ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE
Day W ill He Set Apart for Public
Presentation to Those Who Took
Part In the Chamber of
Commerce Fire.
: - : -
off. Mayor Lane will designate a day
upon which the -presentation shall take
place, and it has been planned by the
Fire Commissioners to set aside this
date each year hereafter as commem
orative of distinguished life-saving;
achievements, and upon each recurring
anniversary medals and diplomas are
to be awarded those entitled to them
for services during the preceding year.
In all probability, the ceremonies
incident to the affair will take place
in front of the City Hall in the pres
ence of the Mayor and members of the
Executive Board and-C6uncil, the en
Tire Fire Department, and other muni
cipal bodies. The medals will be made
of gun-metal, and each will be appro
priately inscribed, while -the diplomas
will also set forth-more at length the
circumstances that prompted their
award.
Respond to Many Alarms.
According to the report of Chief Camp
boll, the department responded ' to 67
alarms during April, the . most serious of
which was the Chamber of Commerce
building. Special mention was made in
the Chief's . report concerning the . heroic
acts connected with the rescue of several
persons from the eighth floor of the burn
ing building by the aid of roof ladders.
It was also recommended by the Chief
that four- additional life nets should be
purchased, thus equipping each 'truck in
the department with one. The recom
mendations of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters are being carried out as
fast as possible, according to the report.
Engines 8 and 9 have been thoroughly
overhauled, new boilers are ready for
engines 4 and 6. and the department Is
advertising for five new engines for the
following locations: One each for Port
land Heights, Powell and Milwaukle,
East Twenty-eighth and . East Davis,
Union and Holladay avenues, and one to
replace engine No. 6. The department is
arlsff'- advertlfinif for one combination
truck and chemical, one combination
chemical and hose wagon, and four hose
wagons. -Ground has been secured at
Mllwaukie avenue and Powell street.
East Twenty-eighth and East Davis, and
as plans have been drawn and accepted
for buildings on these locations, adver
tisements for bids will be Inserted with
out delay. Immediate action relative to
securing ground in the vicinity of the
terminal grounds for engine company No.
2 is likewise recommended strongly by
Chief Campbell.
Department rtelief Funds.
Referring to the efforts to replenish the
Fire and Police Departments' relief
funds, the Chief says: "The benefit at
the Heilig Theater netted the magnifi
cent sum of 1804: sale of programmes for
same, Jlol.25, and donations from a num
ber of generously-disposed citizens, $1290,
making a total of $2245.25."
. Michael Reiff was appointed a hoseman
of engine company No. 10, and the fol
lowing retirements were announced: Wal
ter A. Wilson, lieutenant of engine com
pany No. 3, and J. Leoy, hoseman of en
gine company No. 3. Both resigned to
take better positions.
A resolution was recommended at Mr.
Montag's suggestion, placing the Execu
tive Board on record as opposed to the
Idea of locating any Fire Department
houses ' on leased ground hereafter. It
was explained that there were already
three such stations in this position, and
this fact was deplored.
Superintendent Savarian. of the fire
alarm service, reported that the East
Pide fire alarm station was in process
of removal to the City Hall, for
protection in a fireproof building.
Work will probably begin within a short time on tho electric railway to
IJnnton. franchise for which was granted this week by the County Court to
the Pence Company, which plans a double-track. standard-gauge suburban
line down the St. Helens road from Nieolai street, at the boundary of the.
Fair grounds. fo Linnton.
The line is a. part of the big project engineered by the Pence Company
to establish ' factories of various kinds on the Fair grounds, and is intended
to make the adjoining country available for homes for those who work in
the factories.
-The proposed road will.be Ave miles in length, and for the present will
terminate at the, town of linnton. Later it is likely the line may be extend
ed into Washington County by Cornelius Pass, as it is said plans for such
an extension are already under way.
in return for the 20 feet asked for on the St. Helens road, the Pence
Company agrees to supply brushed rock and gravel to keep the road in re- .
pair for" the next 25 years, or the life of the franchise. The electric line 1
tracks will be laid on the east side ot the highway, diverging at many t
points from the thoroughfare to maintain as straight a grade as possioie.
The line offers an attractive suburban trip for sightseers during the
Summer months, and with the completion of the St. Johns ferry it will
doubtless secure quite a heavy travel. Tho trip to Linnton by trolley and
then across the ferry, returning by the 9t. Johns car, would prove an at
tractive one in pleasant weather.
Social Innovation Brings Grief
Colored Bachelors' Club Tries a New Fad
and Runs on Breakers
-. . : tlfu lull
THIJ-iiS were
at the colored bachelors' . club.
After the long, ceaseless round
of social activities attendant upon the
Winter months, the young: Bacneiors
of the club felt the depressing effects
of ennui In an advanced stagfe. There
came- to them a yearning for some
thing that Involved more excitement
than afternoon' tea, monthly hops, In
termittent receptions, promiscuous din
ner parties, Incidental entertainments
and Saturday-night poker.
So they g"ot together, four of them,
in their handsomely-appointed apart
ments at Fifth and Pine streets, with
the end In view of devising some ef
fective means of creating a more con
genial atmosphere.
Mr. Thomas Parker, of the well
known firm of Parker & Roy, white
washers, was the first to speak. Mr.
Parker, It Is barely necessary to state,
Is the recognised social leader of his
set, and has been considered a great
catch for many seasons, but, thus far,
has evaded the caps that have been
set for him. It will also be recalled
that at the time Mr. Harry Lehr, of
New Tork, gave his celebrated monkey
dinner at Newport and thus made it
incumbent upon Mr. Parker's set to
follow out the latest practice In high
society, a great difficulty was encoun
tered in securing the requisite guest of
honor; Mr. Parker at once met the
emergency by disguising himself
' slightly and assuming the chimpanzee
role, which he carried out with such
aiSiiny uu ....... ... .j . ...
deception was never suspected at tne
time. . ...
It was only to be expected tnat air.

