Remarkable in every way has been the growth of Portland Lodge. No. 142. B. P. O. E. Wonderful achievement has been THE largest card party of the year was held last evening In the Scot tish Rite Cathedral, and it proved to be as well a social and financial suc cess for the ladles of the Patton Home Association, under whose auspices it was given. About SW persons enjoyed their favorite same of cards whist, bridge and five hundred. To scat this numerous company, and to serve refreshments without accident where ovcry available square foot of space was occupied, called for a goodly exercise of executive man agement, and the ladles in charge of the affair, under the able lead of Mrs Theodorc Nicola, deserve unstinted praise for the smoothness with which everything was carried out. The ladies who formed a receiving line to greet guests as thoy came In were: Mrs. Theodore Nlcolai. Mrs. A. H. Wll lett. Mrs. Wesley Ladd. Mrs. James Laldlaw, Mrs. A. Ncppach. Mrs. D. H. Rand and Mrs. J. P. O'Brien. Tho ladies in charge of seating the players were: Mrs. Richard Martin. Jr.. Mrs. A. Sher man. Mrs. John Burgard. Mrs. D. Mc Lauchlan. Mrs. F. A. Daly, Mrs. J. E. Povey. Mrs. George W. HoyL. Mrs. Alice Shannon, Mrs. II. W. Goddard, Mrs. L. G. Clarke. Mrs. J. L. Rurascy and Mrs. Robert Lutkc. Each of these ladies had charge of a section of the big hall and had arranged the tables In advance with the names of players thereon. This sys tem proved very satisfactory. Five hun dred was the most popular game, there being about four tables for this game to one for whist. Only three tables for bridge were formed, these being by Mrs. Laldlaw. Mrs. Clarence Scwell and Mrs. Frank Freeman. There were numerous parties, among these being the following: Good Luck Club, five tables; Mrs. Alice Shannon, eight tables; Mrs. Robert Lutkc. ten ta bles: Mrs. O. M.

In" fact. 17 years has witnessed the evolution of a band of 40 Elks without a definite homo or funds into one of the powerful lodges of the West. There are 10CO members on the roster today, and applications for membership arc handed to the secretary dally. The roster Includes hundreds of representative and Influential citizens, united in furtherance of the cause of char ity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity. The organization of the lodge dates back to 1SSS. On the afternoon of November 3 of that year about SO prospective Elks got together In Turner Hall. With them was W. C Turner, organizer sent up by the San Francisco. lodge. Not until night was the membership rolls, opened. Most of those who signed were of the theat rical profession. During the first part of its career the lodge was not rceclvcd with the serious respect Jt Is now accorded on every hand. At the first election of officers George River was chosen exalted ruler; Ward S. Stevens, esteemed leading knight; Dr. C. W. Cornelius, esteemed lecturing knight; Charles Sliter. esteemed loyal knight; Louis Dammasch. secretary: C. B. Farle man. treasurer: Elmer Quimby, tyler. Within a couple of weeks quarters were secured In the Knights of Pythias Hall, and here the infant lodge spent its first year, attaining a membership of 203 dur ing this period. Another six months and more suitable quarters In the Red Men's Hall were secured, and here the lodge spent the next four years. From here the lodged moved to the Marquam build ing, obtaining the use of the entire top floor. The membership at this time was 4E0. and the lodge was now established on a firm footing, with fine prospects for the future. It was not long before the Idea, of a great new Elks' temple presented itself. The principal obstacle to be over come was a lack of sufficient funds for purchasing a site and constructing the building. The first notable enterprise for railing funds was the street carnival of 1SSS. The festivities extended over 14 days, and w-rc a tremendous succcs3. both as an amusement feature and from a financial standpoint. Something like 2,0 was raised on this occasion. Two years later the club took a similar enterprise off the hands of the Multnomah Club, which had Inaugurated It, and again realized a good profit. Six years ago the building site was bought for about J3,0:0. A j'car ago plarv for the Elks' temple were an Mrs. J. D. Abbott, Mr. and Mrs. II. II. Kerr, Mrs. McNutt. Mrs. W. N. Jones. Mrs. W. VL Prudhommc, Mrs. La Rowe, Mrs. J. W. Sutton, Mrs. R. P. Graham, Mrs. A. R. Draper, one table each. Many handsome gowns were seen, those of the receiving ladies being perhaps the most noteworthy. These were as fol lows: Mrs. Nlcolai. light gray silk, with very handsome silk embroidery to match and lavender chiffon scarf; Mrs. Wlelctt. black chiffon, with white lace insets; Mrs. Wesley Ladd. couvrc-rouge silk, with white lace: Mrs. Laldlaw. cream lace; Mrs. Ncppach, black silk and lace; Mrs. Rand, white, with trimmings of blue silk and handsome rope of pearls; Mrs. O'Brien, tan crepc.

