Will, Start Improvement Campaign.
The Mount Tabor Push Club will Inaugu
rate a campaign for general Improvement
at Its meeting this evening. In the new-
Woodmen of the world Hall, on West
avenue. It will be a social as well as a
business meeting, and a large attendance j
Js desired, in the hope that more interest
may be aroused in the work proposed by
the club. The questions before Mount
Tabor are the annexation of the school
district to the Portland district, with the
advantages of the Portland High School,
fire protection and sewerage. Although a
considerable portion of Mount Tabor was
nnnexed to Portland at the last June elec
tion, the people do not yet know where
they stand, and will not likely know until
the collection of city taxes begins next
Spring. A contest against the legality of
the annexation has been threatened by
C. W. Gay, Henry Prettyman and R. Mal
lory, but whether it will be undertaken is
not yet known.
Business Men Asked to Co-Operate.
Business men and property-owners of the
East Side are asked to co-operate with
the East Side Improvement Association in
the work it has undertaken, and attend
the meeting tomorrow evening at the
East Side courtroom, East Washington
street and Union avenue. Committees
now have in hand the Ailing of all streets
requiring it, erection of a steel bridge on
Grand avenue across Sullivan's Gulch,
the overcrowding of street-cars, public
parks and driveways, better fire protec
tion and other matters. While the meet
ings of the association have been well at
tended, the leaders say there are many
others who should attend and lend their
assistance to what has been undertaken.

has an effective volunteer Are department

buckets and lanterns. Regular business
and drill meetings arc held each month.
In case of fire, the water supply is inex
haustible. The 100,000-galIon reservoir Is
192 feet above the city, and gives a fire
pressure of 96 pounds. At present the wa
ter is pumped by an electric pump, but
there is a proposal to change to a gravity
system, and the city to purchase the
plant.
His Eleventh Church. Rev. G. A.
Blair, who founded and built the ITirst
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of
Portland, has Just completed a Presby
terian church at Clatskartie. and it will

dered him. At a recent meeting of the
priests of the archdiocese, quite a sub
stantial purse was subscribed by the
priests, and It is expected that the laity
will supplement what has already been
raised with generous subscriptions.
Number Houses and Mark Streets.
St Johns Is to be a city. The houses
are to be numbered and the streets
marked so that a stranger will be able
to find places there. At the last meeting
of the Council, a resolution was passed
authorizing the number of the houses.
Burlington street will be the pivotal
street, and numbers will run north and
south from it. Also streets will be marked
at the intersections. City Engineer Good
rich lias prepared a map showing how the
numbers are to be placed, and the work
will go forward in a short time.

Montavilla Baptist Church has extended
. call to Rev. Gilman Parker, now of
Alameda, Cal., to become Its regular pas

gon. For some time he was pastor of the

Mrs. Ella J. Longcot Disappears.
Mrs. Ella J. Longcoy, wife of Hiram
Longcoy, has again disappeared from her
home south of Milwaukle, near Gresham.
and her husband Is very anxious, for any
information concerning her whereabouts,
which will reach him through the Mil
waukle Postofflce. Mr. Longcoy said yes
terday that his wife slipped away from
the house Thursday, and he has been un
able to obtain any Information about her.
Perfectly rational on all other subjects,
on religion she is insane, and when struck
with the Idea that she must go forth to
save the world, she suddenly disappears.
Only about a week ago Mr. Longcoy
found her at Salem, after she had been
absent about two weeks. She is 40 years
old, and when she left she wore a black
dress. For some years Mrs. Longcoy has
been addicted to .these disappearing spells.
When she leaves her home she covers her
tracks so carefully that it Is very difficult
to get trace of her. Mr. Longcoy discov
ered her In Salem by means of an account
of her disappearance which was published
in The Oregonlan. He says that, to talk
with his wife, no one would suspect that
she was Insane on religion, but when she
hears a sermon or some conversation on
that subject, she becomes excited and Im
agines that she must leave, her home to
spread the gospel. She has no children.
Finds Fortune Was Spent. Captain J.
H. McMillen. the pioneer of 1S45, who lost
his fortune by trusting it In the hands
of the woman he married in Portland re
cently, has ascertained where a consld
orable portion of It went. The Captain is
still in the city, gathering evidence in the
lawsuit he has started In Oakland to re
cover possession of a house and lot pur
chased there and some cash in a local
bank. This property Is valued at JoOOO.
Captain McMillen has it under attach
ment, pending the decision of the suit in
the courts. It is considered probable that
he will gain possession of this property
and the balance in the Oakland bank, out
outside of this, it is not thought he will
recover anything. The Captain s inenas
are in hODCs that he will recover the
Oakland property in the end.
To Improve East Stark Street. Coun
cllman Dan Kellahcr is working hard to
secure tho full Improvement of East
Stark street from Water to East Twen
tieth. Of that part between Ninth and
Twentieth streets he is confident, al
though there is some opposition to the nil
between Ninth and Twelfth streets, but
not enough to defeat the Improvement.
Between Ninth and Twentieth Is a sep
arate Improvement from the part between
Water and Seventh, which he hopes to
have filled with solid earth to tne grade
On the petition In his possession arc the
signatures of many of the property-own
ers interested, and there arc prospects
that the fill will be made.

