A FEW WEEKS ago Tire Chief Campbell pointed to' the. oil tanks on the east side and de clared them to be a conatant menace to tho life of Portland fire men, as well a to surrounding prop . erty. His last act yesterday was the entering of the place to hurry his men away from the perlla that threatened. His own life was sacri ficed to the very menace that. In bis knowledge of fire conditions he foresaw, and of which the Portland public was, by his protest, fully fore warned. Four years ago Mayor Lane pro tested agalnat the construction of the oil tanks In what Is almost the heart of the city. At that time Chief Campbell sounded the warning that waa yesterday fulfilled. Strong pro tests by east side citizens are also a part of the history, and are brought home to the people of Port land by yesterday's occurrences. Mayor Simon declares that he will recommend to the council at tomor row's meeting that the reconstruc tion of the tanks on the present Bite be prohibited by the authority of the city. Councilman Baker says be will Introduce an ordinance for that purpose. It is probable that 99 per cent of the people are In hearty ' accord with the plan. It Is absurd to make a densely populated district of a city the hous ing place for great tanks of Inflam able oil. It Is absurd to claim that It Is possible for such a material to be safely stored In such an environ ment When the spark Is applied oil will burn, and no man knows at what mo ment or under what accident of fate, the spark will be applied. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the oil tanks wef snug and apparently safe. A little more than an hour later there had been an explosion, and the fire chief who had so vigorously pro tested agsnnst. their location, was no more. A proper site for such an agency Is a mere matter of common sense and common prudet.ce. Do we want to kill another Tire chief? Shall we lay the mine for slaughtering more brave firemen? Shall me train the fuse and wait for somebody or some streak of fate to light It for the de struction of more property and other lives? N' EWS COMES from New York of the formation of a combination f Interests irr the mnklng of bread, capitalized at $20,000,- 000. The new combination rlalma It is not a trust. It says it does not In tend to try to secure monopoly that It Is not along Illegal lines. Nor will it engage In Interstate com merce. It Intends to buy or create Just one enterprise, either company or individual In each of the large cit ies of the United States. The busi ness so obtained It hopes to enlarge in every individual place. It hopes to do this, not by the brutal ways of buying Lakerlea and tearing them down, nor yet by cutting prices to freeie the other bakers out of busi ness. It Intends to furnish the best article possible, made by tho best machinery and methods, to supply It by the most modern means, and at a price which will make It possible to earn a modest profit on the capital Invested. These people Insist that they will develop, not restrict, trado or compe tition. The only combinations they propose to make are between them selves. -As they will make no bar gains or extracts with outside' In terests the great question, reasonable or unreasonable, will not exist. If partial monopoly Is produced In any place where they do business they insist that the methods cannot be classed as unfair. Two questions suggest themselves, who will invest in an enterprise so restricted, and. If the capital is sub scribed how will1 they keep out of the bankrnptc; court?

IMme novel reading boys and hood WHY WE DONT CATCH 'EM A ANOTHER COMMISSION CITY wri kisivton, n. J., has now en I tered Its name on the roster of cities adopting commission government. Its population by the laBt census was 96,815. Of Its 14 wards, 10 were carried for the commission, creating a majority of 1902 on a total vote of 11,682. The victory Is not only that of the majority of its voting citizens. It Is another score to the credit of Governor Wilson, who appealed to the people to carry the commission plan against the combined opposi tion of the old time "practical poll tlclans" In both Democratic and Re publican machines. The machines drew to their support not only their liquor and brewery allies, but also a "non-committal" city government. With the governor were aligned professional and business" men, re form enthusiasts, Wilson enthusiasts, organized as the "Commission Gov ernment L-eague. Tnese men, . sneered at as "a bunch of amateur politicians," with the open and pow erful support of the governor, won the day. : The story Is becoming a familiar one. Governor Wilson, it is stated, made a ringing speech 10 days ago, charging tbrrf the opponents of com mission goveiVment were conducting a "gum shoe" campaign, fearing to come into the open and publicly state the reasons for their opposition. The machine politicians tried des- M..nfnl.r 1 r. n 4 A ... 1 j .11 yi oicj, ji. jo oajii, iu iiuv up mi oi- flce holders against the movement, and went to the length of telling the police and firemen that under the new form of government their Jobs would be In danger. . t : What Is it that spreads the epi demic of success when Governor Wilson enters the lists? Is it the man, the causes he adopts, or the methods he Invariably applies? The combination of all three. The people at large have come to the conclusion that the man has honest convictions, satisfying him of the essential worth of the causes be maaes nis own. mey are trusting him as one who sees clearly, below . the surface to the reality of things. So the thinkers in the community are predisposed to support him with their votes,' ; Then the new politics he plays are those of complete and unsparing publicity. "Gum shoe"' campaigns am augers ana resent -ana, .jie wiu , WOMAN was dragged from the roadway Into a thicket and choked Into unconsciousness and otherwise maltreated In the vicinity of Barr Road and Fifty- ninth street Thursday afternoon. The neighborhood was aroused, and a dil igent but vain search made for the assailant. It took until Saturday morning for the Portland police to begin a real investigation of the case. At that time, a current news Item tells us, two detectives were assigned to the case. It is also related that Patrolman Coulter, who was In the vicinity at the time of the assault, made his re port to headquarters Thursday night, but that through some over sight', the real work of catching the criminal did not begin until Satur day morning. It is also of record, that the as sault was the second of the kind in the neighborhood In two weeks. It Is further history that a carnival of these unspeakable attacks seems rampant In Portland and vicinity. The way to catch a criminal Is to seek him. Men who assault women do not remain on the scene waiting two or three days for the police to come and get them. To send detec tives out Saturday to catch a man who committed an unlawful act on Thursday is a large and fantastic Joke. The time to capture a criminal Is before he has had a day and two nights In wh'ch to make his escape. Successful policemen have learned that the moment a criminal finishes his work he makes tracks for other scenes. He invokes all devices for eluding pursuit, and every minute of start in the flight is Invaluable. When all our Portland policemen and their superiors learn this funda mental habit of crooks and apply It, we shall have more captures and fewer crimes. . . . .

