BIG WOODMAN IS COMING
HEAD CONSUL FALKEXDURG WILL
llC HBRC FEBRUARY 3.
Unc Portland Camp, 5000 Strong,
Are Malcim? Elaborate Prepara-
tlon for HI Reception.
P. A. Falkenburg, head consul of the
Woodmen of the World, Is to visit Fort
land February 3. The "Woodmen are
aiuch pleased at the news. The nine
:amps of this city, with nearly 5000 mem
bers, are determined to do all in their
power to make this one of the big events
hi the fraternal history of Portland. The
head consul has visited several of the
targe cities on this Coast, and has In all
at them been the recipient of very flat
tering receptions. However, the Portland
Woodmen are not to be outdone in that
respect. The head consul is a great favor
ite with the general membership of this
city, and the members are determined, if
money and brains can accomplish It, to
make this reception here one of the most
elaborate eer tendered to the head of a
fraternal order.
The camps of this city have appointed
a general committee, consisting of three
members from each, to be known as the
Falkenburg campaign committee, with A.
Hi i JE9HH
F. A. Fnlkenbnrpr.
Xi. Barbur. chairman: A. L. Keenan, sec
retary, and William Reldt, treasurer. The
following sub-committees were appointed:
Hall. J. J. Jennings H. L.. Day and Will
lam Reldt; printing, C. C. Bradly, J. J.
Jennings, H. L.. Day, A. L. Keenan and
C. M. Bequette; advertising, J. J. Jen
nings, H. L. Day and J. P. Menefee; mu
sic and parade, P. M. Lollock, W. W.
Paulsen, C. M. Bequette, C. C. Murphy
and H. Schade; reception, A. L.. Barbur,
J. J. Jennings, A. L. Keenan, H. L. Day,
H. Schade and William Reldt: entertain
ment. C. C. Bradly. J. J. Jennings, Will
lam Reldt, W. W. Mcintosh and G. W.
Newbery; transportation, A. L. Keenan,
William Reldt and G. R. Funk. This
will make a strong committee, as the
men selected are all earnest workers and
loyal members of the order.
The general committee recommends the
following plan: Every member must se
cure at least one new application and
pre-sent it to Head Consul Falkenburg at
the Exposition building, February 3. It
will be arranged so that the head consul
will present a gold enameled button to
every neighbor that hands him a new
application. The committee has also ar
ranged to have a great parade on the
night of February 3. Several brass bands
have been engaged, and the Exposition
building has been secured for the occa
sion. The transportation committee will
make arrangements so reduced rates may
be had for visitors, as it is expected tha't
large delegations will come from all points
adjacent to Portland.
Head Consul Falkenburg is recognized
as a great organizer and fraternal speak
er Eleven years ago he was the only
Woodman of the World In the Pacific Ju
risdiction. Now there are 77.000 members.
Three years ago the head consul induced
the head camp to adopt a reserve fund
and thus put the order on a sound relia
ble financial basis. It took a man of
CAUrge and dIPlomac' to bring this about.
At that time there were some verv able
and influential members who were op
posed to any kind of a reserve fund. It
was only through the confidence that the
members had in the ability of the head
consul to carry out what he undertook
tnat the measure was adopted. This re
serve fund has increased in less than
three years to $330,000.
m Tl C?nSUl Falkenburg is Justlv en
titled to be called "the father of Wood
thX and,1)e members have shown
their appreciation of him by re-electinsr
Sra-ff,Try l yearS lnce the ordcr was
tJ f ' and,they no doubt continue
to do so as long as he lives.

