1 THE SUNDAY OREtfONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF OORDRATS THEATER (Washington etrect) "At Gay Coney Island.' "Wni TEii op New York. The literary society of the First Congregational church -will give another of its interesting pro grammes Wednesday, January 10, at 2 P. H., in the church parlors. This 13 the second in the studies of American cities, and the topic for this afternoon is New York. One of the young 'women of the church, Miss ilary Berdan, will lead with a paper on "Old New Tork." Her keen sense of the humor of events and occa sions approaches that of Irving himself. This, with her graceful diction and youth ful relish of old things, assures a charm ing glimpse of that picturesque old Dutch colonial town, which has been entirely superseded by the proud metropolis. Mrs. Adams, who gives a paper on "Metropoli tan New York," needs no Introduction to Portland audiences. Mrs. Adams has grown up in and with New York, and has in a measure been Identified with Its literature. She was a member of Sorosls, as well as of that w ell-known Liberal Club that numbered among its members many of the brightest men and women of the land. No Decrease in Demand fob Labor. All signs point to a scarcity of laboring men In Portland during the coming season, according To those who are conversant with the Industrial conditions in the Northwest. Men who are willing to work on country jobs are not over numerous now, although January and February are usually looked upon as months when Idle men are plentiful and putdoor jobs are ecarce. The demand, however, has never ceased this winter, for loggers, railroad laborers, choppers, farmers, milkers, etc, while the opening of spring will witness the construction of more new lines of rail road, the starting of new logging camps, the erection of new saw mills, and the ex tension of new farms. The rush to Nome will further deplete the stock of laborers, and unless something unforseen happens, labor will indeed be king, in the working season of 1900. Associated Charities Meeting. The annual public meeting of the associated charities for this year will be held next Sunday afternoon, the 14th, at 3:30 o'clock at the MarQuam Grand theater. The new ly elected president of the university of Oregon. I'k ftMr Frank Strong, will de liver the aniiUal address, the subject of which will be announced later. The musi cal programme is In course of prepara tion, and will be up to the usual stand ard of the music given at these meetings. The selections will be of the best, and Mrs. Walter Beed, Mr. Dom Zan and the Treble Clef Club are expected to take part. There will probably be other addresses, and music, and the complete programme will he published early next week. The entire theater will be open to the public, and no charge will be made or subscrip tion taken up. Barber Commission en Tour. The Ore gon state barbers' commission, consisting of Sam H. HoVard, president; H. G. Meyer, secretary, and F. I. Rogers, treas urer, will leave tonight for Eastern Ore gon, where examinations will be held in four or five cities of applicants for cer tificates to practice the vocation of barber.

Vladimir De Pachmann (Copy of letter from the great pianist) The Aeolian Company: Gentlemen Your new and won derful musical Instrument, the Aeo lian, is well entitled not alone to excite the surprise but to claim the attention and admiration of every one interested in music the pro fessional as well as the layman It is evident how quickly the man or woman of fine musical taste, but entirely without technical educa tion, may acquire on it the ability to become familiar with and enjoy most of the finer musical classics. It also provides great possibilities for the study of tone and chord combinations for the professional.

CAJTNEL, TVAIXSEND, TAGAWA. Foot of Pettygrove. TEL. OAK 261 The Oregon Metropolis Is a City to Buy In Than. Francisco. Cheaper Saa Ashland, Or., which lies so near the Cali fornia line that the San Francisco mer chants have veen considering it their ter ritory, now does the bulk of Its trading with Portland, according to E. V. Carter, a banker of that thriving Jackson county town. Mr. Carter, who Is at the Im perial, is In a good position to know whither the bulk of trade Is drifting, as he furnishes exchange to the business men of the town. A few years ago, he says, the bulk of drafts were drawn on San Francisco banks; but now the Port land banks do the business. The reason for this Is that Portland Is a cheaper city to buy in than San Francisco. Freight rates are about the same, whether goods are shipped Into Ashland from Portland or the California city, but the northern merchants, by reason of more competing lines from the East, can undersell those of San Francisco. "Then there Is some patriotism in It too," he continued. "Our people are all Oregonlans, and naturally prefer to deal with the merchants of the Oregon metropolis." He thinks San Fran cisco has permanently lost Its trade with that portion of Southern Oregon. "Ashland is booming; we haven't had a vacant house In the town for a year, and the 75 new structures built In 1899 are oc cupied to their full capacity. Our peach crop last year amounted to 75,000 boxes, which the oroducers sold for good prices. Rojrue river valley Is about the only re gion In the world which produced a full crop of everything In 1S99, and our people are now enjoying the results of It "The present outlook is also exceedingly flattering, as the ample rains have pro moted the growth of all crops, and have set the placer miners to work much earlier than usual. We are going to have a good, long sluicing and hydraullcking season this year, which means a big clean-up of gold dust In the ensuing summer." Mr. Carter was speaker of the house dur ing the last session of the Oregon legis lature, and on being asked as to the status of the parties in Jackson county at present, said: ' The populists still have an organization; but I do not look for the democrats to put a ticket In the flela.

Portland TVomnn Arrested by Fed eral Authorities in South Dakota. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 6. Elizabeth Lois Struble, who says she came here from Portland the latter part of last Au gust, was arrested by the government authorities and bound over to the next federal grand jury on a charge of sending through the malls her monthly publica tion, named The Nautilus, which is al leged to contain obscene matter. It is believed here by Mrs. Struble's friends, to some of whom the foregoing dispatch was shown, that there must be a big mistake somewhere. While It is barely possible that Mrs. Struble may have been guilty of a technical violation of the United States statutes relating to mails, her whole life here gives the lie to any suspicion that she did anything impure or unwomanly. She is the daugh ter of J. H. Jones, the pioneer lumber, man, and the wife of Holt Struble, and was born and brought up in Portland. t a Redaction Sale Fancy Dry Goods.
