As yet the steamship company has taken no action but probably will give a definite answer within a few days. Business of the Siuslaw and Umpqua districts has heretofore gone to San Francisco and trade which properly belongs to Portland has gone ta California. With the Argo making veekly trips to these places, the busi aess could be centered in Portland."

MARY'S CHURCH HALL , The hall at St. Mary's Catholic church was crowded Monday night with perhaps 100 little folks and half as many of their elders who had gath ered there to join in the Christmas tree festivities. It was a merry time, a merry time tor both young and old. In one corner of the hall was a Christmas tree that reached from the floor to the ceiling, and it was aflame with tinsel and shiny golden things, and with candles, and heavy with ti membrances for the little ones. In connection with the festivities there was a program which added much to the pleasure of the evening. This consisted of a recitation by Master I Robinson, violin playing by F. and E. Lindstrom, a Telephone Message, by Paulin Duncan, and with musical accompaniment by Mrs. Brooks. Then appeared the most distin guished guest of the night Through the door suddenly walked in Santa Clans, all in furs, with a big white beard, with big top-boots, and loaded down with things for' the little folks. In private life Santa Claus is Mr. Charles Anderson, steward at St Mary's hospital, and nature has gen erously given Mr. Anderson many qualities that make it easy for him to be a typical Santa, not the least of which are hi laugh and his jollity. He had jokes and quips for all the little ones, and fun for the elders as welL One of the funniest features of the evening was the telephone con versations Santa Claus had with his "brother" over the phone, which eon vulsed the little ones. Father Waters and many of his parish were present. A fireman was also present, as a pre cautionary measure in case of any in flammable material catching alight All the children received candies, and several of those who had won merit marks in their classes were giv en book " " POSTPONED SIX MONTHS.
