In the short year that rve has been here he has made probably more friends among all t larses of people than any ono man ever has gained anywhere In the same l-gtli of time, it was an occasion of ip regret a few daya ago when It f as announced definitely for the first time that Mr. Grav was about to leave. His numerous friends were greatly disappointed yesterday when they learned that he will have to go almost Immediately. As a humble manifestation of th ppreeiation that the people of Ore rnn hold fr the valuable services that Mr. Grav has rendered the city In the year that he has been here It Is prob able that a public function will be given In his honor by one of the com mercial organizations before he leaves. "It Is mighty hard for me to leave Portland." said Mr. Gray yesterday. "This certainly is a wonderful town.

Veaasi Atteada Ceafereaee. Mr. Young and Mr. Gray wera In conference nearly all day. They left over t!ie North Bank last night In Mr. Gray's private car. Mr. Young U well known to railroad men throughout the Northwest as "Joe" Young. He has given almost his entire life to the rail way service. He Is a native of Salt Lake City, having been born there January IT. Hi. He was educated In the schools of that city and at the University of 1 tan and entered the railway service In lSi as office boy and warehouseman fr the t'tah Central Hallway at Sandy Station. Utah, following which time he was consecutively agent and operator at various stations, and bill clerk at the Salt Lake City station. From IS J to lis he was ticket clerk for the Union Pacific and train agent for the same road at Ogden. In the subse quent three years he was traveling passenger agent for the Chicago 4: Northwestern at Salt Ijake City, and from IDS) to ISM he was general ag-nt at Salt Lake for the Salt Lake K st ern Hallway and general superintend ent of the Utah Central. In tha II years beginning early In 11 he was superintendent of the Utah division of the Union Pacific system, now tha Oregon Short Line. From Au gust i. 10:. to December 1. 1J04. be was general superintendent of the Rio Grande Western, now a part of tha iTnver A Klo Grande. Kurlng tha fol lowing year he was general superin tendent of the Colorado Southern. While he was with the Colorado Jb Southern that property was purchased by the Burlington road, which is con trolled by James J.

In Alaska. These properties are controlled by tha Guggenheim-Morgan syndicate. rasslly Centes fa Peftlaad. Mrs. Tnung and their daughter now live In Seattle, and It la probable that they will Join him here and prepare to take up their residence In Portland within the next few weeks. While Mr. Gray. In his year's stay in Portland, has shown a wonderfnl ca pacity for work and has accomplished many notable Improvements for the lines that he represents, as well as for the city and state, it la probable that none of Ms activities are of greater value titan his plana for successfully Invading the Kast Side shipping dis trict, which were explained before the Kast Side Business Men's Club on Tues tlav evening. The ordinance providing for the con struction of the North Bank lice of tracks In certain streets on tha East Side and for the common usage of cer tain tracks now occupied by the Har rlman lines, waa presented to the City I'oum-il yesterday morning by tan Kellaher. president of the East Side Business Men's Club. George L. Baker formally introduced It to the Council. It was referred to the street committee and will come up for consideration one week from tomorrow. Carl R. Gray. Jr.. son of President Grav. who Is connected with tha engi neering department of the Oregon Elae trlo and United Railways, has not de termined whether he will accompany Ms father to St. Paul. It la probable that Trie and Ms wife will remain in Portland. It Is probable that Robert W. Baxter, general superintendent of the Illinois Central.' with headquarter at Chicago, will succeed Mr. Toung as head of tha Morgan-Guggenheim enterprises. L. W. Hill's retirement from tha pres idency of the Great Northern probably will mean that he will succeed his father. J. J. Hill, as chairman of the board of directors of that road, al though the elder Mr. Hill, while In Chi cago yesterday, refused to confirm the report that he was to relinquish his present position. The changes are In line with the plans announced repeatedly In the last few months and which grew especially per. slstent since L. W. Hill secured a con trolling Interest in the Oregon A West ern Colonisation Company, which Is de veloping a tract of SOn.000 acres In Cen tral Oregon. W. P. Davidson, president of that company, has been In Portland for the last few weeka and expects to hold a conference with Mr. Hill when he arrives here tonight. In hla new position the younger Mr. Hill will have more time to devote to the develop ment of Oregon, which is an undertak ing that he has been ambitious to carry out for the last few years.

Recently, the proprietor of the Pekln Grill, a Chinese noodle establishment, at Sixth and . Stark streets, upstairs, waa arrested ' for selling liquor to minors. In the Municipal Court, lie pleaded that he knew nothing of the case; that hla waiters had strict orders not to sell to minors and that the waiter who aold the liquor was guilty. He was acquitted on this statement, aa the ordinance did not specifically state that the proprietor would be held liable for all acts. In order to avoid similar occurrences, the Council decided to stipulate that only the proprietor should be held guilty. The Council, however, revoked the Pekln Grill liquor license two weeks ago.

It Is not be lieved the Government will be swamped with proposals for the "spuds," owing to the fact time of delivery Is uncer tain, and exporters say there is little profit for them after paying for getting such special logs out of the woods. It Is said that to cut the sixes asked for. two trees, each with a diameter of about six feet, would be necessary, and It is no longer easy to And such giant firs close to transportation facili ties. There have been numerous orders filled for big timbers of lengths rang ing 80 and 90 feet, but the large diam eters usually are 22 and 24 inches. The German ship Kclnbek. which yes terday finished loading a cargo that Is being dispatched by the Paclrtc Export Lumber Company for the United King dom, has largo timbers aboard, and most of her load is of sizes ranging from 12x12 inches to 24x24 inches, with boards and smaller stuff to complete It, On the British ship Kirkcudbrightshire, which will sail for Europe, also will be large timbers.
