BURGARD HONORED between Sixteenth and Chapman streets and only SO feet wide the rest of the distance. LEDA KAREN, a beautiful young! woman not yet 20 and a recent valuable addition to the Baker Stock Company's staff of actresses, playing the part of Dora Miller In "The Woman in the Case" at the Baker Theater this week, has ha-d a remark ably adventurous career In Mexico. Only last July she escaped from the rigors of a five months' siege In Chihuahua and was one of a party of 250 Ameri- I can refugees who, escorted by 1200 fed eral soldiers, finally succeeded in cross ing the border at El Paso. There were six trains used in con veying the refugees and their soldier escorts to the frontier. They were the first trains to traverse tracks which had but recently been repaired, having been out of commission and in the hands of the rebels for five months previously. There was but one pas senger coach in the entire six trains and that was used by the military offi cers who were especially guarding $2,000,000 In silver bullion which was being brought to the United States for safety. Miss Karen, who was ac companlAl by her mother and Bister, was forced to ride in an open cattle car with a lot of Mexican women, wives and sweethearts of the soldiers. Not the least disagreeable feature of their experiences was the poor quality of the food they had, tortillas a flat cake made of flour and water- and frijoles, which are red beans, boiled and served with a hot chill sauce. They did not have even (co(Tee most of the time. Miss Karen has passed four years in Mexico, going there when she was 15 with her parents. Her father is a prominent mining engineer who has large interests at Santa Eulalia, near Chihuahua. She speaks and sings very readily In Spanish, having attended the Colego Palmore. "There can be no adequate compre hension of the Mexican revolution until it Is understood that the vast mass of the population is agricultural by habit and instinct, and that In its veins the Indian blood predominates," said Miss Karen. "The inclination of these people Is strongly toward the free communistic life to which all Indians are wedded. Indian customs and modes of thought have dominated for centuries the life of the rural districts and the innu merable small towns that dot the map of Mexico. . "For my part I do not believe that. In the long run. the stream of a na tion's life can be forced into channels foreign to it, although the expenditure of enormous sums of money, and the armed force money can hire, may ap pear to be able to do so for a time." Miss Karen was born in Denmark of a Danish mother and a Russian father. She possesses the strong and beautiful traits of these two virile nationalities. Her stage career started early In life when, as a child, she appeared with her mother, who was at one time a well known Danish actress. When she came out of Mexico last July she went to Salt Lake City. Here she attracted the attention of Willard Mack and Marjorie Rambeau. Later she Joined Robert Mantell's company. When the Mantell company reached Portland recently, she accepted an offer from the Baker Stock Company, upon Mr. Mantell's advice and recommendation.

Mr. Ramsdell, - the newly-elected president, elected last year for a short term on the board of governors, and re-nominated this, year, received the highest vote among those elected to the board. His further elevation to the presidency of the club at the meet ing of the board yesterday came as a surprise to him. Mr. Ramsdell has been connected with the firm of Lipman, Wolfe & Co. for the past 35 years. He became as sociated with the company, which was then Lipman & Co., in 1880, having come to Oregon from Vinclennes, Ind. He always has been identified with the official management of the company and is now one of its principal stock holders. "As to my policy for the coming year," he said yesterday, "I find my self hardly in a position to make a de tailed statement, for the election came to me quite as a surprise. I believe, however, that the Commercial Club Is one of the most Important organiza tions In the city and will endeavor to carry forward its work in the broad and progressive way that has charac terized the past. Movements to Go Forward. "The movements which the club is leading for the upbuilding of every community in the state and for the wide advertisement of Oregon and her resources I will endeavor to foster and forward." The movement, which was advocated by President Piper in his report to the annual meeting last Saturday, provia lng that efforts be made to bring all of the commercial organizations of the city, such as the Ad Club, Rotary Club and others, together into closer co-operation with the Commercial Club, has met with the hearty approval of Mr. Ramsdell, who said that he would make every effort to have it carried forward. "I believe that all of the commercial organizations of the city should be housed in the building wmcn tne uom mercial Club occupies, even If there must be some changes In the building, he said. "This would form a center for the activity of the commercial or ganizations and would promote greater co-operation and efficiency in the work of all for the upbuilding ol tne state and city." Mrt Ramsdell will announce his ap pointments of standing committees at the meeting or the Doara or govern ors next Tuesday.

NEW PUMP MORE EFFICIENT Old-Style Fire Apparatus Outdone by Auto-Machine. The comparative efflcency and cost of operation of the new type automo bile fire pumping engines and the old steam fire engines was demonstrated at the recent fire at the Portland Lumber Company plant, a report of which was made public yesterday by Fire Chief DowelL An automobile pumper operated two 1000-foot lines of hose for 14 hours without stopping at a cost of $13.71 for gasoline and lubricating oil. A steam fire engine worked the same length of time on three lines of hose and consumed $27 worth of coal. The auto engine gave much more pressure than did the steam engine. Counting all the fuel and other things necessary at the blaze, the lumber company fire cost the fire department probably $800 CITY MAY CONDEMN LAND New Move Is Made to Complete Mill Street Improvement.
