Will Ask for Depot. The Monta
villa Hoard of Trade will ask the O. R. &
N. Rai'wav Company to establish a pas
senger and freight depot on the siding
in North Montavule. A strip of land
1."j0 feet long was bought and presented
to the railroad company several years
ago by the people of Montavilla with
the understanding that when It would
pay a passenger and freight depot would
be established. It Is considered that
such depot would be justified by the bus!
ness it could now handle. There is a
big territory surrounding this siding.
New tracts are being opened up. The
Gregory Seattle Syndicate is platting an
80-acr tract and a tract called the Leabo
Addition is being platted a short way
from this siding. A big lot of produce
is required Tor the neighborhood, besides
building material, which it Is considered
would mako a depot psy the company.

Christmas Buying Has Kept
Up Since Thanksgiving.
BETTER GOODS BOUGHT
Department Stores All Say Trade
Surpas.e8 Any Previous Year
Both in Volume and In Class
of Goods Sold.
It has cost the people of the City of
Portland over a million and a half of
dollars to make Christmas merry for
others and to bring good cheer to them
selves. Never in the city's history has
there been such holiday buying, never
have people seemingly been so plentifully
supplied with money, and since Thanks
giving -the town has been a riot of Christ
mas shopping. Among the business men
at the postoffice. the express offices, mes
sengers and delivery offices, and, in fact,
with every man, woman and child who
has had work In connection with the
holiday -trade, all 'say that any previous
record of Christmas buying has been
hopelessly snowed under.
The education of "do your shopping
early" has been wonderfully effective.
And it has been an education, for the
matter had been taken up by woman's
clubs and other kindred organizations
throughout the country, ' and in every
department store and among merchants
all over the city, they to a man said
that they had been tremendously aided
In handling their holiday trade because
of this education. "Buy early and buy
expensive things" seems to have been
the unspoken slogan of the vast army
of people who were filled with the spirit
of Christmas with its "Peace on earth,
good will to men," for at each place of
business visited yeeterday, it was the
same story "Not only have the people
bought more this year than they did last
year, or ever before, but they have
bought all the way through a better
grade of presents."
Million and Half Spent.
A million and one-half dollars has been
spant since Thanksgiving for Christmas
presents. This estimate was placed by
conservative business men, not by one
but by several, and they were of the
opinion that the figure was much less
than was actually spent. From all ac
counts the two big buying days were
Saturday last and Tuesday. These were
two banner days at Olds, Wortman &
King and at the Meier & Frank Com
pany. At Lipman, Wolfe & Co. they
had one day last year that was larger
than any one das' of this year, but from
the point of goods sold and money spent,
the big day of 1907 did not compare with
several days of this year.
Weather conditions have helped all
branches of business and it is only the
express company, the postoffice and a
few of the general delivery companies
that are behind in their deliveries. All
were prepared for a prosperity Christmas,
but they had no idea that the flood of
business would be so great. Over In the
registry department of the postoffice
they are swamped. Postmaster Minto,
however, hopes to get all of the pack
ages delivered early next week. Now
that the sending of mail is over, he
sending force will -be turned over to the
delivery department, and the work will
be cleaned up with a rush. This is also
true with the express companies.
Thanksgiving. The campaign that was
started all over the country by the
woman's clubs has done a great work
and the great rush was over yesterday,
although there Is almost as much buying
today as there was any one day last
year. The buying this year has been
simply tremendous."
"You cannot compare this holiday sea
son with anything that has come and
gone in Portland," said I. N. Lipman,'
"for all former records have been hope
lessly smashed. There was nothing
spotted about the buying this year, as
there was last. It has been a steady,
high-class buying, .beginning with the
days after Thanksgiving Money never
was so plentiful and people never seemed
so willing to spend it."
Vesterrlav was also greeting day. In
addition to the busy messenger boy. the
busy city expressman and the rest of the
busy holiday-bent people, the telephone
operators came in for their share of the
hard work. All day long and far into
the blinking hours of the morning the
telephones were used for the cheerfui
exchange of Christmas greetings and
many a "Merry Christmas" was sent
over the wires.
AT THE QUELLE.
Special dinner will be served today.
from 11 to 8; special a la carte service;

