Portland does not seem to regard fact ThlT this 1 Presidential year menace to the continued prosperity of the state. V Furthermore, the bank deartngs for Eeptember show, for the first time since . KHnnlnit of the year, a gain over XT mny fotals of 1907. No particular Industry Is reflected In the an etojr but the rarled activities of tbjea ttre section are represented In the totals. That the up-grade movement whlcn started daring the usually dull Bummer season, la now well along and business In all lines will continue to improve, is the betef of bankers and business men generally, wno are m close touoh with Industrial matters in Portland. Iumber Market lias Bwlwi. The present increment of lumber to foreign purchasers has never. It Is saw. fcTO mrpsssed. Batlsfactory adjustment of rate questions with the transcontinen tal railroads has stimulated the ship ment of lumber to the Eastern markets nd the revenue pouring Into this city from the marketing of this great produit ts a very large Item that contributes to Portland's prosperity. It Is now only a year since the first ground-swell that presaged the financial storm of last Fall began to be felt here, as elsewhere, and people began to hoard their savings, fearing to entrust tnem O the banks lest the accumulations of years be swept away in the Impending panic One year ago the Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bonk had failed, tying up the sav ings of several thousand people. This frightened others who had money In local banks and those who were timorous drew heavily against their balances. This. In turn, caused the bankers to refuse loans to carry on business that, in normal times, would have been extended as a matter of course. The rumors of Im pending disaster brought on a condition that was Just what everybody feared, and In November other banks failed. Portland First to Recover. Hut that Fortland has such substantial resources behind lt that within a year from the time the panlo of 1S07 swept over the country the city can completely recover her stride la considered remark able. Because of the splendid develop ment going on here. Portland and Oregon have felt the panlo less than any other section and are the first to recover from Its effects. That the city and surrounding country have recovered Is shown by the advance In bank clearings over September. 1907. which was. for the most part, the banner year in the city's history. Until Fall came. Portland went aheaa as never be fore. Bank clearings piled up enormous totals and everybody was prosperous. Kvery business man was making money and labor was paid high wages, and was busy. I Bank clearings for September. 1907. had not fallen off on account of the Impend ing panic for the wave of alarm and fear that swept the country had not yet reached Portland. The month's total re ported by the Clearlng-House was $30. 171.840.01. which was only S2.SO0.O0O be low the record month for the year and that was the month of May. when every thing was at the height of Spring ac tivity in all lines of Industry. That the clearings for the month ending yesterday should overtop last September Is an earn est for the future that promises great things for the city during the Winter. Clearinirs for the month ending yesterday were o0.3:0.S.4.76. Capital here Is not frightened by the approaching election. Portland people are atLsned that the resources of the great l"aclIio Northwest are sufficient to keep the wheels of tndustryturnlng. no matter which way the votes shall be cast In No vember. They are going about their va rious business plans as If nothing of the kind was In sight, and they will appar ently have no cause to wish they had been more cautious. Clty Prospects Are Bright. Statistics showing the many activities In Portland and the surrounding country illustrate the upward, expansive move ment that Is on In full swing. Lumber men and all other manufacturers are sat isfied with business conditions. Jobbers report that merchants are ordering large stocks and retailers say business is good. Building Is brisk, and this, together with various improvements about the city, gives employment to large numbers of laborers. Portland Is more prosperous rlKht now than at this time last year, and the Indications are that business will continue to Improve.

