Though denying they are. deadlock' ed the council took Its proverbial stand on the fire truck question last tight nheu the 'teeniy 'sieenth ballot during the past three or four mouths was taken on the all-absorbing prob lem. The old time four, three and one Tote resulted this is the way the la sue has been standing: all alone. The P American-La France- got' four Totes, the Seagrave three and the Webb one, Mayor Church urged the councllmen to come to some decision but adjourn ment was taken before another vote was asked for,; . The council meets next Wednesday night to. transact lm portant matters among . others : the adoption of bids for - the new' : pav ing, and It Is likely that the council win' take another vote on the hose question at that time. Citizens who are anxious to see better equipment purchased at once are chafing at the delay and dilatory; tactics occasioned by the refusal of councllmen to agree on a type of machine ; v PHILLIPS PROPERTY RAZED LAST . - NIGHT.

The property was worthless and an .eyesore prevl' pusly. . The .fire department responded to the call and stood by to prevent a spread of the fire to adjoining prop erty but at no time was there serious danger of ignition in other homes in that vicinity. The South La Grande department responded and one hose wagon went to the scene from here BltuIIthlo 10. K. Says Hyland. George Hyland, - president of the Mount Hood Railway company was in the city yesterday, says the Bake Democrat,- Mr. Hyland was formerly. in the paving- business, being cim nected with the Hassam; Pavement company, and he was particularly en thusiastto about the pavement -com pleted and contemplated here. "I think a wise selection has been made In the use of. bltulithlc," he Bald. "While I was engaged In the paving business and a member of the Hassam ' company,' : I am frank to ad mit that bltulithlc is a better mater ial. So far in Portland it has been an unqualified success. Our 'Hassam pavement was not a success such as we hoped for, simply 'because It was Impossible to repair a break success fully and make a good job. Being a concrete composition, the fresh ' mat- serial would riot fuse or 'set,' to that which had been 'exposed to the air. I consider one of the greatest recom mendations for bltulithlc Is the fact that any break in this material can be repaired so that in a few hours II is almost Impossible to find the break O'her cities as' well as Portland have ! I-ecn very much pleased with bl'ullthlc ! and I know this from personal exper ience In traveling about the country when I was in the pavl'.g business myself. . I have absolutely, no connec tion with the bltulithlc company and no. 'ax to grind' In making this Btate- ment." '..'. -": AdVi May 23-lt SLID SHOO L, EVENT WHS EXCELLENT PROGRAM FOB FBI. DAY NIGHT.

An Art That Want Out With tht Old Woodan Warships. An almost forgotten profession Is that of ship carving. For many cen turies, down to the beginning of the nineteenth, the orno mentation of ven sels, especially men of war,. was pro fuse, intricate and florid. The carving on the United States line of battle ship America, launched lu 1782 and presented to Pninre. will give some idea of the extent to which this was carried. .-.-' The figurehead wna a femnle figure crowned with laurel representing America, The right urm was raised, pointing to hen ven. On the left arm was a buckler with n blue ground cur rylng thirteen Hturs. On the stern of the ship under the cabin windows ap peared two large figures In bas-relief representing "Tyranny" and "Oppres sion" bound and - bleeding, on the ground. On tbe back of the starboard quarter was a large figure of , "Mars.',! On the highest part of tbe stern ap peared "Wisdom" and above her bead an owl. "' ' H : Philadelphia furnished not only tbe greatest ship designer In tbe Dnlted States, but also the best ship carver In the world, Wllllitro Rush. In this field be was without a rival, and to a won derful technical skill be added an ar tistic sense of beauty and genius for composition. . He was the first carver to give an idea of life and motion to a ship's fig urehead. Each of bin figureheads was either tbe lifelike representation of s person or some symbolic concoptlou expressed in exquisite carving. His most noted productions were "Nature" for the Constellation, tbe "Genius of the United States" for tbe frigate of that name and "The River God" for the Bast India ship Ganges. These fig ureheads were nine feel blgb and could be removed for repair or in action.-Harper's Weekly. "Queed." a dramatization by Wln- chell Smith of .
