Ample Rm Pre-rtdeeV
The new building contains two large

to the offices of the president and sec

rhapel eierclses at $:& every morn
Ins, and most of the course are ar
ranged between and 1 o'clock on
five morrtngs of the week, as shown
In schedule:
provide freight facilities on the East
Bide, ao far as ths Zlej'.er ordlnanca
Is concerned, and why the East Side
Business Men's Club has not acted Is
more than I car. understand.- said J.
B. Zlegier. father of the Zlegler amend
ment, yesterday.
Mr. Zlegler contends that under the
ordinance General Manager O'Brien's
offer can be fully met so far as
franchise for freight facilities Is con
cerned. He holds that under the ordin
ance a way Is provided by which the
railroad company can get Just such a
franchise as the railroad chief told the
East Side Business Men's Club he
wanted, and would build under.
"Mr. O'Brien told the club." said Mr.
Zlegier. "that he wanted the vacation
of the streets, or a franchise such that
his company could safely build ths
freight depot snd still have unrestrict
ed use of the streets. This Is Just what
the ordinance provides for, and It will
be found to meet Mr. O'Brien's re
quirements for the use of the streets;
only ths city will retain title and con
trol of the streets. Mr. O'Brien can
get a franchise for the freight facilities
If be will apply for one. I are with
Charles Smith when he says that there
should be no further delay in getting
the franchise and putting up the
frelrht depot, but be la mistaken If
be thinks that the Zlegler ordinance
stands In the way of building the
freight depot, for It does not as may
be ascertained by an examination of
Its provisions.
"Mr. O'Brien made his statement In
the open meeting of the East Side
Business Men's Club several months
aero, but It seems to have been dropped
right there."

Docs Not Bar Depot.
i There la no need ot delay la pro
! vldlng a way for the O.-W. R- dt Jf.
I Ocsicax y to talld. a freight depot and
Portland's public early In October Is
known as the "Modern School."
From all sides Is coming the query.
What Is the Modern School and wherein
does It differ from the schools already
organised?" The Modern School is not
a forced hot-house growth created by
tha money of some person whose hobby
It happened to be. It is the natural.
Inevitable outgrowth of the Intellectual
revolution which tha development and
growth of modern science has created.
Years ago Honry Drummond, antici
pating the radical change In thought
which the theory of evolution made
necessary In all departments of life,
said: "Evolution Involves not so much
a change of opinion as a change In a
man's whole view of tha world and ot
life." I.Ike a wheel within a wheel, at
the heart ot a disintegrating civilisa
tion. Is rising slowly but surely a new
social order which by all the laws of
evolution Is bound to displace the old.
This nw social order expresses Its
life through entirely different Institu
tions. Its religion. Its ethics. Its edu
cation will come to men In a new
gulseL Hence the Modern School.
Through a series of well-chosen
simple studies In evolutionary life
smong animals the child studies the
ascent of man and become "at one"
with all the life of the universe. He
finds his place In the world and natural
ly and without surprise he Is brought
face to face with matters pertaining
to sex the greatest- moral necessity
of our age.
The Modern School Is fundamentally
different from the publlo school in this
respect. The public school Is admit
tedly developing children ss a mass
rather than as Individuals. Every year
there Is turned out from our schools a
colorless army of pupils without the
ability to think and act for themselves,
without the slightest attention having
been given to tha most divine thing
within them personality.
Said a writer In the August number
of the Atlantic Monthly: "I fear that
most of our teaching must be reckoned
with the forces making for the triumph
of mediocrity. The Modern School

STATION CALLED EYESORE
Police Headquarters Condemned by
Officer In Report.
"There is an old building at the
northwest corner of Second and Oak
streets that was built in 1S8 and has
become an eyesore and a disgrace to
the city." says a report turned in at
police headquarters yesterday by Pa
trolman Jenkins.
It Is quite common for policemen to
report their observations in cases of
this nature, and Captain Keller, who
received the report, was about to In
dorse It over to the building Inspector,
when the location given caused blm to
look again. He looked about to get
the proper orientation, and finally
made the discovery that he was at that
moment In a building at the Northwest
corner of Second and Oak streets that
fully answered the description.
Jenkins' report was not sent to the
building inspector.

