The North Bank, however, although

'' Davtd Ecclea, president of tha Bump
ier Valley , railroad, has recently re-
- turned from a trip through southern
and eastern Oregon, where he was in
vestigating the feasibility of extending
lite road from Prairie City to Burns and
on south Into Lake county and Nevada.
1 In ' southern Oregon the Harrlman
line running from the main line of the
Southern Paeifia to Klamath Lake is
completed within six miles of Klamath
Falls, and will soon be so that staging
will be done away with entirely, pas
sengers traveling by way of train and
' team boat for the' entire trip.
Three crews are surveying routes
from Vale to Natron and from Lake-
view to Redding, in Northern. Califor

Aa there are - about 15 playhouses
In the city including nlckleodlons and
similar "show shops, and as the month
ly salary of a special fireman would
be about $100. figuring that each theatre
does business ten months in the year,
the total -cot of maintaining the pro
tection contemplated . by the ordinance
would be approximately 125,000.
Tha amendment waa made bv Coun
cilman . Dan Kellaher. who addressed
letters of inquiry to the council of
some of the big clues In the east, where
similar orainancea are in errecc m
the cities communicated with It waa as
certained that the expense of keeping

formances la generally defrayed by the
oities. ...
Councilman Baker, who led the odpo
sit Ion to the ordinance a at waa at
first drafted, aays he will not object to
it ir tne city pays tne coat, tie aoea
not think any but the larger theatres
need the extra protection. He says the
moving picture houses are sufficiently
safeguarded. There are - many people,
however, who regard these smaller
places as -far more dangerous in caae
of fire than the' large show houses.

Judge Gantenbein decided aome time

Indemnify him personally would be
forthcoming before the office closed
yesterday afternoon.
"I had no personal Interest In the
maner. one way or the other," said Mr.
Fields last evening. "I felt that 1
should not appear to take side by re
fusing to appeal, if tvae Interested
would put up a bond to secure me
sgalnst feeing taxed with the costs. But
they did not come forward with the
bond, and I am not going to put myself
In a position to be 'stuck' for costs In a
matter- in which I have no Interest
whatever. Now the time la up, and I;
will aak the district attorney n itiimin
the appeal in my name without delay.
