Commissioner Bigelow Declares
He Has Xo Objection to In
Ktallatlon of Platform.
Plans for the establishment of a
wooden "safety island" on the south
east corner of Broadway and Wash
ington may result In the, revocation
of all for-hlre stand permits and
prohibition of parkins on the east
side of Broadway between Alder and
Washington streets.
City Commissioner Blgelow. in
charge of the fire bureau, has de
dared that should this "island" or
platform be Installed and he has
no objection to Its installation,
there will be danger that fire
trucks will not have sufficient room
to "clear" this thoroughfare unless
parking of all cars is prohibited on
the east side of the street.
At least three for-hlre stands
have, been established on the east
side of Broadway that would be
affected should parking be pro
hibited.
Report In Prepared.
City Commissioner Barbur has
formulated a report, recommending
that Chief of Police Jenkins be
granted a permit to establish the
platform, and that it be so placed
as to allow vehicular traffic to
pass while cars are loading and
unloading passengers.
The first platform of this kind
was established on . the northwest
corner of Broadway and Washing
ton, and it is declared that traffic
congestion has been relieved to a
great extent as a result. This
safety zone was made, through the
erection of two poles to which a
chain was attached.
The second safety zone will be
lightly different as it will be a
woodfii platform. It is the plan of
Captain Lewis, in charge of ithe
traffic bureau, who originated the
idea in Portland, to establish con-
rete platforms if the temporary
platforms prove a success.
Traffic Held Speeded Up.
"I believe that the 'safety plat
forms' will result la speedier moving
of traffic," said Commissioner Bige
low, "but Chief Young of the fire
bureau has informed me that should
a wooden platform be installed on
the southeast corner of Broadway
and Washington there would be. dan
ger that the fire trucks could not
wing through the space alloted for
the vehicular traffic If automobiles
are parked on the street.
"For that reason, if the permit for
the platform is granted, I will prob
ably recommend that no parking of
automobiles be permitted on the
east side of Broadway while the
platform is1 in use."

Workers to Devote Mornings to
Campa i gn to I ncrease Rolls
and Report at Luncheons.
Through the generous co-operation
of 20 leading business houses
of this city, the Portland Chamber
of Commerce has started a, special
effort to increase its membership
roll. These houses have given to
the chamber the services of picked
men in their employ to serve half
a day a week for an indefinite
period in the work of obtaining new
members for the chambec These
men call at the Chamber of Com
merce every Wednesday morning at
9 o'clock for prospect cards and
data, spend the morning in solicita
tion and report the results of their
canvass at a noon luncheon at the
chamber.
Concerning this departure in
membership solicitation, Charles S.
Holbrook, chairman of the com
mittee in charge of the work, eays:
"This campaign is not in the nature
of a drive, to round up a great
number of new members through
sheer enthusiasm, but is an intelli
gent effort of good salesmanship to
Bell the Chamber of Commerce idea
to those citizens of Portland who
are not members and should fiupport
.this parent institution devoted to
the welfare and development of the
city.
"Los Angeles owes its great
prosperity largely to the united
effort of its chamber of commerce.
This is also true of San Francisco,
Portland's great strides in recent
years are due in considerable meas
ure to the work of the Chamber of
Commerce of this city."

City Council to Debate Plan to
Put Further Restrictions on
.Temporary Dwellings.
Complaints against the issuance
of permits for the erection of
shacks and temporary ejwellings in
various parts of the city have be
come so numerous that City Com
missioner Barbur has had two mea
sures drafted which, if adopted, he
believes will satisfy all persons In
terested in this problem.
The city council some time ago
passed an ordinance requiring all
persons proposing- to erect tempor
ary dwellings to apply for permis
sion from the council and to give
the names of all persons owning
property within 200 feet of the pro
posed shacks. A hearing is desig
nated when the property owners
within the 200 feet radius might
protest.
One of the proposed measures that
Commissioner Barbur "Will introduce
to the council will require that
modern plumbing consisting of at
least one lavatory and sink be In
stalled in all temporary dwellings.
In Addition Mr. Barbur will in
troduce a resolution to require that
any person seeking a permit to
erect a shack must file an affi
davit with the coucil setting forth
that there are no deed restrictions
on the property on which the tem
p rary structure is to be erected.
Should the applicant obtain a
permit through a mis-statement of
fact, the resolution provides that
the permit granted will be nullified
and the applicant will be liable to
arrest and conviction for obtaining
a permit under false pretenses.

OX NORTH POLE, TRIP.
Epistles to Be Carried in Plane
From Xome to Northern
Part of Europe.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 30. One
of the most spectacular chapters in
the annals of world-wide postal de
livery may be written when Captain
Ronald Amundsen, famous Nor
wegian explorer, wings his way
across the top of the world in his
proposed attempt to fly an airplane
from the tip of Alaska to northern
most Europe via the north pole.
With him in his monoplane will ride
a mail sack containing fetters writ
ten by Nome residents for delivery
to friends in Europe.
If weather conditions had not
forced a postponement of the flight
until next year, these letters might
have reached their destination a
week ahead of the time required to
make delivery by the established
routes. As it is, arriving perhaps
more than a year later they will
have a priceless historical value to
their recipients, who will doubtless
follow the affairs of their explorer
postman with intensified interest.
According to a report by Post
master Walsh of Nome to local pos
tal officials, the letters were writ
ten when Captain Amundsen was
about to depart from the mining
camp on his way to Wainwright. 100
miles southwest of Point Barrow,
where he will winter, awaiting fa
vorable conditions for his proposed
flight.
