K 110 : ys .i "By a food mahy thousands of dol , Jars and tons or happiness. It's the bast Christmas wo erer had." ... ' John W. Mlnto txsrifed for an open ing in a 11ns of 18 peopls In order that he raicbt pass on to his private office and muse on the situation. "'J-" "Leok at the line there," ha resumed. "Ever see, anything- like it? ' Can you see that old lady flffhtlns- to set to the money order window T No-ehe carries a parse!. She's made a mistake," and Portland's ' affable postmaster rushed forward to tell the aged party where outgoing bores for the folks at home should be deposited. The Joyous sight of an eternity la the main corridor . of the postof f ice building these days, when so few hours remain before somebody commits arson Trouble at the Stamp Window. on the yule log and brandisd plum pudding. An enormous crowd fills the passage and make traffic within al most impossible. Everybody has money this year. Everybody la anxious to get rid of it. - They are Jamming, fighting, rushing or waiting for a chance to get rid of something. - Maybe It's a money order and perhaps a box with contents carefully concealed. But It la some thing, and one rapid glance would con vinced a whole Jury that after Port- landers aet through there will be no citlsen of . this stretch of property we call earth who la without ' a remem brance. - .,.. !;.. . "The throng-, is cosmopolitan." t sug tested the postmaster. Bo It was. There was a little fellow who sells papers here In town for his livelihood and that, of his tiny sister. He wanted to know If the . well-dressed - business The Registry Clerk! Perspire. luck that he , didn't get there soon enough to send a Sift to Pares In good season. There -were a dosen or more women who have passed the half-century mark and six or eight girls of ten der years. - An Italian whose dress sug gested that he hadn't seen a quarter in decade took out a .money order for ((0 and promptly mailed It to Milan. A Chinese laundry man who had the good sense to -have, had his application written several days In advance got one of the ..coveted, blue certificates, which will reach a brother in Spokane. ,ln no; other .year, perhaps, has there been such a remarkable tendency to make . remembrances In caah. The money order business. Is far In advance of that of any Christmas season la the history of the. locaKpeatoff Ice, but the exact surplus will not be known for several days yet. . There have been three days . this week that beat the previous record for money transactions ana ' the poatmaster la hlchlv elated. He attributes ths big business to. the success or the exposition and tar the fact that this year the postofflce Is mora .advantageously located, has bet ter facilities and is therefore getting much of the business which last year went to the express companies. Although the STeat rush has Tneen In the -money department, there are thou sands of visitors daily at the delivery windows. The clamor for packages was at Ita height today and not less than i.oov notices of the recelDt of reen tered letters were sent to residents of this city. Which Is the record for 24 hours. ' . - . . .. It's In the air Portland will have a Merry Christmas. ' ...... - "JI-J M But One a Year.' . man next to him would be so obliging as to write out his application for a money order. - The business man, hur ried though ha was. Instantly complied. It was for 2. . "This goea to the kid In Tacoma nuthln' cheap about mi," urged' the urchin, by way of thanks, i But Jimmy had an eye to business besides his other admirable traits. He had no sooner obtained his money order DODSON IS SECRETARY ;. OF CLAIMS COMMITTEE Senator C. W. Pulton has annolntad W. D. B. Dodson. a well-known young newspaper man of thla city, secretary of the committee on claims In ths sen ate. Mr. Dodson will leave for his new dutlee next Bunday evening or Monday morning, as he expects to reach Wash- In irtnn nw T,mi, -. t .. The new secretary of the committee on claims was strongly recommended by Postmaster J. W. Mlnto. for whom Mr. Dodson was - secretary during the former's term as chief of police of Port land. Since 189T Mr. Dodson has been engaged In general newspaper work in Portland and. different parts of the state, save for a year and a half of that time, .which. was spent as a mem ber of the Second Oregon Volunteers while engaged In-service during the Bpanlsh-Amerlcan war and the Philip pine Insurrection. . s Exposition Skating Rink, r ; The Exposition Rink, at ' Nineteenth and Washington streets, which opened Ita doors under such favorable circum stances on Mondsy night, has dally met wtui more and more ravor at the banda of the Portland public, until now It gives promise of becoming one of the most popular places of amusement In the' city. Hundreds of skaters are dally whirling around the polished floor and a. pretty scene Is presented every-even ing when the floor fills up and the merry throng skate In time to the music of Parsons' orchestra. The ladles seem especially graceful In their skating and add materially to the beauty of the scene. The feature at the rink jest even ing was a ll-lap race between speed skaters. In which Walter- Worrell,, head Instructor and one of the fastest skaters on the coast, came In first and Mr. Hlghtour finished second. The racing furnished excltemant for all and a re turn contest Is being arranged for to night.' : , , . , , . ' ; ; Don't Miss It.
