M. C. A. and T. W. C. A. building to end In failure? Will Portland restrict its liber ality in this Instance and refuse to give the additional $150,000 needed to complete the building- fund of $350,000? These questions naturally presented themselves to the workers at association headquarters last evening after one of the least successful days of the entire can vass and the day marked the opening of the final week for securing the money. The committee workers have been opti mistic in their views from the first, nor had they lost their optimism last evening. Nevertheless there was foundation for just a shade of doubt inasmuch as the Y. S. C7 A. -t. W. C. A. Clock Hand Regis ters at $101,561.85. whole day netted only a trifle more than $6000. To have measured up to its propor tion as one of the remaining six days, no less than $28,000 should have been taken in. The one large subscription was that of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe for $1260. It is not surprising that there was more than a little disappointment at headquar ters last evening, for the fault was the public's and not of those directing the campaign. Fully 100 workers were in the field from early morning until late at night. There were more people out and they did harder work than any day pre vious. Just why the response was not more liberal is difficult to say, since the public is an enigma of which even philosophers have long since ceased attempting to solve. Have Not Lost Hope. However, that perpetual hope, which the poets spend more or less of their valuable time , writing about, still burned brightly In the breasts of the association workers last evening. So long as there is a single 'tomorrow' left them they will hope for success. There have been just 25 of these whirlwind campaigns in the last year here in America. Money has been raised In every one of them, from the little rural settlements where the farmers subscribed part of the proceeds from the pumpkin crop on up to the great cities where there are enough rich men to quell the uprising in Cuba. Hence it is not believed that Portland will do less. The workers say they do not believe the city that held a successful World's Fair one year will refuse to put up $350,000 the next in a cause which makes the amount of money invested seem paltry. There are rive more working days to come, counting today. Saturday night the campaign ends. If there is not $350,000 at hand by that time, it is urged that the many hundreds of boys and men and girls and women who rely upon the associa tions to provide them with a wholesome environment and rill in the gaps in their educations, will have to continue in cramped quarters. The young man who wishes to improve his circumstances by education along practical lines may con tinue to work up among the rafters or down under the sidewalk of the old Y. M.. C. A, building, outgrown four years ago. Classroom Badly Needed. Growth may be provided for by shorten ing the class1 hours and thus adding to the difficulties of those who are seeking Improvement; or possibly desks can be suspended from the ceilings of the over crowded classrooms. The roof too, might be put to use, it Is asserted, and small classes could be accommodated on the fire escapes. Thus, with such fine alter natives at hand, it may be argued that a new double building costing $350,000 is only .a luxury after all. Complaint is heard among the workers that a great handicap is placed upon the work by the fact that no inconsiderable part of Portland's wealth is tied up in estates. It is stated that while these es tates share in the prosperity of the city and are continually enhancing in value. It Is difficult, next to Impossible, to se cure support from them for the estab lished Institutions of society, such as the Y. M. C. "A. and Y. W. C. A. The workers say that those who should give largely plead that their money is in these es tates and that they "cannot do any thing." The thing that is needed at this time to save the day Is large subscriptions and at least two $25,000 subscriptions and several in "the $5000 class are expected to develop, possibly today. Negotiations for these large donations are already pend ing. At the conclusion of the campaign a complete list of subscribers will be given out for publication. Will Meet at Luncheon. All who have been interested in the work of raising funds are expected to be on hand today at noon luncheon. At this time the situation will be taken up and discussed at length and suggestions bearing on the work will be received. The luncheon hour is 12:10 P. M. In the Y. M. C. A. dining hall. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock P. M. a benefit musical will he given for the fund at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Gray, 716 Thomp son street.

