well cdiicn ted man, having graduated

The recall f Vice-Consul Alba at this
time is significant when it is remembered
that it is less than two months since
the Seattle consul of Japan took a leave
of absence and suddenly left for Tokio,

only three months since Consul-General

the regrets of the local natives of the
Sunrise Kingdom will be expressed at
the parting with Mr. Aiba, and a cordial
welcome extended to Mr. I way a. The

securing of the hall. The speeches will
be entirely In Japanese.
Mr. Aiba's residence in Portland has
been a pleasant one. He speaks Kngllsh
fluently and has a thorough understand
ing of American institutions. He has
made many friends among both Japanese
and Americans, who will regret his
departure.
FIRE CHIEF CONSULTED
Allowed to Give His Views on
F.Iectric Alarm lanchise.
David Campbell, chief of the fire de
partment, seriously objects to any but
members of the department, or persons
duly authorized by he city, having ac
cess to the Are alarm apparatus, and his
recommendations on the subject in all
probability are to be incorporated in the
franchise asked of the Council by the
National Automatic Fire Alarm Com
pany. In the opinion of Chief Campbell
and City Electrician Savarian, there are
serious objections to granting certain
privileges asked by the company, and
these may defeat the passage of the
franchise ordinance.
Chief Campbell -would have the auto
matic boxes at least 300 feet distant from
the regular tiro alarm boxes, and he
objects to any but city employees having
permission to work on the wires. He also
Insists that the thermostat system, used
by the automatic company, is very un
satisfactory, at present. Too many false
alarms are sent in by it, he declares. The
ordinance was referred back to the
streets committee.
Special Council Meeting.
There will be a special meeting of the
City Council next Saturday at 2 P. M.
for the purpose of acting upon the annual
apportionments recommended by the
ways and means committee, for the vari
ous city departments. There was such
a press of business at the session of the
Council yesterday afternoon that it was
found impracticable to attempt to ad
Just the ways and means committee's ap
portionments at that session. It Is pre
dicted by some that a good many changes
will be made, and considerable pruning
done.

FINDS EQUINE PATRIARCH
Renews Acquaintance With Family
Mule After 30 Years.
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Ferrell have re
turned to their home, 761 East Yamhill
street, after spending three months in
North Carolina. Texas, New Mexico and
other cities in the East. They first went
to North Carolina, which is Mr. Ferrell's
home state and from which -he had been
absent over 30 years. He found many of
the landmarks still remaining, but the
most remarkable relic of the past he hap
pened upon was & mule 40 years old which
was once owned by his lather. Mr. ar-
rell is three years older than this mule
and 30-odd years ago used to ride the
animal. The mule is probably the oldest
in the United States, and bids fair to live
another 10 years. He still does light
work in the cotton fields.
While the trip was full of Interest Mr.
Ferrell prefers Oregon. He says that
the people of North Carolina are not pro
gressive. They own farms averaging
300 acres, yet do not make as much out
of them as an Oregonian makes out of
five or ten acres planted in fruit.

