DIECK ' PREPARES REVISION BY BUILDING RESTRICTIONS. Object Is to Permit Frame Construc tion on Lovr-Valne Dovntowa Property. In accordance with ideas expressed by members of the City Council and representatives of building interests. Commissioner Dieck has prepared a proposed revision of the boundary of the inner fire limits In which district all structures must be fireproof. The plan was suggested when Council re cently voted down a plan to let down the bars and permit mill construction buildings throughout the inner district Mill construction buildings are struc tures with frame interiors. The Council decided that this would be unwise, but agreed at that time that the restricted district might be nar rowed down so as to make mill con struction possible on some of the prop erty which is said to be of too little 'alue to stand the expense necessary for fireproof construction. The boundaries of the new district roposed by Commissioner Dieck are :s follows: ' Commencing at the. center line of iTamhill and Tenth street and extend ing north to the center of Tenth and Stark; east on Stalk to Park street, north on Park to the middle of the block between Oak and Pine streets; east through the center of the blocks between these two streets to the cen ter of the blocks bounded by Second and Third streets; south through the center of these blocks to the center line of Yamhill street and west on Yamhill street to Tenth street. This proposed revision leaves out property now within the limits as fol lows: All the blocks from Second street to Broadway between Taylor and Yam hill streets; the east half of the blocks between Second and Third streets from Yamhill street to midway between Oak and Pine streets; all of the blocks from Morrison street to Stark street between Second and First streets, and all of the blocks from half way between Oalc and ?lne north to Burnslde, east to Second and west to Park street.

GRANGE IS LAUDED Evening Star No. 27 Honors 42d Anniversary. MASTER TELLS OF HISTORY Body Is Oldest of Order in Ore gon Speakers Dwell on Good Work Accomplished In Long and Successful Career. Judge Cleeton, J. J. Johnson, Mrs. L. H. Addlton and Wilson Beneflel were the speakers yesterday afternoon at the celebration of the 42d anniversary of the founding of Evening Star Grange. No. 27, Patrons of Husbandry, held in the hall on the Section Line road. Mr. Johnson gave tbe historical address on the founding of the Grange, which occurred September 3, 1873, In a little house two miles east of Lents, owned by O. P. Lent, one of the char ter members. Jacob Johnson, father of the speaker, was the first master. Mr. Johnson traced the history of Evening Star Grange to the present, and gave the names of the leading officers. He said that Evening Star was the first In the county and was organized be fore Granges were started in other counties in Oregon. "Evening Star Grange has been a factor in this county and state." said Mr. Johnson, "for education and pro gressive laws. It has stood as a unit for all good purposes and it stands united today. The National Grange was organized in 1867 and Evening Star is nearly as old as the order. 1 might tell you what the farmers' order has done for this Nation. It is a fact . that every measure the National Grange has ever proposed has become law in this country. "There has never been an Instance where the National Grange has been called on to retract a single measure, for the reason it is a body that never takes action without careful consider ation. The rural free mail delivery, the postal savings bank, the parcel post are some of the things it has brought about. It is educational. For ten years Evening Star Grange con tended for a public market in Portland, and It was due to its efforts this mar ket was finally secured In Portland. We stand for progress in all lines." In his address. Judge Cleeton gave a comprehensive review of the Juvenile Court since he took charge, and asked the co-operation of the Grange. He said this court was to be made helpful for boys and girls in securing homes, and never to be made an Instrument of punishment. , "After January 1, 1916, every church in Portland should be kept open," de clared Mrs. Additon, "to take care of our floating population. The saloons will close, and every church should keep open house 365 days a year. Fur thermore, the city authorities ought now to arrange to open recreation rooms, clubrooms, not one central place, but all over the city, north, south, west and east, to take care of the men who now go to the saloons. The hotel bars ought to remain and be as attractive as ever, but should dis pense some healthful beverage. We must meet the coming conditions after January 1." Father of Dry Bill Takes Pulpit.
