ROUND
TRIP TICKET
SALE STILL BRISK
Many Take Advantage of
Rates 'Available.
ONE CONDITION IMPOSED
Trips Under yTrarfic Knllng Mast
Start Before Sept. 1 Little
Complaint Is Heard.
Scores of nine-months round-trip
tickets hive been bought at the local
consolidated ticket office of the
railroads in thfl last three days, since
the fact becaihe known that trans
continental tickets could still be
bought at thj fares in effect prior
to August 2- The salo of these
tickets at th rates prevailing before
the Increase vas not disturbed by the
nrAf.r. and rfekets still may be pur
chased without change of price until
Tufesclav niiht.
There is one condition that must
be complid with to make them ef
fectlve fo use within their long lim
Its the irekets must be used to start
the tripbefore September 1. Thus
local tvel between Portland and
near-bystations on the various rail
roads lis been stimulated beyond th
date c changing tariffs. As the
stopor privilege is the one point
that eeps the transportation effect
ive f- the old rates despite the in
crese of 20 per cent in railroad pas
sener tariffs, it Is Imperative that
h trip be started before Septem-
W I-
Little Complaint Heard.
"The majority of people who come
the ticket office accept the in-
reased fares without any complain
or comment," said General Agent
Stinger of the consolidated ticket of
fice yesterday. "While many per
sons have, purchased round-trip tick
ets to eastern points, others have
declined to buy when informed that
they would have to start their trips
not later than next Tuesday. Today
a party of three came to buy tickets,
and when told that it would be nec
essary to begin their journey within
a few days remarked that they wpuld
wait until ready to start and pay the
fare, 'as the railroads need the
money.
"There seems to be about the usual
volume of travel. There is a large
amount of summer tourist travel
passing through that ma"kes it diffi
cult to Judge what effect. If any,
may be attributed to the change In
rates. So far as the man In the
ticket office can Judge, it is not in
fluencing conditions. To be sure,
there was an abnormal movement for
a few days of people who advanced
their dates In order to start before
the new tariffs became effective."
Stesaier Rates Go tp.
Steamship rates have also gone up
or are to be advanced in accordance
with the lift in railroad fares. The
San Francisco & Portland Steamship
company has announced that it will
raise Its rates between Portland and
&an Francisco 20 per cent, effective
October 1. The first-class cabin fare
will be advanced from $24 to $28.80.
Other steamship Companies have made
corresponding advances in their rates.
The McCortnick line has increased
Its fare, including war tax, between
Portland and San Francisco from
$21.0 to $25.92; Lob Angeles, from
$33,48 to $42.12, and San Diego, from
$38.34 to $46.44. -

years and the killing of the old oaks
l.ow establishes the fact that the
ark reached in December Is a rec

F1HE DEVICES USELESS
ELTON COTRT GONG, HOSE AND
ESCAPES RENDER NO AID.
Inspector Says - Only Protection Is
to Enclose All Vertical Open
' ings Iny Buildings.
That the usual -fire-protection
devices in use in hotels, rooming
and apartment houses are of little
Value, is the statement of Building
Inspector Plummer in a report com
pleted yesterday, covering an investi
gation of the Elton Court fire-, - in
which four lives were lost. Mr. Plum
mer says this fire demonstrated the
impracticability of devices, such as
automatic fire gongs, standpipes for
hose and lights and signs for fire
escapes.
"The Elton Court was provided with
the various kinds of fire-protection
devices required by the building code,"
says Mr. Plummer in his report, "but
far as the usefulness of these de
vices was concerned it must be ad
mitted that most of them might as
well have been left out of the build
ing. The reason for ' this' ineffective
ness can be Very easily accounted for
by calling attention to the rapid
spread of the fire, which made it "dif
ficult or impossible to get at the de
vices.
- "For instance, take the standpipes
and hose. The spread of the fire was
so rapid that no one could get at the
hose or standpipe to use them; again
in the case of the fire gongs, the
spread of the fire was so rapid that
the wires conducting the electricity
to operate the system were injured.
and when the switch in the basement
was operated the gongs failed to ring.
"Again, in the case of the fire escapes
lights and signs. These rendered no
service for the reason that the corri
dors were so filled .with smoke, fire
and heat that occupants could not get
from their rooms to the fire escapes.
The dnljr person benefited by the
tire escapes, in all probability, were
the persons occupying rooms which
opened directly upon them. The se
riousness of a fire of this kind, there
fore, can be readily appreciated when
It is seen that "ordinary fire protec
tion devices are of little use.
"The best means of preventing rapid

This protection can best be afforded
by using partitions or walls of fire

kind will shut off the draft and after