FAIR BILL WILL
MEET-OPPOSITION
House Expected to Cut Seattle
Appropriation to Half
Million Dollars.
SENATE IS MORE LIBERAL
Even When Amount Is Greatly Re
duced It Will Have Hard Sled
ding In View of James- -town
Failure.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 22. The Seattle Exposition
bill is going to encounter rough sledding
in the House committee on industrial
arts and expositions. The chairman of
the committee. Representative Gardner,
of Massachusetts, is opposed to the meas
ure, and a preliminary poll of the com
mittee shows that Mr. Gardner has the
support of a majority of the members.
Whether this majority can be overcome,
so that a favorable report can be made
to the House, depends upon the amount
of influence the "Washington delegation
can bring to bear, and also depends upon
the extent to which the delegation will
consent to have the bill reduced.
As it now stands, the Piles-Humphrey
bill appropriates a total jOf tl,125,000 for
Government buildings and exhibits. This
would provide for buildings twice as
large or twice as elaborate as the Gov
ernment buildings at the Portland Ex
position, and wquld moreover enable the
Government to make an exhibit of twice
the size, it is true the amount asked is
more than double the amount appro
priated for Portland, but there has been
an increase in the cost of labor and ma
terials since 1904, and .this will require a
larger outlay to obtain the same results.
Points to Portland Exhibit.
It is the opinion of Government men,
as well as those in Congress who are ad
vised, that the Government exhibit at
Portland was amply large, and that the
buildings were ample, 'mat exhibit com
prised the best features of the more
elaborate exhibit at St. Louis, yet, by
reason of being more compact, was re
garded as more attractive and Instruc
tive. There was a superfluity of Gov
ernment display at St. Louis, a fact that
is recognized in Congress, and it Is im
probable that any toill will again pass
authorizing such an extended exhibition
of the workings of the Government de
partments. Congressmen of influence,
who are friendly to the Seattle Exposi
tion, have advised the men from Wash
ington to ' reduce the amounts called for
in their bill, by eliminating those fea
tures which are unnecessary.
"With the Bremerton Navy-Yard close
at hand, and within easy reacil of all
visitors to the Exposition, it will be un
necessary to make any extensive naval
exhibit, according to these authorities.
The coast fortifications and lighthouse
establishments near by make unnecessary
any material expenditure for such- dis
plays. Then it is pointed out that
Seattle could very well do without an
exhibit by the Library of Congress, the
Department of Justice, Department ot
State, and other bureaus or departments
whose work is not of a character to per
mit either an attractive or instructive
exhibit. There have been such exhibits
at other expositions. It is true, but they
have added nothing to the interest, and
have only tended to increase the cost.
Reduction Must Be Made. '
If these suggestions are carried out
and the bill is cut to 1500,000 there may
be a prospect of securing a favorable re
port from the House committee. But if
the delegation stands out and demands
the full $1,125,000, it will get no considera
tion from the expositions committee of
the House. But it -will require very ef
fectual work to convince a majority of
the House committee, even on a more
economical basis, to favorably report the
Seattle bill. The Jamestown failure cast
a wet blanket over exposition legisla
tion in general, and Seattle is most un
fortunate in following so close upon the
heels of that financial disaster. The
members from all Pacific Coast and
Rocky Mountain states are supporting
the Washingtonians In their fight for an
exposition appropriation, but even so,
they represent a hopeless minority in
Congress.
The probabilities are that the Piles bill
Will be first acted upon. The Senate
committee is not so rigid as the corre
sponding committee In the House, and
the Senate is more liberal in making ap
propriations which are sought by Sen
ators for such-objects as this.
The Senate committee is made up as
follows: "Warner, Missouri, chairman;
Crane, Massachusetts; . Hansbrough,
North Dakota; Fulton, Oregon; Aldrich,
Rhode Island: Sutherland, Utah, ana
Brandagee. Connecticut, Republicani:
and Daniel. Virginia; McCreary. Ken
tucky; Rayner, Maryland; Overman,
North Carolina, and Taylor, Tennessee,
Democrats. Of this, number "Warner,
Fulton, Daniel and Taylor come from
states which have had Government-aided
expositions, and they will naturally vote
for some sort of Seattle bill. Sutherland
and Hansbrough, being Western men.
will be friendly, and McCreary, Rayner
and Overman, coming, from states which
directly benefited froyi the Jamestown
crowds, will likely Rive support. This
Kives them a good-sized majority when
the vote is taken.
It is believed, however, that the Sen
ate committee, in reporting the bill, will
materially reduce the amount of the ap
propriations, and while it may not cut
as deep as the House committee, will get
the total pretty well down toward half
a million dollars.
No one believes that an independent
exposition bill is going to pass both
houses of Congress. It may pass the
Senate out of courtesy, but not the
House. The probabilities are that the
Senate bill will be attached to some gen
eral appropriation bill' as a Senate
amendment, and if the amount carried
is not too great, the House, In the clos
ing days of the session, may consent to
accept the Senate amendment. This
means that the appropriation, if made,
will not be available much before June 1,
1008.

clearance sale during the past four
days have unanimously expressed the
statement that the. values offered now
excel any that have been previously
quoted in this city. Our warerooms are
crowded, and also our wholesale ware
house, one delayed shipment of new
pianos alone, which should have been
received before the holidays, not arriv
ing until, afterward, containing seven
entire carloads, and these, together
with the many instruments taken In
trade during our big Christmas selling,
have almost overwhelmed us. And
wlih Spring stocks now on the road
from our Eastern factories, there Is no
time to lose. ' We must clean up our
floors quickly. So every used instru
ment is now offered at a price which
means a tremendous Inducement for
prompt purchasing.
None Reserved.
All exchanged pianos, taken in trade .
by us. in addition to those returned
from rental use. and also a number
which have become slightly marred by
having been used for display purposes,
and otners a little shopworn, are in
cluded in this Special Clearance fale.
But to fully appreciate this extra -dinary
event, one must see the plxiuis
themselves, and note their excellent
condition and smallness of price.
