Pirfmen'g sports enlivened tho holi day programme in the early afternoon, contests of many kinds and exhibitions being given in the South Park blocks at 1 o'clock. There were hose team races, water fights, a ladder-climbing: exhibition and a thrilling hub-to-hub race by two volunteer tire companies. The Portland firemen took part In but one competitive event, there beinjr a race between Engine crews 7 and 18 to lay a line Of hose and get water. ISach was timed, and Engine 16 had a wide margin over its rival. The latter frot water In 56 seconds flat, while Hhi?lne 7 required 1 minute ' 12 1-5 seconds. Hose Teams Furnish Suort. There was some good eport fur nished by the Corvallis and Woodstock hose teams. They first ran with their hose carts, laid the line out and got water, running and pulling their carts 200 feet and laying a hose line 200 feet Ions'. Corvallis accomplished the feat in 26 seconds, while Woodstock, meeting with a mishap In screwing the hose to the hydrant, required 37 4-5 seconds. The two teams next ran a close hub-to-hub race for 800 Teet against time. Each team had nino men. Cor vallis nosed out in 13 1-5 seconds, with the Woodstock team a split second behind. The Corvallis team gave as an exhi bition a spectacular ladder climb. The men ran 50 feet to a ladder 20 feet long lying on the pavement, erected it and one man climbed to the top and down again, all in 13 1-5 seconds. The feature that pleased tha specta tors most was the water fight between the Corvallis and Woodstock teams. Each side was armed with a hose that was turned on at the shot of a gun, and the trick to be accomplished was to dislodge at least one man ot the opposing team from a 10-foot circle i drawn upon the pavement. After a short duel with the two streams' Cor vallis was again successful. Old Hand Pump Shown. Three men from each team then put on an exhibition water fight, Corvallis again winning. An interesting exhibit that had been hauled out by the firemen was an old hand pump used in the Portland de-! partment 40 years ago. Chief Dowell ! planned to Vive a demonstration of the old methods or fighting fires, and manned the pumps with husky fire men. But when the line .of hose was laid and the "pump started, it was found that a part of the old machine was missing, so that It would not work. ! Crowds covered the park block to witness the tournament of the firemen,' and every event was -enjoyed thor oughly. The perfect weather . helped to make it one of the features of. the celebration. Signor De Caprlo's band furnished music. Judges of the events were Alex Donaldson, Pete Grant and Aaron Frank. Chief Dowell, Assistant Chief Laudenklos, Battalion Chiefs Young and Ilolden and Fire Marshal Stevens were in charge of the affair, while the general committee members, head ed by O. C. Leiter, chairman; Nick Pierc-ng, Claude Bristol and F. J. Toomey were present to see that the events were run off smoothly. Members of the victorious Corvallis hose team were: Messrs. Cole, captain; Smith. Beer, Huggins, Archibald. Price, King. Hotchkiss, Porter and MacKel hainey. The Woodstock team was made up of the following members: Messrs. Petrie. captain; Deters, CrutB, Rands, Roy and Leonard Hallock, Bain, Molan and Fisher. T1IK DALLES IS HOST TO MANY Old-Fasliioned Programme, Includ ing Community Sing, Given.

What are the symptoms? Pallor and languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very often the best efforts of the family physician fail in such cases and the condition of the child causes the most intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil.sooften prescribed, generally fails because tha weak stomach is unable to digest fats. Try this treatment. Before break fast each morning give the child the juice of half an orange. Afterthenoon meal give one of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills. Keep this up for a few days and then give one of the pills after tha evening meal Mso. Weigh the child before beginning the treatment and again after two weeks. An increase in weight of from two to five pounds will show you that you are on the right track at last. Care is necessary in the diet of the patient and it will be well to send to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for a diet book and the pamphlet, "Building Up the Blood." Both are free. Your own druggist sella Dr. Williama' Pink Pills. old, was arrested at First and Madison streets on a charge of shooting fire crackers. T.

DETERMINED FIGHT IS WON Opposition of Ultra-Conservationists Overcome Interior Valleys Will B Mado Accessible to Settlement. OREQONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 4. Weatern members of the House were elated over their success In securing tho'adoptlon by the House of the Walsh amendment to the good roads bill, which means the expendi ture of J10.000.0OO In the next ten years tor roads in forest reserves. This x pendlture is to be in addition to ex penditures made under the main pro visions of the good roads bill, and, while the 110,000.000 is to be reim bursed from forest reserve receipts, the 5 per cent of those receipts now al lotted the states tor schools and roads, under an old law, will not be Impaired. For more than a year the Forest Service, backed by the Secretary of Agriculture, has been urging Congress to pass a law authorizing the advance of money from the treasury, for build ing roads In forest reserves. When the good roads bill was before the Senate, Senator Walsh, after a confer ence with other Western Senators, offered the amendment, which Is now law, advancing $1:000,000 a year for ten years, and it was agreed to. Measnre Opposed la House. When the good roads bill went back to the House, however, there was stout opposition to the Walsh amendment, the opposition coming from the ultra conservationists, led by Representative Lenroot. of Wisconsin, who has shown himself this session an enemy to all Western legislation. Lenroot became peeved two months ago when the House public lands committee turned down the provision in the Oregon & California land grant bill which would have taken care of the Interests of John Llnd, and since that time has lost no opportunity to oppose legislation designed to bene fit the public land states. He de clared the Walsh amendment an un justifiable raid on the treasury, and contended It would make a big inroad on the receipts from the Torest reserves and correspondingly Increase the amount which must hereafter be appro priated by Congress to maintain and administer the reserves. The wind was taken out of Len roofs argument, however, by Repre sentative Johnson, of Washington, who Inquired. In the first place. Who would build roads In tha forest reserves un less the Government put up the money. Kecondly. Mr. Johnson showed that if" the Government would build roads Into the reserves, make the Inaccessible tim ber accessible and make the Interior valleys accessible to settlers, develop ment would follow, with increase lu forest receipts. Ifawley Obtains Yalamble Aid. Representative Hawley, of Oregon, had a talk With Representative Lever, of South Carolina, chairman of the committee on agriculture, and a mem ber of much Influence on the Deraot rratlc side, with the result that Mr. Lever made the closing speech In sup port of the amendment and demon strated that, notwithstanding the op position of the conservationists, the amendment was desired by the Forest Service and Secretary of Agriculture. As a result of this speech many south ern members joined with the Western members in forcing Its adopton. The Secretary of Agriculture will have the administration of the Walsh amendment and will make the allot ment of funds to the states. The money will be applied to the construction of roads that will penetrate Into thoBe parts of forest reserves where valuable resources await development and will open not only inaccessible timber tracts but agricultural valleys that now lie dormant because there is no way for settlers to get in or out.
