AUDITORIUM FOR ANTED East Side Business Men Open War on Additional Bond Issue of $200,000. LONG DELAY IS RESENTED side at the banquet next Monday. The club voted to take ten tickets to the banquet to be given Monday by the Portland Rotary Club in honor of Dr. Ng Poon Chew. Speakers at Inncbeon. Say Present Commissioners Should Be Ousted if Mandate Is Disobeyed. Market Plan Favored. That the public fcudltorlum (for Portland should be erected and site purchased for the building- with the $600,000 authorized at the last elec tion by the people of Portland, and that unless the present commissioners take steps immeditaely to secure the site and erect the auditorium they should be displaced with men who will obey the mandate of the people, was the sentiment of addresses made and resolutions adopted yesterday at the luncheon held at Centenary Methodist Church by the East Side Business Men's Club. There was a large attend ance of business men and a delegation from the North Portland Commercial Club represented the Peninsula, headed by J. H. Nolta, the president. "Public Auditorium for Portland," was the subject for consideration. Dan Kellaher presided. He said that among" the measures to be voted on at the November elec tion are the bond Issues of 200,000 for the auditorium additional to the $600,000 already voted, and for J 200,000 for public markets for reducing the cost of living. More Bonda Opposed. "It will be up soon to the people of Portland whether they want to issue $200,000 more of bonds, making a total of $800,000. for an auditorium," said L. M. Lepper. the principal speaker of the day, "or whether they want to confine the cost of site and building to $600,000. A bond issue of $200,000 is proposed to provide public markets In order to reduce the cost of living by bringing the producer and consumer together. It Is my Judgment, after ex haustive investigations, that an audi torium can be built In Portland for $600,000 that will be ample for all purposes, and that $200,000 should be voted for public markets. "The auditoriums built at Denver, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Los Angeles and other cities have all been built for less than $600,000. Do you know that the plans for the Portland auditorium call for a building that will seat only 7500, whereas it should seat at least 12.000. These plans are a Joke. Study the exits and every thing about these plans, including the doors and you will see that they are a Joke and -wholly inadequate. I am informed that the architects who pre pared these plans had only prepared plans for a bungalow back in New Tork. What we need in Portland is a building that will seat 12.000 people, not ornamented with marble trim mings, but neatly built. "The cost of the auditorium in the cities I have mentioned includes their furniture. Also the auditorium should be built where it will be cen tral, where - people can walk to It. You and I will live to see Portland with a 1,000.000 of people, and other audi toriums must be built in other portions of the city. Now what do you people want? A marble palace that will u.i 7R00 costing $800,000. or a sen sible auditorium that will seat 12,000? And do you want to spend $200,000 in public markets to reduce the cost of living?" Commission Awaits Vote. George Lacey, chairman of the audl inriiiin committee of the North Port land Commercial Club, reported that this committee called on x. a. w ucox, a member of the auditorium commis sion, and from him obtained the infor niiinn that the commission will build the auditorium when there is sufficient monev. "That Is all the information we got from Mr. Wilcox." said Mr. lacey. "which means that, unless the people vote $200,000 more to go witn tneouu, 000 we already have, there will be no auditorium. We of the North Portland Commercial Club want this auditorium hunt- and built now. witn tne souu.uuu. "I am in hearty sympathy with the sentiment expressed here," said M. G. Munly, "that $600,000 is sufficient for this auditorium, that it should be built at once on the east side or tne wmaiu ette River, where it will serve the greatest number of people. I favor the $200,000 for public markets.' Itelay la Resented. "It has been a year and a half since h. hnnri for the auditorium were au thorized," said G. E. Welter, member of the auditorium committee of the East Kirt. Rnsinests Mens Club, ana sxui nothing has been done toward the erection of the auditorium. Xow is the tlm for Immediate action, ureal tun ventlons are coming to Portland. The Worlds Christian