CHINA 'IS ALREADY AWAKE

IK-al AMX-latlon thoi
Procress In Year.
"Chin lias advanced almost year
In civilisation within the past 1 years."
declared r if teller S. Brotkman. National
secretary of the Young Men's Christian
A. solution lunt nlcht. at the annual
mfflim of the Portland Association,
which was attended by several hunrir d
member. Great proirresa of the Port
land Y. JI. C. A. in the past year and
past d'-cj'te was emphasized at the meet
ing, as were the practical results that
are being accomplished, but the feature
of the Kathcrinr was undoubtedly Mr.
Hmknuo'i aawrttons concerning China,
the commercial Importance of that coun
try to the 1'aclnc Coast and the part the
Y. M. C A. Is play Ins; In developing the
Orient.
"Yours; men who come to the Pacific
Coast sometimes get discoursed and
want to return Hast to go bark home."
sAid Mr. Ilrockman. "My advice to them
Is to stay and share In the development
that Is certain to come to these Coast
cities. 'Why. the Parltta Coast haa half
of the wurid'a population at Its very
doors and that population Is rapidly be
coming modernised, acquiring the same
commercial needs as other civilised coun
tries. Its Importance to the United
States cannot be overestimated.
Orient I Near Portland.
"Shanghai and the other Oriental cities
are nearer to Portland today. In cost of
transportation, than Buffalo waa to New
York City a generation ago. You cannot
ignore the Orient. This country, and
particularly this Coast, cannot turn back
the trade of the Far Kast, for which
Germany and England are striving so
hard: they should form closer relations
with the Orient. Iy this I do not mean
that we should rescind the exclusion
Jaw. China and Japan are as anxious
to retain their laboera at home as Amer
ica Is to bar them out.
But we must realise that the awaken
ing of China Is already here. In the past
five years China -haa progressed more
rapidly than Japan ever did In any 10
years In politics. In Industries and in
education. In dealing with the young
Chinese, we are dealing- with men of
similar Ideas, ambitions and Intelligence
to Amerirans and Kuropvana. This fart
Is making more easy the work of the
Y. M. C. A. abroad, and the Y. M. C A.
Is bringing about results that were not
even hoped for a few years ago."
Mr. lirockman told many deanlte Inci
dents to show the results that are being
attained by the Y. M. C. A. tn China and
Japan. lie also described the recent
meeting at the White House, where
t.i.'o waa subscribed to the Y. M. C. A.

COMPROMISE NOW LIKELY
Portland Hotel Factions to Agree,
la Rumor.
Ror the first time In many montha
tha dove of peace appears -to ba hover-
f
Ing over tha Portland HoteL Tha Day
and Norman factlona that have been In
a controversy over the control of the
big hostelry are showing indications
of compromise and overtures of peace
may be made to or by tha board of di
rectors, when It meets today for tha
regular monthly transaction of busi
ness. Since tha Norman were ousted last
Summer by tha Day Interests, who ob
tained control of tha hotel by pooling;
with Attorney George W. Joseph, who
cast the vote of two shares of stock
held by the Fleckenstein. estate in
their favor, there have been wide dif
ferences between the two factions.
The board of directors under control
of tha Day Interests has since mapped
out tha policy of the hotel and gona
hud with e.ontemDlated Improve
ments, which Included an addition of
S00 rooms to be bunt in tna coun
tha hotel and extensive remodeling of
tha dining and grill rooms. Recently
tha Normans obtained some old sharea
of atock subscribed 20 years ago and
held in England. Payments had not
been made on the stock, but the Nor
mans acquired the holding and a
month ago tendered the amounts due
with accrued interest, to the board of
directors and asked that certtflcatea of
stock be Issued therefor. The directors
refused to issue the certlficatea on tha
ground that the stock had been for
feited on account of nonpayment of In
stallments. The Normans took the op
posite Tlew. contending that the stock
had not been cancelled and threatened
suit to compel the directors to issue
the certificates of stock.
With litigation staring the board of
directors In the face and a possibility
of the Normans again coming Into
control of the hotel. If the courts
should decide the stock they acquired
In England la still good, plana for the
extensive Improvements were tempor
arily abandoned, although It waa the
original Intention of tha Daye to start
work the first of the year. Under
these circumstances things were
brought to a standstill.
It was Intimated by certain sources
yesterday that the Daya and Normans
may now get together and settle their
differences out of court. It Is conceded
by both sides that the present situation
Is not In the best interests of the hotel
and the quickest wsy to put an end to
a controversy that has done neither
side good Is an amicable settlement In
,the way of a compromise.

SAXD ISLAND BOVK OF BOCX
DART CONTENTION.
PLUM HOT PLUCKED
Effect of Outcome on Co-operation
for River Improvement Makes
Situation Delicate.
Tha Oregon committee of the Oregon-Washington
Boundary Commission
met yesterday to discuss the contro
versy wtct the boundary line between
the two statea and come to an agree
ment. If possible, on what compromises
should be offered the Washington com
mittee. The Oregon committee wants
to effect a compromise and settle for
all time tha boundary Una between the
states.
The obstscla In the way of settlement
Is Sand Island. Washington wants the
Island because It Is In Its '"back yard."
being virtually connected with the
mainland during the dry season, while
the distance to the Oregon shore from
Sand Inland Is about three miles. The
island does not belong to the state of
Oregon. It was bought from the state
several years ago by the Government
for defense purposes, but the state re-tala-rd
fishing rights. All the value
of the land to the elate now consists
of about fiOO a year fishing license
fees.
It Is understood that the Washington
committee virtually agreed to ray tha
state of Oregon 120.000 for the rights of
Sand Island and throw In severa'
small Islands farther up the river. If
a boundary line near the middle of the
river could be fixed as a permanent
dividing line. The Oregon committee
is disposed to settle the dispute, to
avert future litigation, which It con
siders likely at any time so long as
there Is no official demarcation that
fixes the Jurisdiction of the two states.
Another and more far reaching ef
fect Is feared If settlement Is not
made. That Is. an unfriendly feeling
In the big Washington delegation In
Congress that might place obstacles in
the way of appropriations for Improve,
merits of the Columbia River. It Is
pointed out that Washington has Pu
get Sound and Is not dependent upon
the Columbia River, while Oregon has
the river at its only outlet to deep
water transportation. The situation Is
delicate and the committee la desirous
of coming to an amicable adjustment,
but haggling over Sand Island by As
toria Interests has prevented a settlement.

