RAIDERS CHRISTMAS OPENING.
Big Store Filled Until Late Hour De.
spite Absence of Electric Light.

Despite the muddy streets and alb
sence of electric lights last evening,
RAIDERS Christmas opening was a de-
cided success. Johnson's orchestra
of six pieces rendered a delightful
program from 1880 until after 10
o'clock and many stayed until the
harmonious strains of America" died
away.
The crowd was much larger than
anticipated, considering the fact that
there were SO many other attractions
and the electric lights out, but the big
store was we'll lighted with gasoline
and kerosene lamps and candles so
that Mr.. RAIDERS enormous stock of
furniture and carpets was displayed
to good advantage and many were
the remarks of admiration and sur
prise at the immense stock carried in
a town of this size.
AS souvenirs, Mr.. RAIDER gave each
of his visitors a neat card wishing
them merry Christmas and happy
New Year, but the card has a none
tary value beyond that for It entities

In the public schools of the city
contributions were received yesterday
for the benefit of the Boys' & Girls
Aid society of Portland, and the
things donated have been assembled
today in one of the rooms In the AS
sociation building. They are being
cared for there by H. e. Collier, sec
retary of the local advisory board Tor
the society, who will ship the mer-
chandise to Portland this afternoon.
At each of the schools yesterday DO
nations were in order and the chll-
dren were allowed to bring money,
provisions or other suitable articles.
a total of S20.60 was collected IN
money from the five buildings of the
city and the East End school headed
the list with a contribution OF 1895.
The West End school came next on
the list with $4.67, while the high
school gave s2.05, the Field school
s2.s1, and the North Side school
$1.76.
Aside from the money offerings
many Jars of fruit were also given,
| while several bushels Of potatoes and
apples were donated. Many children
brought small paper sacks filled with
apples, oranges and other fruits, and
this morning the room in the asso-
citation building was covered with the
juvenile offerings. One small boy
or girl, had contributed a little squash
while packages of breakfast FOODS
had been brought by others.
The contributions were asked of the
school children In obedience to re-
quest that was made the teachers
during the recent teachers conven-
ton held here. In other parts Of the
county contributions were also taken
up but in most instances the money
and provisions were sent direct to
Portland. However, one contribu-
ton, 50 from the school at Umatilla
has been forwarded to Mr.. Collier.

The main building for the o. r. G.
Ms new coal bunkers at Bingham
Springs is now complete and will be
painted as soon as the weather will
permit. The incline leading into the
bunkers is not yet built, but the force
of carpenters will begin on this soon.
The bunkers are built upon a new
plan and have bany Improvements
which are not now in use on any part
of the system. The building will be
supplied with automatic chutes,
which may be closed by the engine
man when sufficient coal has been
dumped into the tender, With the
chutes now in use, each chute must
be emptied when opened, this maxi
necessary.
The new bunkers will have a ca
pacity of 100 tons at time-five 20
automatic chutes. There will also be
a chute holding about 80 yards of
sand, a feature not now included in
any of the present coal bunkers on
the system.
1t is estimated by the building de-
partment that it will require at least
two months to make the bunkers
ready for use. Track connections
must be made with the bunkers, the
incline must be built and the chutes
installed in the building.
Instead of having a yard engine
place coad in the bunkers as is done
in this city, the o. r. & n. will re-
quire this to be done by road engines
when coal is set out at the bunkers.
A force of coal beavers will be placed
at Bingham and the main line coal
supply will be taken entirely away
from this city for the sake of con-
venience to the company and to make
room in the yards here for a new
passenger depot.
