D. M. CUrk Special Commissioner
for Portland Chamber or Com'
rocrce on Trip Will Not
Return In 111 Next Year.
O. M. Clark, commissioner for the
Portland Chamber of Commerce on the
Oriental excursion of the associated com
mercial bodies of the Pacific Coast, ac
companied by Mrs. Clark, left yesterday
f'r San Francisco, where the party will
embark nest Tuesday on the steamer
Korea for Shanghai and other Chinese
-.rte
The commissioners and their ladles will
Ie welcomed by the Chinese government
and by the commercial organisations of
a'l the large cities of the empire, through
which they will seek to foster closer trade
relations between the far eastern country
Paclnc Coast points.
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. Min
lites will be made of every proceeding In
ronnectlon with the trip and recorda will
le kept of the speeches and more Infor
mal remarks made at the banquets and
other gatherings at which the Americans
are honored guests. It Is the aim of the
association to preserve these regords for
future reference, and to guide In t'aelr
uheiucnt trade with the Chinese cities.
But the particular use to which the
rlrrks will be put will be In compiling
Information on the Individual needs of
the various Chinese cities. In this way
buslmss men on the Pacific Coast will
! enaMed. In the future, to direct
their attentions solely to those lines In
lilch their prospectlvee customers are
Interested and thereby secure results
with the least possible effort and with
out unnecessary correspondence. 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. Thla has grad-
l ally grown, especially since tne return
l.lt.
Wiille In China the delegates will In
cite the Chinese merchants to visit this
country, either Individually or In a body.
It Is paid Itiat a movement Is already on
foot among the leading Chinese trades
men to pay a return visit to America
some time next year, and to extend their
Journey to New York and Washington.
Mr. Clark expects to return to Port.
land with the other members of the com.
mission early next year, when he will be
rrepared to submit a report to the Cham
br of Commerce.
This trip will Include brief stays at
Honolulu on both the Western and re
turn Jouraers.

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

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
