Senator Simon appeared greatly Interested In the proceedings which were calm and peaceful In com parison with many sessions of the Council. The routine of business was Interrupted at 10:S0 o'clock by the ar rival of Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh and a deputation of members of the Women's ( nristlan Temperance Union, laden with beautiful bouquets of choice roses and flowers for Dr. lAne. who expressed great pleasure at receipt of the tokens of friendship. "These are very appropriate." said Mayor Lane, as he accepted the bou quets, which were handed to him by Head Janitor Simmons. The Mayor was looking at the flowers admiringly as was his successor In office, when Councilman Baker said: "They all signify purity.'- "No. Mr. Baker, you are mistaken," said Mayor Lane, "they symbolise friendship. I think." "If I be privileged to speak, I will say that we certainly intende'd them to signify purity," said Mrs. Unruh. "Well. It is very kind of you, I am sure, thus to remember me," said the Mayor with deep feeling, "and I wish to express my heartfelt thanks." Richards Gets Liquor License.

Councilman Baker recommended that a license be granted to Richards, whose establishment he said he had Investi gated on behalf of the Council, and had found It as good as any others and . better than some. He wished It under- stood that he did not care whether the license was granted, he said, as the ' Impression had gotten abroad that he was making a fight to secure the license for Richards. Mr. Baker said that, since Mayor Lane raided Richards' place three years ago. It has been run strictly according to the laws, and that there Is no reason why It should be discriminated against by the Council. Stark Street Extension Goes Over. The recommendation of the street committee that Stark street, from Thir teenth to Burnslde streets, be opened, was not adopted, and the entire matter was referred back to the viewers, with Instructions to reassess and Include everything down to Front street, so that the cost of the proposed Improve ment will not fall so heavily upon the taxpayers west of Fifth street, the or iginal line of assessment. An ordinance, the terms of which require public dancehalls to close at midnight, was passed. This will give the police power to compel all of these places to cease activity at the hour named.

Following hls arrest Tuesday, clad in several suits of clothes, Cho yes terday admitted that he and three of his countrymen reached Portland as stow aways in the chain locker of the Arabia, an Oriental liner, on Its last passage from Hongkong. The other three Chinese have not been apprehended but Inspector Barbour Is expending his best efforts to secure from Cho an lndentlficatlon of the members of the Arabia crew who were responsible for unlawfully landing the quartet in the United States. In his confession to Inspector Barbour yesterday, Cho said that he and his three associates were emuggled aboard the Arabia at Hongkong and secreted in the chain locker where they remained for over a month until the liner reached this city. The Celestial further informed the Immigration authorities that the four stowaways were supplied with meals and generally cared for during the trip by members of the crew, all of Whom are Chinese. "I have been satisfied for some time that Chinese were being brought into this country unlawfully," said Inspector Barbour yesterday, "but not until we ap prehended Cho did we ht.ve sufficient evi dence to warrant makhig an arrest. So far as we have proceeded with our In vestigation, we do no suspect the offi cers of the Arabia of participating in the smuggling game. The vessel is manned by Chinese entirely and It is members of the crew we have under suspicion. We hope to be able satisfactorily to identify the guilty ones and put a stop to this plot, which I have no doubt has been in operation for some time, as well as ef fectively to discourage others from en gaging ln the same business." Hu Wah, steward of the Arabia. Is suspected of being the leader of this smuggling gang although he has not been positively identified by Cho as one of the men who supplied him with meals during the voyage. Cho was taken before United States Commissioner Cannon yesterday for a hearing preliminary to his deporta tion. Tha hearing, however, was post poned until Friday afternoon in hope that the other three foreigners may be lo cated and the guilty members of the crew apprehended ln the meantime. Accompanied by the Immigration offi cials, Cho will today be taken aboard the Arabia and shown the membe of tha crew for the purpose of identifying the men wno took mm aDoard the vessel and cared for him between Honsrkone- Portland. It is a certainty that Cho will uo iKiiunea as ne nas admitted he Is un lawfully ln the United States. The Arabia is loading ber at the Inman-Poulson mill for Han kow, China. It expects to complete its ana leave tnis port early next week. ORDER IS CAUSE OF PROTEST Seattle Official Tries to Discriminate Against Portland. In a letter forwarded to Senate nAi,n. yesterday by Postmaster Toung the as- ui mo oenwor is asked to pre vent the enforcement of an order recently Issued by P. Q. Whiting, chief clerk of the railway mail service at Seattle. In sub stance the order proposes that