COMMENDS THE CHAMBER'S ACTION 1 Tou know I am a native OregonUm." Mrs. Mattle Graves said to a Journal re porter, as they eat discussing- the work of the.W. C T. U., that brings the pop ular -' national organizer to Portland. "My father, W. T. Newby, was a pioneer Ct 1S4S. Indeed, he was the founder of JdcMinnvllle. I don't believe many peo ple know that the town was named for bis old- home In Tennessee. ,. "Father waa always Interested in tem- . perance work; perhaps that is why I was so Impressed with the woman's crusade movement, even though I was a child at the time. My mother wits too much of an Invalid to take an active part in the branch that was formed in our little town, and I used to wish I were old : enough to do the work for her. i -"I was a charter member of the Mc- Mlnnville W. C. T. U. Before I could do any active work there t moved to my present home at Central la. Wash., but didn't forget my love tor temperance." Mrs. Graves filled one office after an other In city, county and state fields be fore ner appointment as national organ leer.. She has confined her labors largely to the Northwest ever since. That means traveling over almost Impassable roods in stage coaches not built for ease, and living at a series of fourth and nfth- . rate hotels. Imagine having the driver calmly an- 1 Bounce the approach of the "falntln' ' place," or being entertained at a farmer restaurant, where your room waa a box ' and your morning ablutions were made from a tin pan. with the aid of soft soap and a flour sack! But Mrs.' Graves only thinks of the discomforts to laugh over, and the en couragements, the hospitable entertain ment, the results of the work are the things she remembers. Noted .Engineer Says That Open River Is Necessary. Artisans Give Dance. ' The Artisans' Social Club will give a dance at Artisans' Tmple tomorrow evening. During the evening the ladles of the assembly will serve a bountiful lunch. The action of the Chamber of Commerce In agitating the open river question is being met with much approval from various sources. This morning a letter was received from Eugene Semple, presi dent of the Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway Company, In which Mr. Semple states: "1 admire the spirit of your Chamber of Commerce In resolving to do the work at The Dalles by state aid rather than to await the slow action of the Federal Government, and you will observe that Seattle exhibits the same spirit and has adopted the same policy In regard to her canal into Lake Washington. "There Is no reason why the States of Washington and Idaho should not help the State of Oregon in opening the Columbia River to free navigation. Both those states were included in the origi nal scheme for , the Columbia River waterway convention." CITY CASH DEPOSITORIES " The new city charter provides that local banks may receive deposits of the city monies, provided the bank has a paid-up capital of $250,000. The charter provides that the application for such deposits shall be made prior to the first Monday in April in each year. The ap plication must state the amount and character of the security that the bank has to offer and the rate of Interest the bank will pay on open, accounts an6"on time certificates of deposit. These are then presented by the City Treasurer to the Council with his recommendations, after which that body decides. The se curities presented must, in all cases, be twice the amount of money to be received on deposit s Mayor Williams, City Treasurer Wer- lein unu vuy Auunur ueviin all ravor the idea of the banks taking deposits n the city s cash, especially so since th interest tnereon wouia be payable t the city.