Cltizensnip conven tion is coming to Portland next year, and yet there are no provisions for it." j h Nolta. Dresident of the North Portland Commercial Club, in the m,PM nf hia address said: "We in North Portland want to work in har mony with the people of East Portland. Together we can do mucn lor tne up-hiiiidina- of the East Side and Portland. I concur with the sentiment expressed here today that the auditorium ought to be built with the $600,000 already au thorised, and built now. e nave waif i lone for the commission to do something, but have waited In vain nothing, absolutely, has been started i. i. mv ludcment that the commis sion should be asked to acquire a site and proceed at once with the erection ( ih. auditorium: and in case the com missioners do not start on the audi torium at once, that we, tne people, !... th business of erecting the au ditorium in the hands of men who will build it according to The mandate of rhn nnnlf." Mr. Xolta moved, "It is the sense of tiiis meeting that the commission be asked to erect the auditorium at once, nnlAss the commission acts at once. steps be taken to replace the present commissioners by others, who will erect the building at once. The motion car. ried. Market Bonds Favored. The resolutions declared against the additional $200,000 bond issue for the audttorium: that a building and site can be acquired for $600,000 that will seat i? nno neonle: not built with fancy mar ble walls, but convenient to the mass of nonulatlon. The resolution was. Resolved, further. That It is our fMliiir and iuriement that this add! tlonnl $200,000 should be far better ex pended in establishing suitable and i.nlnt mihllc markets throughout the city to help the entire citizenship in reducing the present nign cost i living, enabling the producer and con ,,,r,,ar t meet together, supplying ab solutely fresh vegetables and poultry and farm products at tn lowest cusi and that the auditorium be built a C.

Harbormaster Speier Is hot on the trail of the culprit who, according to his declaration, side-tracked a big box of -the finest trout ever taken from a stream and. which was sent to Mayor Rushlight by him from Sisson, Cal., last week when he was on his vacation there. Just what will happen when Speier locates this person, if he ever does, remains to be seen. Furthermore, to add to Speiers anger, some infamous prevaricator, malefactor and "gent" who tells the exact opposite of the truth, has started the tale that Speier never sent the box of trout at all. WOODLAXD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY AT AGE OF 84. i' W - "V? 4 Frank Abel. WOODLAND, Wash., Oct. 10. (Special.) At the residence of Leopold Houf, Frank Abel, aged 83 years, died here October 6. Mr. Abel was born In Wortem burg, Germany, and came to this country with his father when 10 yearn of age. He followed min ing and farming after attaining manhood, and c a m across the plains in 1866, landing in what was Washington Territory. He took up a homestead about six miles above Woodland the' same year, where he resided until 1892, when he sold his farm and moved on to an acre tract in Woodland, where he had since made his home, thus making him a resident of Woodland and vicinity for over 46 years. He was married twice, but there were no children from either union, and, so far as known, he has no living relatives. In early days he donated a tract of land off the corner of his homestead for a cemetery, the same being near Etna, Wash., and it was there his body was laid to rest last Sunday.

Sneier was first apprised of the fact that the trout, which he says he sent. did not reach the Mayor, when he called on the latter at the city rian upon his return from Sisson. 'How did you like those .ceauties x sent you?" asked Speier. . ''What were they?" asked tne Mayor, plainly showing that he had received nnthlna: f rom -SDeier. "Why I expressed prepaid a box of the most beautiful trout man ever set eves on." declared Speier. "Not one of them weighed less than two pounds: thev were magnificent. 'Well, I never receivea mem, saia the Mayor, with a suspicious glance at the harbormaster. Since then, Speier has been rusning about town, muttering curses against the unknown who snatched those trout from the express car, office or wagon and made away with them. He threa tens dire vengeance on the dastardly thief. And. as for the villain who manufactured from whole cloth the never sent them" .story, to tne oeptns With him, should his identity ever be established by the doughty guardian of the harbor.
