10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1901. DEMANDS FIRE BOAT Chamberof Commerce Urges Legislative Action. LOWER RATES OF INSURANCE Petitions to Be Sent to Multnomah. Delegation Favoring: Authority for an Appropriation In the JTeiv City Charter. The truetees of the Chamber of Com merce voted yesterday to push the project of building a flreboat. A petition will fce sent to the Multnomah legislative dele gation urging that the city be authorized to bu(M the tooat. The suggestion of the Oregon Worn el's "Flax Fiber Association that the state provide a plant 'In one of the state Institutions fr the manufacture of grain sacks, twine and other coarse goods from flax was indorsed. Assistant Secretary Hasten read the fol lowing report on the purehase of a fire boat: Portland, Jan. 10, 1600 The manager of the board of underwriters ot the Pacific district. I ds S. Otny, has written to the Chamber of Conuaerce that "a flreboat is of vital Import ance, and no city in the United States of the eize of Portland -with a water front such as we have is without this class of protection. The benefits to be derived from a flreboat are znaaifote, as, besides protection afforded to manufacturing- interests and large docks, some of which are without any protection whateer from Are at this day, the shipping Interests are absolutely without any mode of protection. "The matter has bad the careful considera tion of the executive committee in San Fran clsoe, and I am authorized to stato that all property under proper Are protection in this city will receive a benefit over existing rates by a reduction of from 10 to 15 per cent, ac cordtBg to the class and location of property protected. Reductions of these figures will re sult in the annual saving to property-owners of between $90,000 and $85,000. These reduc tions will apply to the entire dwelling section, as well as on other parts of the city. "As the last additions to the equipment of the Portland Fire Deparment were made soma 10 years ago, the city has largely outgrown the equipment, owing to Its extensive growth In that time, the large number of the build ings that have been erected in the business section, besides the establishments of magni tude that have been placed on the river front within the past two years. In giving this mat ter attention, the probable conditions of the river front a few years hence should be care fully considered, particularly as a serious fire in this locality would endanger almost the en tire city." Since the present city charter gives the Fire Commissioners no power to make on approbation for a flreboat, the Cham ber of Commerce considers that the only way to secure relief is by legislative action. Since the assurance has been given that the benefits from reduction of Insurance rates will extend to all parts of the city, as far east as Sunnyside, south as far as Carruthers street, west In some parts as far as' Twenty-seventh, and north to Upshur or "Weldler, a peti tion will be circulated for signatures. The proposed flax plant for a state in stitution was brought before the trustees by a letter from Mrs. H. L. Pittock, pres ident of the Oregon "Women's Flax Fiber Association, stating that the association had worked for the past four years to promote the flax Industry and had demon strated that no better flax could be grown anywhere. Linens of all grades, from grain sacks to table linens, had been woven from Oregon flax. Financially, the association Is not able to continue the work, and It was desired that the state should co-operate. A bill will be intro duced in the Legislature asking that the state buy the plant and materials of the association and place It in a state insti tution, preferably the penitentiary, whore coarse and useful goods could be manu factured from the flax grown by the farm ers. The desired Indorsement was given. Proposed amendments to the interstate commerce law, giving the commission greater powor, were discussed and referred to President Hahn, with power to act. A motion for an advertising committee of five to publish information concerning the resources of various sections of Ore gon, was carried, and a membership com mittee .of three was authorized. These will bo announced by President Hahn. Russellvllle, died Monday at the home of her daughter. She was 87 years and 6 months old. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. Interment In Multnomah Cemetery. Dr. F. S. Locke, of University Park, was thrown out of a delivery wagon Saturday and severely injured in the side and back. He was driving along the road at a lively rate when the front wheel struck an obstruction. The following officers of Peninsula Lodge No. 8, I. O. O.

