Portland's "made In Oregon" fireboat,
the David Campbell, Will he launched
the latter part of this week, probably on
Saturday afternoon.
The' keel of the venel was laid nix
weeks ago by Ihe Smith & Watson Iron
Works, which is .building the craft in
tfupple's yard oh Kant Morrison atreet.
Since then a force of 00 men has been
busily-engaged assembling. the various
parts and progress haa been o rapid
that Alfred F. Smith, president of tbo
Iron works, announced today that the
boat will be slipped from the ways this
week.
"The David Campbell will be one of
the best boats of her kind in the United
States," said Mr. Smith today. "She is

In the 'event that the boats of tho
Open River line arc taken over, as pro
posed, the new owners will be backed
up- by the earnest efforts of the com
mercial bodies and shippers In a cam
paign for freight.
"We do not feu! that the maintenance
of tlie river service Is in any sense
Inimical to the railways, with whom
the shippers of the Inland Empire are

we all desire ami win lanor lor, taiu
Mr. Struble; "but it is the judgment
of our people that the, traffic demands
and will support liberally a regular boat
service. Besides, It Is the universal
feeling that the maintenance of open
river boats is in some way vitally re
lated to the larger question of tho com
pletion of the Celllo canal and the. open
lng of the Columbia and nake rivers
to uninterrupted navigation. The citi
zens of the upper country greatly ap
preciate the public spirit of Portland
citizens in organizing and maintaining

done at a financial Joss to a few pro

of certain elements, advocates of the
Ken yon "Hod Light" hill which passed
tho Boliate" h'rlday declare the hill will
become a law if a, vote ia taken in the
DoiiKe of representatives.
Congressman 8. F. l'rbuty, of Iowa,
has takn charge of the light in the
house, and will tise every Influence to
have the hill reported out of the com
mittee. Those who are supporting the
mensuie day that if thiH in done, there
Is no question of the result.
Tremendous interest has hern aroused
by the bill by the terms of which "
disreputahle hojiMe is declared to hu a
nuisance, and "Whoever sliall erect, en
tahlisl:, continue, maintain, use, own,
occupy or lease any such house, Is
guilty of maintaining a nuisance."
To abate the nuisance tho bill author
izes any citizen of the District of Co

eral of the 1'nitcd States, or the United
States attorney for the district, to ask
the district supreme court for h per
manent writ of Injunction against the

SHERIFF PUTS CLAMPS
ON BOXING CONTEST
"We didn't pull off a scheduled four
round boxing match ut our smoker, as
Intended, ftcenuse Sheriff Tom Word
served notice on the committee 'there'll
be nothing doing,' arid we didn't want
to get pulled in earnest."
Thus Secretary F. V. Mosher this
morning explained why tho Portland
Its original program for the smoker
given in Its rooms in the Multnomah
hotel hist week.
"The plans were to pull off a little
boxing match, just four rounds," he
continued, "and we nad arranged for a
couple of police officers to break in
and arrest a number of our., most popu
lar members just in fun, but it was all
off when Sheriff Word sent the, com"
niittee the notice that there'd be noth
ing doing.
"Of courst, we could' have pulled off
Hie match and took our chance with
the sheriff, hut he might" have carried
it too- far. lie might pave demanded
real cash hail, - whereas the police
would have lit us go on our recogni
zance. So we cut the match, but pulled
off the smoker."
Henceforth the club, Instead of giv
ing weekly midday luncheons once a
week, will give a monthly banquet and
smoker. In addition thereto will be
the rem'ubir monthly ranee for the club
members and their ladies. The next
dance will be on the evening of Janu
ary at the Multnomah hotel. The
first banquet will probably .be on the
evening on February 11.

. In its fourth and final report, ub

Juveniles aro given grills,: roadhouaea,
poolrooms, street loitering, lack of In
struction,, suggestive postcards and
roaming about on tho streets. , ,
' Poor aei craving for fine dresses
and" living beyond their means are held,
tod, as1 leading man giria from the
straight: and narrow path.
The ' commission , also holds that
women : employed in Industrial , Hues
should not t'j required to wprfc more
than eight hours per day and should be
provided with seats, and that $10 per
week is Ibe lowest wage, upon which
a woman fan live In fair comfort in

Againit Beatrlctad District.
In regard to a restricted district the
commission reports it . baa found that
restriction does not restrict, but on the
other hand haa" tendency to promote
Immorality and establishing a double
Htamlard of morality. It is held that
isueh a step would be to spread disease
ahd foster debauchery and would en
courage white slavery.
It is estimated in the report that
there are about 3000 professional and
seml-profeslonaI .women in Portland,
and If a restricted district for 500 of
these were established would still
operate outside of the district.
It Is stated that, restricted districts
are heing eliminated in other cities,
where they have been tolerated for
local's, and Investigation lias led the
.'commission to believe that medical in
spection made pussible by a restricted
district causes a spread of disease by
giving' a false sense of security. The
commission also takes the position that
a restricted district would eliminate
official graft, but would rather encour
age political corruption.
Lack of proper home . training, evil
associates, and surroundings are put
down as the contributing causes of the
delinquency of a great many young
girls, drills are named as the pitfalls
for many of tlies-e girls.
In regard to women wages the com
mission says that $10 a week is the
lowest wage that a self-iespectihg wo
