UNION STATION SITE URGED Greater Portland Association Plans I"at Side Improvements. Unanimous Indorsement was given the movement by the Greater Portland ri.ins Association to have the Hill and liarflman lines erect a central atatlon at '.:ic head of the Park blocks, at the meeting of the East Side Improvement Association. Friday night The Asso ciation laid on the table a resolution disapproving the location of the new central library on the site bounded by Tenth. Eleventh. Yamhill and Taylor street and demanding that the library be built on property facing the Park block. Thratt resolutions were presented by M. G. Munly In behalf of the Greater Portland Plans Association. F. S. Myera and J. B. Zelgler spoke sgalnst the approval of the central library resolution, and said that the proper place for the central library is on the East Side between the new railroad and Broadway bridges neac. Broadway and Union avenue. It was decided to post pone consideration of the site of the central library until next Friday night, wh-n a general meeting will be held. The association adopted a resolution Indorsing the movement for the erec tion of an Interstate bridge across the mains for the property owners to ral-e the remainder of the money and build the extension. The Portland Railway. Light at Power Company withdraws Its demand for a monthly guaranty of 1500 and the only requirement remaining Is that the property owners along the streets occupied by the extension shall not pe tition for a pavement for a period of SVe years. Tha route Is from the cor ner of East Sixtieth and Division streets South to Twenty-ninth avenue, and then east to East Seventy-first street. It Is estimated that the cost will be about 118.000, and of this amount $11. 000 has been subscribed. J. E. Rand, secretary of the committee, aald that tha next movement will be to com plete the amount required to meet the cost of construction, which he said, will not be difficult. It has not been settled who will build the extension. Mr. Fuller said that the property owners might let the contract to any firm, or the railway company could build the line. While the extension will only be built to East Seventy-first street for the present, the Portland Railway, Light at Power Company will build to East Eighty-second street when any com pany will run a line from the outside to that point. It Is thought certain that an extenalon eutslde the East Eighty-second street line will be built either by the Mount Hood Railway ft Power Company or by the owners of the large acreage tracts. Robin H. Lore's Funeral Held. The funeral of Robin H. Love, of Hillsdale, Or., who died Tuesday, Feb ruary (. waa held Thursday afternoon, February 8. at the family residence. Mr. Love had been a resident of Ore gon since 187$ and held the office of road supervisor . at the time of his death. Burial was made In the Sylvan Cemetery. Press Club Meeting Called. The regular quarterly business meet ing of the members of the Portland Press Club win be held in the club quarters In the Elks' building, at I o'clock this afternoon. A full attend ance has been requested as several business matters of considerable Im portance will be brought up for derision. who contemplate making decorations to follow that plan. It Is proposed that the merchants of every block unite for the purpose of establishing uniformity and of avoiding extreme expense. This arrangement. It is believed, will be the most effective. Trimming of the store fronts in every block on a set plan will not prevent the owners of large buildings from carrying out their Individual Ideas In their own decora tions. Substantial prises will be given for the best decorated buildings In the business district, and considerable rivalry already has developed for these honors. City to Aid PI a a. ' In addition to the decorations pro posed by the business men and the owners of the tall buildings, the city Itself will do considerable work toward making Portland a gay and festive metropolis when the Elks are here. Mayor Rushlight, who Is a member of Mr. Burgard's committee, has an nounced his Intention to have the four brldgea brilliantly lighted and to co operate with the Elks in their street illuminations. It is the ambition of every member of thia committee to make Portland the best lighted city that ever entertained the grand lodge. The Mayor hopes to have the bridges permanently Illuminated anyway, and wanta to have the lights placed tor the Elks' convention to stay. It Is none too early, members of the committee say, to arrange details. An Immense quantity of flags and bunting, aa well aa stacks of purple and white material, will have to . be procured. The decorators have served notice on all retail dry goods dealers to lay In plentiful supplies of purple and white bunting. While the Elks will order this material by the bolt for the street decorations, there will be a heavy demand for It at the last moment from Individuals who want to adorn their homes and smaller build ings. Seattle Kimniio. Drawa. According to present indications the excursion to Seattle February 27 will be participated In by fully 100 Portland Elks and Ad Club members, who will go to repay the compliment bestowed upon the local organisation when the Seattle Ad Club. 75 strong, attended the Portland Ad Club'a frolic at the Portland Hotel a few weeks ago.

