AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
To ERECT FINE OFFICE BUILDING

In accordance with plans made sew
eral months ago, the American Ex-
press company, through it's local man.
ager, b. Parlett, announced this
morning. that construction work on
their new $500 office building will
start in a few days.
The building will be constructed of
concrete, will be located about 100
feet west of the new O.-W. r. & N.
depot and its style of architecture will
harmonize with that of the depot
building.
All the plans We're completed some
time ago, the stakes have been set
for several days and Mr.. Parlett re-
ceved a message this morning direct
ing him to award the contract to
Gibson & Cole of this city, that firm
having been the lowest bidder.
In addition to being artistic and In
harmony with the new depot, the new
building will be modern in every re-
spect. 1t will be 30X45 feet and VIII
contain an office, freight room, check
room and bedroom for messengers.
Mr.. Parlett also announced this
morning that the American Express
company would have an up town Of
flee, the exact location for which has
not yet been decided upon. This will
be SO arranged that in addition to
housing the local agent and his force
of employees, office room will also be

supplied the route agent whose head
quarters are now in this city.
This division of the American
company was recently split so as to
make Pendleton the headquarters for
the route agent and Portland the
headquarters for the superintendent
O. f. Bongwell is the route agent and
he is now here with his family to
take up his residence.
In speaking of the Improvements
this morning. Mr.. Parlett said it was
the purpose of the American Express
company to establish such an office
and such service as the city has never
before enjoyed.
Parlett characterized as unquall-
fiedly false the statements which
were published some time ago in an
alleged newspaper to the effect that
his company had decided to erect a
$500 building. He declared that the
American Express company has new
er contemplated the erection of any
other than the building upon which
they are about to start work. He
says this would now be in use but for
the difficulty which was encountered
in finding a suitable location.
The improvements announced will
be appreciated by employees and pat
rons as well as by the officials of the
company, for their present accommo-
dations are entirely inadequate.

PORTUGUAL L u
HOLD AN ELECTION

Lisbon, March 22.-An official
proclamation was issued today calling
for a national election of members
of a constituent assembly on April
80 next. Since the revolution which
overturned the monarchy and sent
King Manuel into exile, Portugal has
had only a provisional government.
Public confidence in the future of the
republic is now apparently greater
than ever, owing to the general and
rapidly increasing prosperity which
has marked the new regime. Wages
Of workmen have nearly doubled in
the last few months and farmers and
tradespeople share in the benefits
Malcontents are permitted to public
ly advocate the restoration of the
monarchy but they gain few adher-
ents among the rank and file of the
people.
1t is practically certain that the ad-
ministration candidates for the ma
tional assembly will be elected by an
overwhelming majority except pos
sible in some OF the remote country
districts, where the influence of the
clergy remains supreme. The plat
form of the government inciuNes
planks favoring compulsory univer-
sal education in free state schools, to
be modelled after the system n
vogue in the United States; univer-
sal suffrage for all adults, regardless
of color, sex or property qualifica-
tions; economy and Strict supervi-
sion in the expenditure of public
funds; complete independence of the
judiciary, and the absolute and final
separation of the church and state.
The provisional government has al
ready accomplished much toward the
realization of this program. In all the
cities and towns free schools have
been established and thousands OF
twenty-one are attending school for
the first time. The compulsory edu-
cation clause will hardly be necessary
as practically every youngster in Por-
tugal is fired with a holy zeal to OBJ
tain an education, and the illiteracy
which obtained under the monarchy
is already in a fair way to be a thing
of the past. Although the provision
( al government is composed of mel
who are pronounced anti-clericals anC
agnostics, it is generally admitted tha'
the church has been treated farr,!
and with every consideration. tn
former King Manuel, too, has beer
dealt with magnanimously and ha:
| been awarded all of his persona
property. The only serious difference
of opinion among the government Of
ficials is on the question of universe
suffrage, some of the ministers ac
vocating the imposition of the test o
| literacy.

MEXICAN CRISIS WAS

Was Intended to be Unfriendly
Toward Japan-Uncle Sam Took
His Cue Says Friend of William.

Washington, d. c., March 22.-To
bassador that the present relations
between the United States and Japan
are satisfactory, Taft invited Baron
Uchida to call at the White House this
afternoon. He wished to inform the
ambassador there were no grounds
for the belief that the present military
maneuvers were unfriendly to Japan,
but that the mobilization was ordered
Oh account of the apparent danger of
a crisis in Mexican internal affairs.
After Tafts conference with Uchida
today the cabinet was in session three
hours discussing the Mexican situ-
alton and the talk Taft had with the
Japanese diplomat. Later, the presi-
dent and Robert Bacon, ambassador
to France, discussed an arbitration
agreement on a proposition along the
same lines as that which is now be-
ing submitted between the United
states and Great Britain.

OF Taft's said: ut was Uncle Sans
cue to take off his coat, allowing his

gentlemen for whom this stage was
set fully appreciated it too. That act
was for this purpose and the United