MEET IX PORTLAND AFTER
FOURTEEN YEARS.
A. O. Wallin. Master of tho Dur
bridge, Surprises A. X. Rnhni,
of Hood River.
After 14 years' separation, A. O.
WTallin, of South Africa, and A. N.
Rahm, of Hood River, two friends who
came to Portland from Sweden in the
years gone by, hold a stnalj. reunion at
the Perkins yesteraay morning.
Mr. Wallln Is the officer In charge of
the ship Durbrige, which reached the
city yesterday, while his friend Ib
frultraiser at Hood River. Fourteen
years ago the two men came to Port
land direct from Sweden and began tfi
seek their fortunes. Both had been
seamen beforo reaching the city, and
it was but a short time until the -call
of the waves grew too strong for Mr.
Wallin, and he shipped out from As
torla and around the Horn to Europe
Since that time he has not been heard
of by his friend left behind until yes
terday.
Mr. Rahm lived in Portland and the
nearby district until about three years
ago, when he went back for a year
visit to his old home in Sweden. Re
turning, he took up his residence at
Hood River.
Mr. "Wallin, at the end of his Euro
pean cruise, sailed again, and since
that time has seen many lands and
undergone many experiences. Ho was
in Sputh Africa during the Boer War,
and still calls that place his home. Af
ter the war he again took to the sea,
and at last, coming to command The
Durbrige, came again to Portland anu
planned a surprise on his friend whom
he had not seen for so long. Circum
stances arose, however, which pre
vented his going to Hood River, and
he therefore wrote to Mr. Rahm. ask
ing him if he wished to meet an old
countryman to come to the Perkins to
day. This was done, and not until he
reached the hotel did the Hood River
man" know the identity of the one -ho
was coming to meet.
Both of the men are planning many
minor reunions during the coming
week, the time It is expected the Dur
brige is to remain in port.

