JEALOUS MAN IS FINED Brecker Follows Former Sweetheart With Disastrous Results. Did Oliver Brecker follow Mrs. Hattle Peabody and her male escort all over town Sunday, or did he meet them every 15 minutes of the afternoon by accident? Acting Municipal Judge-Seabrook had to pass upon this question yesterday fore noon and in view of the conflicting stories told, deciding the matter was a difficult thing. Everywhere she went with her newer and better looking friend, Brecker, the discarded, seemed to put in an ominous appearance, the woman said. They walked around blocks only to run into Brecker. . They went .into a restau rant. He entered a moment later and sat at an adjoining table. They got up and left without eating. Brecker. too. suffered a loss of appetite and did not wait to eat. They went to the East Side on a streetcar. Brecker suddenly remembered having business on the East Side and after sprinting three blocks managed to catch the same car on which they were riding. In despair of losing the one-time favored friend. Mrs. Peabody eventually faced him to tell him what she though of his conduct. Her escort took occasion to flash a big revolver and tell him that the gun would be brought into play un less he vanished. But, undaunted, Brecker hung on. So they made their way to Patrolman Riley, told him their grievance, and stepped on a Fulton car. But that did not end Brecker. He ran around two blocks to escape the police man and caught the car at a turn. They finally had to go home and give up and have Brecker arrested on a warrant charging him with being rude and dis orderly. "It was them following me she's crazy about me." Brecker told the court. His attorney, Seneca Fouts, essayed to make out thru Brecker had aroused tile wom an's jealousy on several occasions. "Jealous of that thing!" she exclaimed, with such emphasis that the court moved back a little farther In the judicial chair. Say. when I get Jealous. I want some thing to get jealous over." The court decided that Breeker's per sonality did not seem to be such as would Inspire any woman to pursue him all over town and since someone had plainly been doing the following he concluded it must have been Brecker. SO Brecker was fined $10. INCREASE CHAIR OUTPUT Oregon Chair Company . Builds Ijarger Plant. The Oregon Chair Company has taken out a permit to increase the ca pacity of its plant. The record shows that a new factory Is to be built ad joining the present building of the company on Macadam road. South Portland, and that the number of em ployes Is to be doubled and the output of the two factories will more than double that of the present factory. Less thai two years ago the Oregon Chair Company started the factory for the manufacture of a cheap to medium line of chairs exclusively, and the pre diction was made that the venture would prove unsuccessful. The de cision to enlarge the factory la the an swer to the criticism. The principal owners of ths factory are men of experience from the old established furniture district in Mich igan. They came to Portland to go Into this business after carefully ex amining the situation and the oppor tunities ofTered by other Coast cltle3 for the starting up of such an enter prise. Suitable wood for the manufac ture of furniture is growing scarce In the Middle Western and Kastern States, and oak. for example. Is now brought to thla country from the Ori ent. These manufacturers decided that it would be cheaper to have the oak logs cut up and made Into furni ture here than to ship the logs t,ast. cut them up. and -when furniture was made, ship It to points in the west. The class of chairs made at the Ore gon plant uses in the manufacture large quantities of Oregon fir as well an Imported oak. and it is claimed that thla company Is the first to use the product of this state bo extensively. The prediction ia mads that this city Is destined to become the furniture center of the country inside of 20 years. The reasons given are that this port is in direct communication with On ental countries; it Is a distributing point that has no equal in the Pacific Northwest, and it has unexcelled power facilities, besides offering to working people Ideal conditions In living ex penses and opportunity to invest their savings. BOARD ACCEPTS HYDRANTS ACTS AFTER 18 MONTHS OX BIG CONSIGNMENT. Company Gets Pay for Only Part of Shipment and Investigation . Will Continue. The City "Water Board yesterday held a special meeting, at which It ordered the payment of a claim from Hoge & Swift, an Kastern manufacturing com pany, for J 30 firs hydrants, the bill for these aggregating $3600. There are