Grocer Sees Robber but Does Not
Suspect Deep Plot.
Seeing a heavy-set man, wearing a
dark cap. blue Jumper and overalls, and
holding a large sack outside his window
before o'clock yesterday morning, did
not arouse the suspicions of Lloyd Rice,
who keeps a small grocery at Third and

Kice went out to the bread box to get
H loaves, he was astonished to find but
two left, which the thief hud left prob
ably because be was unable to carry

Rica realized that the man he saw with
th csack was not the bread man leaving
the mornlng'a order, but the thief with
a sack stealing a large quantity of the

BOISE, Idaho. Jan. 10. (Special.)
Because he Is alleged to be Indebted to
the State of Idaho in the sum of sev
eral thousand dollars, the Senate to
day refused to ratify the appointment
made by Governor Hawley, of Isaac C
Hattabaugh. of Idaho County, as State
Insurance Commissioner. It asked for
further time to consder charges against
Hattabaugh. The Senate probably will
refuse to confirm this appointment.
All other appointments, with the ex
ception of Sam Rich as Immigration
Commlssoner, were ratified. That of
Rich was held up w th the understand
ing he shall take over the office on
February .
Senator Ravenel . MacBeth. minority
leader, resigned today as a member of
the rtate affairs committee, thereby
causing a sensation. He explained he
took the action because of the. fact
that the Democrats did not have equl
representation to the Republicans. All
Investigations of state officials there
fore will be handled by Republican
members.
The House delivered a blow to the
Sunday rest law by launching a bill so
amending the law as to allow theaters,
moving picture shows, cigar, shoe
stands and bakeries to remain open.
This bill announces the doom of the
rest law.
Other bills provide for the creation
of two additional Judicial districts and
an Increase of the membership of tha
Legislature.

Look All Around
Look Everywhere
But Don't Buy of Anybody No Matter What Kind of a
Talk They Put Up Till You Have Seen These Beau
tiful "Cote" Pianos, at 361 Morrison Street, and Its
Prices Today.
c
We Are Going to Sell Fine, Brand New "Cote" Pianos
Today for Less Money Than One Party's "Second
Hands," Another Party's "Water Soaked," and for
Less Than HALF the "Puzzle Scheme" Prices.
We want everybody who is thinking piano, or who may be induced to
think piano by the many "hurrah sales" supposedly "bargain" sales, that
are now being worked on the public in the way of Beoond-hand "job lots"
and "what-not," "fire sales," guessing contests, and "puzzle" schemes
many of which means more money and less piano. We want .all who may
be induced to think piano by these hurrah affairs, to know that the "Cote"
Piano Manufacturing Company, who are piano builders, and who never re
tailed pianos, except in this one instance here at rortiana, wncre we tnrougu
billing error shipped here five carloads of pianos of the wrong styles, and
therefore had to sell them ourselves or ship them back four thousand miles
to the factory at Fall River, Mass., at an expense of over $3000 for freight
both ways. We want you to know that we still have left in our temporary
ware-room at 361 Morrison street corner of Park about thirty of the
finest and most beautiful styles of our "Cote" piano, which may be had
right now brand new at our "factory cost sale" for less money than you
can buy a second-hand piano of "Joblots," or a water-soaked, dangerous
piano at some other place, or even below the price of the cheap, low-grade
stencil piano usually gotten in to work off on the public in "prize puzzle"
schemes.
In other words we are selling a fine, brand new, superior grade piano
of our own manufacture right here now, at 361 Morrison 6treet, for less
money than a dealer can buy the same thing, or its egual, at the factory and
set it down here in Portland. '
Every dealer in this city knows that we are selling pianos here far
below the price any retail dealer could possibly sell pianos of its class and
live, but they'll tell you a very different story when they have any idea
vou are favorably impressed with the "Cote" and its prices.
They arvery sore at us, but we had to sell, and don't care what they
think, and if you see and hear a "Cote" at our prices you won't care what
they think either.
Look around, but don't buy of anybody no matter what kind of a talk
they put up till you have seen these beautiful Cotes and they have got
no finer, better, or more beautiful, as well as durable piano, no matter what
the price. ,
You will make a big mistake, if you go to buying "risks,' or somebody s
refuse, or bite at cheap "puzzle" scheme stuff, and overlook the legitimate
real piano bargain sale, where you could have bought a piano of its maker i
for less money than your dealer could buy it for and set it down here in
Portland. ... -v .. !
Why should you pay somebody a profit when you don t nave toi voni
be foolish; look around. If anybody can save you money on a piano it is
its maker. If anybody stands anxiously and honestly back of a piano it is
also its maker. We can and will do both.
