A communication from the Hillshoro Board of Trade was received -by Mavor Lane yesterday morning, ln which the president. J. p. Tamiesie. states In his ltter that the organization wishes to have notice as to any meeting at which the officials of the United Railways Com pany seek a modification of the franchise granted them by the Council last year. The Board of Trade will protest against any action of the Council that will per mit : the company to operate streetcars r, the Portland city limits before the line Is completed to Hlllsboro. The Council wrangled over the fran chise of the United Railways Company lor a long time, and finally granted It one of the provisions being that the line must be completed to Hlllsboro before any cars may be operated over the sys tem within the limits of Portland. Any violation of this clause, it is stipulated will automatically forfeit the franchise, together with the track and equipment of the company, and it will therefore be necessary for the Council to modify this If the company is to begin operation of cars before the completion of the road to Hlllsboro. This can be done by granting a revocable permit, but thus far no for mal application for the modification has been made. The communication was sent by the Mayor to Auditor Barbur. and ' will be submitted to the Council today. Officials of the TInlteil nall.. statement ln the matter last night, but -cvcioi uays ago announced that they would build to Tillamook without touch ing Hlllsboro. HAS RICH FUND OF YARNS Admiral Evans' Lecture Is Replete With Anecdotes. Leading the greatest American warship fleet ever assembled around Cape Horn from Himpton Roads to San Francisco, Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans may be expected to have a story of surpassing Interest to tell when he lectures here on the night of March 31, at the Armory. "vr, w u. leuow-omcer, who ought to know, Admiral Evans has a larger and more varied fund of tales of the sea than any other man who reached high command on the ocean under the Stars and Stripes. Commander Watson of the naval recruit ing office at St. Louis recalls a conver sational Item of the above description that he was privileged to listen to and it fully bears out "Fighting Bob's" reputation. A number of years ago when relations be tween the United States and Chile were strained, the Admiral was in command of the Yorktown, an unarmored cruiser, at the time ln the harbor of Valparaiso. The ship was surrounded by Chilean naval craft, any one of which was more than a match for Evans' command. One day the order came for the Chileans to keep their vessels moving around the Yorktown ln regular processional order and this business soon got on the Admiral's nerves. He called the Chilean port Admiral and without any preliminaries "'IT ' "See here, I am getting1'1 T ce boats moving about mt ' le of them touches the etVj"""0rT ol our booms. I'll raise such aS7inmotion that all hell will smell the garlic." Needless to say, the procession- was stopped and Admiral Evans was left un disturbed. The famous sea fighter will appear here under the auspices of the Commercial Club. The seat sale will open at the club office tomorrow and will continue there until Friday night. Thereafter seats will be on sale at Rowe & Martin's drugstore. All seats reserved. NORMAL TO RMAIN OPEN AYeston Will Maintain School Throughout Rest of Year. That the normal school at Weston will be continued until the close of the term ending in June is the announce ment made by President R. C. French who was in , Portland yesterday. Funds for the continuance of the school were raised by the residents of Weston, Athena and Pendleton, amounting to over $3000. which has been turned over to the Board of Regents to be handled by them. The fund for the maintenance of the school was started at a mass meeting or the citizens of Weston. In a short time there was enough- to assure the running of the school for the remainder of the season, although the teachers will not be paid full salaries. Many of the pupils and teachers contributed to the cause, even those students who were working their way through. "We now have an enrollment of 185 ln the normal school," said President French, "and there are 175 pupils in the training department. There was $6000 spent in furnishings six years ago and several additions since then."- MOUNT TABOR PROPERTY We have for sale the very choicest property in the Mount Tabor district, on Hawthorne avenue, near East Fifty-fifth street, one or two acres, highly Improved This can be platted and a good profit realized.

CITY SET SNEEZING Quick Weather Changes Bring Epidemic of Colds. CARELESSNESS REAL CAUSE Physicians Warn Public to Avoid Exposure, at Same Time Explain ing That Prevalent Malady Is Not L Grippe. That the present epidemic of 'so-called la grippe is the worst that has visited Portland In several years Is the opinion or several physicians in this city. The malady has made many people Its victims and for several days sneezing and head aches have been prevalent. According to a well-known phystcian 15 cases out of every 20 are not la grippe at all. but only colds caused by -exposure to the weather. A majority of people do not take f.?re.? themselves." said this physician. In the last few days We have had some changeable weather, which Is, perhaps, the Immediate cause of the Illness. While there is a nice period of weather, and the people are enjoying it there comes - a shower of rain. The people go out in this and get their feet or their bodies wet. and then are not careful about changing their clothing. Then they go home, live ... mums ana overeat, which makes It all the worse. "What is most necessary to' do is to sleep with a door or window open, so that the fresh air can circulate throughout the room eat only what one needs and masti cate that well, take daily exercise and a cold bath every morning. Men who fol low the latter custom have the consti tutions of iron men and they are not affected by all the little ailments that or dinary people are prone to contract. It's nothing but carelessness and ignorance, and many times laziness, that cause colds. Dr. Ferdinand H. Dammasch, in a paper read before the Medical Society a few months ago had the following to say about influenza, commonly known as la grippe: ir.I.n,flU?nza 18 an acu- self-limited infec toidS f-t" occHrrln& ,n y distributed eDiaemles and characterized by catarrhal nTeVSES1 0t thZ Prator?ranTga.?ro t?,rtf.i 1 muSosa- by profound nervous dis turbances and bv extreme debility.