Florists Busy People.
Testerdav was the busiest day for the
florists and the messenger offices. From
early morning until long after midnight
boys laden with packages were flitting
over the city streets, making belated de
liveries. Like everything else, more
flowers were sold this year than ever
before. Thousands of dollars was spent
In flowers alone, so that each dinner
table would be decorated today. Not all
of tho flowers went for this purpose, for
many beautiful blossoms went to the
hospitals to cheer the beds of sick, pa
tients.
It was Indeed a merry, merry Christmas
for everybody and it' seems that every
body had plenty of money to spena.
Julius Meier said: "We have never done
such a Christmas trade since the firm
began business. People have bought
a better class of goods than ever before
and I have never seen money so pienxi
ful. Saturday and Tuesday were our
biggest days. On account of the crowd
ed condition of our store, we were handi
capped, but next year we will have
double the floor space and we will not
have to close the doors, as we did a
couple of days this year. The fact that
people bought so mucn ana so mvisiuj,
shows without doubt that the prosperity
which was promised is wun us.
Better Than Any Other Year.
"No holiday shopping' in any former
year can compare with the season of
iis " said H. C. Wortman yesterday
afternoon, "and the store has enjoyed
the greatest Christmas trade in its history-
The buvlng has been steady since
DINNER GIVKX TO HUNGRY
Volunteers and Salvation Army
Have Made Active Preparations,
There will be Christmas dinners and a
lot of holiday cheer dispensed by the
Volunteers of America today. Already
the Volunteers. Major John T. Foulkes,
have made arrangements to serve dinner
to over 200 homeless men. Not only has
the organization made arrangements to
care for the needy, they have also nun
dreds of well-stocked baskets that they
have been giving to the wortfiy poor who
were unable to buy food for a Christmas
dinner. The baskets contain either a
fowl of some sort or an eight-pound piece
of roast beef, together with butter and
other vegetables that go to make a good.
wholesome dinner.
Tickets calling either for a basket or
a dinner have been freely distributed.
Those who are deserving of this charity
will find tickets and the baskets at 24t
Couch street, from 9 to 11 A. M., and
from 4 to 6 P. M. today.
The Salvation Army has also been ac
tive In preparing for Christmas dinners.
Tripods from which are suspended iron
kettles, together with a soldier attending,
have been stationed at many street cor
ners and the contributions of the public
have been solicited. The Army expects
to feed many hungry and homeless men
today. .

BISHOf SCADDING'S CHRISTMAS GREETING TO
EPISCOPAL DIOCESE
Bishop Scadding has sent out the following Christmas greeting to
the clergy and laity of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon:
A Merry Christmas to you one and all, my dear members of our
diocesan family. At this joyous season my heart goes out in loving
greeting to all our clergy and laity, to the faithful in active city
parish, to friends without the diocese, to the patient and sometimes
discouraged workers In our distant missions, to ranchers far away,
who can have no opportunity to make their Christmas communions, to
our Auxiliary women, and the dear children, to the occasional wor
shiper with us, and also to those baptized and confirmed members of
our Father's family who rarely, if ever, "praise God In the congrega
tion" to all may God give in abundance the cheer and consolations of
the Christian truth. How all thoughts of self, of our successes and
failures, of the indifference of friends, of the unresponsiveness of fellow-workers,
of false judgments of our actions, and misinterpretations
of our motives, take to themselves wings and fly away, and- our
hearts glow with joy and love when we meditate on the marvel of the
Incarnation, on the great wonder of the love of God. The world apart
from Christ gives us no adequate assurance that God is love, although
Robert Browning has taught us to say "He that created love, shall he
not love?" But that God is love It is this that our Lord guarantees.
It Is this love which furnishes the motive power to carry out the
object of the Incarnation expressed In the command of Christ, "As the
Father hath sent me. even so send I you." The call of the Incarnation
to you and me is personal and complete. We are asked to Invest our
selves. The motive, after all. which must move the church is not pro
portionate giving or systematic giving, pleas for money, various Incite
ments to duty, or the crying needs of heathen at home or the heathen
abroad. It is the example and direct command of the Incarnate Lord.
The "as" and the "so" of that command are equal. His coming Into
the world cost him poverty, persecution, agony, and crucifixion. He
gripped the world by renouncing it, and we must continue and com
plete his work as his commissioned ones, for he invests us with the
same programme of renunciation, and the same promise of victory. I
call upon you, dear people, to Invest ypurstlves, body, soul and mind.
In the service of our Incarnate Master; then there will be no "mission
ary problem." and no lack of means for church support. The Incarna
tion of the Son of God Is not a speculation of the understanding. It is
Incomparably the greatest fact in the whole history of our race, and
as such it Imposes on us corresponding moral duties, so that it is
no exaggeration to say:
"Were the whole realm of Nature mine.
That were an ofTerlng far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Hemanils my soul, my life, my all."
CHARLES SCADDING.
Bishop of Oregon.
