We are not bound by an agree ment that because all the good men are signed up with' some other league we will content ourselves with playing bum ball. Not a bit of It. We have proved that we can pay salaries that are as good as any offered in the' United States, and we will maintain this high salary standard and as a result give the people the finest base ball they have ever seen. Despite the large outlay w made for players last base ball year our returns have been the best ever, and the prospects are as bright as anyone could wish.",. -.'

CAPITOL HEATED WITH WOOD WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. Because of the scarcity of anthracite coal the Na tional House of Representatives Is being heated with common, old-fashioned cord wood. Between seven and eight cords of wood a day are being heaped Into the furnaces. It is the first time since the present hall of the House was completed In December,. 1257, that anything but coal has been used to heat It. On the Senate side things are a little better, but the supply of coal is so lim ited that careful calculations have to be made from day to day as to the amount that can safely, be used, the number of elevators that can be run, etc. POULTRY SHOW AT ALBANY . ALBANY, Ore.. Dec. 22. The poultry show which opened here today is pro nounced by expert fanciers to be one of the best ever given In Oregon. The die play comprise nearly a thousand high bred chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks and pigeons, together with a choice assort ment of rabbits, guinea pigs and other pet stock. The exhibition will continue three day and from preseftfcJndlpatlojj the attendance will be of rerd-breaking proportion.

" Owners of G!eoley Spurn an Offer ; r of 20 Sailings to Go to v : ' .'; Cape Town. ' l Indications of the' past day or two show that charter rates are picking up some what. The ruling rate for the past few wetks from Portland and the Sound to itouth Afrloa has been a trifle jover U ibllltngs. Yesterday the owners of the Biltlsh ship Glenley, which la lying at Seattle, refused an offer of 30 shillings to take a cargo to Cape Town. To Syd ney. Australia, the rate has been about IS shilliiiKS, but the owners of. -the Nor mla are asking 18. On Tuesday, however, they refused an offer of 17 shillings. ' MAT COMBINE. The French vessels en route to the North Paelflo ports are about all en gaged, and this is believed to be the prin cipal, reason for the Improvement In the charter market When the bounty-fed Frenchmen are out of the way, the out. look will be much better for the British and German . owners. Mors vessels will be needed here yet to move the grain crop, and by combining . their interests they can raise the prioe to. what they think it ought to be. , Whether they will do so. or not. remains to be seem, Some of the exporters are of the opinion that such a procedure would be Impracticable, as. the owners would fall to hang to gether. They opntend that the owners would Jump at the first good rate of fered, and competition would soon become so keen that the combine would break. The. Normla mentioned as having re jected 17 shillings is due to arrive at Portland, the. . latter . part of this wonth. ' She is coming from Hamburg with a cat go consigned to Meyer, Wilson St Co. OSAKA EXHIBIT COLLECTIONS B)ard of Trade Mast Raise $800 and Has Collected but $187.50. Despite the recent dissensions In the Portland Board of Trade, the collections to the Osaka exhibit are coming In slowly but surely, and no doubt the full amount -of $8$)0 will be forthcoming -when the time comes for "the money to be turned over xa. Ui E'alr .CpajmlUe.e.. At the presen; time" President "Beach has charge, of he oi tettHms,i7d -hiftmtt. Walter G. Hayes and J. G. Royle are so liciting the subscriptions. The collections to date ammmi to $187.50, and the balance will be collected In a comparatively short time. When questioned about thlstOsaka ex hibit fund, James M. Moore, ex- secre. tary of the Board of Trade, said to a Journal representative: "I know nothing about It. There is but one man who has assumed charge of It, and no one else seems to know anything about it. Mr. Beach, I suppose, may be said to be In charge of It, and Mr. Hays Is doing the collecting." It Is understood thnt the other commer cial organisations of Portland the Cham ber of Commerce and the Manufacturers' Association have already collected their quota and their money Is waiting to be 'turned ever to the committee when the Board of trade has completed lta collec tions. The sums to be co!!ectedby the various organizations are: Chamber of Commerce $900, Board of trade S00, and Manufacturers' Association $300. O'CONNOR'S ANNIVERSARY. NEWARK. N. J., Dec. 22.