quit following the leads of other social
communities ana lane mo miimuvn.
Admitting that New York's exclusive
t. n b ui tutlA room for original
research, Mr. Parker said there was
one thing he had never yet noticea in
the society columns, and that was any
mention of an. opium-smoking fiesta.
He thought the club, with Uttle ex
pense, could purcnase a lew oopo uty-

with the one big reception make the
greatest social leaders ot me coumrj
cry aloud with envy. The plan was
immediately Indorsed, and a fund sub
scribed for the purchase of parapher
nalia. That was a month ago.
The Innovation nas since provea a
great success, and many pleasant en
tertainments have occurred at the
bachelors' club, chaperoned by various
well-known colored , matrons. The

during the next 90 days these pleasant

From the same BOurce it is learned,
that during Wednesday night's opium

to the fashionable apartment-house at
Second and Oak streets by no less a
personage than that eminent member
of the municipal Judiciary, -George J.
Cameron. Mr. Cameron is known
everywhere for his lavish hospitality,
and it was only characteristic that he
should insist upon his honored guests
remaining until early in August. He
likewise gave directions that they shall
be given daily access to the county
rock-pile golf lin'ks, and be provided
with the latest sledge-hammer golf
sticks.
CONDITIONS Hi BAY CITY
GRAPHIC LETTER RECEIVED BV
MISS EDITH BlLL.
Guard Forces Man to Dig Grave and
Then Shoots Him So He
Falls Into It.
Miss Edith I Bull, a society young
lady of San Francisco, who is now in
Portland and who has been an active
member of the women's relief committee,
which has done such splendid work at
the Armory, has received a letter from
a member of her family which portrays
some of the scenes which have been en
acted at the Bay City. Miss Bull was in
Portland on her way East when her home
city was destroyed by the earthquake and
fire. The letter In part follows:
"We are alive and well and we think
that we shall get out some way. Tho
people are getting fed and the misery is
abating. The fire was terrible and I
never have and never again expect to
see anything like it. Men cried like ba
bies to see the dear old city going. It
will take years' to build it up, but the
spirit is here, and I can tell you that we
are all proud to be Americans. You
would never know San Francisco, and
the burning of Rome is not to be com-
pared writh it. Not a building is left east
of Van Ness avenue. . .
"I would advise you to stay in Portland
until we get out of the chaos. We have
no water or gas and are allowed only
one candle until 10 o'clock, when all
lights go out. It is like '49. as everyone
is cooking in the streets and all the food
supplies are given us.
"People have been shot down like dog,
which 1n some instances was perfectly
right. The other day in the park a man
assaulted a woman, but he was cap
tured by a guard. The guard made the
man dig his own grave, stood him at tin
foot of it and shot him so that he fefl
into it."
