Whtbr a Btr bulMinr hll b built at a eot of approximately i00. 009. or added quarter adjacent to the present clu! building hll be leaed. lll b con aide red by the board of gov ernors of the, Portland Commercial Club at Its meeting tomorrow noon. Tha question waa raised In the. last an nual address of President Beckwlth. who said: Tha securing, or rather the build ing of a new club la a matter of seri ous consideration. The present quar ter cannot ba enlarged.. A new build ing Is a necessity." Quarters Are Deficient. Tha present quarters are notably de ficient Id apace for the kitchen and dining-rooms- Because of the rapidly Increasing membership there has been a serious coosrestlon during the noon hour, when the business men have lunch. Measures to relieve thia condi tion have been debated seriously. It Is the belief of President Be-kwlth that a new bulldlna would aervV the purposes of the club more effli-lently ttian any temporary measure. u u been suggested by others that leases be made of the property of Russel Blytn. west of the Commercial Club hull. ling, and with Leo Frlede. who owna the three-story building north. It Is said that Mr. Frlede la willing to enter Into negotiations for a lease which would contemplate Increasing the height of tha present three-story building to five stories, but this would necessitate strengthening the founda tion of the present structure. The subject will be considered brief ly at tomorrow"a meeting of the board of governors, the chief business of which will b the election of officers for the ensuing year. It Is under stood that the "Insurgent" members elected to the board Saturday night will ask for the appointment of a bll- Mard-room eommlttee- fterkwltb to 1 Ke-elccted. It Is said that the board la a unit for the re-election of Harvey Beck with as president. F.. B. Piper as vlce presl.ient and Frank H. Ransom aa treasurer. W. J. Hofmann has declined to serve as secretary for smother term. Expressions of aatlsfsctlon with the- splendid financial condition of the club are general. "We are well pleased with the re sult of the election." said George M. McDowell, one of the most active of the "Insurgents." yesterday. "Of course there were only three of us elected and the board of governors as constituted consists of IS members. If there should be a division we could have little ef fect, as the board of governors at present Is united In Its policies. We have no particular plans except the ap pointment of a committee to look after the btlllard-rooin. That Is a amall matter and I have no doubt the board will grant our request. "The Commercial Club board electa for three-year terms live members to the board each year. Thus ten are on the beard when the new members come Into office. It In a mistake to think that there are dissensions In the club. We have our club differences, such aa the best way to run the bllllard-room. Increasing the cooking department and a few Incidental thing like that, but to asy we have serious difficulties would be foreign to the facts." BOYS FIND MAN'S BODY Stranger Who Commits Suicide Writes He tongs to Die. . The body of an unidentified man was found Saturday In the brush ' near tha Portland Flouring Mill. In the lower harbor. He had evidently committed suicide by taking strychnine. Some boys found the body. A note waa found addressed to "Miss B. B.. General Delivery. Lo Angelee." In which the writer said he "longed to be dead." The Coroner took charge of the body. For dry fir and hardwood call E SOS and C 2303. Edlefsen Fuel Co.. Inc.

Janasry SU H.nry Thurs ton takes carbolic acid at Flftt.nth and OMsaa streets and Is found dead on sidewalk. "I have had an awful time and I am going to end It. I am going down town and get good and drunk and then end It all." Thus In a letter to a friend, carried In his pocket ready for mailing. Henry Thurston, a young bottler, announced the purpose which he carried out. by drinking IS cents worth of -carbolic acid at. Fifteenth and Glisan streets, within a few blocks of his home, about midnight Saturday. The body waa found by two late paesersby at 1 ocIock yesterday morn ing, and Patrolman Robson was sent to take charge of It. When the pa trolman arrived the body was still warm, and the officer, to take ad vantage of any lingering spark of life, caused it to be carried to St. Vln cent'a Hospital, where the surgeons an nounced that death already had .come. Even-then it was not discovered that violence had occurred, and the cause of death was set down as heart failure. Not until the body reached the custody of the Coroner was It found that poison had been used. A receipt from a drug store for 25 centa worth of carbolic acid was In one of the pockets. A pawn ticket for S3 lent on two rings, was also found, and la taken to Indi cate that Thurston was not In affluent circumstances. He lived with his mother and several brothers and sis ters at 207 North Fifteenth street, and had been employed In a bottling worka until recently. Thurston had In his pocket a letter to Chief of Police Cox asking him to make -a aearch for a sister, who had left home. The letter was sent to its destination. Thurston had written, earlier In the day, a letter to Jacob Hencemann. at Stockton. Cal.. announcing his Inten tion. In It he inclosed a little lock of golden hair, clipped, he said," from his head, when he was 3 yeara old. and which he wished Hencemann to have because he had been the writer's best friend. Sorrow over the misfortunes of a sis ter may have caused his rash act. "GUM Jl, HIM STAY" Police Interdict 'fV.elly Bad,' Says Chinatown Chief. ORIENTAL NEW YEAR QUIET Local Chinese Mourn Iiecanse Xo 'oise Is Allowed to Drive Away God of Misrule--L'nlucky Year Is Doleful Prediction. Gum Jl. lord of misrule and chief of Celestial demonology, rubs Us hands gleefully and grins with joy, at the prospect of a fat year ' in Portland. Scourged as he has been, out of town with the appearance of each new year, he has prospered generously in the past, but now he sits In the near dis tance, waiting until the incantations are over, to return to his work of mischief for another twelve months. Tong wars, commercial disasters, po lice raids and miscellaneous bad luck are due to descend upon Chinatown, through the interference of the City Council with the .precautionary, meas ures, which from time immemorial have been taken to foil the machinations of the great devil. Only one lonesome bunch of crackers sputtered at the turn of 'the night, yes- terday, to wins'"- - ----- waa set off at the very door of the police station. Its effect upon the demon Is held by Chinatown to be hlKhly unsatisfactory. With the barring of explosives, Chinatown contented Itself as best It could, with displays of gaudy bunting and flags. The younger generation was garbed in all its gladdest clothing. Promenade of little slant-eyed men and women made a gorgeous sight throughout the district yesterday. Hecatombs of chicken and pork were sacrificed in every dwelling. It was a quiet inauguration of the New Tear, and it is with as little favor among the devotees of the cus tom, as was the sane Occidental New Year by grill-room celebrants. "Velley bad; Gum Jl him stay all year," says Chun Chung. Mayor f Chinatown. WALLA WALLA HAS PLAM CITY 'VVOIXD BE APPLE CENTER FOIl NORTHAVEST.

That Walla Walla, In securing th& next meeting of the1 Northwest Apple growers, who are engaged in perfect ing a selling organization, has a well defined ambition to become the center of the Northwestern apple market. Is regarded as certain' by men familiar with the subject. There will be sev eral candidates for the honor, Port land being among the chief of them. Portland's advocates will contend that their city not only is the natural gateway for distribution, but that it has superior advantages in combined water and rail transportation facili ties. The harbor, it will be contended; is a natural outlet to the ports of the world. With the completion of the Panama Canal, apples for Atlantic Sea board cities will be transported by re frigerator vessels. Freight rates by canal are expected to be as low as 40 per cent of the present rail rate. It now costs in the neighborhood of J23.i to secure the delivery of a carload of Hood River apples in New York City. By way of the Panama Canal, the cost would be not to exceed $100, a saving of $135 a car. The amount saved by cold storage ships In a year would ' mean several million dollars to th apple producers of the Northwest. Edlefsen's coals are the very best.