Marshficia Resident Predicts Big Boom as Soon as Railroad Is Completed. P. P. Norton, a well-known business man and pioneer of Marshfleld, Coos County, was In Portland yesterday on his way home after having; visited the Salem State Fair and the Portland Country Club and Livestock Associa tion's fair. Mr. Norton said that Marshfleld and the other places on Coos Bay are growing rapidly and that the recent financial flurry was not felt In the least In that vicinity. He said the reason for this Is the great amount of building going on there, as well as the increase In all lines of Industry. "Marshfleld is rapidly outgrowing the village class and will soon put on the front of a real city," said Mr. Norton. "We already have one finely paved street That Is Front street, which Is laid with bituminous pavement for Its entire length, and within the next year First and Second streets, as well as A B, C and D streets, will be similarly Improved. In the past two years six large reinforced concrete or brick buildings have been erected, and with in a short time our handsome new hotel will be completed. The Increase In population in the outlying districts has also benefited the towns on Coos Bay. This is due principally to the large number of people who are em barking In the dairying industry, a business for which Coos County is es pecially adapted. Our dairy products are a source of especial pride to our citizens, for we acknowledge superior ity to no other locality in the state. "Another Industry that promises a great future for our county Is its coal mines. While the Beaver Hill and Eastport mines are being worked to their full capacity at present, the pos sibilities are that each will be worked on a greater scale In the near future, or as soon as transportation facilities warrant such a proceeding on the part of the owners. We will eventually have a railroad Into Coos Bay and when that long-hoped-for event ma terlallxes. our city will become one of the principal ports on the Coast. We expect to be able to travel to Portland by rati within the next year or two, and then watch Marshfleld grow with giant strides." Mr. Norton, accompanied by Mrs. Norton, left for home on the ssteamer Breakwater last night. CLASSES START THIS WEEK At the Y. M. C. A. Night School. Educational Director Kees, of the T. M. C A., reports that the registra tion of students at the opening Is larger than ever before. The attendance at this practical school is composed of from quite well-defined groups. First boys and young men who go for help In making a right start In life. Then knowledge, skill and earning pow er are comparatively slight. Second, young men who have already made a good start In life, but who want to climb higher. They are taking work In commercial, technical and general lines. Third, men who are engaged or wish to engage In some pursuit requiring special knowledge and training. Such as show-card writing, plumbing, .car pentry, gas engineering. telegraphy, mining and assaying, electrical wiring and testing and trades chemistry. Fourth, foreign-speaking men learn ing to spesk and read and write the English language. Fifth, young men taking college pre paratory subjects. LIST IS UNCHANGED Commission Declines to Make Room for Baty. MALLETT WOULO RETIRE Asks to Give Up Chance of Appoint ment as Police Captain, bnt Is Refused Patrolmen List Is Submitted. Chief of Police Grltxraacher sent a communication to the City Civil Service Commission yesterday which was read and acted upon at a meeting of tke com missioners yesttrday afternoon. Attached was a copy of a letter written' the chief by Patrolman Fred Mallett. asking that ELECTED PRESIDENT 50TRB DAME SENIOR? CLASS. ' y v Igaatlns E. HeNamee. Ignatius E. McNamee, who has been elected president of the Notre Dame University senior class. Is the son of Thomas J. McNamee, of 491 East Oak street, one of the members of the firm of Frank Schmitt A Co., which operates a big planing mill. The young man who has been so signally honored was born In Portland 22 years ago and attended St. Mary's Academy, later entering Columbia University In 1990 and being the first student en rolled there. He graduated from that Institution In 1905. He has been at Notre Dame for three years. he be allowed to withdraw from the eli gible list certified to the police committee of the Executive Board for the position of Captain. The request was denied on the grouhd that there is no authority to grant it. Aside from the fact that such a re quest Is without precedent, there is the additional significant feature that Pa trolman Mallett stands at the head of the list of eliglbles for tht position of Cap tain, and while there has been a vacancy for many months, the police committee refuses to appoint any of the three pa trolmen whose names were certified aa eligible Patrolmen Mallett, Circle and Riley. Sergeant C. E. Baty has held and Is still holding the position aa commanding