The occaaloa of hla crltl clam waa a dlacuaalon thla morning regarding the future of Portlands Chinatown. Sixteen yeare ago. eaya Said Back, aa many aa 14,000 Chinese were boueed In the buildlnga along Second Street and tkut vicinity. At the present time less than S.TeO find lodgment In tha district known as Portland's Chinatown. Each yean from 100 to r.oo Chinese leave Port land for their old homes across the water, and but few return. Last year 400 left their labors her and return eo home to their families and ancestral hetaea; this year a little leaa than 400 have gone back t China to atay. Present Chinese Population. The Chines population of Portland ' tthpow made up of men who are from 40 to 00 years of age and the only young men to be found are aa a general rule those who have been born In this coun try and who therefore do not have tha same loyal love for the Chinese empire that .la tq be found among the older population of the Chinese districts. 'According to the calculations of Seld Bek It will be not more than four .years before the Portland Chinatown la at thing of the past arid cootie and mer chant vanished. Tha old men are leav ing and will leave in larger numbers as time passes, for. as Seld Back says, "They are too old to work and must go home." At this rata all will be gone In a little over four years. With the coolie muat go tha merchant, generally Speaking, for the departure of their countrymen will take away tha great bulk of their business.

NO QUESTION OF LEGALITY, HE SAYS Declare He Will Call on Mayor and . Make Him Proposition Mayor lane Says That He Favors the Plan. Notice la once more given that pris oners confined In tha city jail will be welcomed at the county rock pile at the Kelly Butte sub-jail at any time the city omclsls are ready to sena them. "We will ha glad to have tha city prisoners at any time." declared Judge Webster this morning. "We need ths men there and are willing to take the city prisoners any time tha city will 1st ua have them. "I am going to call on tha mayor and make Him a proposition to furnish tha city rock at actual coat of production. We will not aupply rock to contractors. Any reasonable proposition In regard to the maintenance of the city prisoners will be acceptable to us. We are will ing to let the city pay ua the actual cost of keeping Its prisoners and give them rock, or we will feed the prisoners and sell the city lta rock at actual cost of getting It out. We want ths men aod will not quibble over minor details la effecting an arrangement with the city. Wa have room for It more men right now. STO Question Of Legality "There la no question la my mind ever the legality of taking elty prison ers to the Kelly butte quarry. Even If the city has no such power now It could "easily be provided by a city ordinance." Mayor Lane declared that he la In fa vor of letting the prlnoaera crush rock. "I understand that Judge Webstar la willing tha city's prisoners ahould be worked at Kelly's butte. and wa will try to make an arrangement with him aa soon as tha city attorney gives an opinion of tha legality of sending the man from ths city jail outside the city limits," he said today. "It Is possible that a question might be raised, snd are would want to be sure of our right to do so before we make any deal with the county authorities." Ten will be about tha average number gf olty prisoners which can be worked at the stone quarry at tha butte. Often tha number of able-bodied man in tha esty jail Is It. and again It falls to half g dozen. City Attorney lfcNary Is now looking Into the legal status of ths case. He will be ready to give an opinion within a short tlms.

The Joaa house will be lom eorae becauae tha worshipers are so few. "It Is tha fault of the Immigration law," said Seld Back whan he talked of tha conditions of hla people. "The fault of the Immigration law, enacted by thla great and Chrlatlan nation. Tha American politician la Ilka the Ameri can dog.- If one dog sees a paaalrtg man ha barks at blm.

I am glad that the Chlneae govern ment would not let Chinamen dig the Panama canal. This free Chrlatlan government has done something no other nation has done. It has built a fence around lta Chrlatlan country and has said to China alone: VBring In your business but keep out yeW people. We want your trade but we don't want you.' I don't think the country la either free or Chrlatlan when It does such things." The Chinese- magnate held up an apple which ha had pared and from which ha had cut moat of the Inside In an effort to extract the core and A worm. 'Thla," he said, "Is like a good many nolltlclana and a good many Christiana. It looked gcod on the outside, but I had to cut out all the heart and moat of the remainder to find the sound part. It waa good on tha outside, but wormy on the inside. It was what tha Amer ican would call tha hypocrite. That Is a reason why Chinatown and tha Chlneae will soon be things of tha past in Portland." TRUSTS DEFENDED BY DR. CHAPMAN Say to Destroy Them Would Be to Kill the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs.

Hs recited the atory of how the Invention of gun powder had placed all men on a level so far as physical strength was con cerned and by so doing hsd vanquished feudalism. Printing, he said, had placed the people on a level with the priest who at one time held sway over the masses. The speaker said that the Ice man had a right to charge whatever price he wished for his product If a man did not think It was a Just one hs could enter the same business and sell al a lower scale. Dr. Chapman uaed thla as an Illustration to pave the way for hla advocation of municipal ownarahip of , all the necessities of lire. He said that the elty should have Its own wood yard.