EGYPT TRADE KNOCKS
MARKET OPPORTUXITY GREAT,
SAYS J. B. HORXEK.
Big Chance Seen for Pacific Coast
If at-Home Credit Is Extended.
Nothing Manufactured There.
BT J. B. HORNER.
The English army of occupation
has its influence in Esypt. Lord Rob
erts will soon arrlv!, and many be
lieve that a new era Is drawing In the
land of the Ptolemies. The natives
are gradually acquiring the use of ma
chinery and many of them are be
ginning to manipulate automobiles,
motors and engines, in which they find
a fascination. Hitherto machinery has
as a rule been Imported almost ex
clusively from France. England and
Germany; but Egyptians have learned
that Invention is the peculiar art of the
Yankee and that American machinery
usually excels. Therefore there seems
no longer to be any doubt as to the
preference of the Egyptians for our
manufactured products. In this con
nection I am reminded that when Sec
retary of State Hay visited this lo
cality, he promised the people many
things in the way of introducing new
machinery In Egypt, but unfortunately
he died before reaching America. No
one else haa taken up the subject; so
there Is no definite understanding be
tween our manufacturers and EgTPt'an
dealers, who believe that we discrim
inate against them by requiring them
to pay for articles of purchase before
delivery.
At present the Ave classes of goods
sold In Egypt safety rasors. type
writers, patent medicines, phonographs
and kodaks are sold in every civilised
town In the worldly hence it Is not
particularly a commercial triumph to
sell them in Egypt. It Is true that we
have introduced machinery and hard
ware In that country but the sale as
yJt Is very limited. However, It is my
opinion that Congressional delegations.
Commercial Clubs and Boards of Trade
throughout our country ought to edu
cate and encourage manufacturers to
send wide-awake commercial men to do
genuine missionary work in behalf of
our machinery In Egyptian markets.
This would result in a larger acquaint
ance with the people-and their ability
to use our machinery and to pay for
what they purchase.
The Egyptians are well worthy of our
acquaintance. That I might be carrect
above any doubt. I Interviewed the
American Consul. D. R. Birch, at Alex
andria, who Is coming to America soon
with the idea of encouraging American
exporters to explore the new field. He
told me that a serious effort Is now
being made to further the sale of Amer
ican manufactured goods in Egypt and
if the promoters of the enterprise In
Alexandria can obtain the co-operation
of a aufflclent number of American
firms a permanent exhibition of Amer
ican wares will be inaugurated In that
city.
"But no appreciable gain will result
from this or any similar eiron to ex
Band American sales in Egypt," said
Mr. Hirch. "unless the American man
nfactiirer. desirous of selling to that
country and Judging from the corre
spondence In the Alexandria Consulate
there are many such will abandon the
practice of trying to make sales f. o. b.
New York or other port of shipment.
The Egyptian buyer will not do busi
ness In that way. He does not have to,
a everv EuroDean country sells to
Ervnt on credit. About S100.000.000
worth of manufactured goods come Into
Egypt every year from Europe, an
sold on terms which enable the pur
chaser to pay for the goods three or
four months after delivery, sureiy an
effort to get a portion of this immense
trade is worth while. I do not favor
giving Indiscriminate credits; but. If
the permanent exhibition be established,
the Alexandria control of It shall be
so financially solid as to leave no
doubt that the American will get his
money.
"Egypt manufactures practically
nothing and must buy everything she
uses from other nations. From the
point of view of distance the United
States suffers enough in the natural
way. Freight rates are higher and the
absence of a direct cargo line makes
trans-shipments necessary, but It Is the
unanimous opinion of commercial men
in Egypt that, in the event of the
American seller offering facilities as to
payment equal to those given by
European houses, the flow of American
goods into Egypt will become so ex
tensive as to make inevitable the estab
lishment of a permanent direct steam
ship service between the two coun
tries." It occurs to me that the western
coast of this country with Portland in
the lead might .take the., initiative at
once and develop commercial relations
with Egypt, so that upon the comple
tion of the Isthmian Canal our manu
factures and our ships will be first '
-he Egyptian docks and market places.
