Wrater street on an easy
grade to the low ground.
WANT BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES.
Brooklyn Sab-Board Asks for Addi
tion Movement to Clenn Up.
At a well-attended meeting of the
Brooklyn Sub-Board of Trade, held last
night In the hall on Powell street, the
matter of securing bettor school facilities
and also cleaning up that portion of the
city, were considered. Attention was
called to the overcrowded condition of
the Brooklyn schoolhouse. In the dis
cussion it was remarked that already )
pupils were compelled to recite out In
the hallway, and by th February term
there would be a considerable Increase :n
attendance. It was decided to ask the
taxpayers' meeting to vote a tax sufficient
to provide more rooms to the Brooklyn
building. Waldemar Seton was elected
to represent the community at the meet
ing, and an effort will be made to have a
large delegation of citizens present.
The following resolutions were then
passed, bearing on the cleaning up of the
community and the American Civic Im
provement League:
"Whereas, A considerable portion of the East
Side is disfigured by unsightly piles of rubbish
of every description, rotten sidewalk board,
tin cans, 'Aire and scraps, and In many places
the ravines are dumping places for vegetables
and bousehold'refuse; and
Whereas, The Mayor has declared In his re
cent message that there Is great need of a
general cleaning up of the city by the removal
and destruction of all perishable rubbish; there
fore, be It
Resolved, That it Is the sense- of this Sub
Board of Trade that a concerted effort should
be made In every community to carry out the
suggestions of the Mayor; that an appeal
should be made to the school children to take
part In this movement In that they may be
encouraged In habits of order and thrift; and
be It further
Resolved, That we Indorse the purposes of
the American Civil Improvement League, which
It Is proposed to organize In Portland In ttio
near future, so that 'our city should become
noted for cleanliness and good order; and bo
It further
Resolved, That wa make a special appeal
to that part of the East Side south of Division
street to engage. In a general cleaning up of
rubbish, and to this end that a strong commit
tee bo appointed to. ask property-owners and
residents to engage In this work, and also to
visit the Brooklyn and Clinton Kelly Schools
and ask the pupils to aid In this work, so that
this district shall be thoroughly and system
atically cleared up.
- A committee was appointed to visit the
Brooklyn and Clinton Kelly schools, and
ask the pupils and teachers to co-operate
In the cleaning up and beautifying of the
neighborhood.
FOR CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS.
President Donangh, of Scllwood Snb
Board, Favor Movement.
D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sell
wood Sub-Board of Trade, says that he
heartily approves the purposes of the
American Civic Improvement League. To
some extent that organization has in op
eration a movement to clear up and clean
up all that portion of the city. Along this
line much has been accomplished. "We
are going to do more," said Mr. Donaugh
yesterday, "and I think that now Is the
time for starting In everywhere. All
should help. We are going to press the
matter up here the best we can. It takes
time to get people to appreciate the bene
fits from a clean neighborhood, but they
are coming to It. We are In sympathy
with the purposes of the American Civil
Improvement League I think, however,
that each neighborhood -will have to look
out for Itself, perhaps through local or
ganizations. At present nothing Is more
important than to get rid of the unsightly
rubbish. It -will cost little or nothing to
do this if all put their shoulders to the
wheel and do a little. Let every resi
dent make It a point to clean, up his own
premises and some of the surroundings,
and It will not be very long before a
vast Improvement will bo made. The rea
son that now is the time is that It Is safer
to burn up rubbish than In the Summer
when there is danger."
MOUNT TABOR TEACHERS IN LINE.
They Too Ask for Increase of Sal
aries From District!
At a meeting of .the Board of Educa
tion of the Mount Tabor School District,
No. 5, held Monday evening In the main
building on West avenue, a communica
tion was received from the teachers of the
district asking that their salaries be re
adjusted so as to correspond to some ex
tent with those paid ia 'the city. The
maximum salary paid to the teachers is
$50. No specific demand was made, and
10 per cent increase was named. All
that was left to the directors and the
taxpayers of the district. No action was
taken on the communication, but the mat
ter will be laid before .the annual meet
ing of the taxpayers, who wUl decide
whether the request will be granted or not.
Any Increase would probably not apply
this year. The total of salaries for one
month for all the teachers and that of the
janitor is $680.
It was decided at this meeting that the
next annual meeting should be held in
themaln building "on Monday evening,
January 27. Clerk Field has begun prep
arations for the annual report. As far as
ho has gone it is shown that the finan
cial condition of the district is better
than at any time for a number of years.

