SUNDAY JMORNING, ,' JULY 5, 1908. . 5 J- 1 ... r 5 SeBolley COOL .WAYSIDE SPRING IN HEAT OK TROUBLE Portland Man Invents Pole Which Will Probably Bo Adopted Throughout the CountryAttached AVith Springs, Does Not Go Wild If the Invention which O. M. Wood ward, an ex-motorman on the Portland Electric, railway, has been working on for years proves to be a success when It Is given a tryout by Prenldant Joaselyn and other officials of the Port land Railway , company tomorrow, tha problem of how to pievent wild trolley poles from tearing down wires will be solved- and Woodward will become rlon beyond the dreams of avarice. For six years Woodward has been working on his Invention. He was a motorrnan for the local street railway company prior to that time, but left the car to work out his Idea of a per fect trolley pole. His Invention was completed laaV week and was seen yes terday for the first time by other than street railway employes. The pole worked perfectly at yester day's tryout, and was pronounced by all who saw it as a splendid piece of work and an undoubted success. The con trivance is eciulpped with a double set which act In such way that the moment the trolley pole leaves the wire It is Jerked down to the roof of the car and held in place, thus allowing the car to fo on any distance with no danger to he span or guy wire. Numerous other inventions have been made with the view or overcoming this tendency of a wild trolley pole to tear down the wire's, but 11 have so far been failures. It 'is altogether probable that If the Invention is a success It will be adopted by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, and all the city cars equipped with it. Woodward Is a native of Vermont and has been a resident of Portland for 30 years. He has the ut most confidence In the successful out come of his Invention believing that he naa'a trolley pole that way forced to adopt. 1 'V 1 i! . . . . . : if fcj ' i " i " ' - " : ' .

Several days ago the commissioners op- erty to make repairs. lir. Smith ob jected, it seems, claiming that the water was needed on his place. The commis sioners still have hopes, however, that Dr. Bmiih will finally accede to their requests and that for years to come the old Barnes trough will be as famous and as fully appreciated as It baa In the past.

John Kelly, an aged and feeble Grande Ronde Indian, was found wan dering along the waterfront this morn ing searching in "vain for another .In dian named John Knighton, who was to meet him here today. Knighton had written his friend to come to Portland aird to meet hlnT-at the boat from St Helens. . , It happened that Kelly reached tho olty last night and got lost In the polsy streets. He Is minus ono eye and the sight of the other--is. very much Im paired, and having no teeth and little knowledge of English he speaks with difficulty. ,A patrolman found him and took him to the police station, were he remained over night.

There he was picked up by Assistant Harbor Master Carlson. The assistant harbor master had seen nothing of the other Indian and was at a loss wnai to ao umu me nappy thought struck him that perhaps by leaving his ward at one of the dock! the other Indian would eventually find him or turn up at tne ponce station. Kelly had no idea of Portland beln such a srreat cltv. He thought ft woul be no trouble to run across his friend at the steamer landing. He didn't know that there are scores of thm.

I did not at any time call the con ductor a liar, but In discussing his de mand for the payment of" my fare a second time, I explained that I had been using these tickets for four months under the guarantee of the eompanv. that they were good to Fern RleVe, and could not see why on this particu lar trip I should be required to pay more.

THREE FIRES filM FOURTH SLOW Department Goes to Sleep Waiting for Something Worth While. Three fires, with slight damage, was the record for the daylight hours of the Fourth of July. The Are - department has not In many years seen so dull an Independence day celebration, but property owners have filed no com plaints on that score. A firecracker thrown on the roof of J.-T. Concannon's grocery store at the corner of Johnson and Twenty-first streets started a blase that was quickly extinguished by the department with out damage to building or contents. A blaze. suDiiosed to have been start ed by a firecracker on the mossy roof or a rooming-nouse at sj jvonn Bixm street, was put out by tne aepartmenu The damage is estimated at J 160. At 141 union avenue the dwelling of Mrs. Mary Harter was set on fire by a chimney spark falling on the roof yesterday forenoon. The building and contents were damaged to an extent probably not exceeding 5.

Moy sat out in front of his dingy, squatty looking cabin, smoked his pipe and went over In his thoughts the misfortune that had overtaken hfm. He saw tho happy persons driving along I-tnnton road with their fine teams. May hid lost his team, his pets and his neart ror work, employes at tne barn thought Moy was dead. But old Moy stretched himself one morning, hustled about a bit. came to town and by noon he had another team, better than the first. And now he Is at work again and goes to the carriage company's stables as regularly as the clock rolls around.
