Chief Campbell, of course, is favorable to the establishment of a fire station at some point from which, the entire district can be covered. The Sunnysiue engine-house Is four miles from Montavilla, and it is out of the question for an engine com pany to make a run of that distance, especially as It is practically uphill the entire distance. Chief Campbell believes that a nre station placed high enough on Mount Tabor would command that whole settlement from all directions, as the run would be down hill to Center Addition, westward toward Sunnysidc, east to Montavilla and south to South Mount Tabor. It will be necessary to secure a lot well up toward Tabor Heights. One has been offered in the Jonesmore tract, on the Base LJne road, but it is too far down on the east slope, and a lot must be secured further up to give the engine full sweep in ail direc tions. Xeed of this engine is thought very great. New homes are springing up all over Mount Tabor for which there is now no fire protection of any sort. Commercial Club Opening. Arrange ments are being made by the Portland Commercial Club for the formal opening of the club's new Quarters', Friday night, June 12.

WILLAMETTESTILL RISING River Will Probably Keach 1 9 Feet by Saturday. iFrom present indications the Weather Bureau predicts 17.2 feet above zero for the Willamette River at Portland. This stage will be reached Thursday and what will follow is only a matter of conjec ture. It is safe to say, however, that the river will reach a 13-foot stage by Saturday. The rise was steady yesterday, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the gauge registered 16 feet at Portland. This was an advance of six inches over yesterday's readings. The rise at Lewiston was .5 feet and at Wenatchee. on the Upper Co lumbia, it was 1.3 feet. This condition shows a rapid melting of snow in British Columbia. The temperature at Kamloops yesterday was 90 degrees and no pros pects of cooler weather. The warm weather north of the American line is responsible for the rise in the Columbia and as long as the hot spell continues there will be high water in both the Wil lamette and Columbia Rivers.

TflKEUPSPlRITUflLlSTFIGHT COUNCIL TO COXSIIER MEAS URE AGAINST 3IEDIUMS. "Will Also Discuss Building New City Jail at the First Regular Morning Meeting. The City Council will hold its first reg ular bl-weekly session under the new rule, at 9:30 o'clock this morning, at the City Hall, and it is probable "he session will continue over until this afternoon. The accumulation of business, however. Is not quite so large as has been the rule of late, but the members usually 5e up a good deal of time talking in sup port of their pet measures or against a colleague's. Mayor Lane has not writ ten any letters this week, either to the Council or to the public. Some even say that there is a sort of agreement between the Executive and his political opponents iri the Council, to call off hos tilities for a time. However, this Is de nied in other quarters. i. The nearest approach to the old custom of the Mayor in sending in a grist of let ters to the Council for each meeting, is a veto of the ordinance changing the names of certain streets. He "referred for further action" this measure, because it contained some names of which he did not approve. Among them were "Claude" and "Emilia" streets, at which he balked. Councilman Cottel's famous spirtuallst ordinance will be up for discussion this morning. It has created more comment than any recently proposed measure, and it is expected that those who oppose its passage will be on hand this morning to make a fight against it. It is most drastic as drafted, as it prohibits the giving of spiritualistic advice or con solation for money, and if it becomes a law, will absolutely drive out of busi ness many mediums. A recent report to Chief Gritzmacher by Captain of Police Moore, urging im provement of City Jail conditions, or the establishment of a workhouse, will come up for action today. It may be referred to a committee. This is an old subject in the Council, as several months ago an effort was made to accomplish some thing toward the construction of a joint City and County Jail, but the plans failed.

At the meeting of Evening Star Grange In the hall on the Base Line, road Sat urday the vote of the members on the question of- consolidating the Oregon Grange Bulletin with the Washington Grange paper was almost unanimous against such consolidation. Question of consolidating these two papers and making them one publication will be set tled by a referendum of all the granges In this state, and Evening Star Grange is among the first to act. Consolidation of the two papers has been up for con sideration for some time, but the Oregon State Grange has called a referendum on the subject. If consolidated the two papers would .be printed as one publica tion, but there would be two depart ments Washington and Oregon. Opposi tion to consolidation has developed among the Oregon granges. The Wash ington Grange paper advocated the single tax amendment and published much matter in favor of It, while the Oregon grangers were opposed to it.

Hooks One Fish; Pulls Out Six Philip Baker, While An ft 1 In; In Willamette, Catches Salmon to Which (Are Attached Five Bass. PHILIP BAKER, employed by the Dennis & Davis' shingle mill at Milwaukle, had a most remarkable ex perience while fishing in the Willam ette Klver near the Rock Island Club resort last week. He was trolling with a spoon hook from a boat, when an 18-pound steelhead salmon seized his hook. Then began a struggle which lasted nearly 40 minutes before he finally subdued and landed the salmon. But great was his surprise to discover attached to the salmon lines on which five other fish were hooked. The first fish was a big bass and was attached to a hook at the end of a string fastened to the salmon. The Becond fish was a smaller basB and It was also on a hook at the end of a line attached to the salmon. There were three other fish entangled and held in the same way. He' landed the salmon and the other five fish near the shingle mill. How the five fish hap pened to entangle with the salmon can not be explained. F0RRENT.
