BUILDING BILL IS UP
Permission of Mill Construc
tion in Fire Limits Asked.
HEARING IS TO BE HELD
Vigorous Objection Is Thought Prob
able From Owners of Structures
Erected of Previously Pre
" scribed rircproot Material.
Erection of mill-constructed -buildings
will be permitted within the inner
business district if an ordinance pro
posed by City Commissioner Barbur is
passed by the City Council. The meas
ure was introduced yesterday and put
over until Saturday morning: at 10
o'clock for public hearing.
Ordinances now in effect prohibit the
erection of any but strictly- fireproof
buildings within the inner fire limits.
The proposed measure would eliminate
this provision and allow buildings
partly of frame to be erected to a
height of four stories, provided they
are equipped with automatic sprinkling
systems. A mill-constructed building
is a structure with fireproof walla and
frame interior.
Vigorous Protest Probable.
It is probable that vigorous protest
will be made against th passage of the
ordinance. Owners of some buildings
which have been constructed in ac
cordance with the present law -being
strictly fireproof protest against the
bars now being dropped and cheaper
structures being allowed. The protest
probably will be made to the Council
by representative business men.
Commissioner Barbur says the propo
sition has come up in the form of ap
plications for permits to erect mill
constructed buildings within the inner
fire limits. Rather than grant these
special permits, Mr. Barbur says, he
has proposed an amendment of the or
dinance opening the privilege to all
builders. The ordinance he has pre
pared 'is general, doing away entirely
with the present restrictions as to fire
proof buildings in the inner fire limits.
W. F Woodward Objects.
W. K. "Woodward was before the
Council yesterday to protest against
the granting of a special permit for a
mill-constructed building near his store
on Alder street.
Commissioner Barbur withdrew his
recommendation in favor of this per
mit and proposed the ordinance, which
would accomplish the same results. Mr.
"Woodward asked, that the measure go
over until he and others have a chance
to read it through.
Building Inspector Plummer says he
prepared the measure permitting the
erection of the mill-constructed build
ings. He says such structures are al
lowed In other cities and he can see no
reason for excluding them in Portland,
and particularly since this city is in
the heart of a lumber district and -lumber
is used in mill-cons '.ructed build
ings and not in fireproof buildings.
ROAD JO BUILD TO MINES
O.-AV. It. & Ji". to Construct Line to
, Idaho Quartz District.
Immediate construction of a railroad,
nine miles long, from Pine Creek, Sho
ehone County, Idaho, to the quartz
mines south of that point was author
ized yesterday by J. D. Farrell, presi
dent of the 0.-"W. It. & N. Company.
The project will cost $400,000. Con
tracts probably will be let before the
end of the week.
The new road will follow the mean
derlngs of Pine Creek and In its limited
mileage will climb steadily to the head
waters of the stream, where some of
the biggest silver and copper producers
in the Coeur d'Alene region are sit
uated. Principal among them are the
Constitution, the Highland and Sur
prise. -
Heretofore these mines have been
compelled to haul their ore to the
nearest railroad station by wagon, or
auto truck.

ORDER POWDER PROBE
SECRETARY OF1 WAR TO INVESTI
GATE ARSENAL OtITPUT.
Defective
Supply
Aramnnitlom tu Pennine's
la Cause; First Com-
plalotMade by Kavy.
WASHINGTON. Sept. E. Investiga
tion of the defective ammunition,
turned 6ut at the Frankfort Arsenal,
by a special committee of two civilians
and one Army officer was ordered
today by Secretary Baker. Dr. H. T.
Talbot, professor of chemistry at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
and Dr. Parsons, of the bureau of
mines, are the civilians. Major-General
Scott, chief of staff, will name the
Army member. -
Secretary Baker told the Senate mili
tary ftmmlttee today that the defect
in small arms ammunition made at
the i rankford Arsenal was due only to
deterioration resulting from chemical
action. About 1 per cent of the whole
supply has been found defective, he
said, but as soon as discovered, the
powder formula was changed and no
more trouble is expected.
Chairman Chamberlain asked why It
was that, although the defect was
found in May, a warning was not sent
to General Pershing's expeditionary
force until August. Secretary Baker
replied that the first complaint came
from the Navy Department and
nothing was known regarding the
extent of the trouble until an investiga
tion could be made.
