Superior Judge Albert son thla morning
io oe a vagrant witmn tne meaning or

urged were simply . religious observ
ances, constituted fortune-telling and
that one who gave such raadlnga was
guilty of telling fortunes,, within the
meaning of vagrancy.
Tha decision waa one of great import
ance to spiritualists of Seattle, as It
glvea tha police unlimited authority to
put an and to thetr public and private
readings., which form a large part of
their religious ceremonies. Mrs. Rica
admitted that for her private raadlnga
she had alwaya accepted compensation,
and that It was tha rule for the leaders

i
J. Frank White, a -leading bualness
man Of Wilmington, Delaware, who has
been visiting in Portland, la a convert
to the beauties and possibilities in this
ouy. Mr. White grows aulta enthual-
aatie ever what ha haa seen in tbe Rose
City and declarea that if he was not
tied by bualneaa cares to his eastern
home or was a young man ha Would
surely locate in Portland In preference
to any other place on the PaoiBo eoaat.
and he haa vlalted nearly "every city.
irom oeaicia to ioo Angeles.
"The onlv thins I aea lacklns? In Part.
land." ssld Mr. White, "Is vim. The
people here do not seem to work that
la, work In the eame sense tha people
back east hava ta Everything aeeras to
come so easy. A,;, little more vim, I
think, would be a good thing in thla city
and I thing It Is oomlng. and will come
with- the Influx of eastern people to thta
aeciion. - .
Tou want a little bit more of the
eastsrn spirit. Prom information I have
gathered I learn that the Oslrlt of the
city haa , undergone some wonderful
changes la the past few -years and that
each year sees more' vigor.- I do not
want to be understood to be advocating
a reckless spirit that charaoterlsea some
or tne pacirio eoaat ottiaa, but I do think
a little mora hustle would be a a-oo
thing. Tha peopla here evidently have
bad such an aaay time that they were
getting into a rut; In fact, you can atlll
aee traces or the rut. but with the com.
ing of eaetern peopla that will disap
pear. I think It la a wlae thing that the
financial Intereata of the elty, I mean
tne banks, are in tbe hands of conserva
tive cttBBsns, It la wlee to have tha eq
uation tbua regulated, for under such
conditions It would be a hard matter to
a tart a oanlo or brlna- financial aiaaatar
to a city.
Opportunities aea Manifold.
"The opportunities hero ara so mani
fold that if would, be impossible for
me to tell what in mf Judgment would
bo the best thing to start. There are
avenues open In every line, from big
manufacturing plante to little bualneaa
concerns. There la one thing that haa
frequently atruck line, and that la the
absence of the light lunch counter In 1
Portland, a place where a man can go
and get a sandwich and a glasa ef milk
or some light refreshment, get It with-
wui irvuuii vr ueiay. j. acre are one or -
two places, that attempt to cater thla
way, oui in xnem you navo to wait..
What I mean la a thoroughly up-to-date
light lunch puce, like you find in all
eastern cities. With such a larxs float
Ing" population aa Portland and with the
buslnaae here aa it ie in the center of
the city, such a place I really believe -
would reap a fortune for the man who
started it. . i
. City Za Waklmg -TJv 'v
"The city ia backward In a number of
respects, but you can sea that It la get
ting oat of them. That railway train
running dowa Fourth, atreet through the
heart of the- buslnsss district I would
say is a great detriment to a elty of
this else, and I think the peopla ahould
aoonsa it u tney could.
"There is no elty tbat I hava vlalted
on thla trip that haa back -of It the
great natural wealth of Portland. The
timber Industry has appealed strongly
to me and it alone I ahould aay la auf-
ficlent to make Portland a greater elty .
tnaa any one can now picture. . Tnen
take the grain country and your mining
interests and tbe - varloua other lines.
They form a ohaln that arauea well for
tha arosperitv and future of any city.
