The lack of developments in the Chi nese Imperial Reform Army has not entirely dispelled the hope aroused within the breasts of the Portland re cruits, although at times Impatience Is shown? The whole affair, including: the movements of the principals In the or ganization. Is still shrouded in mys tery, and the National Guardsmen in Portland woo volunteered to serve, with the exception of a possible few, know but little more than tho Infor mation given when asked to enlist. It 1c understood that two or three of the Portland recruits havo been In correspondence with men who are sup posed to be in close touch with Gen eral English, the head of tbe proposed army. The answers received have awakened a new hope among those of tbe recruits who have been advised of the contents of the letters. Captain Clifford M. Mumby. the re cruiting: officer, who has had charge of the preliminary worK of the organiza tion of the reform army on the Coast. Is at present at Seattle where he Is enlisting men to serve as officers. A communication received In Portland from Captain Mumby recently, was addressed to a recruit of this city, and it contained tne promise that Impor tant announcements would be" made In a very short time and that It would not be long until the actual work of organization would be under way. From the little that has been given i out concerning the proposed Chinose Imperial Reform Array It Is under stood that its purpose will be to take an active part in the regeneration of China, this reform movement to begin soon after the death of the Empress Dowager, which Is expected to occur soon. It Is salj that this reform movement consists of two branches, the Chinese Empire Reform Association, composed of Chinese in the United States, and the Chinese imperial Reform Army. It is for this latter branch that Cap tain Mumby Is enlisting Americana I who have had military experience. ! under the promise that all volunteers I whl be given commissions In the army i when it Is fully organized. It will Jc I volve upon these officers to drill a .d educate the Chinese soldiers not only in moJern military tactic, but in other useful tctics. A conflicting statement arises in this branch of the reform movement however. It ! said in some quarters that General R. A. Falkenburg. of San Francisco. Is the organizer of the army and Is Its commander-in-chief. In the work of enlistlns men In Portland General Falkenberg's hand never ap peared, nor was It made to appear that he had anything to do with the move ment. It has always been understood that General English, of Yankton. S. D.. was the man at the head of the j movement, and that it would be Eng I llsh who would make the final nc i ceptance of recruits and Issue com j missions after applicants had been ' passed .on by a high commission. . Dr. Tom Shec Bin is said to be the president of the Chinese' branch, the ; Chinese Empire Reform Association. I' Thlr association has a branch in Port land, but the Chinese here claim that their organization has nothing what ever to do with the army movement, j The Chinese disclaim even a knowl I edge of the existence of the army or ! ganlzation and say that their assocla I tion Is formed solely for the purpose of j bettering the condition or the Chines? 1 resident of the United State through I the forces of education. They arc not concerned with any reform movement to take place In China, nor arc they , formed as a military body, although I the younger members of the nssocla , tion are formed Into companies and j arc instructed In military tactics. This. however. It Is asserted, is simply for I the purpose of creating interest and ' enthusiasm on the part of the mem t hers, and not through any motive of i being prepared to enter the field as an l armed force. j The number of enlistments for the i reform army In Seattle 1 said to bo j 70. but no names are given out. George eTVREE'R OF NEW PO"RT LANT) PASTCR Rev. Clarence True Wilson, Who Is to Fill the Grace M. E. Pulpit, Called the "Southern Summerfield." IN securing Rev. Clarence True "Wil son for the pastorate of Grace M. E. Church that congregation feels that it Is particularly fortunate. He has just closed his third successful year in St Luke's M. E. Church, at Newark, N. J.. and will come here Immediately, having been appointed by Bishop Spell jneyer, of the Oregon conference. Mr. "Wilson is still a very young man. be ing only 33 years old. but his record as a preacher, an evangelist, a lecturer and a temperance worker is an enviable ene. and he has the distinction of being the youngest man ever ordained to the ministry in the history of Methodism. He was less than 20 when ordained by Bishop Newman to the office of deacon, and less than 22 when he became an elder "When he was a young boy and attending the Wilmington Conference Academy he used to preach Sunday mornlngs to the inmates of the state prison. One morning his father, also a minister, being unable to keep an engagement in his own pulpit, young Wilson filled his place and preached an extemporaneous sermvn which created a deep Impression, and a revival was started which resulted In 135 conver sions during the three remaining days of the meeting. His services were In constant demand and he was licensed to preach by the Wesley M. E. Church. In Dover, by the unanimous voice of the officiary. Though but 16 years of age. he was assigned to the pastorate of Rising Sun. DeL. a new "work that he had organized, and for two years he preached three times every Sunday, Ptlll keeping up his studies at school He became a popular temperance lec turer and organized the state "Inde pendent Order of Good Templars.- The papers used to apeak of Mr. Wil son aa the Delaware boy preacher, but his style was so serious and dignified and his thought of such depth that the sobriquet never fastened itself upon him. but when the New Tork World named him. "the Southern Summerfield' the title was readily adopted by his Friends. Xr. WlUca has occupied a number of B. Gole. a. Seattle lawyer, is also, said to have been appointed, Judge-Advocate of the army, with the rank of BriKadier-General. LETTEE EROK BAjUTABEE. Noted Singer Sends Note of Encour agement to Miss Case.

