SHORT WEIGHTS TO BE EXPOSED 0 TWO ROAD SUITS 11-111 M.. - Ntv CHARTERS PEPUTY SEALER APPOINTED TO CHECK OVER SCALES AND CORRECT THEM MERCHANTS MOUNT OF FAULT Many Do Not Know Condition of the Balance Upon Which They Measure Out Good to Their Cutomere. In accordance with the promise that bad been made to the Live Wire and other organlxatlons of the city, the county court Tuesday appointed Wil liam Grlsenthwalte of Heaver Creek, deputy sealer of weights and meas ures. The action of the court mas taken upon the recommendation of the Live Wires and the authority given to the court by the new state law. The statute allows the county court to ap point a deputy sealer for the county and to give him such pay as may bo proper In the judgment of the county officials. The appointment does not take ef fect until after the first of the year. Some complaint has been received from various parts of th county that dealers were not giving the correct weight or measure in their transac tions with their customers. In order to show the merchant Just where his scales are at fault or his measures short, the dealer will be furnished with a standard set and will check up each store that he visits. Those who have favored the appointment of such a deputy have believed that many of the merchants who have been com plained of by their customers have not really known that their scales were not true nor that their measures were short. In order to show them where they have been wrong, the sealer will com pare the scales with the standards that he receives from the state de partment and will make such correc tions as may be needed to bring tbem np to what they should be. In case he finds that such a course Is Impos sible, he will have the authority to condemn the weights or measures un til such time as they are properly cor rected or new ones are bought.

COMPANY TAKES LAST MINUTE TELEPHONE LINE ALMOST LOSES FRANCHISE TO OPERATE ON GLADSTONE STREETS STRINGENT CLAUSES OF ORDINANCE Provisions Protect All Interests Taxpayers, But Give the Con cern Good Chance to Conduct Business of On the last hour of the last day, the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone com pany accepted the franchise passed by the city council of Gladstone some time ago. Shortly after the council passed the two ordinances, the Home Telephone company accepted its provisions with out argument or quibbling. The 1' clfic company, however, has taken the last minute that the council gave It in which to tile Its acceptance of the provisions of the ordinance.

The franchises have been pending before the city council of Gladstone for sometime and were passed at a recent session. The companies wer given 30 days in which 10 file their ac ceptance of the provisions. The last hour was 5 o'clock Friday afternoon and the acceptance was filed with the city recorder, John N. Seivers, at 4:30 o'clock.

E BUSY IN GLADSTONE Because the franchise had to go to the headquarters If the company lu San Frcnclsco. Manager Hall says the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com pany delayed its acceptance of the Uladstone ordinance. He claims that the company would have accepted the ordinance sooner but the matter had to be submitted to the headquarters of the concern and was several days on the road.

Conway told me, when I dressed bis wound, that he was hurt when lowering a sash at his home about 11 o'clock Thursday night. I can tell by the nature of the wound that It was not caused by a bullet, but probably by the ragged edge of glass." This statement was made by Dr. W. E. Hempstead Saturday afternoon. "He told me that just before mid night he arose to put down a window in his room, but, in the dark, be be came confused and the window drop ped. In an effort to catch the sash, be thrust bis hand through the glass which resulted In the injury," be said. "He took tbe 9:30 o'clock train tbe following morning and came to this city to secure medical aid. "I could tell by tbe way the flesh was cut that the cause of the accident was either a dull knife or glass." The statement was made that Father Conway was shot early Friday morning by a robber and that he walk ed tbe five miles to Oregon City to securer aid. Explorer Stefansson has lost hi ship, Karluk; lucky for him, maybe. DRY FORCES ARE NOTIFIED APPPEAL MADE TO VOID DECISION - 0I1AT0 janitor at once located the cause the trouble.. No damage whatever was done, Had not the. tire been found lu time. It Is possible that the entire building might have been de stroyed even if all of the children managed to get away front the burn ing structure In time. The jnultor al- Iriyed the fear of the children and the members of the faculty by an nouncing thitt he had extinguished the fire and that It might have meant the loss of the school had It not born dis covered promptly. This Is the third fire within the past 58 hours. Fire Rages Fiercely In Building of George A. Harding One building destroyed, others mors or le Injured, a total loss of $7000 on fixtures, stock aud property Is tho story of the fire that gutted the busl ness block of Geotge A. Harding on Main street at 13 o'clock Sunday morning. n a mysterious way, fire broke out In tb rear of the Chicago Clothing store at 13 o'clock Sunday morning- It had evidently been burning there for sometime. Suddenly and without warning .the flames burst through tho front glass doors of the building and smoke poured from the roof and upper windows. In a tew minutes, the whole building where the sture had been was in flames and the tongues of tiro were leadlnlg and playing about over the neighboring structures In such way as to cause the firemen to become alarmed for the safety of the others. Department Is Ready. Within a few minutes after the alarm was finally turned In, the de partment of the city was on the field and In action. The, boys went to work with lots of vim and several lines of hose were playing upon the strategic points of attack in a few moment The chemical company did valiant work. Forcing Its way In the teeth of the flames and fighting for air spar, finally got its line Into the Inner sections of the building where the stream played for awhile on the burning timbers. Tbe two lines of hose In the rear and the one In front fought together against the blaze. For a time, it seemed as though the fire was uncon querable aud that It would sweep over tbe other buildings and take all of them Within Its path. The furniture nd fixtures of the cigar store of Iiou Hilton, the Imperial Barber shop, and the Kentucky liquor store were sud enly moved out Into the street al though the fire, smoke aud water did some damage to the property. Sheds Burn. The sheds In the rear of the clothing store and the second hand store of George H. Young were burned. In or er to get at the flames that burned 1th diabolical energy in the roof and that defied the efforts of the firemen, line was stretched to the front of the building and tbe whole top pulled down, exposing the rafters and upper timbers. As the firemen below pulled on the line, two other were on tbe ad joining roof of the neighboring build Ing and packed off In time to escape the danger zone. Through the entire length of the clothing store, the flames licked up the Immflamable material that fed it In spite of the streams of hose that shot water into the building at a ter rific pressure. During the fight, the firemen directed the stream part of the time on the adjoining buildings and none of them were materially damaged. The occupants of the office building left In fear that It would catch but the Intense heat managed only to burn the outside wood work without getting Into the building Itself. Boys Answer Celt. The fire department answered the alarm and was on the job within flvo minutes after the, bells began to ring. J. J. Tobln of tha Electric hotel and Night Officer I.e French turned In the call from dlfMrent points at about the same time. The hotel man sent his through the tolephone office while the officer tried the new fire alarm system and found that It did not work, at first. He had to give the box sev eral twists before It finally sent in the call for help. , ; McGensky & Haden were the own ers of the stock in the clothing house while George A. Harding owned all of the buildings thai! were Injured. The probable loss on the buildings Is S2000, with little insurance. The owners ot the stock refused Sunday morning to make an estimate of the loss but out siders figured It around $5000. GIRL DIES AT HOME r Gladstone, Ore., Dec. 18.
