More startling stunts this week in
connection with Letter-Writing- week
than Portland has ever seen before
since the Elks' convention are planned.
A score of clubs are waiting for an OP'
portunity to spring- the sensations.
The Ad Club, evidently assuming; that
a 20-foot mailbox, like the one that
was set up yesterday by the Fostof-
fire for Letter-Writing week, should
call for a correspondingly titanic let
ter. have prepared one in an envelope
four by ten feet, and will mail this
with all ceremony on Wednesday, which
is the day set aside for them to dom
inate the observance of Letter-Writ-
Ins week in Portland.
Four men will carry this colossal
envelope through the streets on
Wednesday, and it is to go, as it is.

carrying wherever it goes the name of
Portland and the fame of the big bid
lor tourist travel in 1316.

as they have in Portland.
Tomorrow morning all Oregon will
begin the bombardment of the East

well.
roe Chamber or commerce has an
tiounced encouraging reports from, all
sections of Oregon.
The committee headed by A. 51. Grll
lcy has visited every firm In the city
and has obtained splendid co-operation.
Kveryone of them will send from 20 to
600 letters to business men cf the Bast
- men whose families go somewhere
during the hot season every Summer.
The railroads and the schools are do-
J riff their parts whole-heartedly, and
there seems every reason to predict
that the week will see more than
i'. 000, 000 letters sent oat of the Stat
m world-wide invitation to pass the
bummer in Oregon.
Whistles to Shriek at Nms.
At noon tomorrow the whistles of the
city will make a noise like New Year's

When the hour arrives the big letter

Bis Avani. a younj Austrian, was in a
dire predicament yesterday morning.
Iteputy Sheriff "Bob" Phillips and At
torney Ralph Hurlburt were roughly
ordered off the premises when they
endeavored to reason with Charles
Kelt, the landlord, yesterday, but later
friends of the young man smuggled
clothing to him and secured his re
lease. a replevin action to secure the re-
turn of the clothing will probably be
started, or larceny charges brought if
it is proved that the young man paid
ine rental Sunday, a he maintains.
Kelt awakened him at 2 o'clock
terday- morning and demanded $5 in
rent. Avani declared that he did not
owe more than J2 af the most, as he
had paid the landlord Sunday.
There was in the lad's cloth
ing and this was confiscated, appar
ently. Yesterday morning the young
man could not get out to raise more
money, nor to swear out a warrant for
the arrest of the landlord, and had no
telephone in his room, so was in a
sorry plight until a friend learned of
his trouble.

C. S. Freeland, of Kugene, class orator.
. G. Jones, In his address on the
"Higher Philosophy of the Scottish Kite
Degrees at the cathedral yesterday
morning, covered the phases of man's
lire. He said in part:
"If we find" comfort in the whole
some illusions of life, let us encour
age these Illusions to the end of our
days. Old age without illusions Is
tragedy, with death only as the 'prom
ise of the future. A drift from the
illusive in life is always toward the
cynical and misanthropic. The end of
all knowledge reaching for the ulti
mate analysis of human nature is mis
ery and unhappiness. 'Live and learn,'
paraphrased into an axiom of life that
may often be used for our guidance, is
Live and forget.
Danger Is There.
"There is danger in sinking; too deep
in the well of knowledge. We see the
end of hope and promise of life only
when our ideals of living vanish into
thin air. An illusion of life that af
fords us comfort may merge nearer
into the realism of a truth than we
picture, even in our fondest fancies."
At the meeting of the class yester
day afternoon Mr. Jones was chosen an
honorary member.
A banquet and reception to the new
members, on whom degrees had been
conferred during the three days of the
reunion, followed the closing ceremo
nies of the work last night.

is a broad-minded, capable woman
outside the field of music. She admitted
to a reporter recently that she has de
signed house plans since she was a
child.
The bungalow In the White Moun

her husband pass their Summers, Is of
her own planning, and is said to com
bine beauty and simplicity with gen

decorations and color schemes are her
own. The Indian room has excited
much comment, with rugs, baskets,
cushion covers of red and black and
white, 'standing out in crisp, cool con
trast with the creamy walls and hard
wood floors, built of the native wood.
Madame Powell says she is proud of
the fact that she has inherited from
her German-Hungarian mother not only
musical talent, but a gift for making
plants grow and thrive. She is a great
lover of flowers, and often has said
half in jest, half in earnest, "Should

"For many years," he said, "the lack

She doesn't know why, but there
seems to be an instinct in her hands
that enables her to succeed with
plants. She knows she ought to wear
gloves when gardening, but she man

finds herself patting the soft earth on

nails. As a child, she had an abiding
curiosity to know the wild flower, and
