Lee at Idaho Falls a few days ago has brought to all old-time railroad men in Portland remin iscent memories of one who was, per haps, the best-liked of them all. News of his death reached Portland yesterday. During his career as a railroad man, Mr. Lee occupied the following positions: Acting chairman of the Western Passen gor Association ; general passenger agent of the O. R. & T. ; general passenger agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. He was also bunder and pro moter of the Galveston, Houston & Northern Railway. Ho first came to Portland in 1889, taking the position of general passenger agent for the Union Pacific, as the O. R. & N. was then known. This position came to him in the usual manner of promotion, for he pre viously had filled the posinon of assistant general passenger agent for the road at Omaha. When the Union Pacific went Into the hands of a receiver in 1895, Mr. Lee sev ered his connection and returned to Omaha, but when the O. R. & N. had straightened conditions out he returned as superintendent of water lines in 1896 After holding this position for some years he went back to Idaho and took up his promotion work, later engaging in the land business. LANE TELLS OF INSPECTION ELMAN SALE TOMORROW Scats' for Great Russian Violinist on Reserve at Heilig Theater. The success of the young Russian boy, Mlscha Elman, who plays at the Heilig Theater next Monday evening, has been of the great and sensational order. He played last night in Seattle with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra to a packed house and there was so much delight and enthusiasm over his fiery, splendid work, that a return engagement was im mediately planned. Whether or not It can finally be arranged depends upon switching BIman's other dates, for he has only a week to give to the Northwest and has already signed for five concerts In that time. However, the Seattle en thusiasm was of the order of things which cannot be denied and If a Sunday afternoon recital can be gven, the whole force of music lovers over there will be delighted. The house here next Monday night will undoubtedly be one of the most represent ative audiences, for advance Inquiry and orders have never before been so heavy The sale will open at the Heilig Theater tomorrow morning at 10, and the recital there next Monday is under the direc tion of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. Engineers Testify Before Board That .Equipment In All City Stations Is Badly In Need of Thor ough Overhauling. Further evidence to show that the pumps at the auxiliary stations in the water system of Portland are In bad con dition and should be thoroughly over hauled and extensive repairs made, was adduced at the meeting of the Water Board, held yesterday. Mayor Lane pre sided, and as at the first inquisitorial session, showed keen Interest In the proceedings. The Mayor at times grew exceedingly sarcastic when interrogating witnesses and In speaking of what he found on a trip of Inspection to the various stations the Sunday following' the break in the big pipe under the Willamette River, which carried Bull Run water to the reservoirs on the West Side. It has been pretty well established now that, while these pumping stations should be able at short notice to pump an adequate supply of river water in case of emerg ency, they are virtually valueless. Mayor Lane, in making an inspection tour at the time of the turning on of Willamette River water, discovered this startling state of affairs at the pumping stations, and it was largely because of this that he demanded a thorough in vestigation of the causes leading up to the unnecessary action on the part of employes of the Board. It is said that the Mayor is highly indignant at the apparent lack of attention to rules and lamentable lack of system that he found. W. J. Sharp, chief pump engineer, was an Important witness, and frankly ad mitted that the Palatine Hill station was in bad condition when it was decided that Willamette stiver water must be turned on for drinking supply and fire protec tion arter the discovery of the break in the Bull Run main. A. Feugy and J. A. Leslie testified that the pumps in the Albina and Fourth and Lincoln street stations are in far from first-class con dition, and all of the engineers said that an appropriation .or repairs to the various pumps should have been made long ago, as $2000 would have put them all in excellent shape for service. It was intimated that recommendations to this effect had been made several years ago by the engineers, but that no heed . had been paid to the request for funds with whicli to improve the machinery. Witness Feugy, testifying about the pumps at the auxiliary station at Fourth and Lincoln streets, said that they were out pf order. Mayor Lane asked him if the city had been burning, how long it would take to start the pumps, to which witness replied that it would take about 48 hours. These pumps were run nine years without much overhauling. witness Leslie, engineer in charge at the Palatine Hill station, testified that of three pumps there, only one small pump was run with entire satisfaction. Mr. Leslie said ....at he had at times made recommendations for repairs, but that he was told not to dictate to his superior officers, aad he became discouraged. Spectacle Talk,No.6 SYMPTOMS If in reading you often have to stop and , rest, or rub your eyes, it is a certain indication that you need glasses. If the type blurs and runs together, if the eyes burn or ache, if there is a tendency to hold your book at arm s length, or very close your face, your eyes should have attention at once. With some people severe headaches are the only symptoms of eye-strain. Others can read or sew without tiring, but do not see distant objects well. Still others have none of these symptoms, but find by alter nately covering each eye that they are doing nearly all their work with one, while the other sees very poorly. In nearly every case these troubles can be entirely relieved by glasses. We will be glad to make an examina tion of your eyes, and will tell you just what condition we find them in.
