He wae carried Into the grocery while some one called an am I bulance but he was dead before the as sistance arrived. The body was taken In charge by the Coroner, who found that the circumstances did not warrant hold ing an Inquest. Lookout Mocntaijc Park. The Rose City Park Association has Joined with the Montavllla Board of Trade in an. effort to make Lookout Mountain a public park. This elevation has for many years been known as Gravelly Hill, and is situated about a mile northeast of Montavllla. By action of the civic clubs of the East 6ide the name was changed. It was Joseph Buchtel who called attention to the place for park purposes. It contains about 3"0 acres and is easily accessible from the west side, near the new Country Club fairgrounds. The east side Is a precipice of basaltic rock from which many tons of building stone were taken years ago. The view from the highest point s superb, extending for miles in every direction. There is a view of the Cascade Mountains, all the visible snow peaks and the Columbia River from Cape Horn to the mouth of the Wlllamete.

Members Declare That Streetcars Must Give Right of Way and 3Iay Favor Ordinance. That something must be done -to check the all too frequent coll islons between streetcars and apparatus of the Fire' Department, is the unanimous opinion of the members of the fire committee of the Executive Board, which held Its regular session yester day afternoon. There have been sev eral accidents of this nature recently, and at leaat two firemen and two "orse" have been hurt while answering calls within the past few weeks. Fire Chief Campbell was called into consultation with Commissioners Mar cus A. Fleischner and L. T. Peery yes terday afternoon, and was asked as to what he considered a good method to pursue in preventing the accidents. He said that ho had been gathering data from various cities for some time and that he would soon be in a position to make a report to the members of the committee as to what is done elsewhere to prevent collisions. It was at first thought it would be a good Idea to refer the matter to City Attorney Kavanaugh. with a request that he draft an ordinance, regulating the streetcars in such a manner as to avoid these accidents. However, the Commissioners decided to wait until such time ns Chief Campbell makes his report on the subject. -It seems to me that there should be some means of protecting the firemen, the horses and the apparatus from col lision with streetcars." said Mr. Peery. "There should be an ordinance of the city or a rule of the company and something must be done soon to remedy the situation." The firemen must have the rlght-oi-wav. of that there is no doubt," said Mr.' Fleischner. "If the firemen were obliged to slow oip at every streetcar track It would be about as well to abandon our fast fire service and go back to former slow methods alto gether." The discussion was precipitated by the reports of the two collisions. In the case of an injury to Chief Camp bell's horse, the committee referred the matter to -City Attorney Kavan augh. with instructions to proceed to collect damages from the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The latter corporation has on several occasions paid for repairs to wrecked apparatus. HUCKENSTEIN IS ELECTOR Selection of Democrat to Fill Va cancy In County.

SAY THEY ARE SHUT OUT Representative of local Company Precipitates Lively Discussion After Alleging That He Was Not Treated Fairly. When Mayor Lane and members of the fire committee of the City Executive Board met In regular session yesterday afternoon to open bids for 21 fire alarm boxes. A. G. Long, manager of a local fire apparatus and equipment establish ment, made the statement that he was unable to bid because the specifications prepared by City Electrician Bavarian shut him out. Mr. Long made this dec laration before the bid of the Gamewell company had been taken up for consider ation. It was the only bid received, and because of the statement of Mr. Long the committee rejected it and instructed Elec trician Bavarian to draw up specifications that will permit every one who cares to bid to enter the competition. The session was full of sensational In cidents, with Electrician Savarlan, Mr. Long and Fred A. Wood, of the Game well company, as the principal figures. While Mr. Irng did not directly charge that Mr. Savarlan drew the specifications with tho express purpose In view of de livering the contract to the Gamewell company, his allegations virtually meant as much. Mr. Bavarian drew the specifi cations on which bids were sought, and In calling for a round-face box, declared Mr. Long, shut every one out' but the Gamewell company. Inasmuch as there was but the one bid, and that from the GamewelU, It was thought best to read vertise. Mayor Asks Questions. Mayor Lane was deeply interested In the controversy, for he and the members of the fire committee Marcus A. Fleisch ner, L. T. Peery and Richard Wilson are directly responsible for the contracts en tered into for supplies for the fire depart ment. As soon as Mr. Long had made the statement that all but the Gamewell company had been shut out of bidding, the Mayor began to ask questions of Mr. Savarlan. The latter said that he did not know when he prepared the specifications that they were so framed as to bar com petition, and denied any intention to do so. Mr. Long said that he wanted to bid, blit under the specifications he could not. He asked that the committee readvertlse, unless the need for the boxes was so urgent as to make delay dangerous. Mr. Wood, representing the Gamewell Company, eald that the Star Manufac turing Company's fire alarm boxes are Inferior, and that they are "Interfer ing," and that the city's fire alarm serv ice would be impaired and its depend ability destroyed should the Star boxes be put into the system. As Mr. Long deals in the Star equipment he made an absolute denial of the charge, saying that the Star boxes worked all right every where else where they had been put in and he saw no reason why they will not work here. He said they are per fectly "non-Interfering." Mayor Lane then aeked Mr. Bavarian if it were true that it would prove detri mental to the service to put In any but Gamewell boxes, and Mr. Savarlan re plied that he believed It would. "Are you certain?" asked Mayor Lane. "I am not certain," replied Mr. Sa varlan. "Would you have to experiment to as certain?" asked the Mayor. "Yes, sir," answered Mr. Savarlan. "Then you know nothing about it; don't pretend to, and have had no such ex perience," commented Mayor Lane. Declines to Recommend. Pressed for his opinion as to attaching Star boxes to the Gamewell system, Mr. Bavarian said that he would not rec ommend It: that the committee went all over the ground before, and that his report at that time was against any but Gamewell boxes, the city system being exclusively Gamewell up to date. Mr. Long then told the Mayor and mem bers of the committee that Seattle had Just awarded the contract for a large amount of Star central office boxes, with which the entire department is to be equipped there. "And after the Board of Public Works let the contract to the Star Ccmpany." said Mr. Long, "Mr. Wood went across the bay and found some one to file an Injunction against the Board of Works, to stop them from signing the contract. But the members knew their own business, and are going ahead just as though nothing hap pened. Now, this argument used by Mr. Wood today Is the same used by the Gamewell Company for years; it is simply a bugaboo to frighten boards and committees Into letting contracts to the Gamewell Company, and It has worked with considerable success in many cases." ' Specifications in Seattle. Mr. Wood replied to this statement by saying that the specifications of the Seattle City Council for the boxes under discussion were sought to be annulled by chairman of Board of Public Works and its members, by the Issuance of a. letter, stating that certain specifi cations were not to be considered in the awarding of the contraoL Mr. Wood said that when the case was taken into the Superior Court on the injunction proceedings, the Judge at once, after examining the papers, declared that it BANK WITH A STRONG BANK ILLUSTRATION NO. 6 The Oldest Trust Company In Oregon On May 1, 1901, a merchant thought he would like to buy wheat.

"I Just hope the newspaper will pub lish your words In full," said Mr. Long, "for it will certainly make rich read ing for the members of the Board of Works at Seattle." Following the heated controversy over the fire-alarm boxes, the commit tee took up the consideration of bids for BOO hydrants, and after careful dis cussion, awarded the contract to the Phoenix Iron Works, of Portland. The contract price is 16.310. The city is in urgent need of the hydrants, and prompt delivery will be required. SALE OF OLD MAHOGANY Last Two Days.
