WOULD FORM LODGE Colored Men Plan to Organize, Dubbing Themselves Elks. CALL NEW ORDER I. B. 0. E. Organizer Comes This Week to Admit Fifty to Membership Real Elks Are Somewhat Annoyed ' Over Prospect. Portland Elks are somewhat annoyed since they bave learned that there is a movement on foot to form a local 1. B. O. E. lodge. About 5 J young colored men have .agreed to become members of the "Elks" lodge that is being organized, and declare that they can already feel the spirit of Elkdom working in their blood. Waiters, Pullman car porters and the other aristocrats of the colored popu lation are the ones who are longing to become Elks. It may not be long be f 01 e tr.ey will be boasting buttons show ing elks' heads and wearing elks' teeth dangling from their watch chains. There are approximately 500 lodges of colored Elks In the United States. Thy are In no way affiliated with the B. P. O. E. The colored Elks call their order the I. B. O. E. The lodge in Chi cago has nearly 1000 members and owns its own building. Salt Lake, Denver and some of the other cities of tne West have their colored Elks and the colored "sports" of Portland declare that this city is behind the times and the are anxious to do what they can to make 11 up-to-date. Sam Washington Is directly respon sible for the agitation. Washington has been running In and out of Port land on sleeping cars for about 16 years ar.d anyone who has traveled much In u.e Northwest knows him. He had the reputation of perhaps being the most popular porter who ever ran into this .lty. But Sam has social aspirations and no small amount of ambition. He is b. humanitarian In a way and works to upUfl the social standard of his race. Six months ago he resigned his job as a poiter and opened up a saloon here. This thirst parlor has considerable tone and is patronized almost exclusively by tne "bloods." All the "railroaders." as the porters call themselves, make their headquarters at The Alpha, where It is said It is not uncommon for cham pagne to be opened. Sam hap done so well with his dis pensary he would be insulted if any one called It a saloon or a jolnt and having demonstrated that there is a large coterie of high-class colored peo ple in Portland he believes the time is ripe for colored Elks. After the Elks get on. their feet a Barlington Club or a College Club may be formed In the persistent and persevering tight of the " bloods" for stocial elevation and recog nition. When seen yesterday Mr. Washington modestly admitted that he had started to form an Elks' lodge. He casually remarned that he believed that Port land is destined to become a great city and that he thought its colored popula tion ought to put its shoulder to the wheel and help make it great. While he said fine buildings are alright enough, he believes the greatness of any city lies In lis people. Eelieving this, he thinks that an order of Elks for his brothers Is a right step in the direction of a Greater Portland. Mr. Washington was asked what the letters I. B. O. E. stand for. He was puzzled and excused himself to hots secret conversation with a half a dozeir of his friends, who were standing near by. They looked rather embar rassed also. Mr. Washington cam9 back with the information that he could not make public the meaning of I. B. O. E. other than it stood for Elks. He said it was a secret and very astutely stated that while It pained him to with hold the information, he was sworn to secrecy. It appeared very much as though the local orgrmizer himself did not know what I. B. O. E. meant. In organizing he probably overlooked the minor point of learning the full name of the lodge. His fellow associates are also said to be in the dark In more ways than one. But John Carson, of St. Paul, organizer, will be In Portland this week and ho will probably clear the mist which now hangs over I. B. O. E. It is thought that it stands for Independent Brotherhood of Elks, but Mr. Washington and other colored men who will soon be Elks evi dently are not disposed to take a chance in Its Interpretation.

Councilman Rushlight Will Have Strong Backing in Demanding Opening of East Ninth. Councilman Rushlight, backed by the property owners of the Brooklyn dis- r trict on the East Side, will make a fight against delay in the improvement of East Ninth street across the Ladd field. He was not present at the meet ing of the Street Committee when the matter was under consideration, or he would have been heard from, he says, when It was suggested that the Improve ment be stopped, or even delayed. Prop erty owners on East Ninth street south of Ellsworth have just paid out over 'i00 for' the Improvement of that street, and think It should be extended across the Iadd field. They say that they will in sist on this Improvement as just to them and that whole district. 0 A delegation of property owners from Brooklyn will be present at the meeting of the council Wednesday and protest against any delay in improving East Ninth street through the Ladd tract, that has grown valuable for the reason that they have improved streets and property all around it. " L. S. Daue. president ft the .Brooklyn Republican-Improvement Club, said last evening that he strongly indorsed the plan to protest against suspending Im provement through the Ladd tract, and will assist In forming a delegation to at tend the council Wednesday. - ments. The organization comprises mostly the progressive young mn of that thriving suburb, who usually make a success of whatever they undertake. Sellwood has an establishment for the manufacture of wood alcohol, gas and electric machines, a wood pulley, tan nery, and December 1 the new woolen mills will start up. The Methcxst and Baptist Churches are nearing comple tion. They will cost $5000 each. The Baptist Church will be dedicated the latter part of the month. BUT HE STILL LOVES HER BUILDING AT SELLWOOD First Brick Block Is Being Erected in Thriving Suburb. At Sellwood the first brick building is under way on the corner of East Thir teenth street and Tacoma avenue. It will be a two-story structure with a full basement and will cost $8000. Excava tions for the basement have been com pleted. William Strahlman has the honor of erecting the first brlok structure in that part of Portland. It is understood that one of the rooms of the first floor will house the new bank soon to be started in Sellwood. E. M. Donaugh. who owns the south west ' corner of East Thirteenth street and Union avenue, announces that he will put up on this- corner a rrnodern brick structure covering the whole quar ter, work to start In the Spring. Th Sellwood Branch T. M. C. A. has se cured a lot on Umatilla avenue, and In time will put up a two-story building, which will contain a 