Council Committee Will In
vestigate Sale of Liquor
on Sunday:
Leading Portland hotel, will b.
called to account by th. liquor license
committee unless they discontinue th.
practice of ..rvjng intoxicating liquors
on Sunday. Thl. decision wa. reached
by the committee after hearing a re
port from Captain Bruin as to the
methods adopted by th. hotel, and to
serve drinks. . , .
Captain Bruin .tated he had received
Information that the hotel, had adopt
ed a check system whereby a patron
could enter the dining room on Bun
dify, date a check a day earlier and
order liquors to be erved Bunday, the
amount of liquors to b. served to be
left blank until thf diner is ready to
leave th. dining room.
In the opinion of th. committeemen,
this made both parties a criminal In
the transaction, as both the diner and
the hotel man wer. clearly trying to
evade the law.
Councilman Wills quoted th. state
law to th. effect that no place where
liquor Is sold .hall be open, on Sun
day. He then inquired why a hotel
man should not be required to refrain
from selling liquors to any man other
than a bona fide guest residing in th.
house. The question was argued by
all the members and the general opin
ion was that th. hotel men should be
called before the committee to explain
their method of selling liquor on Bun-day.-
If lt.xan be proved that the
proprietor, have been entering Into
contract, with their patron, to evade
th. law, th. member, favor th. revo
cation of their licenses.
The task of securing evidence to thl.
effect Is difficult, because of th. re
luctance of any of th. diners to ad
mit having been a party to th. crim
inal proceedlnga Captain Bruin stated
this morning that h. had such evidence
against the Louvre, and that he had
heard mat tne same memoas wer.
being used -at other hotels.
The committee win take up tne mat
ter at a future meeting and dispose
of it In the regular order of busi
ness. PORTLAND III TO

Commercial Clubs of Two
Cities Arranging for
Excursion.
One of the most notable excursion.
of the year will be arranged Jointly
by the Lewlston Commercial club, the
Portland Commercial club and the O.
R. & N. company, for an exchange of
social sentiment, between the business
men of Portland and Lewiston. An ex
cursion wll be run from Portland to
Lewlston .over the newly completed
Snake river line of the O. R. & N. com
pany., when the fruit blossoms are full
blown. It will be called a "Blossom
Carnival.' ;
It is estimated that at least 200 Port
land men will join in the trip. R. C.
Kohbacker,' a Lewiston newspaper man,
was in Portland today to confer - with
William McMurray, general passenger
agent of the O. K. & N. company, and
Tom Richardson, of the Portland Com- i
merclal club.
It is desired that the train be run
on the date to be fixed, regardless of
the possible completion of the Lewiston
bridge, and if the bridge is uncompleted
the crowd will be ferried across ' the
Clearwater at Lewiston, from th. pres
ent terminus of the line to that elty.
Portland business men have for a
long Urn, desired to take such a trip
to see the Lewiston country, and this
excursion will probably be one of the
most popular of the various trip, taken
by rail and boat in the last two years,
under the auspice, of the Portland Com
mercial club. , .

COOS BAY PEOPLE
FAVOR FIESTA PLANS
Delegation Corrects Erron
eous Statement' Made Re
: garding Their Position.
An error In a report from the Rose
Festival management published In a
morning paper ha. caused some alarm
among th. Coo. bay delegation ttutf
visited th. city yesterday. Th. dele
gation fear. th. positive statement ac
credited to them may implicate them
as a guarantee to furnish a float from
that part of th. country where no au
thoritative action ha. -in fact been
taken. '
Peter Loggle and F. H. Brlgham of
North Bend, and Walter Lyons, the
secretary of the Commercial club at
Mashfleld, formed the delegation from
Coos bay which came up Saturday to
meet the government ' engineer. While
her. they visited Mr. Hutchln. of tho
Rose Festival committee and wer. moat
enthusiastic over the plans.
"It 1. a great thing," one of them
.aid, "and should b. supported by every
one In th. state, and w. are heartily
in-sympathy with if and with all their
plana. When Mr. Hutchln. suggested
w. be represented in th. general and
floral parades we were enthusiastic and
agreed to bring the matter before our.
feople, but of course we had no au
hority to guarantee such a float a.
he mentions and so we made no prom
ises further than that w. would pre
sent the matter.
"W want it understood that we hav.
made no guarantee and w. are unwilling
to antagonise our people by having them
think we hav. acted without authority,
but .till we are heartily in favor of
the plan and will do wnat we can per
onally to glv. It .upport'; )

Jame. G.- Woodworth, traffic manager
of th. Northern Paclflo railway, wh
cam. to Portland today td confer with
traffic official, of th. Northern Paclflo
and the Portland A Seattle, road, be
lieves that th. revival of the extraor
dinary' freight traffic movement that
for two or three year. ha. rushed trans
continental road, will return with, th.
recovery oC. financial credits and conn-
dence. lie was ot the opinion that It
will be 'a slow process.
"There is no trouoie about ordinary
volum. of freight-business. .That is
easy. But or the last two or three
years our line. hav. been handllnm an
extraordinary volume of freight busi
ness. The return of th. phenomenal
business to the railroads la simply a
question of returning credit, and gen
eral confidence. A. to the present con
dition of merchandise stocks in th.
west. . I am not clearly advised. Th.
statements w. receive are conflicting."
H. M. Adams, traffic manager of th.
north bank line, expect, to see a gen
eral revival of -heavy freight bustnesa
about March 1. He Mid:. .
"1 hav. not mad. extensive inquiry

An excellent musical program wag

church yesterday morning when tha
"Messiah" wa. repeated a. given at
Christmas tlma. Th. church waa
packed to standing room and the crowd
filled the hall and stairs and many went
away because they were unable to get
in. -
- Th. oratorio - waa- .xoeptlonallyweU
sung under the leadership of W. H.
Boyer, the director of the choir. Ex-
Lcerpts were selected to preserve se
quence ana to give tn. nest-Known pari,
of th. famous oratorio. Th. soloist,
were: Mrs. H. 8. Miller, soprano: Miss
Evelyn Hurley, contralto; E. C Davis,
tenor, and Charles Cutter, basso, and
all wwe in good voice. Mrs. Warren
E. Thomas waa at the organ, and a
choir of 41 voices and an orchestra of
15 pieces gave-solidity and volume to
the performance. Just preceding the
closing anthem Dr. Benjamin Young
gave la .hort' address, outlining th. his
tory of the writing of the "Messiah'
and speaking of the author. 'Handel's,
true reeling and recognition of tha
spiritual subject.
In the evening several special must'"
cal numbers wer. given and Mrs. Rob.
Blocb Bauer sang "when Thou Comest,"
the famous "Inflammatus" aria andl
chorus from Roosint'. "Stabs t Mater.
Miss Cornelia Barker gave -as a violin
solo the Schubert "Ave Maria" and tha
chorus sang "By Babylon'. Wave'
(Gounod).
Dr. Young preached on "The Hand
and the Loaf' taking hi. text front
the miracle of the loaves and the fishes
which fed the multitude" He called at
tentlon to the apparent economy by
which the Lord took the food already
at ..hand and produced more. Instead of
ignoring and creating anew. This ml.
he applied to man's daily life and saldi
that be should make the best of what
he ha. at hand - and - only in his ex
tremity call upon Ood to Increase it.
The little should -never be ignored. Tha
potter, form, beautiful - designs from
crude clay, the sculptor breathes Ufa
into cold marbje and the painter make,
the dead canvas glow - with beauty
through dirty paint;-- so- .should man
bring hi. little material to Christ snd
have it transformed to A beautiful life.
