FEW SEEKING CITY JOBS
Lower Standard Suggested to Civil
. Service Body as Remedy.
The lack of eligible! for several city
positions has made it necessary to make
frequent temporary appointments and
thia brought about a suggestion at the
meeting of the Civil Service Commis
sion yesterday that the standard of ex
aminations be lowered so that more
eliglbles might be provided. The sub
Ject was referred to Commissioner
r.rewster, who will try to Work the
problem out to his own satisfaction by
the next meeting of the commission,
and report upon his conclusions at that
time.
The minimum height for firemen was
increased from five feet six inches by
the commission yesterday to five feet
seven Inches. The minimum weight of
firemen was also changed from 130 to
135 pounds. The subject of changing

be interviewed.

6 Nature's Gift from the Siinay South"
Almost total suspension of wheeled
traffic on down-town streets occurred
yesterday when officers of the police
department commenced enforcing the
vehicle license ordinance. Instructions
were given by Captain Baty of the day
relief to- his men, when they went on
duty at 7 o'clock, to arrest all persons
found driving unlicensed vehicles ar
fected by the ordinance.
No sooner had the relief poured out
of the doors of the station on Its way to
its posts than the arrests commenced
a number of drivers being picked up
at the very entrance of the Jail. For
several hours arrivals came every mln
ute and the desk officers were swamped
with the work of booking the prisoners
and accepting their bail. Finally It be
came Impossible to handle the rush, and
Instead of booking the culprits. Ser
geant Riley, In charge of the station.
directed them to the City Auditor's of
fice with Instructions to procure li
censes and report back.
Decided action was necessary, because
a warning given when the tax was up
held by the courts had been generally
disregarded. Tuesday the City Auditor
reported to the Chief of Police that
fully 75 per cent of those affected by
the ordinance bad Ignored the warning
and requested that they be taken into
court.
Instructions to this effect were
given the officers by Chief .f Police
Cox and two policemen were specially
detailed in addition to the general work
of the force. Before 9 o'clock 22 of
fenders had been taken to the station.
When it became impossible to handle
more arrests and the tide was turned
to the city license department, that of
fice was In turn 'swamped. Over 300
licenses were Issued before noon yes
terday and it was the most strenuous
half day that tho license clerks ever
saw.
There still remain several thousand
vehicles which must be licensed under
the ordinance and it is expected that
most of them will be tagged within
the next few days in consequence of
the vigilance of the police. Follow-
ng the usual custom in such cases.
those arrested yesterday will probably
be dismissed in court today upon pro
duction of license, but penalties will
be dealt to those who further neglect"
to comply with the. law.

Walking Railroad Track.
Somewhere between this city and Hood
River three foot-iore young girls, clad in
thin calico, are wearily tramping the

fugitives from the home of the Boys'

from that institution Tuesday night, and
the officers of the society have com
municated with peace officers up the
Columbia, asking that the girls be held,
if found.
Ethel Still, 16. Rosalie West, 14. and
Tillie Hagel, 13, eluded the vigilance of
the guardians after nightfall and fled
from the institution.
A report from the fugitives was re
ceived from a point between Falrview
and Troutdale. They had slept there the
first night in a barn, arriving at mid
night and leaving soon after daylight.
A hospitable family of the neighborhood
offered them breakfast, but they were in
