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

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.

PORTLAND, March 27. (Special.)
"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.

"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

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."