(To the Editor.) I noticed an article in The Ore gonlan of January 13, In which the writer states, among other things, that the peo ple of Eastern Oregon are in favor of a prohibitory law In regard to the killing and selling of deer, ducks and other wild game. Now, I have lived in Southeastern Ore gon for over 20 years, and have not only hunted for both pleasure and market during that time, but have also been with a great many prominent people from out side points. For the real sentiment of the people of the eastern part of our state I would call your attention to an article entitled, "Hints to the Legislature," In your Issue of December 23, 1900. In regard to shortening the season it would be bet ter to make the duck law, from October 1 to March 1, and leave the deer law" alone as It is now. I would recommend that the Fish Com missioner's attention be especially called to the violation of the fish laws all over the state by mill companies, mainly by the sawmlls. In the Klamath River millions of small trout are annually killed by sawdust, also great numbers of larger fish, while so-called sportsmen from the large and small cities west of the Cas cades catch tons of fine fish and kill thousands of ducks during the closed sea son, mainly during the months of July and August. I have seen Portland sportsmen (?) shoot young canvasbacks and mallards that were unable to rise off the water, and call that sport; while later these same fine gentlemen growl both loud and deep because ducks are killed for market, and they blame the market-hunter for this scarcity that they were the main cause in creating.

Biff Demand for Cottages of Moder ate Size. On the East Side cottages of five and six rooms are in great demand. The foundations of two new cottages for Mrs. Dalton have been started on East Pine and Bast Eighth. The contractor says GO persons have inquired of him when the dwellings will be completed. A builder says that there is more profit In small houses than in large ones. The small cottages command $15 and $18. Many dwellings were, put up last year for rent, but the demand was only partly met. An East Side real estate man said yesterday that he was sure he could rent 10-3 houses of moderate size and price In a few days. Attempt to Bnrfirlnrlzo St. Paul's Church. An attempt was made to burglarize the St- Paul German Lutheran church. East Twelfth and Clinton streets, during the absence of Rev. "August Krause, the pastor, at Salem, Sunday and Monday. It was discovered yesterday that the church had been entered. A ladder was taken from a cottage under construction in the rear of the church and placed against the wall so that the window opening In the auditorium could be reached. The auditorium and basement were thoroughly ransacked, but the bur glars got nothing of value. Since the silver communion set was stolen a year ago nothing of value Is left In the church.

Mrs. Featherstone, principal of the Orient School, is arranging to give an entertainment at G. A. R, hall 4n Feb ruary. The proceeds will be devoted to the purchase of an organ for the school. The petition for free rural delivery of mail at Pleasant Home has 100 sig natures. The signers represent several hundred people. Only two families on the plank road between Pleasant Home and the Sandy declined to sign. The recent storm caused considerable damage In the neighborhood. Johnson Creek was torrential, overflowing its banks and flooding the roads in places. The saw mill of Groves & Yonkers had to be closed, as the water from the creek reached the boiler. Timber and fences were blown down. One large tree was blown across the road near the G. A. R. Hall. J N Burgess, Antelope C A Johnson, Lex.

