GREAT SPORT IS EXPECTED Entertainment, Which Is One of Sev eral Planned to Bring Business 3Ien Into Close Touch, Win Be ' Open to Their Families. Members of the Portland Commercial Club will play at holding a county fair In the dining room of the club tomor row night, and the preparations for the event are. if possible, even more elab orate than those that preceded the staging of the famous "Hungry Gulch Saloon" some months ago. at which the business men of the city re-enacted the scenes of the frontier days. The county fair Is to be more com prehensive In Its scope than the former entertainment, not only in the number of attractions provided for. but also In the fact that families of the members are to be guests at this entertainment, -while "Hungry Gulch" was purely a "Btag" affair. "Ginger City" Is the name of the fabulous county seat that 1s to be established at the Commercial Club, and there will be held the great "Prosper County Fair." Tried Performers to Take Part. There will be no lack of local color at the ProsDer County Fair. Many of the members of the Commercial Club, who starred in the old Hungry Gulch cast, are coming to Prosper County Fair disguised in appropriate rustic costumes, and It is announced that many who expect to attend the fair are preparing to organize parties of men and women to come in costume to the entertainment. The Prosper County Fair Is one of a series of social events which are being held in different periods In the year, for the purpose of giving more empha sis to the social side of the club's ac tivity and to bring the members and their friends and families into closer touch with one another.. The "Hungry Gulch Saloon" and the. annual picnic In June are the two most important events that have been held heretofore, and the committees In charge of the fair are planning to eclipse both of these. Special features will be Introduced from the Barnes circus and from dif ferent theaters of Portland, and mem bers of the club themselves are ar ranging a series of side shows and other attractions that are expected to make the evening a whirl of merri ment from beginning to end. Parts Are Assigned. George L. Baker is to be Sheriff of Prosper County and. C. F. Berg will be the ringmaster for the circus. V. J.

At present provision Is made for pension for any fireman who becomes permanently disabled while In the service. It is proposed to change the word "becomes" to "has be come." The two men mentioned still are In the service. These are the only two men in this class. The Board of Trus tees, of which Mayor Albee is chairman, tried to grant pensions to the two, but under a ruling of City Attorney La Roche it was found impossible. Whitcomb is suffering from an acute case of rheumatism, contracted while he was in service..- Shane is suffering from tuberculosis, which also was contracted during his time in the service. Both are said to be In great need of 'assist ance. The Board of Trustees yesterday granted relief to Joseph Perkins, a fire man who was injured in & collision, with a car, November 15; A. V. Doiphy, who was hurt by a horse, and Edward Mo Donald, who was sick for a short time. The proposed charter amendment re garding pensions will be drafted by City Attorney LaRocbe and submitted to the City Council to be placed on the ballot. PENITENTIARY LIVING UP HIGH COST OP COMMODITIES PRE VENTS RETURN OP FCG1T1VK. Superintendent Lamoi Saya He Keels Unable to Extradite Vander pool From Canada. That the high cost of living operates In penitentiaries as well as In private homes became evident yesterday, when Superintendent Lawson. of the State Penitentiary at Salem, gave tils reason for not desiring to return Chester Van derpool, an escaped convict, who was sent from Multnomah County for house breaking and who has a sentence of from one to 10 years to serve. Vanderpool was captured at Morse, Saskatchewan, Can., and the chief of police of the town wrote to H. P. Hunt er; Deputy Constable here, asking if Vanderpool was wanted In Oregon. Hunter took it up with Lawson and the latter's reply was that "the finances of the institution are so low, owing to the increased cost of commodities" that he felt unable to go ahead with extradition. Vanderpool created a stir in Portland police circles when he confessed to the holdup and shooting of Joe Charland at the Seven-Mile House last Decem ber. It was proved that he had no con nection with the affair, but he was convicted of breaking into a house at St. Johns and was given an indeter minate sentence of from one to ten years.
