Remarkable Change In Conditions (be Past Few Weet Jiotod Building activities In Portland and over the state at large will be brisk throughout 1912, a healthy tone being noticeable at this early date, accodr Ing to R. N. Hockenberry, the Port land architect who spent yesterday af ternoon and this moraine in La Grande on business matters. : Mr. Hockenberry is the son of Prof.1 H. J. Hockenberry, for many years superin tendent of school in La' Gande and now In business in Portland. "Just before Christmas there was a 'tight' period and only the larger building activities were kept going," said Mr, Hockenberry today, "but with the opening of a new year building took new life and there is no question In my mind but that 1912 will see un precedented building throughout the state. Portland is rearing skyscrap ers as rapidly as the constructing forc es can be put to work and the same condition, more or less modified, ex ists everywhere that I have been this year. Money is free in Portland now, whereas a few weeks ago, building was seriously retarded because money len ders were bard pressed. The chance for the better has been remarkable in many respects." .;.

"': -'-;;-;: Relative of Local Baker Devises New Ketbod of Fire Alarms. ; Is view of the fact that La Grande is rightnow looking about for an auto matic Ore alarm system, the following from a Portland paper will be of in terest, Battalion Chief Stevens being well known here. He is the son-in-law of C. Lenhart of the Model bakery. Battalion Chief Jay Stevens has in vented a system of assignment, for the apparatus of the Are department In responding to alarms which is super ior to that of any assignment system in use in any Are department In thisi rnnnfrv RnnnrtHner r. avnaiu 'T. u,ao ' adopted by the fire committee of the executive board yesterday afternoon and will be put into service Immedi ately to take the place of the antiquat ed assignment book In use for many years. '' ' '., The new system Is quick, accurate, effective and automatic. There can be no combination of fire alarms which this system will not work out auto matically, It is a card system and whenever an alarm: is sounded the watchmen In a fire company in an in stant can readily see if his company ( is to respond on the first, second, I third, or fourth alarm. It can also I be readily ascertained just what Is j expected of each company. .'. ' , At present when two or more alarms come in at the same time there Is often a. general mix-up, but under the new system there can be no such mis understanding. The system also makes It easier for. the operators in charge of the central Are alarm station. In stead of notifying each company by telephone when one or more compan ies are out of commission for any rea son, which takes several minutes, the operator will tap out the message to the varlouB companies over the tele graph wires, which will go to each company simultaneously and will take but a second. " The late Chief Campbell before his death in the fire of the Union Oil com pany last June instructed Battalion Chief Stevens to prepare the system after It had been explained to him and ho has been working on It ever since. o FOB RENT Business house corner, ' Fir and Adams.
