'after an absence of 14 years from the city of Portland, , James A. Chase this morning walked to . the dealt In the lobby of the Hotel Per- kins' and aalJ: ' "I sea you have been changing things around some since last I was here." 'That so? I don't recall It To what " 6 j you referf said Room Clerk Reed. i "Why, the desk used to be is the cor ' tier of the building- next the street." "Well, it has been right here for years." Mr. Reed said, "but I believe thm-e was a time when It was over where you say. Must have been some tiiMf since you were here. "Just 10 years," was the reply. "I'm going to get some brea kfast and then " out and see what other changes buvo been made In that length of time." To a reporter for The Journal, who wait standing by and overheard the above conversation, Mr. Chase made light of his feat of memory. Am Many engages. "Nothing strange. I assure you." he aid. "ir just remembered It, that's all. The business section of Portland has l-uilt up wonderfully since last I was tiere and I i-wea-rather surprised than otherwise to note so little difference In the hotel." Mr. Chase fimr to Portland from SnAttlo and has fur several months been ngiiged in business with Alaskan points. "t made nve trips to the North in a little over a year," he said. "I am in terested In the oil deposits that have bwn discovered there and at one time went In search of the elusive gold girlns. Needless to add, I found them Tot. "That was In the early nineties. I wsnt Into the interior w!tb ono partner, umo money and a good outfit. I re turned without a dollar along with 4,000 othens in exactly the same fix." Asked If he thought the gold fever hhd burned itself out n the North .Mi. Chase emphatically said no. The travel toward the North fell off for a time," he said, "but last year it picked up again and this season there will be more than ever. There la plenty ef rold stUl to be found in the Nome country, but it will take modern ma chinery and plenty of capital to develop It. In many places water must be brought a long distance and the cost of Setting it to the mines Is enormous. Hut when It does come the return is many hundred times the amount of the investment."

Mr. Chase will remain several days In Portland and then continue on his way toward San francisco and his home In Los Angeles. He Intends returning to Alaska at a later date. FIRE COMMITTEE MEETS. The Are committee of the executive Board held a short meeting yesterday aftrrnoon. The principal topic of dis cussion waa the disposal of an old Are engine horse which had outgrown his usefulness. Chief Campbell stated that the horse had been out of commission for two weeks and at present was eat . log his head off. T do not know what to do with him." aid the chief. "He would be a very good borse on a farm If he were not worked too hard. He has been a good servant or the city and deserves to be taken care of in his old age. 1 have been offered $2S for him by a man that would take care of him. but this i not be allowed by the new charter, which provides that all sales be mare at pub lic auction." Mayor Williams, after thinking the natter over, rendered an opinion that the puoiic auction could be dispensed with and the Chief waa Instructed to dispose ot the horse. There was little discussion of the pro posed, flreboat. Chief Campbell was asked If it would be possible to use the flreboat as a tug between the Intervals ti river-front fires. A certain amount of team has to be kept up all the time Oil thA tnmf.. . . .... t,unnupu inougm mat this un used power might be made effective for wwuis purposes. The chief did not ppruve or mis, ror the boat might be ome distance away when needed. "Senator Mitchell wishes It distinctly understood that he never was 'serlouHly 111.' as expressed In some papers. He Mnnnt lin arui A till whv thpfll IlilDP P . l 3 . I I I. n ' mniA ' rnaae so mucn ui m iviicbh. mi George C. Stout , this morning to The Journal. The last time I saw the Senator was on March 20. On that day he appeared even healthier than he had ever been In Portland. He was In the best of health and repudiated any suggestion that he was afflicted with an incurable stomach trouble." Mr. Stout