WATER TOWER RECOMMENDED Chief Campbell Also Urges Fire Com. xnisslqncrs and Common Council to Provide for a Full-Paid Department. RECOMMENDED BY FIRE CHIEF CAMPBELL. Flrc-boat to protect the water front. Water tower for use In 'fires above third floor or buildings. f Fuel wacon, to be-kept loaded with coal. ChanGC from "part call" to "full paid department Placing of fire hydrants under control of Fire Department. Fire. Chief David Cimpbell made a re port of his recent trip East to the Fire Chiefs' Convention at New York, yes terday to the members of the Common Council and Fire Commissioners. He visited many cities while on the trip and inspected all the modern apparatus that is now in use In the East, and he urgently requests that Portland be equipped with a firebcat at the eirllest possible moment. Chief Campbell's re port In part was as follows: "Gentlemen: In submitting for your consideration a report upon my recent trip to Eastern cities for the purpose of In specting the Are service and attending the 30th annual convention of the International-Association of Fire Engineers, I wish first to return thanks to your hon orable body for the opportunity thus given me to meet person illy, at vthat con vention, men of ripe experience In the flre service from the largest cities In our country, as well as from Europe, and to listen to their discussion of topics per taining to the service, witness the various drills, to examine the wonderful exhibits made by the manufacturers of apparatus and Ire department supplies, to Inspect a number of different flreboats. and to learn of the best methods of operating them, to Inspect the fire departments of several of the largest cities, and to have the means of learning by observation many things which I earnestly hope may all .-serve to better qualify me for the more efficient discharge' of my duties. "At ClevelandU carefully Inspected the flreboats Clevelander and John H. Far ley, the former a wooden hull boat, built in 1S93, and the latter an iron 'hull boat built in 1894. The fire department offi cials were pronounced in favor cf the iron hull boat, it being less frequently out of service for repairs and consequently more economical of maintenance. "At Buffalo the appointments of the electrical department are particularly fine. Fuel wagons, kept loaded with coal, are provided, as In Cleveland, for the sole duty of supplying engines In service at fires. I visited the water department and learned that this department sets all hydrants, which are afterward under full charge and control of the fire depart ment. "I arrived in New York September 12, in the morning. This date being four days in advance of the opening of the chiefs' convention. I spent my time in looking over the fire department under the guidance of Battalion Chief Short, who gave me his personal attention and afforded me every opportunity to inspect the largest fire department in the United States. I acquired a good understanding of the operation of the New York depart ment, noting many "important features which I hope may be of service to us. The firehouses built during the late years are all of brick, and the inside finish of the walls is all of porcelain. The ceil ings are of sheet metal. The horse stalls are of Iron posts with Iron-pipe sides, the stalls all open, making the sanitary conditions good. The stall floors are some of asphalt and some of wood. The apparatus Is practically all rubber-tired, their experience having demonstrated that rubber tires lessen the cost of main tenance of apparatus, aside from ren dering It safer and easier to handle on streets and over car tracks. Steel col lars Instead, of leather are used on horses, being lighter and cooler. The In surance patrol system Is a leading fea ture of this department and affects a great salvage, covering stocks with rub ber tarpaulins, protecting them from water damage. "I had an opportunity of seeing one, of the water-towers of this department at work. Noting, as I did, the effective work done by this piece of apparatus at high elevations, where no other means could possibly be used to such advantage, I was particularly Impressed with our need of a tower. "After a careful consideration of what I have seen and learned, I feel It my duty respectfully to urge upon your honorable body the importance of providing our department with a fireboat for the pro tection bf our extensive water front, and also the additional protection thus af forded to our business districts for sev eral blocks Inland from the river, within reach of a hosellne from the boat, the capacity of such a boat (9000 gallons per minute), exceeding the combined ca pacity of eight of the largest steam fire engines in our department. I wish also to urge the need of a water-tower, which piece of apparatus is Indispensable to the successful handling of certain classes of fires occurring above the third floor of buildings. "I have In the past recommended that a fuel wagon be provided. My observa woud greatly improve the service. A wagon for this purpose, kept loaded with coal, supplied with swinging harness, woud greatly improve the service. A team should be provided for this wagon. This team could be used as a relief team, taking places of horses out on shoeing day,, thus avoiding the present condi tion, whereby each company In the de partment is now out of service half a day each month for that purpose. T cannot refrain from renewing my oft-made recommendation that the Port land Fire Department should be made full-paid", instead of adhering to the part call system. Our city Is the only one on the Pacific. Coast which yet retains a part-call system. San Francisco, Ta coma, Seattle and Spokane all now have full-paid departments. "I would recommend that the question of having the water committee set .all fire.-hydrants, said hydrants afterward to be under charge of the flre department, be presented to the honorable Board of Water Commissioners. This service can be performed more-economically by them than by us at all times, and particularly In cases where hydrants can be set at the time water-mains are being laid."

