Resi dents of Piedmont, Highland and "Wood lawn, includlngr the northeastern district, are anxious for better fire protection than is now afforded by the single chemical engino company stationed at Highland. Covering a territory in' -which there are many thousands of houses, and being compelled to make long runs in case of fire alarms, this engine Is- considered -wholly Inadequate for so large a district. A fire engine is wanted at Highland -with a full company, and then by placing the present chemical farther northward, that district would be served fairly welL The opening and Improving of Union avenue has caused that district to build up rapid ly, besides houses are springing up direct ly all about the Highland schoolbouse, where an addition of four rooms Is to be built to accommodate the Increased at tendance. East of Union avenue or more than a mile dwellings have been erected almost solidly, and yet all this district has no protection other than that afforded by the Highland chemical, and incidentally Engine No. 8, in Central Al bino, which is too far off to render ef fective service. The run is too far. The people of this district will formulate a de znand for some additional fire protection. "VVi&l. Tell Stout op Bull Run. If Professor Law, of the South Mount Tabor School, is able to carry out his plans, that school will place in the educational dis play at the Lewis and Clark Fair an illustrated story of the building of the Bull Run pipe line from. Portland, to the terminus near Mount Hood. He is get ting together the necessary pictures to illustrate the story from point to point. There are plenty of photographs of scenes along the route, but they are hard to get hold of, and nst are too large for the purpose. Professor Law thinks it may be necessary for blm to make a special trip to the head works and take the views him seld, in order to get pictures of the right size. Good Results of Revival Meetings. Rev. A. Lawrence Black, of the Cavalry Baptist Church, where revival meetings were held for three weeks, reports that at least 70 professed conversion.

A large amount has already been collected for this purpose. A build ing association has been formed, and the members make monthly payments toward the fund. In May the parish is planning to hold a church fair, which will net the building fund, It is hoped, several thou sand dollars. The members have entered the work with enthusiasm, and have set their hearts on a. church that cannot be equalled, in the city. " Will Have Banquet.

"WILL MAKE CHASITIES EXHIBIT Northwestern Work In This Field to Be Displayed at Fair.

PREPARING FOR FAIR GUESTS Portland Hotel Making Changes in Policy and Facilities. Manager Bowers made the announce ment last night that on and after May 1. the Portland Hotel wilt- be run exclusive ly" upon the European plan. Heretofore the big hotel has maintained both Amer ican and European plans, having a regu lar dining-room and one of the hand somest cafes In the United States. The present dining-room will be remodeled and redecorated, and will' be converted into a second cafe, which will be almost as elaborate as the present one. Both restaurants will be run on the same prin ciple as the present one. the service being as fine as can be found anywhere in the country, and the prices maintained at a figure within the reach of the entire trav eling public. Mr. Bowers asserts that he has no in tention of following the St Louis pre cedent of raising his prices to an unrea sonable figure. There will be a flat ad vance In the price of rooms of 23 per cent and prices in the cafes will remain as they are. The attractive feature of having music in the court every evening during the Summer will be continued, and a splendid orchestra of 14 pieces will be emploved. Reservations of rooms are coming In in great numbers every day, and the pros pects are that the Portland will be taxed to Its full capacity during the entire Fair The work of Installing telephones In each room is nearlng completion, and an .elab orate new lighting system is being put in. PERSONAL MENTION. George Conser. the well-known Hepp ner banker, was at the Imperial yester day. Walter L.

