Probable That Oregon Naval Militia

Bremerton, Wash.. April 8. The
cruiser Milwaukee, Lieutenant Com
mander Henry N. Jenson commanding,
has been selected by the navy depar
ment upon the recommendation of
Rear Admiral R. M. Doyle, commander
In chief of the reserve fleet, to take
the naval militia of the states of
Washington. Oregon and California on
their annual cruises this summer.

Barbary Coast Row
Gets Seven Victims
San FVancleco, April 8. When an at
tempt was made to eject a noisy party
of Sicilian fishermen from a waterside
cafe and dance hall last night there
was a riot, in which seven men and a
dancing girl were stabbed or slugged.
Rosario Marillo so badly that he may

Fire Prevention Day, set for April
18, is already arousing a warm public
interest. The request of Arthur M.
Churchill, chairman of the Oregon
Civic league's committee on fire pre-!
vention, for suggestions as to fire pre
vention measures, remedies for exist
ing conditions and fire experiences. Is
meeting with an enthusiastic response.
Carelessness seems to be the key
note of the whole fire question. For
this reason Mr. Churchill proposes to
collect all the Information possible
that one man's experience may be an
object lesson for others.
Out in Irvington, for instance, it is
pointed out, there is a man who al
lowed rubbish to collect near the aah-.
pile in his basement. He won't do it
again. He knows better now.
A certain Portland hotel permits
waste paper and rubbish to collect
near the foot of its elevator. A match
dropped or cigarette might Ignite the
pile. In a few seconds the shaft would
be a chimney of fire, the hotel in
flames and the result, perhaps, the loss
of many lives.
Prom another source comes the story
of "a Janitor at a local school putting
hot b shea on the wooden floor of a
closet. Only prompt discovery and
Immediate response of the fire depart
ment prevented a bad fire.
It is to quicken the sensibilities of
the public to the dangers of careless
ness that Fire Prevention Day has
been declared. It Is believed that the
public needa waking up to the danger
of apparently little and insignificant
actions.
In order to have as much material
as possible to lay before the puUic,
those in charge of the fire prevention
propaganda ask that persons having
suggestions to make or experiences to
relate write to Arthur M. Churchill.

on Matter of Publio Ownership.
Commissioner Will H. Daly, F. W.
Hild, general manager of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, and
Charles E. Warner, an engineer who
has given long study to! the subject of
utilities, furnished a composite view
point of the public utility question .
that both entertained and informed
members of the taxation and revenue '
department of the Oregon Civic league
meeting at luncheon yesterday after
noon In the Hazelwood;
The trend of the times, said Mr.
Warner, is toward public ownership.
Public regulation is usually the fore
runner of public ownership. ,
The public is not yet i ready for pub
lic ownership of revenue producing
utilities, observed Mr. Hild. Utilities
that have to do with health and sani
tation should he publicly owned, he
added, mentioning water works, garb
age collection and disposition.
There are many times whjen. with
reasonable rates and efficient regula
tion, private ownership may be an
economy, but there is only one thing
to do when rates are high and regula
tion inefficient, and that Is take over
the utility, said Commissioner Daly.