VICTORIA. B. a Nov. 5. The steamer Shlnano Maru brought news that anti forelgn placards are scattered all over Chengtu, and the Boxer disturbances are now rife throughout that province. 'The report that their female leader, Kwan Ylng, or "Goddess of Mercy," was cap tured In the battle fought outside the walls of Chengtu Is untrue.

Xampa, Idaho, la to hae a new passenger station, to cost about $20,000, of which the front elevation and ground plans are shown above. The Nampa & Owyhee Railroad and the Boise branch of the Oregon Short Line form Junctions there with the main line, so the volume of business handled warrants a station of considerable size and of some architectural beauty. The new station will be of Ronjanesquee type, with the addition of small spires, pointed turrets and projecting roof, to relieve the appearance of weight and solidity given by the arched entrance. The materials of construction will be brick and ste, with tile roof and' galvanized Iron trimmings and dormer roofs. " Castlron, covered with stone, will be used for llntel3. The roads have until November 20 to file their answers. The complaint alleges that the - roads subject the -consumers at the points named and the producers of euch coal who are tiot common carriers or corporations owned and controlled by common carriers to unreasonable prejudice and disadvan tage, in violation of the Interstate com merce act. It charges that the rates are discriminating and prejudicial to the in terests of the dealers and consumers of anthracite coal, as compared with the transportation rates for bituminous coal for much longer distances, and also as compared with the defendants' rates and charges on other "'carload freight traffic generally. It is alleged that the Lehigh, Central of New Jersey. Delaware, Lacka wanna & Western, Erie, New York, Sus quehanna & Western, and the Philadel phia & Reading roads have entered into a pooling agreement. ASKS $50,000 DAMAGES.

Railroad Rates Alleged to Be Too High; Therefore, County Is Asked to Build Wagon Road. A county road from Falrview to the Co lumbia River is wanted by the business men of Portland, so that residents of the Falrview neighborhood can ship goods to this city by river steamers, in competition with the O. R. & N. A petition asking, that the road be constructed was present ed at the meeting of the Board of County Commissioners yesterday by T. Scott Brooke. It Is signed by H- W. Corbett, Charles E. Ladd, C. W. Nottingham. B. M. Lombard, Lang & Co.. Mason, Ehr man & Co., Allen & Lewis, J. C. Alns worth, H. C. Campbell and more than 100 others. Mr. Brooke, In presenting the petition, said that the O. ,R. & N. Co. charged the same freight rate' from Portland to Fair- NAMPA, IDAHO view as from Portland to The Dalles. If I this road asked for were built to the Co- lumbla River, It would give the people j river competition, and a ferry would be placed on the river across to La Camas , and the Washougal country. The people in that section would then come to Port land Instead of dealing In Vancouver. Mr. Brooke said he owned 1200 acres on the line of the road, and would give the coun ty the right of way through it. He fur ther stated that Front street merchants had, vwlthout exception, signed the peti tion, and many others had also signed. Judge Webster How long will the road be? "About a mile afia a quarter," was the answer. "It will be quite expensive, won't it?" "Part of the way," answered Mr. Brooke. The board promised to consider the mat ter. Roadmaster Steele brought up the sub ject of relocation of the Foster road, and the remonstrance to the same filed by Eu gene Jennc and others. The Kelly bridge. which was a long, high bridge, was burned at the time of the recent timber fires. It has been planned, in place of the bridge, to put in two small culverts, and to change the course of the road and build a new road for a distance of three quarters of a -mile on an easier grade. This will also accommodate some addi tional people. Mr. Steele said: "The whole proposition In a nutshell Is just this: Mr. Jenne wants his own way. He has been kicking about this road for 3o years to have It run up a mountain, and succeeded. God Al mighty made the road as it is now laid out, and It is the way It ought to be." Judge Webster The court understands, Mr. Steele, that you have no personal in terest in the matter. Mr. Steele Of course not. Judge Webster conferred with Commis sioners Showers and Barnes, and it was decided that they will all go out soon and view the road as relocated. IN THE PROBATE COURT.