Black, pastor of St. Francis Catholic Church, which stands on the corner of East Eleventh and Oak streets, is able to carry out his plans he will erect a stone and brick structure on the southeast corner of East Eleventh and Pine streets, that will cost $50,000. The present church is too small, and three services are held Sun day morning for the members of the con gregation and each time the church is tilled. With the idea of building. Rev. Mr. Black started a fund over a year ago. and a considerable sum has been raised a 1 read-. His plans contemplate one, of the most beautiful church edifices In the city. He says that some of the windows alone will cost $2500, and the marble altar that will be used will cost $$000.

The Portland Consolidated Railway Company Is beginning to remove the old cable trestle on Chapman street, south of Mill, which has been for so long a landmark In the city. "When the Portland Heights line was built by the PortlalM Railway Company a short time before the consolidation of the two companies, the old cable road leading up to the Portland Heights Park, the last relic of the cable system in Port land, was done away with, and the steep trestle leading acros the gulch and up the hillside from the head of Chapman street was abandoned. The old structure will be torn down and the debris cleared away, as it has grown old and unsafe, and Is unsightly. Favors Census of Marriage. WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.

Bohlman Gaining Fame Through - Their Researches and Lec tures in Scientific Field. William Lovell Finley, the son of J. P. Finley, of this city, and his companion, Herman T. Bohlman, also a Portland boy, are winning tor themselves both fame and knowledge by their lectures and re searches on bird study and bird photogra phy The two young men are now la South ern California, where they are collecting material for a series of articles on the bird life of that section. Word comes through the papers that their lectures and work are proving of great Interest and benefit to the cities which they visit. They will return to Portland In a short time, where they will give an evening In which the pictures taken from the home life of the feathered family will be exhibited ana explained. To Join Magazine Staff. Mr. Finley Is a young man and a graduate of the University of California at Berkley. He has made a study of birds and their habits from his early boyhood. and Is fast becoming one of the authori ties, recognized In scientific circles throughout the United States. He has been chosen by the Review of Reviews company to fill one of the special writers" niches on the new publication to be put upon the market In April. This magazine will be called the Country Calendar, and will be devoted to stories of country' life, and especially to the habits and peculiar ities of the animal world. Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing, has also arranged with Mr. Finley for a number of stories on blrd3, to be printed during the coming year. Mr. Finley and his friend and co-worker, Mr. Bohlman. have Just returned from a trip through the East, where they de livered a series of illustrated lectures to large audiences before some of the lead ing scientific societies, meeting every where with much praise for the thorough ness of their work Lead Interesting Life. The life of the two men is described as being very Interesting, as well as In structive. For some time they have been working to secure pictures of the wild birds of the country as they are found in their native haunts. To accomplish this purpose excursions have been made into the depths of forests and upon the high est and most barren peaks. Long camps have been made on cliffs overhanging the ocean, and Hours have been spent strapped to the uppermost limbs of some tall tree waiting for the parent birds to return to their nests to have their pic tures taken. This work has been carried on for sev era! years by the two men working In harmony, and several thousands of pic tures have been taken by them which. with the knowledge gained of the habits of the denizens of the air, are proving of great benefit to scientists and students of nature. Naturalists of Portland are looking for ward with a great deal of Interest to the arrival of the two Portland students, and will listen with much attention to what they have to say when they arrange to give their Illustrated lectures In this city, A large number of plates have been pre pared which show the birds just as they appear in the natural state, flying through the air. feeding their young and foraging through