The explosion of a tank for gan used In Illuminating passenger can near the Grand Central station in New York railed the attention of the au thorities to a danger about which little was known, and It also Informed the public concerning the explosive prop erties of gas when mixed with air. Under certain conditions the gas la Photo by American Press Association. SCANTLING IMBEDDED IN TILL more dungerous than dynamite, and when It explodes it exerts more force than nitroglycerin. The tremendous force of the explo sion was showu In many ways, some of them being in the nature of freaks. For instance, a pine scantling was driven from the power house where the explosion occurred across the street mid was firmly imbedded in the brick wall of an Hpartmeut house. The scantling must have beeu going with the velocity of a projectile fired from a high power gun to tenetrate the wall hs it did. The damage to property from the explosion Is estimated at $500,000 to ftloo.OtiO, windows being shattered for blocks. The damages that the New York Central railroad will have to pay because of the twelve persona killed and the 125 or more Injured will probably be more than a million dollars. Small Fire Causes Panic Because of tnailetiate tire protec tion, procrty holders are very ten- dor on the matter of lire, ant when the gong sounded on Saturtlay a small-sized panic tvns on. It was the chimney of the opera house burn ing out anil In so spectacular a way that it had all the npiwarance of the real thing. Nothing serious resulted, but It had all the ear marks of com edy. While a couple of the boys were up on the roof putting out the tire with snow balls, Chester Cr-ilg was on the roof of the Knterprlse olllce furiously pounding the bell with a hammer, f r the rope had gone on a strike. The only cool one was the man who climbed up two stories with a quart of water In a dipper, aud the nolo plajers In the pool hall, who went on with their game, stopping only to Inquire If they thought they would have time to finish the game. If a fire should break out In White Salmon, the only thing that could be done Is to sit on the opposite side of the street and figure up your Insurance policy. White Salmon F.nterprlse. The new Milan! tables recently ordered for the enlarged quarters at the Commercial Club were set up Monday and the blllnnl playing ele ment of the orgaiilzntlon is now happy. The tables are the latest from the Itruuswlck Collcudar Com pany and the addition gives the club one of the most at tract I ve rooms In the state. Thus Chapman returned Monday from a business trip Into eastern Oregon. Is' ft " - i:. ' CITY COUNCIL TAKES IMPORTANT ACTION With Councllmen BroMlus, llugglus and Wright voting yes and Hall and Smith no, and Arnold not present, the ordinance appointing A. J. Derby city attorney wan finally passed at the council meeting Monday night and Is now up to Mayor llartwlg for his signature. When the measure was taken up for a itecoud reading, Councilman Smith moved that it be referred to the judiciary committee. This was seconded by Coudcllmau Hall, but the motion was lost. The ordinance was then placed on Its final passage and carried. It Is be lieved that the ordinance will be vetoed by the mayor. An ordinance also passed the first reading providing for an Increase In the salary of the recorder from $25 to $50 ter month aud giving hi in the use of the city hall for an olllce. The ordinance, If passed, will become effective January 1, lull The ordlnauce providing for adver tising the sale of the water bonds In the sum of $00,000 was passed, with the provision that the Interest rate shall not exceed 6 per cent. The date for opening bids Is fixed for April 3rd. It was stated by the recorder that be had received a communication from the Hood Klver Light & I'ower Company, stating that the injunc tion suit against the councllmen bad been dismissed, but that he had left the communication at his oflice. The suit of Laura F. ltatchelder against the city, lu regard to the public high way adjoining the Batehelder prop erty, was discussed. The last action In the suit was taken In July, 1909, when It was referred for the taking of testimony ou request of the city attorney. Since then It has beeu allowed to languish. Councllmeu llugglus, as chairman of the Huauce committee, reported that Craudall & Koberts had been en gaged to audit the city's accounts at a charge of $ 7 per day, the lowest bid that bad been made. Council man Broslus, of the health commit tee, asked that the city marshal be instructed to notify owners of cess pools lu district No. 8 that they must be closed aud the outhouses re moved. On reconimeudatlou of the police committee, the nomination of Kobt. Strong for uightwatchmau on the hill was confirmed aud his serv ices continued. An ordiuHUce for Improving Oak street passed the first reading, aud an assessment of property ou State ttreet for Improvements was submit ted to the council. 1 he recorder was Instructed to make an Itemized bill of the expenses of the receut bond election ami collect the same from the Light rower Compauy. Ad dltlonal street lighting was discussed and a motion to place lights ou 12th street was referred to the fire aud water committee. As a member of the fire aud water committee, Coun cilman llugglus reported that his at tention had been called to the fact that there was no rear exit to the Monroe Theatre and that Its other modes t f egress were not considered safe. The matter was referred to the proper committed for action. Councilman Smii h brought up the matterof having 12th street straight ened out at the corner of May, saying that he had Deen told that the prop erty holders would give the necessary ground. Councilman Hrosius stated that the proposition had lieeu wres tled with tor some time, but that the street commit tee had U-en unable to get a satisfactory agreement with the iidjolning property owners. Councilman Wright said that he had lieen approached by one of the prop erty owners with the proposition to give the required ground If the city would cancel an assessment for Im provements against his property for $"2(VI. This he thought was out of the question. As the matter stood, he said he Is'llevetl the city would have to buy the ground If the street was straightened. Lntertalned at Celilo Lieutenant L. T. Iiussell In charge of the government construction works at Celilo Falls entertained a large party from 1 he Dalles last Saturtlay evening, ate menu dancing until late, music by the Hood Klver After an elabor was Indulged In being furnished Mandolin Club.

WetxT of The Dalles), fruit- man nd owner of a big orchard at Hoot! Klver, was here Saturday to look over his property.

One of them 1 a bill authorizing the chief clerk lu the secretary of state's olllce to off Id ate as secretary during the absence of the latter.