number than has been in the Institution at
one time for several years. On hand are
applications for others.
The board has not yet been able to do
anything toward the erection, of a hos

LAMBERT SELLS FOR $40,000.
Tract of 1GO Acres Goes to Wavejrly
Association.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 14. A $40.C00 trans
fer was filed for record In the Courthouse
today by William Whlddcn, secretary of
the Waverly Association, by the terms of
which J. H. Lambert conveys to the asso
ciation about 1C0 acres of land adjoining

Edward Close, one of the proprietors
of a farm and hog ranch on the Base
Line road, emphatically denies the state
ment made by a farmer of that vicinity,
to the effect that 50 hogs which recently
died on Mr. Close's ranch were victims
of hog cholera. He says that no one has
been at his place to examine the dead
hogs except his neighbor, William
Reames, who Is convinced that they were
poisoned. Mr. Close says he examined
the stomachs of some 25 of the hogs, and
found tarred paper In them. This is a
sure poison for hogs, and one that they
will eat, but In this case some kind of
ground grain was put on the paper, to
make the hogs cat It more readily. The
hogs did not exhibit any symptoms of
cholera, and after they were poisoned,
lingered for three to four weeks before
dying. Mr. Close says that some of the
people In the section where his ranch is
appear to want to drivo him and his
partners away. They were told that It
was no place for a hog ranch there, and
a horse was stolen from them and after
ward a number of young pigs. He saya
they have the place leased for three years
and that they have used their neighbors
right, and can sec no reason for any one
wishing to Injure them.

Is bound to become, a popular driveway. A
fine view of the Willamette River for
many miles may be had from it. The

cigars.
A citizen who was assisting to search
the premises suddenly said: "Hush h hi"
and he pointed to what looked to be a
person sleeping on a sofa. The unknown
one was covered with a blanket, but the
listeners were puzzled when they did not
hear any sound of his breathing. There
was not even a snore. With cautious
tread they approached the sofa, lifted the
blanket, and discovered that It covered
three boxes.
"We had better not say anything about
this," 'said somebody to somebody else,
and the party nodded in assent. Police
men Bailey and Gibson were placed on
the case, and they started to make a
search for the robber, but the latter heard
that the sleuths were after him, and 337
in money and several cigars were hur
riedly thrown on the saloon counter by an
unknown man. who made his escape be
fore his Identity could be learned.
Bailey and Gibson soon after this ar
rested Fred Broskey. on suspicion of be
ing Implicated In the robbery. Broskey
stated that he had nothing to tell about
the affair. The police are still working
on the case.

Reasons' "Why We Can "Undersell Oor
Competitors.
We do our own selling.
We do our own tuning.
Wo do our own collecting.
We do many other things that other!
dealers have to pay large salaries ior.
We keep our expenses down to a mini
mum, and consequently can sell at a
smaller profit than can any other dealer
in Portland.
We carry only high-grade pianos, such
as Steinway & Sons, Emerson. Estey, A.
B. Chase. Richmond & Starr, and we can
sell you one for small payments, from $6.00
up. Why not get one of these good
standard makes, when you can buy them,
for as little br less money than you would
have to pay elsewhere for "pianos of ob
scure manufacture? .
Why take chances?
It will pay you to see us and get our
prices.