Many persons keep Carter's Little Liver Pills -on hand to prevent bilious attacks, sick headache, dizziness, and find them Jturl what key sc& ' SLUMP NOT COMING Fair Will Not Injure Real Es tate Values. DEALERS EXPECT PROSPERITY Declare Prices Will Be Higher After Exposition, as Many Easterners Will Be Attracted by Oregon and Invest Money Here. Believing that real estate in general will greatly decrease la value after the Lewis and Clark Exposition, many people who are desirous of purchasing homes and property are waiting until the Fair will have closed. Real estate dealers and the business men of Portland are almost uni versally of the opinion that property will greatly increase after the Exposition. This has been the case of the City of St. Louis, which was materially benefited by the World's Fair held there last Sum mer. Business has not only been par ticularly brisk in St Louis since the Fair but the real estate transfers for the first two months of the new year aggregate J10.3S5.902, a record which has never been equaled in the city for the months of January and FAruary. The feature of the real estate market at St Louis so far this year has been tho unusual demand for valuable corner prop erty in the business sections. These have proven to be profitable investments for capital, even at the high prices asked for them. Good sales have also been made In the residence sections. Not injured by Fair. St Louis is an old established, city, and the unusual demand for real estate shows that it has been benefited by the Fair Instead of Injured, as was predicted. Port land, on the other hand, is but in its In fancy, and offers every Inducement for the Judicious Investment of capital. It Is for this reason that the real estate deal ers predict that there will be a greater demand for property after the Exposition than at St Louis, proportionately. "Property will moro than hold its own after the Exposition." Bald David S. Stearns, last evening. "An Increase in population and the opening up of new fields of Industry whWi have heretofore been untapped will naturally result In property becoming more In demand. This will cause values to go up accordingly. There is no doubt In my mind but what this will be the condition and the result of the Exposition. Thousands of East erners will locate in Oregon and Port land. Steady Increase in Values. "For some time there has been a steady Increase In real estate values. This in crease will continue. In a year's time property will be a great deal higher and more in demand than it is now. There is only one thing that could affect the real estate values of this city, and that is the reaction from a boom. The. Lewis and Clark Exposition will do great wonders for this country, but I do not believe It will go so far as to create an unnatural condition." "The real estate business for next year will be much better than at the present time," says A. H. Blrrell. "The real estate transfers for this year have by no means been slack. However, there Is a tendency among the prospective buyers to hold back with their Investments unt(l after the Exposition, with the hope that the 'values will be lower. Instead, the property will be higher. There-will be more people In Portland after the Fair than there is now, for there Is no doubt but what a certain percentage of the thousands and thousands of Eastern vis itors who arc coming will locate here and Invest capital. As a result there will be more of a demand for property." Will Suffer No Reaction. "This talk to the effect that Portland will suffer a reaction that will be demor alizing as the result of the Lewis and Clark Exposition is an old exploded the ory." said Lewis Russell, of the firm of Russell & Blyth, last evening. "Actual facts show that most of the cities in which Expositions have been held have been materially benefited. This was the case at St Louis, at which was held the largest and most successful exposition that the world has ever known. There is no danger of Portland suffering a reac tion. Instead. It will receive a fresh Im petus In her growth. Real estate will be higher than ever before." "Of course there will be a slight reac tion after the Fair." said N. W. Roun tree. of the firm of Rountree & Diamond, when asked for his opinion. "There have been a number of small stores springing up as a result of the Exposition, and they will suffer to a certain extent after business has resumed Its normal stage. Real estate values will not be affected In the least but will continue to be on the increase, as they are now. We have re ceived more inquiries during the last month as to large and -valuable proper ties than ever before. The property-owners are not anxious to sell and would not sacrifice their holdings, as they believe values will go up and stay up. There Is no doubt In my mind but that such will be the case." MAY CAUSE FAMINE OF LOGS Lumbermen Say More Dry Weather Would Prove Disastrous. "The lumber output of Oregon and Washington Is liable to be very material ly affected if we should have another siege of dry weather," said O. A Pal mer, a lumberman of Boring, who was in Portland yesterday. "Nearly all the small streams of the two states are Jammed with logs which cannot be re moved because of the low stage of water. This is due to the bright weather we have been having. Although the days have been warm, the snow on the moun tains docs not melt as fast as when it rains. "There arc 15.000.000 feet of logs In the Cowcman River alone that cannot be re moved until there is high water. I un derstand that the same conditions pre vail In the other streams. At this time last year the stream was cleared of logs. This Is the first time in years that this difficulty has been experienced. If the water does not rise high enough to carry the logs off they will probably remain there for several months. They might be removed by artificial means with don key engines, but this method would be very slow and expensive." The possibility of a famine of logs is not quite so Imminent as it was a couple of weeks ago. but the situation has not been relieved to any great extent If the logs that are tied up on the Coweman and the Cowlitz Rivers could be removed there would be- no danger of a famine. There are about 20,000,000 feet of logs in the two streams. Dressing Up Dogs. - Cleveland Moffet in Success. "There arc pet dogs In New York." I Insisted, "worth 55000. There are St Ber nards worth 57000. There are women In New York who spend 