the forests and fields for food to carry home to the nest. The lecture as given is not a dry presentation of facts and figures, but with the pictures is woven a running story of the habits and little peculiarities of the birds which is of intense Interest to the audience. whether old or young. The date for the return of the students has not yet been announced, but It Is understood to be In the near future. OPPOSE AN EXTENSION. Salmon Men Declare Open Season Should Not Be Lengthened. That the changes In the dates of the fishing season on the Columbia River, as recommended by the joint legislative com mittee of Oregon and "Washington, will meet with strong opposition seems to be the general opinion. At the meeting held last Saturday in Olympla between the committees appoint ed by the Oregon and Washington Legis latures to confer on the Columbia River fisheries and to make such recommenda tions as would make the law of the two states more uniform in regard to this In dustry, it was agreed to recommend that the open season for fishing be extended West. At Pasadena he was offered the pastorate of the M. E. Church of North Pasadena, but not wishing to transfer his membership from the New York East Conference, he did not accept the appointment and entered the University of Southern California Instead. He fln- H any joinea xne soutnern tjaurorma Conference, in 1896. and while on the Coast served in a ministerial capacity at Santa Monica. North Pasadena and the First Church, of San Diego. The Dover Delawarean says of Mr. Wilson: "Some of his poDular and theological lectures are In constant demand, .es-j peclally those on temperance. 'Asbury, 'Ingersoll. "Education" and 'Youth.' He Is a hard student and the author of more than a hundred pamphlets, tracts, published sermons or addresses, or magazine articles. He has written a scholarly work on Eschatology, entitled "The Thlncs That Are to Be.' Besides f his literary degrees he has received the B. D. from the McClay College of Theology and D. D. from St. John's College, Maryland. For three years heJ was president of, the Conference Ep worth League, Is a director of the Uni versity of Southern California and a recognized leader on the floor of his conference. "Among the characteristics which mark him as a speaker are continuity of thought, the power of close, cogent reasoning and a remarkable facility of expression.

The chief opponents to such aj change are the upper river men. who as sert that should this extension be made it would have the effect of materially de-v stroying the future supply of salmon and that none but the lower river canneries would derive any advantage from the change in the fishing season. This view is shared by many of the packers on the Columbia, Including some of the lower river men. Commercial In terests, too, who handle large quantities of the yearly output of salmon, do not look with favor on the recommendations made by tie committee. Mr. S. Fnrrell. of the Everding & Far- rell company, does not believe that the closed season should be shortened. "I am, he said, 'thoroughly In favor of protecting the salmon, and this cannot be done by shortening the closed season. Should the recommendations made be put Into effect there would be about 40, days In the entire year in which the salmon, would be allowed to reach their spawn ing grounds or to get to the hatcheries. For the future of the industry it seems to me that It would have shown more wis dom to have lengthened the present closed season than to shorten it. Under the proposed change the Spring closed season will be from March 13 to April 15. My idea Is that the closed season should extend throughout the month of April and even to the middle of May. This would give the Spring fish a chance to get up the river and would Insure a plentiful supply of fish In succeeding years. It seems that the proper protection of the fish has still to be understood, but the quicker It Is realized and carried into effect the better it will be even for the canneries. Of course, the value of the recommendations made depend entirely upon the view taken of the fishing Industry. If It Is the Idea to catch all the fish in one year and have no future supply, the abolition of the closed season and evening the shortening of the present time Is a good thing. But if we wish to maintain and have a future supply of salmon the run of each year must be protected." Similar views are held by other large salmon handlers In the city, and all are emphatic In the belief that the season should be so arranged as to allow the fish more time In which to ascend, the river.
