The old fire station at Sixteenth and "Washington streets, which has housed tre apparatus since 1884, will be shorn Of its attractive tront before the end of the' week. Under the direction of Battalion Chief Holden men started yesterday to tear off 10 feet of the tront to enable the completion of the m-idening of Washington street between Tifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The present front will be demolished ' and a new board front put in. The station will be used the rest of this year, when the City Council will appro priate funds for the erection of a new station. The building, which is of frame construction, was erected in 1884. For years after that it was one of the city's attractions because of its graceful front. Proceedings for the widening of Washington street were started several months ago. Commencing at Fifteenth Btreet the street will be widened through to Sixteenth street, talcing out a triangular strip with, a maximum depth of ie feet.

Women Confederates Are Supposed to Have Assisted and to Have Ob literated Possible Clews. Although the stories of the chauf feur, who drove the car in which J. F. Gillies, embezzler of Washington state Insurance funds, was spirited away from Olympia, and of Louis Fink, Great Northern conductor, point to the fact that Gillies was headed for this city, city detectives incline to the be lief that Gillies and his companion, Henry Roberts, are not in hiding in Portland. It is the general belief among the local police officers that Gillies, he came to Portland, left the city as soon as possible. . The story told by the chauffeur in dicated that Gillies and Roberts had left for East St. Johns, taking the train at Chehalis, about 35 miles from Olympia. Mr. Fink is reasonably cer tain that ope of the men taken on a southbound Great Northern train at Tenino, 10 miles from Olympia, was Gillies. There is a theory entertained by cer tain ones of the city detectives' bureau that Gillies and Roberts may have had women confederates to aid them in their escape. Under that theory. It might be plausible that the women confederates had boarded the train at Chehalis and the. escaping men at Tenino. A sharp lookout for the prisoners was kept yesterday, but no evidence of their being in Portland was un earthed. ' GUARD FUND AMPLE BALANCE V'OR FINAL PERIOD OF BIEX.MISI IS 953.O0O.

BLACK DOTTED LINE SHOWS COURSE OF PROPOSED NEW STREET LINE. AND WHITE Captain White, Now at Border, Files Report Skwlns That Account Are In Excellent Condition. SALEM. Or., July 11. (Special.) Of the 1155.000 appropriated by the last Legislature for expenses of the Ore gon National Guard, a balance of ap proximately 153,001 remains to carry the Guard through the remaining six months of the two-year period, accord ing to a report filed yesterday with Governor Withycombe by George A. White, ex-Adjutant-General, now serv ing on the border as Captain of Troop A, Cavalry, Third Oregon Regiment. . Prior to his departure for the Mexi can border. Captain White ordered an audit of the funds expended by his der partment. The audit covered the en tire period of his service as Adjutant General and shows that the accounts are in excellent condition. The letter reads: With reference to the balances In the gen eral fund under the appropriation mad by tha last Iseglalatur. you r adlsed that on June 2S, lhl. the total balance a approximately sa.OOO. The total appro priation waa l.r5.000 for the two-year pe riod, 'rhun It will ba noted that the balance for tha final six months of the bieiimura was In exoru of Its proportion. Before my departure I reorganised tna headquarters force and with your approval designated Major Walter L Wilson aa Ac ting Adjutaert -General during the period of my absence with troops. Major Wilson was provided with detailed instructions and placed under ample bond. Curing to the urgent requests from ths commanding general of the Western De partment of the Army and the desirability of having a prompt response from the Ore gon contingents, it was found impracticable to ad lust all property accounts as between the .state and the United States before de parture of the troops for the border. How ever, these adjustments are well In hand at tbe present time and will ba completed during the present month, ' It Is believed that the property returns of the various unit commanders ordered out will check out with their invoices of property surrendered to the United States. In conclusion I desire to report that tha Oregon troops distributed along tha border are In first-class condition and are shaping up In splendid fashion uuder tha Intensive drilling and vigorous Ufa In tha open air. If the opportunity presents. I am- certain that all will give a good account of them selves In any situation that may be presented.