Fourth And Mobion' 8teet. i An adjourned meeting of the new spe cial committee appointed to consider the oil storage ordinance, was held yester day afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock. The pre vious meeting was continued to await the arrival of Mr. Stillman from Ban Francisco, the representative of the Pa cific Underwriters' Association. Mr. Kelly, the Portland representative, stated that he could not tell whether allowing the proposed oil ordinance would in crease rates or not, but that Mr. Stlll mun could, so he was Invited to Port land. Where Held. The meeting took place at the office of Mr. Flanders, who has charge of the Standard OH Interests in this city, and who Is also one of the new special committee. The other two members were present W. Li- Boise and R. L. Darrow. The former represents the Interests of property owners, and the latter that Of the agricultural Implement warehouse men. There were present, also, Messrs. Slgler, Flegel and Zimmerman, the orig inal special oil committee from the Coun cil; Messrs. Stillman and Kelly of the Pacific Underwriters' Association, be sides Councilman entley and Sharkey. Question At Issue, The real question at Issue was that of increasing the storage capacity of the Standard oil Company in accordance with the ordinance before the special commit tee. Mr. Stillman informed those pres ent that the rates of insurance upon the various warehouse in the district cov ered, by the oil ordinance were not af fected by the Standard Oil Company's plant. Further, that should the plant be enlarged without increasing the fire hazard, there wouM'be no Increase of rates on that -account. Mrl StUiman'e Tiews. It was desired that Mr. Stlllman's views be given r as to whether 01 not it would ' be possible to pro vide such reasonable safeguards in connection with, any Increased stor age capacity as would accomplish the result. In answer to this. Mr. Still man stated that he would prefer not to be the arbiter or judge In that matter. He would be entirely, satisfied, he said, to rely upon the report of a committee of disinterested rereons who could deal with the Question from a scientific and practical standpoint He stated that that was the fnethoj adopted In Califor nia In handling such questions. California Insurance Companies Mr. Stillman further said that the in surance companies did not hesitate In California to accept and act upon the reports of such committees. He sug gested, as one member of such commit tee, Capt. Langfitt. United States En gineer, as a most fit person, and one that would be entirely satisfactory to him. All present unanimously agreed to ask Capt. Langfitt to act. After some further discussion. It wa agreed that Mr. SUUmanjand Chairman Flegel of the Council's special commit tee, should "constitute the other two members -of -the latest committee. Mr. Stillman was agreeable to this, provided Capt. Langfitt would consent to serve and his duties would permit him to do so and-an early meeting could be brought about. Adjournment was then taken till today. Captain Langfitt signified his willing ness to act with the new committee in the oil ordinance matter, provided it will not Interfere with his official duties. He went, with the other members of the committee, to the East Side this after noon to look the ground over, I THE "TICKER" AND ITS LEGAL RIGHT Telegraphic Service That Is Open to All Willing to Pay. The following introduction to a tele graphic dispatch published in the morn ing edition of the Newspaper Trust on October 29, 1902, Is proof that a corpora tion may not only protect Itself from news pirates, but that its right to news does not cease when the news has left the wires. The decision was a Just one. The ticker. It must be remembered, Is a com mon carrier of news, like the Associated Press, but it Is not a monopoly. Any one who desires the ticker service can have it by paying the price therefor and the corporation has no legal right to re fuse service to those who apply for it. So the ticker case does not bear any re lation whatsoever to that of the Asso ciated Press. The Morning Trust's dispatch read: BLOW TO HZW1 FIXATES. Illinois Conn Establishes a notable Precedent.

Hogan, an old sailor of this city, has evolved a system for using gas, for which he claims the following: It will check spontaneous combustion where there are evidences of heating; It will extinguish fire if it has already oc curred, and It will prevent the occur rence of an explosion from a mixture of gas and air. By this method the an- in the ship's hold Is rapidly mixed with a sufficient supply of gas to make It efficient in ar resting a heated condition, the gas being absolutely non-explosive. f- The apparatus consists of a fairly water-tight wooden box or trough, built on the floor of each hold, at the lowest point, and as near the center between the bulkheads as Is convenient (in coal bunkers at the bottom toward one side), and a small pipe leading from the deck to this trough. In coal ships, the ther mometer tube may serve for the purpose, and when the ship is carrying a, general cargo, the tube may remain a perma nent fixture. The trough is filled with a few tons of a material about one-half as bulky as coal. This, with some gallons of an easily stored liquid, comprises the en tire outfit. The entire cost of fitting Ship with apparatus sufficient for charg ing the hold six times is estimated at $100. As the material does not deterior ate with age or exposure to the action of salt water. It may be carried for years, yet is always ready for use In case of emergency. Call Ue up and We will send.
