Eight Volunteer Sta tions to Be Located on Blue Moun tain Peaks Now En Route From Washington, D. C. The local Weather Bureau Is now making arrangements for the estab lishment of at least eight rainfall sta tions In the higher altitudes of the Blue Mountains, and on the east slope of tho Cascades. The primary object of these stations is to provide and furnish data for the benefit of those interested in irrigation projects. In an official communication Just re ceived from tne department in Wash ington the local officials are directed ' lo make special efforts to establish additional volunteer rainfall stations in the 'higher altitudes of your sec tion on or within the drainage basins of streams whoso waters are used for irrigation purposes. At this time en gineers In charge of Important irriga tion projects arc looking to the be icau for more complete precipitation data and to meet their needs addi tional stations are required." Complete data covering the precipi tation In the mountains is of great Im portance to tne irrigation engineers and necessary In planning for the han dling ot the water in the canals when the flood season begins. The stations wlM be located .on the highest eleva tions possible. District Forecaster Bcals, who will establish the stations, is in correspond ence with John T. Whistler, chief en gineer of the Reclamation Servce in Oregon, and has received the latter s views on the best locations for the proposed stations. Eight sets of equip ment, including the rain guages, arc jiow on the way from Washington and will be Installed as fast as locations st found. NEW HEE ALARMS NEEDED. Officials Consider Plans for Improv ing Present Fire Alarm System. Th Fire Department committee of the Executive Board at its meeting In the city Hall yesterday took under consid eration the offer of the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Company to furnish nuch parts as are necessary to make the present fire-alarm boxes, In use in the clt. up to date. George H. Walker, superintendent of the fire alarm telegraph system, was pres ent and demonstrated the efficiency of the latest Improved box overjLhose In use. He stated that thc-aartlple of the new boxes had been sent him and that the parts necessary to make the change In the old boxes would be furnished at $9 per box. Mr. Walker argued that the present boxes, owing to their inferior mechan isms, caused much trouble and frequent ly, through the crossing of wires, rut out the entire system. The changing of 30 boxes, he thought, would put Portland's flre-alarm system on par with any in ex istence, and he pleaded that 5270 be ap propriated for that purpose. Tho committee expressed a hope that the people of South Portland may soon have a fire company, particularly be cause a lot had already been donated for the purpose, but as the appropriation for the Fire Department has been severe ly cut. there seems to be no possibility of a company being instituted there at present. Arrangements for affiliation with the Iewis and Clark Fair fire department were also discussed, but nothing of a definite nature decided upon. It is prob able that a conference between Mayor Williams. Chief Campbell and Director General Goode will take place in the near future. No other business of an impor tant nature came up for discussion. Tho meeting adjourned at 5:10 P. M. CUETIS PICTURES TONIGHT. "Motion-Pictures" of a Remarkable Indian Ceremonial to Be Shown. The mystifying and secret religious cer emonial of the Navajo Indians, which up to the present time has remained abso lutely unknown to tho civilized world, -will be shown tonight for the first time at the White Temple, Twelfth and Taylor streets, by E. W. Curtis, under the aus pices of the Mazamas. This great festi val, known as the Yeblchal, occupies ten days annually and affords a most fascin ating opportunity of studying the inner life and rich religious ritual of this inter esting tribe. Thrilling scenes from Apacheland and the curious devices of the "medicine man" In healing tho sick and otherwise work ing upon the imagination and supersti tion of the patients, will also be shown tonight. The stereoptlcon lecture of to night is wholly different from that of last evening. The wonderful "motion pictures" are sure to occasion much comment. All Ma zamas are most cordially urged to turn ut In force tonight for this closing lec ture of their popular and well-known club member, Mr. Curtis, who Is winning such renown in the world of art.