still 20 of the shipment unaccepted, the Inspector for the Fire Department de clining to take them because of some alleged defects. The contract for thla lot of hydrants was entered Into by the city 18 months ago, and It has been the cause of much trouble. There Is to be an investigation of the whole matter by the Mayor and members of the Fire Committee of the Exeoutlve Board, to fix responsibility for the long delay in accepting the hydrants. The investi gation was scheduled for tonight, but owing to the death of a member of Chief Campbell's family, a postpone ment was ordered. It Is doubtful if any other contract entered into by the city has caused so much trouble as this one for hydrants. Where it will end, no one knows. The Executive Board has ordered the fire committees to proceed with an invest! gatlon, and it has appeared from the tenor of the members that the object of the probing is to fix blame upon Chief Campbell. It has also been charged by Walter O. Haynes. local agent for the contracting firm, that his company's hydrants were "held up by Walter J, Phillips, Inspector of hydrants for the Fire Department, because of "financial interest" in -what is known as the Port land hydrant, a local product The contracting company s officers are indignant over the treatment they have received from the city, while Chief Campbell and Inspector Phillips reply that the hydrants fnrnlshed by Hoge & Swift were defective, and that they had to be sent to the foundry for re pealrs. The 20 still unaccepted are said to be at the foundry now.- A large umber of witnesses were supenaed for the hearing for tonight, but they will not have to appear until another date is set. The Water Board also opened bids for the construction of the new Fast Side office, to be built at East Seventh and East Alder streets. There were 15 bids, indicating that it will cost about $20,000 to have the structure com pleted. The Board awarded to the Willamette Iron & Steel Works the contract for constructing a standpipe on Council Crest, the bid being $1862. Bids were also opened for 3000 meters. The Henry M. Worthington Company was lowest, its price being $l,4z. The members of the Board spent four hours, investigating various makes of meters and considering the various bids, after which all bids were referred to Superintendent Dodge and Engineer Clark for a report. Madame Yale's Lecture Draws Big Crowd. BY LEONE CASS BAER T is almost another case of trying to paint the lily, for Portland's fair femininity to attend a beauty lecture. but Madame Tale, the celebrated spe cialist, spoke to a big representative audience yesterday afternoon at the Helllg. It is a well-demonstrated fact that women-never get too old or for lorn to ignore the call of the beauty .cult. I wot that had some one deliv ered a lecture on "How to Be Happy. Though Married." or given a cooking lesson, or talked about the servant girl question, sewing or raising families, that only a few of those padded chairs would have held occupants. But given a charming, lively woman who frankly admits her 50 odd years and doesn't look 20, who delivers an interesting talk in an impersonal manner, and we all flock to hear her. You know a woman is always judged by her face value. Madame Tale certainly is a "dream of fair woman." She confesses chat she weighs 1S5 pounds, but she is as dainty and sylphlike as a girl and the incarnation of grace. Her lecture was divided into four parts. In the first Madame Yale appeared in a white satin dinner gown and a beautiful millinery confection that made us all sit up and take notice. She spoke on the art of beauty culture. Then the curtain fell and stayed fallen for a aeemlngly in terminable period, to be raised again on the fair madame In a ballet cos tume of black and pale rose. In this act she was the spirit of poetry and grace and a living, breathing exponent of her art the aclence of physical cul ture. The third part presented Madame Tale In gorgeous pink fleshllngs and a drum-major bonnet. I forgot to say the lecture was for ladies alone. In this scene Madame Tale expressed her subject, "The Poetry o Motion." In beautiful dances and graceful walks. She showed in clever imitation the various methods of Incorrect walking and standing, and I don't believe a woman in the audience thought the madame referred to her. In her fourth and last appearance Madame Yale gave a talk on "The Art of Good Style." and gave general Instructions along the systematic course of beauty culture. The orchestra rendered selections throughout the lecture, which was most instructive and thoroughly en joyable. "SI. Hopkins" Matinee Today.

