Mr.. John Cousins Chos-
en- Chairman.
Plans For Erection of New
Aims House.

The last Of those much talked of
monthly fessts has been served to the
members of the board of overseers OF
the poor. One was held last evening at
the regular monthly meeting of the board
but 1t was unanimously voted that for the
remainder OF the municipal year these
suppers shoald be discontinued. AspuDlio
sentiment has bean prstsy vigorously
expressed In regard to this subject, 1t ia
hardly likely that the suppers Will he
given right away. "Ths matter Is now
endsd,'' said one OF the members of the
board after tire meeting had adjourned
last evening. "Fcr this year at least no
mere will be given and 1 don t believe
that they will ever ts given again"
The monthly committee which for the
present month is composed OF Msssrs.
Ross and Dssgett had charge of the ar
Iangements for the final supper. The
fsast was similar to the others which
have been held. All of the members Of
the board were In attendance but four Of
them, Messrs. Goudy. Pierce. GOwen
nj Libby declined to accept the Invita-
tion to sit around the bountifully laden ed
tables. so while the supper was IN pro-
Gress thess -four faithfuls," as they
are termed by their associates, occupied
the time inspecting the almshouse and
Grsslsy hospital. The supper over, the
board formally convened and at cnce
MIR. Goudy brought up the timely sui
jeOt. He stated in a few we'll chosen
words that the time had at last arrived
when the oitisens of Portland had, al
most to q nam expressed themselves Of
the opinion that 1t was hardly consistent
with the order of things that tbs SO
monthly fessts should be held In the
midst OF the unfoTtunatss Of ths city. He
therefore moved that for the remainder
OF the municipal year thefe suppers
should bs discontinued. CAPTAIN York
seconded the motion whiC b was unsni-
mously oarrled,

the difference the Katy sold its mileage
at Q ID cents and would take up the short
| line mileage; that is. the Frisco has the
shorter line TO ST. Louis and the Katy
by accepting the mileage of the Frisco
| for the long haul by its line, gave the
passenger the same rate as would be OBJ
| tanned by the Paris route With 2-cent
mileage. The Texas and Pacific was get