by the sea, having amissed a fortune In
salmon packing and other enterprises.
His visit to the city Is occasioned by the
serious illness of Mrs. Young, who has
been suffering for some time.
J. Put Smith, a well-Known pioneer citi
zen, was on the streets yesterday for the
first time in about five months. He has
lived here for 42 years and has never
been sick before, but rheumatism seized
him and gave him a lively twist. He siys
he thought at one time he was a goner,
and but for the unremitting care of his
wife he would surely have pegged out.
Though slightly worked out, he is still in
the ring and will give rheumatism a wide
berth in the future.
Mr. and 3Irs. J. Benson Starr have left
Portland for New York City, where for
the next two years they will pursue the
study of music. Mr. Stirr will study
vocal culture under the best teachers. He
already has more than a local reputation
as a baritone soloist of fine voice and a
high degree of skill, and his many friends
throughout the state are confident that
under competent training he will develop
into a vocalist of unusual powers. Mrs.
Starr will continue her pipe organ work,
in which she is already more than ordi
narily proficient.
BIG YEAR FOR HOTELS.
All Crowded. During the Pant Twelve
MontliH.
That the year Just closed has been
productive of more business in their line
than any previous year in the history of
Portland, is the unanimous verdict of the
managers of the leading hotels. All agree
that since January, 1901. there have been
but few nights the hostelries have not
been crowded. Many nights people were
turned away. The proprietor of one ho
tel says that on 20 nights only his house
has not been fully occupied.
The hotel men agree that the business
is not of the boom order, but is the result
of the steady growth of industries in the
Northwest. The arrivals are divided into
three classes. First, capitalists seeking
investment and homeseekers; second, rep
resentatives of the great commercial
houses of the East and Middle West, and
tourists; and third. Pacific Northwest
travelers coming to Portland on business
and pleasure trips. The class first nanud
is considered the most numerous, and
hotel clerks say that all these, without
exception, expressed themselves as well
pleased with the climate of Oregon, the
healthy condition of business and the en
terprise of the people generally. Next
year even a larger increase in the hotel
business is expected.
"Without doubt 1902 will surpass 1901,"
said one hotel man. "Last year was a
phenomenal one, and I never expected to
see its equal. But the business of 1901
has far exceeded it, and Indications are
that 1902 will bring even "more patrons."
One hotel man who prides himself upon
the fact that his orders for loglsters,
based upon a year's business, has never
been too large or too small, says he made
a miscalculation this year. He has used
two more large registers than he antici
pated, and he recently brought a third
one Into service.

and Mndlnon Streets.
A Are which threatened the destruc-
tlon of about half a dozen frame build
ings on First street, near Madison, broke
out last night at 11:10 o'clock in one
of the one-story frame stores occupied by J
J. F. Byer and J. Rosenthal, 252 and 251 t
First street, respectively. The loss Is
about 52500, mostly covered by Insurance.
Byer runs a cigar store, and Rosenthal a
second-hand goods store. Special Officer
O. H. Smith was patrolling his beat when,
he noticed smoke pouring from both of J
the stores, and he turned In an alarm from '
box 123, at Front and Salmon streets.
When he reached the burning buildings
again flame was bursting from both of
them. Several lines of hose began, to get
into play, but the immense stream poured
out by engine No. 1 the most powerful
engine on the Pacific Coafct acted as a
thorough quencher, and made the other
streams seem small in comparison. All !
danger of the flames spreading to the
other frame buildings to the north passed
away within five minutes after the fire
men got to work. It was not possible to
learn where the fire started, as smoke was
nrst ooservea pouring irom Dotn .uyer s
and Rosenthal's places. A big crowd
turned out to see the fine work of the
Fire Department.

PORTLAND, Jan. 1. (To the Eidtor.)
The sentiment expressed by William Reid
in The Oregonlan of yesterdaj' seems to
me to be timely and wise. I have heard
many expressions of approval of The Ore
gonian's last effort for the state, and
believe Mr. Reid's proposal for a second
edition will meet with a hearty response
and support.
For the first time in the history of the
stajte one of its best and most promising
industries, mining, has been accorded
fair and comprehensive treatment. Sure
ly, the several mining districts will feel
the benefit of the effort made In their be
half. As The Oregonlan truly says, the