GIVB OXE - DAY'S RECEIPTS This Firm Makes Suggestion to Street Railway Company. PORTLAND, Ore., October 1. (To the Editor.) Your suggestion that people who had money to burn in playing slot machines donate at least one day's burning' to the fund for building the proposed Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. is in our opinion -a timely suggestion ' and one that meets universal Indorsement. This suggestion of yours also opens the way for other suggestions. We will suggest that we all that is all ' who have the least interest in the welfare of the young women and the young men of Portland donate one day's Income to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The street car company may have tho honor of setting the pace if they choose. We will follow any lead that they map out, and will also give two days of our income to each one that they give. We would suggest that the street car company give the total re ceipts of fares paid for one day, the day to be selected by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. committee: that if necessary tho committee provide lady fare col lectors for that day and the company keep their conductors on the runs to do the usual duties of a conductor, ex cept collect fares. This has been done by etreet car companies in other cities for various causes and we see no reason why the Portland street car company can object to donating one day's re ceipts to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. fund, especially when their patronage is from all the people of Portland. Should they give one day's receipts the citizens of Portland are the benefactors and the company in return benefited. Not only the street car company could give one day's receipts to the cause, but many other concerns who are making a fortune out of public patron age could well afford to give one day towards this enterprise. We will agree to give our entire cash receipts for any two days that the com mittee mav select between now and October 8, 1906, to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. fund, providing the street car com pany will give one day's receipts to the fund. We have over 'five hundred farms, ranches, city and suburban residences to pick from, and If they are all bought on the day selected by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. committee we will sur render every cent of commission that we receive on them. Now if the street car company hasn't the home pride to follow suit or set another-pace let some other enterprising firm say something, and we will all walk home, and to work for two days, or two weeks. GORRELL & KIRKPATRICK. WILL BUILD ELECTRIC LINE WASHOTTGAL MINING COMPANY TO HAUL ITS OWN ORE. ' Road to Get Power From Streams ' Along Right of Way Will Build Smelter Near Portland. Henry Dorsey, Chairman of the Press and Publicity Bureau of the 150.000 Club of Dallas, Texas, was in Portland yes terday, leaving last night for the Sound. He' is interested in the Washougal Gold & Copper Mining Company, which is developing properties on -the Washougal river. Mr. Dorsey is quite enthusiastic over the prospects of the company and says the showing bo far made Is so good that none of the stock is for" sale, but that the owners of the properties will develop them themselves. A long tunnel has been driven on the properties of the Washougal Company and plans are already under way to pro vide means for getting the ore from the mines to a smelter. The owners have mapped out a railroad down the Wash ougal river to the town of Washougal, where the ore will be hauled over the Portland & Seattle Railway to Portland, as it is the plan to erect a smelter near this city. The road down the river from the mines to Washougal. a distance of 16 miles, will be operated by electricity, as there is an abundance of water power available in the river and in nearby creeks. Mr. Dorsey was in Portland with the Texas bankers' excursion, which came in a special Pullman train in JuMe last year. On his present visit he notices a vast Improvement in Portland and is struck with the growth of the. city, es pecially in large business buildings. So much does Mr. Dorsey like Portland and the climate that he eays he expects to make his home here within the next two years. At present he is the head of a large printing business m Dallas. Since he has been the head of the Press and Publicity Bureau of the 150, 000 Club Mr. -Dorsey has performed a notable work for his own city. In send ing out literature and in advertising Dallas he has established a new stand ard for such exploitation work. Under his direction the club has ,jeen spending $30,000 a year for this advertising and says the fund will be increased within a short time to $50,000. which will be distributed each year in the same way. SLASHES TIRES OF AUTO Vandal Damages Machine Left on Linnton Road After Smashup. Lawrence Holman. who was injured in an automobile accident on the Linnton road last Sunday night, Is at the Good Samaritan Hospital, and his condition is greatly improved. His injuries are not so serious and he will be able to leave his bed in a short time. Arthur Seeley, an other victim of the automobile collision, is nursing a sprained ankle, and Harry Litt, who was thrown about 20 feet, with the exception of a few bruises on his head Is perfectly well. Early yesterday morning some vandal visited the wrecked machine belonging to Fred A. Krebs and deliberately slashed the rear tires, cutting through both inner and outer tubes. Not satisfied with this piece of work, the vandal finished the job, literally cutting the top of the vehicle to pieces. This action has been reported to the authorities, and a determined effort Is being made to capture the culprit. The Portland automobile enthusiasts Intend bringing the subject up before the next meeting of the club, when a suitable re ward will probably be offered for the ap prehension of the guilty person, FREE OYSTERS. Giving Oysters Away fop Ten Days. To prove their oyster is superior, to make themselves and telephone known to reach the actual oyster user quickly, and to avoid a house to house canvas, heads of families using oysters are invited to call up East 952 with a view of opening an account, and they will be served one regular order of their Celebrated Bastern or Cultivated Native Oysters without charge. This refers only to residents east of the river, and does not include Sundavs. ROULLEDGE OYSTER CO. filter serious illness Hood's Sarsaparilla Imparts the strength and vigor so much needed. L Moy Back Hin, Local Pioneer Merchant Secures Ap pointment. IS HONORED BY EMPEROR Importance of Rose City In Point of Population and Commerce With Orient Recognized by Im perial Government. In recognition of Portland's large Chi nese population and the Importance of this city's trade relations with China, the appointment of a Chinese consul for Port land has just been made by the imperial government. Moy Back Hin, a resident of Portland for the past 40 years, has been named consul for the states of Ore gon,. Washington, Idaho and Montana, with.Jieadquarters at Portland. The honor came to Moy Back Hin from the Emperor himself through the Chinese minister at Washington. The new consul Is the fourth to be ap pointed to represent the Chinese govern ment in the United States. The other consulates are in San Francisco, where the consul-general resides, Boston and Moy Back Hin, Chinese Consul for Oregon, Washing-ton, Idaho and Montana. New