The rv«idrn<v occupied by Mr«. Neeley
on 93rd Hl. H. £., near 6Aih avenue, and
owned by J. D. Leigh ot Portland, was
entirely consumed by tire at an early
boar Monday morning. The shrill call
of tlie sireu aroused the residents of
lants about (our o’clock, but the tire
was not discovered until the roof of the
building was al>out to fail.
Fire Chief
Goggins responded quickly with the
tire-fighting apparatus of the I^nls
Volunteer Fire Department.
Ils was
accompanied by I>r. O'Donnell, Ken
neth Forte,
Harry Burham, Billie
Fatchel, Bsrl Muenser, lx>n Boland and
Ray <iaaton.
Heroic work was done
with the result that adjoining property
was saved, notwithstanding tlie house
nest to the burning building was so
close as to admit of only a walk Iwtween
and tlie roof was burning when the tire
company arrived on the scene.
The origin of the tire Is unknown.
The tire company is of tlie opinion that
it must have been of incendiary origin
inasmuch as an unknown man was ole
srrved running at full spaed from that
direction aiaiut the time the tin- was
discovered. He was seen to run down
the car tracks and disaj>|>ear. The
police stale that then* has been a prowl
er in that vicinity for some little time
past, but they have not been able to get
d<*v enough to him to identify him.
.Mr». Neeley, who occupies the house,
is caring for an aged woman and the
two were sleeping in the adjoining
house, which Mrs. Seeley cam tor in
the alwence of the oocupanU.
At oue
o’clock she had been up and lighted a
lamp in tier own house and had taken
the precaution to pat tlie burning
match in the sink. Going back to the
oilier house she was soon asleep ami

He was the
owner of the house occupied by Mr.
Mills on 92nd street which burned early
in July.
ENGLISH ARMY GETS
CALIFORNIA FRUIT
.Selected California fruit will grace tlie
mess tables of British army officers in
far away Egypt.
Tbe British Govern
ment has placed an order for fifty
tliouaand dollars
worth of canned
apricots, the fm t to be delivered from
canneries at Pomona, Hemet and Kings
burg.
Tlie Southern Pacific Company an
nounced today that it was starting tlie
first car over its lines to Ogden. The
car contains 90,000 pounds of fruit in
15000 cases. Tbe balance of tlie ship
ment, say Southern Pacific officials, will
be hurried «arose continent and across
ocean as fast as txswihle.
Wednesday was a high day with local
Grangers. At an early hour they started
oct from lente, filling to capacity the
Ainsworth auto truck, spending the day
on the Colombia Highway. Eagle Creek
rar reached in time for dinner and any
one who has ever sal down to a Grange
"feed" can let their imagination loose
when it comes to tbe "eats." That It
wasn't "Hooverised" is a safe bet. By
a happy coincidence It was diecovered
that tbe day selected lor tbe picnic was
tbe 75th birthday of Mr. Miller, an hon
ored member of tbe order. It was too
late when this was discovered to add
anything by way ot celebration, but a
special dainty was prepared by Mrs.
McNeil and presented to him at the ta
ble in the name of the Lents Grange,
with appropriate remarks. Mr. Kreu-
der, Grand Master, accompanied tbe
party.
The tlsti hatcheries were visited on
the return trip. Also. Multnomah Falls
where the party etopjied lor supper.
One of the most delightful side trips uf
the day was a visit to Oneonta Gorge,
several ot the company |>enetrating far
up the ravine. Many pictures were ob
tained which will be cherished as sou
venirs of the trip.
Last Thursday in tbe early evening
tbe Icente playground was tbe scene of
a very pretty Fairy Carnival which wae
staged and executed under the direc
tion of Miss Edna Agler, supervisor ol
the girls.
Tbe pegaent was headed by the Fairy
Queen. Mies Mabel Smith who took
this part was resplendent in green Tar
latan trimmed with gilt stars and wore
a gold crown. Hhe was greeted by a
group of wee fairies who executed a
dainty dance. A group of shy little vis
itor« to Fairyland wore quaint peasant
costumes and were treated royally by
their elfin hosts.
A bunch of small
boys disguised as clowns acted very
successfully as ".Mischiefmakers,” but
redeemed themselves for their mischief
by the clever tumbling and ¡pyramid
building stunts which they pulled off.
The Beauties of Fairyland were repre
sented by a group of girls in pink cos
tume-, while the Flowers consisted of a
group of older girls in vari-colord cos
tumes representative of different flowers.
The entire program was very prettily
and effectively executed.
Mise Agler
has taken a great deal of interest in the
children and has worked hard to make
their Hummer play time pleasant as

The Grangers are singing
his praises for tbe carelulncee exhibited
in rounding the curvee and on all dan

joyed that a repetition is already being

SERIES OF GARD PARTIES
GIVEN BY RELIEF BOARD
Draft Excess Profits.
Majority leader Kitchin, Chairman
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee,
declares that a
war for
democracy should be paid for by a
democratic tax.
Mr. Kitchin appears
to Is* a little hazy as to the definition of
a democratic tax, but he is able at least
to exclude some of the undemocratic
taxes.
”1 want the man who cornea
home with an empty sleeve,” lie says,
"to feel that the Congees which sent
him away has not favored the profit
taker who stayed at home.”
This
thought must be hammered into Con
gress until tlie memtwre sense it.
War
is a sacrifice. Lives are given. Cripples
are made. Property is destroyed. Tlie
whole country is made poorer.
How
then in a democracy where the burdens
are shared by all, can some enrich
themselves by war? No one will con
tend that the men at the front are en
riching themselves. Nor will any argue
that the slight advance in wages as com
pared with the high cost of living will
make labor better off.
But people with
great incomes, and firms making big
profits, will be richer at tlie conclusion
of the war. Thia must not be. Theee
surplus incomes and these excess profits
should go to defray the cost of the war.
This is a war for democracy. Tlie bur
den must be borne by all.—Public.