HOLD VARIED VIEWS I
Speech of Chinese Minister
Revives Discussion.
CHANGE IN LAWS OPPOSED
Labor Leaders Think They See Sub
terfuge in Suggestion for Mod
ification of Exclusion Act
of the United States.
The speech of the Chinese Minister to
Washington. Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng,
delivered at a banquet given In his honor
by the Chicago Merchants' Club, Saturday
night. In which he advocated the modifica
tion of the present Chinese exclusion laws
of the United States to such an extent
that all Chinese except those of the coolie
class should be permitted to enter this
country, as Is the case with European
immigrants, has aroused much discussion.
The remarks of the Chinese Minister are
of direct Interest to the people of Portland
and the Pacific Coast. Local business
men are In favor of moderation of the
present exclusion laws to favor the ad
mission of the merchant classes of Orl
entals. but are generally opposed to the
admission of coolies or the laboring
classes.
When interviewed on the subject of the
Chinese Minister's speech, several of the
local business men stated their views as
follows:
Henry Hahn: "I think that as far as
the position taken by Minister Chen Tung
Liang Cheng is concerned, he is Justified
In urging that his country be given fair
play In the matter of Immigration restric
tion laws, and that the merchants should
be permitted to enter without protest. Our
Chinese exclusion laws have been wofully
misconstrued, for in some places, especial
ly San Francisco, the better element of
Orientals have beon subjected to treat
ment that Is nothing short of brutal. I
believe that they are entitled tofthe same
recognition extended to other national
itlcs."
Frank A. Spencer, of the Allen & Lewis
Company: "I am In accord with the sent!
ments expressed by the Minister, for. as
a business man of a seaport town, I do
not agree with the present system, and
think that too much discrimination Is
3hown. .The law Is all right insofar as it
excludes the coolies, but the better classes
are entitled to consideration."
Adolphe Wolfe, of Lipman. Wolfe & Co
It presents a serious problem, and I
have not thoroughly studied the text of
the article, but I like the spirit of the
Minister's talk, and am in favor of ad
mltting the better classes of Chinese. I
believe the actual Intent of our present
law was for the exclusion of the coolies,
or cheap laboring class."
A. H. Devers: "I have not read the
article completely, but I would like to see
the law modified as far as the merchant
classes are concerned, but under no cir
cumstances should the barriers against
the coolies be lowered."
Other merchants expressed their views
In the same strain. .
Labor leaders differ with the business
men, for the sentiment seems to prevail
in labor circles that this agitation in
favor of lifting the barriers In certain in
stances is merely a subterfuge for the
admission of hordes of Orientals, who are
a menace to the labor Interest.
H. G. Parsons, vice-president of the Ore
gon State Federation of Labor, said: "I
did not thoroughly digest the speech, but
irom what i gleaned from It I cannot
agree with the Minister, for it seems to
mo that his argument is a plea for the
admission of certain classes that would
prove objectionable, as it would ncrmlt
certain classes to enter under the guise
oi mercnants. wnicn would work an in
Justice to the workingmen of this coun
try."
Joseph H. Jones, vice-president of the
local Federated Trades Council, said:
"Without going into an extensive analy
sis or tne article. 1 would say that. If
there Is one proposition before the Amer
lean people that organized labor Is a unit
upon, it Is the one of Chinese exclusion.
We are unalterably opposed to any change
which would open wider the American
door. Tis true the Chinese are being dis
criminated against. This can be oasllv
remedied by excluding other foreigners
who arc Just as much of a menace to
labor as the Chinese. Prevention Is bet
ter than cure, and the slogan. The Chi
nese must not come," of 1J05 must not
give place to 'The Chinese must go" In
1310.
"Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng would, at
jeasi, nice to nave the privilege extended
to bankers, lawyers, dentists, etc Very
nnc, inaeed; inree months' tuition would
be sufficient to enable any ordinary Chi
nese to find a suitable refuge In one of
tne various classes. In fact, the nrofea
slons over in China would become so over
crowded that it would take an endless
chain of steamers running to Portland
and San Francisco to relieve the strain.
W. H. Fitxgcrald. secretary of the Fed
crate Trades, said:
organized labor has no confidence In
the agitation going on to let down the
barriers to certain classes of Chinese. We
believe the movement has originated with
those who are seeking cheap labor, and If
the present exclusion laws are modified it
will only be an entering wedge for further
relaxation of the restriction. '

words of that optimistic creature, the
press agents "There are no dull moments.
Capacity houses saw the initial perform
ances yesterday.- That word "capacity."
by the way, is sadly overworked these fine
days; but when a theater is tilled to tne

the whole story? Two delightful little
musical farces, with vaudeville odds and

The first, "Mixed. Muddled and Fixed."
concerns the troubles of a bean factory
proprietor and his divorced wife. Delight
ful musical hits are Interspersed liberally.
The principals have good voices, and tho

fun and nonsense move rapidly.
Regarding the vaudeville features. 'Tne
Two Ashtons" are worthyof special men
tion. They enter "under the unromantic
head of "Jugglers," but. aside from giving
a remarkable exhibition of club-swinging
and Juggling, they deal out fun In over
whelming quantities. Rose Jcanettc, slng-

Can Enforce Vaccination.
City Superintendent of Schools RIgler
stated last night that the opinion of At
torney-General Crawford with reference
to the authority of the State Board of
Health to require children to be vaccina t
cd before gaining admission to the public
schools, had no bearing whatever upon
the right of the Cltyi School Board to en
force vaccination In the local schools. Ac
cording to Mr. RIgler. the opinion of the
Attorney-General affects only the author
ity of the State Board of Health. Cora
pulsory vaccination In all public schools
Is governed by a state law, he says.
which permits" local school boards to
make rules and regulations upon the sub
ject.
"The City Board of Education." said
Mr. RIgler, "can make exceptions to the
rule of compulsory vaccination upon the
recommendation of family physicians
showing a scrofulous condition of th
pupil, by reason of poor health, or from
any cause where it might have a ten
dency to cause Injury.'