York. New York has only a vice consulate. It has not been the custom of the Chinese government to create con sulates except where the Imperial gov ernment considers it important to do so. The fact that a consul has been named for Portland is evidence that the Chinese gov ernment looks upon this port as one of the most important in the United States with regard to China's commercial In terests. Moy Back Hin rendered efficient aid to his countrymen Immediately after the San Francisco earthquake. He went to San Francisco and assisted materially in re lieving the suffering among unfortunate Chinese who were heavy losers in the disaster. It was in recognition of his good work there that he was made consul at Portland. Moy Back Hin is 55 years old. He was born near Canton, China, and is some thing of a pioneer himself as he came to Portland on the first ship that came here from Canton. This was. more than 40 years ago. He is distinctly a self made man. He commenced business in- Port land 31 years ago as a merchant, and con tractor. He has been very successful and is the owner of a large amount of real property In Portland and conducts a large number of canneries. He is said to be one of the wealthiest Chinese on the Coast. Has Large Business Interests. Hin has several stores in various places in the Northwest, including Portland, Ta coma and Hope, Idaho. He also has in terests at Yokohama, Japan, . and in China. His business career has been one of strict integrity and he enjoys the con fidence of all of both races with whom he has had business relations. His appoint ment as consul is greeted with general satisfaction by Portland residents of his own race and the commercial interests of the city are gratified that such a satis factory appointment has been made. The title of the new representative of the Flowery Kingdom is "Honorary Con sul for Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho." His seal bears tfre words, "Im perial Chinese Honorary Consulate." Portland has a Chinese population of about 4000. From time to time questions come up that could be settled much more satisfactorily if the Chinese government had a representative here, doing away with the necessity of dealing with the consuls elsewhere and through them with the home government. Delays attendant upon the old system will hereafter be eliminated. "I feel very much gratified at my ap pointment as Chinese consul at Portland," said Moy Back Hin yesterday. "The creation of a consulate, at Portland shows the importance that the Chinese govern ment attaches to the commercial and other relations with the United States and especially with Pacific Northwest ports. This matter has been under ad visement for some time. "When the earthquake occurred in San Francisco, the Chinese minister at Wash ington requested me to take charge of HE C0N5U GIN PORTLAND llilifll - 'A - r - i I 3 The laws of nature and heredity are fixed and invariable. Parents who are related by the ties of blood, or who have a consumptive tendency, or family blood taint, are sure to transmit it to their children in the form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, hip disease, pale, waxy complexions, emaciated bodies, running sores and tilcers, and general weak constitutions are the principal ways in which the disease is manifested. Those who have inherited this blighting trouble may succeed in holding it in check during young, vigorous life : but after a spell of sickness, or when the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, the ravages 01 the disease will become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out the scrofulous deposits, kills the germs and completely cures the disease.

The Chinese gov ernment spent a great deal of money in aiding unfortunate Chinese who lost everything as a result of the earth quake and fire. I remained in San Fran cisco for two months and disbursed for the Chinese government a large sum of money. "Having lived in the United States for the past 40 years, I am glad to know that the Chinese government takes such a friendly interest in the United States. The fact is that the action of the United States government during the Boxer troubles has created a warm feeling on the part of the Chinese for the American people. I hope to be able to assist In en couraging this sentiment and feeling be tween the two governments." The new Chinese consul has opened his official residence In his store at 244 Yam hill street. He is a dignified, serious minded man and will do credit to the position just created. MR. PAGET AND LICENSES He Insists That Councilman Mas ters Is Not Doing His Duty. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 1. (To the Edi tor.) I have been somewhat surprised that a remark made in my short address at Saturday evening's Methodist temper ance rally should have proved the occa sion of editorial comment by The .Orego nlan, or even of such marked attention from Councilman Masters; but perhaps I am entitled to a word in rebuttal. I have only the kindest regard for him personally, and have no knowledge what ever from my standpoint of strained re lations, either now or at any time in the past. The arguments advanced to show the inconsistency of the situation cre ated by his attitude of consent to license saloons whilst retaining membership in the Methodist Church have not been suc cessfully controverted. This attempt to shoulder his own re sponsibility upon the law and upon the Council at large is extremely lame in view of the fact that recommendations for all saloon licenses originate in his committee. In his statement he says: "The law gives any citizen the right to conduct a saloon within the city upon the payment of a license." Whilst you state that when certain well-defined conditions are met, "the license committee has no alterna tive but to recommend and the Council to grant a license." Have you not both overlooked the fact that city ordinance No. 10,904 provides that no saloon license shall be given to the violator of a state law? And as all our saloons are open every Sunday, in defiance of such a law, is it not self-evident that every license he recommends and votes for is granted in direct violation of the very laws behind which he runs for shelter? This indictment, of course, reflects upon the other members of the Council, but as far as I am aware Mr. Masters is the only Methodist among them, and in con sequence the only one who by his church affiliation has publicly subscribed to the declaration that "no citizen and no Christian has a. right by example, by voice, by influence or by his ballot to contribute to the establishment or to the maintenance of the ungodly license policy as applied to the liquor traffic." The statement made to the effect that I was instrumental in his recent removal from the board of trustees of Taylor Street Church is purely the creation of an overactive imagination. The facts are that an election was held without previ ous discussion, canvass, or conference. No action could have been more spontaneous. It resulted dn my being one of those who received the highest vote cast, whilst his vote was only nominal. However, I did not take his place, any more than the place of either of the other men who were substituted at the same time. The statement flatters me en tirely too much, as I am not entitled to the slightest share of either the credit or the blame for the change made. B. LEG PAGET.. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.
