The Portland Transportation Club ti organized four years ago and has experienced an era of development and success seldom equalled oy similar or ganizations. When the club started, it had no regular quarters, but confined Its activities to weekly luncheons. About three years ago clubrooms were opened In the Multnomah Hotel build ing. These served the purpose very well until recently when the steady growth of the organization necessitated larger quarters. The directors fortunately obtained the rooms in - the Merchants' . Bank building which they proceeded to fur nish at an expense of about J3000 Roods Klnaner Enterprise. To finance this enterprise a block of per cent bonds were sold among the members. The . entire issue was sub scribed . within a few weeks after of fered for sale. Indicative of the secure position that the club has established in the business world is the fact that neveral bond brokers in Portland of fered to take the entire Issue at a premium. But the directors preferred to seH the bonds to their own members at par. thus heightening the spirit of co-operation in the ranks. All officials and employes of a rail road or steamship company acting as a -ommon carrier are eligible to mem bership in the club. Traffic managers of Industrial concerns dealing directly with transportation companies also are eligible. The officers are: President, Blaine Hallock: vice-president. W. C. Wilkes: secretary, W. O. Roberts: treasurer, K. W. Mosher: directors. W. F. DaMert, J. H. Mulchay. -George Nielson and Klls . -worth Benham. y4 .4 ' " ' " iinrvi ii - """l ".

With the City Council and partic ularly Commissioner Bigelow. pledged to a policy of awarding municipal con tracts to the lowest responsible bid ders, Alex Young, of the firm of Napier, Jones & Co., public accountants, is at a loss to know why his company failed to get the contract for experting the city's books during this year. The contract was awarded to W. R." Mc- Kenzie & Sons for a maximum of $1850, w-hile the Xapier Company submitted a bid of $1700. The award was made on Commissioner Bigelow's recommendation. "It looks like a case of favoritism." said Mr. Young yesterday. "For three years prior to this year I have been with McKenzie & Sons and have handled the city's audit.

Mr. Napier owns a large home here and the company is thorough ly reliable and responsible. .It seems either a case of favoritism, or fear that our concern , might not fail to disclose anything that migrht be wrong in the city affairs.' v Commissioner BircIow, at the time the award of contract was before the Council, said the Napier company was new in Portland nd its permanency was not certain and that was his rea son for recommend in (? against the com pan y.

CHRIST SPIRIT IN PRISON MILLIOVAIRK WHO SKRVKn TIME AVRITKS FOR MAGA.IK. Man Snyu Character In TVot Xerraaa Wrecked by Mottle M intake, and Ordeal May Be Purlfylnfc. rlly I'. A. Hyde. Oakland, Oal., millionaire, who came into unfavorable notice when Theodore Roosevelt, then President, caused the prosecution of the principals in the Hyde-Benson timber frauds, the result bein? that Hyde was sentenced to serve two years in the Federal prison at Atlanta, has written an article for The. Comforter, a, local magazine, on "The Christ spirit As I Found It in Prison." Hyde was sentenced to serve two years and pay a fine of $10,000. After 16 months, however, he was pardoned and the fine remitted. He now makes his home at Oakland, and it was there that Florence Crawford, editor of The Comforter, met him lat year. She was impressed by the thought that he was a sincere, earnest man, responsible for having done much to aid the prisoners at Atlanta, although he said nothing of his pood works. In his article, which Is printed in the May issue of The Comforter, Hyde says; A man's chnracter i not necma.rily wrecked by a -Initio mistake. Ther tare good men in our prisons, and bad men mho never nt there. As a iccneri.1 rule it is presumed that a man learns by his mistakes. If he puts his hand in the tire he Is burned and will not repeat the experiment. If by cirelesansa hla health Is impaired he is presumed to b more carer ui in t ne xuture. If he makes a bad Investment. It teaches him wisdom In subsequent transactions. We do not now apply the same reasoning to those who suffer the consequences of their disregard of our statute laws, but when our prlsona become truly places for moral and mental discipline and we evolve a system bv which a man's release is dependent upon his beiue adjudged flt for liberty, then w can hope that a certificate of discharge from a penitentiary, so far from Injuring his chances for employment and association with hi fellows, will be in fact a cert id eation that he has passed through the Xiery ordeal of trial and emerged purified, and that he has learned his lesson and will profit by it. a. propo by City to a, strict code of sanitation is sttton put up to Mayor Albee Health Officer Marcellus. The Council recently passed an or d Ina nee imposing- rigid conditions on dairies havinar more than two cows. Complaints immediately came up re-pardlng- dairies In the district south of Alberta. An investigation was made by Dr. Marcellus and other health offi cials and it was found that two five cow dairies which are affected by the ordinance will be put out of business. Both are exceptionally clean. The or dinance will not a,ffect a. two-cow dairy In the same neighborhood which Dr. Marcellus says is about the limit for Insanitation. Homesteader's Cabin Burned.