several mail tic naving their resi dences In this city Bhall, beginning July 1, "head out" from Seattle or forfeit an advance in salary of $300 recently allowed them by the department. Postmaster Toung and the clerks af fected by the pending order are up ln arms over the action of Whiting, which they declare is arbitrary and in no way concerns the best interests of the rail way mail service. They have brought to the attention of Senator Bourne the fact that of 18 clerks employed in this service between Portland and Seattle six have lived in Portland for over ten years. An enforcement of the order would oblige several of. these clerks to remove to Seattle at considerable expense. Post master Young requests Senator Bourne "to present the matter before the Postoffice Department at Washington, and unless better reasons can be given for the issu ance of the order than have been offered by the division superintendent an effort will be made to have It rescinded. DATA TO CONVINCE CONGRESS Toung Collects Figures as Basis of Plea for Postoffice. Comprehensive statistics showing the growth of Portland in population, wealth and business during the last ten years have been compiled and forwarded to Washington by Postmaster Young as con vincing proof of the need of a new post office building ln this city and for which Senator Bourne has Introduced a bill carrying an appropriation of $2,500,000 Submitted with the figures are copies of letters from -the various commercial or ganizations of the city and from the different Federal officials, who. by rea son of lack of accommodations in, the iff'" -v i ii :it j. j 'It matters not the kind of style (if the shape is proper), be it a straw sailor or the dressy derby, you will find your wants readily sup plied in our Beaver Hats at $3.00.

All these communi cations testify to the need . for a new Federal building where all of the offices maintained by Uncle Sam ln this city may be quartered under the same roof. The statistics show that the population of the city has more than doubled ln the last ten years, while the annual gross postal receipt's in nine years Increased from $209,725 to $691,040. Comparative sta tistics covering the last decade also are submitted as to bank clearings, building permits, customs receipts, imports, ocean tonnage entered and cleared, exports of wheat, flour and lumber; property valu ations and real estate transfers! The number of telephones in use in the city has increased from 9179 in 1902 to 31 079 for the current year. Exhaustive figures are presented showing the volume of business transacted in the different de partments of the postoffice as compared with the records of the same transac tions ten years ago. The data compiled by Postmaster Young show further that the Government now r?"8 froiri- private property-owners 16, 386.5 square feet of floor space for the accommodation of different branches of the service that cannot be accommodated ln the main postoffice building. For this rented space the Government pays an annual rental of $16,492.37. WATTS IS ORDERED TO IDAHO Indication That Land Fraud Cases Are to Be Resumed. Special Agent Watts, who has been oonnected with the office of United States Attorney McCourt in this city for some time, was yesterday advised by a telegram from Attorney -General WIckersham to proceed to Idaho for "Important work." Just what work Mr. Watts Is to perform ln Oregon's neighboring state Is not known, but It is surmised strongly that the Govern ment proposes to conclude its Investi gation of alleged land-frauds in that state. These prosecutions were tem porarily abandoned several weeks ago. United States Attorney McCourt was not ln the city yesterday, but Deputy District Attorney Evans said he had no knowledge of the transfer of Watts or what was behind it. For some time Mr. Watts has been conducting an In vestigation pertaining to public lands In Union County. He probably will proceed direct from La Grande to his new field of labor. ,Admits Fencing Federal Land. Anton Vey, by his attorney, G. W. Phelps, yesterday appeared before United States Judge Wolverton and entered a plea of guilty to an indict ment charging him with unlawfully inclosing about 400 acres of Govern ment land in Umatilla County. The United States Attorney's office asked that sentence be postponed until the Government could receive further re ports as to whether or not the ob jectionable fences had been removed. The request was granted. FAIR WANTS BIG GRANT WINNIPEG ASKS GOVERNMENT FOR $1,000,000. Canadian City Will Not Hold Expo sition Unless Success Is Cer ' tain, Says Visitor. Just a million acres of land or $1,000,000 in currency is all that the Cen tennial Exposition committee of Winni peg is asking of Premier Laurier as a guarantee that the exposition to be held at Winnipeg in 1912 will be a success. according to R. D. Taylor, a Winnipeg real estate man, a guest at the Commer cial Club yesterday. "Tho Premier thought we were asklnz a little too much," said Mr. Taylor, "and l am atrald we shall not get that much. The reason we asked at all was that we know that the exposition held at Port land was one of the few expositions that have ever been successful, and that was because of the large Government grant." Mr. Taylor was corrected on this point and