For sometime they have been publish ing an average of more than k.00 copies per month of blah-grade litera ture devoted to the communities of Ore iron. This la at the rate of l.IuxiXO copies Pr year, and when considered In connec tion with the literature published by thsn devoted to other sections In the Pacific Northwest, some Idea may be gained of the publicity given to this ter ritory. Excellent Results Noted. Taken altogether with other literature.

Traffic Manager R.

The tide of emigration !s tttmed to ward Oregon and will increase ear by '-mr. thev say. In obtaining thto result, the railroads contend for a share of credit and the etd O. R.

"Don't even use the soft pedal; cut everything out." is the slogan that swept through the North End district Thurs day nl;:ht. v.'th the understanding that everything should bo closed light until the grvnl Jury adjourns. December 27. In the South End district no such tightened conditions obtain and In such places as Denny's, at the corner of Third and Jefferson streets, not even the "soft pedal" has been applied. While proprietors of "rooming-houses In the North End were consulting attorneys as to the best methods of extricating them selves from indictments returned by the grand Jury, and the disorderly houses along Seventh street from Burnside street to Everett, and those on Couch, Davis and Flanders that had been wide open until the order Thursday night were dark, lights burned brightly at Denny's. the merry laughter of women could te heard above the clatter of the piano, and the akirta of street-walkers swished briskly along the sidewalks. While Hoes Bruno in the North End was be moaning his fate, mourning over the loss of Immense revenue yielded by his rooms upstairs and trying to figure out how he III save his license, taxicahs rolled up to Denny's In the South End and wait era dashed madly among dancing plumes and the elaborate headgear of feminine patrons In response to a beckoning hand or push of a button. South End Cnafrald.

There Is a big open arch at the end of the bar, exposing to view the larger por tion of the dining-room where women congregate, so that it Is impossible for a drinker to escape a welcome smile from the other side of the house If be shows a disposition to flirt a little. "Meals' are served at Denny's, just the same as they are at the Quelle and at Tlce Adkins. No order Is posted re quiring patrons to eat their "meals"; neither is there restriction on how much beer, whisky or wine, may be bought after the ice la broken and the law evaded with a dainty morsel on a china plate. After the purchase of the "meal" the celling Is the limit for the purchase of drinks. Prowlers Seek in Vain. Since Chief Cox ordered the open houses In the North End to close, the Inmates have been told to get out until after the grand Jury adjourns, and have taken rooms elsewhere until December 27. In vain prowlers haunted the North End district the last three nights, ting ing door bells the better acquainted hammering at the back doors. Occasion ally the proprietor or the official maid would respond and explain matters. Once In a while an "old friend" would be ad mitted for more detailed Information of the situation, and then he would come out and tell others Just how it stood. - Consternation reigns over the North End. but there is not a ripple of exciter ment In the South End. not a semblance of uneasiness. Those In the North End who have -been In "business" for years are bitterly complaining about "persecu tion." "discrimination" and "Injustice." They say they do not understand why the North End should be closed and the South End permitted to run unmolested. "The North Ead has the reputation and the South End la getting away with the money. Is the plaint of one old timer in the North End. "Everybody knows that the North End haa been cleaned up. everything Is done quietly and there should be no complaint. The South End Is much worse than the North End. but nobody ever says anything about that aide of town. If anything happens it's always in the North End. I think It is time that we heard some thing about the South End." IS FINE HOTEL TVEW GRILL- WILL- r OPEN WITH CHRISTMAS mXXER. Dining-Konm Is Beautiful In White and Gold ' Many Mirrors.

HEARTS MADE GLAD Scenes of "Fairyland" Worth Going Far to Witness. HUMAN INTEREST STIRRED Priceless Christmas Blessing Won by AH Who Assisted In Effort to Insure Happiness of Poor and Unfortunate. Fifteen years old and never the pos sessor of a doll, is the atory of one girl whom Santa Claus made glad at "Fairyland," which today provides hap piness for children of the People's In stitute. Fairyland" was opened last Thurs day afternoon, when the boys of tbe In stltute gathered to receive gifts and enjoy holiday exercises. "Fairyland" is in the gymnasium of the Institution, comprised of an elabor ate arrangement of miniature snow drifts and Icy ponds, about which are clustered the fairy dwelling- of St. Nicholas, the stable tor hia reindeer. the abode of the fairy queen, and mul titudes of tiny fairies of all kinds and nationalities. Other representations are presented In the decoration of the gymnasium "The Night Before Christmas" Is apt ly portrayed. In a room a child Is sleeping;, dreaming of Santa Claus. A row of stockings is suspended from the mantel. Another scene Is the old saint him self descending- the chimney. Reindeer and sledge await him in the distance. The effect is reallstlo and a delight to young and old. "Fairyland" will be closed next Wednesday afternoon, when the Moth era' Club of the Institute will take tea with Miss Prichard and the Institute workers and partake of the pleasures their children have been enjoying: throughout the week. Many Interesting things have oc curred In connection with Christmas work. People who were themselves given aid at this season last year are now comparatively prosperous and their eagerness now to offer assistance to others through the Institute is ap preciated. Extreme generosity prevails thi; year. Miss Prichard says, and do nations of toys, clothing and food have been ample. Human interest Is stirred by the sight of all ages and sizes revel ing in the Joy which comes rrom Kind ness. It Is common to see a child, lacking; a vocabulary to express such grati tude, clasp the teacher about the waist and say. over ana over, -un, l am so hanov!" Young- society folk have been active In the work this year. Yesterday Miss Evelyn Wilson and other young women of prominence sought out children in the outskirts of the city and brought them to "Fairyland. Other children crippled or ill, were brought by parents or elder brothers and sisters In wheel chairs to enioy the Christmas cheer. All who have observed these scenes asrree-that the faces of these children. radiant with Joy. are worth going- far to see, and their happiness is shared by all who have helped in the benefi cent work of the institution, each gala- ing by such social service a never-to-be-forgotten Christmas blessing.
