Within the city of Portland there are
60 hotel and more than half a nun
dred, ; lodging house, yet every night
the -leading lustelrles of the town ar
turning away scores of guests because
of lack of accommodations. "If the
hotel cannot accommodate .the visitors
now, what will they do during the Lewi
and Clark centennial T" Is a question
that la perplexing th minds of the
people. Nearly every traveler who
cornea to Portland nowadays makes the
remark:
'This city needs more hotels."
While they say the . accommodation
are not Insufficient, as plotured by some.
the hotel men do not hesitate to say
that there Is room for at least one more
now.
Sixty hotels sounds like a large num
ber, but It must be taken into consid
eration that the great majority of theae
ar small.
The Portland, Imperial and the Per
kins are the largest The Belvedere,
International, Grand Central, Qulmoy
and a dosen more, are capable of accom
modating from 60, te 100 guests each.
Among the 50 lodging nouses many
are of the finest, but transients hsve
little time to hunt them up. so they
complain because of the lack of good
hotels.
The Portland, Imperial, Perkins and
Belvedere have a total of 620 rooms,
capable of accommodating about '826
persons. The Portland has available
240 rooms and can take care of 800
guests. The Imperial and Perkins each
have 160 room and can lodge about
z25 persona each. The Belvedere has
60 rooms and can care for about i.
The Grand Central has about 100
rooms and can take care of 175 guests.
The St. Charles has 160 rooms and the
Esmond has slmost an equal number.
There is no doubt that we could use
more hotels In Portland." said Chief
Clerk A. H. Gattls of the Imperial, "but
with the large number of good lodging
houses anyone can And accommodations
at the present. There is bound to be
lack of room when the Lewis and Clark
exposition opens. That Is true of any
city. On numerous occasions I have vis
ited New Orleans during the Mardl
Gras. The hotels and lodging houses
were always crowded. It was the same
way In Chicago during the world's
fair. Why. people had to sleep on roofs
and In tents."
In the matter of places to eat Port
land Is amply provided. The hotels all
have restaurants. Aside from the hotel
restaurants there are about 115 other
eating houses.

Chief Bunt's Bid .
of n.
Notwithstanding Chief of Police
Hunt' order that officer shall not eat
while on night duty, th patrolmen ar
enjoying their meal aa usual. More
than one officer haa said that he would
first be discharged before going 10 hours
without a bite to eat. The men regard
the order a the utmost foolishness, and
have paid no attention to it, in spite of
the chief statement that It wop Id be
enforced to th letter.
Chief Hunt said last week, after ther
had been general complaint regarding
th new regulations, that his orders of
February 27 regarding meal hours had
not been changed. Policemen on the
night shifts to which the chief person
ally delivered the Instructions, say that
Chief Hunt did state positively and
without equivocation that ther waa to
be no eating while the night men were
on duty.
Tim Allowed for Heal.
Th order of February 27 give the
day officer an hour for meals and th
night men half an hour, allowing them
the privilege of eating one at a time at
the police station, or those on outsld
beats half an hour, to eat lunches which
they carry with them.
In explaining his new regulation
Chief Hunt said that he had only called
attention to the order of last February,
which had not been changed. He stated
that he did not want his men to leave
their beats for lunch or to go Into res-
tauranta or saloons.
A patrolman said that Chief Hunt did
ay positively that the men were not
to eat during the eight hourr tney ar
on duty. This means tney must go
without food for 10. hours. Including the
hour before and after work It takes to
reach their homes.
Men Still rating.
But In spite of the chief's Instructions
some of the men are eating at the sta
tion, others are patronising restaurants,
while some carry lunches.
'I would like to know how Chief Hunt
would appreciate walking a beat for
eight hours without getting a mouthful
of food. saWft an officer. "Even if a
man carries his lunch, It is far from
satisfactory to eat It dry out In the
cold air In a patrol-box. It Is hard
work walking about the streets for eight
straight hours, add a man needs a warm

his hours of labor. For my part, I shall

HISTORICAL HOMES
TO BE TORN DOWN
Two historical houses relies of olden
days, thrust aside In the march of Im
provement, are about to be torn down.
When Henry Welnhard erected his
large seven-story brick structure at the
corner of Fourth and Oak streets, the
old 8avler residence stood upon the
ground. The landmark was moved
onto the lot adolnlng, where It has since
remained. Now "Mr. Welnhard Is pre
paring to erect another seven-story
building alongside his recently built
structure. The Savler residence will
now have to be torn down In order to
make room for the new structure. It
is so large that moving it through the
streets is considered Impossible.
The Burnslde residence, another relic
of bygone days, by the side of the
Savler residence, will have to be moved
for the same purpose and preparations
are now being made for that work.
FINISHING TROLLEY