expressed much surprise that Port land and Oregon should have done so much to carry on the big fair of 1905. Speaking of the Seattle Exposition. Mr. Taylor depreciated it considerably when maktng a comparison with the Portland fair. "We shall never be able to get up anything as fine as the Portland exposition." he said, "but we are ' going to try hard to see if we can't do almost as" well as Seattle has. The grounds there are splendid and the disadvantage we labor under is that we have no really good site for the Centennial Exposition. The Centennial Exposition Is to be ln commemoration of the settlement of the country around Winnipeg on the Red River, 100 years ago. Winnipeg people are Inclined to be very cautious and do not want to enter Into the exposition unless they aro sura the Eastern Cana dian cities will give Winnipeg their sup port. Mr. Taylor said the Eastern cit ies were so cautious they were inclined to think the Winnipeg Idea rather bump tious. For himself. Mr. Taylor was decidedly pessimistic ln his. utterances regarding the exposition. He admitted it would be a great thing for the city, but there had been no very gratifying response to the Invitation for subscriptions. Asked regarding Prince Rupert, the much-boomed western terminus of the C. P. R., Mr. Taylor said: "On my way up from San Francisco to Portland I was pointed out Coos Bay. Now, the situation is Just this: If Jim Hill or Mr. Harrlman build a railroad into rvin J Bay it would be like Coos Bay people don't let any thing dis suade you from a Pianola Piano Purchase now a sit uation such as this will never arise again Never heretofore, not even in New York, has it been possible to show such a tremendous number of latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and in the various superb and costly woods and finishes used only by the world-renowned makers of this magnificent art product. Six solid carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them the latest styles, were shipped to Eilers Piano House through an awkward misunderstanding on the part of our buyer and the manufacturers. Rather than to return the bigger portion of these instruments to the fac tories at additional cost for freight charges, insurance, etc., we have decided to accept them. All of these instruments are now being displayed at Eilers Piano House. ' i Never again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb a variety of styles and designs. V There's many a "silent" piano in many a home, where there ought to be a Pianola Piano, a genuine Pianola Piano, an instrument that is not "mechan ical," but, on the contrary, makes it possible for every member of the family to produce the choicest of music with perfect individuality and expression. We are now prepared to take such "silent pianos" in part payment for one of these very latest Metrostyle and Themodist Pianola Pianos, and we will make it an object for any owner of such old-style piano to do business with us now. Will arrange most unusual liberal terms of payment for any responsible buyer not wishing on the spur of the moment to pay the difference in cash. If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time to see about it at Eilers Piano House, Retail Department; "the always busy corner" at Park (Eighth) and Washington streets. to say that they would outrun Portland ln 20 years. It is the same at Prince Rupert. People went mad over the place, lots brought from $1000 to $16,000 each and many sold at the latter figure. Those who buy and forget they have bought for ten years will make money." Mr. Taylor said large parties of peo ple from Oregon were going to Canada and purchasing wheat lands, because the land could bo obtained at a reasonable figure. EXHIBIT IS BIG FEATURE OREGON BUILDING AT FAIR ALWAYS THRONGED. Views of State and Orchestra Con cert Alternate on Programme Each Afternoon. Oregon's superb exhibit at the A-T-P Exposition is attracting visitors in such numbers as to tax the capacity of the big Oregon building at all hours. This is the report of W. H. Wehrung, presi dent of the Oregon Commission, who arrived from Seattle yesterday to spend a few days in Portland perfect ing arrangements for Portland and Oregon days at the exposition. "The Oregon building Is thronged with visitors at all times," said Mr. Wehrung. "The exhibits awaken a wonderful enthusiasm among visitors from all sections of the country, and particularly from the East- Oregon's resources are fittingly revealed ln the various displays in the building, and this big exhibit is easily one of the features of the exposition. "Visitors are entertained every day by a programme which includes alternating moving pictures and or chestra concerts. Beginning at 1:15 each afternoon moving pictures and colored slides are shown, the subjects dealing with Oregon. The pictures con tinue 20 minutes and then follows 'a concert of 20 minutes duration. This alternating programme continues until night. "I expect a tremendous ' turnout of Oregon people for Oregon day, July 9," aaaea mr. vvenrung. : "Oregon is al ready sending visitors ln large num bers. Portland day will be another big event at the fair. The programme for the two days will be out soon." Grimes Represents Coos Bay. MARSH FIELD, Or., June 23. (Spe cial.) Dr. J. T.