officer of the detective staff, he having been given charge of that branch of the police service when ex -Captain Bruin left the city's employ. Sergeant Baty was carried on the roll as an emergency cap tain for two months, and received the full pay of a captain, as provided by the civil service rules, but when an examina tion was held and Baty passed fourth on the list, the emergency clause could not be continued In effect, and It became necessary for the police committee to ap point a new man In his place or to keep him in charge with the rank of ser geant.. They chose the latter means, and he la still In charge of the detective staff. Chief Grltzmacher and the other superior officers. Including members of the police committee declare that Baty Is the most capable member of the de partment for the position, and long ago Chief Grltzmacher announced that Baty would be the permanent head of the se cret service branch. While there are three eliglbles ahead Baty cannot be appointed to the rank of Captain. Inasmuch as the powers that be have refused to nsme any other to the place. It Is believed that some one has given Patrolman Mallett a gentle hint that It would be wise for him to step aside and make lt necessary for the Civil Service Commission to certify a new list, which would carry the name of Sergeant Baty. In such case. It la said, Baty would Immediately be appointed. However, the plan. If It was a eoncertsd effort to secure a new list of eliglbles, was blocked by the Civil Service Com. mission, which refused to grant Patrol man Mallett permission to withdraw. The police committee must send In a com munication, stating "good reasons" why there Is not an appointment from the list first certified, before the matter can even be considered. Therefore the commis sioners ordered the letter filed, which disposes of the affair, unless lt comes up In another later on. The commission also certified the fol lowing list of eliglbles for patrolmen, from which the ten additional officers recently granted by the City Council will be chosen. L.

A COUNTRY GALA DAY Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway Praises Exhibits at Molalla Corners. PORTLAND, Sept. 80. To the Editor.) Last Saturday was a gala day at Mo lalla Corners, a picturesque village In the heart of Clackamas County, which nestles like a group of swans m the liv ing green that contains a cluster of snow white houses, flanked by perennial for ests that climb. In purple grandeur to the adjacent mountain tops. I - had been met on Friday at Oregon City by T. A. MeFadden. an honored Granger, behind whose reliable team I waa carried for 16 miles In the face of a refreshing south wind. Autumn-laden and odorous, through a succession of undu lating landscapes, dettea on every hand with pretty homes, ripening fields and loaded orchards. The roads were In fine condition and the hospitable friends who greeted me In their great white farm house at the journey's end gave promise 'if-the welcome that awaited me on the morrow. The Grangers' Hall was utilised as a pavilion and waa filled, upstairs and down, with a variety of exhibits, equal In quality to any such collection upon which my eyes have feasted anywhere. But I was most interested In the live stock, beginning with the babies and ranging upward from the school children, and clever exhibits of agriculture and handicraft, to the young men and maid ens, fathers, mothers and grandparents, all evidently prosperous and happy. The four-footed animals were the next attraction. But I'll not attempt to de scribe them, lest my professional en lightenment be questioned by men and women better versed In quadrupedal lore than I. "Be sure to say an encouraging word for us in The Oregon Ian, our fa vorite newspaper," said a bright-eyed mother of a cluster of happy children, as we Darted Inside the gates. "Don't for get the livestock and the babies," added a man who was afterwards reported to me as a genial bachelor, heart-whole and fancy free. "Don't neglect a syn opsis of your lecture," waa the parting admonition of a mother whose many children were no longer young. This last request waa something of a poser, as I had spoken -extemporaneously. But, to reverse the practice of my friends of the nulnlt and Dlatform in Portland. I shall do the beet I can after the tact promis ing only to oblige the reader with brev ity, said to be the soul of wit. I aald In part, as faithfully as I can recall the words: "I am not here to talk politics, but to encourage patriotism. Just as the largest heads In a field of grain are found on Its outer edges, you will find the men and women of the broadest brains and noblest purposes ris ing from the rural districts, where they have had room to expand and grow. I am here to talk patriotism the kind that engenders the spirit of liberty and Jus tice, which. In the last analysis can best be described In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln, who said. 