supreme mistress -of records ar-d cor
respondence, and Alice M. H. Boylan,
supreme mistress of finance, were pre
sented in printed form and distributed
among committees for consideration
and report.
The report of the altruistic work done
by the supreme temple during the year
ended December 31. 1915, was full of
Interest and enlightenment. It showed
that within the year the Pythian
Sisters have made an aggregate of
41,878 visits to the sick, that they con
ducted 102 outings for the poor, gave
216 entertainments for charity, spent
substantial sums for civic improve
ments; that they expended an aggre
gate of nearly $20,000 for a charity and
a like amount for worthy objects "other
than charity."
Other routine business demanded the
attention of the supreme temple at the
brief session yesterday. Adjournment
was taken soon after noon so that the
members might participate in the
parade.
The Pythian Sisters will hold no ses
sion today. All their time will be de
voted to the pleasures of the river trip
and the highway excursion.
The supreme temple will convene
again Thursday morning. The annual
election of. officers will be held on
Thursday.

CAMP BALBOA. San Diego. CaL, Aug.
1. (Special.) Troop A had it first
mounted instructions today while the
thermometer was climbing up to 100
degrees. No one in camp seemed to
mind the higb" temperature, but there
was a rush for the thower alter Lap
tain White finished stable Instructions.
While some were cooling off after
the strenuous - drills other began to
ckyla.k and some to play balL About
half the troop gathered around the
canteen, giving Canteen Keeper Theo
Core Frazee, in private life a store
keeper, at 1090 Atblna avenue, rush
orders for ice cream.
Troop r Samuel J. Silverman dared
any two troopers In camp to put him
under the - shower. Nearly half the
camp took part n putting him under
the water. Private Silverman got the
cooling bath he wanted, and so did
half a dozen others.
Captain White, taking advantage of
the high spirits of his troopers, ue
cided to speed things up a little and
put the men through instructions in
putting on saddles and bridles and
forming into line.
In spite of the nervousness of some
of the horses, this part of the work
was done remarkably well. Not more
than two or three horses broke up the
line. The horse ridden by Trooper
Edward R. Merrill gave an exhibition
in bucking, but Merrill retained his
seat.
Sergeant Grief exchanged horses
with another trooper who was
new as the horse to the cavalry game.
The troop was divided into four
platoons. Lieutenant Hogan having
charge of one platoon. Lieutenant
Wackrow of another and Top Sergeant
Grief and Sergeant Wright in charge
of the other two. At retreat Captain
White took occasion to compliment the
troopers, not only upon the splendid
horsemanship they displayed, but also
upon the way each man displayed his
Knowledge In grooming and the intel
ligent interest taken in his mount. He
also said that he was gratified at the
progress shown, and that it bespoke
well for the troop moving from Its
present camp to patrol duty on the
border at an early date.

office, visited camp today. He is
friend of Lieutenant Wackrow.

Although the area to be patrolled has
been increased by more than 12 square
miles In the last year. Portland's fire
loss for the first eight months of this
fiscal year was less than half the total
for the same period of 1915 and ap
proximately one-fourth of what it was
for the first eight months or 1914.
According to the report of Fire
Marshal Jay Stevens made to the Public
Safety Commission at Its meeting
the City Hall yesterday, the loss by
fire up to and Including July. 1916,
amounted to only 1459,476.68. The loss
for the same period for 1915 was 1968.
754.70 and for the same period during
1914. 1. 581. 578. 57. Although the figures
for June and July of 1916 are estimates.
Fire Marshal Stevens says that they
are within 8100 of the absolute figure.
Fire Marshal Stevens attributes the
reduction in the fire loss to the efii
ciency of the inspection done by the
captains and first lieutenants of the
Fire Bureau under the leaaersnip oi tne
chiefs of the department.
The firemen do the inspection while
on duty and receive no additional pay
for their extra services. They also
attend school once a week and have
studied the most modern methods of
fire prevention and control.
Embodied in the report was the state
ment that during July of this year
there had been ten periods of 24 hours
each during which no alarms had been
sounded and that 65 alarms had been
turned in during ' the month, one of
which was from outside the city limits
During July no false alarms were
sounded and two arrests were made for
arson.
Appreciating the services that the
firemen have done, the members of the
commission voted to extend their
thanks to the chiefs, captains and lieu
tenants for their efficient work in in
KDection.
As further appreciation an effort will
be made to get the Council to allow the
firemen to have one day otf In every
fivo instead of in every six. the con
dltlon now existing. A resolution to
that effect, embodying the rules ob
talnlng in other cities of the country
will be presented to the Commission a
lta next meeting.
