hulls of the city forthwith; and ak d
for a ruling on tho mattor before he
proceeded further.
Judge Puge, ui oncf called a meet

tho Illness of Commissioner ' Martin
l-'oard, 'tha board wan not ablo to a.
Humbly yesterday, uml will probably
get, together toduy, or tomorrow, or
Juxt us soon as Mr, Fourd Is ablo to
Mlend. Judgo Page says ho desires
th full board to be In uttendunce when
tho matter Is presented In order that
there may be no doubt as to the ac-
lon trfiit may eiinuo In the premls.
In speaking of the subject matter
if Muyor Wise's order, yesterday,
Clial rmntt Page said, to a reporter of
he Axlorlun, In purt:
"U I4 very esNenilul thai this matter
fhall U- deiilt with by the entire coin-
illusion, mid Intelligently at that, slnco
t is to be made a. dlrct lsue, and the
Html rulings must be thoroughly under
stood and appreciated by all partlei
o tho question Involved. For mysolf.
shall Insist that there be no hair-
splitting, no discrimination, no favorl-
Isin whatever In the caso. 1 cannot
see the Justice nor the necessity of
siiialliijf out th dance-hall evil and
euvlng a hundred other evils undls-
lurbed, to (loutifh without question,
egul or otherwise. Gambling, prosti
tution, the mucqucreaux, and all kin
dred engagementa must take their
shure of consideration and adverae ac
tion If any at all la to be meted out,
and It Is my purpose to arrungo mat-
era, In accordance with the law gov
erning tho police commission which
makes It obligatory on the cotnmia-
lon to acquaint tho Mayor and Coun-
II with all infractions of the Uw
known, and discoverable, in the city.
This duty, ui.J thoso of appointing,
and discharging policemen, are all that
ppei'iuln to this' board under the act
reatlng It; and for my part I desire
o !ee what tho Mayor and Council In
tend to do with all the rest of the de
linquents under the ordinances.
"The reports that we shall llle with
the city authorities In this relation,
EASTERN HOSTS ARE
ARRIVING
aie to be quite comprehensive. The
list shiUl Include all the offenses
K.iliiNt the municipal law, the names
f the owners and lessors and lessees
f ull propers li s coming under the
bun, In any of the Illegal pursuits, and
shall be so constructed us to make
manifest to the Mayor und his col
leagues, the sum and scope of evil-
lolng under the charter and ordinan
ce, so that they shall have no cause
to complain of ignorance in connec
tion with the iKHUe that haa been rals
ed.
At the present moment, no one can
say Just how the matter of the order
made on Monday night, and filed here
esterduy by Ch.-f Onmmnl, will even
tuate; But it is likely to be put in
operation simultaneously with a num
ber of like orders directed nga,lnst
other known evils, if the Mayor and
outuil doslre to be Impartial In the
work of closing the town and keeping
It closed, a contingency that will be
lurgely. accelerated by the full and
I specific Information that wjll be sub
Imltted tn them at an earlv day."
From this statement made by the
chairman of the police commission it
of authority and responsibility, under
the laws and charters, ta to be aired
completely and some fixed conclusion
reached that shall lay, for all time,
the vexatious doubts and disagree
ments pending between the two muni
cipal bodies supposed to direct and
maintain the peace and quietude of
the city; and there are none to dis
parage the try-out of the issues, if it
shall be but final.
THOUSANDS REACHING THE
COAST WELCOMING HAND
8HOULD BE EXTENDED TRAV
EL THIS WAY UNPRECEDENTED
PORTLAND, Ore., March IS, 1907.
The campaign of advertising which
has been conducted during the past
ninety days by the commercial bodies
of Oregon composing tho Oregon De
velopment League,- Is bearing fruit.
Much credit for the success of this
1 iHttpalgn Is duo to the press through
out the State, which mi rendered val
uable assistance In exploiting tho col
onist rates which became effective
March 1st and which will continue un
til April 30th .
The rates are the lowest ever made
by the transcontinental railroad ,and
hornescckers, quick to take advantage
of them, are pouring Into Oregon In
onstantly Increasing number'. While
many of these have come through to
Portland, larger numbers have scat
tered to various parts of the State.
It Is now the duty of our citizens to
make these strangers within our gates
feel entirely at home. We should
show thern every attention; give them
all necessary Information; tho effect
of a little encouragement, a little
nelghborliness. During the first few
lays or weeks, will be marvelous, and
as the newcomers become better ac
quainted at clost range with what Ore
gon has for them, they will be thorough
ly glad they are here, and wonder why
they did not come bofore.
How over, It must uui be forgotten
that these low rates will continue for
six weeks' more, and that great work
may be done in that lme. It has1
been said that "PersiHtent Publicity
Pays." Eugene, Grants Pass, Med
ford and Ashland have become firm be
lievers In this doctrine; only last week
the Commercial Clubs those cities,,
assisted by Tom Richardson, Malager
of the Portland Commercial Club, In
augurated vigorous publicity cam
paigns and raised good sums of money
for advertising purposes. '
If other communities, not already
active, will but follow the examples
being set for them from week to week,
and advertise to all the world what
they ave to offer to homeseekers and
investors .the population of the eBav
er state will surely double within a
very few years.

Doing The Tile Work The new and
beautiful bank building erected by
the Astoria Savings Bank, is rapidly
nearlng completion, only the work of
adornment being left to finish. In this
behalf, Fred Wagner of Portland, of
Portland, with a group of skilled work
men, has arrived and ta now engaged
In laying the tile-work in the corri
dors of the building. The work Is very
handsome and will be among the chlea
beauties of the structure. He will al
so do the tile work on the entries and
floors of the new home of the First
National bank, at the corner of Bond
and Tenth streets.
All Want the. Best Wnen one goes
In search of amusement of a certain
kind, as, for instance, a fine line of
moving pictures, he wants the best
and latest and will not be satisfied
with thread-bare and common presen
tations. In this line, the films now on
at the Waldorf are said to be among
the real artistic work of that kind pro
grammed in this western country. In
all there are six of these realistic
strings and all are living portrayals
of the leading events of history, such
as the "Bennington at San Diego;"
the "Transfer of Paul Jones;" the
"Two Champion Wrestling Matches of
the World;" the "Slums of Paris;"
"Monsieur Beaucaire, or the Gentle
man Friend;" and others of equal and
remarkable fidelity, make up a series
of entertaining Items not to be dis
counted in this city.
. We wish to call your attention to the fact
that pur millinery department is under the man
agement of MRS. A. JALOFF, the milliner of
TWELVE YEARS EXPERIENCE, a stand
ing that speaks for itself. We have no left-overs
from 1906. Every one of our hats is the latest
pattern of 1907. We do business on the CALL
AGAIN MOTTO, and do not offer you no
I DO NOT HAVE TO. Our hats are mod-
erately priced, and sell without premiums, BE
CAUSE THEY ARE THE KIND YOU
OUGHT TO WEAR. All we ask of ou is
to give us a call and talk to us about MILLI
NERY before purchasing your hat elsewhere.