For In stance, while In session October S, 1910, a resolution of respect to General Otis and the widows and orphans of those who lost their lives In the Times dis aster was offered and the writer voted "Aye."

The Times states that the Democrats generally voted against it. We were not aware Flavelle was a Democrat, but are not surprised at the way he voted.

After, Columbus had discovered the western world. Vssco de Game had rounded the Cape of Good Hope and reached India, and Ferdinand Magel lan had paased through the straits that at preaent bear hla name and reached India by that long route, the one, topic that absorbed the minds of the intelli gent European waa these progressive discoveries. Geography became the faah lonable study. Maps were among the most precious possessions and naviga tors were the heroes of the dsy. espe cially those who had sailed westward. It took England close to a century afterward to awaken to the possibili ties of these discoveries, and yet dur ing that century and more she was malt ing strenuous efforts to find a way to escape the new world In voyaging to the old. It was in the Elizabethan period that the idea of a northwest passage to Asia was revived, and aeveral vain endeavors were made to discover It, which, though they failed, were not without results to geographical science. Sir Martin Frobisher waa the first English explorer to search for a north west passage to India. This expedl tion. after many disappointments to Its organizer, was finally started on June 15, 16S7, with two vessels. Fro bisher. was a Yorkshire boy, and. the Yorkshlremen were the Yankees of old England. - 80 impressed was he with the Importance of a northwest passage to Asia that he felt It to be the only re maining thing to be done by which a "notable mind might be made famous." The Earl of Warwick was the patron of this expedition, and the little, squad ron presented a funny appearance no doubt as it sailed away, for the largest of the vessels was not as long as the long boats now carried by emigrant ships. In the first storm they encoun tered the huge waves so buffeted the smaller of the boats that the crew turned eastward and sailed back home. Frobisher and the larger vessel pro ceeded alone to finish the voyage, which, I with his characteristic courage, he did until the shores of Labrador barred his further progress. In skirting about he discovered a strait that was named for him. and had he not taken back from thla voy age, which ended here, a lot of ore sun posed to be valuable In gold, hla career as an explorer might have ended wlt:i siaier 1 ana tne atate!'- one said a famous French king In indignant response to a suggestion of monerchlal responsibility.

To the Editor of The Journal Permit me to Indorse what a correspondent , (a Judge I be lieve) said In a recent Issue of your splendid paper, about the noises of the' autoa of the city. I believe that thla bas influenced me more than anything else In holding off on Investments for myself and eastern friends. There are some needed changes in your city ordl- accrued While the apnea! was being j nancea. but the paramount and nresent White Plumed Herons. From the Harney County News. The algret, or small white, plumed heron, which was supposed a few years ago to be practically extinct in tnis section through the ravages of plum hunters, Is again getting a good start here. On a certain Island in one the lakes south of here, a colony of these beautiful birds was recently found. there being twenty-one grown birds and forty young ones. In a few years, they are undisturbed as the law con templates, they will beiulte numerous again. A few settlers In tho vicinity of the lake mentioned know of the ex lstence of these birds and are deter mined to protect them, so If any covet ous aestroyera are caugnt in any at tempt to slaughter them, there will be vlgoroua punishment meted out In the same bird colony there la quite a num ber of night herons, another pretty bird that has become Scarce. All these birds are very tame and fearless, be cause man has not disturbed their nest ing ground. Let them increase and multiply. 1 ' '-" O. A. C. Cadets. From the Corvallia Gazette-Times. An item, emanating from O. A. C to the effect that last O. A. C.'S mill tary department ranked third ' among like departments in agricultural col leges in the United States, Is mislead' lng. The fact is, the.O. A, C. depart ment was one of the three best ' but not necessarily the third. . The off! clals at Washington were unable to de termlne which of the three highest was the best and made no choice above the third. The names of states were listed alphabetically, as Is ever the case In government documents, and In this way A. O. C. fell into third place, but not by selection. There Is hope that O. A. C will do as well this year. If not better. . Not Wholly Unread. From ih Philadelphia Times.
