Mrs. Ainscoe Holds That
Powells Represented Old
Roof Perfectly Safe.
Having fallen through the roof of a
building while she was engaged In
hanging out the family washing, Lot
tie B. Ainscoe' has begun suit in the
circuit court against B. W. Powell, N.
W. Powell, Mrs. H. N. Webber and C.
Kirkpatrick to recover $15,343 dam
ages for her injuries. She states that
In crashing through the roof she was
crlpplod for life, her left leg being
broken In two places.
The plaintiff resided In the third
story of a brick lodging-house -at De
lay and Russell streets, owned by the
Powells. She rented from Mrs. Web-,
ber and Kirkpatrick, tenants of the
Powells. Adjoining the lodging-house
are three wooden buildings, connected
by a stairway with it, and the women
living in the lodging-house hung their
washings, carpets, etc., on clotheslines
strung above the roofs of the wooden
buildings It was on August 80, 1907,
that the plaintiff took her tumble
through the roof to the ground floor.
She was In the hospital until Jan-
uarv 1.
uar;
The complaint alleges that the ten
ants of the lodging-house were invited
by the defendants to use the roof for
their washing. an4 that this was rep
resented to be a safe place. Instead of
being safe, however, the timbers sup
porting the shingles were decayed and
gave way under the weight of the plain
tiff. She asks 116,000 for her Injuries
and 343 for hospital fees and medical
attendance.

The fast diminishing band of war

and by tomorrow perhaps" as many
more, will navel arrived to participate
in the yearly social exercises, which in

will be held tomorrow evening also.
Among the - matters of - importance
that will come up at the meeting is the
question of pensions. The veterans of
the Indian wars receive only 4 18 a
month, and the men who feel that they
paved the way for civilisation through
the wilderness of the northwest in the
early fifties think they are entitled to
as much as their brethren ef the civil

They say that letters registered and
sent to the president , demanding his
consideration of their petition to ' be
placed on a par with ' the men . who
fought In the civil and Spanish wars
have received no attention., not ' even
being answered. This they attribute
to the fact that they are few in num
bers and politicians consequently care
little for their votes. - , ?
It is a matter of particular' bitterness
to them that while the government con
tributes large sums of money for-the
support of tbe very Indians who made
It necessary that a volunteer organiza
tion df fighters be banded together for
the protection of the early settlers the
men who bore the brunt of the battle to
make the great northwest what it -Is
today have to fight - yet for a living,
while the Indian may sit idlr in his
wlcklnp and laugh at his one-time foe.
Two of the most noted veterans of the
Indian campaigns in Oregon and Wash
ington are Andrew J. Laws of Eufala,
Washington, and E. P.' Wallace of Am
ity Oregon, both old heroes who have
seen the snows of three quarters of a
century. Laws was the first man to
kill an Indian . in .the Yakima war of
1865. He shot the first redskin ever
killed by a white man in that part of
tne state, 'i ne occasion or me snooting
was while 800 Indians had surrounded
a doxen white men in a log cabin on the
Puyallup.
Captain C H. Eaton was ia com
mand of the little party of volunteers,,
which had been hemmed in by the red
skins after two of their number had
been ambushed and killed. Laws, at
that time a dead shot, caught sight of
an incautious red through the .trees al
most out of gun shot Saying to the
captain mat mere wouia De only i'JV
Indians surrounding the party in
minute, he aimed carefully and '
Indian dropped with a bullet In his
heart. The women of the frontier set
tlements on the sound afterwards made
a nag, which they presented to Mr,
Laws for bravery on many occasions.
On one of these occasions he walked IK
miles barefooted over rocks that cut
his feet most painfully to give warning

The Portland Country club and Live

Committees will be appointed immedi

stock. . At a meeting of stockholders
held last night action was taken with
this end , in -view, and ; nearly every
stockholder present increased his subscription-.

Progress of the association's affairs
has amazed even those who -were most
optimistic regarding Its possibilities.
The project was started with 40 acres
Of land and plans for a five eighths of
a mile track. It was thought $50,000

"Livestock men all ;,,over the Factftc
northwest fell in with the idea of mak
ing Portland the center of a great live
stock show proposition, and it was but
a short time . when the original plan
had been enlarged more - than twice
over." said E. L. Thompson, one of the
original stockholders. "The club en
larged its land purchases two or three
times, and now has 83 acres instead of
30 acres. The track has been enlarged
to a -magnificent mile speedway, stand

ord Stockholders Enthusiastic
"The meeting of stockholders last
evening was on,e of the most enthusi
astic, ever held, and the' result will be
the prompt placing of additional stock.
It Is up to Portland-to recognise its
opportunity and take care of this ad
ditional stock without loss of time.
The investment is a good one. The land
value of the association's -holdings, ex
clusive of Improvements, ia more than
equal to the total capital stock of $150,
000. The splendid buildings and, other
Improvements-making it a great driv
ing park will make .e stock of great
value. It is an enterprise that Is self
supporting after once started, and there
Is every likelihood that It will pay a
dividend, although that Is not the prime
object of the undertaking. It is
planned to make Portland in a large
way the livestock and horse center 'it
the Pacific northwest. Thla will be ac
complished through the efforts of Port
land people, assisted in a splendid man
ner by outside men Interested In tha
livestock industry."

a spring center, the process being a
layer of straw, a layer of manure, an

soil, all rolled to a solid condition that
makes It an ideal foothold for the fast
