Chinatown tobk up as enthusiastic cel ebration of the year one yesterday morn ing and will continue tne observance In most lavish and noisome manner for several days to come. While these cele brations are held annually, the one of this year Is of unusual Importance as It Is the first year of a new dynasty, the Chinese wiping out their calendar and starting over again every time an Em peror dies. Last year was 14. marking the Hth year of the reign of the old Em peror. So. with the year one at band, the local Chinese are setting out to celebrate In fitting tsyle. The feasts are being pre pared more bountifully than ever, more Incense and punk are being burned, there 200 0 are more narcissus and tlu chung fu. Greetings of "ho sal gal" are heard on every hand. And the fantan players are somehow managing to keep away from the police and the opium revels are more plentiful than In the past. As for noise, the Sscond-street Orientals are working the sound waves over-time. Residents of the downtown district and Ktist Side, awakened during the early hours of yesterday morning, .were un decided whether an artillery siege was being conducted on the city or the busi ness district was being dynamited. Sev eral calls were actually made upon the police for Information as to the source of these dire sounds. New year falls earlier this year than In several years. It Is gauged by the first new moon after the sun enters Aquarius, which means that it may begin not be fore January 21 nor continue longer than February 19. . For at least a week local Chinese will give themselves up to the New Tear spirit. They will burn devils, pay calls, play fantan. smoke opium, drink gin and cut up otherwise, for the celebration is not ethical in its trend. It doesn't even serve as a swearlng-off point. Only such work as Is necessary will be per formed and don't wonder If you patron ize a Chinese laundry If It fails to return the household linen tnls week. John will be about all week smoking a big Manila cigar or a bamboo pipe with kin-t ang tobacco. When he is not smok ing or eating or drinking, you'll fliid him busy firing long strings of fire crackers or participating In weird ceremonies In the Josshouse. Heathen music will join In the din at all hours and occasionally, amid the rattling explosions of crackers, may bo heard the clash of cymbals, the clang of gongs, the harsh flageolets and the shrill flutes. John not only has to keep these things going as a matter of self-satisfaction, but In order that the various gods may be appeased and the various devils driven away so that pros perity may be Insured for the yearly per iod to come. HAS QUEER HALLUGIHATiDH MRS. ROBERTS BELIEVES SHE IS JO AX OF ARC. Loaves Home to Rescue Her People on a Call Which She Thinks Comes From God. Believing herself, like Joan of Arc, to have been called of God to rescue her people, Mrs. Emma Roberts, 86 years of age, has left her home In Portland to fulfill what she believes to be her divine mission. A husband and four children anxiously await her re turn. She departed November JO. and the police of many cities. Including Port land, have conducted a fruitless search for her. She did not disclose her des tination when she departed, and the mystery of her disappearance, together with the total failure of the search, has caused her relatives to fear she may have met with foul play. The only clew to the motive of her dlappearance is the fact that she fre quently talked of having been called on a religious mission that would com pel her to make a trip East. Her friends fear that Illness may have af fected her mind. Mrs. Roberts Is the wife of a car penter. The oldest of her children' Is 8 years, and the youngest 8 months. After the birth of the baby she visited her mother at Emmet, Idaho. She returned to Portland November 29. At 6 o'clock the next evening she de parted and not a trace of her has been discovered since that time. Relatives and friends are alarmed as the result of her absence. The case has been reported to the police de partments of many Pacific Coast cities, but all efforts to locate her have failed. Although Imagining that she received a message like the Maid of 4 . J : 1 A t i - t i Mrs. Kmrua Robert. Who Is i Mlaslng From Home. J t. . Orleans this matron of Portland is believed to have sought distant fields In which to accomplish her mission. Detectives who have Investigated the case declare the woman was deeply at tached to her husband and children until she felt Impelled to set out on her strange quest.

