Twelve years afterward "Vi "Ira Jones, an attorney of Oregon City, . representing Holman. staled to Bowman that th Judgment waa outlawed; that 2 Holmaah4 -tie pTopeilj."andPfteTed Bowman 59 In eatlefaetlon of th Judg " merit, Bowman accepted th $50..,, tr.T In August. 1905, b brought suit anew, alleging that he had learned that ' at the time he was offered the ISO Hoi- matt" had- property1 worth 158,000 In .Utah. Hh figured that, th original TalANUALSYSTEM IS Three false Alarms Send Flre . .meji Racing Fruitlessly Over the City. SUPERINTENDENT .HAS ASKED FOR NEW STYLE , Men and Horses Often Disturbed and " Apparatus Uselessly .Worn ", by Vanlljr Alarm System ,'Xow '. Used In Portland. Another demonstration of the neces- slty of converting the present fire- alarm service Into S manual system, as advocated by Superintendent Bavarian, ' was witnessed last night When, through th-faulty-operation of one of , the aig- rnal boxeaXha fire department .was sent needlessly raolng to aeveral. sections, of . . the city. . .. -r . About s o'clock -twe rounds from bos 144, Seventeenth and Kearney streets, . csme in snd engines 1 snd f, truck S , and hose responded. Hardly had the ; npparatus named atarted to the scene of the supposed fire than a round from ' bog 143, on the steet bridge, tapped In. This call brought out snglnes 1, 4 snd 3 truck 1, hose 1, chemical 1 and the . flreboat. Aa engine and truck I. which " would- respond-to h box in question., were out on the other. alarm, engine 1 'and truck I, under the coverlng-in sys tem, were compelled to respond to the . ' last alrm. Hardly had bos 141 ceased . tapping than No. II, at Third and Wash. Ington, started to 'ring, which brought ,-' la aeveral of th outside companies. . u . .At none of the boxes was there any .evidence of fir and an Investigation ,was made to ascertain the cause of th . dlf fioulty. i It ia thought that soma on pulled box 14A and that owing to some defect in the 'mechanism on the third round the contact atuck on the last two breaks on the character wheel and 141 was sounded Instead. Th alarm from ' box. IS la thought to hav been due to '.crossed wires. Under th manual ayatem desired by .Superintendent Bavarian last night's difficulty would be avoided and then ' th only box to which the apparatus would have responded would have been J 44. In all cities of the airs of Portland -th manual system has taken the place of th antiquated method of having th alarms corns in fllrectly from the boxes, as prevails her. A central station ts maintained and .the boxes come In on Indicators. After .two ' rounds of the signal station -have been noted on the tape, one of the o par 's tora. sends in th alarm by tapping off ,the number of th box on a tapper key. ' ; This rings ths small gongs in 4he vart ' ous houses and is followed by one round of th box on the big gongs, operated by . a repeater at the central station.) .. 1 By tbla system, when there is a call In th district to which th company Is . expected to respond ths men on duty shunt th second round by menns of a push button, which operates jthe horses and releases and rings th gong in the sleeping quarters, of the . firemen. If th box is outside none of th man " or horses sre disturbed. Besides being qulrkerr-the tnsnual system entirely avoids ths ringing of wild tsps In the ' quarters, and there is no danger of sev eral alarma as occurred Jaat night T,,..

' : In. figuring ths cost of getting out rock. -Mr. Chapman believes he is en titled to deduct the amount it would have cost the county to feed the pris oners at the Jail, if they had not been at work, since this Item Is an expense that would have had to be borne in any case. The amount thua deducted -is U20. - Including the board of the prisoners and aTT other expenses of" maintaining the plant, the rock crushed in Decem ber coat II cents a yard. The prison ers were handicapped In making their work by having to move 1,500 yards of earth.' . In all. 1,151 cubic yards of rock war crushed In December, tha crusher work ing only IS days, because of the time devoted by the prisoners to moving the " "" 1 li" ela' of. smith main to be moved. When this is dona, the prisoners will have clear rock to work on, and. Chapman believes that th cost of production will then be reduced still further. . The maintenance of the rock pile dur ing last monMi cost 11.057. Deducting what it would have coat to board ths prisoners; the 1,168 yards of rock cost tb county $717. or H cents a yard.