Track has been laid' a mile beyond
Eagle creek, on the extension of the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany's line to Sprlngwater. The bridge
over Eagle creek, the last one on the
branch, will be completed within the
next ten days.
About eight miles more of track re

road will be in operation Js not known.
as workmen are still, working In a cut
this side of the bridge.
"The contractors," said Auditor Grant
of the road, "expect to complete the
cut within three weeks, but If they
strike a clay formation Is will take
much longer." i
The extension will be 40 miles in
length. Electric cars will be operated
over It. At present the trolley line ex
tends to Lents, seven miles southeast
of Portland. Steam is used as far as
Boring, 28 miles away.
No trace of William Daly, the mor
phine eater who escaped from the county
rockplle Monday, has yet been discov
ered. Daly Is without his usual supply
of morphine and the police believe that
he will return to the city In order to
secure the drug, and a he Is well
known likely to be caught.
Sheriff Storey, who had charge of Daly
is also at work on the case, but he has
no report of his Investigation to offer to
the public.
County Judge Webster visited the rock
plle yesterday afternoon, and learned
that both Welch and Da.ly had escaped
over the bluff on the west side of the
Taylor.'s ferry road. Judge Webster haa
decided to strengthen the fence surround
ing the pile, and also to have a covering
constructed to protect the prisoners from
both the sun and the rain. The prison
ers, who are now enjoying a vacation,
will return to work Friday when the cov
ering will be completed.
A variety of tea. never seen here be

the Oriental liner Indravelli. It Is la
beled opium leaf tea and is consigned
to an Eastern firm.
The leaves are almoat whole some
of them at leastand to the eyes of th
customs officials have a suspicious look.
The officials say they bear little resem
blance to the leaves from the ordinary
tea plant '
Whether or not the leaves were Im
pregnated with opium, Is a -question
aaked at the Alaska dock yesterday, as
small samples were taken from the
packages of the goods to be forwarded
to the government tea sampler at Ta
coma, to whom samples of every for

any of that tea." remarked a bystander
who was Interested in operations at the
dock.

opium, and upon reaching its destina

Of the goods there are 25 packages,
each of which weighs approximately
70 pounds. The name does not appear
on the outside of the packages, but Is

In a sworn statement. Thomas Hall.
a resident and a property owner of
Portland for thirty years, says that he
began an attachment suit against Mr.
and Mra. Powell for which he had no
ground whatever. The suit was filed In
the East Side justice court on August
16, and on the same day a writ of at
tachment upon Mrs. Powell's furniture
was served by Constable Keenan. The
allegation of the complaint was that
Mrs. Powell was Indebted to him (or
rent for one of his houses, which she
occupied. On August 20, according to
the reoords of the court, the case was
dismissed upon motion of Hall.
Frank and May Powell had rented a

"There were no grounds for Mrs:

This is a busy firm, and the month
of August so far Is an exceptionally
busy one. Of the many transactions In
farm lands are the following: The Al

acres, at 1100 an acre; the J. L. Zelgler

In the past almost every conceivable

to evade the law. but nearly all of them

A Hoted Pirate,
In 1893 the steamship Haytlen Re
public, the famous pirate, was plying
between Portland and the Orient, and
for a long time was believed to be en
gaged In a legitimate business. At th
same time, as subsequently shown,sh
was engaged almost exclusively In th
wholesale smuggling of Chinese and
opium Into the T'nlted States.
Government officials suspected her and
upon every Inward voyage kept a close
watch on the vessel. One night the
steamer was anchored far down the
stream, and members of the cte'lwere
seen throwing what appeared to be lirge
boxes Into the river. The next mom
ing an examination of the locality was
made and several large air-tight cases
containing opium were drawn ashore.

THEATERS
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
WOULD SETTLE TBB 8TBIXB.
Portland, Aug. 25 To the Editor of
The Journal Dear Sir: The present
seems an opportune time to- test both
the temper of the people and the merits
of my plun of arbitration for the settle
ment of labor disputes. The plumbers
am on strike at the present time, and
printers are demanding shorter hours
which their employers say they cannot
concede without driving a great deal of
the printing that ought to be done at
home to Eastern firms. With the right
or tne wrong, the justice of Injustice of
the claims of either or any of the dls
putants, 1 have nothing to say; but this
I have to say that I will fully dlacuss
the situation on Thursday night at the
A. O. U. W. hall, and most earnestly
request tha contending parties to at
tend and show the public why the said
public should suffer on their account, or
whv tho present trouble should not bo
settled by arbitration as provided In
my plan. I will put tho platform at
their disposal and receive and treat
them with the courtesy ever due to re
spectability. Nothing but a stubborn
determination on both sides to leave
the Issue to brute force rather than In
telligence and Justice can prevent the
present trouble from being settled at
once.
Hoping that both sides will at least
come and hear what I have to say on
the subject and tho labor question gen
erally on Thursday evening.

Buyer." which he will produce at the
Marquam Orand theatre, was taken
owns a little store in urooKiyn, ina.
One of his townspeople went to Jap
and asked him to save 110 for him.
Jap took the money and In less than
an hour everyone in the village knew
It. The next day four or five men ap
peared with small sums of money and
asked Jap to save It for them. Jap
acquiesced, but was soon in possession
of about $120 and It began to worry
him. He took the money from his cash
drawer and hid It under the mattress of
his bed at home. He had no safe. Jap
began to feel a responsibility and re
marked a. number of times about the'
honor bestowed upon him.
I tell ve I appreciated It when ye
made mo mayor of Brooklyn, but when
e elected me banker I got t know
what real responsibility wus," he said.
)ne afternoon one of Jap s banking
customers came in ana asxea ir ne

No," answered Jap.
"It's funny I can't have the money
when it belongs to me." declared the
exasperated customer. I kin loan ye
a couple of dollars uv my own. but ye
kaint have your money, lnsisiea Jap.
Well, what's the difference, my money
or your money. "
I kalnt let ye hev your money be
cause, kalnt ye see. It's after 4 o'clock."