Shanahan Indorses Protest to President Roosevelt Against Useless Slaughter of Wild Game In Africa. A communication from Almon A. Locke, of Fort Worth. Tex., to W. T. Shanahan, secretary of the Oregon Hu mane Society, has Just been received, calling . the society's attention to the proposed hunt of President Roosevelt In Africa this coming Spring and Summer, and asking the society to assist u get ting the President to abandon the same, on behalf of the animals the President has selected to serve as targets. The plan Is to have the school chil dren of Oregon sign their names to pe titions which will be transmitted by Mr. Shanahan to Mr. Locke, and by him forwarded to the President. Mr. Locke. In his communication, says, among other things: "We have no time to lose, and by giving your immediate attention to this Important matter you will assist a highly commendable humane effort." The petitions to be presented to the President read as follows: Petition to the President. To His Excellency Theodore Roosevelt. President of the United suites: We, the undersigned children of America, learning that you have planned during 1B09 to visit Africa, and the annouced Intention of your vllt being the killing of wild game, do respectfully wish to voice our request that this plan. If It has been made, be abandoned. Our reason for this request is that, realis ing the force of your example and the inter est which attends your efforts we believe that the slaughter of wild game, as now practiced, no matter for what purpose. Rives an Impulse that is opposed to our efforts as members of the Band of Mcy, and to the efforts of all other children of America who are allies, to promote humanity to every helpless creature. In behalf of the good name of the United States of America, a name that has been honored by many shining deeds done in hiimnnttv'a name and in behalf of the hu mane and moral welfare of the children, and In behalf of your own honored name i-pon the pages of history, will you not con sider this signal opportunity you have to show the world that the cause of kindness has greater weight with you than even the love of sportsmanship, and will you not weigh this question on Ood's balances be fore making your decision, in order that the American people and the people of all na tions may benefit by your wise example and -humane influence? Shanahan Talks of Movement. A talk with Mr. Shanahan Indicated that this was the first official notifica tion that the Portland .Humane Society had received of the movement to dis suade President Roosevelt from taking the lives of any of the wild beasts that track the African Jungles. Similar com' munications had been sent, according to Mr. Shanahan, to all other states, and the humane societies In all parts of the country would be urged to aid In the work. Mr. Shanahan said that the proposed delivery of bones, heads, hair, skeletons, etc., to the Smithsonian Institution of any or all of Mr. Roosevelt's trophies of the chase, would be merely surplusage, as the Institution already had specimens of all beasts and birds known to the civi lized or uncivilized world. He declared that In his opinion Mr. Roosevelt was going for the purpose of sport, and that this the humane societies were op posed to. Mr. Shanahan said that If he had been called upon to word the petition to the President he would have Inserted the word "harmless" between the words "wild" and "game." so that lions and tigers would have to take their chances with the President. He added, however, that the words "humanity to every helpless creature" at the bottom of the second paragraph of the petition possibly covered the emergency. It has been urged, nevertheless, that the words "helpless creatures" would particularly apply to the Hons and tigers, when used In connection with President Roosevelt's prowess as a hunter. Would Have Arrested Roosevelt. Mr. Shanahan denied any Intention on the part of the society to enter into any sensational crusade, and insisted that the killing of elephants, giraffes, eland, gemsbok. koodoo, gazelles, zebras, water-buck, etc.. as found In Africa, would be a useless slaughter, and quite In keeping with the executive's Colorado bear-hunt. Mr. Shanahan criticised the President for his ride of 90-odd miles on one horse in the same day, and averred that If the President had passed through Portland on such a trip he would have deemed It Ills duty to have had him arrested, and would have done so. Mr. Shanahan said he did not doubt but that the names of several hundred thousand schoolchildren would be forwarded to the President, but he did not harbor a very roseate view of what effect the sending In of the petitions would have. All petitions must be In the hands of Mr. Locke by February 1. 1909. The movement inaugurated by Mr. Locke la decidedly unique, to' say the least, and Its effect on the Presidential mind will be eagerly noted by the country, and by sportsmen In particular. There Is no doubt In the slightest that Mr. Shana han Is thoroughly In earnest In his attitude. Mr. Shanahan organized the Oregon Humane Society, and the society has held exercises In the public schools -.of Portland for 24 years, the last exercises being held In 1905. He believes In the principle that kindness to dumb brutes means a corresponding kindness to our fellow-creatures, and that Inhumanity to beast argues for a corresponding in humanity to man. TO ASSIST YOUNG WOMEN Federation of Women's Clubs Raises Fund. . On Wednesday afternoon the Portland Woman's Club will give a monster card farty. probably the largest ever planned In this city, to aid young women in their desire to become self-helpful and wage earning factors of the community. The Idea is purely a business proposition, and Is in no sense a charitable or philan thropic movement. In order to arouse more interest and greater Impetus, and to make the movement uniform through out the state, the clubwomen of Oregon decided at their last convention of the federation that one day of each year should be designated as "Scholarship Loan Fund Day," and by vote the last Wednesday of January was fixed as the date. The work undertaken by the State Fed eration of Women's Clubs Is a concrete and material expression of the golden rule and Its principles, as exemplified Dy me aocirines oi meso women. not only to hold out a helping hand to those who are not able to begin the work of self-education, but to aid others, who out of meager savings and small earn ings sind the practice of rigid economy, have begun their mental training, but have not been able to complete their courses in their particular line of work, because of lack of funds. These ambitious young women are to be loaned certain sums of money, with out Interest, and with no specific date regarding the liquidation of the loan. The only conditions exacted are that the recipient shall prove her worth and In tegrity, and give a pledge to repay the loan, when she has secured a position, the salary regulating the rate of repay ment. The recipients are In no sense eleemosynaries, since they are expected and bound In honor to repay the sums of money advanced them when they are placed in a situation that will enable them to do so. Each of the affiliated clubs In the fed erated organization will decide for Itself what manner It shall use for contrlbut- DESCENDANT OF PIONEER FAMILY PASSES AWAY.

