ALBRIGHT TIGHTS TO STOP SKATING (Continued from Page 1.) or missies, or slide any sled or other machine, or any vehicle whatever for amusement in any of the streets, highways or alleys of the city, or over any of the sidewalks, provided, however, that the mayor of the city council shall designate some street or portion thereof, that may be used for coasting purposes at certain sea sons, upon petition, or when it may be deemed advisable by him or them to do so." The Woman's Club, at a meeting Thursday afternoon, unanimously adopted a resolution opposing the plan to prevent children from skating on the sidewalks. The members declared that the children, if their attention were called to the alleged damage being done to parkings, would refrain from doing further damage. It was the unanimous opinion that "the child ren should be as free to use the side walks as dogs." The club also voted to use its in fluence in having preserved the Mc Loughlin promenade along the bluff. It-was declared that it was threaten ed with desecration by street improve ments. The club decided to give one half dozen Caroline Testout rose bushes and a copy of Mr. Lord's book as prizes at the children's fair to be held the coming summer. A committee was appointed to arrange for the serving of refreshments dur ing the booster celebration and $t the Sunday School Convention in April.

POTATO MARKET STILL The situation in the potato trade is still the most unsatisfactory ever known in the local market. Offerings continue very heavy and the demand is at low ebb so far as the wholesale produce trade is concerned. This is due to the fact that nearby producers are practically filling every want of home retailers. There is no outside demand at any price at the present time. So much stock is being offered on consignment by Pacific Northwest interests that outside markets are crying to stop the movement. They are unable to take care of offerings. The greatest disappointment is the lack of demand for seed. To. date this season so little business has been confirmed with the outside that total shipments of this character from the Pacific Northwest points to Califor nia can be easily counted on the fin gers and toes of one person. Everyone who has handled potatoes this season has lost money, therefore none is inclined to speculate at any price. The limited demand that is being shown in the local market is more than taken care of by consign ments without price restriction.

"My belief is that the next 24 hours will develop the greatest tragedy in the history of the country," wired Governor James M!. Cox, of Ohio, to President A. B. Averill, of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, this morning. "We are in great need of funds," continued the Governor. "Wire remit tances payable to the Governor or the treasurer of the state relief fund. You will do a real deed to humanity to induce all trade bodies over the West 'to do the same thing.'" With this ominous message before him, President Averill immediately au thorized a most vigorous campaign for relief funds. Messages were sent instantly to all the leading cities of Oregon, urging them to act quickly. Secretary Giltner was instructed to open a relief fund for Portland peo ple, and to get a working committee in shape for a far-reaching effort to raise money and provisions and cloth ing. All Oregon has been notified of the disaster, and that this state of plenty and immunity from such ca tastrophes should respond to the call of humanity quickly and generously, j Early this morning the voluntary i contributions at the office of- the Chamber of Commerce began. Before the. people fully realized the gravity of need existing they began arriving and' handed in their checks. No com mittees have got out yet among the business men, but it seems certain a big cash fund will be available to forward tomorrow morning. '" Offers of provisions are coming thick. It is clear already that several trainloads of provisions can be sent. Various committees of the states have sent telegraphic offers of carloads of potatoes, onions, apples, flour and oth er products. . To determine what should be done in regard to these 'generous offers, Secretary Giltner sent Governor Cox the following telegram late this morning: "Besides funds, do you want pota toes, onions, apples, clothing and shoes? We presume that although such supplies will reach you several days hence, they will be necessary "even then. Wire immediately regard ing this." President J. H. Young, of the Hill lines here, immediately offered to take free charge of the offers of provisions and supplies, when brought to his lines, if the Eastern connections of the road reaching Ohio and Indiana f would handle the same. Dispatches were sent at once to learn what the other roads would do. The answer was favorable. The Hill lines through out this territory will accept such ton nage and rush it fo destination.

Every hour impresses us with the uncertain ty of the situation. The waters have assumed such unknown heights in many parts of the state thot it will be hardly less than a miracle if vil lages and towns are not wiped out of existence in the southern and. south western parts of Ohio. The storm is moving south of east. "Please give great publicity to an appeal for help. My judgment is that there never has been such a tragedy in the history of the Republic.

' "Piteous appeals have been made by men who were surrounded by wa ter and confronted by the conflagra tion in the city of Dayton. Every hu man energy has been exerted to give relief, and yet the measure of assist ance has been comparatively small. "It Is my belief, however, that by daylight tomorrow those imprisoned in the business section of Dayton can be relieved. The day began by a storm signal from the weather bureau ad vising that there would be dangerous rise In the waters of the Muskigum River. AH the towns along this sour.ee, including .Zanesville and Marietta, were advised. Before noon the situa V. Harris The Quality Grocer Enterprise City's Daily Oak Morrison tion assumed a critical aspect at Zanesville, and the historic 'Y' bridge was blown up with dynamite. "The loss of life in Zanesville is un certain, because all telephone com munication ceased at noon. Marietta cannot be reached, but it is safe to assume that the same devastation results at Zanesville were carried on to Marietta. ' "A flood situation developed in the Maumee and Sandusky Valleys, in Northwestern Ohio, hut the damage to life and property was nothing com pared with that in the south. "In many respects the Dayton situa tion is without parallel. The. city is unable to. send to the outside world any accurate idea of the real loss."