returned two days ago from Washington, where he was admitted to the Supreme Court. While there he argued the case 'of Whitney vs. Baratt. This case has been before the courts for a number of years and involves some timber land in the State of Washington. Ms.. Stout also visited the Cities of New York, Phlladelphlt and Baltimore. ; Working for Oregon. "I spent about two weeks in Washing ton, and during that period saw much of Senator Mitchell, yet he did not once complain of being ill. He was always busy running around among the various departments of the Government looking out for the Interests of Oregon." "Did you see much of Senator Ful ton, also?" was asked. "Well, when you see Mitchell you see Fulton. They are the best of friends and always go together. Mr. Fulton has been In Washington for a comparatively short time, yet he seems to be acquaint ed with everybody of any Importance." Referring again to Mr. Mitchell's Ill ness, Mr. Stout said that the Senator had been down with a serious case of grip. "Justices White, McKenna and Day had the same ailment, yet the newspapers did not make much or it. iiie only rea son that Senator Mitchell can assign for the press dispatches stating that his condition was dangerous was because his physicians kept him confined to his rooms for about a month. fair Well Advertised. "I heacd many people say that they will be out here in 1906." said Mr. Stout. "While I was conversing with a number of prominent men in the lobby of a Washington hotel they expressed their wish that our Exposition should not be like the others that it should have more of a Western flavor, depleting the resources of the West rather than the East. ' What the Eastern people who will be here In 1905 expect to see is something original. "Speaking about the Lewis and Clark Fair reminds me that I met John Bar rett ' at the Waldorf-Astoria In New York," continued 'Mr. Stout. "He ex pects to be in Portland during the visit of the President When I caught sight of him he was telling a group of people of the beauties of Oregon and of the great Fair we are going to have In Port land. Barrett seems never to tire of booming the Lewis and Clark Fair." The City & Suburban Company is mak ing extensive Improvements to its road bed on the St. Johns, line. The company Is completing the lowering of Its grade In the vicinity of the new power house at Vledmont and a double track Is also be ing built at that point to do away with many vexatious delays in switching. The work of building the double trsck on Mlsslslppl avenue and extenulng the Lower Albina branch up 'that thorough fare to connect with the St. Johns line will be begun during the early summer. With the extension of the Lower Albina line the company will run its St. Johns cars direct into the city and -do away with the transfer point at Piedmont. The Upper Albina cars will then run to the site of the new power station and trans fer to the St. Johns car at that point. The extension of the lower line will ef fect a saving of about two miles in run ning distance and much better time will then be made. Out-Off laves Time. The cut-off at Northern Hill is near Ing completion and 'the tracks have been laid nearly the entire route. When com1 pleted the St. Johns cars. Will run on the cut-off to the end of the line and then return to the city by way of the old route. A distance of about a mile will be saved by this route. Several more sidetracks and switches will be constructed along the line and when everything l completed the dis tance to St. Johns from this city by elec trie car will be cut in third. . The City & Suburban Company Is con' structlng several new cars In Its Savler street barn for this route and they will be put on the run as soon as completed. A lS-mlnute schedule will likely be put In effect before the end of the year. 10 Cloth Gloves, with button, pair 25c The Lace Glove, short and elbow ' lengths, 25c, 50c and , $1.00 Fancy Drop-Stitch Hose, 50c grade, for Saturday, 3 pair for $1.00 NECKWEAR GALORE Choice Bishop Creations, at 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c and.. $1.00 Great Sale on Oraniteware. 35c Size of Tea or Coffee Pots 28c; 50c stee 34c 65c size' 44c.

