Relief of the Victims of Forest Firest The Pending Benefits Wifl I Be Quite To Provide for All the Wants of the Reedy t All . Qjntrftutions to Be Handled by the Merchants Protective Association . The leader bf the relief movement net in the Council chamber th afternoon for the piirpoae of centrallstitx their work. With Dr. Edgar P. Hill in the chair. In an informal talk beforie the meeting Dr. HU1 atafed that the raiUter of relief was liable to be overdone. "Take Srlngwater, for instance., the doctor uld, "there are only about 30 families there and they now have supplies on hand to last them for two years. I think we should centralize our efforts and then there will not be bo many duplications." Mr, Flegel, in open meeting, advocated that the Merchants' Protective Assocla tion be made the central cuiiiiiilttee the relief of the Are sufferers. He said that the association had Tealfy done more than any other body, as thtly were in touch by wire with all the place: the suffering is most acute. Th elation is made up of the leading b men of the community and Mr. I made) a motion that all funds collect relief purposes be turned over tot trie i Merchants' . Protective Association jand Mr. 8abln, its secretary, be made treas urer of the funds, If they would acefpt. I. N. Flelschner, one of the offlcer of the Merchants' Protective Association! In addressing the meeting, told what had been done by the association, and acoept ed the responsibility of its acting as the central relief body, but stated that Mr. 6abln was a very buay man and would require help. He also suggested that all contributions of clothing and provisions be boxed ready for shipment, as the offi tfa of the association were all business men and too busy to attend to such de tails. Rev. Simpson said that he was heart ily in aoeord with Mr. Flegel's motion to make the Merchants' Protective Associa tion the central relief body. He also protested against the solicitation of any more funds, as be' thought the different ones making donations and soliciting them were In their open-heartedness overdoing the thing and that wltsj WhaT there Is now on hanf'ttncf wHat is In sight will be ample to care, for.lfa, vgqAf of all who are suffered ly th4 (Aejj Rev. Soper of the MAs" itrsort? Wh accompanied . the first snlpment'iai. rallef goods and funds to Spring-water, said that every one there was better supplied with bedding and clothing than they have been in many a day. If ever. There was enough supplies on hand to last the resident Jn that district two years or more without Jhelr ever having to turn over their hands. Quite a number of other spoke, but all with the exception of C. M. Parker, who is interested ' In religious work around Lents, were In favor of Mr. Fie gel's motion regarding centralization. Mr. Parker thought the the religious bodies should be more in evidence In the dis tribution." Treasurer Werlein of the Maccabee fund told a reporter that he had received contribution of $100 from Portland Camp. Among those present at the meeting this afternoon were Rev. E. P. H411, Mrs. Dr. Wise. Mrs. Sol Hlrsch, Dr. Mary A.