The local clubwomen will hold their card party In the auditorium of the Ma sonic Temple, and 600. bridge and whist will be the games. An admission fee of 50 cents will be charged, and the club members are anticipating a large at tendance. The object Is primarily to swell the ex isting scholarship fund, eventually . to 110,000, and to keep it as near that amount as possible. The Interest alone on this sum would be sufficient to assist many young women In self-education. There have been many drains on this fund during the past year, as the move ment has proven decidedly attractive and helpful to its actual and prospective beneficiaries. The . number of applica tions for help has been so large that the board has found It necessary to limit the Individual loans to rather modest figures, averaging about $50 to each ap plicant, although In several Instances girls have been loaned 1150 In Install ments. Distribution of the fund is not limited to any particular sect, race. Institution or class of Institutions, and the fund en deavors to obliterate all such distinc tions, desiring chiefly to place help be fore young women in business colleges, kindergarten schools, musical, art and normal schools, etc. The late Miss Helen F. Spalding, .who had developed thla Idea along such splendid lines during the past two years, has been succeeded by Mrs. Frederick Eggert in directing the movement. Mrs. Eggert will have charge of the arrangements for the big card party on Wednesday. CREMATORY BADLY NEEDED DAGGETT APPEALS FOR KEW GARBAGE BURNER. Proposition Is Blade to Vote $250, 000 Bonds for Incinerators on Both Sides of River. Because of the worn-out condition of the garbage crematory, the health of the city Is seriously menaced, ac cording to the declaration of City Health Officer Pohl and Superintendent Daggett, before the ways and means committee of the Council yesterday afternoon. That Immediate steps must be taken to prevent an epidemic of dis ease, is said to be absolutely necessary, and to make the situation the more per plexing, there Is no money available for this purpose. Were It not for the fact that the Council is commanded by a charter amendment to pay Into the Water Department fund $50,000 a year, there would bo sufficient funds with which to build at least one modern crema tory, as there Is a balance of soveral thousand dollars In the general fund after the annual appropriatione are made. However, unless there. Is a means of avoiding this, payment, the only way to secure money for the pur-, pose Is to Issue bonds. Chairman Rushlight, of the ways and means committee, believes that it is wise to ask the City Attorney to ren der an opinion on the situation with regard to the payment of the money to the water fund, which, because no pay ment was made last year, aggregates $100,000 now. Mr. Rushlight says that It 1 absurd for the city to have to pay this amount to the Water Board, but the amendment to the charter, voted at the last election, provides for It. If it Is found that there Is no way to avoid payment to the Water Board, It Is very probable the ways and means committee will recommend the floating of $250,000 bonds, for the erection of two crematories, one on each side of the river. If this is done, It will be many months before the new lnciner aters will be ready, and It Is feared that the old one will not last until then. In fact. Superintendent Daggett is emphatic In the statement that the present crematory will not hold out more than a month or so. Hundreds of tons of garbage are diumped at the crematory, and the pile of decaying matter is growing larger at an alarming rate every day. The old crematory, which was Installed to care for a population ot 70,000, Is said to have 1 - D octois PRESCRIBE THE WORLD'S GREAT MEDICINE Read What Prominent Doctors from All Parts of the Country Say These Letters were xaisen irom xLiuiureus iwtcivcu uum ucouui6 ..

Since the present rise In the Wil lamette River, thousands of rats, driven from their abode along the waterfront, are seeking shelter and food In the up town districts. Naturally, many of them find lodgment In the great piles of gar bage at the crematory; which is located near Guild's Lake. 1 Members of the ways and means com mittee had hoped, until yesterday after noon, to be able to "squeeze" enough out of the department appropriations to provide for at least one crematory, but this could not be done, and the situation is more serious than ever.