'gymnasium, shower baths, library, reception and other apart- C. F. Sntton Tells Where His Wife Is to Blame for Trouble. Charles F. Sutton, the Lents barber, who is confined in the County Jail on ac count of Inability to furnish bonds to keep the peace of his wife, and who was recently sued for divorce by her, has written a letter to The Oregonlan con cerning his grievances. In this commu nication Sutton attributes! most of his troubles to his wife's penchant for neg lecting their home, as well as a fondness for frequenting popular resorts, and de clares that he had refrained from in dulgence in Intoxicating liquors for seven months up to the time the discovery of his wife's actions prompted him to resort to strong drink to deaden his grief. ' Sutton also lays considerable blame for his domestic infelicity on his wife's rela tives, and states in his letter that he never had any trouble with his wife until her folks' came here three years ago. He says they are bitterly opposed to liquor, for which he does not blame them, but insists that they carried their temper ance Ideas too far. with the result that their constant interference In his domes tic affairs led him to Indulge worse than ever. A vigorous denial Is made of hts wife's charge of cruelty in her complaint, it being averred that on the witness stand, at the time the proceedings were being held in court to compel Sutton to keep the peace of his wife, she had testified that he had never struck her. He also declares that since his incar ceration his wife and father-in-law have had their home transferred from him, and that "after trampling upon a heart that loves her still, she has crushed it in her hands to a bleeding pulp and cast it into prison." A Certain Care for Croup 1,'scd for Ten Tear Without Failure. Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City. Ind.. hard ware merchant. Is enthusiastic In his praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. His children have all been subject to croup and he has used this remedy for the past ten years, and though they much feared the croup, his wife and he always felt safe upon retiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was in the house. His oldest child was subject to severe attacks of croup, but this remedy never failed to effect a speedy cure. He has recommended It to friends and neigh bors and au who have used it say that It is unequaled for oroup and whooping cough. For sals by all druggists. ST. JGHNS HILL ASSURED CHARLES WEYERHAErSER COM . IXG HERE TO LIVE. Big Timber Syndicate Preparing to Begin Operation in This Sec tion on Large Scale. Ch2rle Weyerhasufer. son of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, the timber king, will come to Portland next Spring to reside perma nently. This fat is accepted by local lumbermen as conclusive evidence that the Weyerhaeuser syndicate will shortly erect the long-talked-of sawmill on Its site near St. Johns. It is known that Charles Weyerhaeuser has an option on one of the finest residences In Portland, and he and his family are making prepa rations to leave St.' Paul to become resi dents of the Roee City. The Interests of the syndicate have been growing larger and larger each year, and have become so extensive as to warrant one of -the heads of the.glgantlc corpora tion giving his exclusive time to this field. It is also understood that the syn dicate is making preparations to begin cutting in the Northwest on a large scale and it Is generally believed that It Is only a matter of a few months before work on the sawmill at St. Johns will be started. It is an open secret that the Weyer haeusers long have Intended to build at St. Johns a sawmill that will be one of the largest, if not the largest,-mills on the Pacific Coast. The sum to be ex pended on the mill alone will be Sl.000.000 or more. Members of the syndicate have never denied that they will erect a saw mill at St. Johns, and have stated that they have been holding the 6ite there for that purpose. J. P. Weyerhaeuser, the eldest son of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, is now a guest at the Hotel Portland. He Is traveling alone and Is enroute to Idaho, where he personally has large Interests. He Is as sociated with his father, and besides has many large timber holdings of his own. His health is not good at present. He will leave tonight or tomorrow for Boise. Charles Weyerhaeuser, who will come to Portland to live. Is slated to succeed his father at the head of the syndicate He is possessed of more than ordinary business ability and much of the care and responsibility of managing the business of the syndicate has already fallen upon him. a knowledge of Socialism, that he should tako a course of study in Socialist lit erature and without going back to the old writers and text-books.

Landlijrds were out of place at the Peo ple's Forum last night when the land question was argued pro and con by speakers who took part in the general discussion. Half a dozen speakers poured hot shot Into the persons who make them selves felt when the first of the month rolls round. Mrs Abigail Scott Duniway was the lone champion of the much-abused land lord, and she only stood up for the widow who Is dependent upon the rent derived from her holdings. Taken, all In all. the discussion was Interesting, and If there were landlords present last night they undoubtedly enjoyed it as much as any body. C. E. S. Wood was the principal speaker. He pointed out the danger of centraliza tion of power, whether In private Individ uals or in the government. While he ex pressed the highest admiration and re gard for President Roosevelt, he stated that the President was making a grave mistake In allowing the National Govern ment too much power over the public do main. "Centralization of power means tyranny under any system," he declared. "We know that any good man who attempts reform and gains the confidence of the people is able to establish precedents that may be used later on by a tyrant to en slave the people. "Because of the popularity of President Roosevelt, we are falling all over our selves to make this -ery mistake. Our lands are to be managed by bureaus at "Washington. While apparently all right now, the evil Is sure to crop out. The fundamental principles of liberty have been violated, and when we haven't a good man at the helm of the ship of state, big, grafting plutocrats will own and control these bureaus at Washing ton.' The attendance at the meetings of the People's Forum is constantly increasing. The meetings are held every Sunday night at the Selllg-Hlrsch Hall. Last night C. C Chapman presided, in the absence of E. S J. McAllister, the president. Killed by Falling Log. SUMPTER. Or., Nov. 4. (Special.)
