Believing that as much could not be accomplished vltli the same amount of money expend ed in any other publicity enterprise, the Board of Trade has informed the Astoria Chamber of Commerce of Its co-operation in creatine the office of State Geolo gist and establishing a Department of Mines and Mining. The local organiza tion has undertaken for some time to have such a department . maintained by tho state, but has been defeated, princi pally because of the fact that the plan carried with It necessarily a small ap propriation. The regular meeting of the executive committee of the Board of Trade will bo held at 4 o'clock this after noon. Principal among the business to bo considered is that of studying the provisions of the building code -of the National board of lire underwriters with a view of Incorporating its Important provisions in existing ordinances regulat ing building improvements in this city. Appreciation Shown. Rainier. Or.. April a. 19071). Chambers, Portland, Or. Dear Sir: Fourteen months ago I purchased of you a pair of glasses. For five years I had been a constant sufferer from headache. I tried different remedies for my stomach, thinking there was the cause, took enough blood-thinning teas to float a battleship, being told my Wood was too thick. At last a friend told me to consult an optician. I did so, had my yes tested, then fitted and have been free from headache since. At your par lors I received courteous treatment, and you told me the truth about my eyes, as time has shown me. Four other people whom I have sent to you have received the same treatment. Thanking you for your kindness, yours truly. Mrs. W. A. Hodges. Above testimonial came unso licited. Find Exctrsion Promised.

"Portland is building more rapidly than any other city in the north border of states and through out the entire Northwest," commented two wealthy Eastern men, - who spent yesterday in tills city. Turlnflr the after noon they were escorted through, the business and residence districts by Tom Richardson. . manager of the Portland Commercial Club. One of the visitors was a multi-millionaire, but for business reasons neither of the gentlemen would be quoted. They only recently disposed of large interests in the East and. are In search of another location where they will make some large investments. "Our trip to the Pacific Coast has included an Inspection of Denver, Salt Lake. Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma. Not only Is Port land growing more rapidly than any of these cities, but we must compliment your city as a business center. To make Portland unquestionably the prettiest city In the United States you need only better streets. We are particularly impressed with the attention that is given homes here in Portland. More attractive resi dences and better kept yards are not to be found in any other city. Try to Raise $1000. An effort will be made to raise $1000 at the service next Sunday morning at the First Christian Church. Five hundred dollars of this is for the support of Rev. J. Baird, a mis sionary stationed at Choe Chu. China; $300 is for city missions, and $200 is to be applied in church extension. In addi tion to the $500 raised by the church to ward the support of Rev. Mr. Baird, $100 will be raised .by the T. P. S. C. E. and the Sunday school. A special pro gramme has been prepared for the morn ing service.which is as follows: Biog raphy of Rev. Mr. Baird and a letter from him, read by Miss Rose Aldrich; unveiling of crayon portrait of Mr. Baird: "What Others Have Done We Can Do." Miss Overhold: "Figures and Facts," H. M. Haller: "Reflex Influence of Mis sions," Ward Swope; closing address, Lafe Pence. Oddfellows to Celebrate.

A- Walte, interna tional secretary of the religious work department of the association, was the chief speaker and the guest of honor. Fred B. Smith, who is associated with Mr. Waite in his work, was also present and delivered an address. The remarks were largely explanatory of tho methods pursued by Eastern associations in their work. The board of directors and de partment committees of management wore present at the meeting. Preceding the addresses of the evening dinner was served. Parents' Meeting Tomorrow Night. A parents' meeting will be held tomorrow night in tho Brooklyn School assembly hall at 7:15 , o'clock under the auspices of the Mothers' and Teachers' Club.

The boss barbers of Portland held a meeting last night at the shop of F. T. Rogers, Third and Alder streets, at which the principal business of the evening was the discus sion of the 35-cent hair-cuttirig rate. This rate will go into effect "May 15.' It is the opinion "of the employing barbers that this rate should have been charged before this, but those who started the movement resulting in the present raise in price were not confident formerly that there was sentiment enough back of the higher price to warrant an effort to get all barbers of Portland to raise the price. It is noticeable that since the first rumor of a raise In price many men are taking advantage of the present rates and availing themselves of a "shingling." Reception at Taylor-Street Church. The Men's Methodist Social Union of Portland will hold an open informal re ception at Taylor-Street Church Friday night at 7:39 o'clock. The guests of honor will be Dr. D. L. Rader, editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate: Dr. Francis Burgette Short, Dr. H. C.

Bovard. edi tory of the California Christian Advo cate. Dr. W. H. Heppe, of Centenary Church, will deliver the address of the evening on "Present Day Methodism." Women of the congregation will serve light refreshments in the church parlors. The invitation is general. Pus to Wornc for Coffey. At a meeting of the Union Labor party last night plans for doing effective work in the municipal primary nominating elec tion were discussed. Instead of holding a mass meeting, which was first pro posed, it was decided to arrange for precinct meetings preliminary to taking an active part in the primaries. All members of the different labor unions will be expected to attend these meetings when working commitees-will be appoint ed for each precinct, the purpose being to get out every possible vote for John B. Coffey, who- has been indorsed for Mayor by the- labor organizations, and the other candidates for municipal offices who have received the indorsement of the labor unions. ' , Sprinkling Teams -Scarce. Sprinkling in Portland may be seriously interfered with this Summer, owing to a scarcity of teams. . Superintendent Donaldson, of the Street Cleaning Department, could use lo' teams if he couid obtain them.. Street sprinkling has begun, but about half of the wagons cannot be utilized because of the shortage of teams and drivers. As there is a growing demand for teams the condition may prove seri ous.

' What Really Becomes of 'Lection Cards Demand hy Small Boy, Who Want Them for Netv Gajmblfasr Game, So Great That More I'asteboarda Are Keeded Ir RCntly A Hint to Candidate ELECTION cards are In great demand. More of them should be issued with out delay for they have completely usurped the place in juvenile gaming cir cles formerly occupied by marbles and are becoming scarce. Small boys no longer play marbles; they play "cards." The youngster possessing 100 or more of these pasteboards Is looked upon by the others as a plutocrat. Before school, at noon recess and after school, baseball marbles and the old favorites take second place. - The smaller beys line up and toss small leaden quoits t a line. The one coming nearest to the center collects a candidate's card from each of the others In the same. The cards are the regular medium of exchange and aside from their value In this game can be traded for marbles and juvenile knick-knacks. The new game is said to have originated among the pupils of an East Side school. There Is no difference in value of the cards. One issued bv a mayoralty can- tlidate'isn't in any more demand than the cards of would-be Counellmen.. Just how the lads come into possession of their card collections is not learned, although It is hinted that unfaithful distributors dispose of them In this manner. ' CONTRACTORS' WANTS.