51000 a year on clothes for their poodles." "On clothes for their poodles?" "Certainly: on house coats, walking coats, dusters, sweaters, coats lined with ermine at 5200 each, automobile coats with hoods and goggles, and each coat fitted with a pocket for the poodle's handkerchief of fine linen or lace"" "1 never heard of such a thing." "It im absolutely trus. .Furthermorsv these women buy for their pet dogs boots of different colored leather to match the coats, nous boots, street boots, etc, thatl lace up nearly to the knee and cost from J3 to 5S a pair. They buy naif a dozen pairs at a time. And they buy collars, set with rubles, pearls or diamonds, at sev eral hundred dollars each. A man who makes a specialty of such collars told me of a woman who imported from Paris a complete outfit for her poodle costing C0O0. And one lady had a house built for her dog. the exact model of a Queen Anne cottage, with rooms papered and car peted and the windows hung with lace curtains. Every morning a woman calls (a sort of dog governess) to bathe and comb and curl and perfume the little darling, and then take him out for his walk. He eats and drinks from silver dishes and if he gets a stomach ache, a specialist is promptly summoned." "What, a dog specialist?" "Precisely. New York has Its fashiQnablo dog doctors, who get 210 a visit and sleep with a telephone at their bedside for night calls, like regular practitioners. One lady whom I know summoned a specialist from New York to Newport and kept him there for a week, at $100 a day, because her poodle was ailing." MEN. ARE GOING BACK TO WORK Rumors Lead to Belief That Exposi tion Strike Is Over. The plasterers' strike. It was 'rumored yesterday, has been declared off by their union, and all the men will go back to work on the Fair grounds this morning. But whether that rumor Is true or not it is known that the 20 men who struck on the Government building applied yester day, through their foreman, to be put back to work. J. E. Bennett, the con tractor, acceded, and will put as many men to work on the Job as he can use. Tinker & De Gesen's men, who have been working on the Trail, and have also been out will go back to work, too. The plasterers' strike was the only one of a serious nature at the Fair grounds during the last few days, and now that it has gone through, it is to be argued that the strike is dead, though the build ing trades unions, which are determined to see it through, still claim to be con fident of victory. Just or unjust the strike will be completely ended. If the plasterers prove earnest in their desire to return to work. But the plasterers have knocked them selves out of about 57003 by their strike, the amount of wages which would have gone to them if they had not been fright ened. Contractor Wuerster, of the Amer ican Inn, Is looking Into sending East for plaster boards with which to finish his structure. These panels of plaster and paper are nailed without further ado to the wall, and knock the local plasterers out of a good Job. On the American Inn there are 60,000 yards of plastering to be done, the contract price for which, done under ordinary methods, would have been SIS, 000. of which 57000 would have been paid out in wages to the plasterers. SINGS AT THE SUNDAY CLUB Oliphant Sisters Do Much to Make Meeting of Interest. The meetings of the Sunday Club at the Y. M. C. A continue to attract large numbers of men and the one yesterday afternoon was no exception. The regular half-hour concert by Coulter's orchestra was followed by a service of song In the auditorium, a cornet solo by Oak P. Myers and an address by Miss Minnie Oliphant Several vocal selections were given by the Oliphant Bisters during the services and the sermonette by Miss Oliphant upon the parable of the "Prodigal Son" was greatly enjoyed. Secretary H. W. Stone spoke of the work of the associa tion and compared the local branch with that in San Francisco. He said that. In Portland they have larger educational classes and more members In the Gymna sium Club, but that the California metro polls has a larger list of members and for the purpose or Increasing member ship those in charge of the wark here had entered upon a campaign for 2000 members, which they expect to secure before the Chapman revival services are over. Crystal Shows Good Ore Values. COTTAGE GROVE, Or.. March 12. (Special.) George W. Lloyd, president of the Crystal Consolidated Mining Com pany, returned from Bohemia last night after spending a "week examining the property. He reports' everything pro gressing quite satisfactorily. The com pany has just entered the large ore body la No. 3 level, the same ore-chute struck In their No. 2 level some time ago. The ore In No. 3, now shows pay values from panning and Is six feet In width. The ore is of a base character and no gold Is noticeable in their No. 2 level, yet the assay values range from 530 to 550 per ton They have drifted over 50 feet on the pay chute In No. 2. and the ore is show ing a marked Improvement as it Is ex tended. - The ore Is being dumped In a large ore bin at the mill, which has a capacity of 250 tons.

A remarkable religious Interest is manifest in the meetings now being conducted hero by-fiev. D. S. Toy, the evangelist and. Frank Dickson, tho singer. Each service Is attended by large crowds of people and the readi ness to come forward which "Is shown by the hitherto unconverted indicates an unusual degree of receptiveness on the part of tho hearers. Sunday evening the congregation, which assembled in the Presbyterian Church was the greatest that ever at tended a church service In Grant's Pass.

While a lady and gentleman were pro ceeding by ricksha from Salisbury to Ardbennle on a Tecent Sunday evening they were considerably alarmed by see ing, soon after crossing the railway, a lioness cross their path some 25 yards ahead of them. Being taken so much by surprise they failed to check the boys, and proceeded on thejr Journey. Shortly af terward they found the beast about ten yards In the bush on one side of them, and she proceeded thus for over a mile and a hnlf. Fortunately, owing to the dirty and sllDnery condition of the road. the boys' attention was confined to their wonc or impelling the vehicle In their charge, and they did not perceive the lioness. It was thought that the very ungnx iigm wnicn tne Doys were carry ing kept the animal at a safe distance. Are you reading- Mrs. 'Wharton's atory THE HOUSE OP MIRTH IN" SCRrBNEIVS.
