the employes of the Portland office are
beginning to be able to "see orer the top

Yesterday all of the carriers made extra
trips and some of them were assisted In
their rounds by special men. Bundles
of packages which weighed the carriers
down and made It necessary for them to
rest every now and then on the begin
nlngs of their Journeys were taken out
on each trip for distribution. The big
wagon was loaded several times and in
the care of two men did much to assist
In reducing the pile of packages waiting
to be delivered.
While the corners are yet full In the
mailing and distributing rooms .and every
train brings added trouble to the hard
working clerks, the stream Is beginning
to dwindle and three days at the farthest
will see the end of Christmas work for
the men In the gray Uniforms.

Important Communications
Refirred to Committees.
SUBCOMMITTEES NAMED
Proposition to Levy Duty on Tea and
Corfee From Foreign Countries to
Benefit Insular Possessions Is
Opposed by HesolHtioa.
The ex ecu tire committee of the Board
of Trade at a special meeting yesterday
afternoon brought its work for 1S0S to a
close by disposing of a large amount of
accumulated, business . and appointing
standing commltfees for the coming year.
Several Important communications were
read and referred. Among other matters
the committee reported the election of
F. E. Reed as assistant secretary of the
Board. Mr. Reed Is a newspaper man
of wide experience, and for some time
oast has been connected with the Board
of Trade Journal, giving him a thorough
grasp of the duties of his new position.
Among the communications receives
was one from tbe Retail Grocers' Asso
ciation calling the attention of the
Board to the nronosed Import tax on tea
and coffee so as to favor American In
sular possessions, and asking the Board's
aid in defeating the scheme. Tne com
munlcatlon sets forth the following reso-
lntlon recently passed by the association:
Where. Certain capitalists wno are inter
filed In the production of coffee In our in
sular possessions sre BiUnr strenuous er-
forU to recure the Imposition of a tax on that
commodity, sod
Whereas. It li tbe ene of this orranlxatlon
that any rich action would not only be detri
mental to tbe trade In general, but in addl.
tlon would impose an nnjunt burden on the
rrrat mass of consumers: -be It
Resolved. That ire earnestly protest acalnit
the pladnr of any tax on either tea or cof
fee, and that a copy of these resolution be
mailed to our Representative In ConrreM. and
further, that the member of thla amoclauoo.
by persona! letters or therwl. urate their
Representative to use every Innuoce to op
pose such action.
The communication was referred to the
committee on commerce and trade rela
tions.
Another communication was from the
chairman of the rural settlements com
mittee of the National Irrigation Asso
ciation, arklng the Board's support of
the nronosed reform of the land laws in
accordance with the report of the Presi
dent's Public Land Commission. The
matter was referred to the committee on
legislation.
A letter was received from F. M. Her-
del. secretory of the Hllisboro Board of
Trade, asking the assistance of the Port
land Board in an endeavor to secure
funds to enable the citizens of Hllisboro
to "make good" on their pledge to fur
nish E. E. Lytic a clear right of way for
railroad to the summit of tbe moun
tains. The right of way will cost be
tween J10.000 an3 : 12.000. and about J3KO
has been subscribed in Hllisboro. In view
of the fact that Portland will be- the
terminus of the road, which will tap a
rich timber belt, while Hllisboro will be
only a way station. Mr. Herd el argues
that half the right of way fund guar
anteed by Hllisboro should be raised
in Portland.
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on promotion.
The committee extended a vote or
thanks to Judge C. H. Carey. In recogni
tion of his -services In Washington, D. C.
as a delegate from the-. Board in behalf

A QUESTION OF COST.
In, any number of stores
you'll see various prepara
tions of cod liver oil at as
many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps, why Scott's
Emulsion costs more than
some other kind in as large
a bottle. Hearing only one
side of the question you may
be led into buying the. "just
as good as Scott's" at the
lower price. That's false
economy. Scott's., Emulsion
costs more because its more
expensive to make. Every
ingredient is tested and guar
anteed of the purest quality.
No adulteration, no shaving
of quality. There's no econ
omy in bargain medicine, li
you can afford to experiment
with your health, substitutes
may satisfy you. We take it,
however, that you want a,
pure preparation, a reliable
remedy and something that's
going to help,, you. That's
what you .get in Scott's
Emulsion. Thirty years "the
standard.

Ml I MEAT INSPECTOR
PORTLAND DEALERS ASK. FOR
THE APPOIXT3IENT.
They Cannot Understand Why Mayor
!Lanc lias Not Acted
Before This.
Portland meat dealers have joined the
public ln Its request to know why the
ordinance providing for meat Inspection
Is not enforced. At a meeting of the
Meat Dealers' Association last night the
secretary. H. F. Joslln. was Instructed to
communicate with Mayor Lane to And
out why an Inspector has not been ap
pointed as the law provides, and to re
quest that action be taken In the matter
at once.
The ob5?ct was- brought before the
meeting by E. H. Decry, "who said that it
would be better for the market men
themselves If the ordinance was strictly
obeyed and a rigid inspection made of
all meats sold. Other speakers expressed
the same views, and all of the dealers
present voted to request Mayor Lane to
appoint an Inspector.
By this action the association went on
record as standing unanimously for the
sale of none but wholesome meats. "If
there are any dealers In the business
who are selling meat that Is not abso
lutely good we want It stopped." one.
speaker said. "We want the public to
know that we are just as anxious as thcy
are for clean markets, and If there Is
any Impression that we are opposed to
Inspection we want it corrected, w e can
not understand why Mayor Lane has not
already appointed an Inspector as the or
dinance provides."
The meeting was the most largely at
tended of any session which the asso
ciation has held. Interest in the work
of the organization I? increasing, and the
constitution and by-laws are being revised
to provide for tne needs of a stronger
union among the dealers of the city.
A number of the wholesale dealers were
.present at the meeting last night for the
first time. These men took no part. How
ever. In the movement for market Inspec
tion, as the goods they handle come un
der the class which Is passed upon by
tbe Government Inspectors.
A discussion also took place upon tne
proposed plan of the dealers to protect
themselves against customer? who are
not In the habit of paying their bills.
The secretary will be furnished the rec
ord of all of the customers at the various
markets, and those who do not pay for
meat bought at one place will find they
are unable to make purchases on credit
at any market in the city. Plans for
this arrangement are now being com
pleted, and will probably be adopted at
the meeting next Tuesday evening. The
grocers of Portland recently adopted a
simitar plan.