FARM EXPERTS BID Australian Commissioner Here for Oregon Farmers. ! INDUCEMENT IS OFFERED OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE GLEE CLUB TO MAKE DEBUT HERE FEBRUARY 15 km m ri- k Hi a I , - ; ' 7 j- - jaj -y- V v - . , 1 r - . -a college: boys who will give coxcert at heii.ig. Oregon Agricultural College's Glee and Mandolin Club will descend upon Portland February 15 for the first time since its organization. Members of the club will give a concert at the Helllg Theater and a pro gramme has been arranged that contains both classical and popular music. Owing to the high quality of the work of the Glee Club this year the faculty was persuaded to change Its rule of not allowing the boys to give out-of-town shows. Under the direction of Charles Brewster, an excellent standard has been reached and the members feel certain of success. William Cattanach, Representing State of Victoria, in Antipodes, Wants Irrlgated-Land Work ers to Take Tracts. So successful have been the Oregon farmers in their development of their Irrigated land that the government of Victoria, one of the states of the Aus tralian commonwealth, is offering spe cial Inducements to have some of them go there' and demonstrate the manner in which this work can be done most effectively. William cattanach, a specially-delegated commissioner of the Victoria gov ernment, was in Portland yesterday to Interest farmers of irrigation tracts In this vicinity in the project. "The State of Victoria," he said, "has the sole control of all water supplies within Its boundaries, and has expended about $16,000,000 In works of irriga tion. Large areas, now commanded by ditches, have been redeemed. The gov ernment is offering this land at from $2 to 180 an acre. The terms provide for a cash payment of 3 per cent and 6 per cent per annum on the remainder of the purchase money for 31 Vz years. This meets interest and pays off the purchase price. At the end of 31 Vc years, if the payments have been made regularly, the land holder is free from all debt on his property. Water la sup plied at the rate of $1.25 an acre foot. Americans Are Wanted. "The object of this movement Is to interest Americans, particularly those who have knowledge of agriculture and, preferably. Irrigated agriculture, in our lands. We have a normal cli mate, which is almost the counterpart of the California climate, our average Winter temperature being 49 degrees and the average Summer temperature 65 degrees. "I realize that before we can Anally obtain settlers on all this land It will be necessary to have a limited number of experienced Americans to make the trip and Investigate. For this purpose wa have arranged for an excursion to leave San Francisco on the steamship Tahiti April 3. "The principal reason for activity in America is that the Victorian govern ment is eager to have the American spirit Introduced there. It is particu larly eager to get American settlers, not so much for the benefit that can accrue from them directly, but because they can be made exemplars of what can be obtained from irrigation." Closer Trade Aim Also. While he is on the Coast Mr. Cat tanach will take up the question of arranging closer trade relations be tween his state and the Paclnc coast generally. This, he thinks, will be particularly or mutual Denent Decause Australia, and particularly Victoria, has the advantage of growing fruits and all its other products in the reverse season to all countries north of the equator. "For example, he said, "last year our state put 8000 cases of Bartlett pears on the London market, and for 40-pound cases we obtained prices ranging from $4 to $5.60. All fruits grow well there, and witn tnese nat ural advantages fruitgrowers are sure to reap big returns. "Dairying Is a splendid paying busi ness. Last year s expons were more than $12,000,000." Mr. Cattanach said that he had heard of Oregon's success in fruit-raising, dairying and irrigation for many years. He Is sure that If he can obtain a num ber of practical farmers from this state the problem of settling his home state will be solved, as he Is certain of the soil's possibilities. SEATTLE WILL TAKE PART Potlatch President to Plant Bose at Peninsula Ceremonies. Joseph Blethen, president of the Se attle Potlatch, will plant a rose for Seattle In the sunken rose gardens in the Peninsula Park on the day of the official dedication, February 22, when rose planting ceremonies will be held under the auspices of the Portland Rose Festival Association.
