Both phone 227 CORNER SEVENTH AND WASHINGTON STREETS wu w i inn Wants Tanks Located at Guild Lake. Points Out Reasons Why That Place Would Be the Best Locality A. B. Warnook. of No. 30 East Fif teenth street, nan come forward with a new HiiKKfiMon an to the proper place tu locate the oil tanks and Industry of the Standard Oil Company. He thinks they should be located at the head of Guild Iake, between the river and the Northern Pacific Hallway tracks. "I have never seen this suggestion made before." paid Mr. Warnock yester day, "and I believe that with a little agi tation and publicity tha city officials may be persuaded that the place I mention is the proper locality for the oil tanks and Industry. One of the principal objec tions to the present location is the dun ger of tire or explosion, and the high rate of Insurance to the locality. "At the place mentioned, there is ample space for large buildings and there would be the advantage of shipment by water or rail with very little expense. The lny of the land at the head of Guild Lake Is such that the expense to the Standard OH Company In erecting its buildings wonld be small. The railroad runs near by and a dock could be constructed, af fording ample shipping facility, both by rail and water. Sanger Averted. "If tha oil tanks were moved out to Guild Lake, as I have suggested, then tba danger by fire and explosion would be greatly lessened, and city property would be rid of this great menace and source of high rates of insurance. If there should be extra expense to the oil com pany on account of having to send their Wagons out so far, let them build a pipe fine to some convenient point in the city, which would obviate such expense and Still cause no trouble and little danger. "Tmy mind, this Is the only way the oil question can be solved properly." Bridge Question Also. Mr. Warnock also offers a suggestion relative to the two woodeiybrldges across Sullivan Gulch in North Portland. He believes that the matter could be best settled by the construction of a steel bridge, across which both street car lines, as well as the wagon and pedes trian jtravel, could pass, -lie believes that -In the end the city would be the gainer, as a steel bridge would save re pairs, and would giv.a fur mora satisfac tlon at all times.

PRESS CLUB MEETS It Will Expand and Beautify Its "Home' A' special session of the City Press Club was held last night in the club rooms. The meeting was a most enthus iastic one, in fact, it was an epoch-making one in the flubs history. The members have decided to push the local association. Last night an appropria tion of 200 was made to be used in making the "home" more attractive and "dennish." Another room will be added, making three now used by the club. This new room will be furnished elegantly, and the other two will also be furnished out in better shape. The following members were appoint ed as a committee to superintend the new work that la to be done in Axing up the club rooms: Paul R. Kelty, chair man. Fred J. Wilson, N. J. Levlnson, M. M. Shlllock and William Cund'lln. This committee Is now at work, and lthln a few days the club members 111 have headquarter that will be a Joy forever, to say nothing about being beautiful. The expense bill, caused by the en tertaining of the North Dakota Press As sociation last week, was ordered paid. hillock Is Optimistic. President Shlllock In calling the meet ing to order, said in part: "I feel that this club has a great fu ture before H. The time is here, how ever, when we must take definite steps to make the club a success, not only In a social, but in a general sense. The time for holding the 190S Fair Is not dis tant, when the press of Portland should have a distinct and organized represen tation. Iirge numbers of newspaper men, as well as prominent ngures in lit erature ami commerce, will come to our city. Other local club organizations will have their hands full during the great Influx of visitors, and we must at least be In a position to extend a hand of welcome to members of the Journalistic profession from the sister states, if not to others who have earned reputations tn different lines of endeavor. But aside from this, the newspaper men of Portland need a Press Club, not alone for the social benefits to be derived from such an organization, but because It can also be made a factor In advertising Portland's Interests, the same as other associations do."

Perhaps one of tha strangest things the local police have been asked to do for some time was to send Mrs. Carl Dell to the penitentiary for drinking liquor with men In saloons. This request was made by her husband. Dell had a policeman take his wife out of a tenderloin saloon yesterday afternoon, and march her to the police station. There he asked the captain at the desk to punish her for going into saloons and drinking with other men. He said he had a son at home and he was desirous of raising him right.
