FIRE LADDER
SUPPLIES ARE
FOUND SHORT
Fatal Elton Court Blaze Bares
Inadequacy of - Equipment;
More Trucks Are Needed.
Tragedy Claiming: Three Lives
Worst of KirKl Suffered in
Portland for Past Six Years
Lck of aerial, ladder equipment
prbfed a' serious handicap to j the
firemen Saturday morning who re
sponded to ' the Elton Court hotel
alarm, where three j lives were lost
and a score or more persons were in
jured. The need of: more long lad
ders was never better demonstrated.
Had the fire been in a larger hotel,
where more rescues would have been
necessary, : results would doubtless have
been more appalling. ; Ex-Chief "Biddy"
Dowell said before his recent retire
ment that the Portland fire department
is . badly in need of at least two more
truck companies. Addition of more than
two would be a wise move, in his judg
ment. Dowell also suggested the' ad
dition of another chemical machine and
a chemical fire launch.
Saturday morning Portland had only
two truck companies in full service, ac
cording to Acting Chief John Toung.
The other two trucks; are in the repair
shop and - the crews have piled a few
ladders on an auto and made for them
selves a make-shift , truck. ,
Saturday morning's' fire at the Elton
Court residential hotel is the most dis
astrous firs from the standpoint of
human toll that has struck Portland
since April 29, 1914, when four Italians
were killed at East Ninth and Washing
ton streets. Many fires have entailed a
greater property loss,! but few have ex
acted a comparative loss of life.
. Mrs. Josephine Chaney, 54, a teacher
in the Sunnyside school for the past 23
years, died in the elevator at St. Vin
cents hospital a few i minutes after she
fell four stories from the hotel balcony.
Miss Gertrude Evans. 25, stenographer at
Wadhama & Kerr Brothers, died at 12 :30
p. m. from a fractured skull suffered
after a three-story jump and Miss Edith
Bogue, 25,. clerk at the Northwestern
National bank, died, about S p. irw from
injuries received In a four-story" leap in
an effort to escape. - y-- .

burned about the body that physicians
despair of his recovery- '
, In the meantime legislation to force
remodling .of fire trap i hotels in order
to prevent a recurrence of Saturday
morning's catastrophe is urged by Fire
Marshal Edward Grenfell. The ; Elton
Court hotel compiled with all fire regu-t
lations, the ; marshal I said, but, at that,
he declared, it was a veritable fire trap,
- There was but one Are escape on the
building, and the only stairway in the
place wound around , the elevator shaft,
which was enclosed only with wire net
ting. The Shaft thus formed a regular
chimney for the blase, which started on
the first floor, directly In front of. the
entrance and soon fanned it into a roar
ing furnace. By the time the guests
were aroused escape by the stairway
was impossible, aa the casings had been
burned away. ; i j '
PLAJfS OPPOSED H
In urging more drastic legislation
Grenfell pointed out that he has con
tinually been opposed in the past when
he sought to improve on fire prevention
methods.' "-
It is better to stop all fires and keep
the apparatus idle in the stations than
to keep our machines busy and "at the
same time endanger life and property,'?
Grenfell said. , - .' Y"
He thoroughly believes in the maxim,
"An ounce of, prevention is worth a
pound of cure."' , "

Although sentiment throughout the state

for a good showing of ratif icationists : :
First. The present legislature .will not

politically by ratification. ; : : Y
Second. Governor fBickett, who retires
to private life in January, will urge rati

the Bolshevik representatives, and Lloyd
George and Earl j Curzon, the foreign
minister. - " (, . -j
After this conference, it "was learned
that Bolshevik Premier Lenin's I last
note to Britain was brqadly speaking
acceptable. The primary purpose of the
Hythe conference.! it. was stated, is to
give Lloyd George opportunity to ex
plain : the situation in detail to Mille
rand. It ; was considered extremely im
probable that Lenin would reject the
interpretation placed upon -his , note by
Kemenoff and Lloyd George 'in a ' six
hour Y conference, 1 which was. that the
Soviets will ; make , a just peace i with
Poland - subject to ratification by the
proposed London conference to bet held

- The Olympic national forest is unsurpassed In sheer ruggedness j and
grandeur. Mountain ridge upon mountain ridge, jagged peak upon jagged
peak, bristling: with the finest stobk "of timber in the United States; chal
lenging, threatening, defying invasion by man. Here the denizens of the
wild roam unafraid ; here the bear stalk's untroubled, the elk throng joyer
the mountainsides, and the deer steals curiously into your camp. Here the
mountainsides are the steepest, ihe mountain torrents the fiercest,! the
mountain forests the densest. Etere are the waterfalls the highest the
mountain lakes the clearest, the fountain i cliff s the most solemn. Y Ilere
everything is in the superlative add . the soul either' rises to meet the chal

As a recreational center, for the lovers
of the beautiful in mountain scenery, jthe
lovers of wild life and of mountain
climbing, the Olympics have' been prac
tically untapped. With- the exception! of
a few resorts at the f orest'a. edges, the
region is a , complete wilderness. : The
Seattle Mountaineers have made it . a

Cox. I in Speech of Acceptance
Outlines Principles of His
Campaign for the Presidency.

Dayton. Ohio. Aug. 7. (U. I.)
If the fellow "who said language was
Invented for the purpone of concent -
lng thought had visited Dayton this
afternoon he would have eon home
disgruntled. For if there la any
truth in this cynical epigram, Gov
ernor Cox has made use of the 12,000
words with which he accepted thw
Democratic nomination for the pres
idency, outlined the principles on
whiqh he will conduct his campaign
and mercilessly belabored his oppo
nent and his opponent's party. ' '
There was very little thought con
cealment in the speech, which., further
more!, for the most part fully justified
the advance notices inspired by its au
thor,! that It would be "bo plain school
children can -understand it." Also, th
vast crowd that filled ,the racetrack
grandstand Of the Montgomery counts
fair grounds and spread out across th
homestretch far into the grass-grown
inclosure departed convinced there was
equal truth in his recent promine ihat
this is "going to be a real fight"
TI.HE FOA STRAIGHT TUINKINO
"We are . in a time which calls fo
straight thinking, straight talking ami
straight Beting," Cox declared, hiv;
then: waded in. It took but a few
paragraphs to demonstrate to his hear
ers and readers for he had adopted tt f
unique experiment of permitting news
paper publication of the speech riprt-r
here in Dayton several hours in ad
vance Of Its delivery, so that ncari,-
everyone of tha aeaemblage had a cr -that
they were going to have con;
erabla "straight talking," at least.
Cox proceeded to lan I with s'
hammer vrtvl Mowsori the "sr
rttrT!lfr:-.iir'---'ncntIiD'hlnjr -Us memU r
