MR. PLUMBER MAY GET JOB Hl Appointment Forecasted "Under CItU Service Provision Allowing Temporary Incumbency Cntil Selection. Can ' Be Made. Mayor Simon may appoint H. E. Plumber Building Inspector under the provision of the civil service whereby a person may be temporarily named to a position, pending the certification of a list of ellglbles. Mr. Plumber has been connected with the Inspector's ofiice under the administration of Guy E. Dobson. present incumbent, and Is highly recommended for the place. There was a civil service examina , tion for the position of Building In spector last Friday and Saturday, and when the papers were opened yester day at a special meeting of the com mission, it developed that the lone ap plicant had failed. This left the situ ation as before without an eligible and a vacancy to be filled. The building industry of Portland is one of the city's greatest forms of busi ness, and the office of inspector has become within recent years one of the highest in importance. The position carries a salary of 175 a month, which Is said by leading architects and build ers of the city to be entirely too small. Major J. P. Kennedy, secretary of the commission, called attention yester day afternoon to the scarcity of com petent labor for the positions of in spectors of streets, sidewalks and sew ', ers. instrument men in the Engineer's department, and in" other lines. This brought forth from Commissioner Arm strong the question as to whether the examinations are too rigid, and the reply from Secretary Kennedy that they are none too severe for the work to be supervised by them. Commissioner Armstrong brought up the question of allowing O. H. Ohloff to take examination for street and sidewalk inspector, sayng that Mr. OhlofC who was discharged by the Lane administration for unsatisfac tory work, was perhaps acting under orders from a superior at the time he is said to have passed favorably upon poor street work, and may have thought he was doing only his duty as a subordinate when he was told to put in a favorable report. Ohloff was accused by the Lane ad -ministration of passing streets and sidewalks that later proved to be im properly constructed, and was dis charged. The Civil Service Commis sion heard his appeal and upheld the action of the Executive Board at that time. However, he may now re-enter the service if he chooses to take an other examination and resume his em ployment, provided he passes and is certified. Secretary Kennedy reported the case of an applicant for the position of dep uty plumbing inspector, whoso papers a board of master plumbers declined to pass upon because they thought he could not become eligible on account of holding an interest in some shop. In his blank he said that he received "$B a day and a percentage of the profits." The charter prohibits one from being inspector or deputy and holding an in terest in a shop. It was decided that he may have his papers marked, and if he passes, must relinquish his In terest in the shop, if he is named as a deputy. MANAGERS AGAIN CHOSEN Old People's Home Society .Holds Annual MeetingElecls Officers. At the annual meeting of the Old People's Home Society yesterday morn ing in the parlors of the First Presby terian Church, the board of managers, consisting of Mrs. D. P. Thompson, Mrs. H. W. Corbett, Mrs. Eckenberger. Mrs. Robert Livingston and Mrs. 3. T. Hamil ton, was re-elected for three years. The following officers were named: Mrs. P. J. Mann7 president; Miss Edith Nicholson, vice-president; Mrs. James G. Gauld. treasurer; Mrs. Hannah Rob ertson, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Martin Winch, secretary; Mrs. S. P.

The board of managers was authorized to contract for curb lights on First and. Second streets, in front of the Reed home stead, owned by the Old People's Home. Mrs. P. J. Mann, president' of the so ciety, in her annual report said that the new home building at Sandy Road and Bast. Thirty-fourth street will be com pleted probably by February 1. 1911. Frederick W. Strong, agent of the so ciety, reported that the six lots on Haw thorne avenue, donated to the society by the late Henry W. Corbett, had been sold, netting about $12,000. TO CURB A COLD IX OXE DAT.

DETOURS STILL IN VOGUE Temporary Arrangement Doe to Last All Week Northern Pacific Complete Schedule Restored. Other Lines Clear. Portland, this morning, is the only city on the Pacific Coast, north of Los Angeles," which is receiving all malls direct from the East. Trains have been more or less delayed by the con gestion of traffic, but succeeded In get ting through within reasonable time. San Francisco mailcars. which are usually routed over the Union Pacific through Ogden. continue to come by way of Portland, and there is no defi nite Information obtainable as to when the Overland Route will be able to comply with its contract to deliver through mail to San Francisco. Seattle Is reported to be able to re ceive and dispatch a .portion of its mails over the Northern Pacific, but ail letters for Butte and the district situated south, of the great mining camp are routed through Portland. At the Portland postoffice all traces of th congestion which heaped pouches and sacks' on the floors of the mailing room have disappeared and the office is up to date with its work. The' arrangement by which San Fran cisco mailcars for Ogderi pass around the angle,- with Portland at the point, provides a vacation for the railway mallclerks aboard the cars. On the long trip they are not required to handle a large amount of local business, and have an opportunity to sit in the open doors and watch the scenery. - Passenger train travel over the Har rlman system was still heavy yesterday, six detoured Southern Pacific trains ar riving from the south and a similar number 'from the east. It is expected that, beginning today, the traffic will be lighter, as the trains that started over the Salt Lake division and had to turn 'back are now out of the way. The detoured train movement, which will likely last all week, will, begin ning today, consist of two trains from San Francisco dally and four trains from the East daily. The west-bound movement will be the heaviest on ac count of the colonist travel. The O. R. & N. line was clear to Huntington all day yesterday, although Sunday night delays were caused by a slide near Bonneville. The main line of the C R. & N. to Spokane is now open via Snake River and Colfax, and trains passed over the route yesterday. While the Pleasant Valley branch of the Washington di vision is open it will not be ready for traffic for a day Or two. The Pomeroy branch will -not- be open for several days. The Northern Pacific restored its complete "schedule with the reopening of the Butte- route yesterday. For a few days all trains went via Helena Reports from various points on the line indicate that all storm troubles are over. . : Telegrams to the local Canadian Pa cific offices are that the slide trouble near Glacier has been overcome. Trains left Seattle yesterday on schedule. VERN ROBERTS BOUND OVER Fred T.' Merrill Arrested on Com . plaint of Mrs. Baldwin. Vern Roberts1, son of a grocer at Twenty-third .and Washington streets, who has been in the County Jail for the past several days, following a sensa tional joy ride lasting from Saturday night to Thursday, charged with the theft of the automobile he used, was heard by Justice Olson yesterday after noon and was held to await the action of the grand jury. His bail was fixed at tSOO cash or $1000 -bonds. Roberts endeavored to show that Pre cemeder & Tuerck, owners- of the ma chine, had given him carte blanche in the use of the machine and that he had not exceeded his authority by taking a party of hie friends out for a spree. This im pression was entirely eradicated, how ever, by the testimony of Mr. Tuerck, who insisted that Roberts had not re ceived permission to use the machine out side the city. Fred T. Merrill was arrested and ar raigned before Justice Olson, waiving ex amination. He was arrested on a cojn plaint signed by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin and was held to await the action of the grand Jury upon the charge of having permitted a female under the age of 21 to be In ' a place where liquor was sold. .