' Judge Webster has expressed an opinion that when a person presents a petition to the County Court signed by the qualified electors of a precinct, asking that the pe titioner be granted a liquor license for a Vear, that the license should be taken out for the following year, and the whole amount. 5400, paid at once. The practice of persons conducting saloons outside of the city limits has been to pay by the quarter. The statute requires a petition to be filed and published before the license can be obtained.

Good fortune sometimes comes after hopeless years of waiting'. So it vras with Mrs. T. M. Taylor, of No. 737 West Walnut street, Springfield, Mo. For years she had suffered with severe stom ach trouble, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured her. as the following interview will show: "I was afflicted with stomach trouble for about ten years," she said to a re porter. "About a year ago it became acute. Just before confinement I was taken suddenly sick, and had flfteea convulsions. I was under the constant care of a physician for months, but did not get more than temporary relief. My stomach felt as if it were full of stones, my kidneys had become affected, and my back hurt dreadfully. Some times I could hardly get arouiyi because of the pain, the least exertion put me out of breath, my head would get dizzy till everything Deemed to swim around me, my limbs ached I was miserable. "How was I cured? By Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I saw an account in a paper of what this remedy had accomplished in a somewhat sim ilar case, and I began taking them. One box caused an improvement, and I kept on taking them, till now I feel better than I have for years. Both my husband and myself never fail to recom mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are ailing." Mrs. Taylor took a medicine that at tacked her trouble at the root the blood and nerves. Poor blood and disordered nerves are at the seat of nearly all the ailments which afflict mankind, and Dr. Williams' Pink P1113 for Pale People have been proven to be a certain rem edy for all diseases arising from this cause.

Women, from their sedentary habits, are often subject to headache and constipa tion. These are quickly removed by Car ter's Little Liver Pills. . IT IS DOUBTFUL If Local Applications Alone Ever Cured a Case of Catarrh. Mst remedies for the treatment of ca tarrh are in the form of sprays. Inhalers, powders, washes or salves, all purely local applications, and many of them often, give temporary relief, but the reason nono of them ever really cure chronic catarrh is because catarrh Is not a local disease, and It cannot be cured simply by treat ing the local symptoms. ' Moreover, the more serioua forms of catarrh, like catarrh of the stomach and catarrh' of the bronchial tubes, cannot be reached at all by local applications, and the fact that neglected catarrh of tho head very soon Involves the bronchial tubes, stomach and liver, demonstrates that the disease is a blood disorder, a constitutional malady, and not at all a local disease. To really cure catarrh the system must be cleansed from catarrhal poison by an internal remedy which acts effectively upon the blood and liver. The success of a new catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Is because It drives out of the system, through natural channels, the catarrhal poison and the mucous lining of the nose, throat and trachea are freed ftom the excessive mu cus which collects and causes the hawk ing, spitting and gagging, because the excessive secretion Is not furnished from healthy blood. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many of the, same valuable antiseptics used In sprays and inhalers, but Instead of being applied to the inflamed membranes of the nose and throat, they are taken into the stomach and thus reach the blood, the real seat and cause of the disease. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, composed of Red Gum, Hydrslln, Blocdroot and similar catarrh specifics, and so safe to- use that little children suffering from colds take them with same beneficial results as adult persons. No trace of cocaine or opiates, so com mon In catarrh medicines, can be found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. 9