"You have a richer heritage in your fertile soil than all the wealth in the Rocky Mountains and the Cas cades, between the 49th Parallel and the Panama Canal, multiplied by 5." JAMES J. HILL, on his recent visit to ttie city ot Portland. BASE LINE ACRES has the finest soil in the state of Oregon for fruits of all kinds. The climate is especially favorable and the highest type of berries and cherries in the Nation have been raised on the land in close proximity. For garden truck, it is excelled nowhere. BASE LINE ACRES is exactly nine miles due west of the Courthouse, located on Stark street, extended, now known as the Base Line Road, and is only a few minutes' walk beyond the end.of the Montavilla carline. We make the trip every day in an automobile in 33 minutes, over the best road in the state. BASE LINE ACRES is traversed by the accepted sur vey of the Mount Uood Railway, which road will be completed and in operation within six months. When completed, this line will carry you from BASE LINE ACRES to the retail district in less than 35 miuutes. BASE LINE ACRES is close to a public school, a few minutes' walk from a church and grocery stores, com mands one of the finest scenic views in all the world, is certain to become a part of Portland and offers the best inducements for suburban living of any property in Multnomah County. Furthermore, all the improve ments of a first-class suburban community are present. BASE LINE ACRES, fortunately, are offered for sale at prices that are considerably below the price now charged for residence lots, 50 by 100 feet in size. Think of securing an acre for the price of a lot! Think of the superior advantages afforded in the way of pure air and all the health-giving invigoration of such a country as surrounds Portland! BASE LINE ACRES is now obtainable for $22.5 per acre and from that price up to $350. We will be pleased to sell it upon the easiest kind of terms and will be glad to taka you out to the property in our automobile any day that is convenient. If you buy an acre today, it is a foregone conclusion that one year from today, it will be worth more than double the present price. Besides being a fine place for your home, it is the best realty investment that has been placed upon the Portland market for years. BASE LINE ACRES answers a. popular demand for suburban homes that has been increasing tremendously for many months. It is cheaper in price than any other land along the Base Line Road and merits your closest investigation. It is upon property of this kind that "THE MAN OF TOMORROW" will live. It is this kind of land that the "COUNTRY LIFE COMMIS SION," appointed by President Roosevelt, which con venes in this city today, will popularize. F. B. HOLBROOK CO.

Is certainly handing out a bois terous time for the patrons of the Orpheum this week. Just one laugh Is - accorded everyone present; the duration of that laugh Is from the time Miss Emmett starts her flow of Irish wit, until the curtain drops on the completion of her sketch. Wonderful European Acrobats. Acrobatic acts come and go. but acro batic acts like the Great Heras Family of nine people are seldom seen in Portland, as they are the highest salaried airfrreira tion of acrobats in America. The Fantages management deserves great credit for pre senting the above act at popular prices. Salome at the Grand. Mile. Joyce Gray, the famous Salome dancer, is one of tne many reaturee on the present programme at the Grand. This week the Grand has one of the greatest vaudeville entertalnmnts that have been sent to this city. From the Salome dance to the motion pictures there is not a weak spot on the bll 1. ST. JOHN TO HAVE SALOONS COCXCIL FOLLOWS "MKDFOR PIAN" AND VOTES "WET." Four Members for Grogshops and Two Against Rumors of Recall Against One Councilman. Following; the "Medford plan," St. John decided through action of the Council last night that the place la not to be dry, despite the fact that at the last election the vote was cast In favor of having; no liquor sold in the town. An ordinance was passed by the Coun cil making the action of the voters opera tive, and all saloons In the place were required to go out of business. This was on the calender as ordinance 183 and closed up six saloons and one wholesale place. Under the Medford decision, which allowed cities In a county that had voted for prohibition to determine for Itself whether the law should apply in these cities, repeal of the ordinance was advo cated by those favoring license, and last night the ordinance was repealed by a vote of 4 to 2. Those who voted for the repeal in the Council were Davis, Hunter, Wlndle and Doble; opposed, Farnam and Miller. Already there are Ave applicants for license, made In the last few days, which will be considered by the license com mittee of the Council. If these or any of them are granted the privilege of re opening their saloons, the selling of liquor will be again conducted as before, and this Is expected to start in a few days. It Is reported that recall proceedings are to be prosecuted against Councilman W. W. AVindle, -who voted for repeal of the ordinance In face of the fact that lie was elected to office on the "dry" ticket. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Dec. 1.