At gieeem eisij sbsrst UcaadMcprjtckat EASTER FLOWERS IN PLENTY (Journal Special Service.) ' NEW YORK, April 3. A visit to the large and fashionable florists' establish ments in Fifth avenue would indicate that Easter flowers this year are of unlimited supply as well as luxuriant variety, though the prices are not such as to tempt the person of average means to make large purchases. Tfi"e Illy con tinues the typical Eastern flower and It is hard to estimate even roughly tho great number of these beautiful blos soms that will be sold In the metropolis during tho next two days. The most of the Easter lilies Jiere are Imported from Bermuda, where Illy-growing for the American market is one of the chief industries of the inhabitants. A number of innovations In floral decorative schemes have been introduced this ' year. Ribbons re being used more largely by -the florists Jhan ever ueiure. in cnuron oecorauon wnue, purple and lavender tints are used, and for home decoration all the delicate tints are employed. x The City & Suburban Company will, beginning with tomorrow evening, in crease the service on Its Various East Side lines. The 10-mlnute cars on the Sunnystde-Mt. Tabor line will be sup plemented by a number of additional cars running as far as Sunnyslde and making the new schedule every five min utes Instead of the 10-mlnute schedule as at present. More cars will be put on the Monta-villa-East Ankeny line and the schedule will be changed so that cars will be operated every 15 minutes Instead of every 20 minutes, as at present. The other lines will be given better service as occasion demands. Good appetite waits on Monopole groceries. IRELAND PROSPEROUS. LOXPOtf, April 8. Two British peers have-offered to provide tho capital neces sary vto aid the Industrial development of Ireland. The country is now said to b prosperous, compared to former times, and railroads are to be constructed- . FLEGEL INVESTIGATES. -Councilman Flegel has adopted the Parkhurst method and has been making some personal investigations on his own account of the dives in the North End. There was a special meeting of the license committee yesterday and Flegel told of some of the discoveries which !fe had made. Among others was that of a saioon ana combination house which has not yet gone through the formality of prucurnig a license, xne committee dis cussed the matter and as a consequence the proprietor will not have an od- portunlty to sell liquor in Portland for some time to come. There was an application before th board to grant a license for a saloon on Second street at the premises form erly occupied by Mother Olcease. The license was denied as the board declared that it did not wish to open the old re sort, which had once been a notorious dive. bUr than SourJ newpzis(ry4lelights The directors of the Portland Woolsn Mills m.t Wednesday nigrnt and decided that it would be against thtlr btst in terests to . allow their employes to he long to a labor organisation. Turthtr mors they decided to take such steps as are necessary in order to prevent a union being formed. This action' Is , due to the fact that the mloys. effected '.a temporary or ganization last Saturday night and sent for a charter. The mill is located at Sail wood, i&nd orders were. sent there last' evening fpr .them to give up all Inten tions of carrying . out their plans of forming a permanent union. The offl cers of the temporary organization be came Indignant and 'phoned down to Portland for an organiser to go up there at once to see . what could be done about the matter. There are in the neighbor hood of 130 employes, and their tem porary organization is known as the Textile Workers' Union. Practically all of them Joined Saturday night, and it Is believed In labor circles that the stand taken by the direttors of the factory is going to lead to serious trouble. It is the Intention, they Btate, to render tho employes every assistance and see that their organization Is not Interfered with by the proprietors. . J. H. Howard, of Oregon City, an or ganizer for the American Federation of Labor, organized the textile workers In his home town, as well as those at BZil wood. He waa assisted by Harry Rog ers of Portland. In speaking about the matter, Mr. Rogers said: Xrftbor Man Talks. "It Is not my Intention in organizing new unions to create dissension between the employers and employes. My object is the direct opposite to that. I believe in the policy of conciliation and con servatism. My object is not to disor ganize or disrupt, but to benefit all par ties alike, the. employers and employed. If the proprietors understood the matter more thoroughly they would have an entirely different conception of labor or ganizations. Our mission is not to create a spirit of . Ill-feeling and discontent, as home are led to believe who have a superficial, knowledge', of our work. We want to place all the mills on an equal f"oting, so that they can compete with t-EK-h other to advantage. In California some of the woolen mills are employing Chinese labor. We intend to do away wfch this and' have whites employed In their stead at the same rate of wages paid here in Oregon. This will benefit the Oregon mill and put them in a posi tion to compete with the California fac tories. At present the Oregon mills are placed at a great disadvantage." The Other Side. E. L. Thompson, manager of the Port land Woolen Mills, declined to state whether or not he is opposed to labor unions. -He did say, hjjwever, that he lwlieved a. union would do no good at Sell wood. I do not ee," "he continued, "why it is that California agitators should come tu here and endeavor to create dissatis faction among our employes. They were contented and happy, and were and still are drawing 10 per cent more in wages than any-other textile workers on the Pacific Coast I have been a labor ing man myself, and know how to sym pathize with them. I want then to get every dollar that they can, and they will get good pay as long as I have anything; to say. about It. We are getting no Kraft lit our business. We Intend to build up a sreat enterprise and will be con tented with email profits. The employes will always be treated, right Our build ing la a model, from a sanitary stand point, and the employes are satisfied with their condition." Offloers Sleeted. The permanent organization-of the Shipping, Receiving, Order Clerks, Por ters' and Packers' Union has been effect ed with the following officers: Charles Phelan, president; A.