An Sast Rid Sagllshman has received a big plum pudding from his old home across the water. He thought when he first saw the package that It was a bag of lead, so heavy was it.' Postage on the pudding was nearly $1. A small Are broke out in the tailor shop of R. Llppman at 171 First .treat at :30 Saturday evening. The bias, was the result of an over-industrious stove used for the purpose of heating Irons. An alarm was turned In from box No. 13. at First: and, Morrison street, and before the fire department arrived" the Ore had apparently gained a good head way. After a half, hour's fight tn. blase was extinguished. The hallway, and up stairs rooms were badly smoked and th. woodwork of the tailor .hop was scorched to, quite an extent.

The delivery waa a one-horse vehicle and one of the shafts penetrated and . remained fixed In the rear end of the car. Fortunately th. horse was quite gentle and the oar wa. brought to a stop In time to prevent any great damage. A meat saw was brought from the Palace Market, In front of which the accident occurred, and the shaft was sawed in two. While the driver of the express wagon was repair ing the damages by .means of a strap the car- continued Its way with the splin tered end of the shaft still protruding from the rear.

The coming session of the Legisla ture means much to th. residents of the eastern section of th. city. New bridge, are wanted in various locations, and several ferries are petitioned for. The Sell wood Board of Trade and the South 'Portland Improvement Associa tion have Joined hands In asking the Legislature, to provide 'a ferry beat to ply between those point. At first it was thought.' it would' be much bettef and ' cheaper- for the county to " con struct a suspension bridge between Mill wood and South Portland, but It was found th. project was Impracticable on account of th. great, amount of work that would have to be done to make an approach to the structure on the Wast Side of the river. However, at the last meeting of the Sellwood Board of Trade, the ferry .committee 'Was Instructed to go ahead and do alt In its power to further the project. The committee from the Bell wood' Board of Trade consist, of J. M. Nlckum. A. N. Willi., Edward Curtis. W. a Plttlng.r, B. B. Madden and Presi dent Donaugh. The committee appoint ed by the South Portland organization will work In harmony with the board from the opposite side of th. river. .ANOTHER ALBINA FERRT. The Alblna Improvement Association has decided that since that section of the city is growing too rapidly for the limited transportation facilities now there connecting It with the West Side, they will also petition th. Legislature to grant them a ferry. The claim is mad. that th. present steamer, the W. 8. Mason, - Is too . mall to handle the fast increasing trafllo for points beyond the river, A committee ha. been ap pointed for th. purpose of letting the Multnomah delegation know their wants and a communication has been sent to th. Central Alblna Board requesting their co-operation. If th. ferry Is se cured, it la th. Intention to have a land ing at the foot of Russell street. NEW MORRISON STREET BRIDGE. Central East Portland is not to be be hind tn asking for favor from the Leg islature, and the East Side Improve ment Association, through Its bridge Committee, has already prepared a pe tition to the Legislature asking thai a steel bridge be constructed from the foot of Morrison street In place of the wooden structure there at -present. Ac cording to prominent members of the association,, It wlU. be. but a very short, time before the- present bridge will have td be closed. r-Tcrtittr -la done, iavu Central East Portland will be without proper communication with the West Sid. Th. petition asks that a bridge similar to the one at Burnslde street be constructed. BANK CLEARINGS FOR THE WEEK Show Marked Increase Over Last Year Balances Almost Double. The business of the Portland Clearing House for the past week shows a murkt-d Increase over the same last year. In fact, the general banking business In this city this year far surpasses any previ ous year. There is but one reason that can be assigned for this, and that Is the increase tn general trade activity in Port land. Business has never been better since the pioneer day. and all markets have a tendency to keep up price, on nearly all commodities. It Is always a reasonable conclusion, that whenever bank clearings show a marked Increase, It Is due to the general p!sperlty-f ;.the. tnereontKe -establish--menff of a "Ideality. The balances, also, are to he .considered as probably the main factor of prosperity of the business men. and the past week's balances in this city show an Increase of almost twice the amount over the same week last year. The bank clearings for the past week show an increase of ' more than $105,000 over th same week last year. The Clearing House exchanges and bal ances for the past week are as follows: Exchanges.