'I go for all sharing the privileges of government with all who assist In bearing Its bur dens, by no means excluding women.' There, patient reader, what need have you, or the cltlaens of Molalla Corners and Its grand environs for a further synopsis of my theme? Are not the bur dens of government borne by every woman who perils her life to bestow ex istence upon a soldier? Isn't she taxed without representation and ' governed without consent? And hasn't she an in nate right to share the privileges of gov ernment, at least equally with men who have no home or abiding place In Oregon, who have never smelled gunpowder In battle and who always escape taxation, If they can? I promised you brevity, good reader, so will close this unique synopsis by adding that the newly-launched tax-paying suffrage amendment recently pro posed, to be submitted to the voters November 8, 1910, Is meeting with a grati fying welcome among the home-making farmers of both sexes, of whom I have met no more patriotic specimens than the crowd who greeted me at Molalla Corners and the Grangers' Fair. The south wind veered to the north and east by Saturday night, bringing a blighting frost, which changed the aspect of the landscape through which I was carried homeward on the glorious Bun day that followed. The corn, grapes, po tatoes and tomatoes seemed to have suf fered most, but the sparking alrewas like ether. The maples had taken on deeper hues of crimson and amber and stately sunflowers turned their golden fringes to the sun in triumphant survival, re minding nw of liberty, of whom Oregon's Immortal Senator Baker said In the long ago: "Oh, liberty 1 How imperishable art thou! I have seen thy enemies burn thee at the stake and scatter thy ashes to the winds; but when they turned to exult, I have seen thee arise, clad In an armor of complete steel, brandishing in thy right good hand a flaming sword, red with insufferable light I take cour- i, good friends, do I.

Then Hall struck out for the city, where he swore to a warrant for being struck by Strukem. It is said that Strukem's attorney .will ask that the complaint against Strukem be stricken from the records. Strukem and Hall are neighbors, liv ing on adjoining farms, near Fairvlew. Btrukem is 50 years of age. and Hall Is 70. Ill-feeling is said to have ex isted for several years between the two, and a climax was reached Sat urday when Strukem's dog attacked Hall. In defense of the dog, Strukem claims that Hall was trespassing In passing through his pasture. When Hall struck the dog, the master Im mediately went to its rescue and struck Hall.

ONLY ONE PENITENT FOUND Defiance) and Sneers Reward of Po lice Who Carry Warning of May or Lane's Moral Crusade to Underworld. Of the 178 women of the demi-monde ordered by the police to reform or leave town by next Tuesday, just one showed an Inclination to change for a better life. This was the report made to the head of the Police Department yesterday by the officers who passed around the reform order. Cursing, sneering women the two offi cers. Detective Kay and Sergeant Baty, found on every hand; but in a disreputa ble crib . on Fourth street, one young woman, not more than 20 years old and Just beginning to bear traces of her dis slpated career, took the suggestion about reformation with seriousness. "But how am I to go about doing bet ter?" she asked. "Report to Dr. Brougher. He is at tending to that detail and will do every thing possible to help you find work and get comfortably located," Detective Kay told her. "I believe I'll go see him," she said after a moment's reflection. "I want to do better." This waa the only contrite sinner of the lot. The others seemed hopelessly set to their following. Not a few seemed to take a pride In their calling and wanted to know If they were expected to "become a lot of tame little hens who'd go to church on Sunday, wash dishes, scrub floors and sueh things. Not much!" they Bald. The Impossibility of reforming those who are what they are by temperament aa well as through necessity is very plain to all observers of human nature who hap pen to know anything about the psychol ogy of this class of creatures. They will move on to the next town or try to evade the police in remaining here. But reformation is the last thing that will occur to them, the last thing not even ex cepting death. The criticisms of the outer world do not bother them. To them the world Is a place of hypocrisy inhabited by men who. are all bad and women who are weak, decorous little things that sing psalms and read from prayer books when not clandestinely engaging in some more romantic pastime. Fine clothes. Irresponsibility, strong drink, dissipation that is life, according to their Ideas and temperaments. And those who happen to know something of the class only laugh when the idea is ad vanced of reforming such craven, maud lin, gaudy, flighty creatures.
