SPECIAL SESSION IS HELD AT
NIGHT TO INTRODUCE DOG

ROCK CRUSHER PURCHASE DELAYED
Seventh Street Improvement Also

Has Report Ready High
v St. Grade Changed
Two sessions of the city council
were held Wednesday, one at half
. past nine in the morning, when busi
ness was transacted with such dis
patch that one of the most important
matters was entirely forgotten; and
the second at half past seven in the
evening, to take up the "left over"
from the morning session.
The evening meeting was called
primarily to have introduced and
passed to second reading an ordin
ance empowering the mayor to issu
a proclamation at any time ordering
all dogs in ths city to be muzzled and
restrained, and also to provide that
during the months of July, August,
September and October, all dogs
should be muzzled if running at large.
This ordinance was promptly put un
der way, and as it is an emergency
measure will become effective in ten
days. In the meantime it is the urg
,ent request of the city authorities
that all dogs be muzzled or restrain
ed from running at large. There was
no opposition to the ordinance.
The morning session moved with a
briskness and harmony that was re
marked upon by many who were pres
ent. There was no wrangling, and
but little lengthy discussion of meas
ures. An ordinances was adopted
changing the grade of High street,
and considerable routine business
transacted.
The matter of the improvement of
Seventh street was postponed for a
week, and a committee appointed to
confer with property owners at ths
lower end of that thoroughfore in re
gard to carrying it through full width
to the edge of the bluff.
In the matter of the purchase of
the Jones rock-crusher by the city, no
action was taken, Councilman Tooze,
chairman of the special committee at
present having this matter in charge,
being absent.
John McCua, a Portland attorney,
addressed the council upon the claims
of the McAlpin-Wilson contracting
company for a bill of $500 on past
work. The matter was referred to
the street committee for settlement.

nouncing in no uncertain terms the
social life of modern society women,
and also taking a rap at "cafe" habit
ues of Portland, Dr. Matt S. Hughes
lecured before 2000 people at Chautau
qua Wednesday afternoon on "The Di
mensions of Life." The eloquent Cal
ifornian, in turning his guns on the
gatherings of modern society women,
intimated that their empty discus
sions were open confessions of intel
lectual poverty and that the silly
games participated in at the afternoon
gatherings would not even be permit
ted from a first-class kindergarten.
"I dined at a cafe in Portland after
leaving here the other night," said
Dr. Hughes. "I saw your so-called
'high-life' there, and I want to say it
was far from appetizing, even when
served up with beans."
Dr. Hughes' talk was a plea for the
mental, moral and spiritual develop
ment of men. "I believe it'is really
more practical to tell how to make a
life than to tell how to make a liv
ing. Do you realize that it is life
that gives significance to time, and
not time which gives significance to
life. The dimensions of life are then,
time, in the sense of length or space;
breadth, in the sense of breadth of
heart, breadth of knowing and feel
ing, or broadly speaking breadth of

The golden potlatch at Seattle, Wash., which was scheduled to start on July IB In accordance with the yearly
custom, is a unique three day celebration. In July, 1807. the ship Portland steamed into Elliott bay, Seattle, laden
with the yellow gold dust which had been obtained at El Dorado in the Klondike. Assisting in the celebration this
year there, will be the tyee of the potlatch and his sitkuin chiefs and shamans. The word potlatch is taken from
the quaint jargon of the Chinook and means a gift something freely given. The Indians of Washington's water
ways and the Alaskan coast expanded the meaning of the word, so that potlatch came to mean a fenst. or, better,
a festival given by the chief of a tribe which lasted until the host had given away all of his earthly possessions to
the various guests who had been invited to participate in the ceremony. At the end he was broke, but had experi
enced the time of his life and was respected by all other members of his tribe until his dying day. The picture
shows how the miners and Indians look as the Portland enters the harbor for each year's celebration.

Long Run Responding to Sec

Difficult to Subdue ,
Fire, which for a tirno threatened
to include in its destruction the Wil
lamette hotel, broke out about ten
o'clock Wednesday evening in a two-
story frame warehouse at the corner
of Fifth street and Rai'.road avenue,
occupied as a storage building by 1.
Tolpolar, second hand dealer. The
origin of the blaze has not been as
certained. Smoke was smell ad in the
vicinity of ths building, which is just
to the south of the main business sec
tion of the city, for sometime before
the flames were discoverad; but as
weeds and grass were being burned
on the river front, nobody thought of
any danger.
When the alarm was turned in the
entire interior of the structure was a j
mass of flames, and before the ap
paratus reached the scene sparks and
tongues of fire were flaring high in
the air above the building. The fire
had ' gained such headway that the
first streams of water turned upon it
had practically no effect, and a sec
ond alarm was rung in some ten min
utes later.
Responding to this ths Greenpoint
hose company made a run of pract:
caily half a mile, and attacked the
fire from the rear, members of the
company working on a narrow run
way that extend 3d from the Southern
Pacific embankment to the second
story of the burning structure. Ly
this time several streams were gotten
upon the fire, and the blaze was kept
from spreading, though it was fully
an hour later before the smouldering
mass of wrecked furniture within the
storage warehouse was extinguished.
The loss is estimated at about $3,000,
possibly $800 of this being to the
building. But a small amount of in
surance was carried.
During the heat of the fire the wind
carried the main part of the heat and
sparks directly towards the rear of
the Willamette hotel, on Sixth street,
and tennants of this building hastily
made preparations to evacuate. Mauy
of them had retired, and the glare of
the flames and the crackling of tne
fire created a near-panic for a few
.minutes. Volunteers kept streams of
water playing on the three stories oi
the hotel, however, and though the
paint on the building was blistered,
and the walls at times began to steam
the fcig building did not catch fire.