Charles N. Crtttenton & Co.. O. H. Jadwln. J Henry Kline & Co. and Bruen. Richer & Co. A. J. Johnson, Government Forestry Expert, returned from Washington, D. C, yesterday. Ho visited the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo with Commis sioners Bosch and Tlfft to select space for the Oregon exhibits. From there he went to Washington to assist in compiling the forestry report, on which he has been at work for two years, and to go over the copy of the report and the map which has been made by the Geological Survey. This map was completed and ready for the engravers before Mr. Johnson left Wash ington, and will soon be In the hands of the printers. Henry Gannett, chief geographer of the survey, was highly pleased with the completeness of the re port, and especially of the map on which he heartily congratulated Mr. John son, pronouncing it the most instructive map of the kind that had ever been made by the department. He promised to have a special copy of this map ready for the opening of tne Pan-American Exposition, to be used In Oregon's forestry exhibit. Mr. Johnson had an enjoyable time in Washington, and was treated royally by different departments. From Washing ton he went to New York, and spent foun days visiting friends connected with the Botanical Gardens and Museum of Natural History. He came back by way of Washington and Chicago, spending a day In the Columbia Museum, which was formed of the relics of the world's fair. The curator of this museum was one of Mr. Johnson's friend In the world's fair, and he showed him everything In the In stitution. I'he world's fair grounds, Mr. Johnson says, have undergone a complete transformation and have become a beau tiful park. Tho only thing left as a re minder of the great fair is this museum. It is in the Fine Arts building. From Chicago Mr. Johnson went to St. Paul and Minneapolis to collect Informa tion of the lumbering Interests of that seotion. As the Mississippi was frozen, all the mills were shut down, and Mr. Johnson found nothing but the piles of lumber and slabwood, which proved the most interesting thing he saw, as ex hibiting the difference in the slabs of the East and the Pacific Coast. He says he could easily put a dozen pieces of slab wood In his overcoat pocket, as none of them was more than two inches wide. It often takes two men to handle one cut of a Pacific Coasit slab. He says the Eastern men would make fortunes out of tho slabs of the Pacific Coast if they had thorn to saw, as the wasted material here Is more than equal to the sawlogs of tho Bast. He saw sawlocs broucht In on cars loaded across the cars little saplings that the Western farmers would turn up their noses at If they had to use them for femce posts. Mr. Johnson intends to show the East ern people at the Pan-American Exposi tion the difference between the sawlogs of the West and the East provided that the Oregon Legislature will make an ap propriation that will enable Oregon to be placed at the front In the coming ex position at Buffalo. This exposition will be one of the grandest ever held In any country, and will certainly be a success on account of " the immense population within a few hours' travel. Oregon should not fall to embrace the opportunity af forded to ma&e the best display possible of all Its wonderful natural resources. Buffalo is one of the best laid out, clean est and most attractive cities in the United States. The streets are kept as clean as can be, the buildings are all bright and clean, and in fact, the whole city looks as If it had been polished for the occasion, but Mr. Johnson learned that this is the normal appearance of the city. Mr. Johnson, is anxiously waiting for the decision of the Lagislature before start ing in on the active work of preparing his exhibit. Ho hopes tho decision will be reached before long, as there is much work to be done in collecting exhibits. It also requires considerable time to trans port exhibits so far, and time also for arranging and completing the exhibit for the opening of the exposition. BILLS FROM MULTNOMAH. Summary of Measures Presented by "Citizens" House Delegation. SALEM, Jan. 2L The activity of the House delegation from Multnomah may be Judged by the number and variety of bills already Introduced. They cover al most the entire range of reform measures desired and advocated by the "citizens." Their scope and character may be judged by the titles to the bill.

TANGENT l K" B c U J J if Yvvv f uMyy vu III v It i i 111 1 II .TP'' "1 1 j l II - w -J Mr. J. Haskins Smith, principal of the Eugene Field School, Rogers Park, Chi cago, is a recent purchaser of the Home Study Circle Library. "I regard it," says Mr. Smith, "as the most valuable and practical work of its nature published." And if there is one volume of the fif teen more practical than the others it is that devoted to mathematics. "This book Is essentially practical," is the opening sentence of the preface. .It "covers a pretty wide field, and no young man can master it without finding himself greatly benefited that is to say, greatly strengthened and armored for the battle of life." "Mathematics," says -Arbuthnot, "charms the passions, restrains the im petuosity of imagination and purges the mind from error and prejudice." What a treasury of knowledge Is our matchless, many-sided Library. Whatever volume of the fifteen you look into, it seems as though you find right there a value so distinct and practical as to be worth to you the price of the en tire set. Consider, for example, this mathe matics volume. Many older people, to be sure, who long ago received a thor ough mathematical training, are content to find delight in other volumes of the set those on literature, science, art or musk and to let the younger members of the family train their faculties in mathematics; but for teachers and for students, for clerks, stenographers, me chanics, draughtsmen in fact, for all young men and women its genuine worth can scarcely be exaggerated. If you want to take a straight, cut to promotion, master this mathematics volume. Science, literature, music, art, governments, history, business, are also dealt with in this thorough-going practical Library. The titles below will tell you something more about it. You get the entire Library upon making a small first payment, the balance payable at your convenience monthly. .