kind of reception ''Hooligan's Toubles"
met with upon its Initial appearance at
the Empire Theater last night. There
was the crowded house and the laughing.
They were laughing when the curtain
went down and possibly some of them are
et giving an occasional chuckle as some
witticisms is recalled.
"Happy Hooligan" Is a comedy or farce
which depends, for much of Its action,
upon the troubles, of one "Happy Hooli
gan," of the comic supplement type. His
troubles range from fasting to loveslck
ncss. Ah elderly spinster with a lovable
niece refuses to let the girl marry until
she, herself, has found -a husband. A
plotting old guardian Is after the girl for
her money. In order to put the spinster
out of the way, he Introduces Hooligan as
titled Englishman. As planned, the
spinster passes her young heart to his
htblets. the supposed nobleman. The
schemer then finds It Is the spinster who
has the coin and starts after her. but
Hooligan has made the most of his oppor
tunity, and wins out. He is about to elope
in the last act with the spinster and her
money when he loses his clothes, and the
delay in finding a barrel gives his rival
time to win the susceptible old maid away
from him. Billy Ward, who fills -the
Hooligan role succeeds in keeping the
merriment agoing for his audience.
There are several others that do quite
as mucn m supplying diversion, notably
W. A. Mack, as Walker Wiilbe. the brazen
Insurance agent; Frank Mahoney, ' the
wordy policeman; Rosetta Cook, the spin
ster who is anxious to marry, and Mattle
Fitzgerald, as her majesty, the cook.
Grace Aylesworth Is very charming as
Rosetta Cook's marriageable niece, and
the three little dancing girls. Myrtle.
Blancho and Nellie GUden, were prime fa
voritcs throughout.
The three acta of the farce are Inter
spersed with lively specialty acts. These
Include banjo solos, trick bicycle riding.
novelty clog dancing, singing and mono

troupe. "Hooligan's Troubles" will be
shown all this week.
ALASKA CONGRESS SLATE
Ryan Expects to Be Elected Con
gresslonal Commercial Delegate.
SEATTLE. Nov. 12. (Special.) This Is
the programme that has been prepared
for the Alaska Congress, or conference,
which Is to be held here this week, be
ginning Wednesday:
An Indorsement of a territorial form of
government for the district, the adoption
of resolutions condemning Governor
Brady and Indorsing Colonel W T. Per
kins as his successor, a demand for i
system of better roads, the election of
Richard Ryan, of Nome, for Congression
al commercial delegate.
uespue tne ract mat ins friends say
he wants It and have worked for his
election. Judge James WIckersham has
announced that he will not be a candidate
for election as Congressional Delegate.
That was Interpreted by Ryan as throw
ing the field open, and he claims now to
possess the pledges of enough delegates
to elect him.
The fight against Governor Brady
merely the continuation of an old strug
gle. There Is opposition to the present
Governor, not only because of dlssatlsfac
tlon regarding his theories, but because
many of the leading spirits In the dls
trlct believe he ha? been too long In the
office and Identified with one section to
represent all of Alaska.
Though Nome Is the newest and one o
the richest of the Alaska camps, the del
cgajtcs from the Seward Peninsula allege
that he has not been there for five years.
They charge him with confining his at
tention to Sitka and near-by points. The
candidacy of Wr. T. Perkins is Inspired
from Seward Peninsula, for he Is a Noma
man.
There Is likely to be a sharp fight over
a resolution declaring for a territorial
form of government. A canvass of the
delegates in town shows a drift of senti
ment in favor of a territorial government.
The Alaska prcs3 Is veering around to
ward that ground, changing its old atti
tude of opposition.
Skagway and Juneau are demanding
that future conventions, as well as ses
sion? of the grand camp of the Arctic
Brotherhood, be held In Alaska. For
Nome or Seward Peninsula men to go to
a Southeastern Alaska city would neces
sitate a trip to Seattle and a transfer to
another boat reaching that part of the
district. For that reason they are fight
ing for meetings here. The Yukon dele
gates are not so much interested .In the
matter.

The electric heating device most commonly
used today is the electric 'laundry or smoothing"
There are many reasons for this econ
of time and labor, convenience and com
to the user, and freedom from all fire,
danger and odor. The electric iron Is
ecnorolcal because the heat is concen
trated right where It Is needed, and all of it Is
utilized. It is possible to do more work be
cause the heat Is constant, and no time need be
lost In changing iron, or In working with a
cold one.
