Programme for Meeting of t'nlted East Side Push Club Tomor row N'ight. The Kolta Improvement Association will meet this evening on KiUlngworth ave nue to take up the. hall building project. The object is to secure ground and put up a Dtmaing-ior public purposes that eventually will be used as an engine nouse. for a time a volunteer company, already in existence, will protect prop erty in this section. The city will supply apparatus for "the volunteers. The club will also consider the improvement of streets in that section of the city. Tuesday night the United East Side Push Club will meet in the Bureau of Information, East Morrison and Second streets, to consider the charter amend ments. Some of the amendments were discussed at the Inst special meeting, and this discussion will be continued until all the delegates are familiar with the pro visions of these amendments. To the sec , ond Bull Run pipe line, the district street assessment plan, and the new Madison street bridge the United East Side Push Club is favorable, but on some of the other measures there is difference of opinion, especially on the "dry" mains extending from the river. The second nreboat. which is part of the amendment, the club favors, however. The park prop osition is under discussion. The Northeastern Improvement Asso ciation has changed its time of meeting until Wednesday and will hold an import ant session next Wednesday night In the Vernon Presbyterian Church Chapel. At that time a report will be submitted on the proposed resistance to the assessment for the Irvington sewer, which the people of that section say they should not pay for. for the reason that they derive no direct benefit from it. A committee was appointed to raise funds and employ an attorney to fight the assessment in the courts. The committee has consulted an 'attorney, who it is understood, will un dertake to . fight the case for a con tingent fee. The. Mount Tabor Improvement Asso ciation win hold an important meeting to night In the Woodmen of the World hall to consider charter amendments, the oil ing the Base Line Road, and the park appropriation. The Mount Tabor Club is greatly interested, in the park propo sition, and will take an active part in pushing the measure so it will receive a large vote at the June election. The Brooklyn Bepublican and Improve ment Club meets Thursday next to con sider the hall proposition, and probably make some arrangements so the Kepubll can candidates can talk to the people of the Seventh Ward. ONE PASSENGER IS HURT Running 50 Miles an Hour, Train Hits String of Empty Cars. " EL. PASO. Tex., May 12. Running B0 miles an hour, four miles this side of Lordsburg. N. M., Southern Pacific pas senger train No. 7, westbound, at 10:50 last night, collided with a string of 12 runaway freight cars and was wrecked.

IRK FOR PURER FOODS CONSUMERS' LEAGCE HOLDS AN OPEN MEETING. Better Market Conditions and Strict, er Laws Are Objects of To day's Session. A cordial invitation is extended by the Consumers' League to all housekeepers and dealers in meat, fish, groceries, vege tables or fruit to be present at the first of a series of open meetings to be held at , the Unitarian Chapel, Seventh and Yamhill streets, at 4 P. M. today. The invitation also extends to everyone inter ested in pure foods. The National Pure Food and Drug Act, as well as the state law for the purity of foodstuffs, has done much toward the de sired end, but the members of the league believe that unless the consumers become active, both the National and state laws will sooner or later become a dead letter. For this reason, the league is putting fresh energy into its fight against harm ful preservatives, adulteration and un sanitary handling of foodstuffs. The league believes it lies with the consumers to say whether or not pure food shall be served upon their tables. Members of the state and county boards of health and others who have made a study of local foodstuffs and its handling will address the meeting. Among the medical men who will speak are Dr. Rob ert C. Tenney, secretary of the State Board of Health; Dr. Arthur C. Smith, also of the State Board of Health; Dr. C. H. Wheeler. City Health Officer: Dr. Rav Matson. bacteriologist for the City Board of Health: Dr. E. A. Pierce, of the Open Air Sanitarium. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans. Market Inspector, and Miss Lillian Tingle, domestic science teacher, will also speak and It Is probable that Dr. Herman V. Tartar, of Corvallis, State Chemist, will be present. The officers of the Consumers' League are: President. Miss May Montaomerv: Helen Wilson. These officers are assist ed by Mrs. A. E. Rockey. chairman of the League's pure-food committee. INCREASE WATER SUPPLY Astoria Consults Portland Engineer Regarding Enlarged System. W. B. Chase. ex-City Engineer of Port. land; returned Saturday from Astoria, where he was Inspecting the city water works there with a view to enlarging the reservoir for storage of water for that city. While the water supply is still ample, it is deemed advisable to make preparations for a larger supply for fu ture needs. Astoria nets its water from Bear Creek, the head works being out irom the city a distance of 12 miles. Mr. Chase will make his recommendations to the Astoria Council and among these will urge the general adootion of meters. He maintains that the absence of meters and the abundance of water at the time water pant Is first built tends to cause a waste both by factories and in the homes. which is felt as the city grows and con sumption naturally Increases. Mr. Chase says that he finds that near ly all the cities In Oregon and Wash ington have come to a point where they must increase their water supply on ac count of increase In population. LONE CASE OF SMALLPOX Victim Isolated in Pestbouse .Attack a Mild One. Smallpox has joined spinal meningitis in the list of unusual diseases with which the Rose City is afflicted. An isolated case of the former disease was discovered yesterday, when City - Health Officer Wheeler was called to attend Mrs. East gate, residing at 341 Flanders street. Mrs. Eastgate was found to be suffering from a slight attack and was removed immedi ately to the pesthouse. Dr. Wheeler says there is little danger of a further spread of the disease from the case, since Mrs. Eastgate lived alone and none of her neighbors was exoosed The woman was employed as housekeeper in downtown lodging-houses, and it was disease was contracted while performing this work. Ten days ago two transients were taken in charge by the health offi cers at Salem and placed in the pesthouse. both having the smallpox. Two nights Derore they occupied a room in a local lodging-house in which Mrs. Eastgate worKeo. Dr. Wheeler says the principal danger from this disease is from the traveling public, who spread the contagion. . There is an epidemic of smallpox all over the Coast, and the health authorities will adopt every precaution to prevent its further introduction In this city. "There is no occasion for the people of rortiana to become frightened over the disclosure of yesterday's case of small pox." said Health Officer Wheeler, last night. "The case is a mild one and it Is Improbable that- other cases will result. 231 WASHINGTON ST. PORTLAND , ORCQOfi- ' MAKER OF MENS CL0TME3 A rigid quarantine has been established and every precaution will be taken to stamp out the disease at the start. It may be considered only surprising that smallpox has not appeared in this local ity earlier this Spring. There have been a number of these cases in Walla Walla and other Washington towns and the Rose City cannot expect to be entirely, immune from epidemics of this character that are 'common- all over the Coast. We expect to be able to keep this new and un welcome visitor under control." Centralia to Have Races. CENTRALIA. Wash., May 12. (Spe cial.) The race track of the Centralia Driving Association promises to be the scene of considerable activity this season. The track is being placed In condition for driving, and the indications are that there will be a string of about 30 horses from outside the city tracked here this Summer. Centralia has one of the finest race tracks in the Coast country, and it is a great favorite with all the horse men who are familiar with it. Don't believe the Beef Trust's story of its heart-burning love for the Government." The Beef Trust doesn't care 25c for the Government, or the man at the head of the Government, nor all the people unfler the Government. It would like to bring Washington to Chicago, begad, and make it a part of the "Jungle"; it would like to ship Roosevelt to Panama and the people? Why, bless you, the Trust would like to grab us all by the throats and shout: "The people be punctured, if they don't eat our meats! "-That's what the Beef Trust thinks of us. "EAT SMITH'S MEATS.
