This excursion was planned as a result ff a similar trip by representatives of l'e same organisations to Japan two y-ars ago. which was one of the acknowl e Iged factors In quieting the rumors of ar b'twwn the United Pistes and the empire of the Mikado. That excursion was closely followed by the visit of a rrty of Jnpan's leading merchants, raded by Huron 3hibusawa. to Portland n1 other Paclnc Coast points, and many ff the Eastern cities. The party of commissioners will be ac-romr-anied by two Interpreters and a stuff of clerks and stenographers.

In t;e past some trouble has been exper ienced on the coast in their Chinese trade on account of lack of knowledge of con ditions there. If the Chinese trip Is as successful as t ie Japanese excursion. Pacific Coast ) nslness men will be well pleased. The question of making these visits periodical J us already been considered. ftesides promoting pleasant trade rela tion, the Japanese trip has fostered a friendly social attitude between tne pe lle of the two countries.

AUDITORIUM ON WAY Tuesday Will See United Effort of Business Men for Plan. "LIVE WIRES" BACK MOVE Powerful Actor In Enterprise for City Is Association of Women's - Clubs Individuals and Firms Ready to Aid Movement. An effort will be made at a meeting to be held at the Commercial Club next Tuesday afternoon to unite all of the movements now aiming to secure a new auditorium for Portland Into one work ing, practical, progressive unit. Since the auditorium Idea was first suggested three or four separate, well meaning organisations have attempted to promote the movement. While all of these were seeking the same end they were working along different, in dependent lines. Sooner or later. It waa feared, these forces were likely to drift apart and create a lack of harmony. To forestall - any such unpleaaant altua tlon the meeting was called The prime movers la the auditorium project are the "Live Wires'' of the Commercial Club, who are planning to systematically conduct the campaign for a municipal building, beginning with a campaign Intended to encourage the taxpayers to .ask for an Issue of bonds by the city to pay for the structure. Another powerful factor In the en terprise la the association of women's GRAND Eilers clubs, who have had one of their agents travel through the country to obtain Information from other cities that have built auditoriums. They have procured eome funds and have considered the matter of raising the money to pay for the building by popular subscription. ' Some of the city authorities have had the subject under consideration. In an unofficial way, and many cltlsens have suggested to them the necessity of erecting the building. It is aald that a number of private Individuals and firms are ready and willing to advance funds to put up the auditorium or to build and operate it as a private Institution, agreeing to offer its use to the city or to any public organisation on certain terms. It seems, however, that the people generally favor the municipal owner ship scheme, and C- C Craig, president of the "Live Wires." who has called the meeting for next Tuesday, says that his efforts and those of his associates will be directed toward having the meeting declare Itself In favor of this method of building and operating the halL Prominent Men at Meeting. The "Live Wires" will be represented at the meeting by Its executive commit tee, of which Harvey O'Bryan, C. C Colt, F. F. Barbur, J. R. Wetherbee, William McMurray, C. C. Craig and oth ers are members. Invitations have been extended to all others who ars Interested In the audi torium project to attend. It is aimed to have every interest represented. Some of the city officials will also be urged to attend. "There Is no need for three or four organisations or Individuals to work along different lines and Independent of each other to accomplish the same purpose," said "Lire Wire" Craig yes terday. "We did not know, when we undertook to promote the acheme, that anyone else was actively engaged in the efforts to secure an auditorium. As soon as we learned of it we decided to call the meeting. We want harmony and co-operation. I think our meeting next Tuesday will result in a united ef fort on the part of everyone interested and with all ef us working together our favorite enterprise will soon develop Into a reality AT- Muflsic DIAMOND MID BIG Selling Store Safe Robbery Is Mystery. JEWELS OF GREAT VALUE Friday Night Theft Puzzles Clothing House Employes and Detectives Pnt on Case Custom- to Keep Vault Unlocked, Says One. Diamonds of an unstated value, but supposed to mount well Into the thou sands, were lost Friday night from a safe In the store of Ben Selling at Fourth and Morrison streets and the loss was not discovered until yester day morning when the cashier opened the cash drawer of the safe and noticed that a number of small coins were miss ing. His suspicions were at once aroused and a hurried search revealed that three fine diamond sets, $48 In good money and three counterfeit bills had been removed from the safe. The detectives have established the fact that every access from the street to the store was closed and tnat en trance had not been forced. They have adopted the theory that the Job was an "Inside" one; that the theft was com mitted either by someone who has ac cess to the store or by outside thieves who concealed themselves in the place before the store was closed. Whoever took the jewels made his egress from the third story by tearing off boards and getting Into a corridor Sale of Mousse which leads to the Cosmos rooming house, adjoining the store. No clew to the Identity of the thieves has yet been discovered. ' ' Benjamin Wing, the bookkeeper, who discovered the loss, says that It has been the custom to leave the safe un locked, even though It contained val uable articles. -Mr. Selling left Friday OF UNEXCELLED PURITY Special for week ending August 27, Old Taylor, bot tled in bond, full quarts, $1.50 value, this week only $ 1 .25 PER Fine Old Port, Sherry, Angelica, Muscatel , or Tokay .Wine, 1 PER GALLON .
