On both the Portland and Willamette boulevards fires .were started in the dry grass, which fortunately were stopped be fore damage resulted. At St. Johns a bad fire was started in the tract near the brick yard, which required the work of a'dozen or more men to check it and to prevent the burning of several homes. M. Tuftg, chief of the St. Johns volunteer firemen, was out with a force of men for several" hours. The fire was in the slash ings which burned fiercely. People living In nearby cottages moved their furniture, expecting" their homes to be destroyed, but the fire was checked before reaching' tlie houses. About 50 cords of wood in one pile and some other wood scattered about were burned. The fire spread over about ID acres. Marshal Hanks arrested several small boy' this week on charge or starting fires ' in slashings near St. Johns. They explained that they had started fires in the brush with no thought of causing damage, but lhey were ad monished to start no more tires. There are homes all over the Peninsula that would' be in danger In case fire be started in the grass and brush. Draining East Side Low Ground.

"I want you to say for me." said Mayor Lane last night in discussing the arrest of the Imperial Hotel poker-players the day before, "that I. had no hand whatever In their discharge from prosecution, and I Intend to Insist that the Chief of Police go ahead and convict them If he can. Judge Canlcron and City Attorney Mc Nary are the ones that let them go, and they are responsible for the situation." According to the Mayor, anybody who can beat "Doc" Robertson or W. F. Mat lock, Mayor of Pendleton, in a poker game, will have to arise so early in the morning that all the charm of life would be gone, although the 3Iayor insists that ho never played with them," and personal ly knows nothing about the game. Both Judge Cameron and City Attorney McNary refute the Mayor's attempt to thrust the responsibility for the discharge of the prisoners on them, and say that he alone is to blame. Chief Gritzraacher sides with the Mayor, so up to date it appears to be a tie. WHERET0 DINE.

TO EHE THEIR PLANT WILLAMETTE IRON & STEEL WORKS FORGE TO FRONT. Steady Growth of Business Necessi tates Increase of Capital From $125,000 to $300,000. The Wlllamclajron & Steel Works, of this city, have filed -supplementary arti cles of incorporation authorizing an in crease In their capital stock from J 125, TOO to 3)00,000. and coincident!? with this increase arc making extensive Improve ments and additions to their plant, which Is already the largest engineering estab lishment in the State -of Oregon. Fore some time past. It has been ru mored that the rapid growth of this In stitution would shortly necessitate a change of location, and the management has had under consideration a number of available waterfront sites, where there would be ample room for future exten sions. Prior to taking such a radical step, it was thought advisable to bring the present plant up to a higher slate of efficiency, in order to get full benefits from the natural advantages offered by a location ao favorable to general ''repair and manufacturing opportunities. Pursuant with this policy, -the present blacksmith shop, -will be converted into an additional space for machine tools, a much larger and more convenient forging department being built to occupy 00x73 feet on the northwest corner of ,the prop erty. The foundry will be extended" to meet this new blacksmith shop, thus' de voting one continuous space 203 feet long to these departments. The. foundry, equip ment will be greatly improved by the ad dition of a 10-ton all-electric crane, which is now installed at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The present erecting shop will also be greatly enlarged and a num ber of the most modern machine tools will be added to the machine-shop equip ment. These additions will utilize to the best advantage all the available space of the block and will greatly Increase the producing power of the plant. The shipping facilities by rail are un surpassed, the cars of all four trans continental railroads being available by private spur, arid the river-front location of the allied Industry, the Willamette Boiler Works, makes the handling of ma rine work most convenient and econom ical. Ample warehouse and office require ments are provided" by the substantial brick building which occupies the "corner diagonally opposite the works, and In all respects the Willamette Iron & Steel Works may be considered admirably fitted to take care of the Increasing ma chinery requirements .of the country. The policy has been to eliminate a large amount of promiscuous manufac turing and to devote the entire facilities of the plant to the development or a few specialties. The recent progress in offsetting Eastern competition has beep a great encouragement to the hope- that the Increasing importance of the mari time development of Portland will short a fJUST SEE PS ly warrant the installation of a thor oughly modern plant, where steel ship building and other extensive engineering undertakings may be handled In a way which will bring Portland Into prominence as a port which is not only able to pro duce Its own ships, but able to give the same quick dispatch to Important repair work that has been one of the most salient features In accenting the prom inence of some of the other cities on the Pacific CoasL In fact, the drydock which Is equal to any similar dock in the world can only be brought up to any real state of efficiency by being operated In conjunction with the complete equip ment of a modern engineering establish xnenL For those wno are nervous and run down Hood's SarsaparlUa Is the Ideal building-up medicine.