Convention Approves ISoosevclt's Forestry Policy and Alsb Urges Reciprocity. DENVER, Feb. L Railroad legislation was the first subject discussed at today's session of the American National Live stock Association's Convention. S. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Tex., made the principal address. Mr. Cowan's topic was "Regulation of Railway Rates and Charges." In opening he said: We are starting to build up in this country a great feudal system, the like of which has never been seen by the power of wealth." He said he was not opposed to wealth, but it was necessary to control Its power. Referring to the Hepburn bill. he said: "If the railroads can defeat this meas ure, that will be the darkest day of their lives, because it means a power which must not exist. This does not mean we will not give them Justice. That they shall have." After Mr. Cowan closed. President Mac kenzie announced that the report of fric tion between the sheepmen and cattle men was untrue. The National Wool growers wished to retain their organiza tion, but ther were heartily In accord with the cattle men and there was abso lutely no friction. Edward T. Tildcn, of the National Packing Company, was introduced and made a short talk. J. M. Boardman. of Helena. Mont., was unanimously elected second vice-president of tho organization. The executive committee, to which has been assigned the work of .drafting reso lutions, reported resolutions Indorsing the Hepburn rate bill now under discus sion In the. House of Representatives and urging Representatives and Senators to support this measure, "to the end that the duty which the Government owes to its citizens to protect them against un just, unreasonable or discriminatory rates, regulations and practices of the great railroads of this country will be performed by a competent and expert body of men. without leaving it to the hopeless task of litigation." The resolutions "further commend and indorse the President ot the United States in his untiring efforts in behalf of the people, to secure such legislation." The resolutions were adopted. Other resolutions reported by the Ex ecutive Committee and adopted demand an extension of the time In which cattle may be held In cars in transit without unloading from 2S to 36 hours and thank Secretary of Agriculture Wilson for ad vocating such an extension; denounce ex cessive commission charges at Missouri River and other points; favor reciprocity in accordance with section four of tho Dinglcy Act: oppose the pure food bill now before Congress In Its present form; pledge support to agricultural colleges; request a liberal appropriation for tho Bureau of Animal Industry; commend the general course of President Roosevelt and rcpucst Congress to unhold him. Frank J. Hagenbarth, of Salt Lake, in troduced a. resolution which was passed without question. Thoi resolution was based on the message sent by President Roosevelt in regard to forest reserves and pledges the support. of, the organization to tho plan of tho- President. After selecting 'Denver as the next meeting place, the convention adjourned sine die. AGAINST ALL FOREIGNERS Chinese Boycott Causes Fear of .Re newed Boxer Outbreak'. - VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 1. Advices re ceived by the Empress of China yester day tell of fears of an anti-foreign rising in China. A Pekln dispatch says wide spread feeling in Chekiang cannot longer be ignored and the foreign consuls at Shanghai are afraid of growing ant! foreign tendencies. " Applications for the 'suppression of the rioters are twlng raadeby the Pekln legations, but the Chinese authorities appear indifferent and have taken no steps other than to issue a formal notice to the Provincial Governors to quell the rising. A rising In the Yangtso valley is also feared. Meanwhile the Chinese officials are ap proaching the foreign ministers, with re gard to the evacuation of China by for eign troops. The Chinese army, they say, has been greatly Improved and can fully cope with any rising. ' Japan is firmly objecting to evacuation. A writer In a Shanghai paper says Chinese reformers and patriots have an Idea tho only way to overthrow the pres ent dynasty Is to start another such anti forelgn disturbance as that of 1S0O, be lieving the foreign countries would then depose the present rulers. The writer be lieves all anti-foreign feeling has the hearty sympathy of those in .official posi tions. The boycott la not altogether an anti American movement, it is thoroughly anti-foreign. The Tokio Asahi says that whereas Brit ain wishes to retain Wel-Hai-Wel. the Chinese Government is endeavoring to cancel the lease with the intention of using the place for a Chinese, naval station.
