gon City Postal Savings Bank was
disappointing. . There were only eix
depositors, the deposits totaling 203.
One man deposited 2100. One woman
and one child opened an account.
Postmaate Randall, however, declared
that tbe business of the first day waa
not a fair test because of the Incle
ment weather. There was a heavy
rain almost all day, and -many far
mers who were expected to become
patrons of the bank did not come to

several years have deposited their
money with the postofflce by purchas
ing money orders and keeping them,
have signified their Intention of de
positing the money in the postal bank.
There bave been many Inquiries re
garding the new department and Post

PORTLAND'S FIRE
CHIEF IS KILLED
DAV'D CAMPBELL DIES LEADING
MEN IN BIG OIL TANK
BLAZE.
JOHN YOUNG, ASSISTANT, INJURED
Oregon City Man See Charred jnd
Mangled Body of Hero .
Taken From Ruins
Others Hurt
The big fire In Portland In which
David Campbell, fire chief, was killed
and John- Young, assistant chief, was
seriously Injured, was witnessed by
several residents of this city. T. H.
Cross, who bas a harness shop at 511
Seventh street, saw the recovery of
the chiefs body. The body was so
badly charred the features of the chief
were hardly recognizable. The plant
of the Union Oil Company, of Cali
fornia, was destroyed, causing a loss
of about $100,000.
With every fire company In Port
land, the flreboat crew and many vol
unteers working, It was more than
three hours before the fire, which was
In tbe Union OH Company's distribut
ing plant, could be subdued and the
debris sufficiently cleared away to per
mit the finding of Chief Campbell's
body.
Chief Instantly Killed.
Terribly burned and bruised, the Ufs
apparently put out In an Instant, the
body of Chief Campbell was found 60
feet from the nearest entrance. He
bad reached the entrance before the
severest explosion came. His last vr
der before re-entering the building
saved the lives of the crew of engine
No. 1, for they had been where tbe
north walls would have crushed them,
and at the chief s orders they moved
beyond tbe danger zone. The re
mains were taken to the morgue.
The Union OH Company dlstrlBut
Ing plant's location la East Salmon
and Water streets. Current bad been
turned Into the motor, used for pump
ing oil into tbe tanks by an employe
In the office. Gas is supposed to have
accumulated In the motor pit. The
burst of flame was followed by the
upheaving explosion of tho -first of
three tanks. It was the explosion of
tbe second tank Immediately follow
ing tbat burled tbe north wall out
ward and caught Chief Campbell un
der the falling roof.
Firemen Hurled Into Street.
Several hundred men were about
the building at the time of the ex
plosion. Tbey were burled, on the
west side. Into the street, and on
the north side against heaped up cob
blestones. The fact that the blast of
the explosion carried the men with
it probably saved their lives, for the
concrete wall of the building, a foot
thick and 40 feet high, covered the
spacw on which they had been stand
ing. Assistant Fire Chief Young was
about to re-enter the burning build
ing when tbe second ex plosion 'came.
He was hurled across the street, his
head terribly gashed and his body
bruised. Undaunted by his injuries
he struggled with ambulance atten
dants, trying to stay on the ground
in command of the fight agalqst the
flames, rather than be removed to
the hospital.
Hero Hurt Saving Men.
Lieutenant George Johnson of en
gine company No. 1 was another hero
of the furious fire. Men from the fire
boat George H. Williams, from engine
No. 1 and from several other com
panies bad carried lines of hose with
in the building from the north en
trance. Word was shouted that the
explosion would come in an Instant
and nothing within the walls could
survive It. With this knowledge John
son dashed Into the building, forced
the men outside just as the explosion
came. Beyond a few briuses all were
uninjured. Several other men were
slightly injured.
"I did only the best I could," was
his modest way of disclaiming special
credit.
The distributing plant of the Stan
dard OH Company adjoins that of the
destroyed Union OH Company. By
concentrating several streams of wa
ter upon Jt, It was saved from dam
age. x
Among the last to see Chief Camp
bell enter the building was Officer L.
K. Evans, who heard the chief order

RECEPTION FOR GROWN PER

FOR CHILDREN. -
400 VOLUMES ADDED TO COLLECTD
System Used In Public Institution In
Portland Installed Room
Is Made More
. Attractive. .
Arrangements were completed Moo
day for the reopening of the Oregon
City Library torarorow afternoon. The
public will be given an Informal re
ception in the reading room 1st the
Masonic Building, and on Thursday
afternoon an entertainment will be
given for the children. It will consist
of music and the reading of stories.
It la probable that prominent men
of this city will be asked to make ad
dresses at the meeting tomorrow after
noon. Miss Alma Moore, the librarian,
was assisted In the rearrangement of
the books by Miss Topping, of the
State Library Board, and several wo
men, of this city.
400 New Volumes Received.
More than 400 volumes have been
received since the library was closed
several month ago. The library now
has about 1,200 volumes and 200 more
will be purchased in a few days. The
system used In the public library In'
Portland has been adopted and new
furniture bas been provided. Tbe old
tables bave been cut In two, and the
appearance of the reading room la
much more attractive.
That the library will be more largely
patronized than ever before bas been
Indicated by the number of persona
"who bave asked when it would be re
opened.
Room Made Attractive.
The visitors tomorrow will be given
application cards, but the privilege of
taking out books will not be granted
until Friday, when the library will
open in reality. Tne room naa been
painted and cleaned, and everything
bas been done to make it attractive.
It Is thought that the benefits
which may now be derived from the
library will be an incentive to publlc
siplrted citizens to do more toward the
werk. and eventually , result In .the
city having a modern library.' ' There
bas been some talk of asking aid from
Mr. Carogie.
Soap-suds ' will kill plant lice. So
will tobacco extract, kerosene emul
sion or whale-oil soap.
