Efficiency in the camp organization
and a growing spirit of self-reliance
and resourcefulness- were the most
strikinsr features discovered by H. w.
Stone, general secretary of the Y. M.

boys' Summer camp at Spirit Lake last
week. With a party of parents, Mr.
Stone visited the lads for four days, ac
companying them on a number of ex
cursions about their camp on tbs lake
and on trios to several peaks.
More than 47 boys now are at the as
sociation cabin on the south shores of
the lake, in the heart of the Columbia
National forest. One heavy freighting
wagon is continually on the road from
the nearest railroad station to the cabin.
carrying in supplies of food and other
necessities to the boys who are develop
Insr abnormal appetites by their con
stant living In the outdoors. The outing
has restored the health of several boys.
Mr. Stone finds.
"The German army has nothing on
the Y. M. C A. camp tor organization er

rule their own city, make their own
laws and punish offenders. Kach boy
knows the work that has to be done and
what he has to do every day. Every
day they take hikes to some peak or
lake, fish or play games. They also
have had several track and field meets.
"The country In which the boys are
taking their outing Is the most wonder
ful that I have ever seen. Spirit Lake,
with Mount St. Helens Just across from
the association camp, is indescribable
and there are numbers of other peaks
and lakes within easy hiking distance
of the cabin."
Dr. Kenneth Latourette. of Reed Col

Hobbies Also Charged With
Part of $450,000 Expense'
City Commission Adds.
INSPECTION IS BIG ITEM
Methods of Water Bureau Provoke
Property-Owners, Who Declare
They Are Defrauded Often.
Salary Rolls Are Fatter.
Something more than 3450.000 a year
Increase in the expenses of the city
government now as compared with two
and three years ago tells clearly the
story of "economy" under commission
government in Portland. On a par with
that has been the comparative effi
ciency in many of the departments and
bureaus. -- .
Red. tape is the one predominating
feature of the city service now. Red
tape, research work, the enforcement
of new inspection laws and ordinances
and the launching an enforcing of new
pet schemes and hobbies by members
of the Commission, are the elements
which have contributed not only to the
increased expense but to the trouble
which the publlo generally has had in
one way or another.
Hobbles Offset Benefits In View.
Commission government has benefits,
Buch as the concentration of power, re
sponsibility and authority, the fre
quency of Council meetings and the
consequent expediency in handling
business, and the direct supervision of
departments and bureaus by elective
officers. But these are offset by the
proposition of too many new and un
timely hobbles and policies. These are
not necessarily a part -of commission
government, but have developed in
Portland, nevertheless.
Red tape now makes the wheels of
government move slowly and costs the
i.nii..n). -rxt Hnllar. vearlv. To
put through a requisition for a package
of pins- requires the time of a man for
half an hour or more to chase over the
City Hall for signatures. This costs
money.
. . (0000 Cost Laid to' System.
To red tape, as it exists at every
turn. City Auditor Barbur attributes
more than 000 a jear of the payroll
of bis department. He says it requires
six men and a stenographer in his
office to keep records and books un
der the present system. These em
Dlovea could be dispensed with were
it not for the cumbersome system.
In the water' bureau there is all
kinds of grief. The Commissioner in
charara of this department put through
a deal for the quarterly collection of
water rents by a billing system ana
made property owners responsible for
the bills of their tenants. in is nas
caused much trouble. Tenants with
meters have incurred big , bills and
then have moved out deliberately and
maliciously to defraud the property
owner. The water bureau, although
aware of these cases, can furnish no
relief, for it deals with the property
owner instead of the tenant who uses
the water.
Owner Without Protection.
The owner now has no protection.
Th water bureau does not collect in
advance, but waits for the expiration
of the quarter and then sends a bllL
A property owner who knows that his
tenant is going to wove out in the
middle of the. month cannot even get
a bill until the end of the month. In
addition to making the property owner
responsible, the system, as it is being
worked, makes it difficult, and, in
some cases, impossible for the owner
to find out even what the amount oi
his tenant's bill is before the renter
moves. The water bureau nas no wor
ries, 'for if the bill Is not paid the
water is shut off until a settlement
is made.
The billing system is a useless ex
pense as far as tne s,uuu iiac-raie
users are concerned. Formerly the
city sent no bills to these users. They
knew that their water bill was due
on the first of each month, and if not
paid the water would be shut off.
nUIIntc Plan Expensive.'
The amount of the bill was the
same each montn and mere was no
occasion for a bill. They paid. The
monthly billing system, with its young
army of employes, was then adopted.
It proved expensive. Apparently to
make a showing of economy, the
monthly bills were dropped and the
quarterly billing plan adopted. This
reduced cost to some extent, but still
needless bills are sent out to flat
rate users once every three months.

3 FOREST FIRES PUT OUT
Blaze Threatening Timber at Rose
Lake Extinguished.
WALLACE, Idaho, July 31. (Spe
cial.) Four forest fires within the past
week have been extinguished by Banger
Pulaski and his men in the Coeur
d'Alenes. The most stubborn, requiring
the combined efforts of more than 50
men to s'ubdue the flames, occurred
Wednesday, near Kellogg. The blaze
was said to have been started by a
passing locomotive.
The other fires were- at Pottsville,
caused by careless campers. Mule Butte,
started by huckleberry - pickers, and
Rose Lake having its origin in a bolt
of lightning. -
For a time the entire body of stand
ing timber near the holdings of the
Rose Lake Lumber Company, was
threatened, but the fire was finally
controlled through the co-operation of
the employes of the Lumbermen's Pro
tective Association.,
