L CHANGE
FIRE LIMITS
Mayor Straw Agrees to Amend
Joker In New Building
Ordinance.
Oh, the man with the sweet-voiced
violin
Ib a wizard whose delicate wand
Shuts out all the world with Its
heartless din
And transports us to wonderland.
And the man with the brush makes
the colors blend
In a glory that never falls,
And yet In the end we must all de
pend On the man with the hammer and
nails.
The pen may plod and Ink may flow
Through precept and prayer and
proof,
But we yearn, perforce, when the
bleak winds blow,
To the builder of wall and roof.
Here's to artist and scholar and
soldier, too,
As each toward fame's summit
scales,
And a tribute In passing 'tis suro
his due
To the man with the hammer and
nails.
Mayor E. E. Straw has promised
Col. Wm, Grimes and others that ho
will see that the new building ordin
ance which contained a "joker"
eliminating the fire limits is amended
immediately. It has been agreed to
reduce the old Are limits, moving the
line a half-block east on 'C street
and far enough east on 'A' street to
exclude the school house. Other
changes will also be made.
Mayor Straw has signed the new
building ordinance but it is stated
that no permits will be issued under
it until it is revised. This will per
mit Li. M. Noble to erect his proposed
frame building on tho corner south
east of tho Masonic Opera House.

"Postmasters are hereby directed
to confer with their local school
authorities with the view of adopt-,
ing the most effective method of in
structing school children as to the
organization and operations of tho
postal service. These instructions
should cover such features of the
service as tho delivery of the mails,
the classification of mail matter, tho
registry and money order systems,
and particularly the proper address
ing of letters and the importance of
placing return cards on 'envelopes.
Postmasters should arrange, if pos
sible, to deliver personal talks to the
pupils on these subjects, and should
give teachers access to the Postal
Guide and the postal laws and reg
ulations and render them every as
sistance In securing necessary In
formation." MORE BATHS THAN HOOKS.

Than Carnegie Libraries.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Dr. W. II.
Maxwell, city superintendent of
schools, speaking of the Amoiican
Museum of Nntural History before

to tho city In point of morality of the

compared with that which would ac
cruo front n comprehensive system of
public baths.
"As I draw books for myself from
a Cnrneglo library and watch the
children of tho public schools go
thero for rending matter," said he,
"I bless the great Iron master for
what ho has done for the Intellectual
Improvement and recreation of this
city, nnd yet tho usefulness from a
moral nnd hygienic point of view of
tho Carneglo librnrles Is small com
pared with tho advantages that would
(low front bonovolenco of hint who
shall Increase the nuntbor of public
school baths.
"I know of no better way for phi
lanthropists to promoto tho physical
and mornl wclfnro of the rising
generation, their health, cleanliness
and comfort, than by placing, say
$250,000, at tho disposal of tho board
of education for tho construction of
shower baths In all our school build
ings In tho pooror neighborhoods."

LAUNCHES COLLIDE
NEAR NORTH BEND
Two Passengers of the North Star
Thrown Into Hay and Jnkc Matson
Has Narrow Escape.
The launch Marshfleld yesterday
collided with the North Star Just
off the North Bend dock, smashing
the guard rati of the latter boat,
throwing two passengers into the
bay and almost crushing Jake Mat
son of North Inlet. Capt. Oscar
Johnson of the North Star, claims
that the collision was due to care
lessness on the part of the Marsh
field's crew and In the afternoon laid
the case before Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney L. A. Llljeqvlst.
The Marshfleld struck the North
Star about the middle. The young
man and woman who were precipitat
ed into the bay were rescued quick
ly. Their names were not learned,
but they are said to be from Rose
burg and relatives of the Thomason
family of Marshfleld. Mr. Matson
says that the Marshfleld was entirely
to blame for tho accident. He con
siders his escape miraculous as he
was pinned against the engine house
and severely squeezed.

native of the Flowery Kingdom who
was sent from Marshfleld about two

en days. Sing is out on parole, and
sings merrily of a better career. He
was convicted of robbing a fellow
celestial in a long extinct opium
joint. He has been a model prisoner,
to his credit be said.
"Me belly good Chinaman nowa-
day," sang Sing with earnestness
while his face lit up with a sunshine
of smiles. "Me no more play'em
poker, no crap, no nothing. Me no
more smokee the hop."
The decision to lead a better exist-
ence thus characteristically ex-
pressed, was warmly applauded by
the sheriff, and Hop Sing High, step-
ping high, was seen moving in tho
direction of the depot as the train
whistled beckoningly near tho lum
ber yard. Coquille Sentinel.
